FULL CALENDAR WAITS
FOR M. E. CONFERENCE
Annual Session Of Wilmington Body
Will Begin At Cambridge
On March q.

Encouragement of pastors, church
trial in which a minister is accused
of misapplying funds, and the first
boys conference ever held in the Will
nlington Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence will make the fifty-fourth an
nnual session of that cofcrence in
Cambridge, Nd, March 22-27 one of
the most important ever held.
While many of the pastors have
been asked to return, it is rumored
that there are likely to be many
changes. The Rev. Edwin Gardner
was given hearing year ago and
suspended pending the next meeting
Of the conference. The boys confer
ence will be unique. There will be \
representative boy from each charge
n the conference, and the boys will
hold a conference, following the
style and methods of the regular min
isterial conference. The object is to
interest boys in church work, select
possible material for the ministry
and acquaint them with the business
of the church that laymen are called
upon to transact.
Interest will centre in the district
superintendencies Having served
hut five years, it is thought the Rev
Vaughan S. Collins will be reap
uointed superintendent of the Sails
bury district.

MARY MiNTER TALKS
FORMER FIANCEE OF TAYLOR Is
SUES STATEMENT.
Declares She Has Told All She Knows
About the Tragedy-Mystery
to Her.

Los Angeles. Cal, Feb. 14.-Mary
Miles Minter, motion-p picture actress,
issued a statement here, though her
attorneys declaring that she had told
Investigators "all that she knew" of
the life of William Desmond Taylor,
motion-picture director, slain mystic
riously on the night of February l. 1t
said she could not conceive how any
person could voluntarily wrong Tay-
lor.
The statement follows:
"There is no personal or financial
sacrifice that l would not gladly make
to bring the slayer of William Des-
mond Taylor to justice.
"Mr, Taylor was one Of my best
friends. His death was a great shock
to me, l met Mr. Taylor first in 1919
when he became my director. | was
then seventeen years Of age and his
inspiration, his unfailing courtesy and
consideration not only to me- but to
all with whom he came In contact, i'm
mediately won my highest admiration.
Prom 1919 until the day of his
death Mr.. Taylor was to me the sym
Dol of honor and manliness, an inspi-
ration, friend, guide and counselor
the symbol Of all a girl admires in a
man.
"His friendship was uplifting and
his advice and aid were invaluable.
1t would be nothing less than veritable
ingratitude if did not, now that he is
dead raise my voice to proclaim what
he was and to repudiate those who
would besmirch his character.
81 have told the authorities all that
l know of both his life here and in
the East. That, fear, has been Of
little aid to them.
81 cannot conceive the character of
a person who would Voluntarily wrong
Mr.. Taylor or cause his DEATH"
Pretty Neva CARRIER, film actress,
who two years ago, was engaged to
William Desmond Taylor, slain mo-
tion-picture director, explained the
fact that checks were made out in her
name by the late director including
one for $500, about three weeks ago.
1.-THE checks which Mr.. Taylor gave
me from time to time can easily be
explained" Miss CARRIER said. cal
though our engagement was terminal
ed two years ago we remained the
best Of friends. During our engage
ment Mr.. Taylor gave me an automo-
bile as a holiday present-that is, it
was understood between Mr.. Taylor
and myself as a holiday present.
THE machine was not all paid for
at one time, and in order to prevent
gossip from misconstruing the spirit
in which the gift was made, Mr.. Tay-
Tor simply made out checks to me so
l could pay for the car in my own
name.
Numerous other checks were for
distribution to the poor. As to that
last check given me before his death,
that can be accounted for very simply.
Mr.. Taylor was always looking after
my career or doing all he could TO
help me in the film world. He knew
that l was in temporary financial
straits at that time, and voluntarily
sent me $500"

HARDING MAPS BONUS
EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE PLANS
FOR RAISING MONEY.
Congressman Asks Tax on Wine and
Beer as Way Out-Borah
Opposes Bonus.

Washington, Feb. 14.-President
Harding is expected to make known
soon the administrations attitude on
means of raising funds for the pay
ment of soldiers bonus, it was indi-
Gated in high administration circles,
Whether he would make known his
position by message to congress or
through correspondence with congress
sional leaders was not disclosed but
it was believed that some statement
would be forthcoming from the White
House shortly.
Secretary Mellon was understood to
have talked with the President on the
subject of the bonus, but he would not
comment upon the discussion. 1t was
indicated however, that he held prac-
tically the same views as those out
lined in recent correspondence with
Chairman Fordney Of the house ways
and means committee.
Payment of soldiers bonus by
means of a tax on beer and light wines
was advocated by Representative Mac
Gregor Repn n. ", who declared
during and address in the house that
millions of people, disguised with pro-
hibition, would Cheerfully pay such a
tax.
Vigorously attacking prohibition,
MacGregor said It was time for con-
gress to end the "satunala Of crime
disorder and disregard for law" which
he said had resulted from attempts to
enforce the eighteenth amendment.
In the senate Senator Borah opposed
the bonus.
Secretary Melons objections to
the bonus last year are even more
potent now" Mr.. Borah contended.
