Philadelphia, Jan. 7.--Bernard w.
Lewis, who committed suicide Thurs
day night in Atlantic City, killed Ma
zie Colbert, advertising art model. in
a quarrel over money, according to
the belief expressed by District Attor-
ney Samuel p. Rotan, who Saturday
night made known the result of con-
ference with two new witnesses sum-
mon,d to establish a missing link
the acquaintanceship of Lewis and the
girl. There is no direct evidence that
Lewis killed Miss Colbert.
The conclusions of the district at
torncy are concurred in by Captain of
Detectives Tate. and the case Satur-
Gay night was virtually closed, accord
ing to them. A few scattered ends re-
main to be cleared up but they are in
consequential according to Mr.. Rolan.

The two witnesses summoned to Mr..
Rotan's office late Saturday, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. C. Chambers, were personal
ly acquainted with the girl, according
to the district attorney. They We're in

marked that he is my friend from
New York" Miss Colbert, according to
the information given out by the dis
triCt attorney, said she met Lewis at
a. motor show here. Lewis was engaged
at that time as a demonstration for a
motor accessory concern.
Mrs. Chambers informed the district
attorney that Miss Colbert had con-
fided to her on the day Lewis arrived
in this city from New York. which
was the day before the murder is sup
posed to have occurred, that she had
only $40 to her name" When muir
dered only 50 in cash was found among
the slain girls effects.

witness. the district attorney an

Colbert fought over money and that

confirmation of the report that the
girl had $1,000 In the bank. Miss Col

Cincinnati, O., Jan. Intervention
in Mexico, not with arms, but by free,
public, nom sectarian schools, was
recommended in a report issued to-
night by a self-constituted committee
of Americans of national reputation
as educators or publicists. This COM
mittee began studying Mexican condi-
tons about a year and a half ago. Its
conclusions were summarized as fol-
lows:
THE chaos existing in Mexico is due
to great variety of racial elements,
woeful lack of general education, still
sgreater lack of political experience and
rapacity and cupidity of the educated
leaders, and in a few instances of in
telligent uneducated."
To make educational intervention
effective the committee recommended
establishment of {, non-sectarian col
lege modelled after the Roberts College
in Constantinople.
Abstract Of Report
Lack of intelligence and true lead
ership, says the report, have thwarted
attainpsent of liberty in Mexican rev.
olutions Ar abstract of the report
reads:
THE crying need of Mexico is edu-
cation--a type Of education that will
lift the common people out of their
sloth and ignorance and enlist the bet
ter classes in a real patriotic service.

of the United States as well as the
Mexicans. such proposal is no more

great importance, because the Entente
government was expected to take the
opportunity to discuss their whole

and particularly Americans part in
securing peace. The decision reached
is expected here to be so long as the
military situation remains unchanged.
Whether the Entente reply 20 the
American note will be forwarded to
the Central Powers still is an open
question. 1t is said such action would
be entirely permissible diplomatica!y.
