Echo of Packet Line.

The Little Rock Packet Company,
organized by the business men of Lit
tie Rock in 1909, to promote traffic on
the Arkansas river, surrendered It's
charter,
The company was organized with a
capital stock of 100000, only part
of which was paid in. The first presi-
dent of the company was w. NJ. Kava-
naugh, who was succeeded by H, y
Auten. The company purchased two
sternwheel boats, the Rapids" and
,"Grand," for about $4,000. The boats
operated between Memphis and Lit
tie Rock for about two years, and
made occasional trips to Dardanelle
and Ozark. Because Of the low stage
OF the river the boats were unable 10
operate, and they were sold about
four years ago.
The Rapids was purchased by the
Hall Stave Company of Memphis, and
now is operated between Memphis and
Paducah. it is said to be the fastest
sternwheel boat on the Mississippi
river
The Rapids was sold to Capt, Nellie
Johnson, and is operated between
Memphis and Mariana, Ark.

PREPARING TO Arm
AMERICAN VESSELS
SHIP OWNERS HAVE BEEN NOTl-
FLED OF PRESIDENT WILL
SONS DECISION.

Washington.-The American gov
ernment began preparations to arm
American merchantmen against Ger
manys ruthless submarine warfare.
Shipowners have been notified Of
President Wilson's decision that lie
has full legal authority to proceed
with the policy.
When vessels said under tho policy
Of armed neutrality they will do so
with the support Of the administration
expressed in the form of war risk
insurance and naval guns and gun
ners. In the background will be the
entire resources of the United States
ready for action should Germany at
tack an American armed ship in vio-
lation of the warning of the American
government.
The State Departments view of de-
fensive armament is that the mere
appearance of German submarine or
its perscope near an American armed
vessel will entitle the vessel to take
all measures Of protection on the pre-
sumption that the submarines pur-
pose is hostile This is based on Ger
many's announcement that her subma-
rines will attack without warning any
belligerent or neutral merchantmen
encountered within the barred zone.
Whether this position will be EN-
bodied in instructions to commanders
Of American armed ships and wheth-
er arms and ammunition will be fur
nished to vessels carrying contraband
were discussed, but no announcement
was authorized.
President Wilson's attitude has been
that no steps of a belligerent charac-
ter should be taken and that if state
of war comes it must be through Ger
manys acting in clear violation Of
international law. Some officials close
to the president believe that in line
with this policy the United States
should not sanction a "shoot-on-sight"
were discussed, but no announcements
aggression.
Since the policy of the government
in the past has been not to insure YES
sells carrying arms and ammunition to
the belligirents, it has been consid
cred probable that this attitude VIII
be maintained. The lists of contra
band articles recognized by the Unit
ed States differ widely from those
drawn up by the belligerents since
the outbreak of the war and therefore
it is believed that only actual muni-
tions of war will be placed on the re-
stricted list for the purpose of de-
termining what ships are to be i'll
sured.

SWISS WELCOMES
YARRONDALE CREW
AMERICANS SAY THEY WERE
TREATED BADLY BY GERMANS
HAD SOUP ONCE DAILY.
ONE IN PARTY is HELD
Yankees Convinced That the Raider
Which Sank Their Vessel Was
"Ritz of Brennan" Which They
Describe as a New Boat

Zurich.-Laden with cigars, cigar
cites and food showered upon them
by the hospluable Swiss, SO of the now
historic Yarrowdale prisoners arrived
in Zurich. They arrived at the Ger
man frontier at Lindau, after a con-
tinuous trip of 80 hours from the pris-
on camp at Brandenburg.
The sailors, although emaciated
from their Imprisonment and serious
lack of food since their arrival in Ger
many on December 81, are in fair con-
dition and confident that with a nor
nal amount of food they will soon De
themselves again.
The party was met here by United
States Consul-General Keene, who
greeted them briefly and asked them
not to forget that they were Ameri-
cans and not to bring discredit on
America by yielding to an understand
able temptation to kick over the
traces"
The sailors said that they were
convinced that the raider which sank
their vessel was the Ritz of Bremen"
They describe her as brand new YES
sci of about 5000 tons, capable of IS
knots, equipped with one funnel, two
masts, one false funnel, four torpedo
tubes, seven rapid firing guns and a
wheelhouse which was hidden by side
Of the ship.
The tunnels had a devise by which
the stripes could be charged at will,
and the ships doors were so con-
structed as to cut off all light WHEN
they were open.
During their stay in Germany, they
reported, they had subsisted on one
allowance of soup daily and had made
their long journey to the border on
one such "meal" There was hardly
one of them who, they declared, had
not felt the fist Of a German camp
guard, and the squad of five soldiers
which brought them to.the border had
exercised the privilege of abusing
them up to the last possible moment
The men tell Of the terrible suffer
ings they underwent during a period
of severe cold weather in Germany,
due partly to lack of fuel, but more to
the absence of the shoes and cloth
ing which they had lost. Since their
entrance into Switzerland at Ro-
schach, they say, they have been roy
ally treated.
The party includes all the Amerl-
cans detained, except one seaman
named Ruleat, Of French-Canadian
family, claiming to have been born In
Massachusetts, who was held in Brand
enburg. They were accompanied by
one Brazilian and one Spaniard.

All of the important appropriation

The governor, with the aid of Chair
man Harrison of the budget commit
tee and several other members Of the
Legislature, will make a careful esti-
mate Of the receipts for the next two
years and consider the appropriation
bills from that standpoint. Parties
who have given the matter consider
able study, say while the Legislature
exceeds all of its predecessors in the
matter Of passing appropriation bills,
there will be ample funds on hand -

passed several measures, notably the
Increase in taxes Of insurance com
panies that will make up for the in.
creased appropriations. The seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollar bond
bill passed early in the sessions will
take care of all outstanding warrants
and other claims against the state.
The Legislature with one exception
passed all of the constructive meas
ures recommended by Governor
Rrough in his inaugural address. The
exception was the advisory pardoning
board which was designed to relieve
the governor of much detail work in
