by LAWRENCE nEAMnn.

According to the gossip of the lob

Cotton wrote the story on which Drift

Whatever may be the facts OF it's au-

piece with Robert Warwick and Miss
Alice Brady in the leading roles of its
six incidents, as they were called on

SAYS SAVINGS
OF DAWES ONLY
PAPER" KIND
South Carolina Representative
Says if Savings Were Made
Treasury Would Show 1t.
tsy The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Declarati0n
that tho economies which President
Harding and Director Dawes of the bud
get announced yesterday at the second
business meeting of the government were
largely of a paper variety was made
today by Representative Byrnes of South
Carolina, a democratic member of the
House appropriation committee. who in
q formal statement, voiced the fear"
that Mr.. Harding had been absorbed in
other matters that he was not conversant
with the existing situation" in govern
ment finances.
According TO the press" Mr. Byrnes'
statement said, "a direct saving of S32,-
100000 and an indirect saving of more
than s104, 100000 had been accomplished
in less than six months. The fact is
that against this alleged saving, the

tions as deficiencies amounting to $780,

gress viii commense consideration of an

deficiencies to date $SS6,537, 95S
81 rejoice that the President reiterated
his opposition to deficiencies, because I
hesitate to think what amount would be
requested If he were not opposed to de-
ficiencies."
Representative ByTnes said that il the
amounts mentioned had been saved the
treasury should show 1t. He declared
that no such showing. however, had been
made and added:
~ fear the reason why it Is not done
is that the alleged savings in most in
stances consist only in the postponement
OF actual expenditures until the next

Mr.. Byrnes declared that the supple
mental estimates for the next fiscal year
amounting TO S0.OS3, go added to the
total amount requested for the fiscal year
1923 would make that total s10s, 2ss,365

insisted upon an examination, which
revealed that death was caused by a
bullet wound. The room gave no signs
of struggle, and Eyton said it ap-
peared that Taylor had been shot from
behind.
DR.. A. #. Wagner, county autopsy
surgeon, then testified that an autopsy
showed the bullet entered the left side

Mabel Normand, the next witness,
testified she visited Taylor Wednes-
day evening, remaining there as min
utes, and that Peasey, the house serv-
ant, left within Is minutes before she
did. She said Taylor escorted her to
the curb, to her motor car and, stand
ing there, waved to her as she was
driven off. Police investigation thus
far has revealed no persons who saw
Taylor alive after this moment.

Tor lying there and a chair overturned.

man standing outside the door of Tay-

she said, and she looked at him. He
then turned and walked away and

MAYPOTHER IS
HONOR GUEST
AT LUNCHEON
President of Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Entertained by
Chamber of Commerce.

Entertaining at luncheon for Presi-
dent w. L. Mapother of the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad company, mem
bers OF the Chamber of Commerce
gathered yesterday at 1870 o'clock at
the San Carlos hotel, where covers
were laid for a, and an informal talk
by the L. & n. official brought TO a
close the friendly meeting with bust
ness men of the city, which occupied
the greater part Of the day.
Mr.. Mapother was introduced by
Paul P. Stewart, president of the
Chamber Of Commerce, who expressed
Pensacola for the friendly spirit shown
by Mr.. Mapother in coming to the
city to meet in conference here, calling
attention to the fact that the inter
ests of the L. &, n. and those of PEN
sacoIa are indissolubly linked, and that
the people of this city and section ap-
preciate the attitude Of Mr.. AIapother
in the cooperation which he offers this
section in its present problems, and
do not ask for any special favors or
undue concessions which are not
granted other sections traversed by
the L. & n. railroad.
In opening his talk, Mr.. Mapother
said that he was no stranger to Pen
sacola as he had frequently visited
here and had always had for the city
the deepest friendliness. He said that
he was most grateful for the cordiality
and courtesy which had been shown
him on this visit to Pensacola and he
wished to assure those present OF his
earnest desire to cooperate In every
possible way in whatever was for the
benefit of the community and the Sec
ton.
Mr.. Mapother said that he would
like to take up the transportation
problems and to so into these at
length, but as this would involve too
much time, he would talk briefly on
the subject OF freight rates.
Everywhere, he said, people were
talking about rates. He pointed out
that the same economic Laws which
govern other business enterprises do
not apply to the railroad business, as
in connection with the rail-
roads has been carried so far as TO
have robbed the railroads OF the power
TO conduct their business along the
same lines that private business and
many other public enterprises are
conducted.
He reminded those present that ev-
cry detail Of operation OF the railroads
was handled by law and that If the
people wanted lower freight rates and
better railroad conditions. It was the
people themselves who make these
laws possible by placing men IN Office
who bring about such legislation
Among those who were present at
the luncheon rendered Mr.. Mapother
