MOVIE DIRECTOR KILLED
Mystery Surrounds Death ef William
D. Taylor at Hollywood, Calif.
Shot On Bntorlsg His Home,
the distinction of being the nearest octor of moving pictures, wan shot nt
railroad point to the irrigation dam
over the Wichita river, and this little
town has had to put on n hasty growth
in order to taku care of the uereased
business that is coming its way.
In spite of the amount of prepara-
tion which la going on, there is not
much to report definitely. Mabelie
is a busy place, but most everybody
is attending to his own business and
a fellow cannot find out much.
In order to take care of the larg<
amount of shipping which is coming
in the Wichita Valley is putting in u
double truck for a distance of about
a mile. In fact, three tracks are going
in for most of this distance. There
are a lot of tents on the right of way,
and Manager W. B. Murphy of the
Huskoll Telephone Company thought
they might put in still another track,
so he has moved the long distance tel-
ephone line across the road. He has
received notice to move the line at
Dundee. Things are picking up at
that place, also. It is near where the
diversion dam und the canals will be
built.
A car of railroad officials were at
Mabele yesterday looking over the sit-
uation. A steam shovel has ber-n at
work on a cut near Mabelie, widening
it out and balasting the road with the
dirt taken out.
Temporary buildings and tents are
going up at the new industrial center.
A crew is at work dragging down tho
hills on the road out to the dam. Thix
road will eventually bo put in fine
shafs1. Material is arriving for the
construction of a bridge over the With
ita river just below the dam.
Many are wanting to know when
actual construction work will begin,
but nobody can tell exactly. The Puget
Hound Bridge and Dredging Company
will establish offices in the next few
weeks.
Mr. R. b, Cotton has the contract
for removing wood from the land that
will be submerged, lie lias an ad in
this issue of the Banner concerning
that wood.
A number of new business concerns
will go in nt Mabelie within the next
few weeks.

nesdny night of last week by an un-
known assailant. No motive for the
crime has been discovered, and onl£
the merest suspicion as to the guilty
party.
Taylor was a very popular tnan in
tho movie world, and he had been
with a number of the best stars In the
directing of pictures. Mary Bickford,
Mary Miles Mlnter and Mabel Nor-‘
mand were among his warm personal
friends, and a letter had come to light
which proved without equivocation that
Mary Miles Minter was completely in
love with him. He and Mabel Nor*
mand had been working on a plteure
tho night of his death and he bad told
her goodnight at her ear and went
back to his upartments when the fatal
shot was fired. The gun that killed
him was close up. .
Mr. Thomas Aytss of Mogargel was
here on business this week.

ARMS CONFERENCE OVER
Far Reaching Results Come From the
Meeting in Washington. Treaty
Signed by Nine Powers.
The A mm Conference has adjourned
at Washington, after the accomplish-
ment of very definite results. If nil
the powers accept the treaty made by
their representatives, it is going to go
u Jong way toward the ayoidanee of
war and the expense of preparation.
As soon as the treaties are signed the
work on a number of new battleships
will be discontinued.
Six completed treaties, two others
agreed to in substance, fourteen reso-
lutions and ten declarations of nation-
al policy, have resulted from the Con-
ference.
By the major agreements the pow-
ers place a limitation on their naval
armament, abjure submarine warfare
against eommeree, bar the use of poison
gas, give China a new bill of rights,
and set up a new international con
cord to preserve peace in tho Pacific.
The nations that signed these obiiga
tions are: The United States, Belgium
Great, Britain, France, Italy, Japan,
The Netherlands, China and Portugal.
The Conference caused to be dissol-
ved the Japancse-Anglo Alliance. It
removed to great remoteness the pos-
sibility of war •between the United
States and Japan. It caused a better
understanding by nations taking part
in it, and will open the way for still
further meetings of like moment.
