SEARCH MADE FOR ‘YEGGMAN’ BELIEVED SHOT Cops Surprise Safe-Crackers at Work in West Washington Street. FALLS WHEN SHOT FIRED Detectives today are watching: hospitals and offices of pnyeic-lans in their search for a “yeggman” believed to have been shot by police officers who surprised him while breaking open a safe in the office of the Standard Oil filling station, Geisendorff and West Washington streets, early today. The police turned the surprise party into a wild west show with plenty of gun play, but the bandits escaped. Patrolman J. J. Sullivan and Willis Thompson saw the window shades of the office were drawn and went to investigate. Peeking in they saw a man battering the door of the safe with a pinch bar and sledge hammer. Thompson was at the window of the office and Sullivan was *at the door. Thompson fired one shot at the burglar and the “yeggman” fell backward. BURGLAR CRIES. “YOU’VE GOT ME.” “You have yjgot me,” cried the burglar, as he lay groaning on the floor. Thompson, believing he had shot the burglar, turned and pursued another man believed to have been the lookout for the safe breaker. As Thompson left the window the burglar staggered to his feet and Sullivan fired at him through the glass of the dopr. The burglar ran and jumped through the window Thompson had left unguarded and sped east on Washington street. The policeman fired, but the fugitive escaped by ] turning at Blackford street. When the police emergency squad tinder Sergeant Dean arrived they | found the yeggman and the watcher i both had escaped. Motor Policeman , Dalton was prowling through a junk j yard a half block from the tilling station when he saw a man jump from a hiding | place near the top of a pile of old iron, j Dalton fired five shots as tile man ran. ) The emergency squad In an automobile Joined the pursuit when they heard the i shots fired. However, the suspect escaped in an alley near Blake and Geisendorff streets. BOOR ALL BUT FORCED OPEN. An investigation in the office of the filling station showed the “yeggmen" had battered the hinges and combination from the safe, and had forced the heavy pinch bar in at dhe too of the safe door. The door was all bur open when the burglar was interrupted by the police. The yeggman wore Army trousers and a cap. The police found an Army overcoat and a cap, a pinch bar and a sledge hammer at the filling station. The men are not the same burglars who robbed the Sfttndard Oil Filling Station at Meridian and Thirtieth street, the police say. The men who robbed the Meridian street station are described as “expert safebreakers” while the thieves who were surprised in the West Washington street filling station of the same company are described by the police as “amateur safebreakers,” but “professional runners.” The West Washington street filling station has been robbed before, but it has been some months since burglars visited the place. Some months ago another filling station two blocks west of the Standard Oil Company's station was robbed by “yeggmen” who hauled the safe away. It never has been found. THINK TAYLOR GAVE LIFE TO SHIELD WOMAN (Continued From Page One.) the good name of an innocent motion picture star. The district attorney's staff believes Henry Peavey, Taylor’s negro valet, is withholding valuable information regarding Taylor's private life which might lead to apprehension of the murderer. They contend he holds the key to solution of the mystery; that he knows the motive for the crime and may possibly know the slayer. Peavey s remark, “I expected it,” when he discovered Taylor's body, and Arto’a new testimony, coupled with the negro's unwillingness to discuss the ease, convince officials he is unconsciously shielding the murderer through a mistaken idea of loyalty to his employer. MORE LETTERS ARE FOUND. Another collection of letters from women has been found in Taylor's house. The names of the writers are withheld. It is understood the missives bear the ■lgnutures of many different women. They all are sought by detectives for questioning as to their whereabouts the night of the murder. The sweetheart of Edward F. Sands, former valet of Taylor, and one of the suspects, is reported to have visited Woolwine and to have given him information which may lead to Sand's apprehension. She is the women who, heavily veiled, slipped into Woolwine’s office Sunday night, according to this report. She determined to teP the authorities nil she knew when Sands "threw her over” for .another woman. Ever since this visit she has been shadowed in ex pectation Sands might visit her again. In fact, the woman scorned—it is reported—is being used as human bait to lure Sands into the hands of the police So far, however, he bus refused to bite. Captain of Detective? Adams maintains Sands has knowledge of the crime if he is not actually the murderer. Charles A. Jones, former police chief, who is assisting in the investigation, stated that the inquiry has exonerated many suspects. Among the persons he had talked with are attorneys for some movie stars. THINK MONEY WAS TO BUY LIQUOR. The $2,500 check which Taylor drew the day before his death was to buy li- j quor, according to (he most recent po- ■ lice theory. Taylor had a well stocked j private cellar, police said. Taylor's