Universal Service learned that

that Pablo Gonzales. Francisco
Murguia and others were beginning

were making gestures to President
Obregon for official forgiveness.
Likewise, oil propaganda that two

Obregon government was branded
as utterly false.

former bosses as a dangerous factor
in case he might be called before
an investigating body.

was definitely learned at the De-

later.
Department of Justice Officials
stated that action will be taken to
have his passport declared void on
the ground that 1t was obtained
through false statements. Kern,
therefore, can be returned 20 this
country.
HIS arrival in Europe was an.
ticipated, and he was met as he
left the steamer, by secret service
men. who have been trailing him
constantly ever since. Reports Ct
his movements are being received
regularly. When the investigation
into the transfer of the Bosch Mag

Prosecutor Finds No

Case

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IL
In the William Desmond Taylor
case the police officers have been
busy night and day working upon
various theories. and the state
ments of a great number of per-
sons that we thought might tend
to throw some light upon this
mysterious killing have been
taken by the district attorney.
We are, of course, but little
beyond the very threshold of the
investigation, but must say that
so far nothing has developed that
gives us the slightest intimation
as to who perpetrated the ghast-
ly deed.
In all my experience, l have
seldom, If ever, come in contact
with any case that is so devoid
of substantial clues. There re-
mains a great deal to be done,
and we can only hope from day
to day that this situation may
change.
have been informed that ar
ticles have been carried by the
public press outside of the city
of Los Angeles to the effect that
the police authorities are not
using their best endeavors to un-
ravel this mystery, but from
daily contact with the officers
working on the case, I have never
seen any indication of such an
attitude upon the part Of any
of them.
