COTTON BELT SHOPS
 ARE TO CLOSE FRIDAY
Nearly zoo Men Will Be Laid of for Indefinite Period, as Result
 of Order.

Notice was posted on the bulletin board at the Cotton Belt shops yester- day afternoon that the shops will close down Friday evening, at the con- clusion of the days work, and will remain closed until further notice.
 The order for the posting of the notice. directed that the same forces should be laid off which were laid off prior to the recent resumption of operations at the shop, this meaning that all except the roundhouse crew will be laid off. Nearly 700 men will be affected.
 None of the local .official1sOf the com- pany would discuss the matter, point ing to the posted bulletin as all they knew about it.
 Vice President c. w. Nelson and a party of Northern and Eastern capital ists arrived here yesterday afternoon on a special train, making a tour or the road, but it was specifically stated that there was no connection between the arrival of MT. Nelson and the posting of the bulletin shutting down the shops.
 The belief is extant among old em- ployes of the shops that the shut down will continue about six weeks or more. Several of the employees of the shops have already arranged to obtain employment elsewhere, notably in Texas, with other companies.

Newport, News, Va.. March 10-The German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Freidrich limped between two hostile battle ships off the Virginia capes and took refuge i'l this port today. During her cruise, which began at Tsing-tau China in November, the Eitel traversed the Pacific ocean, rounded Cape Horn and steamed up the length Of the Atlantic ocean. She captured and sank ten merchant ves- sels-five British, three French, one Russian and one American
 The sinking of the American ship, the William P.- Frye a sailing vessel bound from Seattle to Queenstown with 520O tons of wheat, deeply con- cerned American port officials here.

WILL 1NTERNE SHIP.
German Embassy Thinks It Improb.
 able Eitel Will Leave Port.

Washington, March 10.--The arriv- al at Newport NeZ of the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Freid- richs raised several interesting ques- tions for the United States govern ment The principal problem pre- sente.l was to establish the status of the 326 so-called prisoners of war which tho vessel brought into port. There have been quite number of cases where warships of belligerents have entered ports of the United States to obtain provisions or repairs, but few, if any, cases where prisoners were brought in.
 It was stated at the German em- bassy that the 326 prisoners on the cruiser are not prisoners of war but simply survivors of vessels sunk by the cruiser. The usual procedure in such cases Is to put them ashore at the nearest convenient point. There fore, the survivors will be given their liberty. In the opinion of of ficials Of the embassy, the most troublesome question between Ger many and the government of the United States arising out of the ar rival of the German cruiser is the application of the immigration laws to the persons brought in by the cruisers. t~A
 Commissioner of Immigration Caminetti said he would not be able question coes up to him for settle ment It is possible that the surs vivors will simply be turned over to the consuls Of their various countries with the understanding that every ef- fort will be made to return them to their homes.
 The discovery today that the Eitel had sunk the American ship William P. Frye of Baltimore raised an unex- pected issue. The captain and crew of the Frye are on board the GermaA cruiser. The schooner had on board wheat intended for British port.
 The request of the captain of the German cruiser made to the New port shipbuilders for repairs was re- ferred to the secretary of the navy. Secretary Daniels at once communi- cated with Admiral Beattie, com mandant of the Norfolk navy yards and directed him to send an officer to Newport News to make an lnvesti- gation.
 Beattie's Report.
 Admiral Beattie reported tonight as follows:
 "Prinz Eitel Freidrich. German navy, transferred from command of gun bot in China officers are regular German officers. The crew came from the Kaiserin Lutz. The captain said that the merchant captain. b now on board. No examination made at sea. The chief engineer t6inks 1t will take about two or three weAss

Ambassador Spring Rice Tells Secretary Bryan How
 to Relieve Situation.
OTHER NATIONS
 ANXIOUS TO ACT
Railroad Communication Between Vera Cruz and Mexico City Must Be Kept Open. and United States
 Should Insist on This, They Say.

