HUGE STILL AND THREE MEN TAKEN IN HENRICO RAID. Eleven 500 gallon fermenters, a two horse wagonload of liquor and a complete copper still of 250 gallons capacity, in full operation, were solzed by members of the Henrico County police force, co-operating with the State Prohibition Department in a raid near the Gayton Coal mine; twelve miles from Richmond yesterday afternoon. Using an alleged 'member' of the operating crew he had surprised from ambush as a camouflage and shield against possible revolver fire from his confederates one of the raiding officers succeeded in getting within a few yards of the plant before the operators were aware of the officer's identity. Two of the crew said to have been operating the plant made an effort to escape and gave the officers a chase of several hundred yards through the brush and wood bordering the plant be fore they submitted to arrest under threat of the officers' guns. REMANDED TO COUNTY JAIL Three men believed to be but the "tools" of the "higher-ups" in an alleged bootleggers and manufacturers "ring" said they were Luther Mann, Jr., Henry Crew, colored. They were charged in warrants with operating the still and transporting liquor. In default of $1,000 bond the men were remanded to the County Jail for a preliminary hearing in Magistrate Pur year's court this morning. The men are alleged to have confessed to police they were "hirelings" and received $2.50 a day for their services in operating the still. They said the plant was capable of three runs a day and that the output was more than fifty gallons per run. According to the raiding party, the plant was one of the most complete ever seized here, and was equipped with "copper doubler," a process whereby the liquor is twice refined. Several thousand gallons of mash and other supplies used in the manufacture of the product were found by the officers and piles of cordwood cut in four-foot lengths stacked about the plant gave evidence the still was operating at full capacity. The raid occurred shortly after noon after the men had carefully maneuvered about the plant for strategic positions. While Officers Lawrence, Sadler and Dennis of the county police force were encircling the still from ambush Officer Crude of the Prohibition Department watched from concealment a colored man unload a two-horse wagon of liquor and secrete it in brush. He surprised the man and made him lead him to his alleged confederates' plant where on signal the county officers sprang from the woods and descended upon the camp. A heavy truck was commanded by the officers in bringing the plant to the city and considerable comment was elicited by citizens as they witnessed the still caravan and officers in motor cars guarding their "find" pass through the streets to the County Jail.

Sanders, Presiding Elde, of Fort Wayne District, Indiana and Michigan, who was in Roanoke this week, addressed the audience at Mt. Zion A. M. E. hCurch on the occasion of their Easte, celebration Sunday night. Rev Sanders is a native of Franklin County, Va. He is visiting his mother, Mrs. Sarah Sanders, who is in very feeble health at this time and his sister, Miss Ela Sanders, who has been very tender in her care for their mother. Rev James S. Hatcher delivered a very masterly sermon Easter. Rev Hatcher in a most persuasive manner exhorted his church and congregation Sunday morning to put away prejudices and love one another, which seemed most befitting for the Easte, service when we are reminded of the deep love of God to us, the gift of His Son. There were four accessions and a collection of $113.00 for the day. The Easter program rendered by the pupils of Mt. Zlion A. M. E. Sunday School Sunday night was one of the grandest features of past years. It was under the management of Rev. George P. Miller, superintendent and his corps of officer officers and teachers. Mrs. Gertrude Hatcher and Mrs. Hale rendered special services. The little ones performed their parts with wonderful credit to themselves, their teachers, parents, and the sacred occasion of the resurrection of our Mison Lord. Rev. Hatcher was highly pleased. There has been a revival service improgress at the High Street Baptist Church for more than a week. There are many without the fold who might avail themselves of the opportunity of coming to the Saviour, while there is yet time. Rev. Harris President of the West Virginia Baptist Convention is assisting Rev. Lee THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE The fifty-sixth session of the Virginia Annual Conference convened in Mt. Zion A. M. E.

Church, the twentieth anniversary and thanksgiving services and sermon was delivered to about 1500 St. Lukes and friends by Rev. W. W. Hicks of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. This spacious edifice was crowded. The collection was $69.00. The work of the order is increasing rapidly under the deputy-ship of M. Braxton and his aldes. Rev. James S. Hatcher, B. D. delivered his farewell sermon Monday. Mrs. Mattle Allison, of Pittsburgh Pa. was called to the bedside of her sister, Mrs. Lula Calloway, of 277 Eighth Avenue, N. W.

