Menrn suanects ReIeased.

Moorestown, N. J.. Jan. 22.-There
were no new developments in the
search for the murderer Of Miss Flor
ence AlIinson, whose body was found
in the stable of a farm near here last
Thursday. Several of the negro sus-
pects. including Thomas Berry, who
were arrested Friday and Saturday
were released from custody. In the ar
rest of Berry the police thought they
had the right man, but the accused
negro's employers came forward and
proved an alibi for him. In the hunt
for the murderer the police are COM
pletely bamed because Of the inability
of the 5-year-old girl who was the only
one to see the murderer on the farm
to give an accurate description Of the
man wanted.

It is a fact, made well known by the
press, that President Roosevelt uses
phrase of greeting Of which he is very
fond. He is often delighted" to see
one and says so with great heartiness.
Last winter a man from the west who
had met the president many years be-
fore went to Washington for the pur-
pose Of laying a certain request before
the chief executive. As he sat in an
anteroom, awaiting his turn to see the
president the latter had occasion to
enter the room for a word with his
secretary. Mr.. Loeb made the usual
presentation, whereupon the president
grasped the visitors hand. said he was
delighted" and returned to his own
Office. In short time the president
reappeared and. glancing at the west
erner again, evidently recognized him
as one he had seen before, for he again
shook hands, repeating the favorlte
phrase of greeting.
This happened a third time, for the
president was extremely busy that day
and much preoccupied.
Il regret that you have to wait so
long" said the secretary after awhile.
"Oh, l don't mind in the least" was
