ONE DEAD AND ONE MAY DIE
 IN SHOOTING
Bob Fowler, Wealthy Man of Earle, and J. Fl. Ham melt Shot by Deputy Sheriff Donnahoe.

Earle, Ark, Dec. 23.-Bob Fow- Ter, wealthy land owner of this county, is dead and J. H. Hammett, prominent real estate man, probab- ly will die as a result of being shot here by Deputy Sheriff Jim Don- nahoe about o'clock last night. Mayor Dickson was present at the time.
 The shooting took place in front of the Earle Gin and Mercantile Company. Reports of the affair are hard to obtain. One vefsion of it says that Mayor Dickson had con fiscated a jug of whiskey, which is said to have belonged to Fowler and .Hammett. They were trying to take it from him, it is charged, and Deputy Donnahoe, who was standing near, is said to have open ed fire on the two.
 Fowler was shot through the heart and died instantly. Hammett was shot through the left back and one arm. He fell against a tele- phone post and cried out, My God, Jim, what are you doing" Donna hoe paid no heed, it is alleged and fired again, Hammett throwing up his arm and receiving the second bullet in it,
 Donnahoe telephoned Sheriff W. l.. Fish at Marion, telling him what had happened Donnahoe could not be located last night and it was thought he may have gone to Mar ion to surrender himself.
 Mayor Dickson had made no state ment early last night and could not be found.

ESTIMATE PROFITS ON
 MARRIAGE
Londoners Figure How Much Tradesnden and
 Workers Will Be Reliev- ed by Princess'l Wedding.
(By The United Press)

London, Dec. 23.--No event in England these days, even the en- gagement of King George's daugb- ter, can escape attention from its probable effect on the business and unemployment situation.
 And so London has started to fig ure just how much the manufac- turers, tradesmen and workers are going to be relieved by the coming marriage of Princess Mary to Wis., count Lascelles. It has been fig ured for instance, that the house furnishing trade, will profit imme- diately Queen Mary, it is report ed, has twice visited Chesterfield House, the stately residence of Las cellcs and the prospective home of his bride-to-be. The queen decided, in these two inspections, that the royal daughter would want new fixins. so the house will be refur- nished almost throughout, from the door-mat to the ice box. -
 But the furniture trade is not ! the only one that scents profit. More important than that are the orders for new gowns, millinery, hosiery and boots that will be show cred upon the women's outfitting
 establishments. First, of course, comes the Princess trousseau.
 Costumes for the wedding cere- mony, when it is considered that
 between two and three thousand
 guests are expected, will mount into
 immense figures. These orders will
 come from members of the peeragc,
 the diplomatic corps and leading l figures in the church, the army and navy and the air force. | The jewelry trade, too, will bene- fit. Especially is there expected 3

At a meeting of the Paragould school board held today the resig. nation of Supt. J. w. Ramsey, who is now serving his sixth year as city superintendent of schools, was accepted by the board. Prof. Ram sey requested that the board release him as soon after the first of the year as suitable arrangements could be made for his successor, in order that ho may take up his duties as superintendent of schools in Hell ena, position to which he was chosen yesterday. Prof. Ramsey will succeed Supt. +. B. Tucker at Helena, who in turn succeeds J. J. Harrison as director of the Forward Education Movement and field worker for the Arkansas Con- mission.
 In commenting on the matter of his resignation, this afternoon Prof. Ramsey said: During my tenure as superintendent in Paragould, since 1916, my relations with the board of education, the teachers and the public generally have been very pleasant indeed, and I regret very much to contemplate the breaking of ties of friendship that it has been the good fortune of Mrs. Ram sey and myself to make, but an op- portunity for a larger field of ser vice has presented itself carrying with it a larger salary and more tenable working conditions, and l feel it would be an injustice to my family and my professional advance ment for me to decline the offer y
 During the administration of Supt. Ramsey a number of changes of a progressive nature have been con- summated for the betterment of the Paragould schools, such as the stand ardiZation of the high school course of study so that the high school has been continuously for tho past six years accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Second ary Schools, addition and develop ment of a commercial course and a teacher training department for the high school, raising standard Of qualifications of teachers, high school enrolment almost doubled, size of senior classes increased more than one hundred per cent, large increase in the number of high school graduates attending college, organization of high school savings bank, organization of three active School Improvement Associations, departmental work introduced in the grammar schools above the fourth grade, the use of standard educational and mental tests foI the benefit Of backward and accel- erated children, encouragement oi

 Prof. Ramsey has been actively identified with other organizations of the city and state, being one ot the charter members and secretary of the Paragould Rotary Club, q member of the local Masonic lodge and the. Arkansas Scottish Rite Ma sorry, a member of tho First Bap- tist church, active in Boy Scout work, president of the Arkansas Athletic Association and Chairman of the Arkansas Illiteracy Commits sion.
 The announcement of Prof. Ram seyss resignation and that he and his estimable family are soon to move their residence from Para gould will be received with distinct regret by a very large number of admiring friends; also the an nouncement will be read with sur prise as Prof. Ramsey's activities in community affairs as well as educational matters have been such that he has been regarded as sort of permanent factor in the com munity's life. Few men have ex- hibited greater degree of enter prise in the affairs of the com munity than Prof. Ramsey has shown the city during his residence of six years in Paragould.
 Brilliant of mind, a veritable dy- namo of progressive energy and en- terprising ideas, Prof. Ramsey is the type of man who will forge to the forefront and the enlarged field of activity as represented in the city of Helena will afford him a valuable opportunity for further de velopment and progress i'll his pro- fession. While all may not every time agree with him upon issues as they arise in affairs of life, yet his advancement in his profession is indicative of the essential abil- ity that propels. The Daily Press most heartily commends him to the citizenship of Helena as being an educator-leade of the unusual and ferceful order, and a man whose good influence will be felt in the
 better social strata of that com munity.

