WHISTLES HIS
 WAY INTO THE
 COUNTY JAIL

Lonoke, Feb. 10.-J. c. Blassln- game, 25-year-old Lonoke county farmer, literally whistled his way into the hoosgow yesterday
 J. c. was summoned before the grand jury. The foreman asked him if it were true that he had gotten hold of some liquor during the last two years. J. c. replied in the af- firmative. He then asked where and how and under what circum- stances he got his hooch.
 There was moment of silence. The foreman pressed J. c. for an answer.
 Well, gentlemen, J. c. said, T really don't know who l got it from, You see, every once in a while hear somebody stop at my front gate and whistle, like this (demon- |strating), and when I go out don't find anything but some moon Ishine."
 The inquisitors were not satisfied with the explanation and J. C. was escorted before Judge George Wash ington Clark of Conway, who is presiding over circuit court here.
 J. C.. told his story to the judge
 My man, you've simply whistled your way into the county jail" or words to that effect, was Judge FClark's comment.
 The court summoned the bailiff and instructed him to incarcerate .J. c. until he could give the grand jury a more plausible explanation of where he got his mountain dew. F. c. is in the jailhouse today.
 Doll Butler, negro youth who an nounced he would plead self-de- fense when arraigned for grand larceny, changed his mind yesterday and pleaded guilty to the charge. Judge Clark gave him year in the pen. Doll explained that he was out hunting in the woods the other day and that a big hog ''took out after" him. He feared the hog ihissit NH Hili, SO ilc Ciup- tied both barrels of his shotgun into the animals head. It is al- legged that Doll carted the hogs car- cas home.
 The grand jury yesterday return ed 12 indictments, II of which charge felonies. This makes total of IS for the term, which began Monday. One of the bills returned yesterday morning accused H. c. Breshears, aged IS, of Cabot, of an offense against young girl. The youth promised the court he would marry the girl, and his case was postponed until the next term of court. He was released on bond of $2OO.

 Detroit, Feb. 10.-Police will take @ neutral attitude toward the meet ing on birth control in Auto Work CTS Hall scheduled for tonight, which Margaret Sanger, authority on that subject, will address, Police Commissioner Inches announces. While officers of that department will be present they will offer no interference so long as no law is violated, it was stated.
 The mass meeting will be a step toward the establishment of clinics, under the control of medical atl- thorities for the dissemination of contraceptive information, Mrs. Will liam A. McGraw, chairman of the Detroit committee on birth control, announces.
 "There is not statute in Michi- gan prohibiting such clinic" said Mrs. McGraw. 'We shall make no attempt to send such information through the mails.

 "I think we would all subscribe to the prevention of murder, and this birth-oontrol movement would do it. Our idea is to establish the cnnic under reputable doctors and nurses, and thus protect women from mid wives and abortionists.

REDUCTION
 IN TIE NAVY
 IS OPPOSED
Department Officials Will Fight Proposal to Cut Personnel to 5O,OOO-Will Ask FIarding's Aid.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The Navy Department has determined to enlist the aid of President Harding in determined resistance to the move ment in Congress for reducing the enlisted personnel of the navy to 50,000.
 Such reduction would not only force the United States navy out of proportion in the scheme of rela- tivity worked out in the naval treaty. but would cripple the service actually needed for peace time ac- tivities to say nothing of actually endangering national defense in emergencies.
 President Harding has assured Secretary Denby and chiefs of the navy bureaus that he would regard a reduction of enlisted personnel below S0,000 as a serious mistake
 and neglect of the national defense
Paragould soliphone., 1922-02-13

The King bill would make it 50,000.
 It can be said, however, that the American navy at the moment is in commissioned person nel particularly in higher grades. Unless the classes at the Naval Academy soon are cut down, the top-heaviness will apply to the sub ordinate grades as well.
 Ranking Officers Held Down.
 The Navy Department is holding down even now in the number of high ranking officers. For example there is provision by law for AS rear admirals, but only 34 had been com missioned-on January ]. There is provision for 220 captains as against 285 commissioned ITO lieutenant commanders, against 570 commits stoned, and 1878 lieutenants against ,232 commissioned.

