GARBAGE PLANT NEEDS FURTHER
 IMPROVEMENTS
Mayor and Health Board Will Not Let it Open Until Con-
 ditiOnS Are Fulfilled

Still far from satisfied with the improvements made at the Garbage Reduction plant, Mayor Edward T. Buckingham presided at a meeting of the Board of Health, last evening, and insisted that certain further changes be made before the plant open up for business.
 Mayor Buckingham and the mem bers of the health board went on a tour of insepction. They found that certain improvements have been made at the plant since it closed down af- ter the fire ofOewo months ago but that more improvements are desirable before the plant shall be allowed to resume operations.
 The meeting of inspection resolved itself into regular meeting. It was then moved by President Osborn and seconded by Commissioner Dund that the plant be not permitted to reopen until the following conditions have been fulfilled:
 First, that the blower be. connected with the drier, so that the Odors and dust from the drier be conveyed to the boilers and there consumed.
 Second, that MT. Fischer enclose the new conveyor, and close the top and side of the building.
 Third, that MT Fischer whitewash the interior of the building, repair the smokestack and the floors, and use a deodoriZing process.

GERMAN LOVERS DOUBLE UP.

What follows is no tale of love or devotion, but rather a mere mention of the remarkable success that has been won by an article of real merit
 German Lovers have been with us for fifteen years, gaining in popular ity each year and last year doubled its sales.
 They are really a Havana cigar, having selected Havana filled and a Connecticut shade grown wrapper which is really Havana inasmuch as it is grown from the Cuban seed, un- der climatic conditions superior even to those of Cuba, and grown under the personal observation of Connecti- cut experts whose commendable work in growing tobacco under canvas has attracted the attention of the whole world. Try out German Lover at Eckler & Co.'S store and see for your- self how Yankee ingenuity has out distanced the Cuban's birth-right.

AUTO THIEF HAS JOY RIDE IN WHICH HIS
 PARTNER IS KILLED
Especial from United Press }


 Hartford, Oct. 26jThe case of Rob- ert R. Taft, confessed thief of an automobile in this city, was continued in police court, today, until tomorrow, when he will be placed on trial along with Peter Manson, of Springfield, Mass, an accomplice On the wild ride through several states along the Atlantic coast and ending finally in a smashup at Buchanan, Va, Rich ard Clark. also of Springfield, a third partner in the joyride was killed. Young Clark's parent; heard only last night of their sons death. Al
 The arrests resulted through tip to the local police from Springfield officers who knew Taft as an old of fender in the auto line. Taft broke down and confessed after a short third degree. Manson is said to have con- fessed his part also.
 Taft gave graphic story of the ride The car was fast one When the three boys started they only intended to go as far as Stamford. Passing through Sstamford, the alarm having preceded them, they were suspected by the police of driving the stolen car but escaped. A Stamford officer fired several shots after them. That first night they got lost in the vicinity of Greenwich and drove around in a circle all night.
 They reached New York, next day, and tried to sell the machine for $500 The boys Kept on ssouthward. At Bu- chanan, Va, several days after they

Trying To Solve Death Mystery Of
 Woman Physician

Indianapolis, Oct. 2s-Around the unravelling of the private relations Of pr. Helene Knabe, 35, the police, to~ day, centered their efforts to solve the physician. With the lapse of 4s hours since the discovery of the a1- most nude body in the pf1ysfcian's apartments, by Miss Katherine Me-. Knabe, the police, today, were appar- ently no nearer a solution of the questions: Who is the murder, what was the motive,
 Every detail obtainable in the prf- vate life of Dr. Knabe was thorough ly investigated" said Captain of De- tectives Holtz, today. T am satisfied that only by the most thorough search of the private life of the dead woman will we be able to solve the mystery of her death"
 That Dr. Knabe had offended many persons in recent years, owing to her cratic temperament and blunt di- rectness of speech, is information that the police have secured. The naTnes of many persons, @ some of whom are social life in Indianapolis may be drawn into the case, said Captain Holtz.
 The blade with which the throsr of the dead physician was cut and the completeness of the precautions taken by the slayer to avoid leaving any evidence that would lead to hfs apprehension cause the police to be- lieve that the murder was committed by person of more than ordinary intelligence. The authorities also be- lieve that the murderer was familiar with the surroundings under which he worked.
 Miss Augusta Knabe, cousin of the dead woman, late yesterday, filed bill of sale in the probate court which disclosed that all of the dead womans possessions were in her name. Fin ancia.lf reasons" was given by her. to- day, as an explanation.
 sI had loaned my cousin a large sum of money she said, today. n knew she would pay it back when ever she found herself able"
 Criminal assault, robbery, revenge quarrel over money matters and Jealousy are the possible motives that have thus far been offered as a soiu- tion to the mystery. Robbery, the police say, is practically eliminated by the fact that pr. Knabe was com paratively poor and that her jeweiry was not moIested. Her enemies. thz police say, were largely professional persons, who had become aggTieved at her remarks, yet it is inconceivabIe that they would have sought her life. No love affair has yet been revealed
 Information that man with handkerchief over his face was seen in the alley back of the sDeaware apartments, in room of which the murdered body of Dr. Helen Knabe was found on the night of the killing was given to the police, today. This is the first definite clue the police have obtained and the entire detective force has been. put to work on It.

Rebel Commander
 Is Preparing To
 Advance On Pekin
Especial from United Press.J

Especial from United Press.J
 Shanghai, Oct. ze-Genera1 Ii Yuen Hung, commanding the rebel forces concentrated about Hankow, fs report ed, today, to be preparing for an in- mediate advance upon Pekfn. The road to the capital was opened, mes sages by direct routes from Hankow say, by the rebels overwhelming gsc- tory over General Yin Chans's fmper- ialist army, yesterday or Tuesday re- ports conflicting as to the exact time of the engagements conclusion.
 Accounts of the battle are very vague and confused and all that is definitely known sis that the Imper- ialists were decisive1y beaten.
 One version of the rebels led the imperialists into an ambush by pre- tending to retreat and then moved them down in heaps with a devastat- ing artillery fire. The same account has 1t that whole regiments of the fmperialists deserted to the rebels as General Yin tried to draw off his shattered forces. There are varying reports that General Yin himseIf was killed and that he was assassfnafed by member of his own staff but for of confirmation.
 The towns of Tsinanfu. capital .of Shanse province, Nan Chang, and One Lin are the latest to go over fo the revolutionists and Nankin and Can- ton will probably be next to go. From Canton. the wea1thier citizens have been literally in crowds since Eens Shan's annihflation, yesterday.
 Though confirmation is lacking of reports that Japan ;s concentratfnz troops in Manchuria there seems to be no doubt that the Mikado's represen- tatives in China are trying to carry out some plan which Occidental dfp1o- mats in the country do not very fully understand. Americans and Euro peans here do not exactly see what the Japanese can gain by taking the Man. chu dynasty's side against the over pie and incline rather to the view that big territorial grab is contemplated.
