the Chinese delegation declared in
a statement tonight. China will al

which removes a grave cause of

Human hearts have long hoped

has been left to tho leadership Of
America to achieve it by confer

"The praise spoken by all the
powers gathered at the plenary
session saturday, while eloquent
and sincere, only family echoed the
profound sentiment Of apprecia-

Washington, Feb. 5.-The pre-
diction that the democratic party
will make gains in every state in
the north. east and west and would
retrieve in the coming campaign
the ground lost in Tennessee and
Texas in the last election, was
made today by Representative
Rouse of Kentucky. chairman of

he announced that the congress
sional committee organization
would be completed within a week.
Regarding political conditions
Mr.. Rouse said reports from every
state and many districts indicate
that the people are not satisfied
with the present administration and
are especially disappointed with
congress because there has been
a complete failure in redeeming
the promises of relief that were
made during the last campaign"
He described business conditions as
rotten" asserting that they were
worse now than three months ago
and were continuing to grow worse.
The emergency tariff law, he
declared. has been an absolute
failure" and instead OF helping the
farmer, as it was passed "osten-
sibly'' to do. 1--WE find the farmers
burning corn for fuel and wheat
selling lower than when the bill
was passed"

ston Spencer Churchill, secretary
of the colonies and the lord chan

Later Premier Lloyd George re-
turned from Chequers Court to pre-

ing. No official statement was is
sued to Indicate the nature of the
discussion, but it is assumed that
the premier is anxious to arrive at
some settlement, il possible. before
parliament opens this week. At
this meeting. opponents Of the
Irish treaty are understood to be
prepared to bring a heavy attack
to bear on the government, greatly
fortified by the fact that hopes Of
a peaceful settlement between the
north and the south aroused by the
Craig-Collins pact, were so suddenly
dashed. The position is rendered
more grave by the postponement
Of the Ard Fheis meeting through
the railway strike in ireland, be-
cause until tho whole sim fein
movement has pronounced through
the Ard Fheis its position on the
de Valera split. II is considered UNI
likely that Arthur Griffith and
Collins can be induced to yield ma
terially on the boundary question.

mond Taylor, slain film director
under the name of William Cum
ningham Deane-Tanner, intimate
ly was told here today by Harry
Foster, proprietor of an antique
shop.
Foster formerly was in the
same business in New York,
where Foster said he met Deane-
Tanner once or twice week for
years. He knew his habits and
his family, Foster said.
Tanner then was partner in
an antique shop at Thirty-frst
street and Fifth avenue" said
Foster. His two business asso-
ciates were A. j. Crawford and a
man named Baker.
"That was about IS years ago,
as I remember, and for several
years thereafter, until the antique
shop went bankrupt, / called on
Tanner in the capacity of a sales
man. After the shop went out

GLAND GRAF 7 INC
IS RES0RTED To
ON 4 PR|SONER R

New York, Feb. 5.-Details of
how glands from the body of Ed
ward Persons, electrocuted in Sing
Sing prison last month. were graft
ed upon George Hauser, a defec-
tive, serving sentence for an attack
upon a woman. were made public
tonight by DIR. Terry NJ. Townsend
of New York, attached to the
prison staff as a visiting specialist.
DIR. Townsend said he had moth
ing to do with removing the glands
from Persons body, but he COM
pleted the transplantation in an eff
fort to restore Hauser's condition
to normal. The grating operation
was performed on January 21 and
the physician said tonight that
Hauser had already showed symp-
toms of improvement.
Just when and under what cir
cumstances the glands were re-
moved from Persons body was not
made clear. Several surgeons were
present at the autopsy following
the execution on January 13.
Warden Lewis e. Laves said the re-
moval and preservation of the
glands had not been reported to
him, but made plain that such a
report would not have been neces-
sary as Sing Sing surgeons operat-
ed on their own authority and
without reference to him except in
the case of minors.
"The operation on Hauser was
performed with the consent of the
prisoner" DR., Townsend said.
Persons was said to have been
a particularly fine specimen OF
physical manhood generally. He
was put to death for the murder
of a taxicab driver of jamestown,

the execution Miss Margaret Per-
sons of Cleveland. his sister, sought

(By The Associated rsessD

Los Angeles, Feb. 5.-A story
which police said might throw
light on what seemed to be "the
complicated past of William Des-
mond Taylor was told today by
Len Sledge, a Spanish American
war veteran who lives at the ma
tional soldiers home at Sawtelle,
near here.
s'In the fall of 190S," said Sledge,
II was in Lewiston, Idaho. One
day an acquaintance pointed out
to me a picturesque figure in d
froclz coat, large felt hat and wear
ing long hair.
That's Bill Taylor said my
acquaintance, "He came here re-
Gently from Alaska, where he was
either United States marshal or
deputy. He had some trouble in
Alaska and got out by concealing
himself in a box or a barrel, and
getting aboard ship undiscovered

houseman.

was showing Mr.. Taylor a coat ]
had bought. That looks like one
Sands stole from me- he said. 'Oh,
tif 1 could only get my hands on
that fellow"
Melbourne Mcdowell, actor,
husband Of the late Fannie Dav-
export, looked over an old scrap
book today and then gave to the
press his belief that Taylor, un-
der the name of Cunningham
Deane, played with the Fannie
Davenport company at the Fifth
Avenue theater, New York, in
1894. and later in Boston and
during a tour of the country in
1895 and 1896.
"Deane was a handsome young
Englishman,' said MacDowell.
"And 1 believe he and Taylor
were the same men,"
Taylor's body, dressed In the
uniform of British officer he
wore in his service during the
world war, was viewed today by
many friends and others at an
undertaking establishment where
it will lie until the funeral serv-
ices Tuesday at st. Pauls Epis-
copal pro-cathedral.
Many flowers were sent there,
too, to await transfer, after serv-
ices, to the cemetery vault, where
the body will be held until the
arrival of the directors daughter,
Ethel Daisy Taylor, who has been
in school at Marmoroneck, N. Y.
Pallbearers will be William C. De
Mile, Frank Beal, George Mel
ford. Arthur Hoyt, James Young,
Frank Lloyd, David Hartford and
Charles Eyton, all widely known
in motion pictures.
Members of the British Over
seas club will attend the funeral
in a body and a squad of former
Canadian soldiers will fire a salute
over the casket.
Lester Wing, a Chinese, former
chauffeur for Taylor, said today
the director in an expansive mood
once told him:
.I never really loved but one
woman. She was my stage part
ner. I was engaged to her. But
she died before we could get mar

other woman"

For the fourth consecutive year
Buick has been awarded first
choice of space at the National
Automobile Shows. This honor is
conferred each year by the auto
mobile manufacturers who are
members of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce,
upon the member having done

That Buick has retained this
position year after year reflects
convincingly the high regard in
which Buick is held by the Amer

logical outgrowth of Buick policy
which has been rigidly main
tanned for twenty years that
every car which leaves the Buick
