FILM DIRECTOR MURDERED LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2.—William Desmond Taylor, 50, prominent motion picture director and wealthy Englishman, was shot and killed by a mysterious gunman who entered his home at 404-B South Alvarado street during the night as the noted director was seated at his writing desk, according to the police. ARBUCKLE JURORS YET DELIBERATING SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.—Both the state and the defense in the Roscoe Arbuckle manslaughter trial professed hope of a verdict from the jury today. Followers of the case were said to have been betting odds of 5 to 3 that there would be another "hung jury." The jury, which has been out since late yesterday, was stirring around early today, ready for breakfast. Remption of formal deliberation was gun today, but no verdict was reached on the early bailots. Henry Ottenberg, an alternate juror, who was discharged when the 12 original jurors retired, expressed the belief that the count was 10 to 2 for acquittal. This seemed to be the prevailing belief, although Assistant District Attorney Leo Friedman was inclined to believe the division was more equal. Twice the jury has come to the courtroom from the jury room. The first time the testimony of Josephine Keza, hotel chambermaid, was read to them. The second time they asked Judge Louderback to re-read his entire instructions. Attorneys said this was the first time their knowledge a jury had ever asked for the court's full instructions to be re-given: The body of Taylor was found shortly after 8 a.m. by Henry Poavey, a colored servant employed by Taylor, when he arrived at the picturesque bungalow. Police detectives who first were sent to the place to investigate reported that Taylor had died of natural causes, presumably of a hemorrhage, and considerable time elapsed before they discovered there was a bullet wound in his back, beneath the left shoulder. Neighbors then reported they had heard a pistol shot about 9 p.m. last evening, but thought nothing of it at the time. Detectives immediately began a search for F. Sands, a former secretary and servant, who was reported to have robbed Taylor's place and for whom felony warrants were issued after the alleged robbery some time ago. Robbory evidently was not the motive of the slayer; for the police found $78 in the pockets of Taylor, and the bungalow in which he resided had not been ransacked. Taylor was last seen alive last night about 8 p.m., according to the police. The neighbors who heard the shot believed it was the back-fire of an automobile and they observed nothing in the bungalow court in which the Taylor residence is situated that would lead them to believe there had been an unusual oc- prevailing belief, although Assistant District Attorney Leo Friedman was inclined to believe the division was more equal.

THE THERMOMETER Minimum 37½ at 5 a.m. Maximum 56 at 2 p.m. ROBBY evidently was not the motive of the slayer, for the police found $78 in the pockets of Taylor, and the bungalow in which he resided had not been ransacked. Taylor was last seen alive last night about 8 p.m., according to the police. The neighbors who heard the shot believed it was the back-fire of an automobile and they observed nothing in the bungalow court in which the Taylor residence is situated that would lead them to believe there had been an unusual occurrence. The slayer evidently entered the house and shot Taylor as he was working on his check book. The moving picture director dropped to the floor and death was caused by an internal hemorrhage. Taylor's revolver was found in a drawer of the dresser in his bedroom on the second floor of the pretentious house. It had not been discharged and none of his personal effects had been disturbed.

Particular care has been taken to work Ground Hog Saw His Shadow This Morning Don't take 'em off, for His Majesty, the Ground Hog, saw his shadow this morning when he came out of his den at ten o'clock to take a slant at the weather, then scurried back to remain six weeks longer. This annual event in the life of a groundhog is an infallible (?) indication of what to expect of the weather during the next six weeks. Had the day been gloomy, the timid little rascal could not have seen his shadow, then he would have known spring was very near and remained out. But as the day was beautifully bright and his shadow decidedly plain, he will remain in his nest in the ground for another six weeks, knowing winter weather will prevail. So, don't take 'em off! 28 MINERS KILLED IN EXPLOSION BROWNSVILLE, Pa., Feb. 2. Twenty-eight men possibly more CROWN STAGE CO.

GUATEMALA QUITS UNION NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2.—Guatemala has withdrawn from the Central American Union, according to advises received by the new Consul General at this port, Dr. Jose Lima, Jr., from Guatemala City. OFEER 5c FOR ORANGES That local fruit men knew what they were talking about when they predicted that the recent cold weather, which hit certain other citrus districts with disastrous effect, would mean a big boost in local prices, is proving correct. According to numerous reports today, independent cash buyers are offering five cents a pound for Valencias on the tree. A year ago this time they were offering about 1½ cents. Later, the price was boosted considerably. Chas. Eygabroad, Anaheim director of the Cal. Fruit Growers' Exchange, asserted today he would not contract to sell his fruit at five cents. "At yesterday's meeting of Exchange directors," says Eygabroad, there was nothing in the reports from over the state that lessen last week's estimates of loss. Rather they were worse, if anything, particularly lemons. Oranges are about a 50 pct. loss which means big prices in the Anaheim district where there was negligible loss. ATTEMPT TO ENTER DOCTOR'S OFFICE An attempt was made to enter the office of Dr. J. C. Osher of the Central Building at noon today while the doctor was away, it was reported to the local police. Investigation showed that a chisel had been driven four times between the door and the door facing in an attempt to force an entrance. It is probable that the would-be burglar was frightened away.
