With the noted director's death told in sensational headlines, Mary Miles Minter and the late Mabel Normand, then screen stars, were questioned concerning their relations with the victim. The macabre puzzle never was solved. Officials inclined to the belief that Sands, wanted for questioning, was really the director's brother, 'Taylor's real name was William Cunningham Deane-Tanner, and that of Sands, authorities, said was Dennis Deane-Tannetr, Of the many theories investigators considered, one which they adhered to most strongly was that Taylor was shot to death in a blackmail plot.

COMMITTEE OF SENATE ARCUES OVER TAX PLAN Subject May Eventually Appear on Floor of Upper House- House Is in Recess } WASHINGTON, May 15 (P-Around a table stacked with a formidable ar- ray of tex \compromises\ the Senate Finance Committee labored on today in an attempt to reach some agree- ment. Chairman Harrison (D., Miss.), con- ceded the committee might not suc- ceed and that the whole bewildering subject might have to be fought out 'on the Senate floor. Administration leaders in the Sen- ate had abandoned President ivoose- velt's suggestion to repeal all exist- ing corporate faxes, They concen- trated on a battle to save what they term the philosophy of his program to lay a graduated tax on undistribut- ed corporation earnings. On the existing fiat taxes on net corporation income, the President's lieutenants hoped to superimpose a surtax applied against undistributed profits. This compromise, however, faced opposition, and its fate was considered uncertain. Another committee-the Senate Ap- propriations sub-committee-also was busy. It called Secretary Ickes, PWA chief, to testify. Legislators support- ing PWA are seeking to add $700,000,- 000 for public works to a relief and deficiency appropriation which the sub-committee is now considering, Rexford G. Tugwell, the resettle- ment administrator, told the sub- committee yesterday that his group would \fold up\ unless provided with more funds by July 1. With little of moment to debate at present, the House was in fetess, while the Senate considered. a park de- Ivelopment bill. Other Washington developments: Communications officials said that while television is nearing practical use froma technical standpoint, ithas run into a maze of difficulk \economic problems.\ They mentioned the high 'cost of putting on elaborate television programs. . The government was awaiting of- ficial reports on the refusal of Hal- sted L. Ritter, removed as a federal judge in a Senate impeachment trial, to vacate his office in Miami. He plans to attack the Senate verdict as un- constitutional. Members of the Senate Foreign Af- fairs Committee expected the naval treaty signed recently by the United States, France and Great Britain -would be approved by the committee soon.
