Let us use our influence to have these

in the Justice court. Cases OF this
character simply take up the time Of
the recorder when he should be per-

the recorder is, ex-officio, jnstioe OF

proper chat should preface this mes
sage by an expression of thanks on
behalf Of the people of this city to re-
firing Mayor White for the splendid
work he has accomplished during his

has ever worked for the best interest
of the city. In this connection de-
sire to state that ] am mindful of the
good work done by the retiring alder
men as representatives of their respect
i've wayds. The fact that Mayor White

fit to so conscientiously perform their
duty during the past two years, be-
speaks their interest in the capitol

met with the appreciation Of those it
was their privilege to represent.

the pearls near where prominent ac-

London, Jan. Persistent reports
from Italy and Switzerland today that
Germany is to make replysto the allied
refusal of peace terms and in that re-
ply win list its demands and cOnces-
sions, aroused the greatest interest here
today.
Lugano, Switzerland, had reports Of
this nature. From Rome came news that
the newspaper Corriere Delticino assert-
ed its receipt of information that Ger
many was preparing counter reply
which would be less ambiguous as to
conditions Of peace and permitting q
firs@boint Of contact in peace pro-
gress, !"
Both Of these reports served 10
strengthen the belief recorded in dis
patches Of yesterday, that Germany is
now on the brink Of social and econ
omic breakdown and that her peace
proffers come through absolute neees-
sity One theory which found support
in certain quarters today was that the
United States Ambassador Gerard,s con-
ference with Imperial Chancellor Won
Bethmann- Hollweg, reported yesterday,
had to do with further German note.

BODY OF MURDERED
MAIZE COLBERT IS
BURIED BY FRIENDS
Silver Casket Costing $3.50
!. Provided - Detectives
Have New Clue

Philadelphia, Jan. 4.-The name Of
The man who went to Maize Colbert S
apartment last Friday morning-the
day the pretty model is supposed to
have been clubbed into insensibility
and then strangled with her own silk
stocking is known to the police today.
Detectives said today the tive fash
ionablY dressed women who were taken
to headquarters late yesterday inn
parted valuable information. They
are the ones described by Ellwood
Powell, taxi chauffeur, as having rid
den to Germantown with man in his
machine.
After the women had been left at
a street corner, Poweff said the
strange man inquired about the
direction of streets. Then he asked to
be driven to the Wilton apartments,
where the little model met her death.
Powell waited from one o'el<.k until
8 O'Clock Friday morning for his fare
but without avail. The stranger never
reappeared from the apartment.
CLAIM Al1D1 1or brewer.
Both women had been sought ever
since Powell gave the first real clue
in the murder. Their residence is in
one of the best parts of Germantown
and their attention to the "man in the
TAXI lends color to the report that he
is prominent.
tWill they arrest this man today"
the informant was asked.
"I don't know. There s still much
to be done. However, it might be pos
sible," he replied.
| The police claim an alibi for the
Western brewer, who was said to be
under guard Thursday night this
man was said to have been drinking
heavily. He was taken to a certain
house ON Fairmount avenue, said the
police, and remained there until Sat
urday morning.
seThe man in the taxi" is said to
come from the west also. Scores of
kilograms have been sent out regard
ing them, though it is believed he is
actually in this city now, where the
police can lay hands on him without
much trouble.
Hunting Missing Link,
Just what his connection with the
kerime might be, however, is a question
\ He is said to be married, with family
and a fortune estimated at $1,000,0Oo
