TO EMPLOY GUARD
GUARD FOR EACH BANK

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 10.-That
one employee of every bank of
Pittsburgh who is an expert in the
handling of arms should be detail
ed to guard the institution against
bandits was the suggestion given
yesterday in a statement to men,
bers of the Pennsylvania Bankers
association by the committee on
protective information. The sugges-
ton stated that one man who is
actively engaged in business trans
actions should provide with fire.
arms to act in case of an emer-
gency.
. Another suggestion was that
every bank which does not have an
employee to act in such capacity
should provide for sharp shooter
of recognized ability to act in case
of an emergency.

BUSINESS SLUMP
PAST, SAYS HARDING
SITUATION NOW SUCH AS TO
JUSTIFY CONFIDENCE, PRES
IDENT WRITES MINNESOTA
FARMER AT LIVESTOCK
SHOW

Crookston, MINI. Feb. 1.-THE
general industrial and business sit
uation now is such as to justify
confidence that we are we'll past the
worst phase of the agricultural
crisis" declared President Harding
in letter read today to farmers
attending the. annual Red River
Valley Farm Crop and Livestock
Show here.
~The Improvement is we'll begun
and will continue steadily from this
time forward" said the letter,
which was addressed to C. G. Eel
Wig, superintendent of the North{
west School of Agriculture and
chairman Of the board Of managers
Of the Mid-Winter show held in
conjunction with the farmers
meeting.
After expressing regret that he
was unable to deliver personally his
message, President Harding's letter
referred to the recent National Ag-
ricuItural Conference in Washing
ton and continued:
~ am glad to say that my utmost
anticipations Of useful results from
that gathering were more than
realized. I believe it had set a new
mark in the aspirations, not only
of the agricultural community, but
indeed, of the entire country, in be-
half of better understanding Of
oar agriculture problem and of
more effective measures for deal
ing with it.
"The fine spirit of cooperation
among the farmers, and the disposi-
ton on their part to unite their ef-
forts in every possible way with
those of the government augurs
particularly we'll for our hope Of
accomplishment. The conference
gave serious and thorough consider
alton to the problems before it and
presented practicable proposals for
doing practical and worth while
things. It avoided all extremism
and adopted the wise course of
making no excessive demands for
special favors or class treatment. /
am sure that the wisdom of this
course will be demonstrated here

ANTREV|LlE NEGRO
ATTEMPTS ASSAULT
20 YEAR OLD WHITE GIRL VIC
TIM OF BRUTAL ATTEMPT.
SHERIFF'S POSSE is SEEK
ING MORRIS THOMPSON OF
ANTREVIILE

Taking advantage of the sup
posed absence from home of all
other members of the family, Nor
ris Thompson, % year old negro
man, Saturday afternoon dragged a
20 year old white girl, daughter of
a well known Antreville farmer,
from the cow shed where she was
milking into the barn where he at
tempted to assault her. She was
choked and bruised about the body
in her struggle but otherwise un-
injured, being scared away by the
attraction to the scene by the
girls screams of the girls
mother. Saturday night and
all day yesterday. Thompson, who
lives on the farm Of his victims
parents, was chased by infuriated
whites of the neighborhood, all
well armed. The pursuit continued
today, Sheriff McLane and all of
his deputies being in the party that
is attempting to capture the negro.
He had been trailed yesterday to a
point near Anderson, and today
there were various reports from
other parts of that and adjoining
counties that he had. been seen.
One report, which has so far proved
unfounded, was that he had been
captured and lynched.
FROM accounts Of the attempted
assault reaching Abbeville this
morning and yesterday it seems
that all male members of the fami-
ly were away from home Saturday,
leaving only the girl and her
mother at home Late in the even
ing the girl went out to milk the
cow, and the negro evidently think
ing she was alone at the house,
took advantage of the situation.
Choking her severely he was not
able to stop her screams and her
mother rushed to her rescue, the
negro fleeing.
Although the sheriff and two
deputies are making every effort to
arrest the negro, it is thought prob
able that if he is caught by men,
bers of the party he will be lynched.

NO LIGHT FOUND
IN MURDER CASE
MABEL NoRMAND QUESTION:
ED BY DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
DETECTIVES AND OTHER Of
FIcERs COME AND co BUT
NOTHING GIVEN OUT

Los Angeles, Feb. 11.-Mabel
Normand, motion picture actress
who was among the last persons to
see William Taylor alive, arrived at
the Sdistrict attorneys office at 8
o'clock tonight in response to a
summons from that official. -
Miss Normand later issued
statement tonight through her
manager in which she declared she
could mot offer any solution what
ever" for the Staying of Taylor.
With Miss Normand was William
Davis,her chauffeur, who drove the
actress to the Taylor home the
night the director was murdered
and who previously, in statements
to the police corroborated hes dec
laration that Taylor accompanied
her to her automobile when she de-
parted. I
She and DAVIS were there to be
questioned as to what information
they might be able to give the aus
thorities in solving the murder mys-
terry, it was stated.
Shortly before II o'clock Mr..
Woolwine announced he had nearly
finished questioning Miss Normand
and had obtained from her nothing
that would throw any further light
on the case.
The investigation today was
shrouded with more secrecy than
has existed heretofore. Detectives
and officers came and went, tele-
phones buzzed and there was an air
of great activity but little word Of
what transpired was permitted to
escape.
In announcing thatH examination
of Mary Miles Minter, actress, had
been made Tuesday, Woolwine de-
clared that she had divulged moth
ing to throw any light upon the
murder.
District Attorney Woolwine an
nounced that the letters found in a
boot in Taylor's home reported to
include those of Mabel Normand
to Taylor, were examined by detec-
tives but had not been examined by
his chief deputy or himself. He
said that he was unable to reveal
the names of any writer's of these
letters and indicated that little sig
nifcance would be attached to
them. =
