TAYLOR DEATH

Former Star’s Notes to Be.

Offered Grand Jury in Slaying Probe.

EX-ACTOR IS NAMED

One-Time Film Actress Will |

Be Quizzed on 15-Year-Old Crime.

By United Press LOS ANGELES, May 6.—Diaries of Mary Miles Minter, one-time movie star, were studied today for evidence they may provide in the 15-year-old William Desmond ‘Taylor murder. Buron Fitts, District Attorney, obtained two diaries, written both before and after Taylor, screen director, was killed. He said they would be presented to the Grand Jury. Attorney Fitts refused to divulge contents of the diaries saying they were ‘interesting but not sensational.” But Mrs. Margaret Fillmore, sister of the former actress, declared the diaries ‘“mads Mary Astor's diary look like a postscript.” Spurn Reconciliation Mrs. Fillmore and her estranged mother, Mrs. Charlotte Shelby, appeared at the grand jury chambers here today to testify. Mrs. Shelby .and her daughter met in the grand jury anteroom fer the first time in nearly a year and for the first time since Mrs. Shelby sought to have her daughter declared mentally incompetent. Miss Minter declared today that she would be glad to-tell the Grand Jury all she knew of the Taylor case. * “But I don’t know what there is new that I can add,” she declared. “I have hidden nothing from the world that would help.” When asked about the diaries Miss Minter declared they were written long before the Taylor slaying. Mr. Fitts said the diaries, mention a once prominent actor who was a close friend of, Miss Minter when Taylor was murdered. The District Attorney said .this man would be que’tioned. hl Mr. Fitts said the former star’s sister was under the “protection” of a woman investigator from his office overnight. A subpena was served upon Mrs. Shelby at her Laguna Beach home and a similar summons was given Miss Minter "when investigators came to her home to seize the diaries. Mrs. Shelby declared she was ready to answer any questions of ~the District Attorney. | : “For the past 15 years there have been many rumors, innumerahle threats against me, and now comes practically a formal ‘charge by my own daughter, Mrs. Fillmore, to the effect that I withheld important facts and that she assisted me in withholding them from the authorities. “if she, or any other person, has any facts concerning the murder of William Desmond Taylor, I demand that they be disclosed immediately.” Demands “Showdown”

Only three months ago the Taylor case had its last “reopening” with Miss Minter appearing, angry and tearful, at the district attorney's office. ‘She demanded a “showdown” on reports that a silk* nightgown initialed “M. M. M.” had been found

among the director's possessions. Miss Minter insisted she never had possessed such a garment. Upon * her demand, the criminal files of ‘the case were searched. No nightgown was found. , Miss Minter’s was one of several film careers that faded soon after the hanfilsome director was found shot in his bachelor bungalow. Taylor's body was discovered hy his houseman. The slaying . was

estimated to have occurred approxi-:

Dishonest Employers May Nullify Gains, Arthur Babson Warns.

ENCOURAGES INITIATIVE

F. W. Van Antwerp, South ‘Bend, Named New Head Of State Group.

Business activity is nearing 1929 levels, Arthur C. Babson told In-

diana bankers-today, but he warned that the gains might be nullified by dishonest .employers, selfish workers and unscrupulous politicians. “Only a return to those homespun virtues of honesty, industry, courage, thrift and initiative will solve our fundamental problems,” he said. “The fog of depression has evaporated before the influence of higher profits, more orders and greater em--ployment,” Mr. Babson declared, adding that business activity already had reached 1923-27 levels. J, F, T. O'Connor, Controller of Currency, was to speak at this afternoon’s meeting. F. W. Van Antwerp, South Bend, was scheduled to be elevated to the association presidency. Resolution and nominating committee reports and election and installation of officers was to conclude the 41st annual convention in the Claypool Hotel.

60 Billion Income

Mr. Babson, a member of the Babson Statistical Organization, estimated that the national income in 1936 was about 60 billion dollars, an increase of more than 50 per cent over 1932 and within 28 per cent of the 1929 high of 83 billions. “The physical volume of business last year was 4 per cent above 1930,” he continued. “Thus we may hail 1936 as the best year in point of business volume since 1929. Even with this handsome increase, we believe that business in 1937 will be at least 7 per cent better than last year.” He declared that the debt of industry was the lowest in years, fixed charges having been greatly reduced, large amounts of refinancing consummated at low interest rates, corporation earnings increased rapidly, bank clearings gaining and business failures abnormally low. Mr. Babson predicted a long-term upward trend on the New York Exchange and said the value of stock prices quoted had increased from the low of 16 billion dollars in 1932 to a current value of 60 billions.

