Slain Man Was a Prominent New
Yorker, Well Known us Social
Worker, While tlie Wounded Wo-
man 1h Believed to Ite the Wife
of u Business Mail of Chicago.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 27.—
The wounded companion of J. C.
Graveur, prominent Now York social
worker and garage owner, who was
shot anil killed by Mrs. Harry Belzer,
a discarded sweetheart, who then com-
mitted suicide in a hotel here early to-
day, continued late tonight to main-
tain th(5 silence which she has kept
ever since the triple shooting. Al-
though she Could not be drawn into
any admission, the police are con-
vinced that she is the wife of Joseph
C. Leduc, a well known Chicago busi-
ness man, who is reported to be on
his way here to make the identifica-
tion. Mrs. Hobart Mann of Brooklyn,
said to bo her sister, visited her in
the hospital tonight, but refused to
make known the identity of the
wounded whom, who is still In a crit-
ical condition.
Graveur, according to investigations
made .by tho police today, left New
York on an automobile tour on Sept.
12, while on Sept. 19 a "Mrs. Leduc,
Chicago," registered at the Hotel The-
resa in this city. Whether this is the
same woman who accompanied him
hero or a different Mrs. Leduc, the
police were unable to determine. Sev-
eral articles of clothing worn by
Graveur's companion bear the trade-
mark of Chicago shops.
Receipted bills found in Graveur's
possession show that he and his com-
panion had spent Friday and Satur-
day in Atlantic City.
Cards bearing Mrs. Leduc's name
wore found in tho handbag carried by
Mrs. liolzer, and It was at first sup-
posed that that was her name.
Leduc Goes to Philadelphia.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 27.—Fearing
that the woman who was severely
wounded in a sensational shooting af-
fair in a Philadelphia hotel may prove
to be his wife, Joseph C. Leduc, man-
ager of the local branch of a New
York mercantile house, left today for
Philadelphia. Before going he noti-
fied Mrs. Leduc's sister, Mrs. Charles
Vogeding, that he had been notified
that Mrs. Leduc was seriously ill.
Mrs. Vogeding said her sister had
loft here two weeks ago to visit rela-
tives in New York and that she in-
tended to visit Philadelphia on her
way home. She said that her sister's
domestic life had always been happy.
Similar statements were made by tho
Janitor of the Leduc apartment and
by neighbors.
Leduc is an amateur golfer, well
known throughout the west. He has
participated in several western ama-
teur championship tournaments and
formerly was a member of the lOdge-
water club, where his rating was next
to "Chic" Evans.
Mrs. Leduc had told her husband
that she planned to motor from New
York, according to Mrs. Vigedlng.
She wrote:
"Mr. Graveur is going to drive me
from New York to Philadelphia in his
car. You know I do not care much
for him. but I will go for your sake."
Mrs. Leduc was married about six-
teen years ago. She was known here
bs a concert singer of some ability
md had appeared in numerous pri-
vate recitals. Recently she had had
i nervous breakdown and had taken
up golf to restore her health, Mrs.
Vogeding declared.

