BELIEVE THOSE WANTED FOR CRIME WILL BE ARRESTED SHERIFFS OF SEVERAL COUN TIES MAKE INVESTIGATION OF SLAYING OF FEDERAL DE PARTMENT EMPLOYES (By AwwiatH Pre**> PICAYUNE, Miss., Feb. 20- Sheriffs of several counties who in vestigated the slaying of two federal department of agriculture employes here Thursday, believed today that the perpetrators of the crime would be arrested soon. They based this opinion on the fact that a description of one of the fugitives had been widely circulated. Curious residents of this vicinity, continued to inspect the spot abbfff eight mites from Picayune, where the bodies of William Malcolm Mingee and John Anderson McLemore were found by friends yesterday. The victims’ pockets were turned inside out and Mingee’s shoes had been re moved from his feet. A motor truck in which Mingee and McLemore left Picayune Thurs day on a hunting trip was found dam aged and deserted last night in Hat tiesburg, Miss., 60 miles from the place where the bodies were located. Sheriff Arthur Smith, of Pearl River county, learned that an unidentified white man purchased gasoline and food in McNeil several hours after the Picayune men are thought to have been slain. Thif man was riding in the stolen truck. He is believed by officers to have been one of a party of rum runners who killed and robbed Mingee and McLemore because they thought the hunters were prohibition agents. This theory remains to be proved. Mingee and McLemore were gradu ates of Mississippi A. hi. College, and are survived by their widows and one child each. They had been de tailed by the Bureau of Entonomol ogy of the department of agriculture to stop the ravages of the sweet po tato weevil in this section. Mingee was a native of Starkville, Miss., and McLemore was reared at Pittsboro. Both were active in civic and church affairs. Evidence To Be Heard On Monday Relative To Seizure of Vessel Evidence in connection with the seizure by local coast guard officers of the three masted schooner Fannie E. Prescott last summer will be heard by United Stales Commissioner Rodney Gwynn next Monday. It was learned at the local coast guard station that five of the material witnesses for the govern ment will be on hand to testify, ini eluding Chief Machinists’ Mate F. Blanchard, who was on the 299 when the Prescott was captured, and who will come from Cape May. New Jer sey to attend the hearing as a wit ness for the government.

The noted pianist has been spend ing much time at Florida points this season. While recognized as the world’s most illustrious pianist, Ignace Paderewski’s name will forever stand out in the history of the old world by his having been the first premier of Poland during the reconstruction days following the great World War. After the opening of the war with Germany, he devoted most of his time in concertising and speaking in be half of the sufferers of Poland, and led in the organization of the Polish republic in 1918, of which country he was made premier in 1919. His home is in Warsaw. The distinguished visitor will re main such short time in Key West! that a program of entertainment in honor of his presence here could not be arranged.

In New York last night President S.- Davies Warfield announced that the details of the expansion would not be made public until engineers have completed the newly drawn plans. When these engineers report “ve shall be glad to give the exact location of each unit in the new ad dition to the Seaboard Air Line and their relations to the system,” he said. “As has been said, the construction, the leased lines, the trackage and the cut offs to which allusion has been made, are designed to mould all lines of the Seaboard Air Line Railway into a compact railway system. We are shortening the mileage to two thirds of the important points reach ed by the Seaboard Rails and in so doing, we are engaged with our en gineering forces in selecting the best method to accomplish this result. As to the financing fat mind, there is awaited by the bankers the comple tion of these details, the negotiations President of Rotary Arrives Here STEAMER COMAL ADDED TO NEW STEAMER LINE VESSEL TO BE OPERATED BY GULF AND SOUTHERN STEAM SHIP COMPANY CALLING AT KEY WEST The S. S. Comal, Mallory boat, has been chartered by the Gulf and Southern Steamship Company, and will operate between New Orleans- Key West-Miami. The Comal left New Orleans Feb ruary 17 directly for Miami, and will not dock at Key West on the maiden trip. The next run will be made February 25 and the ship will dock at Key West at the Mallory line. Capt. Davidson is in charge of the Comal, which formerly made the run between New York and Key West. For (he past six months she has been operating between Tampa and New Orleans. For 30 years the Comal plied between New York and Key West, making regular trips between these two points. The Comal is practically the same size as the Concho, Mallory boat, operating between New York-Key W est-Galveston. The Comal has a 3,000 ton capacity and is capable of handling 84 pas sengers. The following schedule has been arranged for the S. S. Comal: From New Orleans—February 17, 25, March 5. From Miami—February 21, March 1, March 10. Yacht At P. 0.

