t. vii HEAD CUT EARLY AW Former Indiana Bacteriologist Believed by. Authorities to Have Been Murdered in Apartments. SUICIDE THEORY SCOUTED BUT AGAIN REVIVED. Police Say Absence of Knife With Which Deed Was Done Successfully Refutes Contention.

Indianapolis, Oct. Dr. Helen Knabe, former state bacteriologist, found dead In bed today with her head almost severed by the slash of a knife, came to her death, remains tonight a mystery to the police. Jefferson Haynes, tne negro Janitor of the apartment house where Dr. Knabe lived, was detained on suspicion that he knew something of the circumstances of her death, but to-nigh the detectives let him go after he had withstood for hoars their attempts to draw incriminating information.

They were in the dark, ae to last night's tragic incidents in Dr. Knabe's flat. The theory of suicide, put aside earlier in the day, was revived tonight, but the police declared the evidence tended to indicate murder. Kmlfe is Not Yet Found. The knife with which Dr.

Knabe was killed has not yet been found, end the coroner, and the police are of the opinion that if she herself gashed her throat, she would not have had strength to have carefully hidden the knife and then returned to her bed. there were no blood stains on the floor of her bed room, save wher blood had trickled from the wound, across the' bed and dripped oi the floor. The blow dealt was a powerful one, for the knife passed through the muscular tissue and yns only stopped by the upper vertebrae. On one of Dr. Knabe's arms was a slight -wound and blood was smeared on her left leg.

Haynes, the Janitor, who had known Dr. Knabe for years, told the police that he went to bed in hia room in the basement of the apartment house at 11 o'clock last night. Dr. Knabe'a apartment was Just above on the first floor of th building- i He was awakened In the night he said, by three, screams, pjaxJxUy '-tfi: Dr. Knabe's flat, but he slipped off to sleep again without Investigating.

Heard Footsteps la Room. At 5 o'clock this morning, he continued, he heard footsteps in the room above him. It was 8:15 o'clock this morning when Katherine McPherson, Dr. Knabe's assistant, found her dead. The body lay on its back, the arms outstretched.

The night dress was disarranged and across the breast was a pillow. There were only slight signs of a struggle. Physicians, after an examination, agreed Dr. Knabe had been dead about six hours. The coroner stated that he could find no evidence that she had been assaulted.

The police were unable to discover that there had been a violent struggle in any of the rooms or that they had been robbed. Spent Mnch Tine Stndylag. Dr. spent much time In study. Her resignation from the position of state bacteriologist was caused by the pressure of her private practice and her desire tcrstudy hygiene, said Dr.

J. N. Hurley, secretary of the Indiana board of health. "She was a brilliant woman, of a beautiful character," said jjr. Hurley.

Dr. Knabe was- 35 years old, and of strikingly attractive appearance. She had never been married. She was a-member of the American Medical association's committee on education of women in hygiene and the rathology of child-birth, and was devoted to physical culture progress among women. She was 'born in Germany" the daughter of a civil engineer in the German array.

Coming to this countrj-as a girl, by her own efforts she paid the expense of her education. I.orlmer Attorney Criticised. Chicago, Oct. 24. Senator William P.

HER PUT TO BY ATHLETICS Slugging American League Champions Make It Three Straight From Much Feared Giants. TERRIFIC SLUGGING FEATURED STRUGGLE. Players in Big Series Will Divide Over $125,000 as Their Share of Gate Receipts! Philadelphia, Oct.

24. Hitting the great Mathewson to all corners of the the Athletics defeated the New York. Giants at Shibe Park this afternoon for the third successive time by the score of 4 to 2, and the American league champions now need but a tingle game to again give them the world's baseball honors of the second year in succession. The victors not only outbatted the champions of the National league, but also outfielded them and showed more alertness on the bases. It was a finely played game, sensational in spots, and gave the home crowd plenty of opportunity to cheer.

New York getting the Jnmp in the first inning, the Athletics camie from behind, passed them in a fierce onslaught in the fourth Inning and were never again headed. Nearly 25,000 persons! witnessed the contest. Mathewson, the mainstay, of the Giants, was fairly crushed under the fusillade of hits and at the end of the seventh Inning he retired In favor of Wiltse. The latter pitched but one inning against the heavy hitting Philadelphia team, and escaped with one two-base hit out of four men up. Ten hits for a total of 16 bases were made oft Mathewson In six Innings.

