OPEN HUNT

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16.-
Requestioning of Mabel Nor
mand, ns
Investigation Of report that
a threatening letter was found
among the effects Of William d.
Intensive search for Aseverai
thousand dollars worth Of oil
stock and a considerable amount
Of cash belonging to the Taylor
estate.
Continuation of a secret ex-
animation of a dozen film per-
sonages in the hope that the
collated information Z obtained
from all may shed light on the
murder.
Probe in Third Week.
These were the chief activities un-
der way today as officialdom entered
it's third week of endeavor to piece
the black curtain of mystery sur
rounding the Staying OF William DeS-
mond Taylor, famous film director.
Requestioning of Miss Normand Is
to he deferred until she has recov-
cred from her Illness, which is caus.
ing her friends much concern.
She is to be questioned by represen-
tatives OF the sheriff's office. who
desire to clear up a number Of points
raised through re-enactment by Will
lam Davis, Miss Normand's chauf.
feur, of his recollection of events of
the night of February l, when the
film star visited Taylor's home, a few
minutes before his death.
According to deputy sheriffs, Davis
placed the time of the. departure of
the Normand car, after Taylor had
escorted Miss Normand to the curb,
at 7:40.
Officials place little credence in a
report that a threatening missive
has been found. District Attorney
Woolwine said he had seen no such
document. According to this story,
the letter was written by man who
had been stigmatized shortly after
the world war as Stacker" by
Taylor. Smarting under this, the
man was said to have sworn to get
even" with the film director.
Investigate Finances.
Woolwine and his investigators
are much interested in Taylor 8
financial affairs. Through evidence
given by Mrs. J. NJ. Berger, income
tax expert, officials are convinced
that Taylor expected to pay income
tax on returns from a considerable
amount of oil stock and cash. The
stocks and cash are missing. This
gives rise to three theories, all OF
which are being investigated:
l. That Taylor had an undis-
covered safety deposit box.
.. That he was a victim OF a
blackmailer.
3. That Taylor was killed by
some one who knew of the exist
ence of the oil stock and money
and VINO failed to rob the body In
order to direct suspicion else
where.
District Attorney Woolwine's in
vestigation is proceeding almost di-
rectly now under cover" His in
yestigators are questioning film
actors and others at their homes
and by appointment far from the
Hall OF Records. These reports are
reduced to writing and brought to
the district attorney who has them
carefully checked with other state
ments already on hand.
The elimination process, accord
ing to officials, has convinced them
that a man shot Taylor and that
the three most probable motives are
jealousy over n woman, revenge for
some act in Taylor's hidden past

There is read with some impotence the comment
made by a publication of national circulation on the
report from town in California saying that growers
had left 100000 melons rotting the ground Some
more of the report was that the growers to let
the melons rot on the ground the hope that over
stocking of the market would be eliminated and they
could get better prices
Then followed comment in which were the phrases
wicked food waste" greed and stupidity "wanton
and deliberate destruction Gods food for Gods chill
dren" and denunciaon Of the California melon
growers
Probably the California growers did let the melons
rot on the ground Florida growers let carloads OF cab
bage rot the Everglades last winter, but it was be-
cause they couldn't help it, and the thing happens all
the United States every year. probably all over the
world on occasions. Florida growers did Something
more than this also Many Of them bore costs of pio-
ducton harvesting, packing and shipping to market
ceners--and didn't get enough returns to pay the
carrying charges. Did anyone except the losing grow
ers get excited about that?
Ii probably is true, stated with so much emphasis
in the paper which makes the comment that there are
millions of hungry children in famne-sricken countries
and hafstarved children in American tenements, bus
this isn't altogether the fault of the California melon
growers or the Florida cabbagegrowers. At least the
growers did something fundamental help the afflicted
people; they grew foodstuTs which anyone who wants
to is at liberty to buy and send to the hungry.
If the grower doesn't get productive price he must

HOW MANDATED TERRITORY
NEW GUINEA IS MANAGED

Sydney, n. ). w, Aug. Z3.-Ordln-
ances dealing with mining, timber and
other lands in the inundated territory
of German New Guinea have been
adopted by the Commonwealth gov
eminent. Great interest has been
aroused in the ordinances which
center in the provision controlling
mining and including the regulations
governing prospecting for oil.
The ordinance specifically excludes
shale, petroleum and mineral oil from
private industry, the right to search
ard exploit these deposits being re-
served to the government. The pro-
visions regarding gold silver and
every kind OF mineral, including opals
ard other precious sones, are framed
on the State Mining Acts, and make
allowance for miners rights, consoli-
dated miners rights, gold mining
leases and mining leases.
A new principle in island legislation
is included in the land control ordin-
ance, a clause having been inserted
that enables the governor general to
sell land in fee simple. Agricultural,
pastoral, business and residential
leases may be granted from crown
lands, subject to Improvement con-
ditions. The leases in most cases
will be for 50 years except in the case
of pastoral lands which are limited
to so years.
The timber ordinance confers spe-
cial rights upon the natives, and their
lands. which contain valuable forests,
are protected. Licenses are to be
issued for cutting timber on crown
lands up to areas of 5000 acres. The
licenses must maintain saw mills on
the property and the timber exported
is liable to royalties to be fixed by
legislation.
