thai, when the, I'nderwoed bill was being

whether the sales tax plan, commended
by President Harding, should be pro

Feasibility of reducing or eliminating
entirely the cash payment previsions

actress ns they left at 7:40 o'clock, a
few minutes before the murder.
The chauffeur said be spoke te Henry
Peavey, Tayler's Negro valet coek.whlle
he was waiting for Miss Nermsnd, who
had purchased a beg of peanuts and a
copy of the Police Gazette befere going
te the house. Peanut shells, which
Davis said he swept from the automobile
While Miss Nerma nd was talking te
Taj-ler In' the house, were found In the
parkway,
Davis sold that Tayler appeared in
geed humor nnd without sign of any
fenr or Werry. ,,...,, ...
Davis was asked if he had noticed a
book in Miss Nermand'N band, when
she returned te the machine. Miss Nor Ner
mand told Woelwino that she went te
Tayler's home te get n book which he
had premised her.
"She may have hnd a book, but I did
net see It," Davis said."
According te ether information In the
hands of the authorities, an ncter until
recently connected with a film company
here may have been Jenleu.i of Tayler.
This actor went Enst about tive inentns
hge and was gene ler two menwi. cur
ing thnt tlme his wife was seen several
timca with Tayler. The ncter has left
r. n,ilrv since the killing.
The Slierltt'H emec is trying 10 emu
UP certain contradictory testimony as te
whether there was a mysterious man or
woman or both in the vicinity of the
Tayler home en the night of the mur-
Early In the investigation, Miss Npr
mand sold that J'cnycy, Tey or ' valet,
had left before she did. William Davis,
Miss Nerman's chauffeur, corroborated
her story that Tayler had come te the
curb with her when she left the bungn-
low
The resultant theory thnt Tayler was
killed when he returned te the heua
was strengthened by the story of Mrs.
Douglas McLcnn, a neighbor, who tes
tified that she saw n man en Tayler's
perch. Later, however, Geerge Arte, a
mechanic, said that he saw Davis nivl
Peavey In conversation with another
white man. but this was denied by both.
Finally it wns reported te Mr. Wool Weel
wine thnt a bootlegger, preparing te
deliver liquor te Tayler, heard a shot
and saw a woman walk out of the
bungalow and hurry away.
The figures of the unknown man nnd
woman have moved through all discus
sion of the mstcry. and It is generally
felt by officials that their succcs.4 de
pends upon successfully cheeking up
the stories about the elusive pair.
Though some of the investlgnteis
have eliminated Edward F. Sands, for
mer butler for Tayler, from nny con- I

thermometer hovered nreund 22 degrees
I below zero. New Yerk City, with a
temperature of lint zero. Weather B11
icau effii lals said, probably was under-

I The cold wine was in effect today

The official forecaster predicted "fair

America in making i put Hie world ou
a basis of permanent peace '
Mr. Hoever's speech made h great
Impression en his audience. Especially
weie they impressed with the suggestion
that moral values should be uppermost.
Slncn that time there has been a
growing feeling that Mr. Hoever would
himself be the ideal candidate for the
director generalship.
Recently the sentiment for Mr.
has crystallized te nu extent
spring when he asked the Senute te
put bonus legislation ever for that ses
sion, but indicated that he favored n
bonus later efi.
The actual writing into the law of a
premise te pay 11 cash bonus when the
economies were adequate would com
mit the Government te the policy of
ensh payments. Later te direct the
Secretary of the Treasury te borrow
money te make the premised payments
would net be difficult.
Only nu aroused public opinion will
prevent the smuggling of the wish bonus
policy hy degrees Inte thn luw through
the. compromise that will be worked
out of the present tangled situation. A
