which has been trying hard for several
years past to raise funds for its new hall,
has been hampered in this work more or
less by an undercurrent of opposition
caused by the report that its property is
held by the individual members and that
they could dispose of il to their own ad-
vantage if so disposed. AS matter OF
fact. the fire company is illegally chartered
corporation, and its real estate and other
property is held by properly appointed
trustees, as is the case with similar or
CARNATIONS. To entirely clear up any
grounds for opposition, however, the
fire company at recent meeting incor-
| porated into its constitution provision
by which all of its property. including its
real estate and personally, shall in case
the company disbands or becomes de-
funct, revert to the corporation OF Shep-
herdstown. II is expressly declared that
the trustees shall under no circumstances
sell any OF its real estate, and all OF its
property is TO be solely for the public
benefit. This voluntary action of the
company is all that could be desired, anc
we hope that no one will withhold from
them the support needed in the conStruc-
ton of their new building. A hall sncf
as they propose to furnish is badly need
ed, and everybody in the communit,
ought to cheerfully help along the gooe
cause.

HUNTINGTON WILSON QUITS
Bryan's Aid Resigns as Assistant
Secretary of State and Returns
to Private Life.

Washington, D. c. Huntington
Wilson, assistant secretary of state,
who was Secretary Knox's chief aid
in the department and who helped
him frame the policy of participation
in the rehabilitation of China, de-
manded instant release from his du-
ties, turned the responsibilities of
acting secretary of state over to Sec
ond Assistant Secretary Adee and re-
tired to private life.
Mr.. Wilson's reasons for taking
this course were twofold: First, as
acting secretary in the absence of
Secretary Bryan, he was not consult
ed concerning the statement given to
the press in which the president an
nounced it to be the policy of this
government that the administration
would have nothing to do with in
ducing American bankers to partici-
pate in the six-power loan; and, sec
ond, he declined to be the mouth
piece of the Wilson administration in
announcing to the diplomatic corps in
Washington the reversal of a policy
on which he had set his heart But
1t is probable Mr.. Wilson would have
swallowed the pill had he not been
ignored by the president in making
announcement to the press.

WIDOW OF REAR
ADMIRAL IN JAIL
Mrs. Eaton Is Charged With
Murder of Husband.
DENIES THE ACCUSATION
Latest Developments Indicate That
Proceedings May be Begun at
Once to Prove Woman Un-
der Arrest Incompetent.

bingham, Mass.-The latest devel.
opmeut in the case of Mrs. Jen-
ME May Harrison Eaton, arrested
here charged with the murder
of her husband, Rear Admiral Joseph
Giles Eaton, U. S. N, retired, indi-
cate that proceedings may be begun
at once to prove the widow mentally
incompetent and that she may never
be brought to trial to answer for the
death of her husband. Mrs. Eaton,
who is relative of the late Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison, occupies a
cell in the Plymouth county Jail at
Plymouth. The intimation of san
ity inquiry follows closely upon the
statement made several days ago by
a member of the Eaton household
that the family stood ready to deter
mine at any time the mental condi-
tion of Mrs. Eaton.
Mrs. Eaton Put in Jail.
Mrs. Eaton was formally arrested
at the bingham court house follow
ing mysterious whirlwind automo-
bile ride from her home in Assinipi
in charge of States Officer John Scott
and Deputy Sheriff John T. Condor.
After being arrested Mrs. Eaton
broke down and wept bitterly for sew
eral minutes. When she was led into
the court room to be arraigned her
face was tear stained and she was
sobbing. When she saw the crowd in
the court, however, she composed her.
self and remained calm throughout
the proceedings.
Mrs. Eaton was arraigned before
Special Justice Edward B. Pratt.
Francis ]. Geogan, attorney for Mrs.
Eaton, waived the reading of the
complaint and entered plea of not
guilty. The case was then continued
until Friday, March 2S, and Mrs.
Eaton was held without bail.
District Attorney Albert F. Barker
announced to the newspapermen after
the arraignment that Admiral Eaton
had died of arsenical poisoning, ac-
cording to the report of Prof. Whit
ney of Harvard university, who made
the analysis of Admiral Eaton's stom-
ach. The district attorney said that
so far the police had been unable to
find where the poison had been pur-
chased or in what manner it had
been administered to the dead man.
Rear Admiral Eaton died at his
home in Assinipi, small town 20
miles south of Boston, on the morn
ing of March 8. A hurried funeral
was held and no naval honors were
given the dead man, who was hero
of many famous battles. At the time
Mrs. Eaton, who was the second wife
of the admiral. showed deep grief.
1t was then that rumors began to
circulate that the former naval Of
ficer had not died from natural
causes as stated in the death certifi-
cate. These rumors took such shape
that the district attorney considered
an investigation necessary and the
body of the admiral was ordered ex-
humed and an autopsy performed.
The viscera was sent to Prof. Whit
ney for examination. This analysis,
together with information obtained by
state detectives, resulted in the ar
rest of the widow.

