VISIT TO TAYLOR
Noted Film Star Gives Full
Statement Concerning
Facts of Tragedy.
BY MABEL NORALAND.
(Written For the United Press.)

Copyright, 1922, by United Press.)
Los ANGELES. Feb. 11.-This IS
my own story OF just what happened
on the night OF my last visit 10 VII
liam Desmond Taylor, the evening
Of Feb. 1.
In response TO a telephone call
left by Mr.. Taylor at my home dur
ing the afternoon OF the day he was
killed. 1 stopped at his house be-
tween Z and 7:15 in the evening.
The purpose OF my call was 10
pick up a book which Mr.. Taylor
had purchased for me that after
noon, knowing particularly that
wanted It. He had already sent one
book to my home. but had request
ed me 20 stop for this one. which I
assumed he had purchased later.
Upon my arrival. I was let into
the house by Henry Feave, Mr.. Tay-
lOr's valet. who informed me that
Mr.. Taylor was conversing with
some one over the phone. in few
moments after my arrival, Mr.. Tay-
Tor said goodbye 10 the party with
whom he was conversing and left
the telephone.
He greeted me. He had Just fin
ished dinner and his man had clear
ed away the table. but he asked me
If I would uot let him have some
thing prepared for me or go out to
dinner with him later I declined
explaining that I was tired and that
had an early studio call to make
the next morning.
Copy of police Gazette"
said that intended TO go home
early. have dinner and go 10 bed
For rs minutes Mr. Taylor and I
sat discussing various books and
photoplays.
About 20 minutes TO s, prepared
/ 10 start for home. Mr.. Taylor walk
ed with me to where my car was
parked at the curbing.
There was a copy of the Police
Gazette" in the car, which he no
ticed. He chided me for having It
in my possession, remarking that
Freud, Haeckel and Nietzche were
hardly compatible with such liter
ature.
After an exchange of repartee for
q few minutes, I bade him good
night and directed my chauffeur TO
drive me home.
Before 1 left, Mr.. Taylor promised
to phone me at my home within an
hour. He never did.
AS William (my chauffeur) pulled
away from the curb, I looked back
and saw Mr.. Taylor standing there,
gazing after me. 7 waved my hand.

Agnes Mclaughlin who plays
the role OF the designing advent
uress I'm the Joyce Kilmers' Play
Crs vehicle, 's1'he Watcher at the
Gate"
Among those OF exceptional talent
who are in the cast OF THE Watcher
at the Gate" the attraction at the
oliver for February 1eth. none IL
more worthy OF individual mention
than Miss Agnes Mclaughlin.
The favorable comment that has
greeted her artistic portrayal OF a
designing cunning vampire places
her first among the female charac-
ters in the play. She lends to the
role not only the hnesse of an artist
but the dark subtle beauty Of a Cas-
lillian beauty. Playing opposite her
is William A. Roeder. who Is, a.
once. the author and leading man
Of the play and the performance

women throughout the country.
At this time when the nation Is
being aroused from its complacent
attitude by the many proofs Of mall
nutrition among the children; when
one-third Of our young men had
been rejected from joining the army
on account OF physical unftness
which might have been corrected in
childhood: and when other statis-
ties show at least half of our School
children to have serious physical
handicaps which retard their de-
velopment while on-third Of them
have been found to be under-nour-

women Of this city 70 be able to
secure a woman of such broad ex-
perience TO bring first hand the mes

MAIN NAVAL ARMS
ARE STILL INTACT
Conference Reduces Number,
But Not Dreadnaughts, L
Boats and Plane Ships.

