Newport News, Va, April 26.-The German commerce destroyer Kron- prinz Wilhelm will be interned for the Rar in American waters at the re- quest of her commander. Lieutenant Captain Thierfelder. Notice of his intentions was given by the German officer to Collector of Customs Ham, iton late today in this message:
 Herewith l have to officially ;n. form you that intern.'
 Commander Thierfelder later amIli- fled verbally this message by saying it had been his intention to attempt the dash for sea past the allied war ships off the Virginia capes, but that the continued illness of more than sixty members of his crew would make that move impossible before tine expiration of the time limit set for his departure. It was understood the Washington government had al- lowed the commander until midnight | April 30 to repair his slil and put to | sea.
 1 The commander told the collector l that his surgeons had informed Sim today there was no prospect. .f6r fhS early. recovery. of the sailors, who are | suffering with beriberi, rnd added that his ship could not be properly. manned with so many of her crew in- l caqacitated.
 The United States government will main tain naval and miltry ptrol | round the Wilhelm until she is taken to the Norfolk navy yard, there to be laid up near the Prinz Etel Fried | rich, another German sea rover. which was interned nearly a month ago It was said tonight the vessel probably would not be moved to the navy yard before Wednesday. Commander Thierfelder's notice to Collector Hamilton came uneMpectedA ly. Early in the day the Wilhelm, which had been anchored in the ,har- bor since leaving the ship yard last week. was towed to coal pier and began loading several thousand tons of coal.
 This fact, together with reports that she had been granted sufficien! provisions to carry her to the nearest German port, caused the belief in some quarters that the cruiser was preparing to depart The loading of the coal continued after the notice of the commander had been given. The vessels bunkers will not be filled be fore late tomorrow.
 The Wilhelm, formerly a North German Lloyd passenger liner, plying between New York and Bremen, ar rived here April II after spending eight months in the South seas. Sev. eral times she was reported destroyed but she eluded many hostile warsAips which sought her and destroyed 13 merchant vessels of the allied ene- mics of Germany and one neutral vessel a Norwegian bark. The com. mander claimed the bark carried con- traband.

ROOSEVELT LETTERS READ TO JURY IN CELEBRATED
 LIBEL TRIAL.
DEMOCRATS ARE GIVEN SOP
The Colonel. While Governor, Sent a Copy of His Message to Be DeIiV- cred to the Legislature to Boss" Patt to Pass Upon.
Platt to Pass Upon.

Syracuse N Y. April 26.-Theo. dore Roosevelt admitted under cross examination today in the stunt for al- leged libel which William Barnes has brought against him that while gov eruor he had freely consulted the "boss" Of the republican party in New York state in reference to the ap- pointment Of officials in the state government and various legislative and political matters.
 The "boss" named was Thomas C. Platt, who at that time represented New York in the United States sen ate The former president said he took the advice of the senator in many matters, among them to appoint a democrat to the office of tax com missioner to please Grady whom the colonel described as a lieutenant boss" of Richard Croher, then leader of Tammany Hall.
 The testimony resulted from qucs, Sons asked after letters of a series that passed between Colonel Roo5e- welt and Senator Platt had been read to the jury. In these letters both writers discussed all manner of pCliti- cal and legislative affairs. In one Colonel Roosevelt asked the senator's advice about making speeches. In another Senator Platt told the colonel he had received copy of a bill in- troduced by Grady in which the sena- tor said he considered it inadvisable to give Tammany from Sl0000,0O0 to $t2,000,000 on an appropriation to eX- pend upon the water front of New York as it would simply be putting an unnecessary club in the hands of those people with which to knock our brains out"
 With another letter the colonel sent the senator a proof of his message to the legislature which dealt with among other things, public utilities, the franchise tax, the trusts, indus trial conditions and labor The par dealing with the trusts the colonel wrote had been submitted to several experts including Ehhu Root Presi- dent Hadley of Yale. Profe sor Jeuks of Cornell and James A. Dill" who was described in the letter as "big corporation lawyer"
 And in the last letter read, which was dated in 1901, Colonel Roosevelt told the senator that he did not want to be vice president of the United States as if was moi an office in vnfCn he could do anything The colonel said he would like to be governor for another term and that in suite of all the work and worry-and very largely because of your constant courtesy and consideration. my dear senator 1 have thoroughly enojyed being gov ernor."
 The colonel added that not being a money maker, he felt in honor bound to leave his children the equivalent in way of a substantial sum of actual achievement in politics or letters"

NOT AGAINST THE RAILROADS
Merely Question of Bringing Into
 Use the Cheaper Form of Transpor-
 tation That Was Furnished by Ma ture in the Waterways of Country.

