LOCATION OF LETTERS TO MABLE tJORMAND 4, AND MARY WINTER BY TAYLOR IS MYSTERY

r'

(By Associated Press) LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 8 Location of Mabel Normand's and Mary Miles Winter's letters to William Desmond Taylor, murdered film director, the possibility of the issuance of a complaint charging murder against Edward F. Sands, Taylor's missing former butler-secretary, and renewed activity of detectives toward declarations that the sweetheart of a screen actress was' seen near the Taylor apartments the night of the murder, were angles early today of the police investigation into the motion picture mystery. The letters written to Taylor by Miss Normand and for which she searched his apartments vainly two days after his murder have been returned to her, according to three detectives working on the case. The return was made, it was declared after a man connected with the , film world, who had taken them for some unknown purpose during the confusion surrounding the finding of Taylor's body, had been threatened with a grand jury investigation. Who made this alleged ' threat was not stated. A representative of Miss Normand said the letters had not been given back to her. Deny Seeing Them

Adams stated the police never had

been in possession of Miss Normand's letters nor of those written by Miss Minter to Taylor although the latter also, according to Captain Adams, have been returned to the writer. Miss Minter has guards around her house to keep away uninvited callers, as she is ill, it is reported. Her attorney however, denied she had received the letters. William C. Doran, chief deputy district attorney, stated a complaint " -charging Sands or Edward Fitz Strathmore, as he also is known, with the murder of Taylor, might be issued today, depending upon developments. Detective Sergeant Edward King, assigned to duty at the District Attorney's offi.ce previously had made a similar statement. Another Clue. Tt was reported also that more in

formation had been given to the police to the effect that a man in love with a screen actress, who did not return his love, but who was believed to have had affection for Taylor, had been seen near the Taylor apartments before the murder. ¶ A story told by Howard Fellows, chauffeur, for Taylor, that about 8:15 o'clock the night of the murder he returned to the apartments with Taylor's car, was said by the police to have satisfied them that it was he who was seen by Mrs. Douglas McLean, wife of a film actor, and her maid. ¶ Fellows said he rung the bell several times but received no answer. Finally, as there was a light in the apartments he concluded Taylor did not wish to be disturbed, so he proceeded to place the car in the garage. Defends Film Colony ¶ A reply to criticisms of the motion picture colony here resulting from the murder of Taylor, has been issued by Mayor George E. Cryer. ¶ "The attacks being made, particularly in outside cities, against the morals of the so-called motion picture colony in Los Anfeles [Angeles], are unfair, and due, I believe, to hastily formed conclusions by people not familiar with real facts," he said. ¶ 'The Arbuckle case and the slaying of Taylor were indeed unfortunate affairs, but it is not just to criticise [criticize] an entire group of people such as engag-

ed in the motion picture industry for incidents, many of them not true as to fact, -which have been published broadcast lately. "Los Angeles is proud of the fact that it is the motion picture capital of the world. While my acquaintance

ship with the personnel of the men and women engaged in this industry is not large I am persuaded that there are hundreds of clean, law-abiding men and women engaged in the

making of motion pictures and in

their behalf, I ask the open mmaea

Judgment and the even-handed Justice

characteristic of our American people." SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 8. Taylor, wa9 the "duke of Dawson City" in 1910, according to a story told here by Adelbert Bartlett, who said he knew the slain film director well in the Yukon. Taylor had one. of the few dress suits in Dawson City, Bartlett said, and he wore it upon appropriate occasions. -He also wore tweeds, a soft crush hat, and "tasteful haberdashery' 'and was "immensely popular" with the women. He was further described as a "crack" tennis player and card expert. Taylor was 'timekeeper for the Yukon gold company at ?175 a month, Bartlett said. "I understood Taylor had been in the Yukon previously, in 1898 and 1899," said Bartlett. "When I was there it was 1910. Taylor, Robert W. Service, the poet and I frequently played tennis in the long twilights."

How Marshal Foch Defines Success PARIS, Feb. 8. Marshal Foch, leader of the allied forces in the World war, has given the following definition of success: "Every time youVe a task before you, examine it carefully, take exact measure of what is expected of you. Then make your plan, and, in order to execute it properly, create for yourself a method. Never improvise. The fundamental qualities for good execution of a plan are, first, naturally, intelligence; then discernment and judgment, which enable one to recognize the best methods to attain it ; then singleness of purpose, and, lastly, what is most essential of all, namely, will stubborn will. "A leader is, above all things, an animator. His thought and faith must be communicated to those he leads. He and they must form but one at the moment of executing a plan. That is the essential condition of success."

meeting. Further information will be secured at a meeting of the farmers' institute Feb. 18, one subject of the program being good roads with W. O. Jones of Wayne county, Indiana, as a speaker.
