ATTENTION. COMMITTEE!

Members of the committee se- lected yesterday to make arrange ments for holding the racing mati- nee St. PatricKs Day are urged to be present al the Business Mems League this afternoon at 8 o'clock. This meeting is of the utmost inn portance
 The committee would also like to confer with owners or those who have charge of horses shipped into Hot Springs, and they too. are requested to call at the Business Mems League today.
 From present indications. this event will be one of the most sue cessful of any special features held here in many, many months.

In order to pay the deficit remain ing from the last State Fair. officials of the Arkansas State Fair A-socia- tion have decided to hold race meeting on the OaklaWn track on the afternoon of St. PatricIS Day
 Announcement that horses were to race in Hot Springs. in view ot the complex state the Sawyer racing bill is in at present, is. officials of the fair realized, liable to cause the greatest comment, and they desire it to be strictly understood that in staging this race meet they are not going on the presumption that the Sawyer bin is law no matter how firm may be their convictions in that respect. They are not using this in any sense of the word as atest case. and the racing will be absolutely and posi-. lively free of any device whereby wagers may be made on the various events
 Briefly. Hot Springs in general and the State Fair Association in partcu- lar has no desire 10 violate the law. 1t is not against the law to hold a race meet, and the one that will be held here on the anniversary of the natal day of Ireland's patron saint will be run in the same manner races are conducted during the week of the annual exposition of the products and resources of Arkan.as.
 The last State Fair altaoush it was the biggest and best in the history ol the association, left a deficit of nearly $6,000 For years the people of Hot Springs have contributed to this exposition. It has done much to advance the agricultural interests of Arkansas. It has never been a money making institution. and there remains six thousand good hard American dol- lars that the people of this city are responsible for-that the citizenship of Hot Springs must pay for prem iums to those who made exhibits at the last State Fair and who won awards This is a debt of honor that Hot Springs cannot deny. It is an oO- ligation that Hot Springs has no de sire nor intention to repudiate
 All one can hear in Hot Springs at the present time is horse racing. The disappointment following the govern or's changeable attitude on the racing bill has in no sense dampened the hopes of local business men as to the final result, and the general opinion the unanimous hope-is that this measure may yet become a law. Real izing the interest manifested in this law, knowing there are thousands of visitors who would patronize racing matinee and having in mind the stern obligations of premiums unpaid, Oflj- cers of the State Fair Association and members of the Business Mems League met and decided to give this racing matinee. If it is a success there is every likelihood that it will be repeated under the same circum- stances either the following Saturday or for a matinee during the following week.
 There is another vital reason why entertainment of a special nature is desired to commemorate St. Patrlcts Day. Announcement has been given that the Memphis, Dallas and Guli road would have it's line between this city and TeXarkana completed by that time and that the citizens of TeNar- kama were contemplating a visit to Hot Springs that a large excursion was being planned and that Hot Springs had better prepare for resi-

UNITED STATES INCREASES PA. TROL GUARD AT NEW YORK
 AND BOSTON HARBORS.
NO INFORMATION GIVEN OUT
indications Point to Plot to Turn Ger man Steamers Laid Up in American Ports Into Warshps and Rush Them Out to Sea.

Washington March 12-Although officials here continue to deny that any evidence has been discovered to bear out stories of plot to turn Ger man steamers laid up at American ports into warships and rush them out to sea, developments of the past three days have demonstrated the govern ments determination to take eXtraor. dinary precautions against any viola ton of neutrality
 Four warships and coast guard cutter now nave been detailed for patrol duty in Boston and New York harbors W ednes day the naval yacht Dolphin was ordered from Washing ton to New York and yesterday the destroyers McDougal and Drayton rom Guantanamo, and the cutter Mo- hawk from her cruising grounds off Sandy Hook were ordered to join her.
 Assistant Secretary Peters of the treasury was an early white house caller today and had a long talk with President Wilson. He is in direct charge of customs matters and the preservation of neutrality by foreign ships in American ports ms under his charge.
 A few hours after his talk with the president, Mir. Peters left for New York. He said his trip had nothing to do with neutrality but it became known tonight that he was expected to confer in New York with officials of both the New York and Boston cus- toms houses
 In the harbors of these two cities are some of the finest vessels of the merchant fleet that kept the German flag flying in the North Atlantic lanes before the warships of the allies made ocean travel unsafe for enemy ships Dudley Field Malone. collector of the port of New York, talked with Presi- dent Wilson yesterday but did not see Mir. Peters.
 Whether additional ships will be sent either to New York or Boston was not disclosed tonight There are few available coast guard cutters but probably one could be spared for Bos- ton if deemed necessary. It is be- lieyed, however, that navy ships will be used where possible and that the Mohawk probably will be released when the two destroyers come up from Cuba,
 shortly after the outbreak of the war Collector Malone formed a neu- trality squadron of customs officers which has kept close watch on all in- termed ships as well as all those out bound. Precautions of the same sort have been taken also at Boston Cruiser Brooklyn is Ordered to Boston
 Boston, March 12-The armoreI cruiser Brooklyn, one of the fleet that destroyed the Spanish squadron off Santiago in 1898 and of late receiving ship for the Charlestown navy yard, will take up her position in Presi- dents Roads tomorrow morning to preserve neutrality in this harbor, in accordance with orders from Wash ington. Six German steamers are in- termed here, including the passenger steamers Kronprinzessn Cecilie, Gin cinnati and Amerika. All are tied up at docks and so far as known none of them have made any preparations to leave the harhor.

