MRS. EATON ON TRIAL
FOR HUSBAND’S DEATH
Defense Will Try to Show
That Alabama Man Poison
ed Himself
(By Associated Press.)
PLYMOUTH, Mass., Oct. 16.—Mrs.
Jennie May Eaton was placed on trial
here today for the murder of her hus
band, Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton,
e native of Alabama. The defense will
attempt to show that the poison which
caused the admiral’s death was self-ad
ministered. The government’s case
rests on the contention that Mrs. Eaton
gave her husband poison with his
meals.
It was expected that selection of a
jury would occupy all of today’s ses
sion. District Attorney Albert F.
Barker is in charge of the prosecution,
and Mrs. Eaton’s chief counsel is Wil
liam A. Morse, of Boston.
While Mrs. Eaton has been confined
in the Plymouth jail she has written a
complete history of her life since her
marriage ot the admiral in 1906. She
has taken exercise on the farm connect
ed with the jail and is in excellent
health.
RYAN GAVE NOTHING TO
MR. WILSON IN N. JERSEY
Mr, Underwood's Reference
Stricken From Records on
Word From White House
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Get. 16.—Democratic
Leader Underwood’s reference to his de
bate yesterday with Representative
Hobson to Thomas Fortune Ryan hav
ing contributed $10,000 to President
Wilson’s campaign fund when the presi
dent was running for governor of New
Jersey, did not appear today in the of
ficial report in the Congressional Rec
ord.
The^ White House informed Mr. Un
derwood that no such contribution had
been received, and the Democratic lead
er struck the reference from his speeoh
before the Record went to press last
night.
EXTENSIVE SLIDES ARE
MOVED FROM THE CANAL
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Removal of

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
DROPS TO 851-2
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—Southern Pa
cific was the weakest feature of the
day’s heavy market, the stoc declining
3 points to 85 1-2, its lowest price in
almost five year^ The cause of the de
cline was the announcement by the d.
partment of justice that it purposed
bring suit against the company to f'o.'
it to relinquish the Central Pacific.

Catarrh Remedy
W. J. Harris Has Been
Acting ^4s' Secretary
Of Dept, of Commerce
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Director
ris, director of the bureau of census,
left this morning at 3 o’clock for Louis
ville with Messrs. A. L. Thurman and
G. L. Fisher, of the department of jus
tice, as a commission to investigate
charges of political activity against E.
L. Dorsey, supervising steamboat in
spector of the Louisville-Memphis dis
trict. Mr. Harris will be in Louisville
for a week, after which he will go
directly to Atlanta, to remain several
days, and then will go to his home at
Cedartown, Ga., for a visit. He has
been acting as ex-officio secretary of
commerce during the absence of Secre
tary Redfleld and will take a vacation
of two or three weeks.
HARRIS WANTS 0FTENER
REPORTS ON COTTON SEED
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Director
Harris, of the bureau of the census,
finds that there is a great demand for
the publication at more frequent inter
vals of statistics concerning the con
sumption of cotton seed. It has been
the practice of the bureau of census to
compile statistics for this important
part of the cotton crop only twice dur
ing the ginning season. The first re-
port for the crop of 1912 related to the
quantity of cotton seed crushed prior
to January . 1, 1913. The second report
showed the quantity crushed prior to
March 1, 1913, with an estimate of the
quantity remaining to be crushed from
the crop.
The statistics of cotton seed are col
lected oin connection with those for the
production of cottpn as reported by the
ginners. This is necessary because the
quantity of linters is constantly in
creasing and forms a much larger per
centage of the total crop than hereto
fore.
Mr. Harris believes that an addition
al report showing the quantity of seed
crushed and linters obtained should re
late to some date between October 31,
and January 1. He is not certain as to
the most desirable date, and is accord
ingly corresponding with the farmers
and cotton seed oil mills in order to es
tablish it. It is hoped that all will
agree upon a fixed date, so that the
werk can be inaugurated during the
present season.
This additional report will be of great
value .Jo the farmers, as well as to the
oil mills aad the public generally.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—The federal
board of food and drugs inspection has
decided to grapple with the question of-
“What is chocolate?” and accordingly
sent out today an invitation to those in
terested to attend a public hearing to be
held at the department of agriculture,
November 7. The hearing will determine
whether sweetened, pulverized cocoa can
be admitted to be chocolate, a designa
tion hitherto denied it by the govern
ment.
“Matinee girls,” repeated an officials
when questioned, “why, certainly they
can come, If they care to. If matinee
girls aren’t interested in chocolate I
can’t imagine who possibly could be.”
Scores of protests against the govern
ment ruling on cocoa have poured In.

If you have catarrh of the head, nose,
throat; if catarrh has affected your
hearing; if you sneeze, hawk or spit; il
you take one cold after another; it
your head feels stopped-up; you shoul
fry this Remedy discovered by Dr.
Blosser, who has made a specialty of
treating catarrh for over thirty-nine
years.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Over 500*ap-
plications have been sent to the Geor
gia senators and congressmen for the
places of the six deputy Collectors who
will have charge of the income tax in
Georgia.
It is thought here that this large
number of applicants was caused part
ly by the fact that the salary was pub
lished as being about twice as large as
it really will be, having been published
as being $2,500, when really the $2,500
assignment to each was to cover trav
eling expenses and subsistence as well
as salary, the act of congress itself lim
iting the salary to the same pay that
other deputy collectors receive, which
is $1,400.
The congressmen say that the secre
tary of the treasury has told them that
no selections will be made until the
first of January.
DEALERS PLEAD TO GET
BIRD PLUMAGE ADMITTED
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Both frantic
and tearful appeals reached the treas
ury department today regarding the en
forcement of the tariff inhibition re
garding bird plumage. One man, whose
dozen cases of grouse were held up at
the New York customs house, tele
graphed that if he took the plumage off
this game, as required by the law, his
customers would refuse to recognize the
birds as grouse. The law, however, is
explicit that grouse and partridges,
hearing their plumage, cannot be brought
into the country.
Regarding aigrettes, worn on hats by
women returning from abroad, treasury
officials pointed out that if aigrettes
could come in on women’s hats the way
would be made clear for a wholesale
importation of them in evasion of the
law.

SFECIAL C
Should there be any ties, as many prizes will be reserved as there are
people tied before any prizes are awarded to those sending less correct
solutions. That is, if two people tied on the absolutely correct answer,
they would have to count the second puzzle to determine which was en
titled to the first prize and which to the second prize. Then the one who
sent the next best answer would be entitled to the third. This rule will
apply generally.
While the winning of a prize does not depend upon the time solu-
ONDITIONS
tion was registered, the puzzle is more or less elusive and the best thing
to do is to begin counting at one©. Send In your solution and if you
find later you have made a mistake send in a her. There is no limit
to the number of different solutions that may be registered.
All those entering the contest will, as a condition and consideration,
be required to abide by the ruling of the Contest Manager. In the event
of any question arising, the Puzzle Manager, if he deems It wise, may
appoint a committee to assist him in deciding them, and those entering the
contest do so with the understanding that such decision will be final.
