REWARDS OFFERED
 IN TAYLOR MURDER
$4.500 Offered for Information Mabel Normand's Chauffeur is
 Again Quizzed.

i Los Angeles. Feb. 15.-search fo, clews as to the murderer of William Desmond Taylor went on today with requestioning of William Davis chauffeur for Mabel Normand, sched uled for this morning
 Sheriff'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 quizzed again by the district attorney. It was understood the additional information did not tend to involve Davis.
 The chauffeur previously had cor roborated the statement of Miss Nor mand. who was one of the last to see Taylor alive. that the director accom- panied 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. but without results, 1t is announced. Sennett said he would be glad to aid the authorities in every way.
 Rewards totalling $4.5oo have been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the mur- derer.