WASHINGTON. Feb 11.-Despite
the months OK hacking and reduc-
tione. every nation at the Washing
tom conference has emerged with
the modern 'three-plane navy" es-
centrally intact.
I'm summing up the general result
az the recent arms conference naval
experts feel that the effect was 20
limit generally every branch OF the
ravies OF the world but no ess initial
~ those navies has been eliminated.
The result is that while the navies
~ the world are appreciably re-
5uced. their fighting parts are still
present in the air, on the waves and
below them.
The navies or the world are 20
have airplane carriers. and the air
plane has been virtually untouched
bv the conference. The backbone
~ the nav" the battlcship. has
been reduced in number but is still
on the muster roll. The submarine
has been technically barred from its
principal function IN war. but 10 IS
still a potential menace.
Lessons From Jutland.
In considering what this means.
naval experts point 90 the battle Of
Jutiand. IN the World war. as an il
Iustration Of what these weapons Of
war may be expected % do IN the
future.
Each OF the major powers is 20
have five airplane carriers The
British navy had one at the time Of
rs big battle. but 20 was not with the
fleet In action. One British seaplane
was fin action. scouting for the Ger
man fleet. and. according TO the Of
fetal report. the plane found il al
most impossible to work properly
because OF lovv-hanging clouds, fog
and the conditions of battle. For
the same reason the German dirig-
ibles could not locate the British
ships.
The general work of these air
craft was such during the war that
the American navy today is using
every opportunity 10 develop this
branch. The fact that the conference
did not hedge It about has lent it
double value in future operations in
naval opinion Each big ship OF
the American navy today carries, or
has available, a dirigibIe. scout
planes and ant-airCraft batteries.
Besides. the American navy viii

carriers, although these are not
strictly the type which a ship built
for the sole purpose would be. Elk

the air is still free 10 the navy.
Guns Size Limited.
one OF the results of the confer
ence the limitation OF size Of guns,
naval experts point out. Is a real
Limitation TO the extent that it
eQualizes somewhat the powers Of
opposing fleets in battle. Ships hav-
ing guns approximately the same
caliber cannot outrange each other.
The general effect OF the conference
on surface craft was TO equalize as
far as possible the fleets Of the ma
jor powers with regard TO their pos
sible strategic uses.
Submarines have been hedged

as weapons Of war they are still on
the accepted list, so that. essentially.

SUES BRYN MAWR FOR
$4,000 FOR EXPULSION
Miss Barker FollorDs Up Suit
for Reinstatement.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HEnAID.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug, 31.---Miss Mar
gerry Barker dismissed from Bryn
Mawr College in April, 1921, after a
series of petty thefts had been discov-
cred, asks 5000 damages from the
college and Miss M. Carey Thomas, Its
former president. for what in her state
men of claim filed to-day in the United
an unjust expulsion. The suit was be-
gun in June after the young woman's pc
.tition for a mandamus to compel her
reinstatement was refused by Judges
Swarts and Miller in Montgomery
county.
George Wharton Pepper, now United
States Senator, represented the girl
when the mandamus proceedings began
last December at Norristown. Nicholas
II. Larzelere of Norristown represented
the college.
The court ruled that the college had
authority to expel the student and dis
missed the petition for writ because OF
lack of jurisdiction. but intimated that
the proper legal recourse was a suit for
damages. The decision has been appealed
and will be argued before the Supreme
Court OF Pennsylvania possibly in Janu-
uary.
In the damage suit Miss Barker says
she was not given a chance to confront
her accusers nor to offer a defense. AT
the time the probe into the petty thefts
started Miss Thomas was away from
college, IL Is declared, and the case was
handled by Hilda w. Smith, the dean.

Bonus Agitation Sends

Special Dispatch to THE New York HExALD'

Washington, ID. c.. Aug. 81


T HE Treasury already is dis
turbed by the shock which
the Liberty bond market has
sustained from bonus agitation in
Congress. Recently there has been
decline in these issues-not great
but enough to show that holders OF
large blocks of these securities, in,
Guiding banks, are fearful that the
bonus bill. If it becomes law. will
cause precipitate drop in all Lib
critics and cause a rush among large
holders to unload them on the
market.
The drop in Liberty bond prices,
reducing their yield. has adversely
affected Government borrowing and
will make 1t impossible for the Gov
ernment to borrow at the same low
rates that it expected. II the bonus
bill does not become a law the Gov
ernment's borrowing in the near
future will be upon a per cent.
