Newport News. Va. March 13.-Five
British cruisers and possibly more are
lurking off the Virginia capes to sink
the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich when she leaves port.
This was definitely esta bIished to-
day when the AngIo-Patagonian. a
British steamer. arrived here to take
on a cargo of horses for England.
Members of her crew stated that as the
steamer passed through the capes last
night she Travelled through a lane of
British warships. They were able to
count five warships. but they believe
there were others they could not see
because of the darkness.
The report of the Anglo-Patagon-
ian's crew was confirmed by Capt
Downs of the oil tank steamer Ard

gonian into port

ing on their oars and permitting the
newspapers to dig up evidence for
them, il became known today that at.
torneys for Mrs. Florence Weeks Mayo
have been in secret conference with Vir-
ginius J. Mayo, whom she claims de-
serted her years ago.
The mysterious trip taken yesterday by
Frederick Scott. an assistant in the Office
of former Judge J. ". Carpenter. Mrs.
Mayos attorney, became still more mys-
FERROUS today when Scott returned and
smilingly refused to admit he had been
to New Haven and had seen Mayo.
A local newspaper with a reputation
for accuracy came out with an extra this
afternoon. giving details of an alleged
meeting in New Haven between Mayo
and the legal representative of the Scran-
ton woman.
The meeting was dramatic Mayo, ac-
cording to the newspaper. wept copiously
and said he was worried half to death
by the Scranton woman's claim against
him on behalf of herself and her three
daughters"
Mayo seemed to be breaking under the
strain of the revelations that have fol-
lowed the pitiful death Of pretty Lillian
Cook, the report says. He made no prom

ted that Mrs. Florence Weeks Mayo was
married to him as she alleges on May
II, 1890. in Binghamton. N. Y.
Scott learned many things about the
financial social. and business affairs of
Mr.. Mayo" the account asserts. He
learned absolutely that the first wife of
Mayo was dead before his marriage to
Miss Weeks took place and that there
Is not the least question that the mar
rage to the Scranton woman was legal
in every particular.
TT Is understood Attorney Scott
learned also in New Haven that Mayo
Is not a millionaire: that he has no
more than $4,000 in cash. but that
his radiator business is hourishing.
New Haven, March 13.-Virginius ].
Mayo reappeared in New Haven this
morning after a mysterious absence
and held a two-hour conference with
his personal attorney. Benjamin Slade.
Neither the lawyer or the manufac-
turer would make a statement con-
corning the promiscuous heart ahairs
of Mayo.
Prosecutor F. Raymond Rockford. Of
Hamden Township. in which the Mayo
residence and factory are located, has
not yet received a formal complaint
upon which action can be based.
IF either Mrs. Florence Weeks Mayo.

claim as husband I will Immediately
take such action as the facts justify,

JAP CHANGES HIS MIND
 WHEN BROUGHT TO COURT
Young Celestial Pleads Guilty in Justice Court But Has Hszy Idea
 That He Is Not Guilty

P. Yama, the young Jap who made such a murderous attack on aged Chinamln in the latter's store Thurs clay night was arraigned in Justice Parkers court yesterday morning and pleaded guilty.
 Later when brought into the su- perior court to receive sentence, he seemed to be at a loss what to do. Two countrymen of his were obtained to interpret for him, but their know ledge of English was considerably limited and both the court and pro- scouting attorney hardly knew what to do.
 He seemed to labor under the inn pression that he was being charged with a hold-up, and to his celestial mind this augured something stiffer in the line of a sentence than the mere breaking into a building.
 He changed his plea and asked for a jury trial. Judge Stanford ap- pointed Attorneys Cunningham and Ford to represent him.
 In the morning, Wong Fuen, much the worse for wear and the blows landed on him by the young Jap, came to the county jail and posi- lively identified Yama as his assail- ant. For the sake of his personal safety. and to be sure that fair play would be indulged in, Fuen was ac- companied by ten or fifteen of his
