Inc MOTIVE YET REVEALED
The Police Investigation Shows That
the Woman Doctor Was Put to
Death by Some Person Well
Known to Her.

indianapolis, Oct. 20. The police think
DR.. Helene Knabe, the former state bac-
teriologist, who was found dead in bed
with her throat cut Tuesday, was muir
dered by some acquaintance and that she
voluntarily let this person into her
apartment.
Search was taken up yesterday for a
motive for her murder. Handsome and
of brilliant intellectual attachments as
she was, the police after a nights work
were unable TO discover that she mad
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 assumed that the heavy
slash that almost severed her head was
struck as she lay in bed. There was
no trail OF blood on the floor
DT Knabes assistant, Miss Katherine
Mcpherson, said that her practice was
increasing daily and that she was in
cheerful humor

NO PEACE
IN SIGHT.
Condition Of Turkey Presents
Obstacle
THIS CAN BE OVERCOME
By Two Remedies--one Is the Coercion
of Italy by Allies-The Other Is
the Reversion of Power to the
Sultan.
THIS CAN BE OVERCOME

Constantinople, Oct. 26.-owing to
the extraordinary condition of affairs
here, the conclusion Of peace between
Turkey and Italy seems to have been
adjourned. The very weakness OF those
who at present govern Turkey is the
main obstacle to peace. The governing
committee is losing its prestige and its
courage and could not, even ii it wished
to do so, take ON its shoulders the
responsibility of making peace. Ii
therefore sits tight and does nothing
that is to say, it allows the war to
continue. Peace is possible under two
conditions coercion OF Italy by a
combination of her allies and friends or
the reversion to the sultan of the reins
Of the government Of Turkey, since
there is no other authority capable of
assuming the responsibility of eonclud-
ing peace based on the loss Of the
last African possession of the Ottoman
empire.

AUSTRIA BLAMES TURKEY.
Says Advice Given by Austria Hungary
Was Disregarded.

New York, Oct. 2G.-The war between
Italy and Turkey was the first subject
brought mp at the opening session OF the
Austrian Reichstag Tuesday, according
to a special cable to The Sun. The pre-.
mier in replying to a question said that
the decision OF the Italian government
to proceed peremptorily to settlement
of the Tripoitan question could be as
cribed to the fact that Turkey failed to
appreciate the advice given TO her by
Austria Hungary in favor of an agree.
ment with Italy on economic interests
in Tripoli
The Austro- Hungarian government be-
lieved, the premier said, that mediation
between the two countries at present
was impossible Austria Hungary, he
said, had every reason for accepting as
sincere and loyal Italy's statement that
she was resolved to exclude the Turkish
coasts in the Adriatic and Ionian seas
from her war operations.

NO DIVIDEND REDUCTION.
Pres. Mellen Tells New Haven Stockhold-
ers Such Action Never Considered.

New Haven. Conn, Oct. 26.-The pres.
emit board of directors of the New York
New Haven & Hartford railroad com
pany was reelected at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders Of the company
yesterday. J. Pierpont Morgan was not
present for the first time in several
years.
President Mellen said;
81 do not see any reason for consider
ing a reduction of dividends at present.
OF course ! cannot see into the future.
If | could would own railroad, in
stead of operating one"
At great length Mr.. Mellen explained
to stockholders that whereas a deficit
appeared in the annual report, an actu-
al surplus of fully 100000 could have
been shown.
While admitting that the company had
not been doing as well as he would
like, Mr.. Mellen declared that dividends
had been more easily earned in the last
eight years than in the previous eight.
He had before him a compilation of earn
ings of all operating companies in the
New Haven system, covering the past
four years. the net result of which was
a surplus of s327,7s6
Referring to the dividend question,
President Mellen said: "The dividend
should be made as secure as possible, and
all directors are with me in this matter.
There has been no consideration what.
ever Of any reduction at this time"
The stockholders approved the lease by
the New Haven company of the Chatham
railroad company, which since its con-
struction has been operated by the Old
Colony railroad.
President Mellen explained that hith-
erto the lease had been based on the
percentage OF gross business, but as has
often been the case, while the gross
has increased, the net has decreased, and
it seemed more equitable to establish
regular rental basis. This will amount
to per cent. per annum on S6s,200
capital stock.
