GERMAN SHIP
MAY Be FORCED
7 Q REMAIN IN
THE j. s. PORT
PRESIDENT WILSON is TOLD
THAT THE GERMAN CAP
TAIN WILL NOT LEAVE.
FRYE SINKING is UP.

WASHINGTON, March 12--Confi.
dental reports to officials here on the
! condition of the German auxiliary
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich in dry
dock at Newport News, seem to make
it certain she will be forced to intern.
Assistant Secretary Peters, of the
treasury department. told President
Wilson today he expected the Ger
man commander would not venture
to sea again Mr. Peters said his re.
ports from Newport News showed the
Prin2 Eitcl to be in very bad condi-
tion, utterly unfit for the sea
After his conversation with the
president Mr.. Peters talked with
Captain Kiehne, of the William p.
Frye. over the telephone and directed
him to get sworn statements from as
many Of the Frye's crew as possible.
The president directed Mr.. Peters to
make a thorough investigation of the
sinking of the Frye by the Prinz
Eitel.
Captain Kiehne is expected in Wash
ington tomorrow to confer with Mr..
Peters and Counsellor Lansing. A
sworn statement will be taken of all
the incidents connected with the
sinking of the Frye
Administration officials believe the
German government cannot refuse to
make full reparaton for loss of the
hull and cargo of the Frye Out of
the sum expected to be paid by the
German government the American
government would be reimbursed to
the amount of the .oiicy on the hull
written by the war risk insurance
bureau
Three questions raised by the de-
struction Of the American sailing yes
sci William p. Frye by the German
converted cruiser Frinz Eitel Fried
rich and the entry of the latter YES
sci into an American port for repairs
still were to be determined today by
the United States government They
are what action should be taken on ac-
count of the sinking OF the Frye, the
length Of time to be allowed the PrinZ
Eitel to make repairs at Newport
News, and the disposition of her pris-
oners. Pending the completion of an
inquiry into the case, however, no de
cision of any of the questions in
volved was expected
II has been decided that unless the
German government offers to make
reparation for the sinking of the
American ship and expresses regret
for the occurrence, strong protest will
be made by the American government
and claim presented for damages.
Officials here are unanimously of the
opinion that the German captain had
no right to sink the Frye. 1t was
thought likely that the German gov
ernment, after being acquainted with
the facts, would admit the mistake of
the German commander and make
reparaton.

would be made pending receipt of fur
ther details from the Brazilian minis
ter. He said full investigation would
| be made. The incident was regarded
seriously at the White House.
After a conference between Presi-
| dent Wilson and the cabinet a formal
demand was sent to General Salazar,
insisting that the Zapata troops guilty
! of the murder of N3cManus be pun
ished and that adequate preparation
be made to McManus' family.
! Official dispatches received in dip
| lomatic quarters from other legations
in Mexico City said one British house
was looted and 100 persons were in
jured in the disorder which prevailed
between the evacuation of Obregon
and the entry of the Zapata troops
| The demand was transmitted in a
| telegram sent by Secretary Bryan to
the Brazilian minister in Mexico City
that the state department approved
the informal action of the Brazilian
minister in asking for the punishment
of the troopers and instructed him to
/ lllSlSI lldI II Dt CdIIItu llIO 6lleCI.
| High officials did not expect the af-
| fair would develop further complica-
tions of an international character.
| They were inclined to the view that
the killing of one american in what
may have been a personal contro-
versy in which motives of revenge
were involved did not mean necessari-
| ly that all American or other foreign
ers would be endangered. The last dis
patch from the Brazilian minister un-
! der date of pm. yesterday said the
| Zapata troops entered the city in a
| body at 8 am. in perfect order, and
were received with enthusiasm by the
population of all classes.
! Immediately General Salazar, the
post commander, expressed his appre-
citation to the diplomatic corps for
their efforts to save the city from
famine and promisec protection to
the lives and porperty of foreigners
and to transportation facilities to
bring in food.
The International relief committee
to which General Obregon refused
transportation facilities to obtain sup
plies, then re-assembled and General
| Salazar, arranged to have one of his
representatives cooperate with them.
That, it was believed, will solve the
| food problem.
The Brazilian minister's latest dis
patch seemed to establish that Nc
Manus had been shot before the main
body of Zapata troops entered. 1t
was supposed the troops who attacked
McManus' house were an advance
party, probably detached from their
| commander.
The Brazilian minister reported
that Obregon, evidently impressed
with the tenor of the American note.

PLOT HAD BEEN MADE
TO BLOW ATLANTA SAFES

ATLANTA, March PA plot to
dynamite the safes of a number of
large Atlanta business concerns was
overheard early yesterday morning by
f. P. Jones, nightwatchman of the
WOodside Warehouse company, who's :
warehouse was robbed a few nights
ago of 200 in cash. Jones heard a
noise in an alley back of the ware
house and tip-toed to a window and
listened. He heard the voices of sew
eral men and coul0 dimly see them
through the window. He caught the
trend of their conversation and heard
number of firms mentioned. Then
he called the police, but when they

NOT TO INTERN PRINZ
EITEL UNLESS NECESSARY

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 12.-
American naval and ship building ex-
perts were inspecting the German aux
iliary cruiser PrinZ Eitel Friedrich
today to determine what repairs were
necessary to make tne vessel seawor-
thy On their report depended how
long the PrinZ Eitel would be allowed
to remain in this port. Captain THE
richsen had said the cruiser could be
made seawOrthy within week but
many weeks he said would be required
to put the vessel in good condition.
The Prinz Eitel went into dry dock
here yesterday and the captain had
submitted to Collector of the Port
Hamilton a report on the time he
thought would be required to repair
his ship. At the same time he sub
mitted a statement on the sinking
of the American sailing vessel Will
liam p. Frye, sent to the bottom by
the cruiser in the South Atlantic.
These statements were sent to the
Washington authorities. The captain
has been quoted as saying that he
sank the American ship because he
regarded her cargo as contraband.
Captain Thierichsen declares that he
does not wish to intern his vessel and
that he will be ready to proceed on an
other raiding expedition AZ soon as
the cruiser can sail.

strong resolutiors urging the associa
