MEN acquaintance OF
ART MODEL ARE QUIzZED
Philadelphia Police Run Down
Many Clues to Murder of
Maizie Colbert
(By Associated Press.)

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-Detectives
assigned to unraveI tangle of clues in
the effort TO find out who killed Maize
A. Colbert in her apartment here last
week were busy today examining many
men acquaintance of the young
woman.
DESPITE the statements of the captain
Of detectives that he believed the former
manicurist was beaten and strangled by
a degenerate, there were persistent re-
ports that a wealthy young man from
up state had not yet been entirely
cleared Of knowing something about the
murder.
Captain of Detectives Tate, however
says the young man has cleared himself
to the satisfaction of the detectives.
Captain Tate said the man, who was
an admirer of Miss Colbert and was
generous with presents of jewelry and
money, gave a satisfactory account of
his whereabouts last Friday, the day
the murder is believed to have been
committed.
Asked if an arrest was imminent,
Captain Tate said that if the police
started to arrest men who were ac-
quainted with Miss Colbert merely be-
cause they knew her, they would have
to arrest a great many persons.
I'VE have already questioned some
prominent young men," Captain Tate
said, land are not through by any
means. We are quizzing every person
whose name has been linked in any
way with that of the woman"
Questioned regarding his theory that
a degenerate had killed Miss Colbert,
Captain Tate said. THAT theory still
looks like the best of ALL
Captain 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
sill is stained with blood.
The mans shirt found in the bed
room was blood soaked on the right
side, as if the wea rer had carried the
woman. There is other evidence to
bear out the theory that the woman was
assaulted, Captain Tate said.
Pm not so certain there was a des-
perate fight preceding the murder" the
captain said. 1T is 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"
The police denied reports that the
murdef may have been the result of an
attempt to blackmail one of Miss Col
bert's admirers.

N0TE-Nuxated Iron which is prescribed and
recommended above by physicians in such a
great variety of cases is not a patent medicine
nor secret remedy, but one which is well known
to druggists and whose iron constituents
widely prescribed by eminent physicians every
where. Unlike the older inorganic iron products,
it is easily assimilated, does not injure the
teeth, make them black upset the stomach;
on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy in
nearly all forms of indigestion, well for
nervous rundown conditions. The manufacturers
have such great confidence in Nuxatef Iron that

institution If they cannot take any man or vom-

Commissioners Work On
Answer to Cananza

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-A.nerican
members of the joint American-MeXican
comission went to work today on their
response to the last communication of
General Carranza, who, it is now ad-
mitted officially, refused to approve the
protocol signed by the commission
members at Atlantic City for with
drawal OF American trops from Mexico
and cooperative border patrol.
A number of circumstances lead TO
the belief that the joint comission may
abandon its attempts to compose the in
ternational difficulties and that Henry
p. Fletcher may be sent sono to the
post of ambassador to Mexico, for
which he was confirmed nearly a year
ago. The text of the protocol was pub
lished today for the first time.
There were further insistent reports,
lacking official confirmation, that the
administration is seriously considering
ordering General Pershing's troops back
to American soil to be distributed along
the border TOR military reasons, regard
less OF Carranza's attitude.
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador
designate, announced late yesterday he
had been called TO Mexico City by Gen
eral Carranza for a conference, but that
he would return 10 his duties here in
ABOUT three weeks.
1t was announced that the American
commissioners only would make a state
ment of their position TO the president
and in some quarters that was taken To
forecast an end Of the commission nego-
tiations. An answer is being prepared
TO Carranza's plea for notifications in
the protocol, but it was said that was
not TO be discussed today with the pres
idenI.
The end of the commission. negotia-
tions was considered by other officials
TO be preliminary to a new line of pro-
cedure in Mexican relations which is
expected TO begin with the sending OF
Henry p. Fletcher to his post as Ameri-
can ambassador at Mexico City and the
withdrawal of the American military ex-
petition.

estimated that over five million people
daily i'm this country alone are taking
Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results
have been reported from its use both py
doctors and laymen, that a number of
physicians in various parts of the coun-
try have been asked to explain why they
prescribe it so extensively, and why IT
apparently produces so much better re-
suits than were obtained from the old
forms ofkaporSanic iron.

Mrs. Hay First Helper.
In 1904 the little church wss
founded. The late Mrs. John Hay,
when she learned of the name which
the church was to bear, the Mckinley
Memorial, donated $1,000. Others fol
lowed her example with small contri-
buttons, until the sum was large
enough to actually start the Mckinley
Memorial Church and pay immediate
expenses.
This was not enough however, to
keep the church out of debt, and
money had to be borrowed For years
the congregation has worked with
one object in view-to get this debt
of its hands. But money is scarce
among the members of this church,
and the day Of reckoning is not far
away, with $4,000 still to pay.
The pastor has gathered his flock
about him and laid plans for funds to
pay of the debt. The colored people
are doing everything in their power
to raise $4,000 within the next two
weeks.
