- SEE GRAVE DANGER INCUTTINGAVAATION Aeronautic Body Urges Re- tention of Adequate ! Appropriations. Facts and figures tending to show that the Army air service, naval aviation and the national advisory committee for aeronautics are In danger through publie ignorance o apathy were presented today In a statement by the Aeronautical Cham- ber of Commerce of America, With headquarters in New York. Since the concluslon of the world war, the chamber states, the appro- priations for the aerial arm have Steadily diminished. The Army_ air appropriations in 1920-1921 were $33,- 000,000, in the following year $19.- 200,000, and khe proposed estimates for 1922-1923 are $15,210,770. The Navy figure# for these years, re- spectively, are $20,000,000; $13,413,431 and $17,043.310. The statement points out the demonstration of last summer as to the effectiveness of alrcraft as a means _of coastal defense. It also adds that the recent conference on “the limitation of armament not only refused to limit the aerial arm, but, on the contrary, adopted recommenda- tions looking toward its develop~ ment. gures for Great Britain air forc. the statement show that $9: 000,000 has been appropriated for its air ce, while F propriated approximately for her air force. T} statement o $15,210,770; | service in 19 3 (Arn Navy, $17,043.310) are now before the appropriations committee, and it is reported that they are to be cut. The suggestion comes from the beheq that. if the Army is to-be reduced, all branches must be reduced in equal proportion. But this cannot be wise- 1y applied to aviation, which is the one instrumentality that has not been completely developed. It is the; arm which, even in its present state. revolutionized our coast defense and contributed ectly toward saving vast sums in military and naval ex- Yenditures and which in case of fu- ture war will be our first and fore- most protection from the enemy. | Tese are the facts. ! h most of our! v all of our Army and | the very instrument se aconomies possible. through the anproval of the extreme- 1y modest amounts requested in the Army and Navy appropriation bills, the construction of aircraft as provided for in F.

