Los ANGELES, Feb. ASSOCIATED
Press) Harry Peavey. Taylor's valet
told the police he left the apartment,
according to his custom, at about 1880
o'clock last night. He said Miss Nor
mand was still there at that time, having
arrived while he was serving dinner
about half an hour earlier The police
made 1t plain they had no suspicion so
far as Miss Normand was concerned, but
questioned her merely Ia looking for pos
sible clews in all available quarters.
When Taylor's body was FIRST found
it was thought he had died from a hem
orrhage. so slight was the wound in his
neck left by the passage of the bullet.
After this wound was discovered search
was begun for a pistol, but it could not
be found. Nothing in the apartment
was disturbed. the slayer, apparently.
having fed without leaving a single clew
behind.
For several months 1t had been
rumored, but never confirmed, that Miss
Normand was engaged 90 marry Taylor.
The detectives expressed the belief the
director was slain by a man. 1t was
thought possible the slayer enabled en-
trance to the Taylor apartments while
the director was accompanying Miss Nor
mand to her automobile. The police
further advanced the theory that Taylor
had been slain by a man who was Jealous
Of him, and elaborated this to include
several possibilities.
Miss Normand was said by the police
to have received her first word of the
tragedy through Edna Purviance. also q
motion picture actress, whose apartment
is near that occupied by Taylor. Miss
Purviance called Miss Normand on the
telephone as soon as she heard the de-
tails OF the shooting.
The police were said to be considering
the possibility that Taylor was shot by
the discarded suitor of some woman
with whom ne had been friendly by q
former servant he had caused to be ar
rested for an alleged crime and who was
said to have threatened his life: by
burglar who was surprised when Taylor
returned from escortlng Miss Normand
to her car. or possibly by woman who,
for some unknown reason, had become
enraged at him.
Miss Norman stated tonight there
had been no affair of the heart whatever
between her and Taylor.
His friendship for me was that OF
an older man for a girl who liked the
outdoor sports he liked, and who was
eager to CLEAN little enlightenment
from the vast storehouse OF knowledge
he possessed"

Finds Absence Establish ed.

after carefully considering the evil
dence on the question whether the ac-
cused was within the State of New Jer-
sey on either or both of the dates named
I have reached the conclusion that as
TO the date flrst charged the evidence
establishes absence from
the State, and that as to the second
charge the great weight of the evidence
establishes absence from the State.
The case is somewhat unusual. No
attempt whatever was made by the de-
manding State to show why suspicion
was drawn to the accused. to support the
rather improbable stories of the COM
planning witness in each case or to ex-
plain their ability to identify the ac-
cused. That omission may be due to
reliance by the prosecuting attorney
upon the proposition that evidence of an
albi would not he considered and that
the Governor would not undertake to re-
solve a conflict of testimony even on the
question whether the accused was q
fugitive from justice.
'I find the law to be tho other way
on both of those propositions, and upon
the evidence I find that the accused was
not within the demanding State at the
time of the commission of either of the
crimes charged and. therefore, must de-
cline to grant extradition."

MACNIDER REFUSES

LANCASTER, Pa. Feb. 2.--Hanford
MacNider of Mason City, Iowa, the
thirty-two year old national commander
of the American Legion, has been Of
fered the appointment as United States
Senator to succeed Senator Kenyon, who
resigned to take appointment as United
States District Court Judge, and has re-
fused the offer. MacNider arrived here
late tonight from Washington, where no
appeared before the House Ways and
Means Committee TO advocate the pass
age of the fivefold compensation act. He
refused to discuss the question OF the
offer of appointment.
Members of his party however, stated
openly that ne has been besieged by
political powers to take the position. AS
surances have been given to him from
the strongest political centers during his
stay In Washington and by communion
tions from Iowa that the appointment is
his If he will accept.
These, his companions state, have been
met with the one answer 1.-THE American
Legion has not been, is not and L hope

