.CONFESSES MURDER
 . .OF DR. HELEN KNAbE
Seth Nicols Says Another Paid Him $12OO to Kill
 Indiana Scientist

Portsmouth. N. H.. April 1.-Seth Nicols, a sailor, arrested here Saturday on a charge of holding up bartender to get drink has confessed, the police say, to the mut of Dr. Helen Knabe at Indianapolis, some months ago. Nicols said he did the deed at the instigation of another whose name he declines to give and says he was paid $12OO to do it, according to the police story.
 Nicols Is 22 years of age and has been in Portsmouth on several occasions, the last time shortly before the mysterious murder at Indianapolis. He came here again last week to visit friends.
 Indianapolis, April 1.-Police officials and detectives who have been working to solve the mystery surrounding the death of Dr. Helen Knabe since October 24 1911, the day her body was found in her apartments with the throat gashed, do not give much credence to the story told by Seth Nicols, under arrest at Ports- mouth, N. H. It is believed, however. they know more facts than they care to give out.
 Nicols was here at the time of the murder visiting a sister. Several persons about the apartment house were arrested at the time of the physicians death. but little evidence against them was obtained.
 Women's clubs of this city have offered a reward of 5000 for the capture and con- viction of the wonan's slayer.

of power by the Estrada revolution, have never forgiven the United States for the influence 1t exerted at that time. Some In the party flooded the county with in- iammatory leaflets attacking the United States government and MT. Knox and the liberal papers in Managua waged a bit- ter campaign against the visit up to the day preceding the arrival of MT. Knox, when most of their editors were put in jail, where they remained until the Sec retary of State had left the city. Gen. Rodolfo Espinosa. perhaps the biggest man among the liberals, now an exile in Costa Rlca, called upon the Secretary Of State during the latter's stay at San Jose and besought him to use his influ- ence to prevent the persecution of ub- erals by the conservatives in Nicaragua. Of course, the Secretary of State could not meddle in the affair, but he would have been better pleased if the conserva- tives had used less strenuous means to protect him from insult
 AS a matter of fact, when the agita- ton was closely analysed 1t appeared that the feeling was less anti-American than anti-government, and many liberals called upon the Secretary of State in Managua, disavowed the inf1ammatory utterances and insisted that their grievance was against the conservatives, who, they de- clared had failed to fulfill their promises for reform. Many denied that they wished Zelayaism restored. It also seemed plain that the out and out anti-Americanism was confined chiefly to the uninformed, who in their ignorance of the real policy of the United States had been easily made to believe that the visit of the Secretary of State was the forerunner of American occupation. This belief has been found among the less informed in other coun- tries visited.

Eagle. Pass, Tex, April 1.-Both the rebels and the federals reached Berme- jnlo yesterday and then retreated with out fight, according to reports reaching here today. Orozco's army was coming south from Jiminez on the march to Tor reon, and when the northern outskirts of Bermejillo was reached, scouts were sent forward.
 Meanwhile the federal army coming up from Torreon had reached the southern outskirts of Bermejillo and sent out it's scouts.
 The scouts of each army to their sur- prise, discovered the force of the enemy. but could not tell how strong 1t was. Consequently Orozoo hastily entrained for Jiminez and the federals marched back to Torreon.
