IN LONELY GRAVE f Wife Remains Away From His Funeral and Will Go Back to Stage. 4, ,' f MRS. WOODILL DRUGGED? I Theory Advanced "Larae Bob" East man Liured Woman to His Half Completed Bungalow and Held Her Against Her Will. ST. MICHAKLS, Md., June 27. The theory that Edith May Woodill was lured to "Iame Bob" Eastman's lonely bunga low without knowledge or where she was Colng and that she was drugged and de tained there against her will, was ad vanced today when a further search of the shack revealed a small battle that contained a mixture of narcotic drugs. Today's Investigations Jed the authori ties further away from the idea that any one other than Eastman could have In vited friends from New York or from any other place to visit his bungalow. In the condition It was In. The place, only hrlf completed, offered no accommoda tions for visitors whatsoever.- Lonely Funeral Held. In a grave not 50 feet from the scene of the crime, Eastman's body was laid away today. The undertakers and their assist ants, several newspaper men and a few morbid persons were the only ones at the grave. Mrs. Eastman, staying 12 miles away at Easton, exprer-ied no desire to attend the funeral. No church or church yard of the vicinity would open Its doors or gates to the dead man. Bystanders Repeat Prayer. When the henrse had drawn up along side the gravo, four men lifted the casket from the vehicle and placed It temporarily on two planks stretched across the grave Into which a pine box had already been lowered. There was an awkward pause. One of the undertakers said: "Gentlemen, It seems to me that some one should say a little word of prayer. Won't one of you?" Ilia glance fell upon James Sutton, a merchant of Bozeman. "You are ' a church-member, Mr. Sut ton," said the undertaker, "won't you ay it?" Woman Going Back to Stage. Sutton hesitated for a moment, then, afklng all to Join with him, repeated the Lord's prayer. There still exists a strong belief among several members of the conorer's Jury that others than Eastman and Mrs. Woodll! were In the bungalow at the time of the murder. It was hinted tonight that one or more arrests may be made. It was further In timated fhat the arrest would be at St. Michaels or Baltimore. Mrs. Eastman, widow of the alleged murderer, says sh will return to the stage to earn a living for hersedf and child. BOATS TAKE IN SUPPLIES Copper River Railroad to Work 3000 Men All Winter.

Built for Outdoor Occasions, TaHors Say It Will Just Swing Into Favor. NEW YORK, June 27.a-(Speclal.) Now it is the "trouserette gown " In a short time, it is averred by . the leading tailors of this city, this latest innovation will be as common - along Fifth avenue and at Newport as are the paving stones. . But it promises to cre ate a. very considerable stir at the first. The trouserette" differs from the pantaloon" in that it has no train, and is in every way suitable for street wear; Is. indeed, fashioned especially for that. That the "seatless gown' talked of by Samuel Paull at the con vention of tailors held at Boston, can possibly rival It Is laughed at by all the prominent New York tailors. Yes terday they all expressed disgust at Mr. Paull's Idea, and declared that no woman would be seen in such a gown as he suggested. "Absolute tommyrot," was the com ment of Harry Helmerdinger, one of New York's foremost designers In commenting upon Mr. Paull's sche'me. "American women don't want American fashions. He's all wrong. What they want is something striking, like the Empire, and the more Paris labels it's got th-3 better it goes with them. Do you think the American woman who has carefully trained her figure for well, we won't say how many years, Is going to take up something which ab solutely annuls all that hard work and wear and.-tear on the system? Well, I guess not." That was practically what all the others consulted thought. In commenting further on what will find favor with the fair sex. Mr. Helm erdinger sprang some entirely- new wrinkles In the .way of feminine ap parel. "There's the article you are going to find at Newport and along the roads which lead thither." said he. As he pronounced the words a young woman stepped suddenly from behind a cur tain, arrayed in what was at least much like a pair of trousers in appear ance, with a conventional bodice. "That is the new trouserette gown, which, in a few days, will be the talk of the country." said Mr. Helmerdinger. ' Don't talk to me about seatless ar rangements. In this you can sit down, stand up, ride horseback. Jump fences, play tennis, or do anything else." The gown, when the wearer is in motion, has all the appearance of an ordinary walking skirt, except that from the knees down it is divided, like a pair of trousers. This does away with the necessity of long petticoats, makes walking easier and freer, and is much cooler than anything her lady ship of fashion has exhibited thus far in her checked, dotted, dappled, mot tled, plaided career.

