NEW YORK, October IA radica
change in the methods Of governing the
Protestant Episcopal Church in America
by grouping the various dioceses into
provinces or synods. according to the
method that has long prevailed in the
English branch of the church-was pre-
posed today at the general convention
The proposed came in the form of re-
port of a joint commission appointed al
the last triennial convention.
Its consideration promised to develop
one of the liveliest debates of the con-
vention. Many of the low church dele
gates opposed the change on the grouno
that it was step in the direction OF
archbishopS and IAN American pOpe:"
The report provides for eight provinces
or synods in which the various diocese
and missionary districts of the church
shall be grouped according to their geo.
graphical location. Each of these prov
inces would be governed by a council
composed of two houses. At its head
would be a president, and In general
the method of administration would be
similar to that now in force for the en-
tire body of the church as exercised al
the triennial convention.

PLYMOUTH. Mass. October A.-Mrs,
Jennie May Eaton was placed on trial
here today for the murder of her hus-
band, Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton.
The defense will attempt to show that
the admiral was self-administered. The
governments case rests on the contention
that Mrs. Eaton gave her husband poison
with his meals.
1t was expected that, the selection Of
a jury would occupy the whole of today's
session More than 1J0 talesmen were
summoned, so nearly filing the court
room that there was practically no room
left for spectators. Chief Justice Aiken
OF the superior court presided. District
Attorney Albert F. Barker is in charge
of the prosecution. and Mrs. Eatons chief
counsel is William A. Morse of Boston.
While Mrs. Eaton has been confined in
the Plymouth Jail she has written a COM

riage to the admiral In 1905 She has
taken exercise on the farm connected
with the Jail and is In excellent health.

previously notified all the liners of the
failure OF his attempt to assist and his
belief that nothing more was possible in
the existing conditions. but would well
come any suggestions for further at
tempts from the Carmania. which was a
difficult ship to maneuver. He would
stand clear and leave them a free hand.
Capt. Barr here remarked that doubt
less the point would arise why the Car
mania, although arriving first on the
scere. only rescued one person.
FL give you my narrative in detail, he
said. ''in order to show you how / was
eniployed-I think. very usefully employed
during the night. / don't think l could

IN answer to questions, Capt. Barr said
he was obviously in a position to direct
the other vessels. and considered ii better
to direct them than to rush in with the
object of saving the passengers. He had
heard from boatman who had got near
the Nolturno that the people crowded on
the ship were quiet as though terror Were
upon them.
II think in the circumstances, con
cluded Capt. Barr, that Capt. Inch acted
very bravely. considering he was one
against SO many terror-stricken people.
