FOR TAYLOR'S SLAYER
Search For Clues Continues With
Questioning of Chauffeur of
Mabel Normand.

Los Angeles, Calf, Feb. 16.-The
search for clews as to the murderer
of William Desmond Taylor, film d.
rector, went on today with a re-ques-
tioning of William Davis, chauffeur
for Mabel Normand, screen actress,
scheduled for this morning.
Sherif's deputies, who cling to the
belief that Edward F. Sands, missing
former secretary-butler to Taylor had
nothing to do with the case, were
understood to have obtained some
information which made it desirable
to have. Davis q~uizzed again by the
District Attorney. It was understood
the additional information did not
tend to involve Davis.
The chauffeur previously has cor
roborated the statement of Miss Nor
mand who was one of the last to see
Taylor alive, that the director &C
companied her to her automobile
when she left his apartments shortly
before he was slain.
Mack Sennett, film producer and
manager for Miss Normand, has been
questioned by a representative Of
the District Attorney in the hope he
might be able to give information
leading to a clew, but without re-
suits, it was announced. Mack Sen
nett said he would be glad to aid the
author. ties in every way.
Rewards totaling $4,000 have been
offered for the arrest and conviction
of the murderer.
Officials connected with the investi-
CATION had made no comment early
today on the opinion of federal agents
that the arrest here last night Of
eleven men alleged to have extorted
money from" wealthy business men
under threats of death might lead to
a solution of the murder mystery.

DR.. Skinner is a preacher Of strik'
ing charm and power. His sermons
we're simple and yet challenged the
deepest thought of his hearers
There was no offensive sensational
ism about DR.. SINNERS preaching.
yet there was manifest freshness
originality and moving power in
every sermon.
Not only the Baptist church, but
the whole community, feels the up