INCREASED REVENUES DUE TO
WAR IV EUROPE, ASSERTS
PRESIDENT RIPLEY.
NEW YORK Sept. 27.—Tho Atchi-
son. Topeka & Santa Fc Railway com-
pany for the year ending June 30 last
reports operating revenues or gross
earnings of $13-3,762,392, an increase
of slightly more than $16,000,000 over
the preceding year; operating ex-
penses of $83,730,360, an increase of
about $7,600,000 and net operating
revenues of $50,031,432 an increase of
$8,4 57,398.
Neither the company nor any of its
subsidiaries has any notes or bills out-
standing and the company had in its
treasury at the end of the fiscal year
cash to tho amount of $44,364,922.
Net income of $45,109,468 available
for interests, etc., plus sundry profit
and loss adjustments aggregating
$202,638 represents about 6.19 per
cent on the property investment.
The operation of the load war)
marred during tho year by threo dis-
asters-—the tropical storm which
flooded Galveston, an explosion at
Ardmore, Okla., both causing serious
loss of lifi> and property, and an ex-
traordinary rainfall in California and
Arizona, these resulting in a loss of
$2,000,000 to $.',500,000 which was
charged to operating expenses.
President Ripley's Statement.
In his general remarks President
Edward P. Ripley said in part:
"Close analysis of operations for the
year clearly indicates tho enhanced
earnings to be almost wholly due to
the war in Europe. Even the things
apparently remote can be traced to
this source. On the Pacific coast
there is no shipping for Atlantic ports,
resulting, of course, in the greatly in-
creased tonnage by rail—in Arizona
and New Mexico the copper and zinc
industries have had abnormal stimu-
lation—the demand for foodstuffs has
produced large prices for a heavy
grain crop, thus creating largo pur-
chasing power—the oil industry (of
great and increasing importance) has
felt the interruption of supplies from
old world sources and the enormous
increase in the use of gasoline—in fact
business of all kinds has been stimu-
lated to such an extent that there have
practicully been no dull periods dur-
ing the entire year. So abnormal has
the business been that it will doubt-
less be several years before we again
reach the volume of the year past."
In the course of his report Presi-
dent Ripley remarked:
Road's Most Prosperous Year.
"The striking fact emphasized by
the foregoing statement is that the
earnings on the entire investment dur-
ing this, tho most prosperous year of
the company's history, are but little
over 6 per cent per annum, and it
must be borne in mind that of these
earnings it is necessary to appropri-
ate a substantial- amount «»eh year
for improvements and betterments.
"The ability to pay 6 per cent on
the common stocks is due to the .fact
that it pays an average only slightly
more than 4 per cent on its bonded
debt, much of the debt having been
created when money could be obtain-
ed near 4 per cent"
Mr. Ripley characterized tho Okla-
homa two cent passenger rate law as
"iniquitous" and declarer! that a con-
siderable amount had been spent in
contesting the provision in the federal
court. "The evidence is now all In,"
he continued, "and while no decision
has as yet been rendered we feel it
will be in favor of the Company. A
similar rate is in force in Kansas and
In all probability similar litigation will
be necessarry in that state,"

shing's headquarters in Mexico, ill

popular belief that tho country is fac-
ing the greatest crisis in its history
calm expectancy reigns in Athens. The

he says if the king decides to defend
Hellenic soil against the Invaders he
will be glad to turn over the forces h'S

tween the king and M. Venizelos has
already been established through the
former minister of war, General
Yanikltsas, and that the outlook is
favorable for an early arrangement of
the difficulties at present dividing
Greece. The greatest blow to King
Constantino has been the departure of
Admiral Coundouriotls who after the
sovereign is the most distinguished
national hero.

