shows, Capt. Adams said. that the
assassin probably WAS croVhing be-

Another oficial theory advanced Il
that Taylor saw. his sttack.r. and that
he reached for the chair with which
10 defend himself. Tho position his
body would have been in had this
taken place would have accounted for
tho direction taken by the bullet. II
also would serve TO account for tho

His Salary $1,000 . Week.

Taylor had led rather secluded life
since his arrival In Los Angeles. and
while he participated In many OF the
social functions OF the fllm colony he
was In no sense part Of the many
wild parties that have become famous
across tho country. He WAS quite
student and spent most OF his time at
homo with books. which were al aid
TO him In his work.
His rise in the Aim world was rapid
and It is proba bic that he was receiv-
ing a salary OF approximately $4,000
q w~ek at the time Of his death, al
though II is now said that his entire
estate win not be more than $4,000.
The fact that his houscman, Henry
Peavey, and his former secretary, Ed
ward r. Sands, ere both said TO be
queer persons" has led to much
speculation whether Taylor Was abb
normal himself. II Is thought by n
majority who are Investigating the
case that this IN a phase which will
develop and throw much new light on
the case. Other ASSOCIATES OF the man

Scientific Methods Used by

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, October 25.-
The moonshiners of the Tennessee
mountains are enlisting science In
their fight to circumvent the dry off,
cials.
The latest move is smoke consumers
on their stills. They have been
forced to this by the dry officials,
who have been locating the Illicit
factories from airplanes. Small sus-
piclous colums of smoke mounting
far into the heavens from the banks

clumps of trees in the past have fur

made.

They have kept on and have kept

was this which brought about the

the smoke is consumed and there Is
no evidence from the air or the sur

The fact that this was the plan

Difficulty in obtaining jury yester-
day further delayed the trial of A.
J. w. Greig, who styles himself the
Earl of Dunblane," and faces a
charge of obtaining money by false
pretense through the sale of alleged
worthless securities. Popularity of
the defendant in a number Of north

given his business affairs figured in
the dismissal of many prospective
jurors before the panel was COM
pleted.
The specific charge against Greig,
who was arrested in Montreal two
months ago. is that he misappropri-
ated 81 900 given him by Charlevoix
woman for Investment. Officials of
the state securities and insurance
commissions have declared many
thousands of dollars were involved.
Posing as a member of a titled
Scotch family, Greig came to Char
levoix year ago. was married to a
local woman and established himself
in the community. He then organized
the Title Guarantee and Casualty
Company, which failed and Is now

WICHITA, Kan. October 25.-A plan
for the payment of a soldiers bonus
without d bit of damage to the

right by William Gibbs McAdoo. for

spoke in the interest of democratic

would take the five-year average OF

Il tax on the excess profits made by
these institutions during the opera

not new; that England tried it.
and successfully. too, as a means
for financing the world war. United

the wrong prescription In Novem-

HAY ELECTRICALLY PRESERVED

A method for preserving newly
mown grass without drying in the
sun has been worked out in Switzer-
land. The newly mown grass is
stored on metal sheets in silos Of
about 400 cubic feet capacity. The:
top of the silo is closed by another
metal sheet, and the sheets at the,
top and bottom of the silo are con-.
nected in an electric circuit, so that
alternating current at a pressure Of
from 200 to 500 volts is passed
passed through the grass between
them. The effect of passing this
current for several days is to kill
all.~the microbes whose presence
would otherwise cause the damp
grass to decay. 1t is claimed that,
the process enables the grass to be-
preserved in its natural state until
required, and that in addition it
can be cut and stored irrespective
OF weather conditions. A further
claim is that it contains twice the
nutriment of an equal quantity Of
hay. g.
