DISGUISED AS FISHERMAN

Diaz himself was disguised as peon.
 The rest of his company so disguised themselves that they were readily re- garded as actual fishermen. The little vessel upon which they embarked was tossed hither and thither by one of the .'northcrs" which sometimes devastats shipping in the Guluf of Mexico, and the vessel fourdered. All the munitions were lost Diaz and his companions, however
 were able tc reach the coast of Mexico at poin. a little south of the Rio Grande river. Still maintaining their disguise, they made their way cautiously into the interior. Diaz had so carefully concealed his identity that he prac.iced a manner of walking which resembled that of the peons and was able even to walk with bow legs. He shaved off his monstache. At last Diaz and his com pany reached a camp of Caranza soldiers and were intercepted To the commander of the soldiers they said that they were fishermen and that their vessel had been lost in a gale, but that they had been able at last to reach shore Furthermore, they said that they were anxious to get across the Rio Grande river into Texas, but the commander told them that Mex
 ico City was the place for them, for they could find employment in plenty there. Still persistng in their desire to go to Texas, although they really wanted to get to Mexico City, they were neverthe- less with great but feigned reluctance on their part put upon train which brought them at last to the City of Mex ico. Still they were unrecognized. Their arrival at Mexico City attracted no at- tention. Diaz himself, who was per sonally well known and who had been superintendent of the police, walked the streets unmofested, it being presumed that he was a peon. He sought accom- modations in hotel. because within door or two of that hotel there dwelt physician whom Diaz knew to be se-
 cret member of his own party. In order

SNOWBOUND LITTLE ROCK
 WANTS SNOW SHOVELERS

Little Rock, Jan. 18.-"100 Men Wanted to Shovel Snow. 30 cents an Hour" This is the unusual sign that is posted on Main street. And the fact that the number of men who have applied for work is far short of one hundred is proof that the army of the unemployed is a very small quantity these days. Thirty cents an hour and pair of rubber boots is the price that all have demanded of the city, the street railway, and others who are interested in the removal of the snow from the sidewalks and streets.
 Never before in the history of the city have such conditions existed. The snow has now been on the ground for seven days, and very little of it has melted. It lies from six inches to two feet deep all over the city. The street railway is just beginning to open up it's lines, and in some of the suburban districts the cars will not be running until next week. unless there should be a sudden thaw.

OBEY ORDER
 IN FACE OF
 HARDSH|Ps
New York Stock Exchange Re- mains Open While Many Stores Will Continue Business at Least for the Day.

New York, Jan. 18.-New York to- day entered upon the five days indus trial suspension period somewhat be- wildered because of lack of authori- tative information concerning details of the operation of the coal conserva- tion orders, but determined neverthe- less to accept periodically whatever hardships may come.
 Albert H. Wiggin, state administra- tor, admitted he was not sure who would see that the orders were obey ed. He declared that the success of the plan rested largely on the "con- science" of the people.
 While merchants associations and industrial organizations joined in a mighty chorus of protest before the order actually was promulgated at Washington, there was a noticeable absence of criticism when the decree became effective. The New York Ex- change decided to remain open, even if it's members had to wear over- coats and gloves, while hundreds of retail establishments and big depart. ment stores planned to continue busi. ness as usual at least for the day. Labor leaders, while deploring the orders, asserted their loyalty to the government, and made arrangement. to raise funds for the relief of those thrown out of work. A million work. CTS will lose $1o,OOO,OOO during the period in New York city alone, accord ing to some of the estimates.

TO GET TOGETHER FOR
 CONSERVATION OF FUEL

Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-The Fuel Ad- ministration, the wholesale and retail coal dealers. and the consumers are trying to get together on methods for the conservation of fuel. They held a conference yesterday with Fuel Ad- ministrator Couch, who has taken hold of the situation with determination to bring order out of the chaos that has existed, to the end that there may be no suffering on account of a lack of fuel.
 There are several points that are being emphasized:
 The supply of coal is limited, but the demands on account of the war are greatly increased
 The people generally have not been educated to the necessity of conserva- tion, but have been very wasteful.
 The use of gas and coal has dis couraged the use of wood as a fuel, although Arkansas is one of the great est wood states of the Union.
 In the cities and towns dependent on gas, the consumers have made no provision for an emergency supply of fuel, and in consequence they have not been prepared.
 The use of wood must be encour aged, emergency supplies of fuel must be provided during the spring and summer for the following winter, and coal must be conserved in Arkansas for the use of the government and essential industries elsewhere to help win the war.
 The condition is serious, but the people can improve it.