Washington, March 10.--Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, conveyed to the state department to- day the first practical suggestion as to how the constant local interna- tiOnal scandals at the Mexican capi- tai might be avoided in the future.
 The suggestion simply is that rail- road communication between Mexico City and Vera Cruz should always be maintained inv.olate and that usen conditions should De insisted on ab- solutely.
 This suggestion came to the British ambassador from MT. Holer, the British charge d'affaires at Mexico City. As it was made public by the state department after a call there of the Britlst. ambassador, it is understood Mr. Holer spoke advised ly and on the authority of the home government.
 The text of MT. Toler's dispatch is as follows:
 "In my opinion. the effect of the American note to Carranza and Ob' gon has been extremely good. It is. however, absolutely necessary that immediate steps should be taken for to the capital.
 "Whatever party is in power in Mexico City and Vera Cruz, it is now plain that the best means to prevent the recurrence of such situation as now evists would be to insist abso- lutely on the local troops maintaining inviolate the railway communications betkeen Vera Cruz and Mexico City,
 It is reasonably certain that Great Britain, Spain and other nations will take up directly with the United States the necessity of keeping the States the necessity of keeping the railroad line and other railway com munications with the national capi- tai open. In China it was necessary to do this by international agree ment. So far, however, Secretary Bryan has indicated that this govern ment proposes to act alone with re- ference to Mexican affairs.
 He announced today that many oi the. 25OO American citizens in Mexico City had evinced a desire to leave their homes and property in Mexico at the. suggestion of the president made to them on March 5.
 Secretary Bryan received a dis patch about o'clock yesterday afternoon from the Brazilian minis ter at Mexico City, describing the food conditions there as still serious The minister did not say whether General Obregon has actually evec.., l ated the city. There is conflict in the reports as to evacuation. John R. silliman reported on Monday that I it was "rumored" that Obregon wal getting out, and the Villa agency here stated last night that tho evacuation had taken place and tha Zapata had entered. l Secretary Bryan announced i as likely an agreement would b' reached between the factions at Pro greso. which would insure the re- 1 opening of that port and supply O hemp for the United States.

Spends Yesterday Inspect ing Property Recently Ac-
 quired by Newman Synd.
JIM ALLEN CONFERS
 WITH LORIMER PARTY
Former Owner Of Clio Property Leaves Last Night for St. Louis and ChicagO-LOrimer Goes tO Monroe
 tO Inspect Min There

William Lorimer, former United States senator from Illinois; his son William Lcrimer, Jr., and IT, M. Wheeler of Johnsville, Ill.,, who ar- rived in Pine Bluff iron, Chicago late Tuesday night, spent yesterday fore noon al Clio and that vicinity, return ing to Pine Bluff about noon, after partially inspecting the timber ,ands and mill property there Of A. P Newman and associates.
 The Lorimer party was met here early yesterday morning by ] R. Allen. who escorted them to Clio, where they met MT. Newman. Mr, Allen returned to Pine Bluff with ths party, MT. Newman remaining al Clio. X
 MT. Lorimer had notbing to say ,.i the visit to this section, except tina! it concerns business matter Na' would Mir. Allen discuss the matter in detail. None of the gentlemen would give out the result achieve,' by the visit here of the Illinois capi- talits and former senator.
 That interesting and important de- velopments are likely in the very near future, as a result of activities on the part of Mr. Newman and his associates, is the opinion held by mer in close touch with the sawmill situa ton in this section of Ihe state. Only few days~ago Mr. ,Newsnan had ea C:;o. as his guest, Jacob, Frank h Rockford, Ill.,, capitalist and msM1' facturer, who thoroughly investigat cd thx, situation there. Now MT Lorimer and his party comes, ane it is understood another party ot Chicago capitalists is expected il this vicinity within the next few days also to see the property at Clio.
 The opinion prevails that within { comparatively short time the foIma announcement will be made that ar' engagements have been perfected fo' the resumption of operations by th' big mill at Clio. At present. Edga' Brewster and associates are opera. ing the box factory at Clio, and be, cause they have lease on :, that part of the property, no change IS expected to affect them. But that thu main mill will shortly resume opera ticns is the belief ;ield in well-posted circles in Pine Bluff.
 The members of the Lorimer party left on the Iron Mountain early last night for Monroe, La.. where MT Lorimer is interested in sawmil property. Mir: Allen left on the east bound Cotton Belt this morning fol Memphis, after which he will go tt St. Louis and Chicago. s.~
