 MOVIE DIRECTOR

(By The United Press)

Los Angeles, Feb Warrants charging Edward Sands with the Murder of William Taylor are in the hands of John Harris of Elko, Ne vada, where a man answering Sands description is under sur veillance His immediate arrest is expected The warrants were wired to the Nevada city during the night by Acting Police Lieutenant Toomey after an exchange of telegrams with the sheriff's office at Elko.
 Mrs. Ida Deane Tanner of Mon ravia, Calif., who says she is a sis ter-in-law of the slain man, contra dicted the police report to the eff feet that she believed Sands might be Taylors missing brother When shown a picture of Sands, she de- clared, "He is not my husband" 1"
 Sheriff Al Manning contended that Taylor was killed because of jealousy over woman. To sup port the jealousy theory, Manning has as evidence a pink silk night gown found in drawer of Fay lors dresser the night after tue tragedy. The garment was estab- lished as the property of an inter- nationally known film star by the initials on laundry tag.
 A man, reported as being Sands, is living in a little hotel in Carlin, Nevada, small railroad and min ing town about 20 miles from Elko.
 A love note, written to Mary Miles Minter by Taylor, is the latest exhibit relative to the directors past held at police headquarters.

BONUS BILL,
 MUST PROVIDE FOR REVENUE
President Harding Confers With Senate Leaders on Measure; Reach No Con- clusicns.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Presideni Harding informed Republican con gressional leaders yesterday that whatever soldiers bonus bill was enacted should carry with it a pro vision for raising the revenue tC finance the bonus. Various means of obtaining the money were dis cussed, but it was said that no con clusions were reached.
 It was agreed at a White House conference lasting more than an hour and a half that the problem of finances should be attacked joint ly by majority members of the House ways and means committee and the Senate finance committee. What ever agreement is reached, it was stated, would be submitted to the president with view to an accord between the executive and legisla- tive branches before the bill is sub mitted to the House.
 Chairman Irordney of the House committee and McCumber of the Senate committee said the intercom- mittec conferences would be initiat- ed soon, probably within day or two after the House committee closes it's hearings on the bonus measure.
 Both Representative Fordney and Senator McCumber said on leaving the White House that none of the many suggested methods of raising the funds, including the use of in- terest on the British debt, had been eliminated as result of the discus sion with the chief executive.
 Besides MT. Fordney, House Re publicans attending the conference were: Representative Mondell of Wyoming, the majority leader, and Representatives Green of Iowa, Long worth of Ohio, Copley of Illinois and Chandler of Oklahoma, all mem bers of the ways and means com mittee. Senators at the conference were members of the finance committee and included, besides the chairman, Senators Curtis, Kansas Watson, Indiana, and Mclean. Con necticut.

REVOLUTION IS BEING PLOTTED
 BY RADICALS
Hope to Overthrow German Government as Result of sent Outbreak of Strikes.

Berlin, Feb. As the national railroad strike becomes worse and Berlin's water, gas, electric and street car strikes have completely
 tied up the capital, the Bolshevik leaders, who hitherto have been awaiting developments quietly, are attempting to turn the strike at least into partial revolution. Storming of the Hanau railroad sta tion and disorders in Saxony, espe- cially in Halle and Dresden, were the first violent manifestations.
 Most important was last nights secret meeting of the Berlins Work CTS Council for the purpose of di- recting a general strike. It has been learned from the government Department of Security, the highest police organization, that should the workers council declare a general strike, it is likely that the Com munists will attempt to seize the Berlin government. lnasmuch as the present strike is nearly general it is probable that the other unions will call their members out.
 Communist leaders hope if they succeed in establishing workers government, the members of which already have been listed, to turn the Berlin government into a Soviet. At the same time, it is said they hope to call out the Soviets in Leipsig, Dresden, Halle and other Red cen ters.
 Communists Watched Closely.
 Chancellor Wirth discussed the situation yesterday with Commis- sioner Weissmann, head of the De- partment of public Security. The Communist headquarters is being watched, but the police believe that the Reds will hold their conferences

IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO.
 } ENLARGED
Paving Planned to Include Extensions of Both Sec ond and Third Streets North.
CFrom Tuesdays Daily)

The board of aldermen met in bimonthly session at the city hall last night and received petitions asking for the extension of improve ment district No. to include paw ing of North Second and North Third street beyond Hunt to point 345 feet south of North End ave nue, and for the paving of Plum street from the Missouri Paclflc tracks to North Fourth street. The original district embraces Pruet street from Highland to North End avenue and Hunt street, and North Second and Third to Hunt. The ad- dition to the district as represented in the petitions filed last night would give to the north end Of the city paving district of much scope, including all the main thor oughfares of that part Of the town, west of the Missouri Pacific tracks.
 The council adjourned till tonight to again consider the petitions when a notice for publication setting out the scope of the district would be prepared. It is said the petitions have been duly signed by suffi- cient number of property owners in value to give assurance that the district as now outlined will De carried through to realization or construction. It is rumored that there is an inclination on the part of many property owners of Lake street to petition to become admit ted to the new district.
 A resolution was adopted at the session of the council last night to serve notice upon the Arkansas Light X Power Company that an ordinance would be presented at the session of the board on March goth calling for a revision of electric light rates to the pre-wa1 level.

The Berlin aquariam was hard hit. When the water supply gave out the employees ran to the streets to draw water from the hydrants to save the fish. With the tanks fast becoming empty, the drains were made smaller despite the dan ger of the fish dying from lack of fresh water. The geological garden was especially hard hit and the crocodiles almost shed real tears when the water gave out.

Although capital shin building now is practically suspended, next years naval budget may provide for considerable building of auxiliary craft. Under the terms of the naval agreement, the United States is per mitted to have 135, ,000 tons of air craft carrier tonnage. At present the United States has no such ton mage. Efforts will be made by the Senate Naval Committee to have an appropriation made for at least two such vessels, costing approximately $25, 100000 each. The committee also probably will endeavor to ob- tain generous appropriation for aircraft and for additional fleet sub marines, in which the navy is sadly deficient.
