MANY LOCAL ITEMS AND

At the point Of an ammonia pistol
Wednesday evening Wallace Champagne
Of High street was forced to reach his
hand into his pocket and display before
the bold bandit the extent of his wealth,
which was S. cents. The holdup man
said all he wanted was 80 cents, which
he took. then backed his way down the
railroad track and finally out Of reach
in the darkness. The ho1dup occurred
shortly after 10 o'clock Wednesday eve
ming on Burrill street, nearly in front OF
the home Of Frank E. Hammond. as Mr..
Champine was on his return home from
his fathers grocery store in Waterville,
where he is employed. Mr.. Champine
had left the electric car at Chapman's
Corner and was walking up Burrill
street. The fellow stepped out from the
darkness and demanded his money. The
mans face was covered with a dark col
ored cloth. At the sound Of the mans
voice Mr.. Champagne says he recognized
him. The fellow then dropped the mask
from his face and proceeded to show
his victim the workings Of the ammonia
revolver. Still keeping Mr.. Champine un-
der cover the fellow got the 80 cents
and made his getaway. The fellow IS
thought to be known as a local char
acter of the town and it is understood
that his identity had been clearly estab-
lished. At last reports no clues as to
his Whereabouts had been discovered.

No Attempt to Leave

Norfolks. April 3.-The German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Fnederich had made no attempt to leave Newport News for her expected dash to sex. up to II 0 clock tonight, according so late reports received here from Newport News
 < \ large number of the Eitel's crew en- joyed shore leave today. Accompanied by noncommissioned officers of fortress Mon roe they witnessed q moving picture per- 1ormance in Newport News this afternoon. So far as could be learned there were no indications that the Eite was preparing to depart tonight.
 There was practically no communication between tas city and Newport News to- day and it was impossible to obtain any news of the Eitels situation until late tonight.
 No British merchant vessels had cleared from this port since Friday afternoon at 5:45 o'clock so far as the official records show, and there was considerable specu- lation as to whether the Eitel Friedrich would take advantage of this and make a dash for sea.
 No authoritative confirmation could be obtained of reports that the German com fnerce raider had interncd.
 t UnVerfied reports reached here tonight that several British warships off Cape Henry had been damaged by the storm during last night and were preparing to go to Halifax for repairs

TICK ERADICATION IS. URGED BY GOVERNOR
Henderson, in Proclamation, Sets Apart Week for
 That Purpose


 Montgomery, Npril Special Main taining that cattle raising is a necessary adjunct to successful cotton production, and should no longer be neglected" Gov ernor Henderson today issued d procla- nation designating the week commencing Monday. April 26 for the proper agitation and discussion of methods looking to tick eradication from the state
 The governor declares that Alabama has achieved little in stock raising. all though few counties nave achieved sue cess in that particular industry The only way to succeed. asserts the governor, is to remove the parasite known as the cattle tick
 1t is no longer a time To daily with sthis condition" said the governor. ''The state should awaken and concern itself with these conditions with q view of bringing about speedy relief When the people are once aroused to the necessity Of acting along these lines. l am sure they will be ready to cooperate and take such steps in order that relief will not only be speedy, but permanent.
 .fbe governor asks that each of the public schools of the state set aside some period in each lay for the discussion of the question.

PRINZ EITEL FAILS TO MAKE EXPECTED
 DASH FOR THE SEA
dContinucd from Page oue,

wireless from recording the time of the Eitel's departure -or sending any informa- lion concerning her. for fear belligerent cruisers at sea might pick up such mes sases and afford Germany a ground for complaint ot violation of neutrality.
 II was intimated Rear Admiral Beatty al Norfolk and the commander of the American ships on guard near Newport News had instructions to send nothing by wireless concerning the Eite unless d situation arose requiring advice from Washington.
 That precaution was taken, it was re- ported to prevent any messages what soever being sent to the navy depart ment so that no blame could be imposed en the American government if the Eitels break for liberty was unsuccessful.
 Navy and state department officials in- dicated they probably would not comment on the Eitels movements until at least A hours had elapsed after her departure. although any announcement as to intern fnent would be made instantly. The ex- tensive preparations made by the Eitel for another cruise have confused naval officers here in their speculations as to what the Eitel really will do but the opinion still prevails with most of them that the vessel probably will be interned as soon as her time limit for repairs has expired

Philadelphia, April S-Nineteen inches of snow fell in Philadelphia in 12 hours today, breaking all records for such a period in the history of the local weather bureau.

Ten years ago today the congregation of St. Andrews mission worshipped for the first time in their own church building, which was d little frame structure, seat ing about 100 people. Today the consrega- tion will worship for the first time in a beautiful new brown stone church, which has been erected at a cost of much self sacrifice on their part and will seat about 5O. The history of St. Andrews church is remarkable in church annals and full of interest.
 Tn October. 1902, the Rev. John G. Mur- ray. now bishop of the diocese of Mary land, then the rector of the Church of the Advent, established a Sunday school In the private schoolhouse of Miss Adele Shaw on Fourteenth street. near Avenue K. south. Dr. Murray placed Thomas $. Forbes in charge as superintendent, and with the assistance of Miss Shaw opened the Sunday school with 20 children in att tendance. The school grew rapidly and in response to the call for more workers the Brotherhood of St. Andrew sent teach CTS to the school. The spirit of service characterized the work of the founders of St Andrews from the beginning and when the time came to select a name for the Sunday school none seemed so ap-
 
 splendid work accomplished by the men of that brotherhood.
 As the Sunday school grew the need of a mission became apparent and the Rev. Raimundo DeOvies. then rector of St. Johns at Ensey, was invited to preach to the faithful few in the little schoolhouse. He gave of his time to the movement and the mission was estab- lished. Mr. DeOvies met with encourage ment not only from churchmen, but people of other denominations in the neighbour l hood and a movement was begun to raise | funds with which to purchase suitable 1 lot and to erect a building thereon. The | effort was successful and lot was pur. chased on Central street and Eleyenti avenue south, upon which was erected a small church building.
 ] The services of Mir. DeOvies were ell | gagged and he became minister in charge | of the mission in connection with his worl at Ensley. Under his able ministry tht congregation grew apace and it was de l cided to organize the mission into { parish. This was carried into effect anc in 1905 St. Andrews was admitted into 1 the diocese as parish.
 l The first vestry was elected and con sisted of the following. James H i Fowlkes, senior warden; Thomas $ l Forbes, junior warden; J. C. Motley, sec l retary: J. D. Oliver treasurer, C. J l w. N. Kant, vestrymen.
 The membership consisted of 6l com municants.
 The Rev MT. deOvies was called to b, l rector June 5, 1905. He accepted the cai 1 and remained rector until January l, 1912 During his ministry the congregation | grew in numbers and interest. An addi l tional building was erected as a parisl ! house, and a rectory was purchased ad | joining the church property. When MT deOvies resigned there were 200 registered
