NO WORD FROM DR.. P0EBEL
U. of p. Professor May Have Fallen
in Europe's Great Carnage.

A letter has been received at the Uni
verslty Museum from Doctor Ungnad,
who last year held the chair Of Assyri-
ology in the University Of Pennsylvania.
While here he translated many tablets
from the Nippur collection. 1t had been
reported he had fallen in the war, but
he declared he was in good health.
On the other hand no word has come
from DR.. Arno Poebel whose book on the
creation and flood tablets and other sub
jects is in press. He went to Breslau
early I'm the summer and is reported to
have Joined a reserve regiment there.
AS many letters have been sent him and
1t was certain that he would have replied
If possible there is a fear that he has
fallen, as the Breslau corps has been in
many battles both east and west and has
suffered heavily.
Museum authorities say that If DIR.
Poebel has fallen it will be a great loss
to archaeology as he was one of the most
distinguished of Sumerian scholars. AL
though born in Germany he got his doc
torate at the University of Pennsylvania
for Assyriology. For two years he was
at the University Museum transatins
and preparing his large volumes which
are soon to appear.

SENATE COMMITTEE
CONSIDERS CHANGES
IN HOUSE WAR TAX
Reduction in Levy on Bank
Capital and Revision Of
Gasoline Clause Among
Proposals.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-The Senate
Finance Committee, when It met today.
had before It proposals for several i'm
portant amendments to the admlnistra-
tion emergency revenue bill, recently
passed by the House.
It has been proposed to reduce the tax
of 81 a thousand on bank capital and
surplus to 81. Some members believe 1t
would be unwise to place heavy bur
den on bank capital at this time because
of disturbed financial conditions due to
the European war
Advocates of this change would revise
the gasoline clause and place tax on
automobiles based on horsepower instead
of the levy of two cents gallon on gas
oline. They say this would make up the
loss of revenue due to the cut in the
bankers tax.
The levy on accident insurance imposed
by the House also may be eliminated and
the committee Is considering readjustlng
the proposed tax on insurance policies

tee were appointed to consider the various
sections. They are I: Tax on Gasoline.

DELAWARE DEMOCRATS
IN REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
Their Votes Causing a FURRY Among.
Politicians as to Intent.

WILMINGTON. Del, Sept. 30.-Did the
Democrats who voted at the Republican
primaries and assisted in nominating the
legislative candidates in a number OF
districts intend to vote for them in the
election, or was there a tick in it? This
Is the question which is now agitatlng
some of the Republicans, and they have
not found an answer, 1t is known that
in this city a large number of Demo-
Gratis either voted or attempted to vote
at the primaries in certain districts. In
one district the vote of one Democrat
was challenged, and there came near be-
inS trouble
In some of the country districts it is
alleged the same thing occurred and some
declare that the "wet" people went be-
hind the Democrats and assisted in maxi
ing the nominations. Some Republicans
arc inclined to think the thing was
trick but others believe the Democrats
are tired of their own party on account
of the hard times and intend to vote the
Republican ticket. For that reason they
took part in the Republican primaries.
Under the primary election laws OF this
State a man who registers within a GER
tain time has right to vote at the pri-
maries which he chooses. but cannot vote
at more than one primary. This year
the Democrats had comparatively few
contests for county offices and for mem
bcrs of the Legislature, and II is this

the conference at Torreon today between
Villa and representatives of Provisional
President CarranSa would avert the up
heaval In Mexico threatened by Villas
declaration of independence and bring
peace at last to the republic.
Dispatches from Mexico carried the
news that Villa, on his way to meet the
ENJOYS of Carranza, had declared that
everything Is working satisfactorily"
and that peace soon would be established
This information caused Secretary Bryan

clare the prospects for the end of strife

ably Fernando Iglesias Calderon-so

CONFESSES KILLING
YOUNG WOMAN CLERK
AND ROBBING STORE
Struck Down Victim With
Hatchet and Stole Contents
of Cash Register Because
He Was Broke"

AKRON, o., Sept 3O-Sullenly refus-
ing to add to his signed confession that
he brutally murdered pretty 23-year-old
Winnie Becker, mission worker, Harry
Boomer, 26 years old, today prepared to
tell his story to the Summit County
Grand Jury.
Boomer with utter calm, police say,
told how he entered the little Barges
street tea store where Winnie Becker
WAS the clerk, how he proposed to rob
the store, she recognized him and he
struck her down, then finished the mur-
der with a heavy steel hatchet; how he
sunk the weapon to the handle in the
victims skull and fed with s62, the con-
tents of the cash register.
IL was broke. / went to the store to
rob II. The girl said, How are you,
Harry7' She stopped over barrel to
get some oatmeal. I struck her. She
said, oh. Harryr Then 1 killed her."
This confession, police say, is in the
hands of County Prosecutor H. +.
Castle and will be presented to the
Summit County Grand Jury which Is
now in session.
Boomer formerly worked in the tea
store, and knew the routine of the
establishment. He waited until Fred NJ.
Becker, the proprietor and brother of the
dead girl, left the place, then entered
and carried out what police say Is one of
the most wanton murders in the history
of Ohio criminal annals.
He confessed how in primitive manner
he fashioned a rude tomahawk of wood
that ne found in a lumber yard. This
weapon, the confession says, was aban-
doned when the murderer found a heavy
steel hatchet hanging on the wall of the
little back room where he attacked his
victim.
A modern cash register proved the key
of solution to the murder mystery. Three
persons knew the combination to the
electric apparatus. These were Boomer,
Miss Becker and her brother, the pro-
prietor. Suspicion naturally pointed to
Boomer. He was found at his home last
night, and after brief struggle, in
which he attempted suicide with newly
purchased revolver he surrendered and

appearance had resulted in a great inn
provement in her mothers condition. Mrs.
Keating recently was operated on for
