Live News.

The State Department is putting
ou: .orne live news in the publica.
ton Of German intrieues in this
country revealed from the secrets
of the diolomatic service. Mr.
Lansing. as reporter, is cclipsine
Mr.. Creel.
The latest revelation Of a request
by Ambassador Bernstorff for $780,
600 to influence Congress is "abso
lutely intolerable" and the only re-
gret is that we can't take him back
20 send him away again The re-
quest for the money is dated
January %, 1917, but presumably
it was not known to Mr. Lansing at
the time he was disuissing Mt
Bernstorff so courteously and pro-
curing comforts for safe passage.
Considering the small amount
thought necessary by the German
Ambassador to influence Congress.
il the money was intended for di.
rect brides, the figure adds insult to
injury and affords the defendants
an opportunity to plead inadequacy
of consideration. The publication
of the information at this late day.
after all the war measures have
been passed by nearly unanimous
votes, and every measure granted
which the president asked. enables
us to see that none of the STUFF
was placed effectively.
However. an earlier announce
ment of the scandalous proposition
might have expedited business.
Mr.. Lansing is awakening much
interest and il he has any more live
stuff up his espionage sleeve we
would like TO see him release il
There is more than a suspicion
that all the belligerets were using
money in this country to influence
Congress prior to the declaration of
war, though not necessarily for
brlbes. The whole secret history of
influencing public sentiment from
the outside would make a surpris
ing revelation no doubt TO the
American people if the facts were
known. and not or" congress bur
the press would testify before the
Investigating committee.

MODEL MURDER NOT SOLVED
LEWIS NAME MAY BE
CLEARED OF GUILT

CLEARED Or GUIEI
Philadelphia, Jan. 9.-The murder
of Maize Colbert, pretty model,
which was thought cleared by the
suicide of Bernard w. Lewis, Pitts
bUrgh millionaire's son, became a
live mystery today.
Detectives are searching for a man
who was brought into the case by
Bessie Colbert, sister of the dead
model Bessie Colbert declared she
heard one of her sisters wealthy adj
mirers say:
'Tn get back that diamond ring
even if l have, to choke the life out
of her"
The entire case probably will be
reopened. Lewis committed suicide
in an Atlantic Ciy hotel last Thursday
when police were about to arrest him
in connection with the murder.
Another piece Of information that
detectives must investigate is that a
woman is said to. have declared she
saw Maize Colbert alive on Friday,
Dec. %, last. That is the day she is
supposed to have been murdered.
If this statement can be proved
true, then Lewis name will be clear
of all blame, for he was known to
have been in Germantown Friday
afternoon, visiting the Misses Ethel
and Mabel Kyle, who were with him
in his taxicab the night before, when
he is said to have gone to Miss Col
beTt's apartment.

An adjourned meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the Town of Dolores
was held in the Town hall Tuesday
evening with all members present ex-
cepting Trustees Goodwin and Porter.
After the allowing of bills and other
routine work was completed the mat
ter of sewerage and lights was dis
cussed to some extent, and the men,
bers of the board present expressed
themselves in favor of electric lights
for the town, and that they were
ready to consider propositions for fran
chise and also to look into the feasibil-
ity of a municipal plant owned and
operated by the Town.
The rest room proposition was again
presented by the mayor and discussed
to some extent by the board. The
proposition was the leasing and remod-

ladies' rest room and the other side
furnished with tables for a pool room

Town needed a rest room but were not
very enthusiastic over the pool hall
part of the proposition.
The salary of the marshall was raised
from $500 to $40 90 per month.

Dolores is ready for a lighting plant
and the present Board of Trustees
seem favorable to the proposition of
one being installed. the only question
10 should the Town own it or should a
franchise be given some party or cor
poration to erect one. Every citizen
of Dolores should be interested in this
matter and express themselves to the
members of the Town council on this
matter, for it makes no difference how
this plant is put in or by whom, the
citizens of Dolores will have it to pay
for. The only difference is if the
Town install the plant you will only
have to pay for it once. but il it is put
in under franchise you will continue to
pay for it indefinitely. By this we
mean that after a municipal owned
plant is paid for the revenue received
from lights will be used to meet other
expenses of the town, but If fran
chise is given the town will never re-
receive any revenue.