Washington. ID. O., Feb. 2.
The agricultural bloc lost its leader in
the Senate by a narrow margin under an
unusual circumstance. For time
to-day promoters Of the new farmers
political movement thought that Senator
Kenyon would have TO remain in the
Senate as one of the two representatives
OF Iowa. whether hc liked il or not.
The Constitution of the United States
was invoked to prove Mr.. Kenyon Is not
eligible for appointment as Judge of the
Eighth United States Circuit to which
President Harding appointed him on
Monday and for which he was confirmed
by the Senate.
To prove the Iowa Senator would have
to continue e. lead the agricultural
forces IN the upper house the second
clause OF Article I. OF the Constitution
was cited. This reads as follows:
mo Senator or representative shall.
during the time for which he was
elected. be appointed to any civil office
under the authority cf the United
States which shall have been created.
or the cmoluments whereof shall have
been increased during such time and
no person holding any office under the
United States shall be member OF
either house during his continuance in
office"
This Constitutional provision seemed
to the promoters of the agricultural bloc
to bar the escape of their leader in the
national Legislature. In support of their
contention they produced the record to
show the salary of Circuit Judges was
increased from $1,000 to $500 in 1919
while Senator Kenyon had rounded out
tho first term to which he had been
elected. The legislative records show

Albany. Feb. ..
Gov. Miller refused to-day to grant
the request of the Governor of New
Jersey for the extradition of Alex
ander Macarthur. a young artist, and
member of prominent New York
family, indicted for assaults alleged to
have been committed in New Jersey
on September IL and October 10.
Gov. Miller ruled that evidence pre-
sented at his hearing in Albany was
overwhelming in proof that Macarthur
was not in New Jersey on either date
and was not fugitive from justice.
He overruled the contention of New
Jersey that proof of an alibi could not
be considered to defeat extradition be-
cause that would be a matter of de-
fense al the trial.
Macarthur is accused Of attacking a
girl about 90 on September II and q
middle aged woman on October 10. on a
lonely path leading through fields 10

Before Gov. Miller eight witnesses testi-

mother at her summer home in Vine

family.

RIOTOUS MOBS FIRED
ON BY ALLIED POLICE,

Constantinople, Nov. s. (by the
Associated Press) The nationalist
government is in control Of Com
stantlnople. Rafet Pasha is the
new governor and Hamid Bey,
the representative OF the Angora
government, has ordered the allied
troops out. In n note TO the en-
tente he demands evacuation of the
allied forces.
The Turks have torn up the
Mudania armistice convention and
are advancing into the Chanak
area occupied by the British and
other neutral zones.
Since noon Saturday the nation
alist administration is declared to
have been established and in cele-
bration of this, masses of excited
Turks have been engaged in dis
orders. Students marched against
the palace and riotous mobs en-
gagged In such manifestations that
IT become necessary for the allied
police to fire on them, several of
the Turks being killed or wounded.
The Christians in the Stamboul
quarters throughout Saturday
night were seeking shelter and pro-
lection from what they plainly
feared-a Turkish massacre.
Today, however, the government
authorities issued orders that all
disturbances should be vigorously
put down. The allied high COM
missioners accepted the new regime
and there was nothing left for the
sultan's ministry but resign.
Tewfik Pasha, the grand vizier.
realizing that his power had dis
appeared, despatched messages to
the representatives Of the sublime
porte in the various capitals to
transfer their archives to the rep
rerentatives Of the Angora govern
ment.
There seemed danger for a time
that the radical forces would gain
tho upper hand. The sultan was
renounced. together with the mon
archy, and Mustapha Kemal Pasha
was acclaimed as "our president"
1t became necessary to throw
guards of troops around the sui
tan's palace. within which MohaIn-
med VI now caliph, only, is spend

AS yet Mohammed VI has given
no evidence of conforming to the
determination of the new govern
ment to rid Turkey OF the high
office of sultan but the quickly de-
veloping popular movement may
soon compel him, with the loss
OF his chiefs. to accept the newt
