The police are now digging into

DEAD film MANS
PAPERS CHECKED
IN Clue SEARCH
Officers Still Bafled In Trying To
Solve Movie Colony
Murder

LOS ANGELES, Feb G.-Efforts
Of officials to solve the motion pic
ture puzzle of the staying of William
Desmond Taylor, director, brought
the officers early today to "cut back"
to the MISUNDERSTANDING Of the
dead mans papers in the hope Of OBJ
tanning better clue than any yet
evolved.
Jealousy, police and private detec-
tives reported today, has directed
search for a prominent young man
of New York, formerly engaged to
one of the beautiful stars of film
dom, in connection with the shoot
ing of Taylor.
A big figure in the screen world
and actor whose rise to movie fame
has been phenomenal, but whose
name the police are jealousy guard
ing, is now linked among the posi-
bilities of solution. 1t is known that
he had paid marked attention to an
actress who has been one of Tay-
lor's most intimate friends. lie ans
Wers the description of the man whom
1rs. Douglas MaeLean, a neighbor
of the slain man, saw running from
Taylor's apartment shortly after the
shooting is believed to have taken
place.
Later Developments show that the
man himself has appeared before the
police and voluntarily given an ac-
count of his own movements on the
night of the murder. He has also
been called upon to explain a tele-
phone conversation he held with the
murdered director two days before
the tragedy.
The actress mentioned in this con-
nection processes complete ignorance
both Of motive and Of the facts in
the crime.
Old Model Pistol
The bullet that ended Taylor's life
has been examined. It is an old-type
bullet, and could have been used only
IN an old model revolver. The police
are now searching every arms shop
IN the city to discover the purchaser
OF such weapon
Inc police as we'll are checking the
history of "Dapper Don" Collins,
mead of an eastern gang Of blackmail-
efs and criminals, who is known to
nave worked in the movie colony
ior some months past. While there
Is thus far no absolutely direct evil
oence to connect Collins with the
crime, the easterner's method of
Wor5ing and the fact, according to
the police, that. "they wouldn't put
u past him." has brought his name
INTO The tragedy. Collins came here
q!fectly after his flight from New
york following "a near tragedy in a
bronx apartment resulting, it is be-
Heved, from a blackmaiI scheme.
Investigation n into the past history
ol Taylor has revealed picturesque
and somewhat romantic career.

NEW YORk'S FACTORIES
WORTH THREE BILLIONS
Metropolis Leads World in Manu-
featuring by Department of
Commerce Figures.

BY United Press.
New YORK, June PIN spite of the
efforts of motion picture producers, who
would have people think of New York as
vast playground peopled by million
aires and its streets lined with cabarets
and theaters, the greatest city in the
world maintains its supremacy as the
worlds leading manufacturing center.
Statistics recently made public by the
Department of Commerce at Washington
reveal facts about the metropolis that are
hard TO reconcile with the stories of dis
sipation and hectic night life which ap-
pear TO be the rule in current periodicals
and Sunday supplements. Broadway and
Fifth avenue are not the only thorough.
fares in New York.
10 those who are accustomed to think
OF that city in terms of skyscrapers,
shopping districts and theaters, it is
surprising to learn that in 1919 goods
whose value exceeded s5,OOO,OOO,OO0
were manufactured in Manhattan and
Brooklyn. That is enough to supply
every person in the United States with
$50 worth of merchandise and is equal
to one-twelfth of the total amount of
goods manufactured in the entire coun-
try.
1t may be true that New York is a
paradise for bootleooers and that more
money is spent for amusement and
race-,rack gambling there than in any
city in the western hemisphere; yet there
are 1880 thriving manufacturing es-
Establishments with total capitalization
of more than s3,OOOOOO,OOO. These fac
tories employ almost million persons.
or approximately Is per cent of the total
population.

SYRIA ANXIOUS FOR CHANGE
Wants American Government or
None at All.

None at All.
Syria is dissatisfied with its present
form Of government, according TO N. E.
Malich, a mercantile dealer Of Spring
field, Mo-, who was born in Syria and
lived there for seventeen years. "Syria
wants American government or it wants
none." MIR. Malich said.
''Syria has less freedom and suffers
more under British and French control
now than it did under Turkish. French
men hold most of the government offices
with high salaries. which causes indig-
nation among the Syrians."
Mr.. Malich attended BeyTout College
He said that the people of Syria are well
educated, the same school SYST n exist
ing there as here. However, there are
only twelve newspapers in the country,
two or three of them being printed in
English.
Zone thing like about Missouri is its
weather which is exactly like that in
Syria" Mr.. Malich said, as he pushed his
straw hat on the back of his head and
wiped the perspiration from his face with
his handkerchief.

WHITE SLAVE
TRAFFIC NOT
STAMPED OUT
High Official Says This Evil
Has Increased Rather Than
Decreased Since
The War.
PEOPLE LACK INTEREST
Thousands of Girls Are Lured
From Homes and Trans
ported Throughout
the World.
By DAVID L. BLUMENFELD

United Press Staff COrreSpOndento
LONDON, June 22-"The whiie-slav'
traffic is very much alive"
In these words a high official Of the
eague of Nations White Slave Commits
sion dispelled the idea that White Slav
ing" is a thing of the past.
''The evil exists today just as drug
evils, drink evils, immoral.house evils ex.
ist," he explained, under the noses Of
the police and vigilante commissions Of
the whole world"
The officials explained that for several
years people have allowed themselves to
be lullcd into a sense Of indifference to
the slave traffic. $50 long as an evil does
not touch the life of these people, they
are quite content to pass it by" he said.
Nevertheless, he said, during the years
since the war, the white.slave traffic has
increased rather than decreased in vol
ume.
FLOURISHES IN CITIES -
Where does the traffic flourish?
The answer is to be found in every
town which is sufficiently large to lure
young girls out of their homes at night
in search of innocent enjoyment; towns
not only in France (alleged to be the
white slaves paradise), but in England,
Italy, Germany, Austria, Greece, Russia,
India and the United States.
In Russia there are many procurers
who have sufficiently tempting induce.
ments to lure women to the white slave
via the Ukraine, thence through Asia
Minor TO Egypt and the brothels, Of Al
exandria, where the sorting is effected
and the victim marked for shipment to
South America, or Australia, or the Yo.
ishwaras of Japan.
''Oh, yes" the official said, don't fool
yourself. There are more white women
than | would care to tell you about in
those flower quarters of Osaka, Yoko-
hama, Kobe, Nagasaki and Toxic"
India, t 90. has her procurers. white
Shaving" embraces all colors in its ten.
tacles. The pretty quadroons of the Wesi
Indies, the octroons of the Bahamas, the
dainty Nautch dancers of e India, the
geisha Of Japan, the Fellaheen women
from ancient Egypt, even the almond-eyed
Chinese are fish for the white slavers'.
AGENTS EVERYWHERE

many. The most used is the forged let
