SEEK CLUE TO
W0MAN'S DEATH
Detectives Search For Secret
Of Dr.. Knabe'S Life.
ASSISTANT IS QUESTIONED
indianapolis Police Have No Clue to
Account For Her Mysterious Muir
der-Probine Suicide Theory.

The detectives in their efforts to
solve the mystery surrounding the
murder of DR.. Helene Knabe, former
state bacteriologist, who was found
with her throat slashed from ear to
ear in her apartment in Indianapolis,
Ind, took to police headquarters for
examination Augusta Knabe, q cousin,
and Katherine Mcpherson, assistant
to the dead physician.
Why there was a delay of over an
hour in summoning the police after
Mcpherson and what we're the condi
tions in detail were questions put to
the two women. After Miss McPher-
son entered Dir. Knabe's fiat and saw
her body, with the gaping wound In
the throat, she stated she first called
by telephone Augusta Knabe from her
home.
Augusea Knabe lives in distant
part of the city The dead woman,
Miss Mcpherson said, was lying on
the bed, on her back, without cover.
Her night dress was wadded under
her arms. Miss Mcpherson added that
she pulled the night dress down over
Dr. Knabe's body before the arrival
of physicians, who she summoned be-
fore the police were notified. This ac-
ton, the detectives said, would explain
the presence OF blood on Dr. Knabe's
left leg, for the night dress was soak.
ed with blood as II lay crumpled un-
der her chin.
The windows in the room were
closed and locked and the furniture
was in order. No weapon of any kind
was found. and the only ingress and
egress would have been by the dumb
waiter to the basement, and this would
not admit the body of man.
Miss Mcpherson and Miss Knabe
were with the body of DIR. Knabe for
nearly an hour before the arrival OF
DR.. Ernest Reyer. who was the first
of DR.. Knabe's other friends to enter
the apartment. Miss Mcpherson de-
MED emphatieally, as did Miss Knabe,
that she saw knife that might have
been used in killing the physician.
The detectives turned to investiga-
tion of a theory that DR.. Knabe might
have ended her own life and that
some of the group of her friends as
sembled in the fiat before the police
inquiry got under way may have
sought to take away evidences of sui
eide
Handsome and of brilliant intellect
ual attainment as she was, the police
after much hard work were unable to
discover that she had either an enemy
or an intimate man friend. The theory
of suicide seemed untenable because
the knife with which DR.. Knabe was
killed was not found and the coroner
is sure the heavy slash that almost
severed her head was struck as she
lay in bed. There was no trail of blood
on the floor DR.. Knabe's assistant,
Miss Mcpherson, said that her prac-
tice was increasing daily and that she
was in cheerful humor.
The coroner having found no evi-
dence of a personal attack and there
being no indications of robbery, the
police sought to find secret places in
Or. Knabes life. They believed that |
the murder was done by a person that |
entered the door, not window, OF |
the apartment did his work and de-
parted through the door.

Athens the Seat Of Learning.

1t may be said unhesitatingly that
the country which has produced the
greatest men In literature and philos-
ophy, art and architecture is Greece
In the little state of Attica-not much
larger than Greater New York-true
civilization and all that goes along
with 1t We're born. All that has been
done since the "age of Pericles" has
been simply the carrying out of the
ideas, principles and methods laid
down by the men who won Marathon
and Salami, Platea and Mycale. Gal
ton, high authority, does not hesitate
to say that Athens and the little state
of which 1t was the capital produced
more first class intellects than have
since been produced by all the world
put together.-New York American.

OUR EARLY CURRENCY.
The First American Coins and the
Series Struck at Boston.

Series Struck at Boston.
The very earliest coinage that can
properly be said to be strictly Ameri-
can" was ordered by the original Vir-
ginia company in the year 1912, only
five years after the founding of James
town. These coins were minted ut
Somers islands, now known as the Ber-
mudas. For a period OF more than a
quarter of century after this, how
ever, tobacco and beaver skins were
reckoned as lawful currency.
In 1645 the assembly of Virginia
met and declared that 1t had mature
ly weighed ana considered how ad-
vantageous quoine (coin) would be
to this colony and how much better
1t would be than sole dependency
upon tobacco and pelts." After this
they provided for the coinage of cop
per coins of the denominations of two
pence, threepence, sIxpence and nine
penc, but this resolution was never
carried into effect.
The first coinage In America proper
was the series of coins ''struck" at
Boston under the order of the general
court of Massachusetts passed May
81, 1852, the coins being three, six and
twelve pence denominations, ''in forme
flatt and stamped on one side with the
letters N. E. and on the other the
value of the piece"

"Fixina" the Ball Grounds.

Hugh s. Fullerton, the baseball ex-
pert, tells In the American Magazine
of the queer ethics Of the national
game. He writes:
Fixing the grounds so as to give
the home team the advantage and
handicap the visiting players is the
commonest form of trickery, yet in
professional ball 1t Is not considered
wrong, any more than commander
OF defensive army would consider
1t wrong to prepare breastworks to
meet an enemy. The extent to which
the fixing Of grounds is carried is
amazing. There probably is not a
major or minor league grounds in the
country on which the home players
have not the advantage, and visiting
teams are forced to be on the alert
from the moment they enter field
to discover, IL possible, what they are
up against"

Ely. the Aviator, Falls to Death.

ely, tHe ANiatofs FdttS 10 OedtH.
Eugene Ely, the aviator. was fatally
injured at the state fair grounds at
Macon, Ga, when his machine failed
to rise from sensational dip and
plunged with him fifty feet to the
ground.
Ely fell in the presence of nearly
5000 persons to the middle of the in
closure of the race track, after almost
clearing the machine by desperate
leap when he realized his peril
He died a few minutes later, re-
gaining consciousness just before the
end long enough to mutter:
Il lost control; | know | am going
to die"
He cireled the track at about thirty
miles an hour. AS he was completing
the circuit he made dip.
The machine shot down with tre-
mendous velocity and the crowd ap-
plauded. thinking the aviator would
rise, as he had done many times be-
fore. But Ely seemed to lose his grip,
for the machine continued its down
ward plunge and he attempted to rise
from his seat. In fact, he released the
lever altogether and half jumped,
barely clearing the aeroplane as 1t
crashed to the ground. The machine
was demolished and Ely struck with
terrible force

Nine Dead In Mine Explosion.

Nine men were killed, ten grayely
wounded were carried up by rescuers
and fifteen more were imprisoned by a
eave-in as result of the explosion of
a keg of powder which ignited black
damp in O'Gara mine. No. Q, a mile
south of Harrisburg, Ill.
That more lives were not lost was
due to the fact that the shift was
changing when the explosion occurred.
Two men were instantly killed and
seven others. sent to the surface, died
within an hour.
The detonation of the explosion
warned the town of the accident. The
fears of the wives and children of the
miners were confirmed when they saw
two ambulances rushed toward the
mine, followed In few minutes by an
automobile containing physicians and
nurses.

says: General Yin Tchang, at the

The hills in the vicinity of the pass

The imperial general ordered re