SECOND DENHARDT TRIAL LIKELY IN FALL

Jury, Failing to Agree on Verdict, Discharged.

By United Press } : NEW CASTLE, Ky., May 6.—Brig. Gen. Henry H. Denhardt must be tried once more for the murder of his sweetheart, Mrs. Verna Garr Taylor, “the prettiest woman in

Oldham and Henry Counties.” A jury of 12 farmers reported today, after considering his case 19 hours and 30 minutes, that it would be “impossible” to reach a verdict. Judge Charles C. Marshall immediately discharged “it. Denhardt’s next trial, Judge Marshall said, will begin in “due course,” probably at the September term of court. 1-1 i The bald soldier-politician, former Lieutenant Governor, was jubilant as he talked with newspapermen in his dingy cell. “It was a great victory and a vindication for me,” he.said.. “It was wonderful. I am going home now to Bowling Green.” Commonwealth Prosecutor H. Benton Kinsolving refused to make any other statement than that “this man will be tried .again.” Denhardt’s departure for Bowling Green awaited reinstatement of his $25,000 bond. Jurors said that from the first ballot they stood seven for acquit-

tal and five for conviction.

LAW INSTITUTE HEARS HUGHES

Society Must Choose Between ‘Reason and Force,’ Chief Justice Says.

(Text Page 11.)

By United Prcss WASHINGTON, May 6. — Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes today told the American Law Institute that society must choose between the “processes of reason as opposed to the tryranny of force.” His remarks, enthustically applauded by a distinguished audience of attorneys, were regarded as directed at President Roosevelt's judiciary reorganization program. : : Mr. Hughes made no mention of the: Administration court plan. However, Ne defended present Supreme Court procedure and outspokenly appealed for tolerance in “maintaining the instrumentalities for the impartial determination of controversies.” . Mr. Hughes was cheered when he rose to speak. Each reference in his speech considered by the audience to refer to the court plan drew applause. ; : Defends Court

. “We erect no monuments to mere shrewdness,” Mr. Hughes said, departing from his prepared text to add: “ .. |. even the greatest in de-

gree.” | The Chief Justice’s remarks echoed the defense of present court procedure which was contained in his letter on effects of adding more justices to the Supreme Court bench which was presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee by Senator Burton K. Wheeler, foe of the President’s court plan. Chief Justice Hughes’ words were his most outspoken since the court controversy developed. While his letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee was interpreted as in opposition to the President's plan, his words today far surpassed his testimony in significance. The earlier part of his speech was devoted to an eulogy of Elihu Rpot, who died recently, as a great leader of the bench and bar in national and international affairs. Mr. Root, he said, employéd a method of marshaling “the forces of intelligence” to meet any specific need in a “sénsible fashion.”

If he votes the way he looked, he land the four ultra-conservative | justices will invalidate the old-age | plan, covering some 26,000,000 ! workers. Such a decision might add great | strength to the proposal of the ' President to enlarge the Court, It might also impair® the “availability” of Justice Roberts as Republican Presidential timber. The justice's face was a rapidly changing study as he listened in the ill-ventilated courtroom to the closing arguments of E. F. McClennen, Justice Brandeis’ former law partner, attacking the law, and of Charles 'E. Wyzanski Jr. Justice Department attorney, defending it.

