NOTHING To CONCEAL
. SAYS LOVELY MABEL
Film Beauty in Taylor Case
Calls implications of Love
Silly Gossip.
by International News Service.


Los ANGELES, Feb. 11.-Here
are the nigh lights of Mabel Nor
mand's first newspaper interview
since the Staying of William D. Tay,
lor. published today in a copyrighted
by the Examiner:
There is no secret about any
phase of my relations with Mr..
Taylor.
my letters to him-I would gladly
set them before the world IL the
authorities care to do that. have
nothing to concel.
'I have been charged with trying
10 recover those letters. with trying
to conceal them. That is silly.
Categorical Denial.
IT should like to deny a number OF
things that have been charged
against me.
First, that I told some one
expected to marry Mr.. Taylor. ]
never said 1t.
Second, that I was with him on
New Years eve at the Ambassador
Hotel and that we quarreled after
ward.
ct never quarreled with him and
he did not return any jewelry to
me.
1T Is cruel for any one to insinuate
that the night dress found among
tn hal 80
initials which / understand were
found on 1t refute that.
THE night of Mr.. Taylor's death
was the only time 1 ever was alone
with him in the house.
The book for which Miss Nor.
mand said she called at Taylor's
home) was 'Rosmundy,' by Ethel M.
Dell. 1t was not a copy of one OF
Freud's works, as had been said.
II knew Mr.. Taylor had letters OF
mine. Once, several weeks before he
was murdered, saw them in q
drawer Of his desk. I demonstrated
with him.
Why do you save my letters
Billy?" I asked. There's nothing In
Them He merely smiled in answer
Letters Are Casual.
IL thobc icttcEb you
will see that they are most of them
casual. They express the TESTING
spirit that characterized our rela
tons. We leased each other and
made fun of each other a great deal
We did that continually on the night
before he was murdered, when
dropped in for a few minutes to see
him.
LIT has been said that check stubs
found on Mr.. Taylor's desk and the
tact that he had drawn some money
from the bank just before he was
killed would indicate that perhaps
some one was trying to blackmai
him. I don't believe it, He had his
eheckbook out that night and was
going over his checks for one reason
bnly.
Ever since Sands. his former
butler. had forged his name, Mr.
Taylor had examined every check
That came In carefully. He told m,
mat he could hardly tell Sands
sorgeries from his own signatures
md he was afraid that the swindlins
was going on all along.

AND THIS ADMINISTRA-

THAT.
This was a small country,
torn by civil war, when Sew
ard warned Lincoln that to
free the slaves would "break
up the production Of cotton for
sixty years" and that "for-
eign nations would intervene
to prevent the abolition Of
slavery for the sake of cotton"
He meant that England. al
ready openly hostile. would
attack the North to protect her
cotton mill interests. But Lincoln
ran the United States. for the
UNITED STATES. and after he
had chewed his wooden pen
handle and THOUGHT. he sign
ed the emancipation proclama-
ton, and England did not declare
war on US.
That is the Lincoln incident
that American statesmen. if
there are any. should think Of
now. as they prepare to put his
nation under the tutelage and
guidance of foreign powers
simply because those powers
had not sense enough to refrain
from cutting each others
threats first and bankrupting
themselves in war expense after
wards.

Senate Split On
Tariff Is Closed

WASHINGTON, July 17.-The split in
the Republican senate ranks which de-
yeIoped last week when the cotton sched-
ule was taken up, closed today after the
last of the rates on cotton cloth had been
approved. Senator Lenroot, Republican,
Wisconsin, sought to have the committee
rates on fancy woven cloth and on yarn
and cloth containing long staple cotton
cut-down, but was unsuccessful, only
three Republicans voting with him.
On manufactured cotton such as quilts
and bedspreads, Senator Lenroot and the
other Republicans, except Borah of Ida
no, voted to sustain committee rates
which were reduced generally five per
cent from the figures originally proposed
by the committee.
Discussing the additional duty of IL per
cent ad valorum on fancy woven cloth,
which finally was approved, "a to %, SEN
ator Lenroot stated. and Senator Root
of Utah. in charge of the cotton schedule
for the finance committee majority, con-
ceded that this amendment as originally
by the committee was "word for
word as proposed by former Senator
Henry r. Lippitt. a cotton goods manu-
facturer Of Providence, r. I. Later Sem
tor Lenroot said the committee had
struck out the words 'tof more than one
color and more than one thread" and
Senator Smoot remarked that if there
was any "joker'' In the Lippitt proposal 1t
was in the part stricken out.

WASHINGTON, July 17-Occupied al

about resumption of work in the coal
fields, administrative officials Of the gov

road strike situation. Indications were

Emphasis were placed by most officials,
however, on the statement that events
within the next few days win necessarily

was expressed that 1t would not be neces-
sary to take any drastic action. Every
thing pointed to deliberation and careful
consideration prior to any decision and
for proof the governments action with re-

Railroad was pointed to.

Hint That Troops Will Be Fur

(ey The AssocIated PrOss)

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Bitumin-
Gus coal mine operators were invited
by President Harding at the White
House, today ito return to your mine
properties and resume operations
after they had replied to the presi-
dents tender of arbitration for settling
the national coal strike with a collect
i've offer to put their properties and
their services at the disposal of the
government, "ln this crisis" Speaking
as chairman Of the group Of operators
after the White House conference, Al
fred M. Ogle said the employers would
make the attempt to resume opera
tions.
Operators Not A Unit
Meanwhile, the miners union, thru
an adjournment sine die of its con-
trolling policy committee, made certain
its refusal to- accept the arbitration
proposal and many OF its officials inn
mediately left washington. The bitu-
minous operators were likewise not
a unit in accepting the government ar
bitration proposal, but the president
said that "a large majority of them,
by unqualified acceptance, had given
him occasion to express my own and
the public's gratitude"
Promise Troops. ...
There were intimations in official
circles that all the implication Of the
decision to ask that the mines be
opened had been fully considered by
the government and that there was a
possibility that the protection OF troops
and the American flag would be fur-
nished in districts where men were
willing to work, failing sufficient local
safeguarding. Employers geheraNS
held the view that some coal produc-
ton would result in union fields In
PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio, if nowhere
else, even though executives of the
non-union mines south of the Ohio
river reported today that output was
being cut off rapidly through lack OF
transportation due to the railroad
strike. -
