pect in the case with the murder Of
William Desmond Taylor probably
will be issued before the investiga-
ton Of the staying lapses into a pas.
sive stage, 1t was learned at the dis

New developments in the investi-
CATION OF tthe murder mystery today
indicated that a woman, one Of the
most prominent figures In the case,
will be qestioned for the second time
at the district attorneys office with.
ing the next few days for an expla-
nation of recently discovered evil
dence involving her name.
District Attorney Woolwine, II
was reported, has decided that 1t is
essential to the investigation that
the woman add to the lengthy
statement she made when she was
first questioned.
While the probability that the
woman might be questioned today
loomed as the outstanding feature
Of the investigation in Los Angeles,
the wife Of Harry Fields, who con.
fessed" he aided in the murder, drove
the last nan In the coffin in which
her husbands sensational story has
been buried as wholly without truth.
Mrs. Fields, whose home is in
Seattle, declared that Fields, who is
In jail In Detroit, never visited her
in Seattle February 3, two days
after the murder, as he claimed In
his so-called confession"
Three kilograms sent by a woman
in Los Angeles to a friend in San
Francisco, two on the night of the
murder and one on the following
morning, were being traced by de-
tectives In the Northern city today.
A woman known as Mrs. Walker" !"
to whom the kilograms and the tele.
phone message were sent, was
sought by the detectives.
Police Detectives Herman Cline,
who was sent to San Francisco to
locate Mrs. Walker" and trace the
telephone message, has returned
here with the announcement that
his search there was futile.

Ships! That's q word that's 60
ing TO have a big run in Washing.
ton this week. Every week is bonus
week now, but this week looks
also like ship week. The President
will be going out for merchant
ships and the Navy Department
will be going out for naval ships.
The President has virtually fin
ished today mastering the large and
long reports on merchant ships
made to him by Mr.. Lasker Of the
Shipping Board, and the Republi-
can members Of the Senate Com.
merce Committee and OF the House
Merchant Marine Committee have
l zen studying those reports, too:
and it looks as II the leaders Of
the Republican party in this matter
were in pretty close agreement.
The President will now 80 to
Congress officially, and, as far as
he can do II. he will put the ma
tional willard a good deal OF ma
tional public money-behind the
proposition that on the high seas
there now shall be q permanent
and powerful American merchant
marine. II he has his way about
It there are lots Of little boys in
America who think they are going

Kept Pictures as Relics.
am told in Congress that every
Republican member Of the Senate
Commerce Committee of the House
Merchant Marine Committe has ex.
pressed himself as in favor OF the
general principle Of the idea Of
national aid to the proposition of
American ships with American sea-
men on them. remember that
Congressman Gardner Of Massa-
chusetts used to have large numbers
OF old prints of American ships on
the walls OF his house. They were
sailing ships. They belonged TO
members Of his family long dead.
They belonged to the days when 1t
was one OF our national pastimes to
race British ships across the
Atlantic. We could often beat them
then. We do not beat them now.
The idea 10 to get back to being as
kOOu at IL as we useu 10 Dc.
But there seems to be no reason
why our British friends should think
that there is any hostility to them In
this new proposition. The ambition
behind II 10 very moderate. At ore
time in the early days OF our ma.
tional history our ships used TO carry
sometimes 20 or 80 per cent OF the
total tonnage Of our exports and
imports, The plans which the Pres
ident will present to Congress are
based on the notion that our ships
ought to carry simply so per cent
of our exports and imports.
The Shipping Board and the Presi.
dent are not looking for an American
shipping monopoly OF American for.
eign trade. They are looking only
for what might be called "our half
of the business.
VIII Get Reduced Taxes.
The President will advocate direct
aid to American ships and also in
direct aid. He will advocate q
subsidy which will cost perhaps
about s36. 900 900 a year. That viii
be the direct aid. The indirect aid
will be of many kinds. American
shippers who ship their exports in
American ships instead Of In foreign
ships will get increased deductions

Branding Judge Robinson Mon
cure, Little Reno's divorce magis-
trate, as a "cringing coward, un-
worthy of the confidence and re-
spect of the people of Alexandria, /"
the Rev. DR.. D. H. Martin, pastor
Of Trinity Methodist Episcopal
Church, Alexandria, last night de-
manded a grand jury investigation
Of the divorce scandal in that city.
Speaks Upon Scandal
He chose as his subject THE
Alexandria Divorce Situation" and
spoke to a capacity congregation,
including members from other
churches, the mayor and other city
officials who had gone to hear him.
His sermon was interspersed with
''amens," and at the conclusion of
his indictment against Little Reno's Q
Judge and members Of the divorce
ring an expression Of approval was
made by DR.. Martins congregation,
who arise en- masse as an express
sion OF Endorsement of his remarks.
DR.. Martin-the first being that
Judge Moncure's silence had brand
ed him as a coward in his refusal
to call a grand jury investigation,
and the second that the Alexan-
dria Bar Association should take
drastic action to clean house" and
not 60 on with the present white
washing" proceedings.
"As pastor of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Church Of Alexandria,
publicly call upon Judge Moncure
to request the governor of this
state to name a Judge who will. in
his place, have the power to call o
grand jury to investigate the di-
vorce situation in Alexandria to
the fullest, broadcast and deepest
extent"
His failure TO do this at the out.
set of this expose brands him an a
coward and has lost for him the
sympathy and confidence of the
public because he did not take this
action and has not defended him.
self against this criticism.
Times Ii Commended.
Had there been any answer to
the criticism of the Washington
Times, no self.respecting Judge
would have stood under the daily
accusations Of The Times without
defending himself.
There can be but one inference
his silence has proven his guilt
and he is unfit to be judge and
unworthy to hold his high office.
