CENTRAL
POWER PLANT FOR
LINCOLN COUNTY

After the usual routine business
which included an announcement
by the Highways committee that a
federal highway engineer would be
in Phoebe in the near future to def
nitely determine the routing of the
Lincoln county portion Of the Ely to
Las Vegas highway, the question
of electric. power for the Phoebe min
ing district was thoroughly gone
into with an evident determination
en- the part of the members present
to get the much needed electric pow
ed to further stimulate the rejuvena-
tion which the district is now ex-
periencing
Nothing further has been heard
from the Dixie Power company re-
karding their entrance into this dis
trict with power line. However.
it was generally understood that the
Dixie company had announced they
could not enter this field at this
time because of insufficient current
to supply the power needed at the
mines surrounding Phoebe. To come
in here would necessitate the erec
! tion of another unit to their power
system at an initial cost which the,
considered would prohibit them con
tracing with this district, inasmucl
as the mine operators of the distric
would be required to put up the ma
jor portion of this initial cost

New Pope Knows
Many Languages

London. Feb. 6-Eminent catho-
lies in London received the selection
of Cardinal Ratti as Pope with the
greatest satisfaction. Those ac-
quainted with his reputation say the
fact of his intimacy with the English
language, which he speaks with ease
will be noted with satisfaction here
and in America.
The new Pope is described as n
great linguist, being credited with
knowing 2G languages, although his
admimers suggest the number per-
perhaps is exaggerated. He has
written go books. One member of
the Westminster Cathedral Clergy
told the Daily Mail that Cardinal
Ratti is exceptionally ascetic. and
than when librarian at Milan, he
took only one meal daily after his
morning coffee. He rose at five A.
n. and seldom retired before one
o'clock in the morning and devoted
at least five hours a day TO silent
prayer.

wrecked American Industry and ag-

duction manager at the Lasky stu
dos, where Mr.. Taylor was employed,
was frequently named by the detec-
tives as one of the first to arrive at
the scene after Henry Peavey, colored
houseman, found the body and be-
cause he was quite active in the early
investigation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas MacLean, also
known in the screen world. told of
having seen a man leave the Taylor
house at the hour OF the shooting;
and various others. some approaching
the magnitude Of STARS and others
from the lowly extra ranks. have
touched various angles Of the affair.
In all these investigations repeat
ed recurrence Of the name of Sands
finally led to the declaration of Cap
tain Adams that Sands discovery was
essential to further progress. Sands
has not been seen here since the shoot
ing nor is there any definite proof that
he was seen here Immediately prior 10
it. officers said he night be conceal
ing himself because he feared to face
grand larceny charge preferred
against him by Taylor and still pend
ing. This charge they said was no
longer serious. because without the
testimony of Taylor conviction would
be difficult, but they admitted that
Sands might not realize this condi-
ton.
The primary facts in connection
with Taylor's change of name from
his former name of William Cunning
ham Deane-Tanner. which was first
developed by the voluntary statement
Of his sister-in-law, who lives at Mon
rovia, near here, were also being stud
led. 1t was general believed, however,
that this was due only to Taylor's
desire to be free from his former fam
lily relations and to enc ordinary Gus
tom of screen and stage stars and
workers whereby they assume any
name that happens to appeal to them.
After the inquest held last week.
followed by an open verdict, plans were
completed for the funeral, which is
to be held here tomorrow under the
auspices Of the Motion Picture Direc-
tors Association. Meanwhile Mr.. Toy
lor's body lay in state in an under

Much Wanted Butler
Still Missing in
Taylor Murder Case

Los Angeles, Feb. 6-Efforts of the
police department to solve the mys-
terry of the shooting of William Des-
rond Taylor were concentrated late
today on the search for Edwin F.
Sands, former butler for Taylor.
Edwin L. Sands must be cap
tured in order that his elimination
may be made complete or charge
entered against him. said Captain
David l.. Adams in charge of the po-
lice investigation.
1t was determined by police inves-
tigation today that the bullet that
killed Taylor was fired point blank;
that is, from a distance of very few
inches. This was taken as evidence
that his assailant did not conceal
himself in some other part of the
room and fire from a distance of ten
or more feet; and it was also taken
to indicate that the overturned chair
might have been upset in a brief
struggle between Taylor and his
slayer.
These salient points had emerged
from q mass of contradictory stories
anu SCdlStllSlIlS, SOIlC VI W lllCu were
based on the stories, as yet unproven,
that Taylor was engaged in clandes-
tine affairs with various women.
So far. numerous people prominent
in the motion picture world have had
at least slight connection with the
affair. In this number may be listed
Mabel Normand, who was the last
person to visit Mr.. Taylor before the
shooting occurred. He escorted her
to her automobile and returned to
the room where he met his death,
according to the facts so far estab-
lished. Another widely known movie
star. whose name was brought into
the case was Mary Miles Minter, who
had been a business and social ac-
quaintance of the dead man and who
was one of the first to be advised Of
his death. Then Charles Eyton, pro-

Renewed rioting in several parts
of India, involving the killing of at
least seventeen police officials and
four members of attacking parties in
addition to the wounding of num-
Der of persons and some destruction
to property, occurred over the week

On Saturday police officers at
Chaurl on the Bengal northwestern
railway were stormed by Indian
nationalist volunteers. The mob of
1900 killed the entire staff and a
Waterman and eight armed police
men who were rushed to the scene
to give aid to the staff.
Then the nationalist burned the
offices and stripped the bodies of
those killed and burned them.
On the same day rioting took place
at Bareilly in the middle united
provinces. The mob eventually was
put to rout after two persons had
been killed and five others wounded,
among them the district magistrate
and the superintendent of police.
