haviox illicit re!alion with a girl be
low the af of 18, was concluded early
this corning- in west side court after
Anna. Hess, 11, had been on the wit
ness ttand more than four hours.
Tha Hss Kirl was called as a cor
robarattve witness for Alice Ruck,
15. oa whose behalf the society for
the prevention of cruelty to children
broujrnt thre charge against Hirkard.
io complaint was made on behalf
of the younger child.
Strata Simpson, after listening
" t Uss eecond girl witness. (Alice
Hurk testified last week), said he was
will mar to hear argument and render
m. decision at nce, but It was agreed
between Max Steuer, attorney for
Ricks rd and Ferdinand Fecora, the
assistant district attorney, represent-
In? tie society, to defer their sum
rain? up until next Saturday.
After their argument the ma pis
trttt will either dismiss the case or
ordtr it laid before the grand jury.
Girt Telia Story
Anna Hess, a tiny little- figure In
a. pink slip, with brown bobbed hair,
some missing front teeth and a snub
xoes repeated in her direct exami
nation the same story Alice Kuck had
told; of meeting Kickard at Madison
Square Garden swimming pool last
summer, of being taken by him, to
gether with Alice, to the tower of
the garden and later to an apart
ment house In West Forty-seventh
street, the last visit to this place
being1 on December IS.
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. Under cross
examination, though, she was a tragic
little figure. She did not know what
dar cf the week It was, what month
this is or even what year this is.
. arid Appear Defective.
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."
It' is actually a class for mental
def'.cients and morons.
"Did yon ever have an accident?
the little girl was asked.
"Tea. when I was 8." she said. 7
was struck by a truck in front of
it i v house and was sent to Bellevue.
Mr teeth and bones were hurt and I
got Into bad company then. I started
going around with bad girls." . .
When Attorney Steuer produced
the minutes of another case in which
she liad made accusation against a
man. who. she said, lured her and an
other girl into a cellar a year ago.
she beiran to cry and exclaimed:
"Must that case be brought up
again I had forgotten U about it."
Third Man Drought I".
She made the same remark when
questioned about still another epi
sode in which she charged a middle-
iitred man with wronging.
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.
L.it lie Anna admitted, under cross
examination, that she frequently liexl
to her mother, her -relatives and oth
ers, although when asked if she knew
w hat became of children- who lied she
answered: "Why, you go to hell if
on lie; the priest told mo long ago."

Rickard'a lawyer to the magistrate.
Anna rather corroborated that state

ri'GET SOUND BUREAU. 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.

President of Dail Eireann in In
terview Says Head of Provi
sional Government Is Kight.
DUBLIN". Feb. 4. 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.
