SAYS GOVERNOR

governor Yesterday the situation got
away from everybody. I am compelled to
act. For 4S hours I have been trying
10 arrange settlement. but the agree
ment to keep the peace during the ne
gotiations was violated and the events of
Monday showed that the leaders had not
enough authority to prevent outbreaks.
Anyone who wants to work will be given
protection to go and come in peace, but
will not allow the Importation of strike
breakers. I mean to be fair to both sides
while enforcing peace and protecting life
and property"
The governors instructions direct the
dsarming of both strikers and mine
guards. order the closing of saloons In
the district and the enforcement of the
order against the importation of strike
breakers. 1t prohibits intrusion on COM
pany property of all except company en-
ployes.

The widow of the naval officer has been
on trial since October H. the prosecu-
tion having occupied seven days and the
defense four in the presentation of testl-
mony. She completed her own evidence,
both in direct and cross-examination
about noon today. apparently undisturbed
by her ordeal of two days and a half
on the stand. Under examination
she contradicted some of the statements
made by witnesses for the prosecution,
including those of her daughter, Dorothy,
and her mother, Mrs. Harrison.
Physician Testifies
Before the defense closed a medical ex-
pert, DR.. Arthur Il. Austin of Boston,
testified that in his opinion the poison
which killed the naval officer was taken
at or after the noon meal Wednesday,
March s, and it was in one dose. Mrs.
Eaton on that day was visiting in Med
ford, according to witnesses for both the
state and the defense
In rebuttal for the prosecution this aft
ernoon DIR. Harry F. Cleverly of Scituate
testified that Mrs. Eaton and the admiral
brought a child to his office in August,
1909, and that he diagnosed the illness as
cholera infantum The child died the next
day. DR.. Cleverly denied the statement
of Mrs. Eaton that she offered him $1,000
IL he would cure the child.
One of the last witnesses was Charles
r. Henry, workman of Norwel, who
said that he saw Admiral Eaton three
days before his death and that he APP
peared in good spirits. He admitted un-

Both sides have shown a concil-

The matter will be thoroughly dis

Members of the committee tonight
expressed the belief that in view of
the opposition to the central bank
scheme that plan would be rejected,
but that the committee would take ad-
vantage of the Presidents concession
to reduce the number of regional re-
serve banks provided for by the bill
from 2 to as low as four or five A
compromise plan along these lines was
suggested yesterday by Prof. j. w
jerks. Under his plan the profits of
the federal reserve banks would be

Must Be Transferred

The state department first instructed
him to inquire of the Mexican refugees
where they wished to go. Later the de-
partment notified the admiral that with
in a reasonable time they must be
transferred from the American warship.
They may be placed aboard a COM
mercial liner bound for Havana or New
York, as they choose.
1t was believed here tonight that Diaz
and his friends would ask to be place a
aboard an American bound ship and
that until such disposition could be
made of them Admiral Fletcher would
permit them to remain aboard one of
the United States ships In Mexican wa
ters.
AS to the future treatment OF Mex
leo by the United States and other ma
tons, there has been much discussion
both here and abroad since the election
Sunday under supervision of the Huerta
provisional government. President VIII
son, in two public speeches, has out
lined a general policy of International
CO. cooperation with all n-American
nations and from France and England
have come assurances of a desire to CO.
operate with the United States upon
some concerted effort to restore peace
and good government In Mexico. Ger
many, which recently sent a war ves-
sci to Mexican waters, now has signl-
fed desire to enter such a co-opera-
tive peace making enterprise.
That all the foreign nations are look
ing to the United States to take the
initiative Is certain and the situation
presented makes it imperative that this
government submit a plan.
The United States requested the pow
ers to await proposal several days
ago and since that time the note has
been in preparation.
