Many Rumors That Vessel IS Prepar.
mo 20 Leave Port.

Washington Rumors from New
port News reached Washington that
the Prnz Eitel Friedrich. the German
sea raider. docked there for repairs
after her commerce destroying cruise
was preparing to depart One report
said the cruiser actually had left her
dock at tho shipyard and was putting
out TO sea TO escape or bid defiance
to British end French warships patrol
Ing beyond the Virginia capes.
All these stories we're proved
groundless. however, as tho Prinz
Eitel was at her dock and repair work
was said stu to be in progress The
immigrant passengers aboard the ship
were removed ard this fact together
with a growing belief that the time
limit allowed the ship for remaining
in port is drawing near probably gave
rise to the reports.

RAILROAD WATER TANK FALLS
City Of Hampton Has Combination
Earthquake and FIood-Depot
Waiting Room Flooded.

Hampton.-"Am I Dreaming or do
my eyes deceive me?" were the
thoughts of loiterer near the Min
neapolis & st. Louis station when he
actually saw the big railroad tank
from which water Is drawn for the
locomotives, begin to tip over toward
him, the supports give way and the
whole come crashing down. in the.
falling a box car was also wrecked.
So far as known no one was hurt,
but had 1t happened at other hours
when many are in the vicinity, some
injuries would have resulted.
Wreckage was strewn all about the
station and to distance of hax .
block to the east. A baggage truck
standing on the platform was forced
against the freight room door and the
doors broken down. the truck over
turned and one wheel wrecked. Dirty
water was thrown clear across tn
waiting room, flooding It, and the
grass plat was also flooded. The in
take of the railroad pumping station
is near the waste of the gas works.
The greasy water Is drawn in and
this was distributed literally over, ev-
erything in the vicinity.
The big tank was about twenty
feet in length and perhaps eighteen
feet across, and contained several
thousand gallons Of water.