President Warfield called attention to the prevalent tendency to consoli date railways into long cross conti ental systems and said some of these consolidations are “along lines im practicable in solution, the effect of which may be interference with the proper relations which railroads and railroad systems should bear, one with the other, if the best results, both economic and traffic, are to be preserved to the people.” I The Seaboard has no such plans in mind. President Warfield said. “As stated in the letters to the stock holders, if the plans set forth therein are carried out, it would knit the Sea board lines of railroads into a com pact transportation system within a territory of a character and of such size as will preserve the persona? contact between railroad officials and the shippers and users of transporta tion, which is essential to secure ef ficient service and the comprehensive development of the territory travers i.” j Attention was called to the im portance of keeping any consolidated railroad system within such an area as that traversed by the Seaboard, which President Warfield said “con tains over 185,000 square miles, doable the area of Great Britain, larger than Germany, nearly aa large as France, and ia which there are from SO to 75 million acres of unde veloped land.” i 1 PROPERTY BUYER RETURNING HOME FROM VISIT HERE AARON HYMAN.

t. Bathing pavilion. 4> Road to mainland. The rapid growth of Key West may be startling, “lrat it’s solid. Sure Helen Wills is a good sport. And there’ll be another day, ye know. Some of these up-to-date newspapers surely go a long ways back to get their squibs sometimes. A bookkeeper may hold his job by getting the accounts balled up so that no one else can under stand them.

