RETIRING, MODEST,
FAMOUS COMPOSER
SHvNS PUBLIC EYE

The greatest living exponent OF the
Russian school of music and foremost
composer and pianist of the day
Sergei Vassilievitch Rachmaninoff-
was a visitor in Richmond all day
Thursday. No one saw him until the
performance and only handful OIL
persons met him afterwards, Retlr-
ing, and Ill at ease, he summed the
public eye.
Arriving early in the day. reserya-
tons were made for him and ms
manager at a local hotel but their
names were not inscribed on the hotel
register as the composer feared he
would be bounded by admirers. The
greatest secrecy was maintained as
10 his whereabouts. He spent the day
sleeping in his private car.
Speaks Little English.
He speaks little English, and in a
voice so low, that it is scarce more
than a whisper. Tall, gaunt. long
armed and slightly stopped so as to
have an almost grotesque appearance,
the famous Russian now in his early
forties in physical appearance bore no
indications of his greatness. His face
was worn, melancholy and deeply
lined and his close-clipped black hair
even betrayed no temperament.
His family, which came to Amer
lea with him, when he fled from Rus
STA resides in the east. One of his
daughters has been a student at Bryn
Mawr. His youngest daughter, who
is Il years old, is named Tatiana, the
same name that the second daughter
of Car Nicholas of Russia bore.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Feb 3-Re-
venge, jealousy, hate and unanswered
love all were considered by the police
today in continuing their search for
the slayer of William Desmond Taylor,
motion picture director, whose body
was found yesterday in his apartment
here
While the meagre clews obtained so
far pointed confidently to the commits
sion of the crime by a man the de-
tectives working on the case said they
believed it possible that Taylor had
been killed by woman.
Their hunt was largely conferred
along three lines, it was said.
The trail of the skulking figure of
man seen around the directors
apartments both before and after the
neighbors heard a shot in the night;
the whereabouts of a former servant,
arrested for the alleged robbery of
the director and reported to have
I threatened revenge; and the sender
of anonymous letters in which en-
closed pawn tickets for articles stolen
from Taylor.
Examine Life History
The officers also had under consid-
Grafton a close scrutiny of the life
history of the director to learn if the
crime might have been committed by
the holder of an ancient grudge, as,
for instance, some soldier he might
have offended by the application of
military discipline while he was an
officer in the British forces during
the world war
Every person known to have been
| in or near the apartments, where Tay-
| lor's body, with a bullet wound in the
neck was found yesterday morning,
| has been closely questioned in the
| search for clews to the murder.
These persons range from Henry
! Peavey. Taylor's negro houseman, TO
Mabel Normand, motion picture ac-
tress, while others prominent in the
| film industry whose names were
! brought into newspapers in connection
with the directors death included
Edna Purviance and Mary Miles Min
ter, also motion picture actresses.
Last to See Taylor
! Peavey gave the police an account
of his finding the body and of his
spreading the alarm. Miss Normand
who was one of the last to see the di
rector alive, told of call she made al
his apartments the night before in con
nection with a book Taylor had loaned
her. Her chauffeur corroborated her
account of the visit which included
the statement that Taylor had accom-
panied her to her automobile when she
left. Mrs. Douglas MacLean. wife of q
film actor, and her maid related hav
ing seen heavy-set man, dressed ir
dark clothes and wearing a cap anG
muffer, skulking about the place
The statement of Mrs. iacLean anC
her maid was strengthene! by employ
es of an oil service station two blocks
from the Taylor apartments and by the
crew OF a street car.
Possible Clues
The service station man said tina
"Wednesday night a. large, roughly
dressed man had asked them where
= Taylor lived and the street car mel
, told of a passenger answering the
same description who asked to be lie
