BELIEVES TAYLOR
KILLED BY WOMAN
Negro valet's Suspicion Not
Supported by Evidence
Third Man Sought.

Special Dispatch to TIE NEW YoaK HEnArD
Los ANGELES, Feb. 20.-Herr ~ Peavey
negro valet OF William Desmond Taylor,
movie director, believes woman was
the slayer of his master.
This theory. which has been advanced
by the valet several times before IN
private interviews with the iavestiga-
tors. became public for the first time TO-
day. Deputy Sheriffs are trying 10 find
some evidence 10 support his suspicion
They admit Peavey has no proof
Police and county detectives working
on the mystery are watching a man
already caught in falsehooi who they
believe. Is conccaling someiDing he
knows about the murder. Al attempts
to trap him into a confession of some
kind have failed.
Efforts were concentrated to-day upon
two objects-first, TO find Edward r
Sands. missing secretary valet of the
slair motion picture director, and, sec
ond, to get some confirmatlon of the
suspicion that the man already under
observation is holding back something
about the murder.
A search was being conducted for a
man who. according to the statement of
George r. Arto, was talking wifi Mabel
Normand's chauffeur and Taylor's valet
outside the bungalow the night of the
murder.

woman died had been administered
forcibly. He added:
"The report have brought from Vir-
ginia shows that Miss Dixon's nose had
been broken. that one of her fingers
was torn and her body covered with
bruises think these are convincing
signs OF foul play and / do not feel
that the New York police have inves-
tigated the case properly
Martin J. Ryan. OF 252 West 10th
street the taxicab driver, was arrested
at the time of the girls death, but was
released An autopsy performed by DR..
Benjamin Schwartz. Deputy Medical EX-
aminer. was reported to have revealed

$3.50 BRANDY SOLD
FROM AUTOMOBILE
Fifth Avenue Surprised by
BoOtlegger, Caught When
Driver Steps OH Gas.

walk right up gents FOR, special
brandy. It's the real stuff and only
three fifty per quart. Come one. come
all, and get your last chanc. at real
bargain
These words were shouted by well
dressed barker standing beside an auto
mobile loaded with cases of WHAT looked
like brandy at Eighth street and Fifth
avenue yesterday afternoon. He had a
sample bottle in his hand which he Of
fered to whoever passed. 1t revealed a
rather new angle to open bootlegging.
Patrolman Michael Koenig Of Traffic
A, on post at Washington Square North,
was informed by a stranger that liquor
was being peddlee from an automobile
just short block away. Koen'g thought
it wAs joke, laughed good naturedly
and sauntered up Fifth avenIe to in
vestigate.
The driver OF the automobile roted the
approach of the patrolman and stepping
on the gas, speeded up Fifth avenue,
leaving the sidewalk salesm N behind
with the bottle. He was caught after
a short chase and taken to The Essex
Market Court, where he gave the name
of Raffaela Carmella of 275 Thompson
street. and was held in $500 on charge
of violating the Mullan-Gage act.
According to Carmella's story he wds
approached by the man in the automo-
bile and asked to assist in scl,ing the
liuuor on a commission basis of fifty
cents bottle. The brandy was ex-
amined and had the appearance ard
taste Of being fake" stuff The pris-
oner declared he did not know he was
violating the law.

CRIME WORSE, REPORTS
FINGERPRINT BUREAU
IS p. G. Increase of Drunken
Women OUer Men.

Drunkenness, pocket picking, begging,
offenses against public morality, thiev-
ing and petty crime increased markedly
in 1921 compared with 1920, accord
ing to the report of the Fingerprint
Bureau maintained in connection with
the Magistrates Court. fT1,nIaS
That drunkenness in public places was
more frequent last year than in 1920
was confirmed by fingerprint records,
which show an increase of 10 per cent.
There were 5,G91 persons fingerprinted
in 1920 when arrested for intoXication.
while in 1921 the number jumped to
627S. Intoxication increased more mark
edly among women than among men.
Chief Magistrate McAdoo noting Is per
cent. as the Increase for the sex.
The number of pickpockets arrested
was created by per cent. than i'm 1920,
but the Chief Magistrate states that
support Of the police by the courts has
reduced the number of pickpockets in
New York from thousands to hundreds.
The effect OF business depression Is
shown in an increase of 800 per cent.
in begging and 81 per cent. in vagrancy
cases.
The Chief Magistrate reports an In
crease OF 90 per cent. in arraignments
for prostitution, but says there has been
great falling off in such cases in the
last ten years. adding that earnest CO.
operation between the police and the
Magistrates in the women's courts has
made New York conspicuous among
world capitals owing to its freedom from
the menace Of street solicitation.

CRAIG ASSAILS, MEYER
DEFENDS SCHOOL BILLS
Comptroller Kissed When He
AbsoIues Board Of Education.

Comptroller Charles A. Craig de-
nounced the Meyer school bill at the
Town Hall last night as the "most naive
effort ever submitted TO take the schools
out of politics." declaring that its only
effect would be 20 remove the educa-
tional question from one set of politics
and put II into another.
The meeting under the auspices OF the
Public Education Association. developed
irto a debate between the Comptroller
and Senator Schuyler NJ. Meyer.
The Comptroller was Kissed when ne
absolved the Board of Education from
blame in the present tangle, declaring IL
was simply the scapegoat for the de-
linquencles and mistakes Of an incom-
pctent set of bureaucrats within the
school SYSTEM"
There is nothing radical about the
bill" said Senator Meyer. I'VE are not
aholishing any body's Job. They are all
safe, even Dave Hirshfield's. He can
even rewrlte the school histories, out
might say that there is nothing in the
bill to compel the school children TO
read them
The Comptroller suggested a paid
board of three local regents, to receive
a salary of not less than $1,000 each.
and advocated abolishing the Board of
Superintendents completely. THE city
could well afford TO pension the incum-
bents for life and let them sit back and
collect the royalties from the school
books they write for each other" he

There was a marked reluctance shown

are not habitues and drinking as usual.
When questioned by picketers they deny
they are transport workers
Union leaders declare themselves quite

they may take steps to prevent the dis
