A new CLUE FOUND
In the Murder of DR.. Helene
Knabe.
(National News Associat tion)

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 3O.-A new
light was shed on the murder of Dr.
Helene Knabe Monday, when Gary W.
Haskitt, 112 E. North street, who has
not yet talked to the police, divulged
to a reporter a clue to the possible
murderer. Haskitt was confronted
with distinguished looking man who
hurried out of the courtway, running
east and west, beside the Knabe flats
at 11:20 last Monday night, a man
whose description links up with the
theory that crafty person slew DR..
Knabe. Special value is thought to
attach to Haskitt's statement because
his whole training has tended to make
him a keen observer. He served as
an officer in the Indiana state prison
under NJ. NJ. Barnard when the lat
ter was deputy warden there, and al.
so served in the same capacity for
about four years in the Indiana re.
formatory.

Enrolment in District Grade
Schools in 1906 Was 1854.
and This Year Attendance
Is 2,3O7.
SCHOOLS IN TOWNS
AND CITY ENLARGE
Figures Show Tendency of
People to Move from the
Farms Into Small Towns
and This City.

County Superintendent c. O. Will
liams has prepared a statistical report
of the enrolment of the district
schools showing that there has been a
general decrease in attendance in the
district grammar schools as opposed
to a general increase in the high
school, The combined attendance, how
ever, in comparison with that of 1906,
the Oldest report of this character in
his possession, indicates there are
fewer pupils attending the common
schools than five years ago. The at
tendance in the district grade schools
in 1906 was 1884, as compared with
2307, the, grammar school enrolment
this year! However, the attendance in
the high schools in the county has in
creased each year, In 1906 there were
but 124 pupils enrolled as against 200
this fall
The superintendent has but one ex-
planation for the decrease and that is
the population in the county is grad
ually drifting toward the cities and
small towns, He fnds this expansion
substantiated by the growth of the
schools in the towns and in this
city. He does not believe that the
schools themselves are responsible.
holding that the district schools afford
the same courses of instruction and
the instruction as good as in the town
or city schools. The worst disadvant-
age of the country school as compared
with the town or city schools, is that
the terms are shorter in the former
and therefore district school children
have to work harder than the children
in the town or city schools to achieve
as much in a term.
The, tabled xstattstics lust prepared
show that the total enrolment IN the
grade schools this fall is 2,222. Nine
townships allowed smaller attendance
Efhan last year, the total decrease in
the elementary schools being 1913, as
against 81 increase in six other town
ah3rA There were decreases shown
IN tne reports 81 the high schools in
New Garden and Perry townships and
the high school pupils of Harrison and
Abingdon townships were transferred
elsewhere, making the decrease at
tendance in these township high
schools totaled 22.
The report also shows the number
of pupils in each township transferred
by the trustees to be as follows:

SAD TALE OF WOE
IS ). 7O[D /: TO COURT It
Mrs. Alpha Williams Alleges
Brutal Treatment by
Her Husband.

Martial troubles, which originated
several years ago over the discipline
Of their children, were partially re-
lated Monday by Mrs. Alpha Williams,
who seeks a divorce from Christie
Williams, a blacksmith and we'll
known in this city, before her counsel
found it expedient to withdraw the
present charge and refile a complaint
setting forth in more detail allega-
tions which the complainant will seek
to prove.
The plaintiff was asked to testify in
regard to matters not set forth in the
complaint, and Williams counsel OBJ
jected on the ground that as these al
legations were not set forth in the
complaint, the defendant had no op-
portunity to prepare to defend the
charges. On the advice of Judge Fox
of the circuit court, before whom the
case was to have been tried, the coun-
sci for the woman withdrew the COM
plaint with the intention of refiling an
other, celebrating on the charges of
cruel and inhuman treatment.
Mrs. Williams testified to the rela-
tions Of herself and her husband and
said they were married October 1,
1896, and that she left him on April
10, 1911, as she had informed him that
she intended to do two months before
She said that during these two months,
he did not have a kind word for her,
only curses. The troubles of the two
came to a head in February according
to Mrs. Williams, but she said she con-
tinued to live with him because their
four children were attending a coun-
try school and she did not want to
take them from school.
On three occasions her husband
struck her and on at least two occa-
sions blacked her eye, she told the
court. When living on North G street.
she said in November, 1904, one Of the
children was sick, and, when her hus-
band came in. was sleeping near the
stove. He commanded, with an oath,
she alleged, Eat the child be given
some medicine, to which she objected,
because the child was sleeping and
she did not wish to disturb him. She
said Williams became enraged and
struck her with such force that she
was knocked against the stove, dis
lodging the stove pipe. She said he
repeated the attack and that their
daughter Alpha. jumped between them
and tried to shield her mother and the
child from Williams. According to
Mrs. Williams her husband struck Al