CHILDREN MISSING BELIEVED TO BE SAFE. Navy-Yard Sends Six Trucks Loaded With Food for Destitute. HELP CALLED FROM OUTSIDE Low Water Pressure Handicaps Battle to Prevent Spread of Fire. Norfolk, Va., April 13.—Ten blocks of dwellings, covering an area more than a mile in length, in which were approximately 200 houses, several small stores and, one church, were destroyed by fire which raged for more than five hours in the colored section of Berkley Ward. The property loss is estimated at from $500,000 to $750,000 More than 200 families are homeless. Two of the schools in the Berkley section out of the fire district were thrown open early tonight, and more than 1,000 persons, a large proportion of whom are children, are making the best of their efforts to sleep on floors, tables, desks and a number of cots, most of which were furnished in the emergency by Admiral Andrews, con commanding the navy yard and Captain R. Z. Johnston commanding the training station at the naval base. AID FOR VICTIMS Captain Johnston hearing of the desolation confronting the fire victim, many of whom lost everything they possessed sent six five-ton truckloads of food and provisions and other needed supplies to Berkley. These were disdributed by men from the training stat ion where they would prove most hemless. During that period in which night fell hundreds of people, most of them colored, saw everything they had destroyed. Many were buying homes from meager earnings. The roaring of the flames and the savage red glare through the twilight seemed to menace the whole eastern end of Berkley. Many were in panic. Some of the store keepers along Liberty street and elsewhere in the business section prepared to move such valuables as they might salvage. The combined fire-fighting forces of Norfolk, Portsmouth, South Norfolk Ocean View, the navy yard, the army base and the navy base found all efforts futile until engines were hooked up to the river and streams forced through one lines of hose. In one instance the line of hose was almost a mile in length. SHIFT OF WIND SAVES HOMES It was a shift in the wind and the wall of Magnolia Cemetery that combined to save hundreds of houses. This change in wind direction began to show itself about 6:30 after the flames had been spreading at will for two hours. The wind was west of south when the fire started. The shift was toward the east. The change drove the fire ahead of it directly toward the cemetery, a large open space across which the flames could not leap, an which was too great in width for burning brands or sparks to carry their menace. In the meantime calls for assistance were sent to Newport News and Suffolk and apparatus was rushed to this city. During the period of panic rumors of loss of life, particularly among children, flew thickly. These are believed to be unfounded. There was an absence of falling walls, there being few structures of brick within the area. Most of the children were accounted for during the night when families were reunited at the two schoolhouses. Those still missing—how many cannot be stated tonight—are believed to have gone to the homes of friends. Communication is crippled through the destruction of telephone wires and whether there was any loss of life will not be known definitely for a day or two. The blaze started from sparks from the old abandoned plant of the Tunis Lumber Company in which fire was discovered about 4:30 o'clock. Carried from a brisk wind, sparks from the lumber plant landed in the shingle roofs of a half-dozen groups of houses on Eight, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh streets. Fire fighters were handicapped by the koc foe water. So great was the demand made upon what water there was available that almost as soon as the hose connection was made it was necessary to seek another's hydrant in the hope of getting better pressure. The charccer of the buildings was such that they burned like timber. Within a few minutes after catching one would be gone and the flames were eating in another structure. The fire jumped over the lots around the Abraham Lincoln School which was saved. The Central Baptist Church (colored) on Liberty Street was destroyed. The water pressure was low according to reports, and the large number of fire engines, practically all from Norfolk, on the main reduced pressure. In order to avoid an explosion, the tanks of the City Gas Company were pumped out, and danger of an explosion from this source was avoided. About 55,000 cubic feet of gas were lost, either dissipated in air or burned at vents several blocks distant from points of danger. TWO HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Wind veering toward the southeast shortly after 6 P. M. gave rise to the hope that the fire might burn itself out at Magnolia Cemetery, an open space, directly in the path into which the indicated shift would drive it. At 6:10 P. M. the fire was crossing Berkley Avenue at Eight Street. A gas tank of the City Gas Company at that time was in imminent danger. The fire had burned beyond the big gas tank on Eighth Street just off Berkley Avenue. On the other side the flames were sweeping close, and it appeared that only a miracle could save the tank. The tank's iron sides were badly blistered. Two men narrowly escaped serious injury by leaping from an automobile an instant before it was struck and wrecked by a fire engine. The crash occurred at the corner of Main street and Berkley Avenue when congestion was at its worst. The automobile could not get out of the path of the engine. Several firemen were blistered by the intense heat or overcome by smoke, among them A. T.

A detail of sailors and marines from the navy-yard and marina barracks, under command of officers, did heroic work in tearing down buildings in the way of the flames and otherwise adding firemen and police in handling the situation which for a time verged on panic.

Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try be fore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.
