 OPEN FEBURARY 1 Cotton Belt Announces that Work Will Not Be Resum-
 ed Until February l5.
LOSING $2,500 A DAY
Six Hundred Employees Here Will Lose $55.Uti0 Tlrough 2a.Day Enforced Lay-Gii-sdiencss May Cost
 Them S32s500.

That the Cotton Belt shops will re main closed until February f3 was the substance of notice posted on the bulletin board 9t the shops yester- day.
 The belief was frankly expressed oy employees of the shops yesterday ar terneon. that the shops will not re- sume operations until March l, some of the employees stating that they are of the belief the shops will remaln closed until after the completion of the work of fixing value to iCctton Belt property in this section by the repre- sentatives of the interstate commerce comm asion who are new engaged In such work here.
 No reason fer the extension of the closed period at the shops was lnclui- cd in the notice posted yesterday, nor would any of the read officials hefe give any cause for sucf action. Ap- proymately 500 men arc affected "y the notice, every department at the shcDs being idle except the rouI1- house department, where abou. -o men are employed making absolutely necessary repairs on rolling stock ID operation.
 The monthly payroll of the sho1+ here aggregatcs something like Slos 0on hence a layoft means that S2,ooo per day is being kept from the com pany's shopmen here. The present lay-off went into effect January 70, and if the men return to work Feb ruary 15. they will have lost g days, CT S55,0GD If the shops do not re- sume until March 1, the employees will have lost 37 days or $92,7oo, virtually all of which would be expended here for rent, food, clothing, fuel and other necessities.

WANT Sl,000 MORE
 FOR WORK IN 1915
Chamber of Commerce Can vassing Committees Will
 Try to Finish Today.

Pledges aggregating about $1,000 more are needed to carry out the planned work of the Chamber of Con- merce during the present year, and for the purpose of raising this sum, the special canvassing committees will make another visit to some of the To- suit of the decision reached at the at noon yesterday
 The committees will complete their work today. Something like a score of business men who have already sgnified their intention to sign pledge cards, but who asked the committees to call again, will more than likely make up the $1,O00 needed, and these will be visited today.
 The attendance at the luncheon yesterday was the largest perhaps in many months. There was great en- thusiasm displayed in the work of the organization and in the prospects fo: the year, and the discussion of mat ters of more than ordinary interest was participated in freely by all those present.
 After the luncheon, a conference was held by County Judge Philpot and members of special committee from the Chamber of Commerce, on the sub jec- of good roads, especially in the matter of a proposed amendment to the state laws, allowing the use of general funds for read building pur- poses. Because there are pending cer- tain laws on this subject in the state legislature at this time, it was decided to allow the matter to lie over while.
 The luncheon itself was greatly en- joyed. the principal dish being ''home- grown, homemade" pork sausage, sent in with the compliments of Jesse R.. Core, the Plum Bayou planter.

CROWDED STREET
 CARS CAUSE CRIME
Immortality and Drunkenness Increas. cd by Insufficient Transportation
 Facilities in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-lnefficient trans portation conditions were charged to- day with being among the contribut- ing causes to immortality and drunk enness. The charges were made by Miss Harriet Vittum, head of North western university settlement, and sustained by Robert O'Dwyer in their testimony before the state public utilities commission, which is seeking q remedy for crowded street cars.
 Overcrow ling of cars in the factory districts, when the girls, exhausted and worn after their days work, are compelled to stand packed in with men like sardines, is a direct cause of crime, according to Miss Vittum. "The girls get into conversations with men they shouldn't she said. "They are thrown with immoral men,"
 O'Dwyer said men. finding their home bound car not at hand, turn tc the corner cafe to pass the time in awaiting its arrival. "One drink, then another, then the dice box and the man doesn't care whether he goes home or not" said O'Dwyer

lNDlCT LIQUOR.
Prosecuting Attorneys Say "Booze"
 Causes Most Crime.

Little Rock, Jan. 27.-Copies Of the biennial report of Attorney-General Moose, a volume of 650 pages, wore distributed among the members of the general assembly Tuesday. In view ef the intense prohibition agitation in the legislature at the present time the following paragraph from his report is of mere than passing interest:
 ''lt is significant that. almost with out exception, the prosecuting attor- neys in their reports to this depart ment state that the predominant cause of crime is to be found in the liquor traffic These officers of the law get information first hand. They do not make this statement voluntarily, but the question is asked them directly on the blank forms which are sent to each prosecuting attorney from this office. They could have no motive to state anything but the truth. They are able and patriotic citizens. many of them are not prohibitionists, and their statements on this subject are entitled to great weight"

Next Few Days Will Decide Whether Junior Commer-
 cial Body to Continue.

The special membership committee of the Young Mems Progressive Business league. held a meeting last night at the assembly rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, at which re- ports were made of the results of the canvass which has been under way the past few days.
 Each of the committeeman report ed that he has met with fair success in his labors, and the net result was considered satisfactory, so far as it goes. The officers and governors of the league are determined that no half way measures will be acceptable however, and the decision was reach ed to continue the canvass another week, in the effort to make the can vass an unqualified success, failure to accomplish this being considered sufficient grounds for disbanding.
 Members of the canvassing com mittee are Of the opinion that another weeks work will result in the complete reorganization of the league, and the meeting last night therefore decided to meet again next Wednesday, then finally to settle the fate of the organization.
