Revenge, Jealousy, hate and unanswered love were all considered by police today In their continued search for the slayer of William Desmond Taylor motion picture direrto.r whose body was found yesteday in his apartment here. While the only meagre clue ob tained thus far pointed chiefly to the commission of the crime by a man, detectives working on the case said they believed it possible that Taylor had been killed by a woman. Their hunt has largely centered along three lines, it was said, that of the sulking figure of a man, seen around the director's apart ment, both before and after neigh bors heard the shot in the night; the whereabouts of a former ser vant arrested for alleged robbery of the director and reported to have threatened revenge; and the sender of an anonymous letter in which were enclosed pawn tickets ' for articles stolen from Taylor.

Chase of the University of North Carolina, in a letter sent to the h!gh schools in the state de clares that the Tar Baby, a Chapel Hill publication, is in no way con nected with the University , of North Carolina, and charges the editors with attempting-to convey the impression that it does. The Presidents remarks were made as a result of a letter Bent by the Editors of the Tar Baby to the High schools in the state offer isg prizes for matter printed in the High school issue of the' mag azine to he pitted soon. President Chase's letter reads: "1. 'The Tar Baby' is not a Uni versity of North Carolina publica tion. It is a private business en terprise. Mr. Abernethy has not been a student here for some itme and whatever students are assiciat ed with the publication are em ployed as private individuals bv the company, not as delegated rep- resentatives oi the student body. 'The Tar Baby' is not in any way supported, controlled, authorized by either the studey body or the faculty, or any group thereof. Some months ago a statement to that ef fect was made by us through the press, and in the columns of The Alumni Review. The authorized student publications of the Univer sity of North Carolina are "Tho Tar Heel,' 'Carolina Magazine, and "2. The Tar Baby' was instruct ed bv me on November fifth in writing to remove from its letter I 1 ' J.1 ,.. a i m neu i wie une t - university- oi are now beinsr taken to. ensure compliance with those1 Instructions. "3. The propositions made: the high schools of . the State were made without any knowledge or sanction of the Universitv authori ties, and the. University can in no way assume responsibility for their, fulfillment. "4. The character of certain of the material which has. appeared from time to time in The Tar Baby' is such as the Universitv sincerely deplores, and with which it is thoroughly unwilling . to have its name, or the name of the stu dent body associated. The Uni. versity has, as stated above, no connection with anh no control over tne puoiication, and hopes that you will give proper publicity In vour school to this fact." The Tar Baby was founded in the fall of 1919, the editors in that time intending to make it a stu dent publication. The first few is sues of the magazine received much commendation and praise, and the publishers were hia-hlv complimented for the excellent ma terial .appearing in the humorous publication. Henry Stephens of Asheville was the first editor of the magazine. At that time the magazine was published and edited by students of the University, anw was gener ally considered a University stu dent publication, and as such it be came popular throughout the State and South. Since that time the magazine has been incorporated as a private business enterprise, and the men that published it, though at one time students of the Uni versity no longer were registered in college.
