The Banks will follow the old prac tice until the next race meeting. Mr. J. R. George, Manager of the Char: tered Bank, Singapore, explained that the banking community were un- able to fall into line as quickly as the others but nevertheless intended

to do so na quicky as

as possible:

Members of the Chamber of Com- merce Rubber Association were in- formed this week that the replies received in response to an enquiry as to whether they were in favour or not of closing the market on the after noons of mid-week race days showed that the majority were against clos- ing. The rubber market would therefore remain open in future.

Presumably, the only people who do and will not favour this change are the employees!

OLD TRAGEDY.

Los Angeles police have arrest- ed an expert accountant, Russi Rinaldo In connexion with the death of Mr. William Desmond Taylor, the English flm director, in 1922.

Rinaldo is formerly- charged with "suspicion of murder."

. Mr. Taylor was found shot dead in his beautiful Los Angeles apartment an hour after "he had received a visit from the late Miss Mabel Normand; the film comedienne.

Miss Normand could throw no light on the crime.

Rinaldo is alleged to have con- fessed that he accidentally 'fired the shot which killed the director;

sceptical of his story.

Before the shooting (according to the alleged "confession") there had been a quarrel between Mr. Taylor and a well-known moving picture "star" at the director's home.

Rinaldo has stated that he followed a famous film “star,” with whom he was friendly, to Mr. Taylor's home on the night of the murder.

While standing outside the apartment he heard an alterca- tion proceeding between the' nct- Tesa and the director.

Later he entered. the apartment and remonstrated with Mr. Taylor, who, eccording to Rinaldo, drew

a gun.

A scuffle followed between the: two men for the possession of the weapon, during which the

director was killed.