SPLENDID CROP REPORTS

Parties coming in from all parts of
the county report farm work progress
ing nicely. Some farmers have their
crops practically in and some of it is
up. This will be all right providing
it forgets to hail about June lst..
Some Of us get too anxious to get our
crops started but experience has been
n dear teacher and many times we
have lost by being in too big hurry.
Replanted fields are not very beauti-
full to the eye and produce no more
grain than field painted at the right
time some weeks later.
II nearly takes the heart out Of n
man to have nice field of corn or a
patch Of melons cut to shreads by
hail. For some reason we feel like il
is going to pass US by this time, but
we have made many mistakes during
our lifetime and would advise farm
ers not to be too anxious to get their
crops started.
The plains country has a big acre
age Of wheat and will reap mammoth
harvest providing providence is kind
to them.

WATER FOR THE CEMETERY

II has at last become possible 10
pipe water to our cemetery. The
pipe has been ordered and will be laid
at once after its arrival. Mr.. Fox
has kindly volunteered to oversee the
work. Those who desire To beautify
graves may now proceed to do so. The
laying of the pipe should be completed
by the middle OF May. There will be
three hydrants in the cemetery for the
present. AS the water will be metered
these will have to be locked, and wa
ter will have to be paid for, as well
as the services of care-taker, as
the income from the sale of lots is
barely sufficient to defray running ex-
penses. To provide for caretaker,
the work of fixing up the graves and
their future care should he reserved
TO this man, allowing him a reason
able compensation.
AS explained in former statement
the hy6rants cannot be left open.
Fences of all kinds within the ceme-
terry are Objectionable and should be
avoided; weeds lodge against them,
and they cause sand to bank up
against these. would like all per-
sons interested in this matter TO give
me their ideas, how best to accom-

GETS HEAD BADLY. CUT

A young Mexican who was passing
through town in company with anoth-
er, was found in the local yards with
his head badly cut and bruised Tues
day morning. The city authorities
were notified and he was brought up
town and his head bandaged and the
wounds dressed. The cause is not
known but from information given by
his partner it was ascertained that
the fellow tried to knock box car
off the track by butting it with his
head. The engine behind the box car
supported it so the Mexican was pret-
ty near killed by the collision. After
a few hours rest e he was able to
continue his journey and will he none
the worse for his experiment.

A FOND FAREWELL

Good by for a season, old furnace,
my lad; you kept us from freezin'
when weather was bad; your rest, till
November, you've certainly earned: !:
III always remember the coal you have
burned. Rest there in the cellar, oh,
furnace, and rust, forgetting the fell
ler you filled with disgust, forgetting
the mountains Of coal you required.
forgetting the fountains Of oaths you
inspired. You caused my soul twinges
too fierce to relate, dadbust your old
hinges, doggone your old CRATE!
toiled like six dragons to keep you in
coal, the coal dealers wagons forever
did roll, out here to my place, the
basement to fill; busted my gallus
to square up the bill; for weeks did
scamper to heat up the flat, con-
found your old damper and cheap
thermostat! Oh rest till the autumn,
down there in your den, and then your
old bottom III shake up again; I'll
claw at the clinkers and paw at the
slate. and cuss like the tinkers-till
then you may wait.-Walt Mason.

cruiser Leon Gambetta, of l2,400 tons

AN Australian submarine. The Berlin
news agency which made the announce
ment says that part of the crew of
between 700 and 800 men was saved.
A new German attack on large
scale has been inaugurated in Russian
POLAND, marking the resumption of
active hostilities after long lull. The
official Berlin statement of today says
the Germans conquered Russian po-
sitions in the vicinity Of Suwalki. near
the east Prussian frontier, over a dis
tance Of IL miles.
There is again sharp disparity be-
tween German and French accounts
of what is happening in Flanders.
The official German report says the
British attempts to recapture lost ter
ritory failed. The Paris announce
ment asserts that further progress
was made in the Yp-es district. II is
said heavy losses were inflicted on
the Germans.
On the heights of the Meuse a stub
born battle continues. The Paris re-
port says that the French advanced
two-thirds of mile. The Germans
announce the capture of French po-

Arredondo, head of the Carranza
agency, said the Yucatan government
was cooperating in the efforts to IA
cilitate movement of sisal fiber to the
United States and that the trade con-
dtions had never been better. He
asked that a complaint be lodged with
the state department against certain
methods employed by Avenlino Mon
ties, n representative of the Interna-
tional Harvester company. Monies,

state department to force his own
conditions upon the exporters and the
growers of sisal fiber.
At the state department it was said
that the complaint had not yet reach