Asks No Questions

Justice Roberts asked no questions. Most of the inquiries from other

justices were exploratory, but several of those by Justice Stone, foremost New Deal defender on the bench, suggested to some that Justice Stone anticipated an adver: decision ‘on the act. . It was nearly 4 p. m. when Mr. McClennen concluded his argument

with a statement that “nothing in the Constitution permits Congress to run the internal affairs of the State.” Justice Roberts, in his seat at the north end of the bench, had nodded slightly when Mr. McClennen said the old-age taxes were “compulsory contributions to be collected by a tax.” He went back to looking at papers, but looked up again when Mr. McClennen asserted that “these are not taxes but forced contributions.” It was on grounds of this sort—coercion—that Justice Roberts’ opinions knocked out the railroad pension act and the AAA. When ‘Mr. Wyzanski took up the argument for the final 30 minutes of the four-hour: case, - Justice Roberts turned to the papers on his desk. After four minutes of Wyzanski, he made a remark to his neighbor, Justice “Butler of the conservative bloc. Justice Butler asked Mr. Wyzanski how many workers were not covered by the old-age pension law. Mr. Wyzanski said 21,000,000 workers, on farms, in homes, etc., were not covered, but 26,000,000 industrial workers were, ?

. Justice Roberts chatted again with Justice Butler, then leaned back and

lifted the pince-nez glasses from his long, strong nose. He appeared. to be dozing.

Eyes Are Closed

His eyes were closed as Mr. ‘Wyzanski explained the rapidly increasing prcblem of the aged— those over 65 used to number 3 per cent, now they number 6 per cent, and by 1980 they will make up 14

per cent of the population. At 4:10 he put on his glasses, wrote a note, called a page, and gave the note to him. Then, after reading a minute, he leaned back in his swiveled, highback chair and closed his eyes. He became more attentive when Mr. Wyzanski waked the shade of John Marshall to support this nationalistic law. Then he seemed to doze again. “No man of 65—” Mr. Wyzanski was perorating as he neared the 4:30 adjournment, but Justice Roberts— the only justice urider 65—was looking at the clock. Just on the second of 4:30 Mr. Wyzanski concluded: “This statute gives every man a vital stake in the national Government.” The marshal’s gavel fell, and Justice Roberts was out of .the courtroom before the marshal concluded his announcement, “This Court is

By United Press BILBAO, May 6.—A contingent of 2300 Spanish children, torn from their mothers and fathers by misfortunes of war, sailed today for Francesunder the protecting guns of British warships while two Rebel warships steamed ominously close. Many of the children were or-

phans. The mothers of the others, and fathers who were not at the fighting front, watched from ashore, peering toward the misty horizon

until the convoy was out of sight.

Many were in tears. The children were taken aboard the old trans-Atlantic liner Habana and the small fishing trawler Goiseko Izarra. The ships sailed from Port Santurce, 1215 miles from Bilbao. They were escorted to the three-mile limit by.armed Basque trawlers, under the guns of the shore batteries.

Red: Crosses on Sides

The ships had big red crosses painted on their sides, indicating an errand of mercy. At the three-mile limit two British destroyers took them over. The Habana and Goizeko Izarra ran up the British flag. The Rebel battleship Almirante Cervera and the destroyer Velasco lay in wait. Those ashore saw the Almirante Cervera approach the convoy. The British battleship Royal '0ak steamed up and the convoy increased speed, drawing away from the Rebels. The children were elnbarke®” at 4 a. m.

CASE GOES TO JURY

10 Men and Two Women Ponder Verdict.

By United Press AUBURN, Me., May 6.—The contempt cases of Powers Hapgood of Indianapolis, New England secretary of John L. Lewis’ Committee for Industrial Organization. and six other leaders of the 42-day Lew-iston-Auburn shoe strike went to a Supreme Court jury of 10 men and two housewives at 12:50 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) today. Presiding Justice Harry Manser issued the injunction which the seven defendants allegedly violated through strike activities. "Shortly before, the - defense - had rested after presenting its last two witnesses. : One of these witnesses was William J. Mackesy, an organizer for C. I. 0. United Shoe Workers of America and a defendant. He denied having urged the workers at a Lewiston mass-meeting to go to Auburn to see their friends. What he did say, he testified, was that he hdd no doubt that their friends in Auburn would be glad to see them. Mackesy said he was the only speaker at the mass-meeting in Lewiston City Hall on the afternoon of April 21 which was fdllowed by the march to Auburn and the riots that resulted in the calling out of the National Guard. The final defense witness was another U. S. W. A. organizer, also a defendant, Martin J. Lawless. All he said at the meeting, he testified, was that the strike would continue regardless of Justice Manser’s injunction.
