wind reached a velocity of sixty miles
an hour and the water in Ne use and
Trent rivers rose six feet or more,
flooding the lowlands and causing
much damage. A peculiar fact about
the storm was the accompainment
of vivid lightening and thunder which
was so heavy that many thought the
reverberations were earthquakes. Fri
day night was indeed a memorable
night and will be long remembered
by those in this section.
In New Bern
In New Bern the storm reached its
velocity about midnight and from
that time on until day break it con
tinued unabated. Telephone and
telegraph poles were blown down,
wires broken, tin roofs torn from their
fastenings, windows smashed and in
fact everything that was not securely
fastened down was blown away.
The water in Neuse river rose six
feet and that in Trent river had about
ah equal rise. Practically little dam
age was done right in the city by the
high tide but in nearby towns along
the river the damage is reported as
heavy. i

nnioh of. the town was inundated
while great damage -whs done by the
wind. Down in Beaufort and More
head ity the high tide did consid
erable damage and the wind also
played havoc. Telephone and tele
graph wires were torn down all over
the section. The Western Union
Telegraph Company's lines were de
moralized early in the day and only
a few wires are working tonight.
The Postal Company was ptacti
eally put out of business. The Nor
folk Southern lines are also in bad
'shape.
Poles Down
On ; i lie Oriental division of the
Norfolk- Southern road so many
poles, were down that the operation
of trains on the regular schedule
was impossible but they managed
to get one train through during the
day. On the Beaufort division trains
wen., operated with extreme cafe
Between New Bern and Chocowin
ity and- Raleigh so many poles were
blown down, that trains were delayed
for hours and the schedules were
completely demoralized.
Grave fears are entertained for
the safety of Ocracoke and other iso
lated towns in that section. Those
places are located in the most ex
posed points on the Atlantic coast
and it is feared that damage done
then was much greater than that
in the towns further inland,.
Four Hundred Poles tlown
The Norfolk Southern Railway
Company last night reported that
letween Chocowinity and Raleigh
four hundred of their telegraph poles
had been blown down, many of these
filling across the track. -It addition
to this, trees were uprooted along the
line and many of those foil across the
traok. Que train which left Raleigh

morning they will start out several
crews who will work on the telephone

to have these in working order by
Monday morning.

CAPTAIN OF THE
PR1NZ EITEL HAS
CASE COLD FEET
Looks as Though He's
Scared tp Make Dash
for Open Sea
HAD A GOOD CHANCE
Friday Night Was An Ideal
Tihie for Him to
Get Away
Norfolk, April',3. The German
merchant raider Prinz Eitel Fredrich
last night was ready to go back "to
sea and to brave the danger of at
tack from a fleet of warships of the
AllieB off the Virginia Capes. Wheth
er she will be sent into the fateful
breach or her government submit -to
internment by the United States re
mained a mystery, however as the load
of supplies sufficient for a voyage to
Bremen was stowed away in her hold
under supervision of the American
navy, i
But if her orders are to break for the
open sea, the Eitel Priedrich is well
prepared. Her bunkers are filled with
coal; her storehouse has been replen
ished; her machinery has been repair
ed and keyed up to the maximum
strength; her officers and crew are re
signed to any fate and waiting for the
word.
Receives Visitors
"When I come back I will be glad to
go to your home and dine," said Cap
tain Max Thieriohens, commander of
the Eilel, late yesterday, addressing a
fellow countryman who had' called to
pay his respects. 'And when I come,
let's not have any banquet and
crowds just you and I and some
noodle soup."
The German commander was ad
dressing Henry Kirn of Norfolk coun
ty, Va., who had called with Senator
T. S. Martin, of Virginia; Captain W.
R.Mayo, Mayor of Norfolk, and a par
ty of Virginians as guests of Customs
Collector Norman R. Hamilton. Mr.
Kirn was born in Germany and left
there 63 years ago. Captain TMerich
ens was delighted to see him and chat
ted AifLth him in native tongue for half
When the Elitel had finished taking
t' ' it.i . ll-i l! J 1
on supplies mai originuuy nun oeen
scheduled for delivery Sunday, two
United States tugs-stood guard at her
stern, one representing the navy from
the Norfolk navy yard and the other
representing the army from Portress
Monroe. Coast artillerymen patrolled
her pier and the elements were propi
tious for a dash through the rain and
darkness in an attempt to elude Brit
ish and French battleships which lay
in wait off the Virginia coast.
Late in the day the situation in the
vicinity of the Prinz Eitel was tense.
Every officer and sailor was on board.
Some were permitted to receive friends
on fhe pier. That many of them be
lieved they were going to sea was e vi
de n from their declarations to t heir
visitors. Just when they would be or
dered to go, they claimed not to know,
but all asserted that there was little
time left for the vessel to remain in
American waters unless she should
submitto internment.
Wonted to Enlist
Another circumstance indicating the
uncertainly of the sun was the pres
ence on board the Eitel late in the day
of two German youths who are seeking
to enlist in the German navy. They
were Quartz Beyer , and Hans Roth
who came to Newport News from Ger
many a few months ago. They applied
for enlistment a week ago and Cap
tain Thieriohens ordered them to re
port yesterday. When, asked about
them Captain Thierohens said, he had
not decided what to do because he was
not certain what would be done about
his ship. The bqys, however, were on
hand ready to risk their lives for the
Fatherland should Commander Thier-
ichens say the word.
uovernment omciais. who con
ferred with the German commander
late in the day absolutely declined to
discuss the status of the ship. Collec
tor Hamilton said he had talked to
the commander on official business.
Colonel Ira F. Haynes, commandant
at Fortress Monroe, who also was
aboard the vessel, would notfdiscuss
his mission at all. The oolonelfpre

