of Taylor.

centralized investigation at the district

gan to-day after the alleged discovery
and turning over to that official last
night of the missing letters written to
the director by Mabel Normand.

taking charge of the trial of Mrs.
Madalynne 0benchain for the murder
of j. Belton Kennedy, William G. Dor
an, his chief deputy, was placed i'm
charge of the inquiry into the Taylor
case
Although verffcation from Mr.
Doran was not obtainable, the Los
Angeles Times published to-day a
statement that the Normsnd letters,
with several kilograms, were in the
hands OF Mr.. Doran.
Miss Normand, who once searched
the Taylor apartments for her letters
and who is said to be i'll, has been
quoted as saying her only desire TO re-
gain possession Of the letters was
founded on fear that some of the
phrases in the letters would he mis-
understood She said she felt a strong
friendship for the director. but there
had been no serious love affair be-
tween them.
A second handkerchief found its way
into the investigation. when about the
same time the detectives said they
found the letters in a boot in a closet
in the Taylor apart ments, Henry Pea

initials M. NJ NJ"

improbable that a complaint charging
murder will he issued against any per-
son in connection with the case until
the affair has been presented to the
nounty grand jury. which has not vet
been impanel for 1922.

No Recognition for Mexico in Sight

THE United States is not going TO
\ extend recognition to Mexico on
mere promises of protection to Ameri-
can rights.
This government must have some
thing more than personal assurances
of Mexican officials that all will be
well with Americans in Mexico In flu
ture.
There has been no change in the
American policy toward Mexico since
Secretary of State Hughes stated the
position of the government many
months ago.
That position requires that Mexico
enter into a treaty with the United
states providing for guarantees of pro
lection 10 American lives and property
rights and providing further for adj
iuStment of claims resulting from past
outrages.
Today the United States stands just
where it stood at the outset Of the

will be no recognition and then the