The city water commissioners q

c The city water commissioners Of the new district No. 3, proposing an enlarged water system for the city, have been ruled against in chancery court. Judge Wheatley yesterday afternoon at Jonesboro rendered a decision by which Attor- neys Huddleston and Randy, repre- senting the remonstrants, have won their contention that the act of tho commissioners through the board of aldermen in creating the district as set out in the approved proposal to provide the system was confisca- tory and accordingly overruled The city was represented in the case by Attorneys Block & Kirseh.
 In the opinion of the court, the new district cannot legally take over the property of the old districts Nos. 1 and 2; that no provision was made for compensating those dis tricts for the property ow',ers had paid for; that to thus appropriate said property would be unconstitu- tional. Judge Wheatley reviewed the case in three closely typewrite- ten pages.
 The new water district was creat- ed through the board of aldermen during the summer months and it was proposed to sell approximately $140,000 worth of bonds for the purpose of providing means with

N. s N. A. HAS
 UNIQUE PLAN
 TOPAY LABOR
Railroad Proposes to Start Men on Reduced Wages, Advancing Scale as Earn ings Increase.

Chicago, Dec. 23.--Proposing a unique plan of lower wages to en- able the road to begin operations once more with a promise to en- ployes of additional pay from any surplus earnings above expenses at the end of the year, the Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad has brought it's troubles to the United States railroad labor board for solu- tion.
 Through J. c. Murray, receiver and general manager of the road, the proposition was made to cut wages 25 per cent below the pres- ent scale set by the board, to re- sume operations, and if, after op- erating expenses, taxes and interest are paid, there is any surplus, it is to be divided among the employees up to the existing scale of wages on other roads.
 The road, which runs 36S miles from Joplin, Mo-, to Helena, Ark, suspended operation July S1, 1921. The reduced wage proposition was made to representatives Of all rail- road unions having membership on the road some time ago, but at final conferences Oct. 10, the roads proposition was turned down.
 MT. Murray brought -....c road s difficulties to the board foIlows" the failure to reach an agreement with his former employees. As an alternative, he asks that he be al- lowed to onerate an open shop.

which to construct the new district, embracing all of the city. It Was regarded by the city officials that Ethe present water system was in- Eadequate to meet the requirements iof the city and that ill view of the Idilapidated condition of the pres lent system tho town could no long Ter safely continue with it's service.
 Following the assessment of the property for the purpose of arriving tat an approximate valuation of the property to be served under tho proposed new system, number of citizens remonstrated upon the grounds that the proposed new dis ltrict was too expensive; that it was unnecessarily large and that it would be an injustice to the prop Ierty owners who had paid for the two other districts to not receive due compensation for the material and construction cost of the system now in use.
 It is presumed the case will be taken to the state supreme court by the attorneys representing the city through it's water commissioners and it likely will be early spring before a final disposition of the cause will be determined Confidence of win ming is expressed by both sides.
 The new district was created un- der the terms of special act of the statls legislature.

FAYETTEVILLE
 IS DELIGHTED
 WITH OIL WELL
Drillers Are Setting Casing at 1247 Feet After E.x- periencing a Good Show ing of Liquid.

 Citizens of Blytheville are be- ginning to take seriously the pros poets of a real, producing oil well. It is said the showing encountered at a depth of 1247 feet several days ago is very encouraging and the promoters of the test seem to feel confident they will bring in" a producer of from 10 to 100 barrel per day capacity. The first of. this week casing. was ordered out of Memphis and the drillers are now engaged in setting the string" " according to late reports from the we'll
 The Blytheville Courier this week published news report of the de- velopment project, announcing that the citizens generally are much en- couraged over the indications. The Courier says:
 "The promoters have given out no statement for publication, but say they are exceedingly well pleas ed with the prospects. They say they never saw better prospects with good oil showing. The con iition of the old well precludes any calculation as to what capacity they will have. With the small casing set they will be able to shut off the water and gas, and clean the we'll and pump the oil without fear of the walls caving and blocking the work.
 "Mr. Whitlock, the geologist, says he never saw finer prospects and le was the first man to say oil was n the Fl Dorado field. He took 5O,00O acres of leases there long before the field was developed, but could not get assistance in financ- ng it. He says the shallow depth here at which oil and gas was ac- tually struck means the Blythe yille field is ill class by itself,

It is problematical, however, | what capacity well we will have, | whether five, ten, fifty or hundred l barrel well or a gusher. With the undisputed flow of gas he would not
 be surprised at gusher. The gas | ,bounds and has given them no lit l tic concern. In fact it is barely possible that the gas may blow in
 the walls of the well any minute and wreck the well. The mudding process is continued day and night
 now to prevent this, until the cas- l ing is set.
 "The promoters ask that no un-
 lue excitement be occasioned from

 not want to excite the public un- til they are sure what they have
