j. S. WANTS FREE
HAND IN DEALING
WITH MEXICO
Strongly Intimates Desire to
Europe Through Attitude
Toward British Min
lister to Mexico

Washington, October 20.-Whiie there
was no change in either the status of af-
fairs at Mexico City or the American
policy, an international phase of the NICK
ican situation that attracted wide atten-
tion tonight was the formal inquiry mai
earlier today by Ambassador Page at
London as to what was construed here
as an unsympathetic attitude toward the
United States by Sir Lionel Garden, the
British minister to Mexico
1t is understood that the basis of the
inquiry was confidential report to the
state department the cortents of which
We're not diyulged here. 1t is known,
however, that what particularly dis
pleased both President Wilson and Sec
retary Bryan was t-4s presentation by Sir
Lionel of his credentials. to Provisional
President Huerta the very day after the
latter had proclaimed himself dictator.
The American government felt that Huer-
ia IS nullihcation of the Mexican constit,,-
,tion not only by his arrest of the deputies
but by his assumption of legislative pow
ers had so altered affairs in the Mexican
capital that the British minister might
well have withheld his presentation OF
credentials.
Inquiry was directed to determine
whether the British foreign office had in
structed Sir Lionel to present his creden-
tials Notwithstanding Huerta's assump-
ton of powers.
The explanation of the British foreign
office noted in press dispatches that the
presentation of the credentials was merck
coincidence and not antagonistic to the
American point of view, was NOT com
mented on by officials tonight
Diplomatic circles Interpreted the new
development as strongly intmating te
Europe the desire Of the United States tc
have free hand in dealing with the
Mexican problem.

tonight by the progressives of the Sixth
assembly district. MIR. suizer In 1883
began his public career as a member
of this branch of the state legislature.
Mr.. Sulzer has agreed to accept the
nomination, it was announced at the
meeting where he was chosen as the
candidate. Max Slender, progressive
leader in the Sixth assembly district,
who placed the former governors name
in nomination, said Mr.. Sulzer reached
him by telephone from Albany inquir-
ing if he had been designated. Mr..
steindler replied in the. affirmative He
said he asked Mr.. Sulzer II he would
accept and Mr.. Sulzer replied he would
gladly do so
The nomination OF the impeached ex-
eeutive was brought about against the
desires Of the state and county leaders
OF the progressive party. The sentiment
among the progressiyes throughout the
state and in other states was generally
against the move, according to State
Chairman Theodore Douglas Robinson
and County Chairman Francis W. Bird
Mr.. Bird in a letter to Mr.. Steindler
before the meeting began cautioned him
regarding the unwisdom of nominating
MIR. Sulzer''
"Of course. il is a fundamental progress
sve principle that the settled will of the
people in any district should govern in
the making of nominations" Mr. Bird
wrote. .'Progressives everywhere will

Admiral Joseph G. Eaton died from poi

administered within six or eight hours
of his death, during which time. tes
timony showed he was unconscious.
This. the statement of medical ex-

of his widow, Mrs. Jennie May Eaton

That Mrs. Eaton had many times said
that she wished her husband was dead,
was the statement made on the witness
stand today by Henry NJ. Gates of Rock

Aresenic Grains Found

Testimony as to the finding of poi
son In the admirals body and indica-
tions as to the time and manner of it's
administrat ton was given by Prof. w.
f. Whitney and Prof. William Balch,
both of the Harvard medical school.
These experts. retained by the govern
ment, had analyzed the contents of
the organs removed from the body OF
the admiral Sixteen grains of pure
white arsenic were found and a great
amount was probably thrown off
from the admiral's system before
death according to the testimony.
Both professors admitted under cross
examination that the presence of a
large quantity of arsenic has been ac-
cepted by experts as an indication that
the poison was self elf-administered.
District Attorney Albert Barker in
redirect examination brought out tes-
timony to show that the poison might
equally well have been administered
by some other person. 1t Is the conten-
tion of the government that poison
was given the admiral in tea and other
beverages by his widow

that the admiral used intoxicants free

Mrs. Anna Driscol1 of Rockland, a
friend of the Eatons, testified to hav-
ing stayed at the Eaton home for three
months in 1912, at Mrs Eaton's re-
quest, ito keep this feeble old man
away from woman who wants to get
his money" She said Mrs. Eaton be-
lleved the admiral was insane and com
planned that he was always flirting
with girls and women. Mrs. Driscoll
said that while she was at the Eaton
home the admirals habits were regular
and orderly.
Henry M. Gates of Rockland, a friend
of the Eaton family, testified that Mrs.
Eaton had expressed the wish at vari-
Gus times that the admiral was dead.
She asked Gates, the witness con
tinued. to come to the Eaton home and
warned him ito be prepared to pro-
tect himself" Following this advice he
carried IA pistol, which, he said, he
