EASTMAN BURIED MRS- EDUID PLANS Ui . .
IN LONELY GRAVE

Funeral and Will Go

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.

applicants for the coal fields."

TROUSERETTE IS LATEST
NEW KIND OF GOWN TO SUC
CEED DIRECTOIRE.
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.

CARACAS. June 27. The cabinet has

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.
In discussing her plans forv the fu
ture, the former actress, after express-
f..the Soy that had come to her ln
getting back her good name, signed by
a Supreme Justice, said her plans In
cluded the establishment of a school
for orphan boys on her Blue Gap
farm, for which she proposes to sacri
fice some of her. jewels. 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

GRANTS PASS. Or., June 27. (Special
Work on the Irrigation project is moving
along with all the speed available sev
eral carloads of pipe arrived this week
from Sacramento and have been hauled
up to the dam. The large pump has been
coupled up with the 200-foot ditch on the
north side of the river and all Is now
ready for the dry season. Farmers and
berrygrowers along this ditch are pre
paring to use the water as soon as
laterals can be Installed.
On the south side of the river the
highland ditch into Fruitdale is being
finished as quickly as possible. Pipe to
be laid from the pumping plant is being
hauled to the south side of the river
and will be placed into position this week
.Along the ditch there remain a few places
where the water will have to be flumed
across the canyons, but this will not take
long, as the lumber is now being hauled
where needed.
The use of water at this time of year
wll produce two crops of strawberries
easily, and will be the means of marketing
much later garden produce.

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
