Newport News, Va, March 30.-No light has yet been shed upon the status of the German cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich. No one without of ficial authority is permitted to ap- proach the Eitels pier. All night long a sentinel stood guard at the pier entrance and was relieved by an- other at sunrise. There were few signs of activity on the German raider, and smoke was coming from only one of her tunnels.
 One of the many reports current in marine circles today was that Brit ish merchant ships leaving here have been carrying coal to the allies war ships lying off the capes in wait for the Prinz Eitel. It was said one of the reasons for sending the bat tleship Alabama here was to enforce neutrality in all it's phases.

 Mr. Mobley, in a letter to Sec. Frp, addressed pleasure at the announcement that the govern ment will assist in financing the cotton crop and thus help the grower to make a profit.
 Whether the aid will reach the growers remains to be seen, :" Mr Mobley said, but it recog- nizes principle for which all American farm organizations have always contended, without success until now. It recognizes that staple farm products, prop erly insured and housed. are to be accepted by the government as basis or security for loans of government funds.

Our little city and surround ing country is grief stricken this week over the untimely death of pr. c. L. Crawford and !. K. Johnson, who paid the toll of death at the hand of a crazed negro. Pat Bowers, shortly after the noon hour Sunday. Chester Crawford was also se iously wounded and only slight hopes are retained for his recovery.
 The fiendish black began the orgy of crime, which led un to the horrible tragedy when he shot and killed his wife through I it of jealousy at the house of Ed Nichols, colered, in the S7uth west part of Carlisle about 11:30 a m. Sunday. Wh n ae learned of the crime Constable J. T. Burnett, accompanied by pr. c. l.. Crawford and son Chester and J. K. Johnson, started in pursuit of the negro, who had gone to the home of his father Jake Bowers, about 1 miles Southeast of Carlisle.
 When they arrived at the negro's home Mr. Burnett went to the lot where the elder Bowers was harnpssing a team, to seek

Carlisle about three years ago from Dexter, \ M., Dr. Craw. ford bought farm about three miles Northeast of town and be- gan growing rice. He at once ad- l iusted himself to the surround. lings and never missed an op poatupisy to boost Carlisle and Central Arkansas.
 By his progressive ideas and energetic efforts he so improved his farm that it is pointed to ith pride by all our people. The bountiful rice crop, which he was to have began harvesting last Monday, is said to be one of the finest in Arkansas rice belt.
 pr. Crawford also owns one of the most comfortable homes in in Carlisla and adjoining it a modernly equipped physicians and surgeons office, from which ne enjoyed a lucrative practice. He was kInd hearted and charlt- able at all times, which greatly endeared him to the people Of this vicinity.
 Dr. Crawford was about 50 years of age and is survived by his wife, two sons. Chester. age 21 and Charles, age F, and one daughter. Miss Agnes, age 17; four brothere, Dr. W. E.

Deputy Sheriff c. W. Rice, City
 Marshal W. c. Morrison anl ] Clarence Flynn arrived on the scene to aid in the arrest and Mr. Rice opened fire on the black as he entered the house and it is thought that this shot took effect.
 By this time news of the trag edy had spread like wild-fre through the efficient service of the Carlisle Telephone Go and every nan and boy in this sec tion that could use a gun. armed themselves and started out to aveng the death of two prominent citizens.
 Philips Walters. living South of town, who was among the first to arrive at the Bowers home deserves much praise for the splendid herojsm ne display ed in rescuing Chester Crawford after the latter had been serious ly wounded the second time. Undaunted by the horrible fate tthat had met his trio of friends, Mr. Walters went alone to the automobile, which stood- within one hundred feet of the house where the negro had barracid ed hithseIf, and took Chester in his arms to another car about two hundred yards away. where first aid was administered to the young man oy physicians. On account of the great loss Of blood attending physicians sad Ches ter would have succumed to his 1 injuries in snort while had it not been for Mr. Walters brave act.
 Shortly after , o'clock in the afternoon citizens who had ar rived on the scene of the tragedy began bombarGed the house with high powered rifles and this was kept up until about 3 o'clock when Sheriff Swain with special deputies arrived from Lonoke Headed by MT. Swain, about a half dozen Citizens entered the house from the rear by wrecking two doors downstairs and also one at the head of the stairs, where the brute was found lay ing accross bed dying from the effect of bullet wound in the left breast, which extended en tirely through his body.
 Opinions vary as to who fired the shot that killed the triple murderer. Some believe it was from Deputy Shrriff Rice's rife; others believe Sheriff Swain with the posse who first entered the house fired the fatal shot as they riddled the ceiling with
 bullets before attempting to go
 up stairs: still others are of the the opinion that the negro, re- alizing that his end was soon at at hand, took his own life with one of the revolvers that was found beside hin. At any rate the large number of citizens who were present had the sweet con solation of seeing the worthless negro, who wrecked two Carlisle homes and cast 9 shadow ot gloom over this entire section. gasp his-laSt breath.
