Seventeen of Them Employed On New Hotel Building Are At Outs With Contractors Over Time
 They Should Labor,

Seventeen carpenters, employed by Contractors Monk and Richie on the New Pine Bluff Hotel building at Fifth avenue and Ma n streets, are out because of a disagreement be> tween the members Of. the CArpen- strs Union and fhe contractors. At meeting last night the carpenters were sustained in their contention and unless Monk and Richie yield tC the.r demands this morning it may he necessary for 'Shem 10 employ non union men to continue their work on the new building.
 According to the carpenters they agreed on February 1 to work ter hours a. day instead of the usual eight hours for eight weeks. This concession was made by the csT2en- gers to aid the contractors in their efS forts to complete the pob in a certain me. The bad weather of recent months has retarded the work on tie hotel and for this reason the con cession was made, they say. The eight week agreement expired Sat urday night and the carpenters dld not go to work until o'clock yes terday morning.

RedfOrk Leyee Safe.

Col. Gu: Waterman, of Dumas, Desha county, who is spending a few days ill the city and who has been prominently identified with levee distr'ct in Eoutheasl. Arkansas for many years, says that the report that tie Re1fork levee had given way several days ago il: incorrect. He says at last reports the levee was holding we'll and had been strength ened in many places sufficiently 70 make the residents behind it easy and confident that it would not give way. There have been no breaks in either ,.he .Desha or tl:a Redfoik Levee Dis, ricts said Colonel Waterman.
 ''Tl.e situation, however, in South east Arkansas" said Colonel Water man is anything but encouraging at this time. Wate. is everywhere and the loss of live ~tock has been tre- mendous The back water that is giving so much trouble in South Ar kansas comes from the two mile gap, which If closed would join Arkansas and Mississippi irver levees. Watson and all towns around it are under water and hundred of acres of fine farm lands are inundated. North of the Arkans'as river the flood wa.ers are from the crevasse in the levee at Laconia, Ark. There f.: no water in Dumas as yet, but the back water has come within a mile of us.
 "The government engineers have been doing magnificent work in South Arkansas, not only by aiding in holding the levees, but in caring f-r refugees and aiding others who are inconvenienced by the flood. The railroads have also been doing fine work in ding in the. levee improve ment plans."

Olympic Arrived Too Late

Olympic Arrived Too Late.
 The collision occurred 1,150 miles east of New York and 45O miles south of Cape Race, the most westerly point off New Foundland. Contrary to early dispatches there was no storm when the vessel struck. The weather was clear and the sea calm.
 Almost as soon as the Virginia pick ed up the distress signal it was re- corded by the operator on the Olympic, the Titanic's sister, and next to her the largest vessel afloat. This was at mid night. At that hour the Olympic was 200 miles from New York en route to Southampton The Olympic forged ahead under full steam but tonight wireless dispatches indicate that she reached the scene too late to be of any assistance.
 Th1 Patio, famous for her rescue Of the passengers of the Steamer Republic and for her Jack Binns, who sat aloft and braved death to summons help, was the next ship to pick up the relief story of the Titanic's plight. She was on her way from New York to Liver pool, but turned about and put on full speed before the Titanic's position.
 The Parisian, according to her mes sages, reached the Titanic shortly af- ter the Baltic.

 Loss of Life Enormous.
 Wireless Station Camperdown, N. S., April 15.-Messages flashing through here late tonight indicate that the passengers in the life boats from the Titanic had thrilling experiences.
 Huge quantities of field ice covered the ocean and the boat steerers had to guide their crafts with the greatest of care. In some eases the ice was so heavy that the boats could not force their way through it and as result many of them became widely separat- ed.
 Many of the passengers in the life boats were scantily clad, having been hurried from their berths in the dead of the night and ordered into the beats. The loss of life is believed here to be enormous.
