MCMASTERS' SLAYER
Is STILL AT LARGE
Prospects of Bringing to Justice
Assailant of Vice Consul Are
Poor, It Is Stated.

Prospects of the bringing TO justice of
the assailant of William B. McMasters.
formerly United States vice and deputy
consul at Cartagena. Colombia, who was
murdered near Cartagena last August.
are poor, according to advices reaching
Washington.
At the time OF the murder the State
Department instructed the United States
consul at Cartagena and the American
Legation at Bogota to take up the mat
ter most vigorously with the national
and local authorities. The Colombian
government promised to make a most
thorough Investigation.
Suspicion soon fixed upon one man as
the probable murderer. The representa-
tiYes of the United States government
were convinced, from evidence brought TO
their attention, that the man suspected
was indeed guilty. This man had been In
jail for another offense. and II was learn
ed by the American officials that he had
been released from prison just few
days before McMasters' murder. The
man has brought forward an alibi, how
ever. backed up by prison officials, to the
effect that he was not released from con-
nnement until a day or two after the
killing OF McMasters.
Consequently, things have come to a
standstill, and II is feared that the in
vestigation promised by the Colombian
officials will result In nothing definite or
to the United States.

Speaker Says Green Banner of Otto
man Empire Is Losing
Its Power.
BALKANS UNITED BY RELIGION

The doom OF the Ottoman empire was
prophesied in an address on "The New
Life of the Near East" made last night
at the Church OF the Covenant, by WILL
lam T. Ellis, of Philadelphia, traveller,
lecturer, and writer. and the undermine
ing OF the power of Turkey was laid prin-
cipaIly TO the influence of America.
'.The sword Of Islam has been un-
sheather only for the world TO see that
the blade has rusted away and that only
the ornamental handle is left" said Mr..
Ellis. and the green flag of Turkey be-
fore which Europe has covered for CEN
turtles in terror to-day has less power
than the green flag of Ireland"
The speaker said that through the
teachings of the many American schools,
dents enrolled, a new spirit has grown
up in the near East that demands
before everything the rights of the
masses. justice. and liberty.
Religion Binding Cord.
Blood has been said to be thicker
than water" he said, but in the case
of the Balkans it has been shown that
blood is not as thick as the waters of
baptism. The common Christian faith
