NJ WORD FROM PROBE IN ROMA
 AIR DISASTER
Board Is Still Investigating Cause of Mishap; Expect
 Report in Few Days

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 23.-The in vestigation by a board of army off cers, of the disaster to the semi-rigid airship Roma was continued here to- day, but no word was permitted to leak out of the executive session con corning the character of evidence pre- sented. The board is expected to complete it's inquiry and report to Washington within a few days.
 Meanwhile, preparations were be- gun for public funeral services for the 34 victims at Newport News tomor- row. All business was to be suspend ed here while the brief service is held under direction of army chaplains.
 Every vestige of the wreck of the huge craft, which crashed to earth Tuesday at the Hampton Roads army base. was removed today, and parts of the former proud ship of the air were removed to Newport News, where the final investigation will be held.
 Failure of the controls to function properly is believed by some survivors to have been the immediate cause of he disaster, although Charles w. Dworack. superintendent of construc- ton at McCook Field, Dayton. O., stat ed today that the failure of the con- trols to work was an aerodynamic theory and was not necessarily the cause of the trouble. Major John D. Reardon, another of the injured. on the other hand, said that the wreck of the Roma was undoubtedly due to failure of controls"
 Some of the bodies which were talk en to the morgue at Newport News on the evening of the disaster have al- ready been sent to their homes, but the funeral services in that city will be in honor of those who died in the wreck. A chaplain from Fortress Monroe will read the service for the army; civil rites will be carried out under the leadership of several local ministers, and few brief tributes to the men with music by military bands, will close the ceremony. The caskets will be placed side by side, each draped by the flag for whose honor the occupant died. and each covered with the floral tributes of the city, the American Legion and friends and relatives.

UNABLE TO FIND REVOLVER THAT
 KILLED TAYLOR
Place Indicated by Fields Is Unsuccessfully Searched
 For Lost Weapon
CHINAMAN DISAPPEARS
Teller's Story of Suspicious Character Who Changed
 $l, 900 Bill

LOS ANGELES, Feb. g. - Search for the revolver with which William Desmond Taylor was slain three weeks ago was abandoned today with ,out results after deputy sheriffs had spent about l 5hourS in a painstaking search of the place where Harry N. Fields had said they would find it.
 Fields, held in Detroit, on a forgery charge, made what purported to be a full statement of his connection with the Taylor murder, telling the off cers at Detroit that was the chauf feur of the car in which the slayer of Taylor rode to the directors home.
 As circumstance of his statement, Fields described with some detail the place, where, he said, the revolver used was afterward thrown away. Deputy sheriffs worked there, in d. block of ground near the Taylor resi- dence, until almost daylight today. They resumed the search again early in the forenoon and finally abandoned it several hours later.
 The deputies reported, however, that there were so many hedges, thickets and other possible places of concealment for a revolver that their failure was not proof conclusive that the Fields statement was untrue, but were inclined to take their failure as an indication that the doubt of Fields story expressed by the Detroit off cers probably was well founded.

Derive Larger Incomes
In Poplar, Eng. By Relief
Contributions Than Work

LONDON, June ia man can de-
rive a larger income in Poplar by ac-
cepting relief than he can by working,
so generous are the contributions OF
the Poplar Guardians. Full informa-
ton as to the methods of the Guard
ians in relieving poverty in their Dor
ough discloses greater extravagances
than had been suspected. An East
END firm wrote to the Guardians:
Our employees who live in Poplar
street have pointed out that they can
get more money by being unemployed
than by working for us. As we have
no wish to prevent them getting as
much as possible, we propose to dis
miss them so that they can take adj
vantage of your relief"
That the firm did not exaggerate pre-
vailing conditions is shown by other
testimony. A man and wife were
granted 81, los a week to relieve
their poverty when the earnings OF
four single daughters brought the fam
lily income up to ct, IS a week. Sc
generous were the Guardians in dis
bursting the money of the taxpayers
that they granted one deputation from
the unemployed a higher scale of re
lief than had been asked for.
In their own defense the Guardians
simply state, in effect, that they were
elected to help the poor people of the
borough, and they have no excuse
to offer for doing it.
