POSTMASTERS QUIT JOBS
Two Thousand Resign Rather Than
Accept Civil Service.
WASHINGTON. March 10. Because
of the extension of the classified civil
service to Include fourth-class post
masters and the announcement that
postmasters of that class would be
subjected to a competitive examination,
the Postoffice Department Is receiving
nearly 20 resignations a day. Officials
declare that about 2000 fourth-class
postmasters have resigned since the
executive order carrs'ing them into the
civil service was Issued.
Practically all of the resignations are
In postotfices where the postmaster's
sslary la merely nominal and where at
times the expense of conducting the
offtce equals the postmaster's compen
sation. In many of the cases It will
be exceedingly difficult to secure ap
plicants who will take the prescribed
exsmlnatlons.
While the department is endeavoring
to secure new postmasters, the Incum
bents, although they have resigned,
will be forced to discharge the duties
of the office.' ' - 1

been directed to finding where and by
whom the poison was obtained and to
laying bare the home life of the Eaton
family.
Home Life Troubled.
In the first quest they have not been
successful, tbo District Attorney says.
Along the second line of Inquiry a
wealth of evidence has been furnished
by friends of the family and neighbors.
The admiral and his wife, who was 20
years bis junior, did not always agree
It Is said, regarding those who should
be received at their home.
Both bad been married before. The
admiral's first wife was Mary Anne
Varnum, whom he married at Dracut
1ST1. when he was a Uteutenant In the
Navy. His body was burled beside that
of Ms first wife. From his graduation
at Annapolis until his retirement with
the rank of rear admiral. In 1905. the
life of the naval officer was filled with
i honors, and be acquired a fortune.

the admiral were rnarrled In 1907.
Admiral's Courtship Described.
The coortshlp was described by the
admiral In a statement which he made
it the ttme of a brief estrangement
from bis wife four years ago. He said:
"I met Mrs. Ainsworth in Chicago and
thought she was a widow. At that
time, however, she was not actually di
vorced from her husband. It was not
until just before my marriage that I
learned sha had a husband. Then she
told me that her husband was alive and

for the divorce proceedings which she
had instituted against her husband.
Promts to Marry Kept.
"I married her because I had said I
would and was too much of a gentleman
to withdraw my promise. She has al
ways been a good wife.
"I knew that money was given to
Ainsworth, but never with my consent
1 except once; then 1 paid his fare to
Cleveland to get rid of him."
After their marriage the Batons came
to Brookline. Soon afterwards the Ad
miral met with financial reverses and In
his last days led an unpretentious life
on a poultry farm In Norwell.
His principal Income was from his al
lowance as a retired naval officer, which
amounted to $4000 a year.
It is Understood that his estate Is
represented largely by a life insurance
policy for $5000. -
Disappointed that a child had not
been born to them, the Admiral about
two years after his second marriage,
secretly adopted an infant, which he
proclaimed as his own. The deception
was successful for a time, but the baby
died when a few months old. Mrs.
Eaton . declared that the Infant bad
been poisoned, and an examination of
the stomach Was made.
Cbnrpre Causes Estrangement.
No poison waa found, but as a result
of her charge Mrs. Eaton was t
tranged from her husband for a brief
period. Then they were reconciled
and again lived together. With them
at that time lived the two daughters of
Mrs. Eaton by her earlier marriage,
June and Dorothy. June Is now the
wife of Ralph P. Keyes. of Boston.
Ainsworth, Mrs. Eaton's first husband,
renewea friendly relations with the
Eaton family and was an occasional
visitor at their home. Mrs. Eaton said
that her husband was much Inter
ested In drugs and their effect on per
sons and devoted much of his time to
strange experiments.
