Noted Writer Finds Both Men Had Women Ad- mirers-Assassins'
 Fury Tepmted.
By IMAGERY REX, International News Ser>l C Si%ff
 Correspondent.


 New York, Feb. 14.-It is easy for the enemy of man who lives secretly to murder him unseen. In mysterious manner two men who ate the secret bread of pleasure and drank sweet stolen waters have died by the fury of assassins still unknown.
 The career of William Desmond Taylor, slain movie director, in life and death paralleled that of Jim EWell, so strangely shot down in his New York home two years ago.
 Each lived alone, and alone each Was attacked. From both Taylor and Elwell, in their last moments, someone fled
 Men who shun daylight are apt to make themselves tempting targets for marksmen in the dark
 Taylor's leaye-taking of life was just as mysterious as his inexplica- hle departure in 1908 from his wife and child and just as unaccountable as his later change of name, for the dead man was known originally as William Cunningham Deane-Tanner.
 Who Was Slayer?
 Who could have arranged Taylor's clandestine rendezvous with death?
 Suspicion goes over the list of possibilities. There is, for instance, Edward F, Sands, the dead mans valet, who robbed his master and whom. one of the feminine stars says, Taylor vowed to kill at sight. And there are the men who are in tercsted in the women Taylor knew.
 Will one of the brilliant stars of that glamorOus world, whose little suns are Cooper Hewitts, shoot down to earth and be obliterated in the tragedy?
 Like his prototype Elwell, Taylor

 New York, Feb. 14.-Five hundred monkeys, imported as needed from South America and Africa, were used during the last three years in experi- ments in which the new vac cine against pneumonia was developed, according to Dr. William 1T. Park, of the Health Department. The monkeys were used as part of a nation wide campaign of research work on the subject of in- fluenza and pneumonia.
 Among other things the ex- periments showed that the in- visible, unidentified organism which causes flu" can pass through a stone wall.
 The experiments were con ducted principally by the Pub lie Health Service in Wash ington and by the local Health Department.

VIRGIL PETITE ADDRESSES THE
 LOCAL ROPES
Arkansas Premier Booster Delivers Eloquent Talk in Paragould - Points Out Our Needs.
(From Tucsray's Dany)


 Hon. Virgil C. Petite, the chief booster of Arkansas industrial in terosts. yice-president of the Eng land National Bank of Little Rock, ment Association, and otherwise identified with the commercial in terests of the state, delivered a most interesting and enlightened address before the local Rotary club upon the occasion of it's luncheon at the First Methodist church today. His remarks were most heartily re- ceiyed and the speaker more than ever convinced Paragouldians that Arkansas has no greater force in exploiting it's resources than in the person of Mir. Petite. His review of the states industrial interests was very interesting, indeed. His talk was one of the most enthusi- astic that has featured at Ro- tary gathering.
 M Petite introduced Arkansas to the Rotarians and long before he was through he had them all, na- lives and immigrants, feeling per fectly at home MT. Petite started with the average Rotarian laboring under the delusion that he knew Arkansas. and was proud of it, but before he had fairly started the sneaker convinced his hearers that they had been laboring under a mere dclusion, and the Arkansas they thought they knew was but the outer chamber MT. Petite un- folded a wonderful panorama of a wonderful state, leaving his aud fence with a more thorough under standing of the resources of Arkan- sas and its possibilities, and de- termination to play part in bring ing the true Arkansas before the world.
 Starting with the attack of the New York Times on Arkansas se- curities, MT. Petite read criticism after criticism of the state all based upon a rather unpopular conception of a swampy, malaria-ridden com monwealth. The speaker dwelt at length on the different attacks, all so apparently well timed. to show there was somewhere an organized propaganda against the state which would go on growing more and more vicious, unless concerted ac- ton was taken to c0untcract it. This, Mr. Petite said. was the sole object of the Arkansas Advance mont Association. He stated that the attacks made on the state would not be answered, nor would any attention be paid to them, other than to write dignified letter to the offending publication, showing where facts would be just as well suited for the purposes of a feature story, and that should the publication at any time desire facts, they can be secured and verified in Such way lhdt the puDilcalloh will feel it is doing a great com monwcalth justice instead of as saultins if from behind. MT. Petite informed the Rotarians that a staff of journalists was being as sembled. and a field photographer had been engaged, to travel over the entire state, picking up every feature story or picture that could be used to advantage In addition

OF FUNDS RECOVERED BY
 MISS. COUNTY
Stockholders of Defunct Bank of Blytheville Make Payment to County Treas urer.