A glance at feminine beauty seems to suggest that many of the girls are starting m early to put tm their spring coats of paint. Key West felt the effect of the prolonged coal ■trike less than any other point in the United States, yet th'e people here join in the widespread tdjfcfemg that it is over. r V The American people lost $1,000,000,000 in TFerthless stocks last year, and probably they will try to make up for these losses this year by losing qn equal amount more.* Sure we would like to have the champion girl swimrfiers heYe March 2; but they’ll have to be pretty •ctive mermaids to dodge the big ships swarming into and out of this port all the time. “I see you had another nice article from Mr. fmvering in your paper today,” a lady recently said tea representative of this newspaper, adding that ■*‘tf we only had many more such men in Key West it would be a great thing for this community.”. To aQ of which The Citixen heartily agrees. THE HANDSHAKE A news dispatch from Mantua, Italy, declares tnat handshaking has been prohibited among all em ployes of that city,* and that henceforth the old Roman ■abate must be used as the sign of greeting. The rea for th requirement is not stated, but possibly tfcis was done on the theory that handshaking is un aaaitary, that it tends to communicate disease germs. It would-make quite a change in the customs of ■aciety if the habit, of handshaking should be frown ad upon by health authorities, or discontinued for •■y reason. The handclasp is a social method that baa been a great power. By its means innumerable politicians have won their way. Many of them had no very definite ideas m new legislation, but if they could greet all whom they met with a good warm handshake and put some feeling into their grip, the cordiality thus expressed was a vote getter. In the organisation world, the handclasp is a fbetor. The church or club where no one shakes bands with you, is often called cold and stiff. But those with enthusiastic members who greet strangers with a warm hahdshake, get the reputation for friendly feeling and members come in fast. A Rood active group of handshakers can boom a town. If they give an energetic handclasp to new comers. it seems to cheer up these lonely folks. Pre ▼ioMsly they had felt like the traditional cat in the strange garret, but when someone comes along and i* m them a warm handclasp, they say this is a good town where people are welcomed. Even if it is claim ed th*t handshaking is not saniUry, yet it can be said Hut you can always protect yourself from any con tagions by washing your hand* before eating. A so cial" that so promotes friendliness is not to be lightly set aside. WASHINGTON, THE MAN Monday, February 22, marks the 194th an niversary of Washington's birth. In view of a recent controversy over the personal characteristics and habits of the Father of Our Country, a brief refer ence to some less familiar facts of his life seems time ly, his public record being -almost universally known. He was born on a Friday, apparently not an nn .ucky day for him. nor for the great nation of which he was destined to be the founder. His great-grand father, John Washington, came from England and settled in Virginia in 1657. 4k George Washington was the son of Augustine Washington, by his second wife, nee Mary Ball. Af ter his father’s death when he was 11, the lad was under the guardianship of his half-brother, Lawrence, with whom he visited the West Indies, where he had small-pox. He was appointed a midshipman in the British Navy, but was prevented from going to sea through the objections of his mother. Otherwise, little is known of his boyhood, and the various stories, concerning it, including that of the “hatchet and cherry tree,” have no historical basis. He had only a very elementary education, ex cepting in mathematics, in which he was principally self-taught, and at the age of 16 became a surveyor. Later he inherited the family estate at Mt. Vernon and married a wealthy widow, Mrs. Martha Curtis, becoming one of the richest men in America, owning 70,000 acres of land in Virginia and later 40,000 acres farther west, given him by the govern ment for his military services. He was a large slave-owner, but hoped, for the ultimate abolishment of slavery; he was not a pro hibitionist; he was a member of the Episcopal church. He was a powerful man, more than six feet tall, with big hands and feet, sandy hair and blue eyes. Mrs. Washington was small and plump, with dark hair and hazel eyes. During his career Washington was at times most violently denounced by his opponents; who tried to deprive him of command of the Army, condemned him for approving the location of the national capi tal near Mt. Vernon, spoke of him contemptuously as “the step-father of his country,” and even hinted at the propriety of building a guillotine for his execu tion. He once considered resigning .from the presi dency and later expressed regret that he had not done so. But th'e great mass of the people were un swervingly loyal to him to the end, and he might have had a kingly crown had he so desired. In the final judgment of the American people he has fully sus tained the eulogy passed upon him at his death by the great Marshall: “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” WHY ADVERTISING PAYS (Miami Tribune) Possibly there was a time in the history of news papers when advertising was little considered. Then it was that the buying of space in a paper meant that the advertiser could say practically anything that happened to strike his fancy, regardless of facts, as long as no libel suit was involved. But that was long ago, and now* things are very much different. Advertising is a distinct and impor tant feature of nearly all publications. Newspapers now establish a standard in advertising, and by ad hering strictly to principles set forth, gain friends and importance through their advertising columns as w'ell as through their other departments. All of this is highly significant. Advertising having become a legitimate and well thought of feature of every newspaper, the public at the same time has learned that an intelligent reading of the advertising pages is a part of the daily duty both of housekeeper and business man. Admitting that the news, sports, advertising, society, feature and editorial pages are given first attention, it is acknowledged without reserve or fear of contradiction that well placed and attractively arranged advertise ments get plenty of attention—more than that, in reputable publications they are taken at their face value and straightway become a paying investment for the advertiser, whether he happens to be engaged in selling real estate or in tuning pianos. When an advertisement is found in a reputable newspaper, the reader has a right to assume that it is an honest advertisement, for such papers refuse to print dishonest advertising when by diligent and reasonable methods they discover that there might be a doubt as to the entire truthfulness of a statement made therein. And while lessons of this sort have been learned by newspapers, the advertisers them selves have come to realize that exaggerated claims and untrue statements are apt to be far more harm ful to them than to those they seek to defraud. No merchant can advertise dishonestly and remain in business very long; inevitably his shady methods are exposed, and the end follows surely and swiftly. And so the advertisement in the newspaper has come to be news of real value to readers. The sub scriber expects, mad get*, honest assistance and profit from its perusal. There is established between the reader and the paper itself an “entente cordials” nowadays that insures a square deal all around and encourages the former to rely upon statements made, in whatever department they appear. Advertising pay* well these days because it can be depended upon fei .reliable. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN IN THE DAY’S NEWS In selecting Dr. Raymond A. Pear son to be its president the University of Maryland is assured of getting an undisputed expert in his chosen field of work. Dr. Pearson’s reputation rests largely upon his long term of service as president of lowa State College, one of the finest of .the agri cultural colleges of the mid-West. Cornell University educated him in the fundamentals of natural science. He specialized in agriculture, and on the basis of his record was summoned in 1895 to the Department of Agri culture in Washington to be chief of its dairy division. During the World War his services were again enlisted by the Department of Agriculture to become one of its assistant secretar ies. In the interim he had served as professor of the dairy industry at Cornell, and for four years was New York State Commissioner of Agricul ture. In 1912 he was called to lowa to become head of the State Col lege. BLOOD PURIFIER HAM'S CATARRH VEDTCMR, a Combined Treatment, both local and Internal.

