DE VALERA Is STILL
IDOL OF DUBLIN AS
WELL AS ELSEWHERE
Uncompromising Following of
Former Irish Chief Not Con-
fined to Cork and Kerry.
tsy Tho Associates Press)

DUBLIN, Feb. 12.-The magnitude
and the generally enthusiastic charac-
ter of the republican demonstration
held this afternoon was a surprise to
observers of the political situation.
Eamon DeValera was the principal
speaker.
The suposltion had prevailed that
DeValera's uncompromising republican
following was confined mainly to Cork
and Kerry, but it seemed evident from
the applause accorded him that the
Dublin crowds still regard him with
their old fervor.
Observers of the situation. after
having made allowance for fine wealth
er as an inducement for the people to
turn out, declared that every one must
recognize the demonstration as being
significant. The throng packed O'Con-
nell street from the Parnell statue al
most down to the Nelson pillar and
overfiowed into the side streets. A re-
markable feature was the presence in
military formation of a large body of
the Irish republican army. The men
modified in Smithfield and marched
to the meeting, but were not actually
present at the demonstration.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for counter meetings on behalf
of the provisional government, but it
Is expected that those siding with the
government speedily will get busy.
All the principal colleagues of Mr.
Devalera supported him today in
platform speeches. Notable among
them was Charles Burgess. Austin
stack, Harry j. Boland and j. T.
O'Kelly.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 12.-Vice
President Calvin Coolidge and Gen.
John j. Pershing, in behalf of the
American nation. honored the memory
Of Abraham Lincoln here today.
Through crowds which lined the
streets, they passed to visit the old
homestead where Lincoln lived. Later
they placed a simple wreath upon the
tomb where the body of the martyred
president lies in Oakridge cemetery.
Arriving early this morning, General
Pershing, with a military escort, jour
neyed the 40 miles out to the site Of
New Salem, Lincoln's one-time home
where the state of Illinois has started
to reconstruct the vanished village.
Vice President Coolidge arrived in a
special car this afternoon.
The principles Of right and justice
proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln and
for which he died, were the inspira-
tion OF the American armies that
fought in the world war. General
Pershing said tonight in his address
of tribute to the great emancipation.
Indeed" he added, .the fundament-
al truths that fell from Lincoln's lips
have become the living hope of op-

General Pershing Iauded in particu-
lar Lincoln's perseverance in securing
an education in his youth.
'Tt is not to the city of Washington
that men must turn il they would un-
derstand Abraham Lincoln" said Vice
President Coolidge. 'eThe beginning
and the end of his nature is here. Here
was the life which he carried with
him. Too. often the world turns its
eyes to the high places. thinking that
from them will come its revelations
and Its great events, forgetful that a
greater wisdom is in those who mind
not higher things but condescend to
men of low estate. The greatest epoch
in all human history began in a man
ger. This great American, the fore
most world figure of the nineteenth
century, came out of a frontier clear
ing and spent his early manhood in a
village of a few hundred souls"

NOT PROGRESSING
Detectives of Los Angeles Are
Checking Up What Are Termed

Captain Adams Says He Has No

Some Good Reason.
(Ry The Associated Prsss)

Los ANGELES. Feb. 1.-THE in
vestigation of the Staying of William
Desmond Taylor, a motion picture di-
rector, proceeded today with what
chiefs of the inquiry. described as a
checking up of remote possibilities" :"
Detectives of the police department,
district attorneys and sheriff's offices
were dispatched upon missions and
most of them reported before nightfau
that they had reached the same blank
wall encountered in previous investi-
cations.
Thomas Lee woolwine, district at
torney, said he felt that little progress
had been made.
I'VE have several lines of investi-
cation upon which a check will be
made probably tonight, bat it is i'm
possible to state whether they are
vital to the case" the district attorney
said.
Both the district attorney and Capt.
David L. Adams, head of the detective
bureau, said the man they We're most
anxious to locate was Edward F..
Sands, former secretary and butler of
Taylor, who has been missing since
last August. Captain Adams said he
thought there could be no doubt now
that Sands sis hiding for some good
reason Of his own
II cannot for the life of me see why
he should remain in seclusion If he has
nothing to relate about the Taylor
case" the captain continued.
1T is true he was accused of grand
larceny by Taylor and that we still
have such a charge on file against him
here, but he is an intelligent man and
must know what the ultimate result
is upon the death of the complaining
witness to a charge of such a charac-
ter. While the police cannot offer i'm
munity upon an undismissed charge,
Sands cannot but realize that he
stands in no danger of conviction upon
the charge made by Taylor.
81 believed in the beginning that
Sands was the man we wanted and 1
see no reason now to change my be-
lief"
Neva Gerber, film actress, who has
previously stated she once was en-
gagged to marry Taylor, discussed to-
day in an interview with the Los An
geles examiner, @the checks" which,
she said, "Mr. Taylor gave me from
time to time'
During our engagement" she con-
tinued, 'Mr. Taylor gave me an auto
mobile as Christmas present, that
is, it was understood between Mr.
Taylor and myself as a holiday pres
ent.
1.-THE machine was not all paid for
at one time, and in order to prevent
gossips from misconstruing the spirit
in which the gift was made. Mr.. Tay-
Ior simply made out checks to me, so
could pay for the car in my own
name.
Numerous other checks were for
distributing charity to the poor in his
behalf.
'.The last check-for s50o-given me
a short time before his death, can be
accounted for very simply. Mr.. Taylor
was always looking after my career
and doing all he could to help my prog
ress in the film world. He knew was
in financial straits at that
time and voluntarily sent me $780,"
Miss Gerber cashed the last check
three weeks before Taylor was muir
dered, It was said.
