Shanghai, Oct. 25.-The capture OF
Chang-Chou by the revolutionists was
announced in dispatches which reach
ed this city shortly after noon today.
From a strategic point Of view this city
should prove OIL great value to the reb-
els.
It is the junction Of the Kai-Fung
and Pekin- Hankow railroads and -
located ESQ miles north of Hankow. Its
character apparently cuts on IRON
Pekin all the imperial troops now
gathered around Hankow and Wu-
Chang. Todays news from the lower

to the government. With Kiu-Kiang
in uudisputed possession Of the rebels.
the imperial fleet has retreatod on down
the river, some Of the vessels being
reported as far eastward as Wu-Hu.
Conditions are ominous not only in
Wu-Hu but also in Marking. Most OF
the Manchu officials have left these
two cities and are crowding into ShanE-
hal where every hotel IS already filed
with refugees.
The taotai of Shanghai today became
so alarmed over the possibility OF the
secession of the native city to the reb-
els that he removed his household 20
the foreign settlement The taotai OK
Nankin has also put himself under the
same protection.
The city of Su-Chow is in panic ow-
ing to the revolutionary threats OF 5000
weavers whose wages have been un-
paid for a long time.
Revolutionary agents here announc-
ed today that the insurgents expect to
establish their headquarters at Kiu-
Kiang which will probably be the revo-
lutionary capital.

THINK IT MURDER.
Police Can Find No Reason That
DIR. Knabe,
indianapolis Physician, Should
Have Committed Suicide.

Indianapolis Oct. 25.=Investigation
of the private life of DR.. Helen E.
Knabe, ofremr state bacteriologist,
found dead with her throat gashed
yesterday in her apartment, today oc-
cupied the detectives assigned to the
mysterious case. They purposed to
question the dead woman's friends in
the medical profession first, for it is
said her acquaintance was almost en-
tlrely confined to persons interested in
scientific subjects, in physical culture
or in social hygiene.
DR.. Knabe lived alone in the com
fortably furnished apartment in which
she was killed. She devoted all her
spare time to study and experimental
ton. She was member of the Young
Womens Christian association and
frequently lectured to its mem bers and
to the students of the high schools on
social hygiene, attempting to impress
on them the necessity of purity in all
social relations.
She was deeply interested in phys
ical and mental culture among women
and today was to have taken an ex-
animation as an instructor in the
North American Gymnastic union at
its normal school at the German house
in this city.
Janitor Is Released.
The police last night having re-
leased Jefferson Haynes. the negro
janitor of the building in which Dr.
knabe lived, after satisfying them
selves he could not tell anything OF the
circumstances of her death, took up
search today for a hidden motive for
her murder. The police after a nights
work were unable to discover that she
had either an enemy or an intimate
male friend. The theory of suicide
seemed untenable and DR.. Knabe's as
sistant, Miss Katherine Mcpherson,
said that the physicians practice was
increasing daily and that she was in
cheerful humor.
The coroner having found no evi-
dence of personal assault having
been committed and there being no
indications in the apartment of rob
berry, the police sought to find secret
places in her life. They believe the
murder, for 50 it appears today, was
done by a person that entered the door
not window of the apartment, COM
nitted the crime and departed through
the doorway.
Why there was a delay of over an
hour in summoning the police after
DR.. knabe'S body was found by Miss
Mcpherson and what were the condi-
tionS in detail were questions put to
the two women. After Miss Nc
Pherson entered DR.. Knabe's flat and
saw her body, she said she first tele-
phoned Augusta Knabe, in a distant
part of the city.
Miss Mcpherson said Dr. Knabe's 1
night dress was wadded under her
arms. She added that she pulled the
night dress down over the body. This
detectives say, explains the presence
OF blood on DIR. Knabe's left leg. The
detectives today turned to investigation
of a theory that DIR. Knabe may have
ended her own life and that some of
the group of her friends gathered in
the flat before the police inquiry got
under way, may have sought to take
away evidence of suicide. Several per-
sons it was said would be questioned
along this line of speculation.

THE MAN WHO IGNORES ADvER.

William E. Gladstone once said
that he first examined the advertis-
ing pages of American publications
because they told him of American
progress, and kept him in touch with
our manufactures and Improvements
In its infancy, advertising was in
jured by class of quacks and char
.atans, whose reckless promises were
not met by the delivery of the
goods. The common sense merchant
Of today has cut out all that. His
persuade, but to state facts, and let
the reader draw his own conclusions.
The man or woman who ignores ad-
,ertising was once compared by the
magazine, Good Housekeeping, t.
Robinson Crusoe on desert island,
surrounded by many useful and life
giving foods, but compelled to deter.
mine the value Of each by laborious
experiment.
There is little misinformation in
The modern advertisement. The mer-
chant has learned that peril Of it. He
can not always educate all his clerks

ton, and where lapses from fact are
made in that way, the offense,
while damaging, is at least not
conspicuous.
But false statement of fact in cold

clerks may say colloquially over

nent says in the white light Of the
newspaper, are apt to be as different
as what you say in an off hand mo-
ment, and what you write when you
raw up a legal document.
The merchant who avoids the lime

4 DIRECT PRIMARY
YORK.

Contrary to many predictions ,'ns
,Iammany members of the New Iord
legislature lined up with their up
state associates and helped to re-
t.eem the democratic platform
pledge to give the state direct pr
mary law.
Governor Hughes favored a direct
primary for the Empire state, but
the republican bosses defeated every
attempt made by him in that direc-
ton. The people had to change the
political complexion Of the Legislators
to secure progressive legislation.
The democrats have made good by
keeping every platform pledge, and
New York should now be counted as
safely democratic.

In several of the larger cities Of the
