Negotiations Discussed.

Negotiations with the debtor na- tions probably will be conducted both in this country and abroad. There has been some discussion of general conference of representatives of the United States and the prin- whole subject of the war debts of those nations. Those favoring this plan have argued that it was not to be expected that the debts owed the United States could be refunded without reference to the debts owed among the allied powers themselves.
 It has been said that Great Brit ain advanced to it's dominions and allies including France and Italy, approximately $9,500, 0,000,000. while France loaned nearly $3,000,0 1000 to it's allies, principally Russia and Italy.
 As finally enacted, the debt re- funding bill is unsa tisfactory both to the administration and Republi- can leaders of the House, but it was said that objections to it were not pressed because of the delay that would be involved in sending it to conference for ironing out differ ences between the two houses.
 Chief objection centered on the Senate amendment requiring that the refunded obligations mature not later than June IS, 1947, and that the minimum interest rate be IA per cent. Both the president and IS preferring a free hand for the commission as to the life of the bonds and the interest rate.

 Taylor, 50 years old, supposed to be bachelor, lived in cozy four room apartment with his man ser want, Harry Peavey, a negro, a queer chap with high, squeaky voice. Peavey was proud of his cooking. He made the finest rice pudding to be had in Hollywood. And he liked to chochet doilies and scarfs and things.
 Taylor lived alone with his books and his pictures and with Peavey. Howard Fellows, a likeable young chap, drove the big automobile.
 It was quiet place, this Taylor apartment. There never was a par ty there, the neighbors say; nor any noise, nor any disturbance.
 Yesterday it became known for the first time that Taylor had been divorced 10 years ago, that his for mer wife is still living to be somewhere in the East, and that he has d 14-year-old daughter, Ethel Daisy Taylor, in a private school on Long Island.
 Taylor never told anyone that he had been married. On one occasion he did remark that he had had a tragedy" ill his life. He was reti- cant, mysterious, a sphinx when it came to discussing his private af- fairs.
 He loved jewelry, had lots of it. Perhaps the chain diamond ring, valued at $2,500, is the best known to his friends. There was perhaps $20,000 worth of jewels in the apartment when Taylor was killed.
 His friends describe him as witty, the girls say he loved to tease them.
 Mabel Normand tells how some times he would engage in slang chatter" with her and get as much fun out of it as a boy.
 He was going to start shooting "The Ordeal"' in few days, a play that was to star Agnes Ayres. He had been given deep study to it, they declare. and making minute plans.
 He had finished "The Green Temptation" not long ago. This is a story of the underworld, featuring Betty Compton, and he was cutting it. Likewise he was looking for a story that would star Mary Miles Minter.
 Always Seeking the Bizarre.
 Recently say his friends, he had been visiting the queer places in Los Angeles where guests are served with marihuanna and opium and morphine. where the drugs arc wheeled in on tea carts and strange things happen.
 "He was always looking for col or" they will tell you. Always seeking the bizarre, the unbelieY- able, the unusual. All phases of life interested him. All types of men and women fascinated him. He did not indulge in dope himself, but he wanted to see what sort of men and women did indulge, and he wanted to see how it acted, and how they reacted to it.
 Taylor had hundreds of friends. The Moving Picture Directors As sociation, of which he was president, adopted resolutions yesterday mourn ing him, and Jesse l., Lasky, head of the Famous Players-Lasky Cor poration, said he would spend $1,- O00,00 if necessary to bring the slayer to the gallows.

 When she didn't come home ] wasn't particularly worried. thought she ~2s at the studio. She got home thiy morning and said to me: Isn't it too bad? MT. Taylor has been murdered; such q nice man And she then left to go out somewhere on location.'
 Police Study Dead Mans Past.
 There has been no effort on the part of the police as yet, to get in touch with Miss Windsor; but every effort is being made to learn every thing possible about Taylor his life, his friends and his enemies.
 All Hollywood is being asked; all the queer meeting places of the movie actors, actresses and direc- tors, assistant directors, camera men and extras, restaurants, beauty par lors, studios, dens where opium and marimuanna and other strange drugs are common, dens where men and women dress in silk kimonos and sit in circles and drink odd drinks, are being visited.
 Everyone who has come into con tact with the slain director, no mat ter how remotely, is being ques- toned. Things that may shock the world of moving picture fans are destined to come out of the mys- tery, it is said. Popular stars, male and female, may be scOrched and smirched before the police investl- gation is over. And all the sins of the cinema colony will be known Dope fiends will figure in the tale before it is all told and strange effeminate men and peculiarly mas culine women.
 The police are working now on two theories. One is that a beauti- ful woman is in back of the affair one of the hundreds of beautiful women of the studio world. Per haps she was a woman scorned, or the sweetheart of another man, per haps-but there are many motives and the police have not yet decided on any.
 The other is that he was shot by an enemy, made in that mysterious past of the dead man which he so well kept from his friends in Hollywood.
 It is almost certain that man committed the murder, A man was seen before and after the shot was heard, according to MT. and Mrs. Douglas MacLean, who live in the same court of apartments, and other witnesses. And the shot that ended Taylor's life came from .3S cali Der weapon "a gun deemed too big for a woman to carry.
