CRAZY ANTICS OF

Defendant Says He Acted as

What He Was Doing
O KITED riUSS UDABRD WIE
Plymouth, Mass., Oct. 25. That Ad
luiral Joseph Giles Eaton not only died
bv his own hand, but took the life of
thoir adopted baby as well, was the tes
timony offered in her own defense here
today by Mrs. Jennie May Baton, ac
cused of her husband's murder. Mrs
Eaton recited her story in a calm and
even voice, beginning with her mar
ria.ro to her first husband, who, she
safd also drank heavily.
"After 1 left mv first husband," she
said, "I studied nursing and finally se
cured a position to nurse the Admiral's
first wife. The admiral drauk so heav
ily even then that he was unable to at
tond his wife's funeral.
"Later I acted as the admiral's
housekeeper. Then we came to Massa
chusetts and took a cottage at Hull.
We married at Hull. As the admiral's
drinking increased, I decided to get
him away from club life. The bills
poured in nnd we decided to go to the
country,
His Mad Nature.
"The first time I noticed the admir
al's mad and passionate nature was
when I was having somo dresses made
for nne, my oldest daughter. Sho stood
before us in short skirts and with bare
arms. Suddenly the admiral jumped
from his chair and clasped her in his
arms agnin and again."
Mrs. Eaton then described another af
fair. "The admiral on this occasion,"
she stiiil, "acted as if he did not know
what lie was doing and 1 don't believe
he did."
Murdor of Baby Boy.
"Then wo moved to Sand Hills and
lived at the beach. A few weeks later
we adopted a beautiful baby. One day
we all went in bathing. 1 left the baby
asleep at tho cottage. When I returned
I found the admiral coining from the
house. He wns adjusting a collar but
ton, and stared at mo with wild ami
apparently unseeing eyes. 1 hurried to
tho baby and picked him up. He began
vomiting and I rushed for a doctor. 1
offered him $1000 if he saved the
child's life, but he couldn't."

RECALL OF STOLZ IS
Several Salem citizens have today
signed a petition remonstrating
against the recall of Councilman Stolz,
of the Third ward. The following is
the resolution, and the list of signers:
"Wo, the uudorsigned, wish publicly
to denounce the recent misuse of the
recall.
"We consider the recall as an in
strument to be used only in extreme
necessity in the case of proven dis
honesty or malfeasance of office.
"In the case of Mr. Stolz, whose
term has .almost expired, tho recall
petition becomes a wanton insult
against a man of unquestionable in
tegrity and ability.
"Wo wish to protest in all earnest
ness that such policies have nothing
to do with the building up of a bet
ter town and that the only end they
servo is to oreeu uiuerness aim
strife.

WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC IS
HIT HARD BY "THE LURE"
'The Lure" drew a good houso at
the Grand last nighf, despite tho other
big attractions in tho city, and it was
admitted that the play is both moral
and instructive. Facts of the white
slave traffic were depicted interesting
ly ami a iovo story was interwoven nice
ly. That any city should forbid the
production as staged here lust night enn
onlv be explained by the probability
that the city officials themselves, or
the boss who controls them, are vitally
interested in the profits arising from
the traffic. The nmilaine, tho cadet,
the politician behind the dive nnd the
methods used to lure gills to the places
ore true to lite, ns any one Knows who
has seen them ply their trade in many
cities.
The part played by the political boss
probably raises more of the objection
than .my other section of the play. This
sort of g'lifter is found in nearly every
city.
Such play ns "The Lure" cannot
help building a sentiment against n
foiiii of slavery which should have no
pint e in the Tinted States. The Mann
net hit thrown terror into the rank o'
the procurers and stnte laws, well en-
forced should do the rest.

Administration at Washington
Realizes Tyrant Will Stick
Until Last.
TO TREAT WITH REBELS
In Case Huerta- Is Elected Sunday
Wilson Will Send Representative
to Confer With Enemies.
UNITED PM88 LE1SBD Will.
Washington, Oct. 25. It was clear to
the administration today that General
Huerta will remain dictator of Mexico
until he is deposed forcibly. No offici
al announcement was mado that the ad
ministration held this view, but every
one knew it.
President Wilson unquestionably
will bo overjoyed if the Mexican reb
els can overthrow Huerta. In case the
latter is elected Sunday, it was a foro-,
gone conclusion that Wilson will send
areprosentative to confer with the
robol leaders. Should the olection prove
invalid, through the failure of any can
didate to secure a majority, the samo
course will be pursued.
After promising definitely not to be
a candiduto and declaring subsequent
ly thatho would not accept the pres
idency, even if elected, Huorta saw
to it that his name was at tho head of
his own ticket on the official ballots
sent out today.

Calls Upon Capital Journal to Cornet

Police Matron Lynch called at the
office of The Capital Journal this
morning and asked the publication of
a statement correcting a misstatement
appearing in the morning newspaper
today. In an advertisement appearing
this morning Mrs. Lynch was quoted
as saying she could not find a police
man when she wished to take tho Bar
rett girl in charge. Mrs. Lynch said
this morning that she never mado such
a statement, and such criticism of the
chief wag not justified. She was called
to make the arrest at shortly after 11
a. m., she said, and when she put the
girl on the car to take hor to Mrs. Park

to assist, but his services were unnec

to dinner, Chief Shedeck was the only
man of the police force on duty, and
he was busy on some othor work. Ac

Parker was somewhat fussy about the
situation, says Mr. Prico, and prom
ised to do something to the police, ac
cording to Mrs. Lynch, for not being on

State Treasurer Kuy this morning re
ceived a dispatch from tho bank at
Bond saying it did not feel ablo or de
sirous of cashing slate warrants en
dorsed "not paid for lack of funds."
As this is tho bank nenrest tho Tumalo

Sargent Named
Bank Examiner
United States Bank Man Succeeds Al
bert and Gets Strong Endorsement
for Place.
Owing to the resignation of State
Bank Examiner Albert, who has been
appointed a national bank examiner, it
became necessary to appoint his suc
cessor, and' the board, at its meeting
this morning, selected 8. G. Sargent, at
present employed in the U. S. National
bank here, for the place. The selection
is a splendid oiie, as Mr. Sargent is
thoroughly equipped by his years of ex
perience in the banking business to fill
the place fully. About the only per
son who will not be plonscd with his
selection will be the directors of the
U. S. National, and they only because
they will regret losing his services.
