UP The JAMES
Captain of Wilhelm Prepares to
Enter Dry Dock.
Story of the Sinking of the
Steamer Bellevue.

Newport News, April 14.-Expect-
ing permission from the Washington
authorities to move in dry dock at
the shipyard here, Captain Theirfel-
der, commander of the German COM
merce raider Kronprinz Wilhelm, ear
ly today ordered the vessel maze rea-
dy to proceed up the James river
from her anchorage. The commander
also was expecting the examining
board OF the United States navy to
reach here from Norfolk to decide
upon the repairs necessary to make
the Wilhelm SeawOrthy-
Prepa rations to receive the cruiser
in dry dock were made at the ship
yard. Officers of the company were
init the vessel to enter until authority
is granted from Washington me
German comma nder did not complete
his inquiry into the nationality of
members of the Wilhelm'S crew last
night as requested by Collector Hanil-
ton, but promised to ascertain today
whether any naturalized Americans
are aboard the ship. At least one
American is believed to belong to the
crew.
Sinking of the Bellevue.
Details of the sinking of the British
steamship Bellevue. one of the Will
helms fourteen victims, were related
today by members of the crew, reveal
ing that the British ship was held as
prize for sixteen days before she was
sent to the bottom. The Bellevue was
bound from Liverpool to South
American ports with 1000 tons of coal
and 1000 cases of whisky, when she
was captured by the Wilhelm Decem-
Der a last She was mOOred to the
Wilhelm with strong cables and the
work of stripping began. The cargo
was taken aboard the commerce de-
stroyer and then the Germans began
stripping the engine room of copper
and brass fittings and anything else
that might be of value in the rover's
South Atlantic operations.
For days the Bellevue would be tied
up to the Wilhelm and at night the
German cruiser would stand by the
merchantmen with a prize crew on
board. when the Mont Agel was
sighted, the Bellevue was left in
charge of the prize crew, while the
Kronprinz Wilhelm gave chase and
finally sank the French ship by ram
ming.
On December 20, after the Bellevue
had been stripped of everything of the
least value, all movable parts were Sc
curely dashed down, in order that
nothing might be left floating upon
the surface to give the British cruis-
ers a clew as to the Wiihelm's where
abouts, and the British merchantmen
was sunk.

THAT PRECIOUS BELL.
Ancient Relic May Be Sent to the
Panama Show.

Philadelphia, April IA de-
termined effort will be made at to-
morrows meeting of city councils to
bring about the passage of an Ordf-
nance permitting the removal of the
historic Liberty Bell from it's shrine
in Independence hall to the Pennsyl
vania building at the San Francisco
be exhibited until the close of the
fair. Mayor Blankenburg and lead
ers in councils favor the movement
and are willing to see the necessary
money appropriated for expenses of
the trip.
Heretofore the proposition has been
opposed mainly by patriotic orders
and by bodies of women who fear that
the precious relic might be destroyed
in railroad wreck or some other &C
cident- Now those favoring the exhi-
bition of the bell in the far western
city have obtained the support of Ad-
miral Dewey and General Miles and
the influence of these distinguished
officers is being felt so strongly that
there is little doubt that the bell will
be permitted to go away, properly
guarded by Philadelphia policemen.
Admiral Dewey and General Miles
Europe this is a good time to stir up
patriotic sentiment among the peo-
pie of this country and that nothing
would have a greater influence in this
direction than a trip across the CONT
nent of the bell which proclaimed lib
erty throughout the land 139 years
ago.
The details OF the amount of money
needed for the expenses and the date
on which the revered piece of bronze
is TO be started on its journey remain
to be settled.

STRONG AND ACTIVE.
Advance in stock Is Led by Bethle-
hem Steel.

New York, April 15.-Bethlehem
Steel was again in the foreground at
the opening, of today,s strong and very
active stock mayket. 1t opened with
a sale of one thousand shares at 1928
to 1919, an overnight gain of four
points from which it rose most
ly in small lots to 40. At that level
it jumped five points to las without
intermediate quotations, than as sud-
denly it fell back in breaks of l to 3
points to 100, all within the first half
hour.
Elsewhere the market manifested
general strength with increased specu-
lative inquiry. Metal shares, motors
and some of the leaders rose from to
points
Dealings in the first hour amounted
to $4,000 shares. of which Bethle-
hem steel contributed a relatively
small quota. The stock recovered
from 100 to 135 by IL O'Clock, by
which time it ceased to exercise any
influence as a market factor.
Seasoned issued were again taken
in hand, some rising to level above
last Saturday higher Reading and
y. s. steel were the most notable ex-
captions to this tendency.

United Mine Workers in charge of the
east Ohio strike, estimated today that
IS miles of fence have been built by
strikers in the last two weeks around
the community gardens the union is
establishing to provide vegeta bles for
the men and their families.
The department of agriculture, it
was learned, could not supply them
with free seeds and appeals were
made to wholesalers in Pittsburg,
Cleveland and Chicago. with the result
that about 5000 acres will be planted

Wall ST., New York, April 14-STOCKS-
1t was estimated that 100000 shares
changed hands during the morning. Beth
lehem Steel became increasingly inactive
after the first hour, recovering six points
from it's decline to 40 only to fall back
again. Business broadened with the
progress of the session until it compre
hended even the most inactive issues. The
short interest was again driven to cover
and particularly in United States Steel
and Copppers. Realizing sales, which
checked the advance by midday, Union
Pacific, Reading, United States Steel and
were general among professional traders
Coppers falling back a point.
Bonds were irregular.
Bethlehem Steel was again the disturbing
feature today's stock market, opening
with a sale of thousand shares at lbs
to 129 against yesterdays final price of
lbs. The stock steadily assembled to 40,
then making a five point jump to 145. an
advance of 20 points in less than ten
even more speedily to 100. losing y of its
pyrotechnic rise. The balance of the list
was strong but orderly, Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and the Coppers rising
from 1 to almost 8 points with further
substantial gains in Automobile ssheres.
Trading was active during the first half
hour and embraced all varieties of issues.

a result of large export sales said to

After opening sc to 1Ac higher, prices un-
derwent a reaction and then again took
the up grade.
Extraordinary additional strength de-
veloped later owing to signs of great ex-
pansion of European demand sensational
jump of nearly 10 cents a bushel in the
price of Durum wheat at Duluth had much
