looked over an old scrap book to-day
and then gave his belief that Taylor
under the name OF Cunningham Deane,
played with the Fannie Davenport Com
pany at the Fifth Avenue Theater In
New York In 1894. and later In Bos-
ton and during a tour of the country
in 1895 and 1895.
Taylor's body, dressed in the uni
form OF British officer he wore In the
world war, was viewed to-day by many
friends and others at an undertaking
establishment where it will lie until
the funeral services Tuesday at St.
Pauls Episcopal Pro-Cathedrai.
Many flowers were sent there, too. to
await transfer after the services, to
the cemetery vaule, where the body will
be held until the arrival of the directors

Lester Wing, a Chinese, former chauf-
feur for Taylor, said to-day the director

one woman. She was my stage partner.

before we could be married-and III

The only woman whom Taylor called
upon often during Wings service with
him was Neva Gerber, Aim actress, who

had been engaged to be married

together two or three times a week. ac-
cording to Wing, Taylor passed most

night characterized as ridiculous" the
report she had been engaged to marry
Taylor, a rumor that spread after it
was discovered the only framed photo
graph found in the directors apartments
was one of her.
Miss Kingston and Taylor had been
intimately acquainted, she said. a fact
she attributed to their both being Of
British birth. She said he told her
something Of his domestic affairs.
II also learned something of Sands,
the butler" said Miss Kingston. when
Edward Knoblock was living at Mr..
Taylor's home, Sands at various times
bought considerable amount of lin
gerie, which, understand. he gave to a
young girl--a very young creature--in
whom he was interested and who lived
at home with her mother. All of this
he charged to Mr.. Taylor's account at
a Los Angeles department store, i was
told. This naturally enraged the .direc-
tor when he returned from abroad.

posed new wage schedule, cut wages APP
proximately 35 per cent. the actual cuts
ranging from 81 to more than 46 per
cent.
The operators further acknowledge
that they have given up the idea of
fixing wages by agreement with the
union and assert 1t is futile to deal with
the United Mine Workers. Some re-
fused to enter into conference with the
union heads
At a meeting at Shamokin Mr.. Lewis
had this to say about the bituminous
fields:
"The bftuminous industry is in a de-
plorable condition. Though the poten-
tial production of the bituminous coal
areas is S00.0oo.o0o tons year. in
1921 their output was only 100000, 900,

representing an average proportion OF
unemployment OF so per cent. The pro-
duction of 1921 was practically that of
1911, when the output was 405. 900. 900
tons"
In view of the overwhelming impor-
lance of the wage question there may
be some interest In what a miner
makes. Here there appears TO be wide
discrepancy between the views of
authorities. Mr.. Lewis, in the same
speech, telling OF a friend who paid,
in Philadelphia, STATS for a ton of
soft coal said: yet the miner did
not get over 81 for mining 1t and the
cost at the mine did not exceed s1.75."
representative OF group of oper-
ators asserts he has payrolls to show
that miners of anthracite made targe
incomes last year. the high point he
says. being reached by a man who made
not less than $1.4o0 a month for a
period of six months Another man.
student of the coal business and un-
says he knows of a case
of miner making $500 a month. He
has a series of studies made for ten
months period in 1919 and these show
that In the non-union mines the daily
wage ran from SIS upward, and the
income was seldom less than
SIPS.
The reduced wages offered by the
operators in Ohio and Pennsylvania may
serve as a guide, so some of the figures
are quoted:

the police station, and although many
OF them are not regarded as valuable on
the surface all are being carefully
checked that no clew be overlooked,
The police are anxious to find Sands
because OF the knowledge he may have
of Taylor's life. The uncovering of the
dual existence led by the prominent
director has strangely muddled the
situation. Many new motives and pos
sibiIities have been brought to the front
because of Taylor's dual life and mys-
