Trivial Clue in Bitter Remark
Another angle was the story told by
an associate of the dead director, that
former employe had been heard to
exclaim when he heard of the Staying:
bill Taylor got what he deserved. .
The investigation showed. the police
stated, that this man had been en-
pioyed by the Famous Players Lasky
concern, working under Taylor in a
minor capacity.
One day he was drunk when he went
on duty. Taylor ordered him removed
from the place. The next day the
man returned only to find an order
from Taylor that he should not be ad-
mitted.
The police said they had begun a
search for him. but with little hope of
important results. as the affair seemed
too trivial to lead to a murder
Sands Continues Star Hope
The search for Edward +. Sands,
missing butler of Taylor, continued to
be the most important element of the
investigation of Taylor's death. police
said
Checking of the various angles of
the case among members of the motion
picture colony and other friends and
acquaintances of Taylor almost invar-
iabiy resulted in some development in
which Sands name was mentioned. ac-
cording to detectives. Explanations Of
this situation are regarded as vital to
the case in its present stage.
The police said they had several
clues at hand but thus far these had
resulted in disappointments.
The whereabouts of letters which
Miss Mabel Normand, motion picture
actress. said she had written Taylor
and which she said were missing from
his apartments. continued to be mat
ter Of speculation. 1t is believed that
these letters and other papers could
have been removed after Taylor's body
was found last Thursday morning some
time during the period when the house
was unguarded. while 1t was believed
he had died of natural causes
Biackmailsr. New Theory
Revenge. prompted by jealousy. re-
mained apparently the most probable
motive for the alleged crime. investi-
gators of the various departments gen
orally agreed. The possibility that the
slayer was a frustrated blackmailer
also were being considered. There was
declared further to be remote chance
that he was burglar, who fled after
the shooting, without attempting to
remove any valuables. Captain OF De-
tectiyes David p. Adams. who 10 direct
ing the police investigation. said every
thing in the case indicated that the
slayer was man.
Whether the fact that Taylor had
changed his name from that Of William
Cunningham Deane- Tanner BY which
he was known In New York II pears
ago, had q bearing upon the case had not
been determined Sunday, according tc
the police. This circumstance seemed
to have no bearing upon the principal

Fresh Pork Prices
Stood Still While
Live Hogs Jumped

Chicago, Feb. 5.-The two fea-
tures of the meat trade during Jan.
uary, from tho viewpoint Of tho con-
sumlng public, were the fact that
wholesale prices Of fresh pork re-
mained virtually unchanged, despite
an increase Of about 81 per huh
dred In the cost Of live hogs and
the vigorous demand for ham, a
statement by the Institute Of Amer
ican Meat packers says.
Light stocks Of pork and hogs at
market ceHters Indicates packers
have refused to accumulate large
stocks at present prices, the report
says.
An effort is being made to
market as much pork as possible
while 1t is fresh, rather than to
place 1t in curc.
January export trade was de-
scribed as "fairly good" The
market for live cattle showed
lower trend. because cattse receipts
and beef shipments in January were
heavier than for the latter part Of
December. Cattle also were con-
verted into fresh meat as much as
possible. Live lambs showed an
lncrease Of over two cents, the re-
port said.

Relationships Created as
Crown Phase.

Washington. Feb. 5.--(By The As
sociated Press. THE arms conference
will end Monday with a plenary ses-
sion. give out the formal signing of
treaties and listen to a farewell ad-
dress by President Harding.
Making his first appearance at the

plans to voice personally his gratifica-
ton over the results accomplished and
his conviction that the experiment has
justified full faith in the practice of
settling troublesome questions in an
international meeting of minds"
His belief in his conference plan
of conducting international negotiations
has been so strengthened by the devel-
opments here, his friends say, that he
regardAthe intangible relationships re-
sulting from the meeting as of even
greater significance than the formal
agreements that are to be brought to
consumation Monday. He is to make
only short speech. but it is expected
to contain important utterances on the
general subject of international fell
loWship
Despite the little work left to it.,
however, Mondays session may cover
several hours. Four treaties and q
supplement to fifth are to be signed
by the delegates.
II is planned to complete the sign
ing before the president speaks, so
that he will have the conferences Off
cial record of accomplishment before
him. There will be no other speech
making. and when he has concluded, the
conference will adjourn sine die.
Most of the foreign delegates plan
to leave Monday night or Tuesday, and
they spent Sunday making series of
farewell calls, or at work in their
Offices
Several issued statements praising
the achievements of the conference
and the hospitality of the American
people.
Before the end OF the week. the con-
ference treaties probably will be in the
hands of the senate.
