II the wearer had carried the woman.
There 10 other evidence to bear out
the theory that the woman was as
saulted, Capt. Tate said.
I'm not 20 certain there was . des-
perate tight preceding the murder" the
captain said. 1T II evident, In any
event, that the fight did not last long.
because the janitor's wife and persons
living directly opposite her apartment
heard no noise"
One Of the theories discounted by the
police was that the murder may have
been the result Of an attempt to black
mail one Of Miss Colbert's admirers.
Unraveling Maze Of Clues.
Three days after tho body Of Miss
Colbert was found the police were stiii
trying to unravel q maze OF the ciue1
and, apparently. were as far from So
luton of the mystery as they were
when the crime was discovered.
Capt. Tate believes the slayer to nave
been a negro. DR.. Charles F. Bricker;;
a police surgeon. and the first medical
man to see the body. disagrees WIN
this theory. The psysician CONTENDS
that two persons might nave oeen N
the room, because there was no blood
couid not have carried the body with
out getting blood on the garments.
dozen persons, including a wealthy
manufacturer and young onlverslty
man, have been questioned by detec-
tives. and the police have IN their pos
that many men we'll known in this city
were admirers of Miss Colbert.
A man Of wealth and social standing
is said to be under surveillance IN
downtown hotel in connection with the
case. and search is being made Tor the
chauffeur of an Independent taxicab
who is reported to have taken prom
inent clubman regularly to the young
woman's apartment. The last known
visit, it is said, was made last Thurs
day night.
New Facts in Woman's Life.
New facts bearing ON the life of
Miss Colbert were revealed to the
police by a city employe who said he
knew the girl and her family.
Miss Colbert was infatuated with a
University of Pennsylvania graduate
and former foot ball player. but they
had been estranged for several months,
the authorities say sthe municipal en-
ploye told them Several weeks ago
the man, who lives at Cynwyd. g. sub
urb, sought a reconciliation and ar
ranged for dinner party with the
cordine to the detectives informant.
one theory of the police is that an
other of Miss Colbert's admirers learned
of the reconciliation and began 5eal-
GUS quarrel that ended with the girls
death.
The police tried to locate the young
Cynwyd man, but did not succeed. To
show the depth Of the girls infatuation
for him the city employe Is said to have
related an alleged incident In which
Miss Colbert in q Jealous rage attacked
the young man at a hotel ball because
she had not been invited and because
he was dancing with other women.
The authorities are now convinced
that a wealthy clubman from another
city, who had been under suspicion. is

BRITISH VICTORIES DENIED.
Turks Claim to Have Had Advan
tage in Fighting Near Suez.

BERLIN. January 3, by wireless to
Sayvil1e, N. Y.-The official Turkish
communication Of January 1. dealing
with recent official British reports of
victories over the Turks on the
Egyptian front east Of the Suez canal,
says:
THE British have spread reports
about great victories near Ell Arish and
Magdabah, exaggerating the number
of prisoners and the amount Of booty.
Ell Arish was evacuated by US volun-
tarily and without a combat. Near
Magdabah an engagement took place
The real Importance of the British
success is evident from the fact that
the British already have Evacuated
Magdabah and retreated to Ell Arish."

HIGH COST Of LIVING
Public Health Service Warns
Against Unbalanced Diet Due to
Prices Of Foods.

The high cost Of living when It means
. poor living has developed q new
menace to health. By unbalancing diet
the high prices Of food are likely to
lead to greater prevalence Of pellagra
during tho coming year. This is tho
fear expressed by tho public health
service.
'Tt il feared" says q bulletin Of the
service Just issued. that pellagra may
increase in 1917 by reason Of an in
crease in food cost out Of proportion
to the prosperity now enjoyed by this
country. The great rise in the cost
of forage is causing the people in
many localities to sell their COWS, and
thus there is danger that they will
deprive themselves Of milk. one of
the most valuable pellagra preventing
foods.
Should Balance Diet.
'The high cost Of living has further
served to bring about q reduction in
many families IN tho amount Of meat.
eggs, beans and peas consumed. all of
which are pell4gra prophylaotics.
TN effecting economies tho general
public should bear in mind the i'm
portance Of a properly balanced Diet
Further powers to obtain informa-
ton may be sought Of Congress by
the federal authorities directing the
investigation into the cost Of living
Attorney General Gregory is consider
ing the matter, but no decision has
yet been announced.
Confer on Food Problem.
It also became known today that, in
addition to the conference in New York
last week of United States district at
torneys from neighboring states, sew
eral groups of district attorneys In
the middle west have conferred secret
ly on the food problem.

THINKS DEGENERATE.
SLAYER OF MODEL
Capt. Tate Believes Negro
Murdered Maize A. Colbert,
or Grace Roberts.
BY MAZE OF CLUES

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, January 3.-De-
tectives assigned to unravel the tan
gle of clues that have BIZ en- advanced in
the effort to find out who murdered
Maizie A. Colbert (Grace Roberts) in
her apartment here last week, were
busy today examining many men who
were acquainted with the young wo-
man.
Despite statements Of the captain of
the city detectives that in his belief the
former manicurist was beaten and
strangled by a degenerate, there are
persistent unconf1rmed reports that
wealthy young man from upstate has
not yet been entirely cleared of sus-
picion of knowing something about the
murder. Capt. of Detectives Tate, how
ever, said the young man in question Is
not wanted by the police. and that he
has cleared himself to the satisfaction
of the detectives. Capt. Tate said the
man, who was an admirer OF Miss Col
bert cd was generous with presents
of jeU,o.sy and money, gave satisiac.

Asked if an arrest was imminent IN the
case, Capt Tate said that If the police

person whose name has been linked in
any way with that of the woman.
Thinks Degenerate Slayer.
Questioned regarding his theory
that a degenerate had killed Miss Col
bert, Capt. Tate answered. that
theory still looks like the best Of all"
Capt. Tate said the woman had been
hit on the head, apparently. as she tried
to raise a window in her living room
to shout for help. The window still
is stained with blood.
The mans shirt found in the bedroom
was blood-soaked on the right side, as
