indications of improvement in the
situation with growing support of
the provisional government and grow

The resolution passed by the pan

provisional government, is regarded
as a signal defeat for extremists
and pacifists and furthering sig
nificant resolution which admits that
transfer of all power to the de

Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 6-''who killed
Grace Roberts?" il still the all absorb
ing problem Of the cafes Of Philadelphia.
The police declare that the suicide of
Bernard Wesley Lewis clears away all
the mystery.
But the police statements have not
satisfied this city. Neither have they
satisfied wenman A Lewis, the young
mans father, q wealthy coal opera or
and head of one of Pennsylvania
proudest families. The elder Lewis to-
day instructed his Philadelphia repre-
sentatives to begin at once an investiga-
b. don OF the facts concerning the murder.
Should there be found the slightest SIG
sestion that the police Of this city have
not absolute proof that Bernard Lewis
was the slayer Of Grace Roberts, the
dead mans father will prosecute an IN
vestigation that win be backed with his
entire fortune
Already the newspapers and the public
generally have begun to claim that the
police case against Lewis Is vulners ole-
It was learned today for instance, that
the telephone number Of Grace Roberts
apartments was not found in Lewis note
book.

Again. they are declaring It is hard TO
believe that Lewis could have escorted
the Misses Kye, on Sunday night, to
the Ritz Carlton twice and to St stephen
Episcopal Church wearing socks, under
wear and trousers stained with bloCL
The police report that these condemna-
tory marks were found on the garments
Lewis wore when re killed himself.

to know that Lewis visit, to the Wilton
apartments early Friday morning was
the first James Tate. chief OF the Phil
adelphia detectives, admitted today that
there is no proof that Lewis gave to
Grace Roberts the 800 diamond ring
that was missing when her body was
found.
Therefore, argue the skepties. how did
Lewis know that there was a ring to
steal granting tnat he was financially
embarrassed. And why II he did go to
Grace Roberts room to rob her die he
stop at the ring. There were other bits
Of jevelry to be had there Moreover.
the girls pocketbook was not rihed-
seemed to Have Money.
Again, to contest the allegation that
Lewis was without funds, comes Miss
Ethel Ryle's story told today:
My sister May and I had tea with
Mr.. Lewis Friday afternoon at the Ritz
Carlton" she declared. Later we went
to the theater as we had Thursday night
We had supper at the Ritz. We vent
home IN taxi
'-On Saturday afternoon he repeated
the program with my sister Mabel as his
guest On Sunday he came out to our
house and had tea with US. That even
ing he went with US to st. Stephen s
Church"
This last statement Of Miss Ryle's con-
cerntng Lewis attendance at church Sun
day night opposes the statement today
of Henry L Fox, the Morristown law
yer, that the picture Of Lewis Identifies
him as the young man who came to him
last Sunday night asking him to defend
him IL a murder charge should be made.
