ORGANIZED MOVE
TO dam THE RIVER
Scheme Is to Store Flood
Waters for Use During
Low Water Stages.

> Arrangements of q nature virtually
definite have been completed for the
damming of the Arkansas river, at
point a short distance above Pine
Bluff, that flood water may be stored
and released as needed during lower
later stages, thus to allow of easy
traffic by steamboats, at all times OF
the year. "a
effect has been given out, It IS
understood that the matter of dam
ming the Arkansas river has started
with Captain Davis of the steamer
Golden Fleece of the Little Rock
Memphis packet line, which steamer
goes aground with a regularity that
is believed to be painful for the
otherwise genial captain.
1t is stated that rivermen who
have had experience with the Arkan-
sas river above Pine Bluff have long
considered seriously various propo-
sitions to dam the river in the most
effectual manner, although up to this
time nothing of a permanent nature
appears to have been put into effect
During his presence in Pine Bluff
day or two ago, Major Putnam Of
err cheering department of the
national army, and who is in charge
of river improvement work in this
district, was asked if he had heard
OF knew of any proposition to dam
the Arkansas river. He stated that

Leon G. Thresher, Mining
Engineer, Killed When
English Boat Torpedoed.
GOVERNMENT IS TO
TAKE UP HIS CASE
Anticipated That United States Will
Hold Germany Responsible in Ac-
cord with Notification in Note on
German War Zone.

Washington, March 31.-State de-
partment officials anticipate that
there will be some very important
representations to Germany in the
case Of Leon Chester Thresher, an
American citizen of Hardwicke, Mass.
who was killed when the British
steamer Falaba was torpedoed Sun
day by German submarine in Sc
Georges channel.
1t is understood that Congressman
Augustus D. Gardner has already TAX
en- up the case Of Thresher with the
state department and that the matter
will be considered closely from all
angles. There appears to be no ques-
ticn that Thresher was an American
citizen, had an American passport
ard had all rights to be or. the Brit
ish vessel.
Up to late this afternoon, Secretary
Bryan said the United States had
made no effort to investigate the case
of Thresher 1t is altogether proba-
BILE, however, that an inquiry has
been sent to Ambassador Page to get
the facts so as to lay the ground for
representations
Privately, some state department
officials say that this case is covered
by the statement of this government
at the same time it discussed With
GERMANY her establishment of the
war zone and its obvious dangers tc
the lives and property of Am arican
citizens It was understood widely
in Washington that the meaning OF
the note to Germany was that il
American lives or property were
lost without a strict application OF
the principles If "vEsitation and
search" Germany would be held re-
sponsible, and the United States
would take such steps as it thought
necessary to safeguard American in
terests.
