Keever declared. it was the practice of
statesmen in large offices to spend sew
eral weeks in preparation. with par
ticular emphasis on inspection and
study of the property and territories
in which they desire to specialize.
Turning to the problem Of satisfied
clients, the lecturer declared that
salesmen should make a thorough
study Of the prospects requirements,
his ideas, his reasons, circumstances
and the particular desire he has in
regard to his future home.
Offer Few Good Types.
Rather than get a large array of
houses. the speaker urged that sales
men should, after studying their eli
ents requirements, find out a few
homes that might meet these require
ments. That the salesman should
make appointments at convenient
times, and always with the husband
and wife or others interested at one
time. He suggested that the client
should be taken to the property by
the most interesting route, so that
the statesmen can point out the places
of interest, such as churches. schools
and transportation facilities.
Mr.. Mckeever stressed the idea that
it is not good policy for a salesman
to do too much talking, but that he

general requirements for a sale are

in the property and action.
Mr.. McKeever also stated that a
very important element in property
salesmanship Is a study of the mo-
tives of the client, to decide If he is
desirous of purchasing property for
hts home, for investment. for busi-
ness purposes or for resale.
He explained that the sale of in

The responsibility Of real estate
statesmen in creating confidence in the

the requirements necessary for his

that in order to properly serve clients

gard to why certain taxes are levied
and how they are levied and what fu-
ture prospects there are in regard to

its schools, transportation facilities,
etc, midst be thoroughly studied.
Specializing Is Stressed.
Mr.. McKeever brought to the atten-
ton of the class the modern ten
dency of specializing on the part of
statesmen. This, he said, is due largely
to the great growth of metropolitan
areas which have become so big that
no one man can efficiently handle
property of every type in every loca-
ton. The salesman usually specialiZes
in residential properties, investment
properties or business properties,
making a study Of these so that they
may appear before the public and act
on behalf of their clients as experts.
The general public, he explained, de-
sired the advice of experts.

SHERIFF AND DRY
 AGENT ARE KILLED
Fatal Revolver Duel on Virginia
 Courthouse Steps

Clintwood. Va, Aug. g LP - A sheriff and state prohibition agent were dead here today as the result of revolver duel on the steps of the Dickenson county court house which came as the cli- max of a five year disagreement over land deal that had been famed anew by an argument over the recent Virginia primary.
 c. Pridemore Fleming, Dicken- son sheriff, died soon after the duel with a bullet near his heart. James s. Mullins, the dry agent, suc- cumbed last night from three wounds.
 A group of villagers, gathered on the court house steps for their usual evertng talk, were ordered away by the sheriff. All but Null lins obeyed, and witnesses said the sheriff opened fire on the agent, who had only one arm. Mullins re- treated up the steps, endeavoring to draw his revolver. He sought protection behind a stone column, but was struck in the abdomen, arm and face. Fleming turned and walked away and witnesses say that Mullins fired the shot which struck the sheriff. He fell uncon- scious and died 30 minutes later.
 Fleming vas 50 years old and serving his second term as sheriff. He also conducted the Fleming ho- tel. His widow and three children survive. Mullins was 45 and had been connected with the state pro- hibition force for five years. His widow and eight children survive.

ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
 POISONING MANS COFFEE
Bridgeporter Is Taken Into Custody After Four Months of
 SIeuthing.

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. H9 - While Theodore Dralus sits in his cell at the Fairfield county jail, un- able to furnish s10,O00 bonds, state police are contemplating the chain of evidence they have gath cred in their four months of painstaking efforts to solve a plot which seemed of slight importance since it led to no fatal poisoning results. Although Sergeant John c. Kelly has started on his vacation, his associate, Trooper Leo F. Car roll, is tightening the net about Dralus.
 Dralus was arrested yesterday charged with putting poison in the coffee bottle of his section boss, John McGuinn, of Long Hill, on April 23. The prisoner gave a com- plete confession to State Police Sergeant Kelly, Trooper Carroll and William Kearns of the states at- torney's office. He gave the investi- gators a box, which he said con- talned the poison he placed In the coffee last April. Dralus has a wife and seven children and is unable to furnish the bonds necessary for his release from jail.
 The men who investigated the crime had no clue to work on, and no witnesses to call upon and question. They had to work almost entirely in the dark, and the suc- cess of their efforts was shown when Dralus was arrested Saturday noon as he walked out Of the plant of the Bridgeport Brass company, and made no denial of the attempt on the life of the man he hated because of what he felt was unjust treatment.
