STARVNG FAMILY OFTFOUND SLAN Utica Man Believed to Have Killed Wife, Children and Self. By the Associated Press. UTICA, N. Y., February 19.—Rath- er than see his wife and five children starve to death, Guy Taylor, a teamster without work, killed his en- tire family and then efided his own life with or. The tragedy was enacted probably a week ago, but did not become known until yesterday, when, on the repre- sentations of a neighbor, the police foreed an entrance into the squalid tenement occupied by the Taylors and found seven bodies. The de: ieorge M. Taylor, 35; his wife, 35; Elizabeth, 16; Owen, 14; Albert, 12; Goldie, §; an infant whose name is not known. Wife's Throat Cut. Mrs. Taylor's throat was cut with & ragor and Taylor committed sui- cide with the same weapon. The children were killed with a razor and a bowie knife. The appearance of the room and the condition of the bodies indicated that all except the boy Owen were killed as they slept. Owen apparent- ly had struggled with his father, as his body was found on the floor against one of the beds. The other niembers of the family lay in bed where they had been slain. Every shade was drawn and every door was locked and bolted, indicat- ing to Coroner Gordon Holden and the police investigators that Taylor bad deliberately planned the extermi- nation of his family. Not much is known here about the family except that they came from Schenectady about two months ago and that for a while Taylor was em- ployed as a teamster. He had been out of work since February 4. House Shows Poverty. Poverty was apparent when the house was entered today. The food supply consisted of a little sugar and a small crust of bread. Three beds, a kitchen table, a dilapldated chair and a bench comprised the furniture. Taylor's last pay envelope was found empty in a closet. It indicated that his last pay was $238.50. The family was a happy one. Tay- lor spent a good part of each evening playing on his accordion while the children sang in chorus to the music. It was the absence of the music that led to today’s investigation. Another occupant of the building, missing the music and noticing that the shades were tightly drawn, re- ported to the police that he feared something was wrong. ROCKYVILLE. ROCKVILLE, Md.

Four hundred mill strikers entered the British Cigarette Co., in the inter- national settlement and attempted to intimidate thuosands of employes into joining the strike. The company de- cided to close down to prevent trouble. Appeals to Workers. Among the appeals to workers was one which read: “The Cantonese force has been vic- torious. The power of Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang has ended. The time is opportune for the people to assist the movement against the militarists.” Another leaflet warned the strikers to maintain order. Three of the biggest Chinese de- partment stores in the international settlement, employing thousands, also decided to close. Marshal Sun's defense committee asked permission of the foreign au- thorities to run armored motor cars through the international settlement if necessary to put down trouble in the Chincse section of the city. New Battle in Prospect. Another prospective battle is in the offing, with Marshal Sun gather- ing together a broken army of some 40,00 men to make a last stand at Sun- kiang, 28 miles south of here. The Cantonese from whom an attack is expected, were said to have 50,000 or more troops on their southern front. Foreign forces in Shanghai and aboard men-of-war in the river here aggregated upward of 10,000 and oth- s of 10,000 are due soon, including 0 American Marines from San Diego. A strike of seamen at Canton was threatened today ‘because an English magistrate sentenced a sailor to three months at hard labor for seditious ut- terances. The seaman had been ar- rested aboard the American liner President Taft at Hongkong. One American and one British naval officer were beaten in & demon- stration at Ichang when attacked by a mob of coolies who objected to the landing of a cargo by a British boat, and a landing force from the British sunboat Cockchafer has been put ashore. The American was Licut. John F. Luten, a Navy doctor from the American’ gunboat Elcano. He was said to have been responding to a hospital call ashore. His uniform was nearly torn from his back. SUN STILL RETREATING. Shanghai Defender May Make Stand 20 Miles From City. LONDON, February 19 (#).—A re- port that Sun Chuan-Fang is still fall- ing back toward Shanghai after losing Kashing was forwarded to the Even- ing News today by Sir Percival Phillips, its Shanghai oprrespondent. Kashing is 50 miles south of Shan- ghal, on the raflroad leading from Hangchow, the capture of which city | marked the latest major success for the Cantonese army marching north- ward through Chekiang Province. Latest reports from Shanghai are that Sun is gathering his forces for a stand at Sunking, 20 miles south of Shanghal, and on the same railway. Coolies’ Unrest Feared. Storles of unrest among the coolles in the Shanghal vicinity serve as a disturbing factor, but there is con- fidence generally in the ability of the international troops at Shanghai to cope with any situation that may arise and afford protection to for- eigners In the International settle- ment. This confidence was bolstered by announcement from Shanghal that about 9,500 effectives, not including Marines, are actually in the city, ready to defend the foreign settle- ments, and that 21 warships are at{ anchor in nearby waters, and news that six transports with troops from England and Mediterranean posts are due to arrive off Shanghal in another week or so. Chen’s Actlon Awaited. | The public is anxious to receive word of definite progress in the nego- tiations between the Cantonese for- eign minister at Hankow, Eugene lChen, and the British charge, O'Mal- ey. Marshj;l Sun’s troops at Hangchow and Ningpo will mean a further de- lay, but the members of the govern- ment are optimistic over the prospect of an eventual agreement as to the| future status of the foreign settle- | ment at Hankow on the basis of new instructions forwarded to Mr. O'Mal- ley. Hope for an agreement is also held by the newspapers. Cabinet members are foregoing their usual week end in the country 80 a8 to be on call in London in the event of an emergency. U. 8. WOMAN TELLS OF FIGHT. BAN FRANCISCO, February 19 (#). —~—Mrs. Mae B. Hawley, Los Angeles, wife of D. B. Hawley, a pilot on the Yangtze River, who arrived on the Japanese liner Tenyo Maru, told of a six-day brush with Cantonese troops as her husband’s craft steamed down the river bearing nine mission- aries and 15 children to safety. It was necessary for the passengers to lie on the bridge of the vessel to escape the hall of bullets, she said. Two members of the crew were killed. At one point the ship was to have stopped for an inspection of her $1,- 000,000 cargo. The soldiers camou- flaged plans 1o attack the boat by the presence of thousands of children on the river bank. As the boat was about to dock these children withdrew and the machine guns started spitting bullets. Hawley ordered the craft full speed ahead and it escaped. T DRIVER IS EXONERATED. Death of Cahrles J. Peterson Is Held Accidental.
