The horse-power of the two engines the ship at a higher rate of speed than the ordinary tramp steamer. In th engine room of the vessel is a completely outfitted machine shop, which can be utilized to remedy any ordinary broken part. The steamer is electrically lighted ar.d is equippeu witn a wireless outnt. 1 There is also a refrigerating plant on the steamer which furnishes ice at all times, i he quarters oi tne omcers and crew are probably the neatest of any freighter ever seen in this port, i he mess caDin and tne ganey are the personification of neatness. There are five hatches on the vessel to facilitate quick loading and unload ing. Each of the hatches are served bv one or more modern steam winches which when skillfully operated- are capable of hoisting the cargo of the vessel from the hold at a fast rate. GIVEN ROAD SENTENCE. Hccj Thief Sent to the Roads for Half Year Other Cases. Rui'us Howe, colored, was sentenced to serve six months on the county roads this morning in Recorder's Court following his conviction on a charge of stealing a hog from Mr. "W. H. Meares. Howe stoutly denied that he stole the hog, but admitted that he was trying to sell it for another negro. He gave notice of appeal, but later de rided to serve the sentence and not risk the Superior Court. The alleged theft was committed on Eagles Is land. K. D. Dixon, colored, was-given an opportunity of paying a fine of $10 and costs for assault with a deadly weap on or going to the roads for two months. He took the latter. Ben Chadwick and Charlie Marine, white, were taxed with the costs for an as sault and battery, as was William Fuller, colored.

Recently Miss jwy had .to go to the far north, where ' heavy ccat wa3 the sole comfort the trip, and she was posing among 'J'vfs, dogs aud mountain lions. v ll Fritz Hanson Determined to Keep His Engagement With Bull Montana ; "I may have to buy this automo bile," said Fritz Hanson aa h poked his head in The Dispatch office ! at 9:40 o'clock this morning, "but I'm going to Columbia and meet "Bull" Montana if there is any possible way of reaching that, city between now and 8 o'clock tonight. , I missed my train, but tjbat was not Montana's fault. I wouldn't have had this thing" happen for $50," continued the wrest ler. , ,f r . , . . .;, "But you won't he in any shape after riding all day in an automobile," was the information thrown back at Hanson. "I can't help , that," declared the wrestler; "I agreed to meet Mon tana tonight and I am starting for Columbia this morning regardless of my physical 'condition when I ar rive." That was the last seen of Hanson by the local staff of The Dispatch, but it is an even bet that he will land in Columbia in time for tonfght's match and that the Columbia State will tell in the morning just how eas ily he handled Montana. Mr. Hanson said a few uncompli mentary things about theeourtesies shown him at the depot when he ar rived there this morning breathless ly, but found his train standing, un der the shed only to have the gate shut slowly in his fape. Hanson says he stood there powerless to act while he watched the only train that would put him in Columbia for to night's match move slowly up the track and finally disappear in the" dis tance. The wrestler is confident that he could have boarded the train with out any hurry had he been permitted to pass through the gate. , Hanson is due to meet Montana in Columbia tonight and will clash with he of the fearful name provided the Cadillac that carried him out of the city stands up under the 200-mile course she must go over. The start was not made until 9:45 O'clock, which means that the wrestler has none too much time. Before leaving Hanson stated that he had aroanged for a match between John Kjlones and, Ludwig Ress on Friday night and because Kilones is known to the sporting element here and because Ress demonstrated the fact that he is a real wrestler, the match should draw handsomely. When Referee Wade announced last Friday night that the winner of the match would be pitted against either Kilones or Montana the crowd cried for Montana, but Hanson was un able to bring the Bull here just now, although an effort was made to do so. Kilones announced his willingness to come and the match will be staged in Woolvin Hall Friday night at 8:3W o'clock. Mat fans, regardless of how long they - have been following the game, have a treat in store for them if they have not seen Ress in action. They will see a man who can take any amount of punishment and smile and who signals for release from any hold yet attempted on him here with a mere grunt and a surge of 178 pounds of bone and sinew. Yes, Ress is well worth going to see. THE GUNNER EXPLAINS. Tells Why He Did Not Reach the City Last Friday Night. In a dispatch to The Dispatch Gun ner McGurley expresses his regrets because of his inability to officiate at the Schmidt-Ress wrestling match of last Friday night and adds that he was not notified early enough to permit his acceptance. The gunner declares that refereeing matches is a pleasant task and that he will make an effort to accept all such offers if notified early enough. One day in advance is all the time the gunner ,asks and de clares that he would spare no effort to be present when billed to officiate under such conditions. WILL UNDERGO REPAIRS. Torpedo Boa Foote Docked at , Southport Late Yesterday. The torpedo boat Foote, en route from New Bern to Charleston, under command of. Lieutenant-Commander Paul U Holland, of the North Caro lina NavaL Militia, put in at the gov ernment dock at Southport yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Fisher men at Wrightsville saw. the craft as she passed h eight miles out. She cleared for Charleston early this morning, where Nghe. will, undergo ex tensive; repairs- Twenty-two militia men composed; her crew. ). The craft left New Bern 'at ii o'clock Saturday morning andpwtita..t:putliport yes terday afternoon. - WAR EARNINGS OF THE KRUPP WORKERS Essex, Germany, Nov. 20. The war time eiiinf$f; the employes of Krupp are indicated by their savings in the bank established for them by the firm. For the