Miss Minter says she is through

dollar suit against her mother and
about her love affair with Taylor. She
added that upon the advice of her at
torney. she would make no admission
or denial of reports that she intended
to present to the grand jury addi-
tional evidence tending to reopen in
vestigation of the Taylor Staying.
Suit For Accounting
Miss Minter declared that it was
true she had been engaged to Taylor
before his death and said that she
proposed to go through with her pro-
iected suit against her mother for an
accounting of the money she earned
since she attained, her majority.
The affection which soon grew up
between the girl in her teens and
the middle aged motion picture di-
rector was 1.-The beginning of quar-
rels between mother and me-" the

DIR. HARRIS SEEKS
POST HERE AGAIN
Not Aware Health Board Super
intendent Has Been Elected

Although he left his position In
Tampa, Florida, and applied for the
position OF superintendent of health
in the city of New Britain some time
after that post had been filled, DR..
j. r. Harris, former health superin-
tendent here, is not aware that the
post ia filled and still seeks the job.
Some time ago DR.. Henry 7. Bray
rcceiy ed an application from DR.. Har-
ris for the position of superintendent
OF health here. DR.. Richard w. Pull
len was on the job before that as the
choice of the majority of the health
board and no action was taken in con-
nection with the telegram from DR.!
Harris.
The former superintendent however
ID anxious to know the fate of his APP
plication and has telegraphed to a
local businessman asking for infor-
nation. Portions of the telegram are
said to read as follows: "Tee-
graphed Monday. Applied health va.
cancy. No reply. Necessary to know
promptly situation. Please find and
telegraph collect whether my name
considered. Also situation as to per-
nanency, reasonable board, etc. Did
not leave willingly but forced to. Want
to return"
Other portions of the telegram are
said to contain personal message
to friend in the city. DR.. Harris
was more or less of a storm center
when he was superintendent of health
in New Britain. Attaches at the
health department say he was a man
of exceptional ability but his radical
theories kept him in more or less hot
water all the time. His first telegram
to DR.. Bray indicated that he helped
inaugurate new health department
for the city of Tampa.
