CHESTER KEEL, IvOs Angeles, Feb. 14.—Slowly but surely the colls nre tightening In the William Desmond Taylor murder mystery. Developments, sane and practical, were the results Monday night of the officials working on the case and reiterations of an Impending arrest were made. This opinion became infectious when an otflclal admitted he was seeking a man and his wife who are alleged to have been the "go between" for a narcotic ring and certain ring stars. The couple have been in hiding several days. They were expected to be located Monday, but a premature announcement of their connection with the case Is believed to have sent them to another hiding place. Probe Stylishly Dressed Couple. Besides tl: ■ reputed drug ring con nection, the most Important devel opment was the visit of two men and two women to Woohvine's office late Monday afternoon. The first to ar rive was a fashionably dressed woman accompanied by a well dressed man. They were taken immediately into Woohvine's private office where, it Is believed, they gave new evidence in connection with the crime. Later a man, who had the appear ance of an actor was ushered Into Woolwine's office. Shortly after he left, a woman who is believed to be a housekeeper for a wealthy family was questioned by the district attor ney. The names of the four persons were zealously guarded by WoolwSne. Ho refused to state what their mission had been or what they had told him. Because of the secrecy maintained by Woolwine and their unexpected ap pearance In the Hall of Records on a holiday, much Importance is attach ed to their testimony. * * wwini liw * IVW9 T lOlt. Woolwine himself refused to tell where he went on his mysterious vis it Sunday night. He left his office between 9 and 9:30 and had not re turned home by 2 o'clock in the morning. The fact that he was ac companied by Detective Charles Jones and Ben Smith, official short hand reporter, led to the belief that his mission was to question an im portant witness. This belief was strengthened Monday when ho refus ed to tell where he had been or with whom he had talked. Deputy Sheriff Dewar is working on the drug ring angle. He has pos itive information, he says, that the man he is seeking was intimate with members of the film colony, and has acted as the agent for the narcotic ring. One person to whom he is al leged to have delivered a quantity oi a certain drug is said to be a star Both the man and his wife are alleged addicts of narcotics. Importance is attached to their con. nection with the case because manj officers working on it have expressed the belief that Taylor was slain by i drug crazed man. The fact that Cap tain of Detectives Adams reiteratec his statement that an arrest was 1m mlnent led to the belief that this mat was the missing link in the chat which will bind beyond doubt evl dence warranting the arrest. Pinkerton Arrives; Discusses Case. William D. Pinkerton, head of the famous detective agency, stated Mon day his belief that Taylor was nd slain by a woman. He said Taylo was shot by a man and was about t explain his reason for the motlv which prompted the slaying when h caught himself and closed the inter view with a smile. He denied he o his agency had been employed by th film industry to work on the case. K said lie had come to California for vacation. It became known Monday that Ma ble Normand had sent the followln telegram to her parents, Mr. and Mr.' Claude E. Normand, Staten Island: "Don’t worry, mama and papa. Unfortunately, I was at the Taylor home a short time before he was killed. Had I not gone there for some books my name would never have been mentioned in the af fair. They all know out here that I know nothing about the sad af fair and will be exonerated.—Ma bel." Adolph Zttkor, president of the Fa mous Players-Lasky Corporation, Is sued a statement today, in which h praised the film colony. Referring P the Taylor case, he said: "We all deplore the recent un fortunate occurrences but I have the utmost faith 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 60,000 persons in Los Angeles engaged therein, in ono capacity or another. And 1 am sure that the percentage of wholesome, God fearing men and women must be as large as among those engaged in any other line of endeavor. "Our company will leave no stor.o unturned to assist the au thorities In running down the perpetrator of the Taylor mur der.” SAMARITANS’ EX-CHIEF VIOLATED MANN ACT?

HIE INCLINED TO ACCEPT CHANEL IN 4 PH PACT To Prevent Defeat, He’s Ex pected to Favor Plan Pre venting Other Powers from Making U. S. Use Force. BY JAMES R. NOUR8E Washington, Feb. 14.—Intimations that President Harding will accept a reservation to the four power treaty rather than permit the treaty to be come Involved In a long, drawn-out fight in the Senate, were received Monday by senators who are disposed to Insist upon such a reservation. The Information came from a most reliable source and represented the president as being not entirely un friendly to a reservation which would provide that no decision of the othei* powers In the treaty could compel the use of force by the United States without specific authorization by con gress. The president, In reviewing tho work of the conference before the Senate last week, expressed tho opln-* Ion that there Is nothing In any of the treaties which is harmful to the independent right of action and sov ereignty of the United States. Many Disagree With Him. However, there are the strongest reasons for believing that the presi dent has been made acquainted with the fact that many of his former as sociates in the Senate strongly dis agree with him and take the position that the four power treaty does in re ality Involve the United States in art alliance "more dangerous in Its pro portions and in its possibilities” thar, the League of Nations. It Is understood that the president Is keeping In closest touch with ths situation developing in tho Senate and that he has been fully apprised of the turn of events in the foreign rela tions committee session last Saturday when almost a majority was disclosed in favor of a reservation to tho four power pact. The fact that so many of the members of this committee, on the very first day devoted to consid eration of this treaty, should give their support to a reservation is un derstood to have caused a consider able degree of alarm to Senator Lodge and other administration supporters, some of whom had been led to be lieve the treaty would have clear sail ing. Believe He May Coneent. This apprehension for the fate of tho treaty, unless a reservation is agreed to. Is understood to be felt by the president, and it is for this reason that some senators have been led to believe lie may consent to have a res ervation attached in preference to seeing the treaty plunged into a long and perhaps fatal debate. It became known Mondny that the president is desirous of having the treaties put out of the way in the senate before tho tariff hill is consid ered. This arrangement would' up set previous plans of Senate leaders who had decided on ratification of one of the treaties first and consider ation of the tariff and other pieces of domestic legislation next. Some of the senators most concern ed In the fight against the treaties are Inclined to be skeptical of the presi dent's ability to carry out this pro gram. Considering the fact that dis cussion of the Versailles treaty occu pied the space of 18 months, they find it difficult to believe that seven or eight treaties may be disposed of be fore the November elections. The fight on the four power treaty alone slated to be the first to como before the Senate, appears likely to occupy several months. Await Word from Wilson. Tho opinion that former President Wilson will take a definite stand with reference to tho treaties still obtains among the group of democratic sen ators most devoted to his principles. These senators are unable to under stand how the former president with his well known opposition to any sug gestion of a "balance of power" alli ance, could refrain from expressing hlmsolf upon the four power treaty which obviously partakes of all the qualities which aroused his opposi tion In the Paris conference. The Wil son democrats, as they are pleased to call themselves, are looking forward any day- to receiving a definite state ment £rom him suggesting what their attitude should be with respect to the four power alliance.
