The dTys already feel confident of
dry national committeeman from
most OF the southern states. The big
Fight will be in Ohio. Indiana. Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, and pos
gibly Pennsylvania Bryan is expected
10 take the stump in such states as
have advisory primaries. 1t IL ex-
pected he will make an especial drive
against Indiana and Illinois. controf-
respectively by Tom TaSSar and
Roger Sullivan
With the national committee dry,
the anti-liquor democrats feel conf
dent they could write prohibition
plank into the 1920 national platform,
swallowing the prohibition party.
Wet leaders admit they believe this
is the program and say everything
possible will be done to defeat it.
Bryan refused point blank to outline
his plans today. He said that where
ever the liquor question was an is
sue, he believed the national COM
mittsenan should represent the major
fly: in general he considered the ma
tority was dry. Asked specifically
about Illinois and Indiana, he said:
Il will Discuss each state only as 1t

Penitentiary Sentence Of One Year
May be imposed for the
Person Who Takss

MAY PROSECUTE. HERE !.
Owners Of The Machine Used on the
JOY Ride Here, Says He
Intends to Prosecute
the Driver.

That joy riding in some other per-
sons automobile may cost penlten
tiary sentence is a provision of the
Iowa law that seems unknown 10
many chauffeurs in this city II the
number Of these rides reported recent
" can be taken as an indication. The
code provides for a sentence of not to
exceed one year in the penitentiary
or of not to exceed six months in jail,
or OF q fine not to exceed 5000.
The Sage automobile, the Decker
automobile and nevaral others have
been used in the last few weeks for
Joy rides, according to reports that
have been received at the police sta
ton and by other local authorities.
1t was stated by the owner OF one
of these machines today that he Will
start prosecution against the man who
took his automobile, within short
time.
The law regarding this question.
comes under section 1923 of the Iowa
code and was passed by the thirty.
fifth general assembly. Here Is an
extract from this act which applies
particularly to joy riding:
III any chauffeur or other
person shall, without the consent
of the owner, take, or cause to be
taken any automobile or motor
vehicle and operate or drive or
cause to be operated or driven. he
shall be imprisoned In the peni-
tentIary not to exceed one year.
or be imprisoned IN the county
jail not to exceed six months, or
to be fined not to exceed $500"
This section comes under the head
ing regarding malicious mischief. and
trespass and is not considered larceny
since the real intent OF the joy rider
is not larceny. The same section
makes provision for punishment OF
those who take other vehicles for use
without the knowledge and consent
of the owner.

German Cruiser Will Intern in
America Until the Great
War Comes to an
End
SHE RAN A GOOD BLUFF
Commander Had the Enemy Guessing
Up to the Last Minutes by
Apparent Preparations
to Sail.

| WASHINGTON, April S.-The Ger
man converted cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich was today scheduled for
lher last cruise OF the present WAL
the trip from her dock at NEWPORT
News, following her interment Wed
inesday night. to the Narfolk navy
yard. The EiteI had been at Newport
News since March 10, when she made
port, badly crippled, and asked Per
mission to repair.
Official Washington generally ex-
pressed the conviction that<Command-
er Thierichens of the Eitel was
simply ''blufang' to the very last
that is the Eitel never expected to
leave port until the end of the war
and that her real purpose all along
was to intern BY keeping up an APP
Ipearance OF preparedness To leave,
however, the British and French war
vessels on guard outside the capes
were kept from leaving and the allies
were deprived of their service else
where.
Omcial notice OF the EiteTs inter-
ment was made TO Port Collector
Hamilton when he boarded the vessel
Ito inform Thierichens that his stay in
lport must end at midnight.
What the German in his notice OF
interment meant by the failure OF
relief expected" to reach him, of-
ficials could not explain unless he
looked for German fotilla OF some
sort, to give battle to the allied war
ships OF the capes. 1t was believed
here, however. that it was his inte1-
ton from the first, to intern at the
end OF the time limit
Actual interment was arranged at
"a conference between Rear Admiral
Beatty. commandant of the Norfolk
navy yard, Rear Admiral Helm, Of the
battleship Alabama and Collector
Hamilton.

instructions from the navy depart

made of the craft.
Admiral Helm OF the warship Ala

for the desired information. Until it
reached here, the Eitel was ordered
to remain in its present position.

virtue of his command Of the Atlantic

department. Commander Thierichens
of the Efte1 today surrendered to
Commander McCracken of the naval

German Converted Cruiser After
Thrilling Experiences Slips Past
Hostile Fleet Into American
Port Sunday.

Newport News, Va.-The German
converted cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm
the elusive raider of commerce in the
South Atlantic, slipped into this port
Sunday and asked for fuel and pro-
visions.
Many times reported destroyed, the
former North German Lloyd liner had
evaded hostile warships for eight
months, while she sent IA merchant
men to the bottom. Her officers said
she was forced to steal her way past
four allied cruisers off the Virginia
Capes to reach this refuge.
I'VE got in without being seen by
the enemy and we can get out the
same way" declared her commander,
Lieutenant Captain Paul Thierfelder,
formerly navigating officer of the Ger
man cruiser Karlsruhe, in statement
Sunday.
When she dropped anchor, the Kron.
Prinz Wilhelm had less than 25 tons
of coal and scanty provisions for the
crew of 500 men and 81 prisoners
from British merchant ships sunk in
the south Atlantic.
OF the IA ships that the $4,000 ton
cruiser sank, nine were British, four
French and one Norwegian. The
value of these ships and their car
goes, officers of the Wilhelm estimat-
ed at $7000,0O0.
When the Wilhelm arrived off
Thimble shoals, after passing in the
Virginia capes early Sunday, two Uni
ted States submarines, the GIL and
DIP met her. The appearance of the
submarines created considerable sur
prise among the crew, but there was
no demonstration as the little vessels
conveyed the German raider to quar-
antine, where Dr. Maccafferty, United
States quarantine officer, boarded her.
Commander Thierfelder reported &C
of the crew and prisoners were i'll
with beri-beri and requested that they
be taken to a hospital.
The Wilhelm followed in the wake
OF the interned Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
which arrived here a month ago, after
thrilling and effective operations for
the German arms.
