She refused to leave the hotel when a representative of the society called yesterday afternoon to see her.
Cook found the door of her room locked this morning. When he succeeded in opening it he found that Mrs. Taylor had died. Dr. O. H. Parker, deputy coroner, was notified. He said the woman had been dead several hours. The body was removed to Anderson & Lindey's undertaking rooms, where an autopsy will be held this afternoon.
