Chicago, Oct. 29-The romance of
an elopement was wiped out by the
gruesomeness of a brutal murder here
today when MissSophia G. Singer, an
attractive Baltimore girl, was found
slain. Several hundred dollars in
money and iewelry, brought from her
Maryland home to grace her wedding
tomorrow to William R. Worthen,
street car conductor, was missing
and robbery has been accepted as the
motive for the crime.
Worthen discovered the girls body
when he returned home after mid
night to the suite occupied by them
and two vaudeville performers in a
rooming house at 1929 Indiana ave
nue.. Miss Singer had been bound
and gagged and struck with terrific
force with a Chilly" made from an
iron door knob wrapped in hand
kerchief. Her body was embodied in
a blanket
The vaudeville performers, Charles
ID. Conway. said to be a high diver,
and his wife, who also is known as
Beatrice Rail, and May Monte, are
being sought by the police in con
nection with the crime. The body
Of Miss Singer was found on the bed
in the room occupied by them. The
couple had been in the house during
the evening, but no trace Of them has
been found since the discovery of the
body.
According to Worthen, Miss Singer
was an acquaintance Of Mrs. Con
way, who was known to her as Miss
Riall. and 1t was due to the latter's
invitation that he and his sweetheart
went to room at the same house. The

four moved into the rooms where the
murder was committed, only yester-
day They had previously stayed
only a few blocks north of the same
street.
Worthen told the police he had paid
the expenses of the Conways as well
as those Of himself and Miss Singer,
at the rooming house since joining
them Worthen, who was held by
the police, declared that before leav-
ing the house last night, he handed
his fiancee $4S in the presence of the
Conways and then went down town.
It was after midight when he return
ed to the house and found the hall
way spattered with blood He arous-
ed the others in the house by re.
peated pounding on the door leading
to the Conway room after finding
that Miss Singer was not in her
apartment.
A key was finally furnished by
Mrs. Julia Mccarthy, keeper Of the
house, and the door was opened. A
crime was apparent and further in
vestigation showed that the money
he had given the woman was miss
ing, as well as several articles Of jew

which the four had the use Of and
there the table was found covered
with blood, as was the floor. A door

Vienna, Oct. 49, The Montenegrin
troops have cut off supplies from the
Turkish forces in Scutari. where pro
visions already were scarce, accord
ing to dispatch to the Reiche Post
from Scutari by way of Alessio.
The Montenegrins occupy the
heights Of Busate, Rogame and Caz-
tani, all of which overlook Scutar1,
and they have entrenched themselves
there with a strong force OF artillery.
The Malssori tribesmen again at
tackled the Turks to the east Of Sou
tari Friday, but were repulsed after
10 hours fighting. The Turkish com.
mander at Scutari is trying to induce
the Mirdito tribesmen to attack the
Montenegrin troops from the south,
SO that the road to the port Of Ales-
sio could be used as line Of retreat
for the Turkish army IN case Of me-
tcessity.

London, Oct 29.-Exclaiming that
he will stem the onrush of the vic
torious Bulgarian army or perish in
the fight, Nazim Pasha, Turkish min
lister of war, today hurled himself
and four army corps across the path
of King Ferdinand's exultant troops.
His is a perilous position. Though he
still holds the line from Tchorlu to
Lule Burgas, the Bulgarian Invaders
on his right at Eski-Baba have cut
him off from the main army at Ad-
rianople, and the destruction OF a
bridge over the Tcnorlu river pre-
vents his obtaining supplies and rein
forcements from Constantinople.
Should the great turning movement
now being attempted by the Bulgar-
ians be as successful as they plan.
Nazim Pasha would be driven to the
westward and Constantinople, less
than 80 miles away, left at the mercy
of the invaders. Greek, Servian and
Bulgarian columns are moving upon
Saloniki. The Greeks already are
within striking distance of the Turk
isn town OF Verria, only 80 miles from
Saloniki on the railroad from Monas-
tir. The possession of Verria by the
Greeks would not only threaten Sa-
loniki, but cut off the Turkish army
under zeekki Pasha, which was de-
feated by the Servians at Uskup and
is now concentrating at Monastir.
The unofficial reports from Con
stantinople that the Turkish town OF
Servia has been recaptured from the
Greeks is not credited here. Active
diplomatic negotiations are going on
among the powers. The British min
lister at Cettinje, in company with
the Montenegro foreign minister,
visited King Nicholas yesterday at
Rieka and this is regarded as un-
doubtedly in connection with conver-
sations held with the ambassadors OF
the powers in London by Sir Edward
Gray, the British foreign minister.
The diplomats are still hopeful Of
avoiding amy complications between
the powers.
A well informed correspondent of
Vienna telegraphs that Austria does
not contemplate any active interven-
tion and that there exists in the Aus
trian capital well founded hope OF
an improvement in Austro-Servian re-
lations. If this is SO the dangers al
ways expected to arise in Europe
from Balkan war may be avoided.

According to Worthens story, he
met Miss Singer in Baltimore several
months ago while he was employed
theer by street car company. He
said her mother was in comfortable
circumstances. When he decided to
ocme to Chicago with the idea Of To-
eating here, Miss Singer, he said,
expressed a desire to accompany
him. He told the police that he had
spent most of his life on a Maryland
farm near Baltimore with his father,
who still resides there. He is &c
years old.
Worthen was questioned for sever
al hours by the police, who endeavor-
ed to substantiate the facts he first
related. The recital was the same
as his first story. The police searched
Miss Singers trunks and looked
through the effects of Worthen. Moth
ing to throw more light on the murder
was found. IN the girls truck were
some new garments which her fian-
ce said were 0 have been part of

himself on his bed and sobbeG when
he was shown the garments

lsTRATIoN WILL MEAN

Washington, oct. 29.-'No man
! would care to have his state fail him,
but wholly apart from selfish reasons,
want to see Ohio go republican by
a large majority, said President
Taft in a letter to Fred A. Geiger, Of
Cincinnati, made public today at the
White House. The president attack
ed Governor Wilson and the demo-
cratic party on the tariff question
and said that Ohio would suffer par
ticularly if the present tariff protect
ing the steel, wool and pottery busi-
ness were disturbed.
You, of course, realize how disas-
trous the steel bill. which l was COM
PEELED to veto. would have proved to
our state" the letter says. "In their
wool bill the democrats struck vital
blow at the wool industry. The demo-
Gratis reduced the duty on raw wool
to 29 per cent, and, as for the manu-
facturers of wool, the democratic bill
would have put them entirely out OF
business, leaving our farmers with
no home market and throwing hun
dreds of thousands of employes-opt
Of work.
Does it not strike you as supreme
ly ridiculous for Governor Wilson
vaguely to intimate that If he is elect
ed he will make such a general re-
ductio no fduties that business Will
not be injured, when his party has so
recently put itself on record by at
tempting such reckless changes OF
the tariff that had I not vetoed their
measures we would even now be con
ffonted with panic?
"Of course these facts are clearly
realized by the third party, so much
so that some of their most prominent
speakers have not hesitated to declare
that the election of Governor Wilson
would mean financial disaster. And
yet they are working for nothing 9TH
er than the election Of Mr. Wilson
and democratic congress. From abb
solutely dependable sources informa-
ton comes to me that none Of the
leaders Of the third party believes it
has the slightest chance of success,
and that they realize that vote for
it means vote for the democrats.
But they are most of them so filled
with hatred for the republican party,
because it refused to accept their die
tation, that they are willing to bring
disaster upon the whole country SIM
ply to crafty their revenge"
