There was great conjecture as to
how these letters reached their hiding
place. 1t was suggested that Taylor
feared their theft and had hidden
them there. Another theory was that
some one interrupted in their ex-
animation after Taylors death while
still another theory was that they
had been placed there after the per-
son or persons who took them at the
time of Taylor's death had extracted
desired documents.
The letters and kilograms of Taylor
accumulated, investigators said, dur

stars as Mary Pickford, Mary Miles

Miss NOrmand Is Anxious.
Miss Normand was reported to have
made efforts to recover her letters
for several days, but had failed. She
was quoted as saying that she wished
to have them because some of the
terms mentioned in them might be
misconstrued, altho she and the di-
rector understood there was no serious
love secret.
Henry Peavey, Taylor's negro
houseman. when he discovered the
handkerchief, is said to have re-
marked:
This is the thing that some folks
seem to have been bothered about"

1t was reported today that District
Attorney Woolwine is considering
placing the trial of Madalynne Oben-

Public Warned to Beware of a

Taking KurOkOl, the New Sci

Money Refunded If Kurokol

Leading authorities are using every
effort to arouse the public to the dam
ger of letting common colds just run
their course, for it is definitely known
that many serious lung complications
such as pneumonia, grippe, etc, de-
velop from colds that hang on per-
sistently.
Colds are durable and preventable
and Kurokol provides the safest,
surest and quickest, as well as the
most practical, treatment for colds yet
discovered.
Kurokol is almost magical in its eff
feet. The first dose usually stops the
tendency to sneezing and coughing.
and relieves the feeling of discomfort,
and the second and third doses usually
suffice to stop the progress of a cold
altogether.
The wonderful efficiency of Kuroko1
is best shown by the fact that all

tory results.-Adv.

RAIL WORKERS MAY join

Indianapolis, Feb. 9.-The most
gigantic strike of coal miners in the
history of the United States doomed
as a strong possibility today as the
mine workers began digging in" for
a last ditch fight against wage reduc-
tons.
For the first time in the annals of
the American coal industry it 30
peared likely that miners of the BIZ
luminous and anthracite fields would
lay down their tools in concert.
The added menace of possible
simultaneous nation wide railroad tie
up hinges upon acceptance by the six
teen major railroad unions of the
miners invitation to join them in a
defense alliance" Whether the rail-
readers will elect to pool their inter-
ests with the coal workers is yet to be
determined
Wage agreements in both the hard
and soft coal districts expire for the
first time on the same date, March 81.
Operators all alone the line have an
nounced their intention of cutting
wages.
Miners thruout the country not only
are standing pat for retention of what
they have but are demanding in
creases.
Unless one side or the other recedes.
CT unless the federal government in
tervenes. it is admitted, a strike of the
United Mine Workers-most powerful
single union in America-appears in
evitable.
Concerted Action Big Factor.
Half a million miners. 100000 of
them in the bituminous and the re-
mafnder in the hard coal fields, are
affected by the crucial emergency

the anthracite and bituminous oper-
ators is too important for specula-
ton" said one international official
of the United Mine Workers, and yet

new THIRD PARTY
Object Is to Relieve Long SUf-
fering Middle Glass.
Senator BOrah Considered as
Probable Presidential Timber.

New York, Feb. "a third party
has been launched with the object of
rescuing the long suffering middle
class and organizing it for political re-
volt.
According to gossip, United States
Senator Borah is under consideration
as the most promising of presidential

| 'irreconciliable" would not be adverse
to the notion if shown sufficient
strength behind the movement. which
was inauSurated by the committee of
forty-eight and already has perfected
organizations in thirteen states.
The new party declares for the
emancipation of the great American
middle class.
If it's program as outlined today is
carried out. the white collar worker
and the small business man who have
endured the high cost of living. hard
times and other ills in silence. will go
organized to the polls in the next con-

wrongs and demand their place in the
sun.
THE aim of our movement is to re-
lease the middle class from the
stranglehoId of Wall street. j A. H.

of forty eight, said today.
The new political movement tenta-
tivly has adopted the name of Liberal

before he had given an opportunity to
argue with his assassin.
Had Been Laid Out"
Another interesting angle came to
light today when Detective Zeigler, the
first officer to reach the scene of the
shooting, told of finding the body ly-
ing in such a position as to indicate
that he had been laid out" after the
fatal shot was fired.
He was not sprawled across the
floor, the detective said. He was lying
on his back. his legs Strengthened out
with his arms by his sides.
From this information investigators
raised the point that the murder might
have been committed by an admirer
whose hands after firing the shot that
ended the noted directors life then
tenderly Strengthened out the body in
its last repose.
In connection with the search for
Sands, wanted on robbery charges as
well as in connection with this murder,
the police have made an effort to drop
the former charges if he will surren-
der and tell what he knows of the
Taylor mystery.
Police say Sands, even if he has
nc knowledge of the crime, would be
able to give much valuable informa-
ton because of his close association
with Tt ylor while in his employ It
was reported that a man answering

AMERICAN CARDINALS IN ROME
Arrive ~ Hours Too Late to Vote in
Election of Pope.

Rome, Feb. Cardinal Daugherty
Of Philadelphia, and Cardinal Begin
of Quebec, Canada, arrived here today,
seventy-two hours too late to partici-
pate in the election of the new pope.
Fifty students from the American and
Canadian colleges met the two prelates
when their train arrived.
Il am happy to be in Rome, but
naturally regret I am too late for the
conclave,'' said Cardinal Daugherty.
Then he added: TT could not be
helped
The late arrivals bring the number
of cardinals in Rome up to fifty-two
for participation Of the coronation of
the pope on Sunday. (The number of
cardinals in the conclave was fifty
three, but these figures included
Cardinal Ratti, who was elected to the
papacy.)
1t had been reported that Cardinal
Marieni died of influenza during the
conclave, but this evidently was un-
true.
Arrangem were made for Car
dina1s Daugherty and Begin to go to
the vatican as quickly as possible to
pay their respects to the newly elected
pOntiff.

REFUSE TO ACCEPT LEGACY
Robert Stone. Executor of Will, APP
pals to Court.
me refusal OF two beneficiarie

The refusal of two beneficiaries to
accept the legacies left them by Miss
Gertrude E. Barnes, who died June
10, 1921. led Robert Stone, executor
of the will, to appeal to the district
court for assistance today. Stone filed
a petition il the office of w. E. An
derson. clerl. of the court, naming all
Miss Barnes beneficiaries as defen-
dants, in which he asks for an inter-
probation of certain sections of the
will and the appointment of trustees
tC handle the trust funds.
Miss Barnes left $4,000 to the Ingle-
side Home for aged women, specify
ing that the money should be invested
and the proceeds used to defray the
admittance charges of aged Baptist
women to the home. The deacons of
the First Baptist church were to de-
eide upon the applicants. Stone, in his
petition, asserts the home declines to
accept the endowment unless it have
the privilege of passing upon the APP
plications, in view of the fact that
1t is undenominational.
Gerald Eugene Barnes, a nephew, to
whom Miss Barnes left $3.50 cash and
eighty acres of land in jefferson coun-
ty, has expressed dissatisfaction with
his legacy and refused to accept it, ac-
cording to Stone. These matters will
have an influence upon the distribu-
ton of deal estate now held in trust
by the Prudential Trust company and

divided among the heirs share and