the place.
On the porch of the institution a
young girl sat watching over the dead
body of her mother, Mrs. John New
man, who was killed instantly. The
daughter told of the storm.
Finds Mother Dead.
Mother was ill and confined to her
bed on the second floor of our home
at 1924 Dewey-av," she said. 1--WE
heard the storm coming up but did
not imagine what was to come. Sud-
denly the raging wind hit the house
and it Immediately toppled over as if
built of pasteboard. Mother and my
self were buried in the wreckage. AS
soon as l could pull myself from the
debris began a search for her. Board
after board l lifted. / tugged and
pulled at them until my hands were
cut and bleeding. Finally / reached
her. / bent down to raise her but
she was dead"
One of the peculiarities of the storm
noted at the Children's institution was
that all of the dead or injured were
badly cut about the face, while the
bodies were comparatively free from
wounds. Ugly looking scalp wounds
marked every injury, which is ex-
planned by reason Of the fact that a
large number of the killed and in
jured ran to escape the storm and
were felled by flying wreckage.
At the height of the storm merry
party were just sitting down to the
table to celebrate the S1st birthday
Of Patrick Hynes of 27O4 North GOTH
st. A toast was being drunk to their
host when the storm swept the house
away. All of the party succeeded in
getting out with minor injuries except
grandchild, Miss Cecilia Bigelow,
who was internally injured.
"The party had just begun dinner"
said Mr.. Hynes. "The young people
were making merry and old as l am
l had entered into the spirit of the
occasion. Suddenly there was great
roaring sound. The next minute the
house was in ruins. wriggled around
and got out and aided the others in
escaping"
Then suddenly brought back to a
realization of the fact that his grand
daughter was near death, the old man
cried: "Ah! If it had only been me
instead of Cecilia"
There We're hundreds of like Incl
dents. When the storm had passed,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. M. Wilhelm found
themselves under mass of broken
and twisted furniture. They extricated
themselves with difficulty.
Cliff Daniels, his wife and their two
children met death together. Soldiers
digging about the ruins of their house
found the four bodies, the two little
girls clasped in their mothers arms,
while the body of the father was over
them as If he had tried to shield them
with his own body.
DR.. and Mrs. D. G. Bryant escaped
without injury from their home, but
the aged mother of Mrs. Bryant was
found buried In the cellar and recoy-
cred with difficulty. Debris had piled
about her body until only her head
was exposed and she was unable to
make any move to free herself. From
the ruins of negro poolroom the
body of negro was taken out with a
dozen others. In one hand the dead
man clutched roll of bills.

ly are we getting this attitude, that the
suffering. the weakness or the failure of
one child affects the character and happi-
ness of many children; that the efficiency
of the whole depends upon the efficiency
of each. To this end we must approach
a great ideal of educational work-that of
uniting the home and the school. We can
best get together in q study of all children
of all people for the ultimate good of all
humanity. So we are asking all people
who are interested In children or who
work with children in any way to coop
crate with u.s. The programme committee
will endeavor to interest and secure the
help of those who through experience with
any phase of work among children are
prepared as specialists to give us the ben
eft of their deductions"
Mrs. Jere King, president of the club,
stated yesterday that it Is the desire of the
club to study every phase of child life and
to that end representatives of other or
ganizations-those whose interest is given
in behalf of child labor work. etc.-will
be invited to talk to the club at its month
ly meetings on their especial branch of
work.

King, that the literature of today gives
quantities of space to subnormal children,
delinquent children, depraved children
but how little attention is given to the

the training of their children. III we can
