nation as president of the city com
mission in a signed communication to
the commissioners and the people OF
the city, He asks that his resignation

also probable that the commission

FEELING VERY TENSE.

Belfast, Feb. 13.-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-Owen O'Duffey, chief of
staff of the Irish Republican army,
who went to Clones yesterday to in
vestigate Saturday nights disorders
there said in an interview today he
found feeling very tense throughout
Monaghan county because of the un-
lawful arrest and detention of the en-
tire divisional staff of the Republican
army at Dromore, County Tyrone.
(This probably has reference to a
number of Gaelic football players
wearing Irish Republican uniforms
who were arrested Januay Is while on
their way from Monaghan to London
derry. They were declared by the
Royal Irish constabulary to have been
armed)
"In this area" said Chief O'Duffey,
'I succeeded in allaying the feeling
somewhat. If the army officials are
not released l cannot promise or
guarantee peace in this part Of the
country"

Mary Miles Minter Asserts That
Taylor Was Soul of Honor

TELLS ALL SHE KNOWS
In Statement Through Attorneys
She Says She Has Given All
Information Possible t..

Los Angeles, Feb. 13.-Mary Miles
Minter, motion picture actress, issued
a statement here today through her
attorneys declaring that she had told
investigators all that she knew Of the
life Of William Desmond Taylor, mo-
ton picture director, slain myster-
iously twelve days ago.
The statement follows:
"There is no personal or financial
sacrifice THAT l would mot gladly
make to bring the slayer of William
Desmond Taylor to justice.
"Mr. Taylor was one of my best
friends. His death was a great shock
to me. l met Mr.. Taylor first in 1919
when he became my director. was
then II years OF age and his inspira-
ton, his unfailing courtesy and con-
sideration not only to me but all with
whom he came in contact Immediately
won my highest admiration.
From 1919 until the day of his
death Mr.. Taylor was to me the SYM
boil Of honor and manliness, an inspir-
alton, friend, guide and counsellor
the symbol Of all girl admires in a
man.
His friendship was uplifting and
his advice and aid were invaluable. 1t
would be nothing, less than veritable
ingratitude if l did not, now that he
is dead, raise my voice to proclaim
what he was and to repudiate those
who would besmirch' his character.
81 have told the authorities all that
l know both Of his life here and his
life in the east. That, l fear, has been
of little aid to them.
II cannot conceive the character of
a person who would voluntarily wrong
Mr.. Taylor or cause his DEATH"

Anticipates Good Business For
1922 Many Orders on
File, He Says

The Automobile Shows this year
were we'll attended, in fact, broke all
previous records as to sales and at
tendance, and as usual, the crowds
gathered around booths occupied by
one-half dozen standard cars, accord
ing to Mr.. Lahr Of the Lahr Motor
Sales Company, who has returned
from business trip east.
Price reduction announcements
started just prior to the New York
Show and came to an end about the
middle Of the Chicago Show week
with the announcement of the re-
ducton of the Four Cylinder Nash
Touring to $985.00, an exceptionally
low price for this car Men high up
in the industry have expressed the
opinion that price reductions are over
with and that any change in price
during the next few months is liable
to be an increase.
Mr.. Lahr attended an Overland
meeting at Chicago and a Nash meet
ing at Minneapolis, "After having
hobnjubbed for ten days with factory
men and distributors from various
parts of the country and represent
ing various makes of automobiles"
said Mr.. Lahr, II have come home
full of optimism-not that / went
away at all pessimistic. In the first
place, knowing that the process OF
eliminate ton is now taking place as
concerns automobile manufacturers,
am certainly glad that the Lahr
Motor Sales company represents
cars that will survive. The WHY'S
Overland Company's resources are
such that they are easily able to
weather this elimination process;
and Nash is considered by everybody
in the business to be a rock in the
industry and second on the list as to
financial strength. When you know
that out of the hundreds Of autom0-
bile manufacturers only six compan-
les built "a per cent of the cars sold
in 1921, Nash and Overland being
two of the six, you can readily see
that a great many Of the manufac-
turers in the other 16 per cent must
20. So l say, I'VE are glad we are be-
hind cars that will be here when the
storm is over.
"Another phase of the industry
that is especially pleasing to one in
the business is, that apparently
prices are now at rock bottom, ano
undoubtedly the public realizing this
will begin buying cars built by the
leading and financially strong com
panies.
"The attitude of bankers in east
ern cities, was another condition
found that could not help but make
for optimism. A big Minneapoli:
banker remarked to me that at thi:
time he considered North Dakota ;
safer state for investments thar
Minnesota or South Dakota, for tn
reason that North Dakota has no de
hation to go through, while in Min
nesota and South Dakota it is har'
to know real values.
1--WE anticipate good busines
during 1922; in fact, we have NOR
orders on file now than We have ha
at this time of the year since 1917.
Several carloads of the variou
models Of Willysknight, Nash an
Overland cars, are enroute to tn
Lahr Motor Sales company at thi
time.
