port says hundreds Of vice resorts were
put out of business during the last year.
The vice ring, in the old sense Of the
word, no longer exists in this city" says
the report. THE former promoters OF
commercialized vice seem to have come
to the conclusion that the banner years
OF their prosperity will never return. II
is known fact that seventy-five former
men owners and their agents have left
the city with their women for more open
markets"
Vice still exists, 1t is admitted. Police
activities have resulted in the closing of
all the twenty-three ''parlor houses"
which investigators for the bureau dis
covered in operation at the end of 1915.
A number of hotels and a large number
Of rooming houses are havens Of those

'MODEL'MURDER
CASE RE0PENED
! Police Admit Bernard Lewis
Guilt" Has Not Been
Proved.

my tne INTERNATIONAL NEWS Scryfcc.b
Philadelphia, Jan. THE police of
Philadelphia have been forced to reopen
the Grace Roberts murder case.
Despite Detective Capt Tate and Dis
yesterday that there was no remaining
doubt and that the suicide of Bernard
Wesley Lewis was tantamount to his
confession OF guilt, public opinion and
irrepressible facts have forced them to
admit that the case against Lewis is not
absolute.
Lewis letter to his friend James s. Nc
Fadyan forecasting his suicide ripped the
police theory OF Lewis suicide to pieces
Capt. Tate declared:
Yes, we are at work again on the
murder. I have nothing whatever to say
about the McFadyan letter. I will have
an important conference with District
Attorney Rotan tomorrow. He will have
to do the talking. l am ready to admit
that there was no motive established and
that there remains plenty Of mystery
We shall go on working indefinitely, 1
guess"
Two persons were found today who
take Issue with the police regarding the
condition Of Lewis hands after the time
liked by the police and the hour of the
killing
There Is tonight series Of disturbing
rumors, so potent that, for the first time
in many months, the detective bureau Is
as busy on Sunday as 'on any other day.
Rumor has It that before Lewis wrote
the McFayden letter-presumably about
December 10 or 12-he wrote to either his
father or his wife tmploring them to re-
lent in their coldness toward him. In this
letter the rumor contends Lewis declared
that he would rather be dead than an
outcast and that he would kill himself
rather than suffer their displeasure
longer.
