was the verdict of a coroner's Jury

body of William Desmond Taylor,
nationally known motion picture
director, known ln New York
prior to 1908 as William Desmond
Dean fanner, art connoisseur. He
was slain Wednesday evening
ln his home here.
The inquest was unexpectedly
terminated by Coroner C. H.
Nance after only five witnesses
were heard, Mabel Normand be
ing the only motion picture ac
tress to testify out of several who
were originally summoned. The
sudden close was for police pur
poses, in order not to interfere
with the investigation.
Charles Eyton, general manager
of the West Coast Studios of the
Famous Players Lasky corpora
tion, the first witness, testified he
had known Taylor for many years
as "William Desmond Taylor"
born in Ireland and a widower.
He said he had been called to Tay
lor's house Thursday morning by
reports that Taylor was dead, and
was Informed there that Taylor
bad succumbed to a hemorrhage.
He said he insisted upon an ex
amination, which revealed that
death was , caused by a bullet
wound. The room gave no signs
of a struggle, and Eyton said it
appeared that Taylor bad been
shot from behind.
Dr. A. F. Wagner, county au
topsy surgeon, testified that an
autopsy showed the bullet entered
the left side of the neck and trav
eled upward.
Mabel Normand, the next wit
ness, testified she visited Taylor
on Wednesday evening, remaining
there 45 minutes and that Harry
Peasey, the house servant, left 15
minutes before she did. She said
Taylor escorted her to the curb, to
her motor car, and standing there
waved to her as she was driven
off. Police investigation thus
far has Tevealed no persons who
say Taylor alive after this mo
ment. Hubbs Endorsed by

oping here today around the death
of, William Desmond Taylor, one
of the country's most successful
motion picture directors, who was
shot to death from behind in bis
residence here Wednesday night.
Baffling complexities, moral en
tanglements, perversities and all
the elements of love, mystery and
tragedy, with some famous stars
of filmdom Involved, pass in re
view before police and private in
vestigators as they scrutinize the
life of Taylor, they say, in search
for the motive for the murder.
Three Stars Involved.
Mabel Normand, Mary Miles
Mlnter and Neva Gerber are three
of the motion picture actresses in

time or another existed between
each of these and the slain direc
tor. Polica say, without mentioning
the name, that a motion picture
actress is the center of their in
vestlgation. A theory of a re

tljKS probable direct cause, is being
analyzed, they say.

Kiddies Pack
House; 500
Journal's
Despite the fact that no chil
dren over 12 years of age were ad
mitted, and the additional fact
that "The Three Musketeers," had
already shown ln Salem for three
days, more than 500 youngsters
clipped coupons from yesterday
afternoon's Capital Journal and
became guests of the newspaper
at a special matinee of the Doug
Fairbanks picture held at the Lib
erty theater at 10 o'clock this
morning.
Filled to Overflowinsr.
The house was jam-packed from
front to rear rows by 10:20
o'clock, and standing room was at
a premium.
"I expected a jam but scarcely
one of this size," commented
Frank Bligh, manager of the Lib
erty, as he reviewed a line of
youngsters which extended from
the box office to the corner of Lib
erty and Court streets. At that
time the theater was nearly tilled
with youngsters.
At 9:30 o'clock the first chil
dren began to gather In front of
the theater and a half hour later
the walk was choked with boys
and girls, under 12 years of age,
who held Capital Journal coupons
clutched in small hands.
The at-jat
tention of pedestrians on State,
Court and Liberty street was call
ed to the large body of youngsters
assembled for the matinee.
"Douir" Koundly Cheered.
Bedlam reigned ln the theater
for the few minutes before the
lights were extinguished and the
long film got underway and even
Doug Fairbanks, accustomed as
he is to many tributes, would
have felt honored could he have
heard the shouts which greeted
his appearance on the screen.
Laudatory comments on the
picture were heard from hundreds
of the boys and girls as they made
their way out of the theater. The
youngsters' opinion seemed to co
incide perfectly with those of
more sophisticated movie critics
who have declared "The Three
Musketeers" to be one of the best
pictures ever filmed.

