Henry’ Peavey, Taylor's Negro valet-cook, in a new statement, has told how Taylor sent telegrams each night to’ one of the several film attresses who were his best friends, when she was away from Lap An- welea, “You can't tell me Mr. Taylor was net in love with this lady,”” Peavey said. “Why, I've seen him sit down to read, then get up, take her photo- * graph and set it in front of him and stare at it for a long time. When she was in the Hast I used to take to the office every night a telegram for her. “One night I saw her take her pic- tures from the wall in Mr. Taylor's house and begin cutting them up with the scissors. Mr. Taylor said, ‘What's the idea? She replied, ‘I guess I cap cut up‘my own pictures if I want to.” Once I saw him take her in his arms and she put her arms around him and they kissed each other.” ‘The police*have received from the Detroit police news of the arrest there of four men, one of whom claims on of the others killed Taylor. This man, known here under the alias of Harry the Chink, is a drug user. The Los Angeles police have not ascer- tained if the man he says killed Tay- jor also is a drug addict. + Telegraphic advices also state that & man suspected of being Edward F.

In ten more days the eleventh an- nual exhibition of the Brooklyn Motor Vehicle Dealers’ Association will be In full swing. As in former years, the show will be he] In the 284 Regiment Armory. It ts to open on Saturday, March 4, and last over Saturday, March 11. As usual, it will be open both afternoons and evenings. During the past week the Show Committee made its final arrange- ments for the decorating of the big drill hall. Never before in the his- tory of the organization has so much money been spent to furnish a perfect background for the cars. It is only right that this year's ex- hibition should be staged in an excep- tional setting. It promises to be tho best und most interesting ever seen in the borough. With only passenger cars and accessories, the show should make an unusual appeal to the gen- eral public. The number of passenger cars and accessory exhibits will far surpass those seen at any other show ever given in the borough and will :n- clude many never before seen here. Indications point to car value at the show this year giving the pro- spective purchaser more for his money than he has ever received before. The motor car now being shown is a fin- ished product. It is a necessity in daily life, and the business men, the |= professional man and the general pub- VETERAN FIREMEN OF KINGS PARADE Brooklyn Volunteers, One Thousand Strong, March in Annual Review.

Broadly speaking, there are two classes of visitors at a motor car show. There are those who are inter- ested chiefly in motor design and me- chanical construction, and those to whom the body design and comfort in fittings appear the chief Issue. Not only women visitors but many men as well take it for granted that the mechanism of the modern car has been brought 80 close to perfection that they need not worry as to a car's ability to run successfully and display qualities of enduratice. Improvements in bodies to be seen at the show Indicate that the refine- ments for 1922 are chiefly comfort re- finements. This means that the in- closed type finds greater popularity than ever before. Better and neater fittings, more leg room, paint and enamel for which greater durability ts claimed are some of the features noted. Still more cars are hung low this season, following the trend of 1921. This form of construction eliminates side sway and much unnecessary vi- bration. It will be noticed that bodies have larger windows than in previous seasons and to a degree which makes vision practically as free and‘ unob- structed as with an open car. ciamdanuiandlgaiic STEINMETZ HAS NEW ELECTRIC TRUCK Electrical Wizard Produces Some- thing New in the Truck Line. : Charles P.
