FOUR TRAINS ON COTTON BELTT0
 B: TAKEN OFF Night Memphis and Texarkana Trains Go; Two to Little
 Rock Cancelled. STORES OPEN FROM
 3 TO 9 TODAY ONLY Special Dispensation Will Be Asked Permitting Local Retail Estab-
 lishments To Remain
 Open Until 6.

Pine Bluff was brought face-to- face with coal strike regulations last night when the Cotton Belt railway announced the cancellation, effective Monday, of four trains. The Iron Mountain prepared to take similar action and the Pine Bluff merchants got ready to begin a shortened day while the emergency lasts.
 Trains to be taken off by the Cot ton Belt are No. 3 and 4, the Mem- phis-Dallas trains, which come thru Pine Bluff, when they are on time, at 2:2O and 1:35 a. m. Trains No. 431 and No. 432, running between Pine Bluff and Little Rock, also will be cancelled.
 The retail stores of Pine Bluff, with the exception of drug stores, will open at o'clock this morning and will remain open until 9 to- night, it being Saturday. Other nights, under the regulations, the stores will be compelled to close at 5 D. m., tho it is probable that dis pensation will be obtained and the closing hour extended to 6 o'clock. Secretary E. B. Bloom of the Cham Der of Commerce, after called meeting of chamber members and merchants yesterday, announced that the closing law would be complied with, but that message to the re- gional director had been prepared and would go forward today, thru Fuel Administrator Couch, asking that the closing hour here be extended to 6 o'clock, inasmuch as the retail es- tablshments here use gas instead of coal.

Iron Mountain Status.

The Cotton Belt railway changes give Pine Bluff only two main line trains from Memphis to Texarkana. These are 1 and 2, both of which reach Pine Bluff in the afternoon. There also will be one Cotton Belt train to and one from Little Rock each day.
 Iron Mountain changes may not apply specifically to Pine Bluff. An advertisement, from the Iron Moun- tain road yesterday stated that prep arations should be made for cancel lations. but St. Louis dispatches last night did not show that trains here are affected.
 These dispatches in part said:
 "B. F. Bush, southwestern region- a director of railroads. asserted that the cnrtailment of passenger service cno-third in the region. effective at r,idnioht Sunday. would eliminate 10000 train miles and result in the sav'n" of thousands of tons of coal daily"
 The more important eliminatiops of the Missouri Pacific follow:
 "The two daily Sunshine spe- cials," taking in St. Louis, Little Rock. Fl Paso San Antonio and Galveston; four between St. Louis and Kansas City; and one each be- tween Kansas City and Joplin, Mo-, and Memphis and Little Rock.
 "The Texas specials of the St. Louis and San Francisco and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, will be dropped. These trains run from St. Louis to Central Texas and take in all intermediate points. The 'Fris- co.'s Texan operated from here to Paris, Tex, also will be eliminated. Both lines also announced the cur- tailment of many accommodation trains."
 c. B. Announcement.
 The "white way" lights were turn ed off at 9:30 last night, as part of the fuel conservation program here. How long this will obtain is prob- lematical. The Pine Bluff con- pany's powerhouse, which also sup plies electric power for several other towns. is equipped to burn gas, coal and oil. The two fuels last men, toned are resorted to in extreme cold weather, that domestic consumers of gas may have the benefit of the en- tire supply furnished by the Arkan- sas Natural Gas company.

 "A large number of passenger trains will be discontinued after Sunday December ', 1919, and schedules of some remaining trains changed on all railroads in the South western region, which is the terri- tory St. Louis.

child reached the gate, the dog blocked
his way, gently but firmly. For any