fiscal year 1915-16 the number - of ' depositors in the Krupp savings institution increased by the record-breaking figure of 8,983, and their deposits by 4,865,602 marks. That brings the total number of de positors up to 31,897 and the total savings up to 12,864,983 marks. The number of savers. thus is nearly one half of "the number of persons em ployed by Kfapp, and three-fourths of the number employed at about the beginning fcf the fiscal year for which the figures are taken. . .; i JUBILEE SERVICE HELD YESTERDAY Yoke Fellpws Band Celebrate in Honor of Empty Prison Cells Long Service Jubilee services, in honor of emi cells, were held in the County Jail yesterday morning under the aus pices of the Yoke Fellows Band and those in attendance thanked him from whom all blessings flow for an empty jail for once in the history of the penal institution. Of course, the jail will - not remain empty no one expects such a miracle but there was every reason why 'those earnest Yoke Fellows should celebrate. They have been going to the jail regularly each Sunday -morning for the past eight years and yesterday was the first timeit was possible to hold ju - service. Those participating in the services were: Messrs. Herbert E. O'Ke'ef, J. B. Brinkley, E. B. Johnson and J. K. Bruff, all members of the Yoke Fel lows Band. Jailer Branch ... and a cousin, Mr. Jordan Branch, were present. The services were of an hour and a half duration and were thoroughly enjoyed. ""The Dispatch called attention to I ; ' V T": urday afternoon for the first time, in the history of the institution. Tnis oldest residents., of town and none , v , , , , have found cause to dispute the as- .. . e .. sertion. The information was not guaranteed as simon-pure and non contradictable, yet the fact that it Viae -nrtt haon HicnntoH is oviHoncp ., . . . . is vitally interested in that question that Saturday afternoon was the first,. " - J ... . . . time in the history of the county that the jail had been entirely empty of prisoners. Another noticeable thing is that the last prisoner had his freedom re stored at a time when it was unlike ly that new ones would be committed ! at once. - It came about after Re- corder's court ; had adjourned and it ! is not customary to commit prison ers to jail on Sunday. Of course, had one been arrested charged with a crime of "more .than ordinary violence it might have " been, considered nec- fessary to; place mm m . jail ratner than thecity lockup for safekeeping, but this did not occur and the jail remained empty over Sunday. The writer remembers reading an article months ago that gave the startling information that the jaiL in j a little town out West had been torn i doWn because it was never used, and while, it is very unlikely thatsuch a condition, will ever exist in New Hanover the fact remains that the jail remained unlocked over . Sunday for the first time in its history. COMING THIS WEEK. Wifmington Steamer Has Trouble In -Shipping Crew in New York. The Camino, the freight steamer re-1 cently purchased by Messrs. Alexan- J der Sprunt & Son, here, is expected j to arrive in port early this week. It J has been stated that the vessel would I have arrived earlier had it not been ' for the fact that trouble was experi enced in shipping an American crew for the big vessel. Sir Wilfrid Laurier 75 Years Old. Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 20. Sir Wilifrid Laurier, former Dominion premier and now leader of the Liberal opposi tion in the House of Commons, re ceived a flood of congratulations to day on the occasion of his 75th birth day anniversary. Sir Wilfrid has been in public life since 1871, in which year, he became a member of the provincial parliament of Quebec. In 1891 he was chosen the Liberal party leader, and in 1696 he became Dominion premier. He was the first French-Canadian sa honored. PLAYER CHANGES COMPANY.

Dr. Alderman will address the Convention on the evening of the opening day. MANY ATTENDED SERVICE. Second Week of Revival at First Baptist Is Under Way. The second week of the revival ser vice that is being conducted at the First Baptist church by the pastor, Rev. Jno. Jeter Hurt, D. D., began last night and the service was attended by an audience that taxed the capa: ,city of the building. The crowd overflowed the main auditorium and into the galleries but despite the fact that so many were present the min ister was given the closest of atten tion. Dr. Hurt preached from the fa vorite Bible story, of the Prodigal Son and his message was eagerly lis tened to by his congregation. Mr Walter E. Rodgers sang a gospel sole that impressed the audience pro foundly. The services will continue, through out the first half of the present week and perhaps through the entire week. Interest in the revival is run ning high and Mr. Rodgers is experi encing no difficulty in persuading the audience to join him in the singing. ANOTHER FIGHT OVER NAVY PLANS Washington, D. C, Nov. 20 All the bureau chiefs of the navy, as well as Secretary Daniels, have been asked to appear at the hearings be gun before the House Committee on Naval Affairs today as a preliminary step toward framing next year's na val appropriation bill. Early indica tions point to another congressional battle over the amount of money to be appropriated for the building of ships. Although many congressmen believed that the 1916 act, with its five-year program and a total of $300, 000,000 and more, was the extreme limit in naval budgets, there is every possibility , that the forthcoming bill may touc hthe $400,000,000 mark. It is expected that the small navy men will put up the same hard fight against the increased appropriation that was made against the prepared ness program in the Sixty-fourth Con gress. . - New York, Nov.' , 20 Sir Robert Borden, prime minister of Canada, accompanied by Lady Borden, has ar rived in. New York to be the guest of honor at the annual dinner, of the Canadian Club at- the Hotel Biltmore. The Canadian Club is an auxiliary to the Canadian Patriotic Relief Fund in taking care of the families of Sana dian soldiers, who have enlisted from New York.
