Precautions were taken to keep the woman witness identity secret, as she informed Chief Deputy District Attor- ney w. c. Doran she would not ap- be shielded from publicity and that her name would not appear in con nection with the investigation.
 The woman told Doran that she knew both Taylor and the other wo- man, with whom, he said he quar- relied several days before he was slain The quarrel, according to the woman. occurred at Taylor's home and worried the director considerably.
 It was said that if the informant's s story warranted the move, the other woman would be located immediately and questioned by District Attorney Woolwine.
 While the woman's appearance at District Attorneys office was awaited, a negro drug addict whom, they said, they will arrest on sight in connec- ton with the investigation Ctrcum- stances throwing suspicion the negro, officers said, must be explained by him before he can be eliminated as the possible slayer.
 The detectives declare that the ne- gro for whom they were searching was not Henry Peavey Taylor's valet cook, who reports to the office daily.

Ne1O Hauea Proposes To Increase Rate or
 Securities From 4 to 7

Washington, Feb. 2o-The New York New Haven & Hartford R. R applied today to the Interstate Com 1 merce Commission for permission to extend for three years the s7,5S2, ,696 bond issue known as its European loan" which falls due April l, 1922. The railroad also proposes to tn- crease the interest rate on the se- curitieS from four to seven per cent. in order to induce the owners to ex- tend the credit and to pay off ten per cent. of the entire principal at the time of extension.
 Bp a third provision the railroad proposes to make the extension more attractive to the European bond holders by agreeing to pay the bonds off in 1925. when they would again become due under the extension at the rate of $96.50 per i've hundred franc bonds. This would constitute a guarantee to the holders Of the franc bonds that they would be paid on the basis of par for their own money.
 French francs are at present worth slightly less than nine cents each but under the terms of the New Haven offer the bonds would be paid off in 1925 on the basis of 19.S cents per franc. In urging the commits sion to accept this provision the rail- roads application said that it "con- stituted the only feasible means of meeting the maturity
 New Haven, Feb. 2o-An official statement from the offices of the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. today, bearing upon applica- ton of the company to the Interstate Commerce Commission for an exten- sion of its European loan" for three years, said:

 Market quotations for Liberty bonds have steadily advanced until they are now approaching par Good railroad and industrial bonds have also appreciated. and there have been noticeable advances in standard stocks.