SCHOOL FOR BOYS Discusses Her Present' Poverty-stricken Condition of Only $100 Day. NOT GOING ON STAGE Refuses Offer of $1000 Week' From Vaudeville Circuit and Says She Will Worry Along Plans to Sell Jewels and Furs. NEW TORK, June 27. (Special.) Although Mrs. Howard Gould was not exactly pleased with the verdict which allowed her $36,000 alimony from her millionaire husband, she is not at all down-hearted and will make the best of her opportunities.

With many a smile. she told of the economies a woman must practice who suddenly finds her allowance cut from $10,000 a month to $100 a day. "How are you going to worry along on that sum?" Mrs. Gould was asked. Perhaps I shall farm it." she said with a smile. "Perhaps I shall raise onions and potatoes on my Virginia farm." "But you are not allowed to work without risking an application by your husband for court permission to cut your alimony," she was reminded. "I can't go back on the stage, to be sure, she went on briskly. "But I don't think even Howard Gould would ask for a discount for my farm earn ings. The chance to return to the stage came quickly enough on the heels of the decision. It was not dark before an agent for a theatrical firm came Wlong with an offer." Mrs. Gould showed a written proposal that she go on the vaudeville stage for 40 weeks at $1000 a week, cash ln ad vance. "You are not going to take it?" was asked. : "I have already declined, although $1000 a week would come in handy in helping out a poverty-stricken alimony wife like myself. No; I would not go into vaudeville for anything, and you can say that I have no present Inten tion of returning to the stage in any capacity. I shall economize." "In,a year -or two, when Howard pays the bills. I will probably have a wind fall ln the shape of $50,000 worth of Jewels and my outfit of furs, which is now held in Paris for charges. There is one sable coat among the furs which cost $8000. I'll probably never have another, but I won't mind wearing that one out. "I never was excessively fond of Jew tJ, u 1 on't need so many- now it J ave but a 3000 a month to if .Jm fioln8rto sell part of them when the opportunity comes, and go h.my Plan 'or a training school farm " yS &t the Blue .Gap BIG DITCH READY SOON Grants Pass Farmers Will TJse Water for This Year's Crops.

TWO SENATE VOTES NEEDED House Not Rushing Impeachment Proceedings in Hope That Sen ate Will Pass Palmer Bill and Wind TJp Session. OLYMPIA, Wash., June 27. (Special.) There Is small prospect of the Legis lature accomplishing much of anything when It meets tomorrow afternoon. Ad ministration desires seem centered on passing the Palmer bill abolishing the office of the Insurance Commissioner, in the Senate, but In the face of things they are two votes shy, with one more temporarily gone, for Senator Paul hamus' lather-in-law died this morning, and the Senator will not return to the Capitol until Wednesday. Hence there Is nothing for the Senate to do save to wait for the impeachment articles to arrive from the House, and it Is safe to say that the administration forces controlling the House, will not let those articles go over until hope of passing the Palmer bill has been practically abandoned. Speaker Meigs is holding off the ap pointment of his committee of seven to draft the articles. He says he will not announce the committee until tomor row. Then no one can legitimately ob ject to the committee taking two or three days to draw up the articles, for they must be prepared with the care of an Indictment. In the meantime it is hoped by the administration that at least two Senators will experience a change of heart and come ln to. pass the Palmer bill and adjourn. The adminis tration Is not particular which two it gets. At this stage all votes look alike to-those who are trying to get B. WILCOX, Vice-President. M. M.