of war.
Submarines on Wa tcli
American submarines were reported

CAPITAL CITY IS
HARD EST BY
TERRIFIC STORM
Telephone and Telegraph
Systems Put Out of
Business
i
THE CITY IS DARK
Electric Lights v jlfere Not
Shining There Last
Night
Raleigh, April 3 Tfo telephone
and two telegraph systems wrecked,
the power and light plant's wires
broken and hundreds of poles thrown
into the streets, the city is tonight
in darkness and throughout the day
nearly all traffic has been suspended.
The Southern ReJway has saved
the oity from, utter isolation since
the early morning hotrs. the Sea
board's trains which stood blocked
since day break moving out this
afternoon. The havoc to its wires
and the piling of the snow once
threatened to stop its work at least
a day.
Since modern cRy life actually be
gan nobody here - has observed such
a standstill in all department s. With
out serious wind the telephone, tel
egraph, lighting- plant- and railroad
cable lines have been so badly torn
up that Raleigh has been unable
to get any news from the outside.
When the little Morning Sun started
to issuo its - daybrefk edition it
found the Carolina Power and Light
Company unable to move a wheel and
the Times got up to go to work this
morning, it had no current to move its
linotypes and' no electrcity to re
ceive its news from '. within. Two
big poles on -the out side showed
what had happened toit. They were
broken and lying almost in the door
of the office.
Car System Pjaralyced
The street cart did not even make
the running start. They are in the
barn and various employees who
speak without authority say there
is no liklihood of running before
Monday. The Times issued this
afternoon on the Willi and Obser
ver
an auxiliary service by engine. No
residence in the city used eleotnc
lights tonight.
Taking stock of losses was impos
sible today; As not a tenth of it
has been seen there is no way to es
timate it: The Easter shopping has
been destroyed, many stores having
been closed beeause their help could
not get up town and the state de
partments have been minus workers.
In quite a creditably large number of
instances, stenographers walked one
and two miles to get to their work,
being unable to get to cabs by tele
phone.
The "oldest inhabitant" was able
to discount the atory of damage
and the lateness and depth of the
snow. Maj. W. A. Graham, of the
department of agriculture remembers
that on April 20, 1850, the major
then being a sizable' lad, a snow of
ten inches depth fell. Of course
it did not stop the telephone and
telegraph traffic, did not head off the
railroad trains or put the power and
light company out of business. The
fact that it was nearly three weeks
later gives the touch of marvel
decidedly to the major's story
And then Judge George P. Pell
remembers that in Ashe county he
saw a heavy snow June 10. He re
calls that Cook and Peary saw it in
the Vicinity of the North Pole a day
or two later.
The speculation in agricultural de
partments as to the damage to fruit
crops outweighs every other thing
now. Major Graham does not be
lieve that it will hurt the apples,
but does fear that the peaches will
be cropped by the cold. But be has
hope even for this fruit if the snow
is not followed by a freese
Governor Craig and othors from
the western part of the state do not
remember that in the heights they
have seen anything quite so bad as
this so late in the spring. No mes
sage from the mountains today in
dicated what damage has been done
there nor how serious Is the inter
ruption in traffic on railroads and
street oars. Every hoe that carries
news went dead before ten o'clook
this morning.
rying around her decks. A newspaper
launch which approached the; Eitel's
slip got within SO yards of the pier
when the Patuxent's searchlight sig
nalled to the launch of the Alaba
ma which was tossing about fa the
river.
Warships Given Scare
Still another British warship was
added yesterday to the already form
idable fleet watting off Cape Henry
for the German cruiser Eitel Priedrioh,
now at Newport News to stick her
nose out Virginia Capes. The new
arrival Is described as having only two
stacks, and I. said ti much larger
han either the Cumberland, Essex.
Oaeosda or Suffolk, whieh are also off
the oapes.
Only one warship was visible from
&horr vrrisda arL.;.f but she du
appoared smMatdy when an Amerieaa
submarine said to have been D-2. ap
peared off taw eape.
It at hoMeved that the report of
the prsseaeo off a German ur marine in
the Atlantic, aaaaad the Bntish'vessej
to hurry away when she sighted the
American craft, probably to notify!
other ships in the fleet of the straa
Star's presence. Another explana
tion of the vessel' 8 departure was that
she thought the American craft in
tended notifying her to remain out
side the three mile limit.
Sound) of heavy firing, apparently
off Virginia Boaoh last night, caused
all sorts of rusnor. One of those was
that the British warships, whieh have
been hovering aroaad the oapes for
two weeks, waiting for the Eitel to
some out, had been attacked and a
battle was in progress. This report
was discredited in naval circles, but
the oanse of the firing or from whence
it came could not be learned.
BIG SHIP ASHORE