In the seventh inning he gaie his only base on balls to Baker. "Chief Bender; the Athletics sterling pitcher, while he did not equal the wonderful game he twirled against New York on the opening day of th series, was never In trouble except in the first Inning. 'New York got but seven hits off him, only two of them ooraing in one He struck out four men and "gave two "bases on balls. In the opening round the top of the New York batting list Jumped on the Chippewa In a manner that made the timid ones fear that all was lost. The great Indian settled down, however, after New York had scored two runs on a single by Devore, a triple by Doyle, and a sacrifice fly by Snodgrass, and had New York at his mercy practically all the' way.

Barry, the brilliant shortstop of the Athletics, was the star man at the bat. In four trips to the plate he ripped out a single and two doubles, but none of his hits figured In the scoring. The sensational Baker came to time with a pair of two-base hits out of three times up, and Murphy-broke loose for the first' time in the series and laeed out two doubles that set the crowd wild with cheering. Captain Davis, substituting for the injured Mclnnls, also was In the thick of the battle, pounding out a two-base hit In the big fourth Inning, when the Athletics passed New York by scoring three runs. It was in this Inning that the greatest exhibition of hitting yet seen in the present world's series was given.

The only men on the Philadelphia team that did not get into the hit column were Oidring, Thomas and Bender. For New York, Devore, Doyle and Fletcher showed best at the plate. Devore got two singles in four1 times up, Doyle smashed triple three times at bat. and Fletcher had a pretty pair of. singles, but only Devore's hit and Doyle's three-base drive figured In New York's scoring.

New York started out like a winner. In the first inning Devore reached first on an infield tap ard came all the way home on Doyle's triple right center. The New York second baseman probably would have gotten only" a single on his hit had not Oidring slipped In the soft turf of the outfield, the ball eluding him long enough to permit Doyle to pull up at third. Snodgrass brought Doyle home with a long sacrifice fly to Lord. This was the end of New York's scoring.

The two-run lead looked to the Athletic partisans but the fighting Athletics kept pegging away at Mathewson. There were chances to, score In the second and third tr.nlng". Jt It was not ur.tll the fourth that the Am-rican leaguers shewwj their reil batting strength. Baker, who ttruck out the irst time up. caught one cf Mathew son's outsid curves ar.d drove It to left center for two bajes.

Murphy smashed a two-bagrer to left, sending Baker across the plate, ar.d Paris brought the spectators to their feet by driving double to richt field, ser.ding hene Murphy with the tyir.g run. Davi moved np to third on Barry's o-Jt nd center. It was a great exhibition or running and head work. with his fleetness, won him a round of cheers.

This gave the Athletic their fourth and final run. In the four game, io far played neither Murray New York ror Ttom-as of Philadelphia, has made a hit. Aside from the exceptional exhibitor cf hitting, the game was replete with brilliant fieMir.g, both pitcher be! eg backed up in fine aty'e.

Shields were indicted for conspiracy to defraud the government out of Alaska coal lands, estimated to bo -worth $10,000,000. The point to lt decided is whether the United States circuit court for western Washington was correct in dismissing the Indictment against Mun-day and Shlels.

The court did this on the ground that the land laws applicable to Alaska did not limit the number of entries a person or asso ciation might make of coal lands. The government took the opposite view. It was charged in the indictment that Munday and Shlels conspired with each ther and with persons unknown obtain for the Alaska Development ornpany and the Pacific Coal and Oil tomi-any some 6t000 acres of lands in llaska.

Oct. 24. Contending that the federal government is guilty of negligence in proceeding to fortify the Oregon and California grant lands, and that the outstanding bondholders must be. protected to the extent of at least $20,000,000 as their lien upon these lar.ds. the Union Trust company of New York has filed a Ions: answer in the federal court to the government's suit.

Instead of placing itsdefense to the government forfeiture proceedings on the sole ground of Innocent purchase, the trust company's answer negatives many of the important statements upon which the government relies for its case. One of these denials goes to the sufficiency of the transfer or so-called lease to the Southern Pacific, the trust company insisting that this Is not a merger nor an absorption. In all respects the trust company appears as the real owner of the land until its $20,000,000 bonds are paid.
