QUESTION MISS NORMAND
The District Attorney : is Firm
in His Belief That the Miss

is the Important Person in
the Case and Frantic Search

Los Angeles, Feb. 11. Along what
' lines the investigation into the death
: of Win. Desmond Taylor would pro
ceed today was not divulged by Thos.
Lee Wolwine district attorney, but
he said it would be continued.
U The 4 district attorney declined to

.. all workable clues. This followed
closely on a nignt session at his ol

en to a questioning of Mabel Nor
mand the film actress one of the last
persons to see Taylor alive.
Miss Normand according to Mr.
"Wolwine was unable to add anything
to the police data, but apparently
confirmed the district attorney's be
lief in the importance for locating
Sands for he later said, "Sands is the
man we must find.' ,

FEDERAL RESERVE
Says Ignorance as - Well as
Prejudice is Responsible for
Attacks ' on Reserve Banks.
Richmond, . Va.,Feb. 11. Thos.
B. McAdams, president of the Ameri
can Bankers Association , . made a
vigorous defense of the federal re
serve system in an address at a ban
quet of the Richmond chapter of the
American Institute of Banking last
'night.
It was contended by Mc. McAdams
J that ignorance as well as prejudice is
largely responsible for the attacks
that have been made against the
federal reserve system. Senators he
i said stood on the floor of Congress
and made statements that were un
, true,- not maliciously but because
. "they don't know what they are talk
, ing about."
- But- for, the reserve system the
j country would have been plunged. in
- the worst panic, the world has ever
. known, Mr. McAdams said, but as
it is the system has been the salva-
:-tion of business, making possible the
rejuvenation of business after a
trying depression. .

FRANCE INSISTS

OF THE LEAGUE

The United States Was Ready

Because of Lack of

(Copyright 1 92 2 by The Daily .
Times.)
...'Washington, Feb. 10. Premier
Poincare of France has again upset
all calculations as to when a get
together conference can be held be
tween America and Europe.
'The latest note from the French
government addressed to the United
States and other powers opens up
some old controversies and makes it
necessary for the Washington govern
ment to modify the reply which was
expected to go forward today explain
ingwhy this government feels it in
advisable for the present to accept
or reject the invitation to participate
in the world economic conference at
Genoa.
' Premier Poincare revives the
league of nations fight by insisting

Genoa comerence to miringe in any
way on the province of the league of
nations either with respect to repar-
atlons or any otner measures for the
has for the last two years at least
taken over many of the functions of
the 'league particularly in the' matter
of reparations. This Council has been
abolished for the time being by
France.
Everybody here .knows that the
French premier is not so fond of the
league of nations itself as he is the
enforcement, clauses of the Versailles
treaty which are bestowed upon the
league of nations to carry out. To
abandon the league means ' to aban
don the tight legal hold which France
has over Germany for the next gen
eration.
! Until the note came from Premier
Poincare, the United States govern
ment was basing its refusal to par
ticipate on a lack of precise informa
tion as to the scope of the .-. confer
ence. For -one thing, the American
government wanted to know more
about the intention of the powers to
ward the Russian Soviets. The Brit
ish government is ready to accept the
promises of a reformed -bolshevik
government while the Department of
State here . insists that the changes
must be acomplished facts before
commercial' or political relations
should be resumed.
But Russia would not be an ob-
stacle to American participation in
the Genoa conference if everything
else were smoothed out. Unless the
powers of Europe, are ready to dis
cuss reparations, the officials of the
American government see no prac
tical advantage to the conference. All
discussion" of reducing the allied war
debt to the United States is regarded
as futile, if the debts of Germany to
the Allies, are not to be considered.
The situation fti drifting for ' the
moment, from' close coperation . with
Europe which it had . been hoped
would be' a direct consequence of the
Arms conference to : one ot isolation
for France and for the United States
respectively." The British are in a
middle position anxious to bring
about another conference if there is
any way possible to compromise the
opposite viewpoint, of the United
States and France.. The Washington
administration favors the conference
idea and would go to Genoa in a min
ute if "the. program were limited and
if all thej powers , agreed to look at
the situation from a practical .)tew"
point. The will to agree Is not yet
apparent and the spirit of the French)
