One of the factors which influenced this decision came from developments during the lnt week In Les Angeles, with the murder of William D. Tayler coming close en the heels of the Ar buckle case. Anether important ele ment was the conviction that mere ue should be made of the ,$2,000,000 plant already fully equipped for production en Leng Island. Film executives have come te the conclusion that production in the East Is hardly inferior te that in the West, particularly since mod ern studio equipment has impievcd the lighting.

VOUCHES FOR SOLDIER WHO TESTIFIED TO EXECUTION Yarborough's Commanding Officer Hat Confidence In His Veracity Washington, Feb. 8. (By A. P.) Further efforts were made today by the Senate committee investigating charges that American soldiers were hanged without trial in France, te clear up the alleged sheeting of a soldier by a firing squad near Chateau -Thierry in July, 1018.

Okla.. his commanding officer, as a soldier above the average whose general reputa tion was excellent, nnd that he would net hesitate te believe what he said under oath. Captain Edwards nnd ether officers attached te the Yarborough command. testified, however, that they never heard of the sheeting, cither from the Alabama teacher or ethers, and that they did net believe such an execution could have taken place without word of it reaching their ears. The sheeting of Wlllinm Fnuntlerey, a Negro acting corporal, by a marine guard which was taking him te prison at St. Naziiire for being drunk, was testified te by W. L. Davis, a Negro et navannnn, ur, "Fauntlcrey was se drunk he could net stand en his feet," said Davis. "The guards took him by the arms and just after they started we heard a shot, the guards saying the Negro attempted te attack them. But he was tee drunk for that, and the next day they gave the dead man a military funeral."
