The last of the SALESMANSHIP
CLUB free paper credits appeared in
last nights issue of the Press. and the
days of 49, had nothing on the rush
that ensued about press time for the
last of the free credits.
The last coupon counted 1000 credits
and due notice of this had been given
early in the week.
Result: Staid maids and matrons.
school boys and business men thronged
the Press office eager to get the big
coupons for their favol'tes. Previous
announcement had been TO the effect
that not more than one paper would be
isOld to any one person and it was anus
ing the various subterfuges that were
put forth in order to ''put one over on
the Press force and get more than one
issue of Fridays Press.

he had anything to do with the killing
or that he was in the city when it left
the city last Thursday evening. He is
being held, however, on the theory that
some knowledge of associations and
conditions which he possesses may en-
able the investigators to find a clue to
the man or men responsible for the
crime.
Nazabal sticks consistently to his
original story that he loaned the auto
mobile to Romero, merely as an accom-
modation to a friend, and that it was
his understanding and belief that Ro
nero wanted the car for the evening to
go to a dance in MeXicai. There seems
to be no reason to doubt NaZabal's
statement that he and Romero We're
good friends, and that he could not have

removal.
