Miss Minter in Seclusion
After the finding Of the note the
young film star on the advice Of her
mother and her attorney, refused to
sec anybody. Private detectives to-
night guard the front and rear en-
frances to her Hollywood home, refus-
ing admlttance to any of the numerous
callers who might be expected to cues
ton her about the significance Of her
note.
1t is pointed out that Miss Minter.
well known as child player on the
speaking stage before her screen debut.
was less than sixteen years old when
Taylor WAS directing her camera cf-
forts. This is accepted, in some quar-
ters at least, as bearing out her origi-
nal statements that her feeling for
Taylor were those of a young girl for
a much older man
In this connection it is added that
Miss Minter's standing in the ilm
colony is little more than that of q
child, although she has outgrown the
childish frocks that characterized her
earlier screen work. She does not par
ticipate in any Of the social affairs Of
the motion picture colony and seldom
appears in public except in the COM
pany Of her mother.
The cverpresent Henry Peavey, Tay-
lors crocheting valet, to-day added to
his stories of affairs at the bungalow
this time describing a mysterious lace
handkerchief that was declared to have
held the attention of Taylor on numer-
Gus occasions.
"He used to hold it in his hand and
kiss it," said Peavey. 81 never knew
to whom it bclongcd.' Whether the
handkerchief was the property of Tay-

SIBERIAN SOIL
Closing Scenes of the Eyac-
uation Are Accomplished
Without Undue Disorders,
Toxic Informed.

Toxic, Oct. 26 (by the Associated
Press) As the fleet of ten Japan
ese transports steamed from Vladi-
yostok barber today bearing away
the last of the Milado's soldiers
and leaving the Primoria in the
hands OF the Reds, Japan closed
her books on her adventure on the
Siberian mainland. with total on
the debit side OF upwards of L.
500, 600, 900 yen.
Added to this drain on the gov
ernment's excheqner, there is a
loss to Japanese farmers and bus
mess men who abandoned their
holdings as their soldiers withdrew
which will run into millions. The
actual cost of the final evacuation
was 100000 yen.
A year ago there were 10000
Japanese civilians on the Siberian
mainland. Today there are less
than 1000, of whom 1880 still
are in Vladivostok and a few bum
dred in the interior. Three empty
transports ride at anchor in the
harbor to carry these away If 1t
becomes necessary or desirable.
The closing scenes of the evac-
uation were accomplished without
undue disorders, according 10 OF
ficiaI advices received here. Rep
resentatives of the soviet gov rn-
ment of Moscow and of the FAR
eastern republic of Siberia TOOK
over from the Japanese the keys
of the warehouses containing arms.
The mikado's troops filed up the
gangplanks of the transports and
sailed away, while ashore a lonely
Japanese officer wearing the last
Nipponese uniform left in the city
officially presided at the transfer
of the much discussed stores oil
munitions.
The foreign office denies charges
