.Witness Tells of Meeting Lewis at
Miss Colbert's Apartment Year
Ago Hair in Dead Woman's
Sands Like That of Lewis.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6. Bernard "W.
Lewis, who committed suicide Thurs
day night in Atlantic City, killed Mal
sle Colbert, advertising art model. In a
Quarrel over money, according to the
belief expressed by District Attorney
Samuel P. Rotan, who tonight made
known the result of a conference with
two new witnesses summoned to es
tablish a. missing link the acquaint
ance 'of Lewis and the girl. There Is.
however, no direct evidence that Lewis
killed Miss Colbert.
Miss Colbert's body was found a
week ago tonight in her apartment, a
silk stock having been tied about her
neck to Insure strangulation. Lewis
ended his life with a rifle Thursday
night, when the Atlantio City police
were about to arrest him In following
out a clue supplied by a taxicab driver.
Model Known to Lcwlt,
The conclusions of the District At
torney are concurreQ in by Captain of
Detectives Tate.
The two witnesses summoned to Mr.
Rotan's office late today, Mr. and Mrs.
W. C. Chambers, were personally ac
quainted with the girl, according to the
District Attorney. They were In the
model's apartment about a year ago
when Lewis entered and was Intro
duced by Miss Colbert, who remarked
that "he Is my friend from New York.'
Mrs. Chambers Informed the District
Attorney that Miss Colbert had confided
to her on the day Lewis arrived in tnis
city from New York, which was the
day before the murder Is supposed to
have occurred, that she had "only $10
to her name." when the murder was
discovered only $9 In cash was found
among the slain girl's effects.
Both In Need of Money,
After the conference with the new
witnesses the District Attorney an
nounced: "I believe Lewis and Malzie Colbert
fought over money and that each dis
covered the other 'broke.' Both needed
money. There Is no confirmation of
the report that the girl had $1000 In a
bank. Miss Colbert apparently said
something which angered Lewis and
possibly slapped him. and he struck
her In the face. She either fell, her
head striking a radiator, causing the
wounds on the back of her head, or she
was struck with some weapon. I do not
think the man Intended to kill. It is
certain there were only two persons In
the apartment."
Mrs. Chambers told the District At
torney that the diamond ring belonging
to the slain girl, the disappearance of
which has caused much conjecture, was
not worn by Miss Colbert on the day be
fore the murder.
Mr. Rotan confirmed the police as
sertion that Lewis' dark hair was Iden
tical with the few strands found In the
hands of the slain woman. He said
there was no doubt that marks on the
fingers of Lewis' right hand had been
made by teeth. The hand had also been
scratched.

ahead of her. so she may miss them.

reversed, and I ask you In God's name
to look out for Laura and Betty. I am
only a wreck now, but they must have
some peace and happiness. Laura Is a
wonderful woman, and I am paying to

FUTURE DECLARED BRIGHT
Treasurer Zambrano Declares He
Is Encouraged, Saving Optimism
Is Based on Conference When
Received by , President.
NEW YORK, Jan. 6. Nlclfero Zam
brano, Treasurer of the de facto gov
ernment In Mexico, recently sent to
Washington by General Carranza as his
personal representative, and who came
here today. Issued a statement In which
he predicted an early settlement of the
border difficulties. He based his be
lief, he declared, on the fact that the
American Government Is considering
seriously lifting at an early date for
the benefit of the Carranza govern
ment the embargo placed by President
Wilson on the shipment of arms into
Mexico, the recall of General Pershing's
expedition and the sending to Mexico
of Ambassador Fletcher.
Mr. Zambrano said he had called on
Secretary Lane and Judge George Gray,
of the American Commission, with
whom he discussed the Mexican situa
tion. He let it be understood also that
he was received by President Wilson
and Secretary of State Lansing. As the
result of his visit to Washington, Mr.
Zambrano said he had reported to Gen
eral Carranza that prospects for an
early adjustment of the existing diffi
culties are bright.
In part the statement aald:
"The conversation began by an ex
change of views on our International
question. This gave me the oppor
tunity to notice the good wishes the
Government of the United States is en
tertaining toward Mexico in its at
tempts to solve the problem of my
country and the desire that both coun
tries enter into an era of friendship
and cordiality. Mr. Lane and Mr. Gray
both assured me they expect to arrive
soon at a most satisfactory solution.
Corroborated in this was the kind
offer they made me to work also to the
effect that as an immediate step to that
end they will consider that President
Wilson send to Mexico Mr. Fletcher as
Ambassador of the United States, the
retirement of General Pershing's expe
dition and the raising of the embargo
on the exportation of munitions of war
to the Mexican government to the end
that the said government shall be in a
position to pacify the country and to
combat Its enemies successfully, par
ticularly the bandits, who are the
natural results of an upheaval.
I have never doubted that the dif
ficulties between Mexico and the United
States could be arranged through diplo
matic channels."

among other things, that he was im

fish and animal life to the state. He
said that Oregon had yet to learn that

of settlers and Investors and that the
idea was not so irreconcilable as It may

which he could return to Germany and
give his services to his country, Mrs.
Meyer decided that she should go to
serve her husband's nation, so that the
family of Meyer could continue Its
generations of Bervlce to the Emperor.

United States In Danger of Being
Relegated to Position of China,
Republican Club Told Mr.
Ford Opposes Military.
NEW TORK. Jan. t. If the United
States does not want to be relegated to
the position of China among the na
tions, training must begin at once of
the young men between the ages of 18
and 21 under a compulsory military
service law. United States Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, chairman of
the committee on military affairs of
the Senate, said In an address before
the Republican Club here today.
No man can tell what may- happen In
the International situation in the next
24 hours. Senator Chamberlain asserted.
He criticised the mobilization of the
National Guard at the Mexican border
as "wholly Ineffective," adding there
was no doubt in his mind "what would
have happened baa the United States
deolared war on Mexioov."
Even If his plan of compulsory mili
tary training of young men now were
effective, the Senator declared, it would
take three years to obtain an army ade
quate to x defend the country In the
event of a crisis.
Henry Ford, who had been invited to
address the club, was unable to attend,
but sent a telegram saying he was
'strenuously opposed to any kind of
military servlce.7
"We should lay the foundation. Mr.
Ford wired, "for all countries to lay
down their arms and abandon warfare.
"An Army or Navy is a tool for the
protection of misguided. Inefficient, de
structive Wall street and everyone of
those wno g&mDie, speculate and ma
nlpulate with the wealth provided by
honest industry. Militarism Is a men
ace to Industrialism and in one year
will destroy more than can be pro
duced In 30."
Oswald Garrison Vlllard. who also
was a speaker at the meeting, declared
that "the purpose of universal service
Is not to turn out workers, but to turn
out killers." Compulsory training, he
asserted, would result In a standing
Army In this country of about 1,400,000.
He protested that It would reduce all
men. to the same level and rob Individ
uals of the right to -think for them
Beives. Mr. vlllard also protested
against the "Army tendency to form
cliques" and what he characterised as
the unfairness toward negro troops
that are not allowed to have conunls-
Bioned officers of their own race."