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE,
Sept 26.—(Via London, Sept. 27.)--
The capture of Comhles was one of
the most picturesque Incidents In the
whole course of the great Somme of-
fensive It marked the opening of
today's forward surge of the British
and French forces, which reached its
climnx In the capture of Gueudecourt
ami Thlepval.
All night long bitter fighting had
been In progress nt various points on
the front and with dawn the brittle
broadened to Include the whole Brit-
ish loft, Comhles fell ns the sun rose
on a perfect summer day. . Sitting In
a heap of hills the town was Isolated
yesterday by the seizing of the high
ground on either side by tho French
and British. In the early hours of
the morning the British took an
orchard In the outskirts and then
after a heavy preliminary shelling
they charged the trenches on the edge
of the village. The trenches were
empty when they reached them. At
the same time the French, dashing
forward on the other side of the vil-
lage, pushed victoriously forward In
to the heart of the village. In the
main street the soldiers of the two
nations met and Joyously shook hands,
calling out to flnch other, "parlez
voux," and "how d'ye do."
Strong Fori mentions.
Cnmblos had a labrynth of well
fortified collars, but at the last prac-
tically no defense was made. Those
Germans who had not managed to
escape when the town was hopelessly
surrounded were taken prisoners. One
group of Germans endeavoring to find
a way through the encircling allied
Infantry walked Into the British skir-
mishing line. The cellars and dugouts
of the village were full of wounded
who found security there from tho
furious fighting on the slopes and
ridges.
One of the most striking features
of the fighting last night and today
was the surprisingly slight resistance
at Morval and Comhles by the Ger-
mans. according to all reports made
by the British officers. Tho Germans
made tho usual counter attacks
against the British now positions last
night, but the reports of the allied of-
ficers to headquarters agree that they
lacked spirit. Some German trenches
taken yesterday were lightly occupied
or not at all. Tn other Instances tho
allied commanders stated that con-
siderable bodies of Germans throw
down their rifles promptly as soon as
the attackers appeared and approach-
ed their trenches, although It was
known that they had orders to stand
to the last. Batches of prisoners
have been coming In from all parts
of the front throughout the day.
German Guns Withdrawn.
In their attack yesterday the Brit-
ish found the strongest defenses made
in front of Gueudecourt. There the
Germans used their machine guns
with tlie tenacity and unyielding cour-
age, which has hitherto characterised
them. The British resumed the at-
tack today and tonight all tho vil-
lage Is in their possession. Both to-
day and yesterday tho Germans show-
ed an inclination to withdraw their
guns immediately (hoy wore In any
danger, evidently desiring to take no
risk of losing any of their artillery.
This sometimes loaves their troops
in the front line unprotected by can-
non fire and may account for tho
number of surrenders.
In the meantime tho liritl-h con-
tinue to pound the whole line with
their seemingly Inexhaustible supply
or shells.
About midday today the British left
had its turn in the region of Thlep-
val, at the other extreme of the battle
front near Comhles. Hero tho fight-
ing lino joins the old German front
trench lino and tho Germans In their
dugouts and galleries have fought
with the skill and stubbornness which
characterizes them In this kind of
warfare. "They stick like glue to
those dugouts," said one British sol-
dier, "because they know that onco
they are pushed back we do not givu
thorn time to dig any mole."
Village a Heap of Ruins.
A blackish heap of dirt on the crest
of a ridge is all that remains of Thlep-
val. !>n the top of that heap there
still rise a few blacq sticks, tree
trunks, slivered and hewn by ' 11«11 -
fire, which have escaped being down,
od by a direct hit. On July 1, the
first day of the great offensive, the
British tried to take Thlepval and
failed, tin this height to the north
the whole Anglo-French movement
pivots to the bank of the Somme.
The British, In fierce little attacks
now and then, have whittled and sap-
ped their way ' toward that precious'
high ground, the capture of which
extends the German front of defense
and endangers other German posi-
tions Hand to hand, bomb to bomb,
with every stock of modern trade of
war, Germans and British have fought
over these seamed slopes as it the war
itself was to be decided here. To-
night after another effort, practically
all of tho village, the whole defense
and siege of which cost more .thous-
ands of lives than any in France, Is
In British possession. The success is
a soilrse of greater satisfaction to the
average British soldier than the tak-
ing of Comhles or any other village or
strong point in the nearly three
months of continuous fighting.
French View of Comhles' Fall.
Paris, Sept. 27.—The capture of
Comhles with its great booty com-
pletes what, is rgarded by military ex-
perts here as one of the most bril-
liantly executed operations of the
summer campaign. The whole front
of attack from Martlnpulch to the
Somme has been pushed forward uni-
formly for more than a mile. Military
observers declare that the fullness of
the success proves that the allies arc
incontestably masters of the situation.
Since Sept. 16 tho Germans had
brought up three fresh divisions
against the FVench front and the
game number against the British. On
the twentieth they made a desperate
effort to retake oBouchavesries. Not
only did they fail, but five days later

