and made the steal safely after a
pretty slide. Lapps throw to Collins
was perfect but not fast enough to
offset HerZog's speed. Fletcher
killed the budding hope on three
pitched balls. Coombs had three
strikeouts in the inning. NO RUNS.
One hit. No errors.
Third Inning.
Barry grounded out, Herzog to
Merkle. Lapp reached for high one
and planted it safely in short cen
ter. There was a lively scramble
at first base over Meyers quick throw
to catch Lapp off. Two players fell
across the bag but not damage was
done. Coombs grounded; to Herzog
who threw to Doyle to catch Lapp at
second. The Giants second baseman
muffed the assist with was right III
his glove and all hands were safe,
Herzog getting credit for the assist
and Doyle chalking up the first er-
ror. Lord flew out 10 Doyle. Old
ring hit to the field fence for home
run, scoring Lapp and Coombs ahead
of him. Oldring's smash was a line
fly which landed high in the bleach
ers about six feet inside the foul
line. Collins walked and stole sec
ond on the second ball pitched to
Baker Baker grounded out 10
sIerkle unassisted. THREE RUNS.
Two hits. One error.
There was no discounting the fact
that Oldring's timely smash put a
terrible dent in the feebly wobblins
chances Of the Giants and after Mar
Guard had walked Collins with Baker
to follow him, Ames was sent TO the
outfield to warm up.
Meyers singled through Baker
and Becker went to bat for Marquard.
Three runs and three hits were scored
off NIarquard in three innings. BY
a lightning fast play Barry pulled
down Becker's line drive and his
speedy throw to Davis came within
anan ace of completing a double play
but as Meyers did not advance 4
base the first basemYl escaped an
error. On an attempted hit and run
play, Devore famed and Meyers was
doubled, Lapp to Collins. NO RUNS.
One hit. No errors.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 25.-Com-
pletely bafled in their efforts to Sc
cure clue in the death mystery OF
Dr.. Helene Knabe, 35. former state
pathologist of Indiana, and one OF
the best known women physicians in
the middle west, the Indianapolis
police today worked on the theory
Of revenge as the only possible solu-
tion of the mystery.
Coroner Durham today announced
after a complete examination, that
the body OF the dead physician
showed no evidence Of criminal as
sault. He scouts a suicide theory
and considers that the evidence that
Dr.. Knabe was murdered. conclusive.
None Of the woman's jewels or val
uables are missing, according to the
police. With these theories made
untenable the police today are seek
ing out the life history Of the dead
woman in an effort to ascertain any
enemies thatSshe may have had. No
hint of any love affairs has yet been
secured by the police and SO far as
they Lave been, are unable to find
that any man called upon her. Prac-
tically all Of her male acquaintances
were among the physicians of the
city.
That the death wound was inflicted
on the woman 1 nher sleeping apart
ments by man, is, however, the be-
lief of the police. The cartilage OF
the spinal column was found TO he
marked today indicating that q pow
erful arm welded the knife to her
throat. or it would not have ,pene-
trated so deeply.
indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 25.-GoY-
ernor Marshall today took steps which
may result in Indiana offering re-
ward for the apprehension OF the
murderer Of Miss Helene Knabe, 80,
former state bacteriologist and path
ologist OF Indiana.
In the absence Of superintendent
of police Hyland. Mayor Shank today
took personal charge of the investi-
CATION Of the death mystery and held
conferences with the police and cor
oner. 1t is likely that he will call
special meeting Of the city council
to consider the matter ard that re-
ward will be offered by the city which
will probably be supplemented by the
state.
Another investigation of the dead
womans apartments today developed
not even the slightest clue. Jeffer-
son Haines, co!ored janitor, was
again examined by the police, but was
allowed to go. The police say they
are satisfied that he knows nothing
of the murder.

SELECTING JURY FOR
M'NAMAR A TRIAL.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 25.-lt is
becoming certain as the wearisome
task Of empaneling a jury to try
James r. Mcnamara continues, that
that is merely the prelude of an at
tempt on the part of the Burns De-
tective Agency to prove the existence
of an inner circle within the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor which coun-
tenances and finances acts Of viol-
ence.
Several times Attorney Darrow
demanded whether they considered
labor leaders lawless element, who
advocated violence in bringing about
acquiescence to their demands by
employers. This question adroitly
framed, in a score OF ways, has al
ready clogged the record, despite the
strenuous efforts on the part OF Judge
Bord and District Attorney
Fredericks to prevent it.
The real reason became apparent
today when it was learned that Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks is study
ing the transcript Of the grand jury
presentations at Indianapolis. He
has summoned all the witnesses who
testified there. to testify in this case
where that is possible.
The defense is determined to pre-
vent this and will insist that wheth-
er Mcnamara is guilty Of the many
crimes alleged by the Burns opera
tives or not, he is on trial simply
for the alleged destruction Of the
Times building. 1t is known that
the State has already brought a doz-
en- dynamite dealers here from Illi-
nois, Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana
and had them secretly identify both
the McNamaras as the men, who, un-
der alleged alias, made large pur-
chases of explosives.
This is certain to be the first real
fight in the case after the jury is
completed. Attorney Darrow and
assistants will insist inasmuch as the
State holds that the Times building
was blown up with dynamite pur-
chased at Giant, Cal, all their tes-
timony regarding other alleged pur-
chases should be eliminated.
There is already much friction be-
tween Judge Bordwell and the at
torneys for the defense. Late yes
terday Attorney Scott, examining ven
ireman A. C. Winter, injected the
personality of Burns. He wanted to
know whether, having read Burns
statements, Winter believed them,
therefore becoming an unfair juror.
Fredericks objected, insisting that
Burns was not on trial. Bordwell
sustained the objection and Scott
shouted: Burns may not be on
trial but his personality is vital
factor here and his reputation is
staked on the outcome"
Bordwell rebuked Scott.
Scott declared he had a right to
get the known facts into the record,
but Bordwell shouted: 81 believe !
already ruled that I don't want to
hear from you" He then adjourned
court.
There are now in the jury box four
men passed by both sides.

Military Movements in Turkey.

London, Feb. An unprecedented
foreign military movement by the
Young Turks to check the growing do
nestle discomfort is indicated in today s
dispatches from salonika. These dis
patches say that the Young Turks have
decided to mobilize 10000 reserves, IN
addition to the present standing army
Of 100000.
While it was known that Turkey was
threatened from many sides, her danger
has not been thought sufficiently imm!,

stration. Italy, Russia, Greece and
Bulgaria are believed to be the possible
adyersaries OF Turkey. The decision

to a movement by the government 1t
