HINES REQUESTS HELP OF PUBLIC
 IN RAIL TlE-UP
Avoid Travel, Is Message That He Gives to All During the
 Emergency.
HEAVY CURTAILMENT
 OF TRAINS TONIGHT
Travel Conditions Will Be Difficult and Unsatisfactory, Director General Warns-HOliday
 Rush Difficulty.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Warning to the public that railway travel will be difficult and unsatisfactory until the coal strike emergency has pass- ed, and should be avoided wherever possible" was issued tonight by Dir ector General Hines of the railroad administration.
 Many trains are to be taken off to conserve coal, parlor car service is to be sharply curtailed and persons forced to undertake journeys should consult railroad agents as to sva,l. able trains before arranging their plans, the statement said
 "The shortage of coal has reached a point where it is vitally necessary to reduce passenger train service and to call upon the public to assume the inconvenience which this action will inevitably entail' MT. Hines said.
 Certain passenger trains will be annulled and large number of par Tor cars will temporarily be discon- tinued, These changes will become effective in the western region De- cember 8, in the south eastern region December 9 and in the wstern and Allegheny region on December 10. The average seating capacity of parlor car is less than half the average seat ing capacity of coach. This step is taken for the purpose of providing the maximum seating capacity con- sistent with the necessary reduction in train mileage.
 'It is the duty of the railroad ad- ministration to warn the public that until this emergency has passed, travel conditions will be difficult and unsatisfactory and to urge every one who could possibly do so to refrain from travel. It is unfortunate that the emergency comes as the holiday season approaches but it is hoped and believed that our people will appreciate the gravity of the situa- tion and will give full and cheerful cooperation"

U,S.PLANS TO DETERMINE WHO
 FREED JENKINS
Whether Diplomatic Battle Has Been Won or Lost Depends
 Upon Inquiry.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Development today left it still in doubt whether i Mexican officials really complied with the request of the United States In releasing William o. Jenkins, the American consular agent, whose in: prisonment at Puebla brought rela- tions between the two governments to critical pass.
 Press dispatches that the release was accomplished only after bail had been furnished were not covered in official advices to the state depart ment, which said that Jenkins had re- ported himself entirely ignorant of the manner in which he was liberated and that he was making an investiga- | tion on his own account
 Upon the answer to this question seems to hinge whether the sharp diplomatic correspondence on the sub. ject is to be renewed, or the incident permitted to pass into history. | Meantime, the fact of the release itself apparently has relieved much of the tension of Mexican affairs both at the state department and in the senate. where ureasiness over re- cent developments Aad produced a determined movement to ask for 2 severence of diplomatic relations. The resolution of Senator Fall, re- publican, New Mexico, requesting a diplomatic break, was considered at an afternoon conference of republi- can members of the foreign relations committee, and it was decided not to press the proposal for action until President Wilson had sent to the com mittee the memorandum of advices he promised Senator Fall yesterday at the White House conference.
 Probe Release.
 It was indicated that there was some difference of opinion among the republican senators as to the exped- iency as to the resolution and that if the president expressed disapproval it might not be pressed for action. The full committee will meet aagin Mon- day.
 In trying to establish the facts be- hind Jenkins release ,the state. de- partment is running down a 'sus- pected connection between J. Salter Hansen, said to have furnished bail for the consular agent. and the Mexican government. Officials said Hansen was reported to have had some association with Luis Cabrera, Carranza's finance minister, and that bail might have been forwarded to Puebla as the least embarrassing method by which the Mexico City of ficials could extricate themselves from the situation.
 While the department investiga- tio his proceeding, officials here still are waiting for Carranza's reply to the American request last sent for Jenkins release. Reports some days ago indicated that it was in prepara- tion, but tonight it had not been re- ceived at the department.

SIX ARRESTS ON INDICTMENTS BY
 GRAND JURORS
l. T. Hudson Charged With Murder in Connection With
 Killing of Waterman.
MOORE AND MASON
 FACE ASSAULT CHARGE
Hudson Steed, Who Failed to Serve With Other Youths During War, and Wife, Arrested for
 Vagrancy.

Six arrests yesterday by Deputy Sheriff J. l.. McBurnett on warrants issued on indictments returned Fri day by the grand jury were:
 J. T. Hudson, white watchman
 at the J. F. Mcintyre and sons
 mill, charged with the murder of
 John Cogbill, colored watchman
 at the Mcintyre mill. Hudson
 was released on bond of $1,000.
 Jim Moore, colored police of-
 ficer, and Jim Mason, colored
 owner of a restaurant and con-
 fectionary on State street,
 charged with assault to kill on
 "Dummy" Mclaughlin, negro,
 on Thanksgiving night. Moore
 was released on bond of $500,
 and Mason on bond of $1,O00.
 Hudson Steed and wife, white,
 arrested on charges of vagrancy.
 They were released on bonds of
 $500 each.
 Whitlock Pointer, negro,
 charged with assault to kill on
 Aaron Gardner, negro. Point
 CTS bond wa fixed at $1,000.
 The killing of Cogbill by Hudson occurred at the Mcintyre mill dur ing the summer. Hudson had been assaulted a few nights before, and he charged that Cogbill was his as- sailant, and that Cogbill made a threatening move as he fired the shots which killed the negro, who was said to have been armed at the time. Both men were employed as watchmen at the mill.
 The indictments against Moore and Mason grow out of the wounding of Mclaughlin at Mason's place, when Mclaughlin was shot through the nose by Moore. Mclaughlin, a deaf mute, became intoxicated on Jamaica ginger, raised row, and Moore was summoned to arrest him. In the fight that followed the negro was shot. He was out of the hospital in a few days.
 Hudson Steed is well-known about town. He is one of the few Pine Bluff youths of his age who did not serve with the colors during the war. He registered in the IS to 45 draft, and had been selected for service when the armistice was signed.
 The shooting of Gardner by Point CT was side issue to "crap game. v Pointer pawned a watch and pistol with Gardner, and promptly lost the money. His demand for the return of the articles pawned without pay ment of the debt being refused, Point CT is said to have obtained a shotgun and fired a charge of buckshot into Gardner's back and shoulders.
 Mennefield Brown, negro, arrested Dy Constable Brannon, and Evan Pfendleton, Alfred Miller and Fred Jones'. negroes arrested by the police, w, were indicted on charges of robbery. They are in jail. Others who are In Jail and who were indicted are Eddie Brinkley. two charges of grand larceny; Robert Black, grand larceny and Earl Craig, grand lar- ceny.
 1, The four negroes indicted for rob- Dery are believed to be the highway men who held up and robbed several persons here about two weeks ago.

Fullness at the hips will be a feature of many of the smart spring suits.
 Sleeves will fit snugly and close to the tailored suits.
 Sport suits for spring and summer wear are recommended. Novel belts of leather and metal, and new type of collar-long slender an drolling-will be a detail of the suits. The Lord Byron and Peter Pan designs will be popular.
 The newest wrap for women is not unlike the old roman toga, a gracefull enveloping garment that can be tucked up and pulled together.
 "Prices of coats, suits and skirts will stay up," said Michael Prinz of Cleveland, chairman of the style committee.
