Poison for Crime.

BOSTON, March 24.-The arrest OF
another woman, who will be charged
as an accessory to the alleged muir
der of Rear Admiral Eaton by the
admirals widow, was intimated by
the police today.
It is believed that this woman OBJ

raj Eaton and took 1t to his home a
few days before the tragedy.
I'VE have no positive evidence
against her yet" one of the investi-
gators said today. "but she will not
be eliminated from the case, no mat
ter what the grand jury does"
Admiral Eatons widow spent most
of Sunday in Plymouth Jail outlining
a voluminous defense to her counsel
in preparation for the special session
of the grand jury, which meets to-
day,
Mrs. Jane Ainsworth Keyes, step
daughter of the admiral, is at the
Eaton home, in Norwell. with her
sister. Miss Dorothy Ainsworth, and
her grandmother, Mrs. Virginia Har-
rison. Mrs. Keyes still vigorously de
fends her mother, and declares the
family is being prosecuted She has
been summoned as one of the princi-
pal witnesses before the grand Jury.
William A. Morse, who was senior
counsel for the Rev Clarence V. 7.
Richeson, who was excueted for the
murder of Miss Avis Linnell, has been
retained as counsel for Mrs Eaton.
One of the detectives at work in the
case said:
ut has been said by many that we
have a very weak case against Mrs.
Eaton. Everybody will be surprised
when it becomes known what we
really have in the way of evidence"

TRENTON, n. j., March 24.-Dis-
cussing what is to be done in settling
the difficulty which had arisen over
the jury commission bill. Governor
Fielder today said that after he had
a talk late this afternoon with men,
bers of both houses the matter would
be placed in the hands of a conference
commission to suggest the best
methods to be followed.
He was asked if he would veto a
bill bearing q referendum, but he did
not desire to commit himself on this
point He said that in such an even.
there would be several things to con-
slider. for example the kind of a
referendum. and also the question of
whether it would be wise to veto the
bill and then call a special session of
the Legislature in an endeavora a To
get a law passed without a refer
endum.
The Governor seemed optimistic
over chances of getting a bill through
providing for appointment of jury
commissions by the Supreme or Cir
cult courts. without any referendum.
He pointed to the vote in the
House by which the referendum was
adopted. which was 27 to 26 and said
he hoped to be able the next time it
was tried to get the necessary five
votes against referring the adoption
of the law to the people.

Paterson Silk
Strike Still On
Especial TO the Newark star.I

PATERSON, N, j., March 24-The
fifth week of the silk strike began
today with $4,000 operatives out.
The only prospect of settlement
lies in a probable legislative investi-
CATION, to provide which, Senator
Peter j. McGinnis will introduce a
resolution in the Senate tonight.
The few mills that still have
enough workmen to operate were
closed today in celebration of Eas-
ter Monday. An, attempt may be
made to open more mills tomorrow,
but the strikers after an enthusias-

President to Spend
the Evening with
Mr.. Underwood.
PROPOSALS MAPPED OUT
TO BE RECITED TO HIM
Expected to Announce Measure
of Reduction Which Should
Be Determined.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Presi-
dent Wilson and Representative
Oscar Underwood will confer tonight
on the details of tariff revision. 1t
was announced early today at the
White House that the President
would spend the evening with Mr..
Underwood, carefully studying the
proposals that already have been
mapped out by the House ways and
means committee.
Although Mr.. Wilson has had sew
eral conferences with the Democratic
House leader they have been along
general lines. 1t is expected that
tonight's conference will reach spe-
ciflc subjects, and that the President
Immediately thereafter will finish his
special message to the first Congress,
including therein a discussion of the
tariff that will conform to the plans
already agreed upon by House lead
ers.
Tariff in the Message.
1t always has been Mr.. Wilson's
custom to study the possibilities of
Legislation and write his messages
with an idea of what actually has
been determined upon by party lead
ers rather than by presenting new
and undiscussed policies 1t is be-
lieved that his message will cover In
a general way the character of tariff
revision that he hopes to see accom-
plished. and also will point out spe-
cifically the goals Of reduction which
should be reached.
The conference with Mr.. Under
wood will give the. President q de.
tailed acquaintance with the work
of the ways and means committed for
the last few months and will be fol
lowed by other conferences through
which the President hopes to secure
common agreement among members
of the Democratic party for tariff
bill.
Single Tariff Bill.
The idea of a single tariff bill is
said to appeal strongly to the Presi-
dent as a means of expediting legis-
lation, but many of his friends think
II will prove an obstacle to harmonic
Gus revision of the tariff. The ques-
ton is to be settled by the Democra-
tic caucus, but 1t is known that the
wishes of the President will be con-
suited by House leaders during the
week, when the merits of the plan
by schedule process and the omnibus
bill method will be presented to him.

a contract to complete the building With
In four months after the date they COM
mence work.
1t is probable that the commencement of
the work will be delayed several days
pending the settlement of the strike in the
city. but soon that is adjusted the
contractors will put large forces TO work
and rush the building to completion. The
firm. which includes Mr.. Atkinson and
Nicholas .Roney. are experienced theatre

ham will get the same class of yaude-
vile that appears in Richmond, Norfolk.
Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis and
Louisville, the acts coming direct off
the eastern Keith circuit. The bills will
include the greatest headliners in vaude-
vile, and will be the finest ever seen in

tractors will be able to complete the the
atre portion of the building before Labor
Day and the remainder OF the structure
within the contract time.
