checking on the latest "confession" to
murder of William Desmond Taylor,
film dlrectot. a ten page document
mailed from a small Connecticut city
was planned today by officers as
bUnied to tho case.
According to the "confession" as de
scrllied by the police, tho "confessor"
was a husband with whose mlfo Tay
lor bad had an affair, only to "scorn"
her later. Then tho husband and wife
planned and executed tbo murder, the
document stated. The namo of a Holly
wood man, connected with the motion
picture Industry was signed to tho
"confession" but tho police stated
they were certain thnt the man had no
I Rullty knowledge of the crime. They
said, however, that despite the fact
they knew tho name waa not Uie writ

"confessor" had some definite conneC'

WASHINGTON. Mar. .There is
no "alliance in the four-power ru-

republican member of the foreign re

opening In the senate dlscuselon of
the treatie on behalf of tho Adminis
tration.
Kcplying to criticisms of the treaty.
Senator New, a close personal friend
of President Harding, declared tho
four power treaties with tho Lengun'
of Nations plan and asserted that the
treaties were "cooperative," while tho
;B rr-wer 7.,
adds to the aecurity of alt of them,'
said Senator New. He emphasized
that rejection' of tho ; four-power-,
treuty would continue In foroe the '
Anglo-Japanese alliance with It moo-i
ace to America.
Regarding the treaty provision for
conference and determination ot pro
cedure In case of aggression. Senator
New said that the Hoc;-Takanira .
agreement contained a similar clause. .
"We have had for a decade an ob

today by the senate.
The resolution wok presented by
Senntor Borah, republican, Idaho, one
of the treaty opponents, and wa
M;reed to without a roll call, after a

NEW YORK, Mar. 6. Down at the
Yankee training camp in New Orleans
today. Manager Miller Hugglns and
his American league champions of
1921 were anticipating the arrival of
Babe Ruth, fence and record smasher
and baseball's child of fortune.
They bad been apprised ot the fact
that Babe, by the mere flipping of a
copper, had won tor himself a contract
calling for a salary ot something
around $50,000 a year and a $500 bonus
for every time he bumped the horse
hide for a round trip ot the sacks.
Huggina had only one worry t left,
Aaron Ward and his salary complaints.
Yesterday Ward and Hugglns talked
over their differences but failed to
come to terms. Ward Is reported to be
holding out tor a salary ot $10,000 a
year. -r ..
American whiskey and fancy liquor,
it was explained, would come higher.
Police were apprised of the meeting
when neighbors, puzzled by the large
number ot high priced automobile
parked in the vicinity, notified tho
authorities. The officers said they
were helpless lu the matter since the
members of the Associated Retail
Bootleggers of Spokane, as the organi
zation termed itseir, failed to take with
them samples ot their wares.