MOVIE ACTRESS IN NERVOUS
 BREAKD0W N

Los Angeles. Feb. 11.-Complete nervous collapse of Miss Mabel Nor mand, disappearance of a Hollywood opium peddler, re-enactment of the murder of William Desmond Taylor, film director, and the search for 6 secret safety deposit box these things were yesterdays develop ments.
 Miss Normand, who was the last person who saw Taylor before he was shot down by the assassin, who went to his home few minutes before the murder to demand from him the letters she had written, who was once engaged to him, was to have been questioned by District Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine yesterday. But when he was about to summon her, he was told that she was ill, that two physicians were in attend anoe, that one of them had said she was not to be questioned by anyone, not even by Woolwine.
 Miss Normand has been in a pitt full state of health, it is said, ever since the day Taylor's body was cemetery. That day she swooned when she looked at her dead friends face.
 The letters she wrote to Taylor, letters searched for in vain for more than week until they were found in Gn old boot in Taylor's clothes press, came yesterday under the district attorneys scrutiny. He would not comment on them.
 It is probable that the letters will be returned to Miss Normand, after she has told her story and put it in writing
 Whether the letters played any part in the tragedy, these letters sprinkled with "Blessed Baby" and Dear Baby" phrases, whether they were cause of jealousy and of dread their possession a menace or proof of affection, Woolwine would not even hint.
 Mabel will be questioned even tually and also her chauffeur, who bears her out in her story that Tay- Tor came with her to her automobile when she left his home, and chatted with her few moments, and watch ed her as she rode away.
 Tragedy Is Re-enaoted.
 Woolwine and his staff went to the Taylor residence yesterday, and played out all the details of the murder, such as are known.
 The district attorneys chauffeur, Ammon Fisher, lay down on the floor where Taylor was found, arms at his side, feet together, face star ing up at tho ceiling. The chair was placed where it had been found, overturned, partly covering the legs.
 But there was no cocktail mixer on the table this time, no glasses of orange juice and gin.
 Woolwine left his chauffeur there, went out, leaving the door open,

walked to the curb where the Nor mand car had been parked and then returned. The visit to the house, the re-enacting and noting of all the details, even the slightest, took up considerable time.
 The disappearance of the drug seller has given the district attorney and the police new clew He is a man who knew Taylor well, and though Taylor had not the reputa- tion of drug user, it is said, this mysteriously peddler had much busi- ness with him.
 Perhaps Taylor was purchasing opium or morphine or heroin, or ether for some of the women wno could not procure it for themselves. Perhaps the man who is missing could give some information as to this, perhaps he knows about the murder.
 Drug peddlers, continually behind the scenes in the lives of picture players, confidants and boon com panions of their victims-can tell many things if they wish, that would help in the search for the murderer.
 The man in question is said to have been missed about the time Taylor's body was discovered
 Hunting for Deposit Box.
 Search is also being made for another safety deposit box in the belief that it holds important papers, stocks and bonds, secrets of 'the love cult" of unnatural men, will perhaps, perhaps letters from other women whose names have not yet entered the case. Friends of Taylor say he had safety deposit box downtown somewhere"
 Public Administrator Bryson is interested in locating this box if it exists. He is also interested i'll the report that Taylor had been about to purchase $3,000 worth of dia- monds from local jeweler at the time of his death.
 It is known that he drew $2,500 out of his bank on the day before his death, and that he redeposfted it on the following day. It is pos sible, the police say, that he in- tended to apply this sum as part payment on the diamonds. They de- clare that very big movie star went into the jewelry store that day to look at the diamonds, and they say the diamonds were not pur- chased. Perhaps the star did not think them fine enough.
 The police regard it as rather queer, though, that Taylor should take that much money out of the bank when he could more easily have written a check. The answer, they believe, is blacknail Black mailers do not take checks They demand currency Checks may be stopped.
 The police are not looking for Walter N. Underwood, alias w. S. Maddox, under arrest in Topeka, in connection with this case. He is wanted on a charge of embedding $1,000 but to say that he is Sands, the police assert, fig silly.
 Woolwine continued with his quiz into the night, summoning every body mentioned in the case prepar- ing to question big producers, big directors and big actors and big actresses.
