"You may put it down for a cer- tainty that the monarchy is going to be restored in Germany, and I can tell you that the Gefmans and Rus asians are working together.

Paris, Feb, 8 --There is a bare chance that the Gambais affair may not yet be concluded, As Henri De- sire Landru languished in his cell, {attired in the gray of prisoners awaiting the guillotine, destitute of hope, his attorney; M. De Moro Glaf- fer, received a letter from one of the condemmed man's nelzhbors which might give a dramatic turn to the famous "'Bluebeard" case. In fact, after his lawyers had consulted with Landru, the prisoner's spirit re- vived, end he consented to sign a petition for reprieve, though hither- to he had refused to take that step. The letter, signed by Hector Vig- oureux a resident of Gambais, where is situated the villa in which Landru is alleged to have committed most of his 11 murders, said that three days after Landru's arrest, while the writ- er was returning home about mid- night, he saw a light In a small building beside the church where bones from some ancient graves are stored, Mystified, Vigoureux ap- proached and recognized a haif-wit of the town who was carefully select- ing bits of bone and placing them in a basket, Later the writer saw the man leave the building and climb a wall around the gardem of Lan- dru's home, according to the letter. The writer advances the belief that this was the source of fragments of human bone found and produced at the trial. The letter has been for- warded by Landru"s lawyers 'to the minister of justice, as a first step in the effort to get a new trial. Today Lendru, for the first time in a month, tried on his jailers that wit which made his demeanor at the trial brilliant at times. "The guillotine of Deibler," said he, "is for me like a good razor, It comes very close, but does not cut me."

He says: "The premier will be quite glad If no unforseen troubles arise and will bring the session to an end in the hope of securing, for the next gov- ernment he aesires to lead, a moras homogeneous, if smaller, majori'y. On the other hand, the writer fore- sees the possibility "hat the house of commons will prolong the session un- til the time for introduction of the budget, and intimates that India, Egypt and other questions of foreign palicy, such as the Cannes supreme council meeting and its off-spring, the 1 "oposed economic conference at members will put searching ques- tions to the government. {MUST NOT EMPLOY ' WHITE WAITRESSES Sudbury Council Gives Drastic .

He sald: "There is np question bu' that the law is losing the respect of the people every day because of tae methods used for its enforcement.

TAYLOR WAS IN LOVE According to His Houseman But Mabel Was Tired of Him. ' Los Angeles, Calit., Feb. 8.---One {of the tamgles in the Hollywood | skein, police say, concerns one of the widely known actresses and a man sald to be enamored of her. This actress, they say, was frank in ex« pressing admiration for W. D, Tay- lor, and it is known that he saw much of her. Here, police say, is one of the possible leads to the "Jeal- ousy"" theory, They say, however, that, while extremely anxious to question the man, they believed it a most delicate matter, owing to the resources and friends that he has. Police are looking for the woman's pink silk nightgown, it was declared by Captain of Detectives David L. Adams, "We have never seen 4t," he sald, "We have had a lot of reports about it, and, 4f it existed, it has disap- | peared. We have had' no definite re- ports that it belonged to any actress or woman. We do mot know that it had any initial upon i, or other marks of identification, but we are going to look for it today." "Mr. Taylor loved Mabel Norms and, but I do not believe that she re- 'turned his love to any great extent," Harry Peavey, houseman of Taylor, ig reported to have told representa~ tives of the Los Angles Times. "I was Mr. Taylor's house for almost six months and 'I know that Mr, Taylor was very much in Jove with Miss Normand. At: times I thought that she returned his love and then again it seemed to me that she was tired of . "Miss Normand was with Mr. Taye lor the last time I saw him alive. My master asked me to mix up some cocktails and I did. I placed the li~ quor in the shaker on a tray with two glasses, and Mr. Taylor and Miss Normand were drinking when I left for the evening. They both said good night to me and 1 left "ue house, When I next saw Mr. Taylor, the next morning, he was dead om the floor of his living room."
