 BURN MANSION Militant Arson squads Have Busy Night
 in London
Lady Whites Residence and Fashionable Golf Links Con-
 signed to Flames

London, March 20-Arson squads of militant suffragettes were busy last night. The fine country residence of Lady Amy White, widow of Field Marshal Sir George White, the hero of Ladysmith during the TransvaaI war, and the buildings on the golf links at Weston-Super-M Mare, the fashionable watering place Of Somersetshire, were burned.
 sion in spacious grounds at Englefie1d Green, near the River Thames. When fire was discovered at 1 o'clock this morning the flames had got such 9 good hold of the building that it was entirely gutted in spite of the efforts Of the local fire brigade. Traces of oils and inflammab1e materials were found scattered about the house, while stuck on prominent spots out side the grounds were papers inscrib- ed with the words, 'Stop torturing our comrades in prison, Votes for wo- men,, By kind permission of Charles Hobhouse.'' This last being a refer ence to the taunt of MT. Hobhouse, chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, uttered earlier in the campaign, that women lacked the real revolutionary spirit Of men who burned and sacked in support Of their cause.
 Two women on bicycles were seen in the neighborhood half an hour be- fore the fire was discovered, but all trace of them has been lost
 The house was unoccupied. The in cendiaries of the golf paviIions also escaped. There are many sunragettes now in that city where Viscount Hal dane, Lord High Chancellor, is sched- uIed to deliver an address before the National- Teachers Conference.
 Olive Hocken, who was charged with attempting to set fire to a, pa wilton nT1 6a mi Sff1T7l (zoIF ink was arraigned in police court again today, and remanded another week after counsel for the treasury had opened the case for the prosecution.
 Miss Hocken appeared to glory in the notoriety she has achieved.

 Counsel for the treasury described Miss Rockers studio in Camden Hill Gardens, Kensington, a depot where people foregathered, armed and prepared for any particular maraud- ing outrage on hand, with the full knowledge and connivance of the ac- cused.''

ARREST WIDOW.
 ADMIRAL EATON
Taken Into Custody at Her Home on Mur-
 der Charge
Hero of Santiago Battle Died Suddenly of Poison and
 Buried Without HOnOrS

Hinghan, Mass, March 2O.-Rear Admiral Joseph G. Eaton, U. S. N., retired, died of poisoning and his widow is charged with murder. Mrs. Eaton was taken into custody at her home in NOrWell, today, and 1 brought to this place where she was arraigned before Judge Pratt, who has conducted the inquest into the ad- m1raPs sudden demise. She pleaded not guilty and was committed to jail without bail for a further hearing on March '28. When she came here, this i morning, accompanied by officers, it was supposed that the widow would be a witness when the inquiry was re- stunned and the fact that she was a prisoner was not made known until the announcement was made a. little before noon by District Attorney Bark CT. In a formal statement the dis trict attorney stated that Prof. Whit ney, of Harvard Medical School, who had made a chemical analysis of the contents of the adniraPs stomach, fol- lowing the autopsy, had reported the discovery Of poison, leading to the conclusion that the admiral had not died a natural death.
 The arrest of Mrs. Eaton is the out come of a serious investigation by the police into not only the cause of his death but regarding the family life of the Eatons.
 Admiral Eaton died suddenly on the morning of March 8. He was 66 years of age but according to his friends had been in good health. Two days later the body was buried at Dracut, his former home.
 There was no service at the grave and besides the undertaken and news papermen. only the widow and her daughter by an earlier marriage, wit messed the interment. There were no military honors.
 The rear admiral had seen 39 years the transport Resolute at Santiago share in that battle. He was born at ried.
 The present Mrs. Eaton was the ad- miraIs second wife and was formerly the wife of D. A. Ainsworth, once a clerk in the United States Senate. Her father was George Harrison and the family home was at Alexandria, Pa. She is 40 years of age.
 The investigation developed that her married life had not been altogether happy and her explanation that her husband had died from an attack of indigestion did not satisfy the medical examiner who after conferring with the family physician delayed the pre- paration of the body for burial until a post mortem had been made. Mrs. Eaton had two daughters by her first marriage, Mrs. June Ainsworth Reyes, of Boston, and Dorothy Ainsworth who lived with her.

EXPERTS ON TARIFF.

The tariff revision agreement, up on which the House ways and means committee intends to decide, will be carefully analysed by a corps of stat istica1 and customs experts tempor- arily quartered in the committee of fees. Represents Hull, of Tennes- see, who will frame the income tax feature of the bill and Representative Peters, of Massachusetts, have been conferring over the administrative features of the report. The commit tee plan is to retain most of the ad- ministrative sections of the present tariff law and the income tax has yet to be formally voted upon, hinging up on the analysis of the probable returns from the 1 4 schedules of dutiab1e arti- c1es.
 Whether the appropriations conn nittee will be named at the outset of the session depends largely upon coming conference between Chairman Underwood, of the ways and means committee, and Chairman Fitzgerald, of the appropriations committee Democratic leaders point out that with the overwhelming Dem mocratic major ity it would be asy to suspend the rules and act on the failed sundry civil and Indian appropriation bill