Muskogee. Okla. April 2G.-Devel. opement of waterways and the natural resultant transformation competition, aud not regulation by interstate com. merce commission or other bodies offers the escape of the United States from excessive railroad freight rates, according to Senator Joseph E Rans- dell, of Louisiana, chairman of the senate committee on rivers and har- bors, and president of the National 1 Rivers and Harbors Association. who addressed the Southern Commercial | congress here tonight.
 Senator Bansdell pointed out that he was not an opponent or railroads for our railroads have been the great est ciyilizers the world has known.
 But the shippers and the consum- CTS of this county are entitled to the use Of the waterways God has given them" he said, and such competition is the proper way to regulate our roads"
 The chief advantage of water trans portation is it's great cheapness com pared to rail as an example. eight million tons of freight passed through the Sault Ste Marie last year al an average cost of G8 of a mill compar. ed with a rail rate of .73 of a cent This same relative difference exits on all well improved waterways.
 Another typical case is the rail rate from New Orleans, on the Illinois Central, to Hammond, La, a distance of 58 miles, which is l2 1-2 cents while the rate from New Orleans to Mem phis, on the same road, a distance of 395 miles, is F cents. Memphis is on the Mississippi river. Hammond is in the interior.
 If the government were to charge people the same proportionate rate for carrying mail the cost of transport ing a letter from New Orleans to Ham. mond would be about E cents, while one to Memphis could be carried for about two cents"
 Senator Ransdell insisted that the  Arkansas river is susceptible to nayi- gation 10 Muskogee and pointed out that the development of that water way would benefit the entire surround, ing section.
 "The development of the Missouri river has done wonders for Kansas City, he continued and will con tinue to be the potent factor in the upbuilding of it's tributary territory They have built there magnificent ter minals in connection with the water way l firmly believe that in order to compete with the railroad systems of loading and unloading we must dis. pense with the old fashioned negro stevedore and put in his place meca- anical devices such as are ured on the great lakes
 Senator Ransdell pointed out that great decrease in freight rates would follow the establishment of | barge lines connecting with ocean go- ing freighters at New Orleans and running to St Louis, Kansas City.

COOPERATION AIDS FARMER
Neighbors Join in Helping One Anoth-
err In Business and Cutting Out
Middlemen's Profits.

The Nebraska Farmers congress,
which held it's annual meeting in
Omaha recently, represented 81 organi-
cations with a membership of more
than sixty thousand agriculturists The
trend toward cooperation in Nebraska
is not more marked than in some other
states. One of the significant develop
ments of the last few years has been
that of farmers getting together to
help one another in business and to
cut out the middlemen's profits in
marketing agricultural products
Some states, notably Minnesota and
Wisconsin, have hundreds of co-opera-
tive creameries that have been estab-
lished within a decade or two. The
farmers in all parts of the country are
cooperating in building and operating
cheese factories, in owning elevators
for the marketing of grain, in carrying
on live stock marketing operations and
doing many other things that are a
part of the business of farming
success has been made of cooper
alive shipping of live stock in some
farm districts says Indianapolis Star
Neighbors join in furnishing the stock
needed to fill car, or several cars,
and one of their number goes to mar
commissions and middlemen's profits.
Similar saving is effected in buying
supplies

TEXAS WOULD AID RAILROADS
Farmers Union at Fort Worth Year
Ago Declared That Facilities
Should Be Improved.

1t has been represented that the
farmers generally have been opposed
to the movement to increase railroad
freight rates, but that is not the posi-
ton taken by the farmers of Texas"
remarked Sherline Falk of Fort Worth,
while in Washington recently. The
Farmers, union at Fort Worth year
ago declared that railroad facilities
should be improved and mileage In
creased. and that undoubtedly reflects
the sentiment of the farmers of the
state.
There are approximately $500 miles
of railroad in Texas in the hands of
receivers, and in 1914 less than fifty
miles of new track was laid. If We
are to improve facilities we must have
an increase in net revenue, which can
only come from an increase in rates
or reduction of operating expenses.
Il believe ii to be the attitude of all
farmers in Texas that capital invested
in railroad property should receive as
good compensation as capital invested
in agriculture, which, as general av-
erage, is about per cent. EN-
ployees of railroads should receive an
average wage as high as farmers, who
get approximately seven cents an hour
for 13 hours day, and their board
and washing The farmer should not
be asked to pay capital and labor
higher wages for hauling his products
to market than he paws TO the men on
the farm, but he is willing to pay
them as we'll. The farmer does not
advocate reduction of wages as a So
luton of the railroad problem, and it
seems that the only way under the cir
cumstances is to grant the roads the
increase they ask in freight rates,
which will enable them to improve
their facilities and extend their mile
age, and thereby help the farmer"

LEGISLATING FOR DIVERSITY
South Carolina Farmers Asked to De-
vote Less Acreage to the Pro-
duction of Cotton

The European war has brought
home to the people of the United
States the great dependence IF the
South on its cotton With its cot
ton market in large part closed, a
considerable part of the country feels
helpless and demands extraordinary
aid from the rest of the nation.
Many Southerners are convinced
that this dependence on a single crop
is not only unnecessary but unwise,
says Cleveland Plain Dealer. The plant
ers have been urged to devote part of
their land to other crops, so that in
such an emergency as that which now
confronts them they would be in no
danger Of ruin.
1t has remained for the South Car
DINA legislature to put this advice
into the form of law A bill has been
passed to compel every planter of the
state to devote at least one-third of
his acreage to some crop other than
cotton.
Such law is paternalistic in the
extreme, and it is doubtful if it could
be enforced. To dictate to a land
owner what he shall do with his land
has seldom been successfully attempt
ed in the United States. The law,
however. may not be without merit.
Even if it is unenforceable it will
serve the purpose of informing plant
ers that the best opinion is in favor of
crop diversification.

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS

Take a Glass of Salts Before Break

If you must have your meat every

ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with duh
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so 1t no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