checks are providing many ! new clews. Examination of his check stubs show he gave large sums to many movie stars without getting any notes or other security from them. These movie j people are being asked why Taylor gave j them money. One theory is that Taylor i may have loaned a large sum to a man or woman who preferred killing him to j paying the debt. William A. Pinkerton, head of a na- | tional detective agency, refused to deny ; or affirm a report he had been hired by the Famous Players Lttsky Company to run down the murdered. Adolf Zukor, j head' of that company, also was in Los j Angeles. Pinkerton has started an In- i vestigation of the tragedy, but without | revealing in whose interests he is act- , ing. As yet no reward has been offered by the film company, but it is understood a substantial payment will, be made for information leading to an arrest. Anew jealousy clew has been developed in the questioning of witnesses during the last few hours, Woolwine said. These j witnesses include police officers H. Kearin I and A. R. Allmontz, of the Hollywood ! station. ACTRESS’ ADMIRER NOW IMPLICATED. Woolwine said a young man, known to have been infatuated with a movie actiess has been implicated. He would discuss it no further and refused to say to w!/r<t actress he referred. Thv’“hless°d baby" letters have been leturned to their '**’• r Mabel Norotund, taiuout a.-.cu auisi,

last person to see Taylor alive, admitted the letters she had written the slain screen director, which have been in the possession of the district attorney, have teen returned to her. Regarding the letters. Miss Normand was quoted as characterizing them as “childish and innocent in tone,” in the statement. “They are all of such nonsensical nature they h(tve absolutely no value except as they indicate the good fellowship which existed between Mr. Taylor and myself,” it continued. “Why, I shouldn’t have Areamed of writing anything to him except of a light-hearted nature. Our whole friendship was founded on that line. He was a wonderful man and a generous man and many of nay notes to him were re ; quests for small contributions for my pet charities. I always gave small checks, to the Little Sisters of the Poor, and I frequently asked him to make similar donations. “He used to urge me to be less extravagant and I wanted to Jolly him about his wisdom and at the same time make my own purpose clear to/him. I never could refuse any one in distress. I loved to help those about me who were in hard luck and one of the greatest pleasures my success has brought me was it enabled me to give freely to those who needed money. The only value I c( uld see in a large salary was to be able to help those less fortunate than I. "My letters were all so childish ana simple they would have meant notk'cj but perhaps a moment's cheer to so wonderful a man as was Mr. Taylor. He was a fine, clean, wholesome man and he spurred my ambition and made me study. He wasn't like younger men who always wanted me to put on evening clothes and go out somewhere to dance and dine. He liked to sit at home and talk about hooks. He helped me much with my reading and study and encouraged me to think some time I might accomplish something along that line.” Police are checking further statements of George S. Arto, a machinist, who declared he saw a third n an in front of the Taylor home the night \>f the tragedy. This man, he said, was in, conversation with Henry Peavey, colored servant of the film director, while William Davis chauffeur for Mabel Normand, was sitting In the car waiting for Miss Normand, Davis said he saw no one talking to Peavey. Arto made a similar statement several days ago, but by checking with friends later, he fixed the occurrence as of Feb. 1, the date of the murder. Deputy Sheriff Dewar says he Is convinced his search for a drug clique will produce definite clews. According to information already qnearthed in this connection officers found a woman leader and other members of the narcotic ring disappeared from their usual haunts the day following Taylor’s murder. Police have traced the movements of the woman for several weeks and hare established, they say, she maintained headquarters not far from the slain man’s home. ZUKOR DEPLORES BLOWS TO INDUSTRY. Adolph Zukor, Famous Players-I.asky !Vad, discussing the agitation against the film industry, as a result of the recent happenings, said: “We all deplore the recent unfortunate occurrences. “But I have the utmost fiath in the men and women in the profession who are working earnestly and giving the best that is in them. “This is a big Industry—there must be at least 50,000 persons in Los Ange-~ les engaged therein, in one capacity or another. And I am sure the percentage of wholesome God fearing men and women must be as large as among those following any other line of endeavor. “Our company will leave no stone unturned in assisting to run down the perpetrator of the Taylor murder.” Negroes Are Held on Burglary Charge Ernest Walker, negro. 19, 1822 Northwestern avenue, was arrested by police today on a charge of burglary, and Ernest Arnett, 20, negro. 755 Indiana aven’ue, said to have been with Walker when he burglarized the store of C. .Tones. 789 Indiana avenue, Dec. 11, also was arrested.

