An inquest into the death of Tay lor, held at a local mortuary today, was concluded with all dramatic sud denness, much to the surprise of the crowd of morbidly curious people who had gathered to hear the tusti mony of a number of tilm stars w ido ly known to "movie fans."

The grand old game of politics in the national capital may some times doze a bit. but it never sleeps. And even in its fitful dozing it keeps one eye open and to the windward. Ever since the Republican ava lanche ot 1920 swept the Democratic administration both national . and state in the discard, things nave slumbering, politically speaking. Now. with the approach of spring. and notwithstanding that Warren G Harding haa been ia the White House less than a year, and haa threa m i ears to go. the political robins of the 1924 campaign are already be stirring themselves and chirping about i on the greensward of Capitol Hill !

The Kord contraqt, cuhmitted to' Congress by Secretary of War Week. Was seat to the House of Representa tives, and the Senate ordinarily would have to await House action before taking it under consideration. Under the Harris motioa. the Senate act at once upon the contract. "I will move that tha Senate con sider Ford's offer at once," said Har ris tonight. "Contrary to custoas. Ford's contract was sent to the House, and under the circumstances the Sea ate has nothing to act upoa- 1 wilt urge that my motion be adopted and the agricultural committee requested to investigate and report upon the contract at once." The Harris motioa will precipitate concurrent hearings on the offer ia both the Senate and House. It will reflect the sentiment of the "agricul turat bloc." which is united behind the offer. The "bloc." it was indicated, will demand early action from both sides of Congress. Cnder rules of the Senate, four committee might take the offer under consideration. These are the military affairs committee, because the offer truni- embraces army property; the appro j priatioiis committee, because an ap j propriation is necessary; the agrlcul t'.iral cewmmittee, because the contract fnl.i for manufacture of fertiliser, and the judiciary committee. Because a tedera! contract is involved. Members of the "bloc" will urge that t he nfter be referred to the agriculture ci.:im.iUee. b. ause of its extreme iru-pirtani-e to farmers. This commit tee, headed by Senator Norris (Re publican ) of Nebraska, has repeatedly gone on record favoring farm legisla tion. The.
