Taylor's Death Super-Drama In Its Sensations (Continued from Page One.) the motion picture world, and others, actresses, directors and em ployes, are scheduled to appear here today In the Inquest. Chanced His Name. The chequered and adventurous career of the slain director, actor, engineer, Klondike pioneer, sol dier and student of psychology, known for years to his moBt inti mate friends here as a bachelor living alone in a luxuriously ap pointed dwelling place, and often visited by actresses, today reveals that be has been living under a changed name, has a daughter 13 years of age, was divorced and possibly bad been married and di vorced a second time. He was formerly known as Wil liam Deane Tanner, according to the deserted wife of his brother, Mrs. Ada Deane Tanner of Mon rovia, near here, who announced last night that the slain man had supported her by sending checks of $50 monthly tor the last six years. Search for Butler. Police are continuing their arch for Edward F. Sumls, re ported also to be known as "Ed ward Fits Strathmore," the miss ing butler of Taylor, who dlaap peared several months ago, fol lowing which Taylor filed with tbe police charges of grand lur ceny against him. While most in tlmat friends in the film world of Taylor did not know of his pre vlous marriage, this butler did, (or he used the name of William Deane Tanner In pawning, at Fres no, articles stolen from Taylor. A life in fear of death, at least during the last few days of his ex istence, adds to the dramatic mys tery of the dual existence of Tay lcr. He mentioned to at least one person, police say, that he had a premonition of death. Claire Windsor, motion picture actress, revealed a threat by Tay lor against Sands. She told of ac companying Taylor to a hotel par ty within a week before his death She aald Taylor was talking of the robbery of certain Jewela, which the police and Taylor attributed to Sands according to the police. Mlsa Windsor said that Taylor in this connection declared: Threatened to Kill. "If I ever lay my bands on Bands, I will kill him." Miss Windsor aald that Taylor earned very determined, "because!

Baker, pres ident of the Phillies, declared to day. Baseball law provides a $1000 fine for conviction of tam pering. He did not name the Individuals against whom he would prefer charges. Sands robbed him of every cent he had at the time." "Mr. Taylor made no secret of his plan to kill his valet," sue said. Miss Windsor said that she had known Taylor a long time, but never very well. That a woman was involved in the murder was the theory ad vanced by Sheriff William I. Trae ger of Los Angeles county. "From what I ,have been able to learn," the Bherlff said, "It ap pears to me that one man and one woman are responsible for the vic tim's death. The woman supplied the Incentive and the man did the slaying." Was Secretly Married. Chicago, Feb. 4. Chupters In the life of William Desmond Tay lor, motion picture director who was slain In Los Angeles Wednes day night, were revealed here to day by his friends. It was said that Taylor was well known pre vious to 1909 as "William Deane Tanner," an art connolseur. He was then the manager of a promi nent firm of art and antique fur niture dealers and had a wide cir cle of friends. In 1901, his friends said, he secretly married Miss Ethel May Harrison, a member of the orig inal Florodora company, and they had a child, Ethel, now 14 years old. In 1908, according to his friends, he suddenly disappeared In a mysterious fashion and his wife was unable to give an clue to his whereabouts or to assign a reason for his actions. Once "Shanchaied." Several years later, It was said, his wife was reported to have ob tained a divorce and since has married a prominent merchant. About two years later, It was said, Tanner suddenly surprised several old acqaulntances by calling on them at their home In Los An-! geles. He Is reported to have told them that he had been "shang haied" at night In Lower Broad way, New York, and was taken aboard a sailing vessel bound around Cape Horn. Tie reached a port on the Pacific northwest coast several months later, he Is said to have told thein. He said he had then gone to work for the Transconlntal ratt road and subsequently had sought employment In a mine, after which he went to Los Angeles. Tanner, however, is said to have shown reluctance in discussing some portions of his adventures and did not explain why he failed to return to his family and friends. Never fully explaining the rea son for doing so, he adopted the name of Taylor and was unknown as Tanner In Los Angeles. In 1910 he left Los Angeles and It was as sumed that he was going to Brlt Uh Columbia, for he had not been successful In the former city and his friends thought that he was going to Prince Rupert to resume his railroad work there. He re turned to Lot Angeles about 1913 and shortly after that obtained a1 position! with a motl.ti picture: concern at Lone Beach, his friends aid. I B Local and World O.A.C.

