In almost identically the same words that Alice used. Anna went orer these Incidents, describing the tower offices and the uptown apart ment rooms, and declaring that Kick ard gave her, as well as Alice, sums of money on each occasion, ranging upward from 15 to J9.

Mr Steuer drew from her that she was Jr. "the ungraded class" at pub lic school No. 14. and when he asked her why It was so called, she replied: "Because they say they are crazy" in that class."

Mr. Steuer pointed out to Magis trate Simpson that in the "cellar cae" Magistrate Frothingham had thrown ft out of court because of 4he unreliability of this mentally defi cient child's testimony.

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 4. Did William Desmond Taylor, the moving picture director, murdered fn Los Angeles, ever have a sister who played the banjo and played It well? Was there ever a woman passing as his sister who played the banjo well enough to com mand good compensation, in vaude ville? By the news from Los Angeles, Taylor was rated as a Klondike pio neer. The suggestion is- enough to make every true Klondike pioneer take notice and begin to rack his memory. The Klondike discovery dates from 1896 and anybody who landed in Dawson within the first five or six years thereafter can qual ify as a tioneer. From then on there is no segregation. A Dean Taylor. Gene layior. jimmy Taylor, was in Dawson City in 19WU and 1901. The variation of the given name accords with the- various recol- Uections of men who were there at the time and who remember Dean Taylor very distinctly. He went to Dawson with a sister who played the banjo in the super-excellent wav that the banjo used to be played, and for a time he worked with her in the vaudeville houses of which Dawson had several. . Job as Producer Worn. But Taylor had ability and am bition. It was not long before he had made his talents worth while to Charley Meadows, proprietor of the Standard theater, playing a stock company. Taylor took the job of producer and stage director, super seding a man named Hillyer, himself a first rate stock performer of those days and a better scenic artist. None of the old sourdoughs now resident of Seattle are impressed by so imposing a name as William Des mond Taylor. V Associated Press dis patches, intimating that he had at some time used the name of Dean in stead of Desmond, seems refreshing to the memory. They all remember a Taylor. It would be difficult to find one who lived In Dawson in 1900 or 1901 who doesn't remember the Tay lor who produced what they consid ered very high class plays at "AH. zona Charley's" popular houpe. Soma say he was called Gene, others re member him as Jimmy. " Majority Doat Recall Name. The majority don't recall that "they ever heard his first name, but they all are willing to swear by him as the best stage director that ever struck the Klondike, and this includes mem bers of the orchestra, of the old Standard theater, persons whose ver dict as to the merits of a stage direc tor Is conclusive he Is either good or rotten. And they all remember the banjo playing sister who made a great and lasting hit in Dawson vaudeville. It is possible and probably certain that any inquiry about Dawson and the people of Dawson in that early period will start the opening chapter of many a spicy yarn. There is noth ing of the kind in the talk of Taylor. Considering the conditions of the time and place and his particular en vironment he was a model young man. for by all accounts he was then not more than 30 or thereabouts. He and the banjo -playing sister lived in a cabin ail to themselves, not unsociably for there are men in Seattle who took dinner with them." but somew-hat apart from their fellows of the show business. Nothing; Srandnlosa Said. Out of all the talk of the Seattl sourtloughg not a breath of scandal comes concerning Taylor or the sis who kept house for him. They werj nice peop'e. differing from the rowdy run connected with and patronizing the theaters and dance halls of the camp. "Taylor was one of the most gen tlemanly fellows I ever met." said one Seattle ' man who was a member of the orchestra of- the Standard the ater in Dawson, today, "and he was one of the most capable producers 1 have ever come across. The .plays were those of that period, mostly melodrama, and Taylor had a good crowd of actors with him. Hillyer. whose place he took, was leading man in many of the productions, and scenic artist for all of them. Dick Thome was another member of the company. Taylor was very popular with his people and he attended strictly to business. When the night's work was done he went home to his cabin, where his sister kept house for him. He was not a boozer or a gambler or a rounder in any sense of the word. It doesn't seem possible that he should ever have made an enemy in the north. Taylor Kitwi to Iaata-e. All Seattle men who were in Daw son at that time agree that if there 14 anybody on earth who should be able to establish or disprove the iden tity of William Desmond Taylor with Stage Director Taylor -of the old Standard theater, it would be Alex ander Pantages, now owner of the Pantages vaudeville circuit and of more than a score of theaters in as many diftesent cities of the states. Pantages was in Dawson, at the time Taylor and his sister were there, and was employed at a Dawson vaude ville house where the sister put on her banjo act. If Taylor, as news dispatches said, is' a Klondike -pio neer, Pantages should know of it. And Pantages' home is in Los Ange les. Xo one knows of Taylor, the mur dered director, dr. of Taylor, the Daw son producer, ever having been ,in Se attle as a member of a local stock company or otherwise. Villiam Des mond, who has since gained celebrity as a wild west moving picture actor, played ' in slock here a number of years ago and within a year- or soi one way or the other, of the same time ' Charley Taylor was manager of a local stock company in which the since famous Laurette Taylor, then his wife, was leading' woman. Charley Taylor went to Alaskaafter Laurette had left him for the larger opportunities for which she fully qualified. The combination of these names into that of the murdered man. William Desmond Taylor, and the statement that he was a Yukon 'pioneer, caused some confusion: But the minds of local sourdoughs are olear and united in distinguishing Charley Taylor from the Taylor of the Dawson in the early days. Char ley Taylor went north only Jibout IS years ago and is a" much older man. By age and by description of his general character, the Klondike pio neers easily identify the dead direc tor with the .producer of plays in' the old days of the north. They may be right or wrong.

Southern Ireland stands for self-determination of those sections involved in the dispute over Ulster's boundary. This was made clear by Arthur Griffith, president of the Dail Eireann in an interview in which he fully upheld the attitude of Michael Collins, head of the provis ional government in his recent con ference with Premier Craig of Ulster. "Against that part of Ulster which votes itself out of the 'free state we shall not use force, and against that part which votes itself thereinto we shall not permit, unchallenged, force to be used," Mr. Griffith declared. "Mr. Collins represents the unani mous attitude of the provisional and Dail ministry. We want not only peace, but brotherhood with our at present dissident countrymen. We seek for our nationalist people in the portheast nothing but the equality of Irish citizenship and we offer frank ly and sincerely to our unionist fel low countrymen in the "northeast the same equality. " Peace Main Object. "We are at the beginning of the birth of a nation and desire to sink the old distinctions between unionist and nationalist in the common name, Irfshman." The reassembling of the Dail Eire ann, which had been set for Feb ruary 14. has been " postponed untjl February 28, -it was announced to day. The change of date is in con sequence of the postponement of the Arde-Fheis, or annual convention of the Gaelic League of Ireland, from February 7. owing to the threatened railway strike. LONDON. Feb. 4. (By the'Associ ated Press.) Michael Collins sugges tion to Premier Craig of Ulster for a conference of the representatives of the whole of Ireland to adopt a com mon policy and frame a constitution is the main outcome thus far of the new deadlock in the Irish situation. but it is too soon to indicate whether any important development is likely to come from (it. Premier In Attacked. The editorial writers insist that the boundary question is one for the two Irish governments to settle and that the English government must keep out of the vortex of Irish politics. The Daily Chronicle says it is pre mature to talk of a crisis or deadlock until the method of boundary settle ment prescribed in the treaty is tried, and believes that disaster -can be avoided by adopting that method. The Morning Post, representing Ulster's views, attacked Premier Lloyd George and Mr. Collins for their "deception, and said Ulster has no. chance for justice if the boundary revision is submitted to a commission in which there are two votes against her one.
