Lewis Talked About
Killing Himself Long
Before Model Slain

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 8.--District
Attorney Samuel p. Rotan, who Sat-
urday expressed the belief that Maize
Colbert, the advertising art model,
was killed by Bernard w. Lewis Of
Pittsburgh, Pa, who committed sui
eide at Atlantic City as detectives
were about to arrest him. today sum-
moned many persons whose names
have been linked with the case in the
hope of definitely establishing the
identity of the murderer and the ma
ture of the motive.
Included among those summoned
were Captain of Detectives Tate and
virtually all the men under him that
have been working on the case. 9th
erS included relatives of the dead
girl, police magistrate who is said
to have been acquainted with Miss
Colbert and several wealthy young
men known to have been friendly
with her.
Letters alleged to have been writ
ten by Lewis in the middle Of De-
cembcr, last, to relatives and friends
in Pittsburgh that he was about to
commit suicide because he had made
a failure of life, raised a doubt in the
minds OF some that Lewis may have
had any connection with the case.

ELIGIBILITY ONLY
TEST FOR PLAYER
Any Other Restrictions Held by
National Commission to
Be Null and Void.
MUSCATINE THE OFFENDER

Cincinnati O., Jan. 8.-The Ma
tional Base Ball commission today
held that the only tests that should
be applied in the engagement of a
minor league ball player, upon his
willingness to play for a salary within
the prescribed limit of the club desir-
ing his service, should be his eligi-
bility to contract Any other restric-
tions imposed by league legislation
are held arbitrary and subversive Of
the national agreement rights of the
player, and therefore are null and
void.
In announcing the ruling the COM
mission says:
"The National associations officials
and members will be held to strict &C
count by the commission if this rul-
ing is not respected and enforced"
The ruling was rendered as re-
suit of the resolutions adopted by the
National board at New Orleans recit-
ing that the Muscatine club of the
Central Association had subscribed to
and voted for rule prohibiting the
employment of more than FIVE veteran
players on its team. On this resolu-
ton the National board said that the
Muscatine club had subscribed to it in
1915, but had resisted its enforcement
in 1916 and concluded the resolution
as follows:
Resolved that it is the sense of this
board that Manager Egan of the Mus,
catine club has appeared before the
courts of base ball with unclean
hands, and be it further resolved that
this board further declines to place
its stamp of approval on the winning
of pennants by such unfair and I'm
sportsmanlike methods"
The commission in its ruling today
says that at the close of last season,
when the Muscatine club complained
to the commission that its league re-
fused to count some of its victories in
the official standing because of its al
legged violation of the veteran players
rule, the commission formally notified
President Justice of the Central As
ISOLATION that such legislation was null
and void.