SANITARY BODY PAYS NUMBER OF ITS DEBTS Receives SIOO,OOO Cash cn Temporary Loan—Mules Topic Again. Final payment for motor garbage and itsh hauling equipment bought last August was made by the board of sanitary commissioners today, following receipt of SIOO,OOO on a” temporary loan negotiated last week. The board owed three ci mpunies half of the amounts due for trailers,.and trucks, payments being made as follows: Highway Trailer Company, $13,113.75: Citizens Motor Car Company. SO,OOO and It. i\ Reinhart Company, $3,000. The board was unable to pay for the equipment after it was contracted for because it was discovered bonds could not be issued for any purpose other than construction. Payment of the first half was made out ot maintenance funds of 1921. The money just turned over comes out of 1122 maintenance money. Jay A. Craven, president of the board, announced that the board is considering the We of the sixty mules used in the garbage collection department and renting of animals in their place. Several months ago the board started reusing instead of owning ash hauling mules and found that $7 a week could tie saved on upkeep of each mule amL,. 25 per cent in time by renting them from owners keeping them iu districts where they work. Mules are used to haul the trailers throug the alleys to central points where the trailers are gathered up by trucks and harried on to the dumps. The board finds It. more expensive to own than to rent mules for the added reason that about four years of service on hard pavements wear out the average animal, Mr. Craven said. HOWAT’S HAND SEEN IN HALTING MINERS’ SESSION! (Continued From fa*e One.) themselves at the lesser end of the cornucopia if the critical situation were allowed to drift along Into a strike, and they admit that the public is in no mood to be hooked up on a three-horned dilemma —suspension of mining operations In two fields and possible sympathetic action by the railroad unions which. In effect, have been Invited to Join tiie strikes If they came to pass. In this connection certain union officials frankly admit they “don’t think much" of the p’■'■'ibliitles of successful coalition or “def. aslve alliance" with the railroaders. THREE ROUTES IN STRIKE EV ASION. As has been stated only three routes of egress have been visible from the maze of threatened strikes: Recession by the miners ftom tlo-ir announced intention oi demanding wage increases; a backing down by the operators from their announced intention of enforcing pay cuts, or third, government intervention. Having once tasted Government Interference with the eoal Industry, mimers’ officials explain, neither the union/nor the operators crave more of that dish. Po the miners are making the first move, nnfK-they make It clear that their lad line of defense Is the present scale, with concessions as to working conditions, and unless the operators meet them fifty-fifty by giving in on their own stand, a tie-up may yet occur . But "go easy on the strike tulk" is the significant watch-word of the union camp. A N TH RAI l TE COALITTON LIKELY TO GO BY HOARD. The long-sought close coalition of the bituminous aud anthracite jCoal fields of the country, now achieved, is to go by the boards. For years the United Mine Workers sought to make the dates of contracts in both fields Identical, so that if one field arrived at a wage agreement when tlm other failed. Joint pressure could be brought to bear. Now, however, it Is learned on good authority union chieftains have decided that miners In each field shall paddle their own canoe. It whx found Impracticable, it was explained, to attempt unified action because the unwieldly bulk of the two virtually separate organizations. At mast a month's suspension In the anthracite filelds is considered inevitable, nevertheless, by some union effMale. Although a ■ it! for Joint negotiations with the operators' Is ready. It may be with held until after the miners' railroaders' parley In Chicago Feb. 21. Routine ot getting together would extend well beyond April 1, when the agreement ex pires, It was stated, and It probably would be May I before mines could be operated under anew contract. Such a suspension, however, would be “excellent" for both operators and miners, It was said, giving the now disrupted Industry an opportunity to become stab! llzed EFFORTS TO RESTORE HO WAT FAIL. Efforts of Illinois miners’ officials to pour oil on the troubled waters and restore Alex Ilowat and his “outlaw" followers to the good graces of the United Mine Workers failed today.

But the effort was fruitless.