BlYtheville, Feb. 11.-Drectors and stockholders of the defunct Bank Of Blytheville have paid Mis- sisSippi county a genuine though enforced dividend. Suit has been instituted against them Tor county funds that were in the closed n stitution at the time of it's failure, judgment secured in Chancery Court and the decision affirmed in Su preme Court. The major portion of this judgment has just been col- lected and the proceeds turned over to County Treasurer Curtis J. Lit tie for distribution into channels for which it was intended and from which it was diverted when caught in the banks failure.
 Moneys in the bank at the time of it's closing whcih were recovered by the suit include S12,S62.19 of the general school fund, $3.215.50 of the general road fund, all being secured from the 1919 tax collec tions. Balance of $3,652.32 city of Blytheville taxes for 1919; S262,05, city of Leachville taxes for 1919; $2S1S9, town of Manila, taxes for 1919; $9165, town of Dell, 1919 taxes, and $162.46, fUwn of Dell. 1920 taxes.
 Defendants in the suit still owe $7,334.01 as balance on the judg ment against them. This amount also represents various 1919 taxes in the bank when it failed March 10, 1920.
 County Treasurer Little also had turned over to him yesterday by tire collector. rents from seven school sections, totaling more than $11, 900. This school land rent is applied to the maintenance of schools in the districts where the lands are To- cated. With this application of rent on the school fund, continuance of the planned courses is assured. The treasurer has notified all districts concerned that the money is now available.

 MT. Duncan, till the first of the year, had been conducting store for the Singer Sewing Machine Company at Truman. Since the store was closed up few weeks ago the man had been with his family in Harrisburg and his tragic ending is attributed to despondency as result of business reverses. It is said he was formerly very pros- porous, having been engaged in the drug business and later in the grocery business at Harrisburg. For several years he was engaged in the drug line at Wynne.
 He is survived by wife and sev- eral children. Two daughters are employed in a department store in Memphis. He was a sonin-law of Thos Stone, retired business man of Poinsett county.

hour thlS morning.
 to this the leading writers of the United States are being brought to Arkansas, not for the purpose of system of propaganda, for any such intimation would scare them away, but that they might be shown some of the wonders of the Wonder State.
 Many clippings were read by Mr. Petite, showing a woeful lack of knowledge about Arkansas by the writers. Most of them were writ ten in an alleged humorous vein, but all with such a sting that the indignation of the Rotarians was aroused, and their determination to get behind the Arkansas Advance ment Association and force the world to admit Arkansas to the front rank of states, where it be- longs, was renewed with expres- sions of much strength.
 Mir. Petite had figures to show that Arkansas meets its obligations more promptly than many of the northern states, and when it comes to improvement district taxes the amount of delinquencies amounted to only a small fraction of one per cent, record no state has ever eXcelled.
 A number of large parties will pass through Arkansas this month, or early in February, according to Mir. Petite, and arrangements are being made to provide side trips for these. One is an excursion of 300 residents of the Ohio Valley, who are making the trip to Mardi Gras, in New Orleans, on the steamer Queen City. These will be taken by automobile over a number of the counties along the Mississippi. Ma tional and international associations are holding their annual conven- tions in Hot Springs, and these too, will offer a wonderful oppor- tunity for sending home the true story of Arkansas. but personally sighting the visitors. instead of having the story told to them.
 According to Mr. Petite about two-thirds of the state has been visited by officials of the Arkansas Advancement Association, and coun- ty units organized. This associa- tion is composed almost entirely of men who are periodically working for their state. It has big men of the state doing the organization work, and no section is to be sighted. The plan is to raise $100,000 the first year. thus mak- ing possible a well organized and concerted propaganda in the inter- est of Arkansas, one that will change the impression outsiders have of the state, and at the same time invite the proper kind of peo- pie to come to Arkansas and make investments. Joe Bertig is local vice-president of the organization for Greene county. Peck Ritter is chairman for the First Congressional District. and w. F. Kirsch is Green county chairman.
 A. w. Parke, of the Parke- Harper News Service of Little Rock, and who is identified with number of class publications of the state, and booster of Arkansas generally, is accompanying MT. Petite upon his visits to points in Northeast Arkan- sas. Mr. Parke is, along with MT. Petite, one of the real vital forces in presenting the real Arkansas to the outside world and is doing most valuable work. He and Mr. Petite constitute team of workers that lis doing invaluable service toward the advancement of the state.
