while some place the figure as high

charred and burned beyond recogni-

Acapulco is dazed from the Catas-

BECOMES HYsTERICAL WHEN
CALLED TO GIVE EVIDENCE
OF HUSBANDS DEATH.
SENSATIONS FOLLOW FAST-MRS.
EASTMAN GIVES DRAMATIC
DEMONSTRATION

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 17.-FiLed
with dramatic incidents and marked
by scenes that bordered on the sen
sationaI, the first day Of the actual
trial of the Cooper-Sharpe case
closed last night. Whether Duncan 2.
Cooper, Robin J. Cooper, or John
Sharpe killed Senator Carmach in
s elf defense or as the result or a con-
spiracy is the issue. The taking of
testimony began yesterday. Scarcely
had the attorneys been raped into
order than sensation, number one,
was produced.
Mrs. E. w. Carmack, the slain SEN
ator'5 widow, was half carried, half
assisted into the room. She was
gowned in the deepest mourning. Her
knees gave away as she neared he"
seat and she was moaning as she was
placed in her chair. Her little son,
Ned, Jr., aged 10, stood by his mother,
patting her shoulder and trying to
keep back his tears.
Surprise number two came when
the state called Mr.. Carmack as its
first witness. She was almost car
ried to the witness stand. A few
questions were asked her but she
became hystericaI and was excused.
Sensation number three followed
Mrs. Carmack's leaving the stand.
Young Ned Carmack turned squarely
towards where the defendants sat
and fixed upon them a look full OF
hatred.
Next came the testimony Of Mrs.
Eastman, who seized a revolver, said
to have been found near the dead ed
itor'5 body, and reenacted the tragedy.
She told how she met Carmack, and
rehearsed the story of the shooting
of the senator by Cooper as she saw
it.
Her cross examination was severe
but only strengthened her testimony.

HOOD PASSES

Wash ngtor, Feb 1.-THE naval
appropriation bill was under consider.
alton in the senate throughout the
day. An amendment was adopted
which VII have the effect, if accept
ed by the house, of restoring the ma
rine corps on board all battleships
and armored cruisers in accordance
with he practice of the navy prior to
the presidents order removing the
men from the ships.
Extended criticism was made by
Senator Dixon of Montana, of the
method Of having a large number OF
navy yards along the Atlantic coast
He took the ground that the work
could be more economically done in
smaller number Of places
After an extended discussion upon
the wisdom OF keeping marines on
board warships and upon the consti-
tutional powers Of the president to
command the army and navy, the
senate adopted a committee amend
ment directing thai the appropria
ton for the marines should only be
available> in the event of their being
CHARTERED on board ships of the navy
according to the former customs.
This act was objected to by Cummins
as new legislation, which, under the
rules, could not be placed upon an
appropriation bill Vice President
Fairbanks submitted the question by
viva voce vote and it was declared
to be in order and was then adopted
Senator Lodge defended the presi-
dents course in removing the ma
rines and sought to defeat the
amendment, which Senator Hale
championed, declaring that the his
tory Of the marine corps had shown
it's value as an adjunct to the navy's
fighting force.
Mary senators took part in the de-
bate upon the power of congress to
interfere in the command by the
president. Of army and navy. Mr.
Rayner insisted that congress had alb
soIute power in such matters, while
Senator Borah took the opposite
view. Mr.. Rayner said the president
had exercised a tyrannical and des-
potic power. and Mr.. Bacon added
that if congress had not the power to
control the army and navy there was
very little barrier against despotism,
whenever a bad man happens to be
president"