The scoring combination of Stinson and Iljelte took tbe var sity off its feet at the outset of the contest and these two players scored 10 points between them before Coach Bohler's proteges were able to conect for a lone tal ly with a free throw. The Aggie defense worked well throughout the game and It was this strong defense which held tbe varsity to two lone field goals in the Initial half. . Oregon solved the Aggie offen sive attack at the star of the sec ond period, however, and It was then that they began to hold Hjelte, the lanky center of the Aggies. The Aggie pivot man chalked up a total of seven field goals In the first half and Stin son made four. In the latter period, with six minutes to go.

What's New On The Market By ltcx Stewart The second 20 cent rise in flour prices on the barrel was an nounced this morning, making to tal increase of 40 cents during the week. While retail prices here have not risen, they are expected to shortly. The price per sack will be about 10 cents higher. This will make valley flour be tween f 1.65 and Jl 65 and east ern hard wheat J3.20 and 12.30. Columbia river smelt arrived on the market about noon today. They appeared in the Cowlltx riv er in small schools a day or ao ago. and are the first arrivals tor some time. The retail price Is 20 cents a pound. Halibut Is becoming lesa scarce. There Is a good supply and the price has dropped from $0 to 25 cents. Salmon remains at 30 cents. The egg market experienced little change today. Some mer chants reduced their price to 15 cents to farmers and 30 to con sumers. Shippers are paying 23 cents. Due to the low market the supply Is somewhat limited. ROUND THE SPORT By JACK VIEOCK Charley Ornstein, director of athletics in army posts in Vir ginia, Pennsylvania and Mary land, predicts that Uncle Samuel's soldier boys are due to open the eyes of other athletic contingents before so many months have pass ed. "The third corpa area. United States army," he writes, "com prises all of the posts, camps and statons in the states of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Ath letics In the army is growing by leaps and bounds, and in the near future the army will have highly d ev e 1 o p e d athletes In many branches of sport, capable and ell glble, too, to compete for this country on the Olympic team and In competition with collegiate and other athletic bodies. "Last year we conducted ath letics along Beverall lnes and our boxing tourney was particularly successful. This year we are go ing to have tourneys In boxing, wrestling, basketball, track and field, baseball and other sports, and next fall we will turn to foot ball." During the recent football sea son a big game between the army eleven an the marines was player at John Hopkins field, in Balti more, that took on much of the color and proportion of the annual Army'-Navy game between the service school teams. Just Why Johnnv Wilson nh challenge the winner of the Car- pentler-Cook bout in London in face of his run-out on Harrv rtreh is something we don't quite under stand. Taking it by and lares I n nn- pears that Johnny has a most wholesome respect for the Pitts burgh battler, who is so ariYiniia in meet him in a bout for the title that he in Wllllntr tn take n rhm of hurting himself by making weight. But from What Wa'va aeon nf Wilson in his flehts aiming Turtiro O'Dowd and Brvant Georges Carpentier has little to worry about as far as the middle weight champion Is concerned. Carpentier would go around Wil son like a cooner nrnnnd boo- chopping him to pieces. Better Keep these features out of Europe, .lawn.

Or Cook may decide that, having fail ed to startle Europe he will come to this country and try his luck with some of the lesser lights. In case he does It will not be amiss to paste the measurements away in your scrapbook for use in prob able future comparisons.

Judge Landls has gone and bit off another large cud for mastica tion. Hizzoner is out to put a stop to alleged tampering wi(h ball players in the ranks of O. B. Without the peradventure of a doubt the venerable high commis sioner is dead right. Tampering with ball players Is just about as honorable as grand larceny. And It has been done In both majors and minors. No doubt it Is being done even now and will be done again and again. But right or wrong, putting a step to it is something else again. First off a club owner, manager or scout has to be caught with the goods, and In these 'days of slick dealing catching 'em with the works Is no easy matter. As a rule someone not directly connected with a club that is after a certain player almost invari ably makes the first advances to him. That is easily enough ar ranged. And then, If the player likes the idea of joining out with the team in question, he seeks In formation on his own account and seldom has trluble getting it. We're not saying that the grand ole pastime Is cluttered up with tamperers or that it is spotted, like a freckled face, with those who would stoop to tamper. Yet as long as there is competition and It's a matter of dollars and cents, etc., you can bet there will be business rivalry and tamper ing. In short it's somewhat a part of the game.

Coach Tom Jones has experienced men, with high ratings in the western conference, to enter in practically every event. The Badgers are expected to be especially strong In ' the hurdles, distances and pole vault, with a well rounded team in the other events. Always among the lead ing contenters for the conference championship, Coach Jones feels that the 1922 team will be able to lead all of its competitors, provid ing eligibility does not cut heavily into the squad. Outstanding individual stars, however, are lacking among the Badgers. A. J. Knollin of Poca tello, Idaho, captain of the team, is expected to lead the conference in both high and low hurdles.