Machinery For
New Industry
At Pen Bought
As the first step ln the Installs
tion of new Industries at the state
prison, under provision made by
the legislature of 1921, machinery
and equipment have been pur
chased for a plant to manufacture
mop handles, wooden utensils,
chairs, cheap tables and similar
articles, according to announce
ment by Warden L. E. Compton
today. The original investment,
according to Compton, amounts to
approximately (7000 and will
provide employment for from 30
to 4 0 convicts. Additional funds
from tho (30,000 appropriation
made by the legislature will be In
vested in other Industries from
time to time as the situation de
velops, Compton explains.
The appropriation was made
upon the recommendation of Gov
ernor Olcott, who urged tbe need
the prison of some Industry
wnicn wouia provide employment
for tbe convicts and at the same
time enable them to earn money
for the sutfport of their depend
ents while serving their prison
sentences.
Compton explains that the In
vestment ln the contemplated
wood working plant was made
only after a careful study of In
dustries ln similar institutions
throughout the United States. Un
der the present plan tho product
of the prison plant will be sold as
far as possible to state institu
tions and department, the cost of
the material and manufacture as
well as the maintenance of the
convicts employed in tbe plant be
ing deducted from the sale price,
the balance to go to the depend
ents of those employed In the
plant.
May Place State .
Employes Under
Compensation Act
As the result of a recommenda
tion made by Dr. R. E. Lee Steln
er, superintendent of the state
hospital for the insane, at a meet
ing of tbe board of control, Friday
afternoon, the employes of the
eleven state Institutions may be
brought under tho protection of
the compensation act.
Stelner's recommendation came
as tbe result of the death of an
attendant at tbe hospital recently
following an attack by a patient.
Tbe patient left a widow and five
children and ln spite of tbe fact
that he lost his life while in the
employ of the state there la no
provision for the compensation of
his dependents unless the leglsla-
ture should pass an act covering
this particular case.
among the activities
of the new company will be the
establishment of cold storage fa
cilities to handle the perishable
orchard, farm and dairy products
of. the territory tributary to Sa
lem, including practically all of
the central Willamette valley.
Storage will be provided tor 1000
tons of ice in tbe first unit of the
plant, which is to be built ln such
a manner as to make possible the
easy construction of additions aa
the demands upon the plant war
rant. Build on Unit Plan.
The first unit will cover a
ground space 80 to 127 feet, or
half of the plot which the com
pany has secured, and will extend
through the block from Trade to
Mill street immediately behind
the Salem Fruit Union warehouse.
Here will be provided individual
refrigerating rooms for the vari
ous canneries and produce packing
plants of the city, insuring the
consumption of the entire crop of
perishable fruits and berries with
out loss. Pre-cooling rooms will be
available to all shippers of fresh
products, and under arrangements
already made with both the Ore
gon Electric and Southern Paci
fic railways and the express com
panies handling fruit shipments,
refrigerator cars will be iced here.
To Supply Bier Field.
Completely equfppe j with all ot
the most modern jce making and
refrigerating machinery, the com
pany will not only produce Ice for
its own use, but will eater to the
Ice trade throughout this part ot
the state. Truck deliveries to Ba
lem homes and business houses
will be established and arrange
ments made to supply the retail
trade In Independence, Dallas,
Aurora, Hubbard, Woodburn, ner
vals, Silverton, Mt. Angel, Turner,
Stayton, Sublimity, Jefferson and
other towns in the central valley,
Absolutely pure ice is to be tho
trade slogan.
Thehome of the new plant will
be of hollow' tile construction and
perfect refrigeration of the cool
ing rooms will be Insured by thai
Installation of the latest type of
cork insulation. The facilities
will be complete for handling
butter, eggs, meat, vegetables, bef
rles, fruits and other produce.
Means Much to Industry.
Operation of the plant Is to be
under the direct supervision of
Mr. Talbot, who has been in
charge of the refrigerating plant
of the Phcz company.
Lack of proper refrigerating
facilities have operated in tbe past
to curtail to some extent the oper-
atlons of the local canneries and
packing plants, and have retarded
the growth of the fruit and berry
industries by limiting the local
demand for these products. While
losses, both to the growers and
the canners from spoilage have
never been large, the absence of
cold storage facilities has always
acted as a deferent Influence to
any great expansion ln tbe fruit
and berry acreage.
Cannery men and prominent
growers here agreed today that
the establishment of a cold stor
age plant here would enable the
canners and rackers to extend
their operations extensively and
would, ln a large way, remove one
of tbe principal obstacles in the
way of enlarged production in the
central Taller.
