"Old Jerry" for years the pride of the fire departm ent and recognized as one of the most intelligent anf cap able animals ever in the service of this city, became unfit for furth CT use today. The animal is twenty two years old and of late has felt the raw ages of old age. One leg is spavdned q and this morning the beast went so lame it could not hobble A horse from Mo- engne company was sub- stituted.
 Jerry is the oldest. fire horse in the department and is magnificent looking animal For more than a de- cade this noble horse has responded to every alarm of fire and for years has been familiar sight flashing fu- riously down the streets to fire, raining every m ,cle to it's great est effort, but answering the least command of it's driver with unfalte-- ing obedience. s VI 4$1
 The fire department is now in a bad shape for getting to a fire quickly. There are sixteen horses in the de- partment but of these seven are in very bad shape and are unfit for quick fire use. They are all seven teen and eighteen years old.
 The apparatus is also fast becom- ing good candidates for the scrap heap. The hugh aerial is anticipated and not fit for har usage.

NAVAL 0IlIC[ND
 E|1fL WILL INTERN
Time for Repairs to German Cruiser
 Said to Expire Soon.

Washington, March 27.-Althougn no word had come from the com mander of the Prinz Eitel Friedr1ch as to whether he intended to take h1s vessel to sea, naval officers here were confident that the next two or three days would see the ship interned. The time allowed the Elite to make repairs has been kept strict oHcial secret. but the general understanding today was that it expires within the next two Or three days.
 - Naval officers. recalling the case of the German gunboat GeIer at Hono- lulu, which was given ten days to make repairs but finally was lnterneo, thought the same situation would re- suit in the case of the Eitel. It was pointed out by naval officers that commanders of belligerent warships rarely intern voluntarily, because or their national pride ana the possible effect of such an act or their own records.
 Destroyers or Hampton Roads.
 No explanation was given at the navy department for the appearance of destroyers off Hampton Roads, but it is known President Wilson and Secretary Daniels are anxious to pre- vent any hitch in the enforcement Of the neutrality regulations.
 When the time limit for the making of repairs on the Eitel expires the customs collector at Newport News will report to the treasury depart rnent and an order for 1nternment will be given if the Eitel does not de- part within twenty-four hours there after.
 May Extend Tine.
 Should Captain Thierichens. how ever. choose to put to sea In the face of allied ships off the Virginia Capes, the presence of British merchant ships at Newport News might necessi- tate further extension or time to the German war vessel to remain. The Hague convention provides the fol- lowing: "A belligerent warship may not leave a neutral port or roadstead until twenty-four hours after the de- parture of a n1erchapt ship flying the flag of it's adversary"
 .... Still at Shipyard. @
 Newport News March 27.-With armed guards on her pier, and aboard her ready to challenge any one ap- proa ching without a pass, the Ger man auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich was still tied up at the To- cal ship yard early today despite last nights persistent reports that Commander Thierichens had been or dered to leave by midnight or be in- termed for the war.
 The garrisons at Fortress Monroe and Fort Wool kept vigil, and search lights played over Hampton Roads and Chesa peake Bay until day broke.
 The gun and mine companies were held a their posts and boicycIe pa trols rode up and down the beach, but the three British warships which were reported to have appeared last night off Old Point were not in sight this morrfng.
 Out of last nights mass of rumors and scenes of unusual activity two facts stand out today. The Prinz Eitel Friedrich has not made a dash for sea, and neither has she been interned.

.RlTCHIE FAVORED
 TO BEAT DUNDEE
 TOMORROW NIGH !

New York, Oct. 26-Wilie Ritchie is favored by followers of the boxing game over Johnny Dundee in their ten-round bout tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden. Ritchie's physical advantages over the local man in height, reach, and weight, combined with a cool head and heavy hitting has established the CalifoE- nion a favorite with the fans.
 The boxers have been working over a month for the bout, putting in two hard weeks before the postponement, when the club failed to have the h- cense renewed. Ritchie will benefit mostly by the long siege of training, being out of the ring for months, while Dundee has been boxing stead fly, his last opponent being Joe Man dot This bout was one of the best seen in New York in some time, and indications point to a better bout Tuesday night on account Of the heavy hitting of Ritchie.
 The admirers of Dundee think his speed will offset the advantages of RitchieM The local man has every qualification of a Hrst-class boxer, and if he can win a decisive victory over Ritchie he will have a right to demand a title bout with Welsh which the latter has sidestepped since the two fought in New Orleans Dundee outpointed Ritchie in four rounds on the latter's return from England, and is confident of, repeat ing over the ten-round route.
 Ritchie expects to weigh in at 138 pounds, while Dundee will not be un- der 130 The boxers will finish up the training today at both camps.

COACHES COME lN
 DROVES TO ASSIST
 WEAK YALE ELEVEN

New Haven, Oct. 25.-A bet that was made here yesterday reflects the oPln- ion that is held in the vicinity or 1ne Yale campus the condition of the Yale team. Even money was land tnae Yale would win only one of it's re- maining games on this seasons sched- ule, the Brown bout. This wager con cedes Yale a defeated team in the games with Colgate next Saturday and in the Harvard. and Princeton contests which round out the Yale season. 4s
 The Yale coaches. both of the resi- dent squad and the former players who, from all parts of the country have written Captain Alec Wilson their wish to help in the present cri- take so Respondent a view of the sit uation. They pointed out last night that Yale's rush Nine, which was weakened Saturday by the absence of both the% regular ends, center, right tackle and left guard would almost certainly have these five first string players in the lineup during the re- nlainder of the season.
 The coaches insist, however, that Howard Ba1dridge, right tackIes Claude Black, Ieft guard: Carl White, center, and Moseley, and Allen, ends, will be in uniform in the scrimmage lineup by the middle of this week and will be found fighting against rCOlgate next Saturday.
 Behind the line the situation the coaches pointed out, is less sat-sfac- tory but is far from hopeless Nal scoviI and Captain Aleck Wilson form two of the highest quality backheId players who have worn Yale uni form in recent years and the coaches are now discussing Fife" Waite and Hfgginb otham, who, was endrush last season, as their two fellow backs in the final games.