Coast Guard Boat, Pamlico,
Gets Call to Aid
the Vessel
The Coast Guard Cutter Pamlico
received an 8. O. 8. message yester
day morning at nine o'clock. This
message called for help quickly, and
was signed by the call letters P E. L.
These call letters were looked up,
which showed that the distressed
hip was the Holland steamer Prinz
Maurits. At the time this message
was sent out the' steamer was located
at latitude 36-10 north and longi
tude 74-37 west. Later several ships
were attempting, to communicate with
the distressed ship, but were unable
to get an answer to their call, but at
10:30 a Ward Line steamer, was re
ported as being near the Prinz Mau-
nts.
At 10:20 a message signed by the
radio operator at the Cape Hatteras
station, was to the effect that a three-
mast schooner was aground and in
distress off Gull Shoal. This message
also stated that a three master was

SUFFRAGE BEING
WfflELY TALKED
National Association In Ses
sion Now In New
York
New York, April 1. Lively discus
sion was aroused among the officers
and members of the National Woman
Suffrage Association today by the ac
tion of the advisory council of the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf
frage here Wednesday in advising its
members to withdraw from the na
tional association, which has been
regarded as the parent body.
The work of the new organisation is
to forward the constitutional amend
ment which would give the vote to
women directly by act of congress.
The national association supports the
Shafroth-Palmer suffrage amendment
which makes State as well as Fed
eral action necessary.
The Congressional Union's action
in excluding men as delegates, chair
men of committees or officers, also
oaused moh comment. This step
was advised by Mrs. O. H. P. Bel
mont, who said:
"We have gone along very well for
sixty years without men, so why let
them in?"
Mrs. Rheta Childe Dorr, who op
posed the admission of men to the
union, said they would use the or
ganization for political purposes.
At 11 iM last night those persons
who were on Pollock and Middle
streets down in the business section
of the oity, saw the motor-driven
fire engine coming down the street
in full blast. Naturally this created
considerable excitement and many
were curious to find out where the
fire was. The engine eame to a stop
in front of the ruins of Kafer's bak
ery where the firemen unloaded the
hose and for a considerable lime water
was played on a point where a fresh
blase had broken out and which, iV
was feared, might have oaused fur -

The Pamlico county school com
mencement which was to have been
held yesterday was postponed until
Saturday. April 10, on aoeount of

Biokett has been invited to make

COTTON ACREAGE
BTOBECUT
8o Says C A. Flower, of
Hobucken, Who Wat
Here Yesterday
('. A. Flowers, of liubucken. wa
in New Bern yesterday and while
talking with a Journal reporter stated
that the cotton acreage in his section
would be decreased this year at least
one third, and more time will be de
voted to raising stock. Mr. Flowers
stated that the people are planting
a large acreage in corn, soje beans,,
Irish and sweet potatoes. He stat
ed that in the sections around Alli
ance, Cash Corner, Bayboro and Ori
ental the farmers have already plant
ed their potato crops, and with fav
orable weather conditions from now
until harvesting time, the farmers will
be in a better condition, financially
than ever before.
''The low price that has been paid
for cotton this year is going to have
a great deal to do with the breaking
up of the one-crop idea that has pre
vailed in my section," said Mr. Flow
ers, and witn tne mversinen tann
ing, which the majority of the far
mers are doing this year, I look for
Eastern North Carolina to be one of
the richest agricultural sections in
the South before many years have
passed."