Fair Students Are
Vexed By Mashers
and Police Step In
BERKELEY, Sept. 27.—Berkeley is
suffering from a scourge of "mash-
ers," some of whom are bunging
around the university gates and ac-
costing co-eds as they leave the
campus. Tills is rather a novel ex-
perience for the women students here,
who have in the past felt exception-
ally safe from masculine annoyance
In tho university town.
However, there have been numerous
complaints since tho fall term of col-
lego opened, and tho dean of women,
Miss Lucy Stebbins, has decided to
ask the police department for a spec-
ial "mashers' detail."
Chief of Police Vollmer said this
morning that his men were on tho
lookout for "mashers," and that any
who were captured would receive
short shrift from the authorities.
It Is believed that some of tho
principal offenders are students, who
are not familiar with the unhenlthful-
noss of "mashing" in this community.

Makers of Shells
NEW YORK, Sept. 27 —Tho E. W.
Bliss company, manufacturers of
•shells and torpedoes, declared an ex-
tra dividend of 100 per cent in cash
on the common stock. This was the
second 100 per cent dividend this year,
the other being paid on July 1.
The company last year earned $5,-
032,000, the equivalent of more than
4115 per cent on the $1,250,000 com-
mon stock. Since January 1, 226 VI
per cent has been declared, including
extras of 11 'A per cent in March and
June.
The twenty mile battle arc run-
ning from the Ancro river to the
Somme Is rapidly being transformed
by tho great offensive of the en-
tento allies into an Irregular trian-
gulur wedse In the German line, with
tin- bases respectively tn front of
Thlepval and west of I'eronne and
the point projecting across the Be-
tliune road and into the St. Pierre
Vaist wood.
On the British end of the line In
the region of Thlepval and east-
ward, to the north of Flers, the Brit-
ish in Wednesday's fighting gained
further successes over the Germans
and likewise the French east and
southeast of Rancourt drove their
troops forward and entered the St.
Piorro Vaast wood.
To tho south of this region from
Bouchavesnes to tho southern edge
of the Bois L'Abbo farm, the French
were compelled to face a violent
attack by the Germans, which was
beaten off. tho Germans being thrown
back in disorder, according to Paris.

trenches on a front of 200 yards
north of Flers and a strong redoubt
on a hill 2,000 yards northeast of
Thlepval. To the northwest across
tho Ancro successful raids were car-
ried out by the British opposite
Boaumont-llamel.
Ten thousand prisoners have fallen
Into tho hands of the British In the
last fortnight's fighting on tho
Sonune front, according to London.
Thero Is still little news coming
from the Russian and Austro-Gcr-
man war offices concerning tho
fighting on tho eastern front. Pet-
rograd asserts that aside from skirm-
ishes at various points, thero Is noth-
ing to report. Berlin, however, rec-
ords tho repulse of a Russian at-
tack in Gallcia near Ludova with
heavy casualties to the Russians.
Battles In Roumanla.
On tho Roumanian front battles
are taking place at various points
near tho Translyvanla border. Ber-
lin reports progress for the Teutonic
allies near Hernianstadt, while Bu-
charest chronicles the defeat of the
A ustro-Gormans iti the Jlu valley
and their hasty letreat north and
northwest. Quiet prevails in the
liobrudja region.
According to the Bulgarian war
office tho Bulgarians have forced
hack tho troops of tho entente al-
lies over the whole front in Mace-
donia. Paris, however, says throe
violent Bulgarian attacks on Kaim-
akcalan height were repulsed with
heavy losses,
Greek Situation Uncertain.
Artillery duels continue along most
of tho Austro-ltallan front. In tho
fighting ill Asiatic Turkey Pctrograd
claims successes for tho Russians
along tho Black sea coast, In Ar-
menia near Glumiohan and on the
Persian front in the vicinity of Ham-
dan.
What Is to bo tho final attitude
of Greece in the war is still uncer-
tain. The latest unofficial report
from Athens, however, is that the
Greek government, in asreement
with King Constantino, has decided
on military co-operation with tho
entente powers.
British Troops Advance.
London, Sept. 2S, 12:27 a. in.—Ger-