NEW YORK, Oct 30.-The United
States government in it's brief filed by
Attorney General Wickersham in the
United States circuit court today COM
bats the proposed reorganization OF
the tobacco trust on the grounds that
under the plans proposed by the Amer
lean Tobacco company, to comply with
the mandates of the United States su-
preme court, it would be impossible to
tell whether any plans that might be
approved by the court would bring
competitive conditions, consequently,
which may be approved the govern
ment should be given permission to
intervene at any time within five
years and restrain the further work
:ngs of such plan, providing It does
not bring about the condition desired.
A persistent rumor was in effect
that Attorney General Wickersham
and special assistant United States at
torney James McReynolds had split
over the governments case and that
after a violent quarrel Mr.. Mickey
nolds had threatened to withdraw. Mr..
McReynolds. who has had charge OF
the governments case against the to.
bacco trust suspected the attorney gen.
eral of luke-warmness in his opposi
ton to the trusts reorganization plans
it was said. Mr.. McReynolds denied
this report.
The government tobacco brief states
the government will be willing fol
each company in the reorganization
to control up to forty per cent of the
business in its particular line.

GREEK tlB()RfR IS
SHOT IN THE LEG
Police Have Not Been Able
to Locate. AsSailant of
Steve Dramas.

Steve Dramas, a Greek laborer, en-
ployed at the construction camp of the
Pennsylvania railroad near East Ger
mantown, was shot in the right leg
by fellow workman early yesterday
cure a bucket of water. Friends
brought him to this city later in the
morning and he was removed to the
Reid Memorial hospital in the city
ambulance. Police are investigating
the case and are attempting to escer-
tain the identity of the man who did
the shooting
Dramas is resting easily today and
there is little doubt but that he will
recover unless a complication, such as
blood poisoning sets in. 1t is said that
the shot entered Immediately below
the left knee and went through the
knee, splintering the bones.
Owing to the fact that the men,
bers of the construction gang are for
eigners and are unable to speak the
English language, it is difficult for the
police to elicit information from them.
The incoherent story told by Jim
Popibob, one OF the men who brought
Dramas to this city is to the effect
that Dramas left the camp between
and 4:3O o'clock yesterday morning
to secure a bucket of water and that
he had been gone but a few minutes
when the members of the gang heard
a shot and running to the outside Of
their shanty saw Dramas lying on the
ground short distance away They
picked him up and carried him to the
shanty and then brought him to this
city.

led Drumas here and when they left
the interurban they started to carry
Dramas to the hospital. A pedestrian
seeing them carrying the man called
police headquarters and Ambulance
Driver Wenger took the Greek to the
hospital.
The other Greeks were questioned
afterward but little information was
obtained. 1t is said that the bullet was
from a 30 calibre revolver.

That the Iowa soldiers monument

in Des Moines in the interests OF the
proposed removal from Des Mo:nes to
Marshalltown.
Chaplain Cole said today that he had
TO hopes that the bill calling for an

and believes that the monument will be
allowed to remain where it now stands.
II, however, Senator Van Law and
Representative Lounsberry. OF this

the monument from its present site to

believed in two years time an appro-

with which a smaller monument could
be purchased and erected on the home
grounds.
While the cost OF moving the monu-
ment, even from It's present site to the

be additional cost in moving 1t to the