By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, Calif., March 6.— Further checking on the latest t'con- fesslon” to the murder of William Desmond Taxlor, flm director—a ten- page document malled from a small Connecticut city—was planned for today by officers assigned to the case. According to the “confession” as described by the mplice, the “confes- sor” was a husband with whose wife Taylor had had an affair, only to “scorn” her later, Then the husband and wife planned and executed the murder, the document stated. The name of a Hollywood man connected with the motion picture industry was signed to the “coniession,” but the police stated they were certain that the man had no guilty kaowledge of the crime. They said, however, that despite the fact that a name they believed was not the writer's was signed, they felt inclined to believe the *confessor” had “some definite connection” with the murder. Tells How He Killed Taylor. _According to the letter, the film director had had “an affair” with the writer's wife. Later the director had “scorned” her, the wife confessed to her husband. and the two of them planned engeance,” the letter re- counted. The “confession” stated that the night of the murder, February 1, the writer and his wife drove in gn au- tomobile to hin two blocks of the Taylor bungalow. There they parked their car. From a distance they saw Mabel Normand, fihn actress, leaving the apartment, escorted to her motor car by the director, and Henry Peavy, Taylor's negro servant, talking with William Davis, Miss Normand’s chauffeur. While Taylor was talking with Miss Normand, the “confession” con- tinues, “the scorhed wife” slipped through the open front door of the director's bungalow and unlocked the back door for her husband to enter. Taylor returned the wife and husband confronted him. Portions of the letter concerning the actual meeting and the killing were not given out, but, according to the parts, the wife, after Taylor had been slain. left by the back door, which the husband locked after her and then hurried to their automobile and started the engine in readiness for a quick departure when he rejoined her. Then the husband left calmly by the front door, stooping slightly so |he would not be recognized if seen, joined his wife and drove away with her. Sands Not Writer of Letter. Capt. Adams declared the hand- writing of the “confessor” was simi- {lar to that of Edward F. Sands, miss- ing former butler-secretary to Tay- lor. but pointed out that the con- ext precluded its having been writ- ten by Sands, who was not married. ‘e name of a man prominent in the motion picture industry in Holly- wood was signed to the Connecti- ! cut confession, according to Capt. Adam A minute check of the latter's movements had been made, however, and the police are con- vinced, they state, that he has no intimate knowledge of the crime. More than 300 persons in the United States, one in England and one in France have “confessed” they lkillvd Taylor. but none of them has signed his ‘“confession” except the Connecticut writer, according to the iofficials. Most of 'the letters appa- rently were from poorly educated persons. In addition, hundreds of other let- ters have been received, advancing what the officers termed “highly im- probable theories” concerning -the murder mystery and its solution. TRACE OF SANDS CLAIMED. Hartford/ Paper Declares Taylor's Secretary Has Been in City. B the Associated Press. HARTFORD. Conn., March 6.—Ed- ward F. Sands, missing secretary in the' Taylor mystery, is believed by the Hartford Courant to have been in this city two weeks ago. 'The newspaper says that its investigation indicates that a man who registered at a local hotel, giving his address as San Francisco, was the missing Sands. The man who was at the hotel two weeks ago, the Courant says, is the same man who deserted from the Inaval base at New London during the war and who served in the navy under the name of Schneider. Supt. Robert T. Hurley of the Con- necticut state police said last night thzt he had received mo angwer to a telegram he had sent to the police of Los Angeles. He said he was ready to aid in an investigation of any Connecticut clues in the Taylor case as soon as he received any defi- nite information from the Los An- geles police. 7 NEBRASKA MOTHERS DAUGHTERS’ CLASSMATES One to Learn American Ideals While Realizing Girlhood Ambition. LINCOLN, Neb., March §.—Seven Ne- braska mothers, carrying from four to ten credit hours, have become the schoolmates of their daughters at the University of Nebraska. In the case of two of the mothers it is the realization of a girlhood ambition to attend col- lege. The others are enrolled for in- dividual purposes, one to learn Ameri- can_ideals, another to study modern student life and still another to theorize. ¢ Mrs. U. C. Brecht is the mother of three children, all girls, and now her classmates. The entire family is study- ing dairy and animal husbandry. Daughter Emma and her mother, Mrs, Enmma J. Kosch, frequently are mis- taken for sisters In university circles. Mrs. Kosch is a sophomore, and be- sides has two step-granddaughters in Cotner University. Art, rennaissance history and economics are found ‘on Mrs. Kosch’s card. Mrs. Frederica Lau received her high- er education in a German institution. So she entered the university with her two daughters to ‘“be with Americans and learn their ideals.” Philosophy, art, history, federal ad- ministration, economics, business ad- ministration and kindred subjects draw the mothers of four other students to the university. Two of these mothers report it “rather hard to get back into the swing of school work—there is so much to urlearn that we learned be- fore.”” These mothers Teport & change iking. in_theories—but {o their These seven mothers are regularly enrolled students.

Senor ‘Barros declares that the question had the same status in which | it was placed as an outcome of re-| cent diplomatic exchanges, asserting that Chile had nothing to conceal in this respect. He told the corres- pondent that he believed that Peru and Chile would reach an agreement over the contested territory at the conference in Washington. The sug- gestion that Arica be given to Chile and Tacna to Peru has been . dis- cussed here often by Chilean writers. This proposal has never seriously entered any of the many diplomatic negotiations between the two re- publics o far as is generally known. | Chilean delegates declare they have received final instructions from thei government oncerning the Wash- ington meeting. Chile’s recent notes to Peru have insisted on the execution | of the unfulfilled clauses in the Ancon treaty, Including a plebiscite to de- termine solution of the disputed ter- ritory. ® Neither the American State Depart- ment nor the embassies of Chile and Peru here had received any advices today tending to confirm reported terms of settlement of the Tacna- Arica dispute published in a Buenos Aires newspaper. GEM DEALER’S DAUGHTER THREATENED WITH DEATH Wealthy Diamond Merchant Guards Home Following Let- ters Demanding Money.

The Gebharts were in Florida and a son, Claude Gebhart, was living in | the home during their absence whenl he received the letters, addressed 1o his father, but did not open them until a third came. This contained a ! demand for $50,000, it was said, under | penalty of death or maiming of Mr. Gebhart's daughter, Mrs. A. P. Schwaegerle. Mr. Gebhart was notified of the let- ters and immediately returned home, with other members of the family, to make a personal investigation. Mr. Gebhart refused to take the letters seriously, declaring he be- lieved them to be the work of an irresponsible person or a fanatic, but had guards posted around his place as a matter of precaution. —_— HOUSES FOR PALESTINE.