PAGE FOUR CLAIMS SHIP STRUCK BY SHELLS Y FROM CUTTER CAPTAIN OF SCHOONER EAST WOOD INSISTS THAT SHIP WAS STRUCK NUMBER OF TIMES (By AMoeUtrA Prwi> HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 20.—Over the telephone from Lunenburg; Capt. Spmdler of the schooner East Wood, insisted today his vessel had been struck at least 69 times by shells from the United States Coast Guard cutter Seneca, while the liquor-laden schooner was flying the British flag and lying at anchor 21 miles off Long Island. New York Coast Guard officials last night dec’ared his statement was hardly probable. Captain Spindler said: “I would not have thought such a thing could possibly happen in this age if I had not been there myself and had the fact impressed upon me in a most un comfortable manner.” The skipper declared that the cut ter fired first on the schooner’s port side and then shelled it from the starboard side.

PAGE SIX MONROE f TODAY Slam Realism In Mary Pickford Film Standing at the old “Five Joints,” when* that section was notorious as the crime center of New York City, non-descript representatives and members of all the nations and ail races could be seen passing by. On a dingy tenement “set” in the shadow of Hollywood Hills, several thousand miles from the present day “Five Points” of New York, the same nations and the same races were represented in the making of Mary Pickford’s new picture, “Little Annie Rooney,” a United Artists Cor poration release which shows at the Monroe Theatre today. Among the 10,000 or more extras of Hollywood, motion picture cen ter, are ail types, all nationalities and all colors. These are carefully listed in the records of casting di rectors and may be summoned by telephone at an hour’s notice. They are “camera broke,” know the tricks of make-up and many own extensive wardrobes. “Little Annie Rooney” deals with life—kid life—in the tenement house district of New York’s famous lower East Side with its teeming population, its thousands upon thou sands who crowd into that section' qf the city from all parts of the world. With but just a few excep tions the whole picture was pro duced in Hollywood at the Pickford- Fairbanks studio; the cast is made up from the hordes of film extras there. In the story Little Annie Rooney is the twelve year old daughter of a popular New York bluecoat; leader of a band of rough-and-tumble, alley fighting youngsters of “The Block,” and is secretly and wildly infatuated with a hulking truck driver, Joe Kelly, who is the pal of her big brother, Tim Rooney. Her garb con sists of the cheapest of calico, tom and much-darned -stockings, and down-at-the heel shoes. She spurns a hat. Gone are the castles and their moats; the palaces and their princes, of Miss Pickford’s “Rosita” and “Dorothy Vernon Absent are the heavy velvet and lace gowns with their sweeping trains of her costume dramas. Here are the littered streets and areaways of the tenemnt dis trict; tin cans and brickbats ever handy for the fighting kid gangsters; here are broken bathtubs, old, rusty boilers, great empty boxes, all mak ing convenient hiding places and am* bushes for Little Annie Rooney and her band of supporters when attack ed by rival gangsters. TOMORROW “Not So Long Ago” Fine Comedy-Romance of 1850 Betty Bronson, the charming star of “Peter Pan,** and Ricardo Cortez are featured in the principal roles of the Paramount picture, “Not So Long Ago,” which will be shown at the Monroe Theatre tomorrow. Betty is a romantic miss in crino line skirts and black curls in this production, directed by Sidney 01- cott, who made “Little Old New York.” Cortez has the role of an f 1850 Beau Brummel. Laurence Wheat, heading the sup porting cast, loves Betty but his af fection is not returned so he tells Betty’s father about the secret love affair she is having with the son of the rich Ballards. Dad is very bitter. He has no faith in the idle rich be cause once upon a time he was fleeced of a lot of money. And he certainly needs a lot of it right now. In a few days, the horseless carriage he is working on will be taken away if he can’t meet his debts. Then comes a race that will draw t laughs and gasps. Wheat in an old track suit, races the horseless car riage down Fifth Avenue. Betty having quarreled with Cortez and lost her job, has promised to marry Wheat if he wins the contest. A great crowd is on hand. First a false start. At the starting signal, the carriage refuses to move. Then —with a splutter and a gasp, it’s off. Near the finish, it seems as though it's going to win—when the boiler exr’ *des with a bang. The money-lender throws his **l O U” away in disgust and Cortez res c” it from the gutter, returns it to Betty’s father and puts himself “in ri'Tht” with the girl. Henry Weber, dairyman of Hara san, La., strangled J. J. Wiliams to death when the latter tried to rob Weber’s home. After 1? years of perfect attend ance at Sunday school, W. H.
