PHILA. POLICE SECURE NEW MURDER WITNESS No Positive Evidence That Lewis Killed Maisie 
 Colbert.

Phtlad elphia, Jan, GA missing link in the chain of circumstantial evidence formed by the police about Barnard w. Lewis, who, committed suicide in an Atlantic City hotel and who. the authorities say they are con- .vinced was the slayer of Maisie Col bert, may be supplied today when the detectives question a new witness said to have been found Despite the damaging evidence col lected against the Pittsburgher, the police so far admit they have no positive proof that Lewis knew Miss Colbert. Neither have they positive proof that he ever entered the apart ments of the girl
 This lack of convincing information on a vital point, the detectives said to- day, forces a continuance of an ele- ment of mystery in the case. Coupled to this is the lack of known motive
 The detectives say they were in- formed late last night that an automo- bile accessory dealer will produce a woman today who was with Maisie Colbert on the night preceding the murder and heard the model talk on the telephone with Lewis, who was at a hotel Miss Colbert refused to meet the man at first, but later an appoint ment was made, the police say. It was also stated that this woman can show that Lewis and the model met at an automob bile show held a year ago.
 Marie Colin, an intimate friend of Miss Colbert, told Captain of Detec- tives Tate that she never heard her speak of Lewis although she was ac- quainted with every man that had ever visited her chum before.
 Pittsburgh, Jan 6.-The body of Bernard w Lewis, who killed himself in Atlantic City after a warrant had been issued at Philadelphia, for his ar rest in connection with the murder of Maisie Colbert, reached here today and was taken to the residence of his father w. A. Lewis. Announcement was made that private funeral services would be held tomorrow afternoon and ,intermen ent made in the Lewis family plot.

FOOD CONTROL

Both the radical character of the
proposed government food control,
and especially the measures affecting
wheat and flour and the special nee
essity therefor, are set forth briefly
but succinctly, in the following from
the New York Nation:
Under the extraordinary condi-
tions in the worlds heat market to-
day our Food Administration cannot
even initiate its operations affecting
wheat and flour with halfway meas
ures. It's control must be complete
over the whole crop, and must begin
when the grain leaves the thresher
and end only when it is divided be-
tween American and European con-
sumers. To those who have thought
of the Food Administration as an
agency stabilizinng the routine oper-
alton of supply and demand, punish
ing gamblers and hoarders, and in
terfering only modestly with the ordi-
nary healthy movements of grain, the
announcement of Mr.. Hoover's plans
will be a shock. But he makes it very
clear why the government must dom
mate the situation. Our proximity tC
Europe makes our estimated export
of 225,00O 600 bushels of paramount
Importance to the Allies. That export
will be taken largely through a single
buyer for the Allied Governments
whose control over the price needs {

THE BIG POTATO CROP

Our people may well rejoice over
the showing in the governments Au-
gust crop report, of the big potato
crop. An indicated yield of white po-
tatoes nearly 30 per cent above the
average, and of sweet of over 40 per
cent above, is a triumph of food pro-
duCtiOn.
This result, assuming the crop now
comes through without rot or blight
has been accomplished by splendid
cooperation on the part of millions
Of people. The big farmers have pro
duced on their bonanza basis, with
great rolling acres titled by modern
machinery and gangs of labor But
one must not overlook the service OF
many humble people, who have raised
an infinite number of little crops il
back yards and lawns, the only
equipment after ploughing being the
old rusty hoe and a watering pot tC
spray bugs with.
Also good work has been done or

the domination of its purpose, but It
is our business to see to it that the
history Of the rest of the world is no
longer left to its handling"
The only point at issue then is the
acceptance by the German people, OF
responsibility for an honest settle
ment that will mean lasting peace
with honor and without reprisal or re-
venge.
Permanent peace must be based
upon the faith of all the peoples and
upon justice and fairness and the
common rights of mankind" he adds
"and we cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as a guar
antee of anything that is to endure
unless explicitly supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose of the German people them
selves as the other peoples of the
world would be justified in accept
ing"
On this platform, the lovers of lib
erty everywhere can stand, confident
that a peace based on moral, political
and economic justice will be made and
that it should be made for the safety
Of humanity before hostilities cease.

Thousands of public buildings have

AS potatoes are perishable, the peo-

state highway were too narrow when

as a reason why bonds should not be

had nothing to do with putting IN
these bridges, which were installed by
the state and paid for by the state.
The bridges were too narrow, it is
true, but the county board was not to
blame. It was an experiment which
should not have been made and it is
needless to say that it is one which
will not be repeated. The farmers and
the people of the several towns of the
county should, as has been suggested
