SPANISH king
HAS PEACE Plan
Alfonso Takes UP Proposal
With United States and
Other Neutral Nations.


Washington, Sept 26.--Another
movement to bring peace in Europe
has been formally inaugurated by
King Alfonso of Spain, who has COM
municated his plans to the state de-
partment. He also has taken up the
subject officially with Italy, Switzer-
land, Denmark, Norway, and the other
nations which have remained neutral
1t is believed here that the Spanish
king is in strong position to lead
a peace movement in Europe and that
his efforts may lead to direct nego-
tiations with the warning powers.
For the present the administration
will not make public its views on
King Alfonso's movement. or any
plan it has in contemplation by it,
self or in conjunction with the other
powers.

COTTON MILL
PLAN Meets
With FAVOR
Travelling Men Report En-
thusiastic Response From
All Southeast Arkansas.
COTTON BONUS
EASY TO RAISE
j. F. Quattlebaum Promises Five
BaIes-Many Others Pledge
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Seems Assured.

Complete assurance that 800 or
more bales Of cotton can be secured
to form d BONUS for the establish
ment of cotton mill in Pine Bluff
was displayed at a meeting yesterday
afternoon of travelling men who have
interested themselves in this phase OF
the project. All reported receiving
encouragement and promises of sup
port from business men with whom
they had discussed the proposition
while travelling in Southeast Arkan-
sas during the past week, the eX-
pressions indicating that contribu-
tons to the fund will be made by
merchants and cotton growers from
all parts of this section. Three bales
have been pledged by meHsEeitl14ss9t
least 100 miles from Pine Bluff.
Confident that the bonus cotton can
be secured, the travelling men named
a committee to confer with officers
of the Chamber of Commerce and
Young Mems Progressive league to
have these org 1izations conduct the
details of the campaign and the
negotiations with manufacturers.
Information secured by the travel
ing men from mills in Mississippi
show that for $25O,O0O there can be
erected here a cotton mill that Will
consume 1000 bales annually and en-
ploy throughout the year $50 people
1t is believed that mill of this size
can be secured by the offer of a
bonus of 500 bales of cotton, which is
equivalent to a cash bonus OF $25,0OO
or 10 per cent of the value of the
plant.
The committee named by the travel
ing men to meet the officers OF the
commercial organizations is compos-
ed of w. L. Carr, J. w. Martin, r. X

Washington, Sept. 26.-Following
the decision of the administration to
indefinitely postpone the evacuation
of Vera Cruz. the Rhode Island, Min

The entire burden Of protecting

this government to protect their citl-
Zens in Mexico as far as possible.
The assumption OF this -1aSk..-m means
that within short time the naval
forces of the United States in Mexico
will be increased to the strength
maintained at the time of the occupa-
tion of Vera Cruz.
The state department has received

the result beyond doubt Up to that
point it had been a long series of

hitting hard for five innings, but al

gone.
There is not an excuse for the Ath-

they lacked the nerve and fight. They
had as many and even better chances
to win as did the Braves, but the
fighting spirit of Stallings' men car

victory.
The Athletics were simply caught

up speed they were unable to do so
and all the luck and the breaks of
the game ran for Boston. The Braves
won one game because Stallings
switched his batting order, believing
Mack would send a Ieft-handed pitch
