In mysterious manner two men who nte the secret bread of pleasure and drank sweet stolen waters have died by the fury of assassins still I unknown. I The career of William Desmond 'Taylor, slain movie director.

Men who shun daylight nre apt to make themselves tempting targets lor marksmen In the dark, j Taylor's leave-taking of life was just as mysterious as his inexplica ble departure in 1908 from h's wife 'and child and just as unaccountable : as his later chance of name, for the dead man was known originally ns : William Cunningham Doane-Tanner. Who Was Slayer? Who could have arranged Taylor's clandeatino rendezvous with tle.it n: SusMrlon goes over the list of possil'illllej. There Is Tor instance, Edward F.

Like his prototype Dwell, Taylor was accorded by the opposite sx. but Intei'esting. traveled, well-read, a brilliant talker and a discreet confi dant, Taylor held the friendahlp of many women. Whether or not his relations with them were sentiment al cannot be determined at this lime. But why did he disappear In 11108 from a beautiful wile and daughter, from a host of friends and a gay so cial circle? s Hover by Nature. Rover by nature, William Deane ranner came to New York from Dublin in thu late nineties. Movies were unheard of then, anil t ho youtic irishman did not dream of the magic lantern which would, create a life of qilendor for him and for thousands ,if others. He was Interested In antinucs nnd objects of art. lie entered into that 'Hlsimss near Thirtiith street ate! '.'itth avenue at a period when this -neighborhood held many small props with fascinating wares when the Holland House was flourishing and fine old homes and old-fashioned aparti-v-nt houses had not been su perseded by business. "I'lorodi.ia'' was then in her first finrr. Among tl-- pretty girls of that first cast was El he May liarrl.-on. Thev met nnd tnairled in Hiol. Clubs, racc i tack, theaters and gay prrtlcs 'drew this resth'-s individual, who because of his additions In a life of ple-is'ire did not cause serious worry to his family when he disap peared n l:ius i"r what his friends 'bought woubl.be a short time. Waved t.ood-hve to Wife. At the Valid, i hilt cup race that year Taylor wav. d rood-bye to his wife, laier cent to Iheir a p irt nient in tho Colonial hotel fer his clothes, hut remained miie.ird from until the movies began to flash fares around the world. In Hils wav his ftiemll knew that Tav'-u- was Tanner and not dead by a'.y means. His wife iiieiinlme had divorced him and married Edward Robins, restauafvur, now proprietor of l)el monico's. Tanner, become Taylor, tired of tho old life, found new out let for his whims and roving dispo sition in the adventures that he di rected for the films. Taylor's associates were men and women whom the screen brought be fore ull ot us. We know their niun nerisina, their charms and their feat ures lis well as t hoH of our own relativun. Mabel Normand was his "pal." Claire Windsor was a friend. e a Cerlier was once engaged to tho nijii. bin they decided in a per-I-ctly friendly way not to marry, lie admired pivtly .Mary Miles Mlu ter. famous long a,go as "The Littlest Rebel." Lived Like Elwell. Tavlor lived like Elwell did. alone, and his servants went away at night. V.'MIe this mode of lifo encourages intrigue not possible In a more open existence, it makes tin occupant or a lonely hoile liable to attack. Blackmailer or murderer could eas ily gain access to his Intended vic tim. And, like the slain whist export, Taylor received younc women callers freelv at bis home, lie hail received a visit fro n mi" of them on tho very n t ii f ef his death. Women's gar ments w -re found In his home ns In ;;iv.eH's. The kllilUT of Joseph Elwell Is still a mystery. Whether his slayer was a htttflar or an angry or Jetilous nt n or ,c,ii;'a has to wr been dls c .v. red. Both men had grimly attractive fines.

Until more n-xlensive research work Is un dertaken and the American far r Is given the benefit of first-hand and 1 111 111 ed 1 ul 1. information of the rapidly changing European market condi tions a.'-rlciiliuial Ills In the United Slates cannot hope lo be entirely cured. Delegates from all over the ci try, who attended the conference on farm and allied industries, called at the suggestion of President Harding, were practically In unanimous agreement 011 this phase of the ninny vailed discussions of the 1 ds of the farmer. "Retearcb work along all agricultural lines Is a prime necessity of the farming industry," declared Representative Sidney Anderson, of Mln nesoia, chairman of the congressional committee on agricultural inquiry, who presided as permanent chairman at tho farm conference. "To get the best results I bellevo it will be necessary to centralise all 'r-searrh work, and I don't know of any b tter agency than the national agricultural department, Al the Capitol there are some who say this cen tralization Is impracilealde. Of course there must be experiment stations for rewtirrh work In various pails of Ihe country, but I think they should be under control of the agricultural department. "The results of r si-arch work do not appear, in many Instances, for several Vitus and even longer bemre they can be commercially applied. But eventually some good Is derived by the fanner through research efforts " Much or Hi" ioiv"lon now experienced In the tanning industry is attributable to link id comprehensive knowledge of the needs of tor-Inn markets, fanners arreo. Over-production and no market to handle excess ciops ace held to be chaig-abl" to this falluru to gauge European food needs. ' 'Give us the market In this country, and we wilt be far on Ihe way to solving our own ineibles," Is the gist of Ihe plaints of many of the "dirt" larmern of the country. J M. Anderson, of St. Paul. Minn., president of the Equity Co-operative Exchange, p. t.s -il.le for the assertion that the main solution of the farmer' perplexities lies In proper tluauclng of foreign countiles, so that Hoy may buy American rami products and thereby open up a luaiket to relieve overproduction I tges I:sirt Credit Plan. "I believe " he -aid.

The credit so established should lie used In the puichase of our nvi icultural products and used iri such a wav that 'lo ndi.intar.s lo he derived trotn providing It would olrectlv reach our tiroducers not be consumed In intermediate agencies. "Wu spii.t thii'v billion dollars to help save democracy let us now fp-nd one or two h!iloris to lo lp save agriculture and perhaps cl lliiallon Ht.elf." The result of this suggestion may be that the government will be. poli-ilom-d by the lal hots of Hie country to embark on the undertaking of liiiani'lne foi'tgn countiles ro that American products may be bought.
