On = Doors
Overnight

Early arrivals tor their work today
observed wreaths of black crepe tack
ed to the front door of the Vance
County Court House and the front
door of the Henderson Daily Dis
patch, and attached to each was a
piece Of paper with the wording.
Justice is dead in Vance county"
Who placed the wreaths or what
purpose remained mystery this aft
ernoon. Police officers on night duty
had observed the wreaths in the ear
ly morning, and janitors at both the
court house and the Dispatch office
got perfect glimpse of the decora-
tions at their establishments when
they arrived to sweep and start fires.
Between that time and the time 9TH
ers in the two buildings came in for
work the wreaths and the legends at
tached to them had disappeared al
most as mysteriously as they had
been pinned to the doors. No one was
found who removed them, but they
were gone.
There were some who saw connec-
ton between the WreathS and the
legends they bore and the acquittal
of Mrs. Ruby Wilder Ellington in SUI
perior court Thursday afternoon after
ceing on trial a week charged with
first degree murder for the killing of
her husband, Hartwell Ellington
three months ago.
The court house is known every
where as the temple of justice, but
Daily Dispatch folks wondered what
connection they might have with the
case in question, in the minds of those
who placed the crepe wreaths. The
newspaper took no stand one way or
the other in the trial, and played it
with much less prominence than at
least one other newspaper.

Salary Goes Soaring

For what seemed to him a dis
tressingly long time he was kept ct
$3.50 O week. One day he was called
into the office Of Louis Mayer, stu
do head, and offered new con-
tract. It Is to run seven years, with
periodic increases.
Taylor now receives $2500 week,
plus bonuses. It Is believed the fig
ure will amount to $500 O week
within the term OF the agreement.
That Is about what Clark Gable
now receives, but II Taylor remains
In favor and out Of scandals he al
most certainly will be the top-sala-
ry male Of Hollywood.
Naturally, that makes him one
Of the most eligible men In Holly
wood, and the gossipers have not
hesitated to connect his name ro-
mantically with those Of equally
eligible feminine stars, such as Vir-
ginia Bruce. Janet daynor, Loret-
to Young, and now dreta Carlo,
with whom he has worked In pro-
auctions.
For nearly O year Taylor went
about frequently with Irene Hervey,
@ contract player with M-G-M, and
the usual romantic rumors followed.
But that broke up, and O few
months later Taylor began appear
Ing publicly with Barbara STAN
wyck. About O month ago Miss
Hervey married Allen Jones.

Expenses Are Heavy

Should Taylor and Barbara STAN
wyck marry, II would be the biggest
talent-merger In celluloid history.
She earns the impressive figure OF
$1,000 O week, having obtained II by
shopping around for her assign
ments OF O time when lady stars
were scarce.
Metro 0oldwyn- Mayer no long
er buys Taylor's everyday ward
robe, but 1t now does pay the bills
for fan photographs and postage
en- item Of something like $4,000 O
month.
On the other hand, the actor has
assumed some new expenses.
There's an agent, Nat 0oldstone,
who collects 10 per cent OF his
clients wage. There's O business
manager, Al Manuel, who works on
O salary. There are three secretar-
les who, with his mother. Mrs. Ruth
Brugh, handle the 1000 TO 5000 fan
letters received each week.
It's amusing how many people are
trying to establish kinship with
Taylor under the impression that
his real name Is Taylor, instead Of
Brugh. Most Of 'em are confident
that dear, long-lost Cousin Robert
will be happy TO pay the mortgage,

Hitler PonderS Problem

FERLIN, March 13.-Germany
faced today the decision whether
to sacrifice her much-vaunted ma
tional pride to political eXpediency,
to withdraw Indignantly into a ma
tionaliStic shell, or to leave the way
open for farther international CO.
operation.
The problem was made harder be-
cause, back of the assertions that
occupation of the Rhineland was
necessary to her sovereignty and
honor, we're two cold facts:
l. Adolf Hitler wants to cooper
ate with other nations because he
believes that Germanys honor has
been restored and the time has
come for Germany to join in Eur
ope's councils.
?. BY international cooperation
he hopes to attain the next item on
his program-restorati of coloni-
al territory. which is possible only
by cooperation and membership in
the League of Nations.
Public opinion here was out
ragged by what is called the further
"rig-headed discrimination" of
W~rld War victors at London.
Germany has total of 10000
soldiers IN the Rhineland. the
