These Are the Facts

SEVENTH Such state declarations of labor
and central labor bodies as are dominated
by bartenders and brewery workers do not
represent the great majority Of American
workingmen.
Eighth: In many cases in the unsigned
advertisement individual trade unionists are
counted again and again in the petition pre-
sented to the President and Congress, being
counted: lst in their international organiza-
tons; End, in the state bodies; 3rd, in the
central labor unions; 9TH, in the local unions;
5th, in such organizations as Personal Liberty
Leagues, Mutual Benefit Societies, etc.
Ninth: Over 10000 Of those enumerated
as being identified with Union Label Trades
Departments, Labor Temple Associations Sick
Benefit Funds, Mutual Benefit Societies and
Personal Liberty Leagues are counted second
time in bona-fde labor Unions
There are many other perfectly obvious at
tempts to pad the numbers, which efforts will
not deceive any one familiar with the Ameri-
can Labor Movement.

This Time Has Come!
The whole world is suffering today from
food shortage. 1t must be perfectly plain to
every one that if the food products raised for
the liquor industry were to be used for food in
stead of liquor it would greatly relieve the sit
uation.
Even though it were true, as the proponents
of beer claim elsewhere, that only 1R Of the
yearly supply of grain is used for making booze,
and if as the economists have told u.s. this per
cent would feed 1000, OO0-and if, as the news
dispatches show, in Poland in Serbia and in
Belgium, men, women and little children are
starvng-and with the possibility Of starvation
threatening Of our people such
time of worldwide food shortage-have 2000
900 people moral right publicly to petition the
President that he allow 100000 people to
starve?
Have we right to starve some people in
order to make others drunk?
America is going to need the conservation
of every ounce of energy every dollar Of capital
and every last particle Of strength. Looked
at in the most lenient light, it can hardly be
claimed that the traffic in alcohol will help
strengthen America.
1t wastes food products, it wastes labor, it
wastes human life.

of those he wanted was "elusiye,' and
it was not certain whether his services
could be obtained The action of con

Shot Rings Out As Officers
Come to Arrest Him For
Murder Of Girl
WOMAN'S UNDERSHIRT
Is FOUND ON HIS BODY
CircumstaRtial Evidence Is
Strong That He Killed
Maize Colbert

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-An ever-grow-
ing chain of circumstantial evidence
was this afternoon closing around the
name of Bernard Wesley Lewis, scion
of wealthy Pittsburg family, who com
mitted suicide in an Atlantic City hotel
as detectives burst into his room to ar
rest him in connection with the murder
of Maize Colbert. Police declared the
evidence points ever more strongly to
him as the slayer of the stunning little
model.
Detectives declared today that Henry
Fox, a criminal lawyer, had recognized
in Lewis through newspaper pictures
the young man who two days ago rush
ed into his office at Norristown and
asked to be defended ON charge of
murder. The man hired an automobile
near Haverford and was intensely ner-
vous and excited as he talked TO the
lawyer. In addition, the chauffeur has
also identified Lewis, through the same
means, according to police statements.
Another significant development this
afternoon was admission by detectives
that bloodstains, several days old, had
been found on the socks Lewis were
when he killed himself. These stains, it
was said, were below the shoetops, near
the ankles, indicating that Lewis, il he
was in Miss Colbert Is apartment, was
not fully clothed.

The End Of the Tra,l

/ Philadelphia, Jan. 5.--BernaFd Wes-l
ley Lewis, Yale graduate, scion of a
wealthy Pittsburg family, reached the
end of the primrose path today. His
body, disfigured by bullet hole
through the center of his forehead
self-inflicted-was in an Atlantic City
morgue today.
She who trod the same primrose
path with Lewis, Maize Colbert, age
25, Of humble birth and beautiful until
some frenzied murderer crushed her
delicate features and body into gross
flesh and blood-was in q simple grave
in Philadelphia.
Maize Colbert was murdered. And
Bernard Lewis all but confessed muir
derer of his beautiful paramour when
he committed suicide last night in an
Atlantic City hotel, just as detectives
path led the rich man to death as it
led the poor girl there.
In Pittsburgh today wife, father
and mother were waiting for final
word from Philadelphia IS police to
render final verdict whether or not
Lewis swas actually the man who
fiendishly killed the pretty model.
Their verdict admittedly must be
based on circumstantial evidence alone.
But it was Lewis who took taxicab
to the Wilton apartment, where Maize
Colbert lived, who was the last man
known to have seen the girl alive and
who ran away seeking to lose himself
when police fastened upon his trail.
Taxi Driver Identified Him.
Last night, in Atlantic Gity's
morgue, the taxi driver who carried a
man to the Wilton on the night Mazie
Colbert was cruelty beaten to death,
identified as his fare the man whose
body was then in the morgue, a bullet
through the head.
Lewis. must have felt the net tight
ening about him. His room at the
Atlantic City hotel had been prepared
as death chamber. Lewis had STUFF
fed towel over the transom Of his
room and cut off the batr hOom in
somewhat similar fashion. Cracks
around the window had been stuffed
with paper. Key holes had been stop
ped up---as if Lewis cringed before the
eve Of the law that he knew was con-
stantly seeking him.
His belongings were in disorder. inc
