 The bodies which lie along the rail- roads are collected on cars and hauled to centers where they are piled in frozen, snow-covered heaps to await burial. Freezing refugees remove all garments from the dead, so the frozen bodies are nude when the scavengers collect them.
 Families drift apart and wander aim lessy on to their inevitable fate. Human instincts are lost and they become little better than beasts. The city and town populations are so hardened to suffering that they are little moved by the misery which lies all about them. Death seems more merciful in the country for the refugees; they sink into the white cov- ering of the endless plain and wolves strip their bones.

SEARCHING FOR MISSING
 BUTLER OF WILLIAM D. TAYLOR

Los Angeles Feb. 5.-The search for Edward F. Sands. missing butler of Will liam D. Taylor, motion picture director, who was mysteriously murdered last Wednesday night continued to be the most important element of the investiga- ton of Tsylor's death, police said today.
 Checking Cf the various angles of the case. among members of the motion pie ture colony and other friends and ac- uuaintances- of Tay:Jr almost invariably led to some mention of Sands name, &C., cording to detectives.
 Police said they had had several clues to Sands whereabouts, but that these mad resulted in disappointments
 Henry Peavy. valet of Taylor, who found his employers body, came to police headquarters again today and was ques- toned by detectives for a half hour. It is understood he was asked for more de- tailed information concerning the ar- rangement of Taylors furniture and other belongings in the apartments.
 Two other men. whose names were not divulged, also we've questioned at police headquarters.
 One of these men departed with detec- lives who said merely they were gotng to check up on an angle of the case that had been previously investigated. The whereabouts of letters which Miss Mabe Normand, motion picture actress. sale she had written to Taylor and which she said were missing from his apartments continued to be a matter of suspicion to- day. It is believed . that, these letters and other papers could have been re moved last Thursday morning some time during the period when Taylor's hous' was unguarded, while it was believed h, | had died of natural causes. Miss Nor
 mana said she had seen the letters in tn, 1 apartments few days before the mur der, and knew no reason why anyon,
 should want them. She said she woult
