PRINZ EITEL WAITING MOVE EXPECTED SOON

Thiericliens Said to Be Seeking U. S. Protection Within Three-Mile Limit Before Starting.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va„ March 29.— The German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich still lay at her dock today, apparently no more prepared to make a dash for sea than at any other time during the last week, but the activities all around her convinced local officials that some definite step soon would be taken either to intern the raider or send her out.

The elusive report current in army and navy circles, that Commander Thierichens was ready to go, but awaited assurances that the United States would protect him within the three mile limit from hostile cruisers blocking every lane out past the Virginia capes, would not down.

Other than two torpedo boats and one submarine, daylight disclosed no other American ships in these waters although battleships were reported throughout the night gathering to protect American neutrality.

The time limit of the Eitel's stay •was still an official secret but there was a well defined report that it expires within the next 48 hours. One report that the Eitel will be towed to New York within the three-mile limit is taken seriously by officials who believe her draft, even though now light, would not permit her to navigate so close to the shores.

ALABAMA TAKES STATION.

Battleship Equipped for Any Eventulo ality Starts for Hampton Roads.

PHILADELPHIA March 29.—The battleship Alabama, which was given hurry orders Saturday night to sail to Hampton Roads to enforce American neutrality, left the Philadelphia navy yard at 9 a. m. today. The battleship is well stocked with provisions and has aboard a large supply of ammunition and coal.

The Alabama was in reserve when the order came and had on board only skeleton crew. This necessitated the drafting of men from the battleships Kentucky. Kearsarge, Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin.

The navy yard made a record in getting the Alabama away. When the order came Saturday many of the officers and enlisted men were on shore leave. The Philadelphia police assisted in notifying those off duty and In Vetting -workmen to the yard on Sunday to help make the ship ready for sea.

MIL MERCHANTS IN OBERMAN STORE SUIT

Continued From Page One.

there in getting settled, finally signing a bond that he would stay a year. We learned that he did not say his year, jumped his bond and moved out of town over night."

On cross-examination by Attorney Price, Hall admitted that he did not know whether the Oberman in the Evansville case was the defendant in the Terre Haute case or his brother.

A. R. Seewald, president of the Merchants' association, said that it was through the Terre Haute Star that Oberman signed his lease. He said that none of the Terre Haute papers would accept Oberman's ads until the Star management finally persuaded him to sign a longer lease and accepted his ads. He said that as far as he knew none of the other papers took the ads.

Some question was brought up during the examination of Mr. Seewald as to the validity of the J. B. Walsh "Syndicate Sales" which it was said are frequently advertised and Mr. Seewald stated that the Walsh store was a member of a syndicate of shoe stores and that the sales were perfectly legitimate. He said that if any member of the association should do the same thing Oberman is charged with doing, he would be prosecuted also.

Oberman's Story.'

Mr. Oberman testified that he bought the stock of Sam Goodman on Dec. 29, 1914, and that on Jan. 18, 1915, he signed a lease with Mr. White, owner of the building, for eighteen months additional to the six months he already held from Mr. Goodman's lease. He said Mr. Goodman's lease holds good until June 1. He said he bought the stock of the Bradley Clothing company, of Effingham, 111., on Dec. 25 or 26 and that it is that stock which is now being offered for sale as bankrupt stock.

A number of Wabash avenue merchants were present in the court room, many of whom were not called as witnesses. Among them were Carl Woll*, Sam Goodman, Mr. Cadden of the Ne wmarket, Mr. Goodman, of Goodman & Sons, and others.

Price, who was the subject of charges that he was using a threat to file suit against owners of property used for questionable purposes as a means of extorting money from the women of the redllght, announced Monday that he had served notice upon Don M. Nixon, publisher of a weekly paper, to either retract the article published about him in the last issue of the paper or face a suit for libel. The article mentioned in the notice charges Price with demanding "protection money" from the women of the redlight. "Unless the article is retracted I am going to file suit for $5,000 danqages," said Mr. Price Monday.
