ship Rail.

Plymouth, Mass, Oct. 24-The defence
In the trial Of Mrs. Jennie May Eaton for
the murder by poison of her husband
Rear Admiral Joseph G. Eaton. intro
duced evidence to-day i'm support of its
two main contentions-that the admiral
was addicted to the use OF drugs. and
that his wife; instead of plotting his
death. loved him and was loyal to him.
Stories of apparent intoxication on the
part Of the admiral were told by Peter s.
McNally. a newspaper reporter; Miss
Mary NJ. Simmons. a school teacher
Lieutenant r. s. Reyes, a naval officer,
and Drs. Benjamin s. Blanchard and
Jacob W. Brown, physicians.
McNally described the admiral's be-
havior and appearance or several oc-
casions, saying that he appeared to be
| under the influence OF intoxicants, but
that the odor of liquor could not be de-
| tected on him. Lieutenant Keyes said
that when Admiral Eaton was captain
in command of the battleship Massachu-
sets he spent an entire night on deck,
clutching the rail.
Evidence introduced by the government
indicated that the admirals death was
! due TO arsenic In the stomach. To ex-
plain this condition the defence called
DR.. Brown, a former Boston practitioner,
but now serving a Jail term for Illicit
practices who testified that at Admiral
Eaton's request in 1910 he had prescribed
a preparation containing arsenic. The
prescription called for 1900 pills,s each
containing one one-hundredth Of a grain
OF the Ioison.
Later the witness said, the admiral
brought some OF the pills to him. saying
that child had died from eating one Of
them. Another time the admiral showed
him some capsules, which he said con-
tanned arsenic and which he used to kill
dogs.
District Attorney Barker's cross-exami-
nation was directed chiefly to showing
that the witness could not give similar
details regarding other patients. He ad-
mitted that he did not disclose his evil
dence until within few weeks.
on redirect examination he said that
Admiral Eaton was often intoxicated
when ne called on HIM.
Testimony indicating that the admiral
and Mrs. Eaton lived happily together
was given by Judge George w. Kelley,
friend and legal adviser TO the family,
and by Patrick F.. Ford a music teacher.
Judge Kelley said that when he proposed
to Mrs. Eaton that the admiral be either
arrested or committed 10 an asylum be-
cause of his alleged insanity Mrs. Eaton
told him that she would not permit any
one to harm a hair OF her husbands head.
The admiral had praised his wife to
Judge Kelley, and both husband and wife
showed affection for each other. Mr..
Ford testified that to all appearances the
Eatons' home was happy one.
Mrs. Eaton will testify tomorrow.

Mohonk Conference Advocates
independence Eventually.

Mohonk Lake, n. Y, Oct. A-Ultimate
self-government Of the Philippines and
Porto kico and control of Indian affairs
by a permanent non-partisan national
commission were recommended in the
platform adopted tonight at the closing
session of the Lake Mohonk Conference
OF Friends Of the Indians and Other De-
pendent Peoples.
The conference declined to indorse the
view of some members that the Philip
pines were ready for immediate indie
pendence, but agreed that the Porto Ri
cans while preparing for "self-govern-
ment under the American flag" should be
granted full American citizenship.
Notwithstanding the condemnation the
Democratic Philippine policy received In
the sessions, the platform dismissed that
question as follows:
I'VE venture to hope that the action OF
President Wilson in placing the upper
house of the Legislature Ohe Philippine
Commission) In control Of the Filipinos
will be found by It's practical results 10
have been wise and that an occasion Tor
its revocation will not arise"
The conference recommended that no
date be set for the withdrawal of our
supervision over the Philippines.

HELD NOT CONVICT MADE
Exclusion of British Bagging
Under New Tariff Denied.

Washington. Oct 2i.-Millions OF DOL
lars worth OF imports may be affected by
a decision OF the Treasury Department to-
day refusing to prohibit under the new
tariff law the entry OF cotton bagging
from Great Britain alleged to have been
manufactured in part by convict labor
Assistant Secretary Hamlin denied the
application of the American Manufactur-
ing Company for an order to prevent the
entry OF 100000 worth OF British bag
ging now In the customs warehouse at
New Orleans and Galveston. and to bar
all future importations from the same
source
Mr.. Hamlln held that the only convict
labor employed In connection with the
cotton bagglng was in the preparation OF
the waste material. and that this work
did not constitute a manufacturing proc
ess. The yearly imports OF bagging from
this source amount to nearly 100000.

VANDERBILT PLAN FAVORED
New York Bankers Indorse His
Currency Reform Proposals.

New York bankers read with great IN
terest yesterday the currency plan SUD-
mitted to the Senate Banking and Curren-
CIV Committee by Frank A. Nanderlip'
president of the National City Bank. a
reporter for The Tribune made a canvass
OF the financial district and obtained the
following views Of Mr. Vanderlips pro-
posals from leading bankers:
Alexander j. Hemphill, president OF the
Guaranty Trust Company: 81 think IL IS
an ideal plan, inasmuch as 1t would place
our currency system on sound, sclen-
tifc basis, instead of a makeshitt system
Undue depressions and expansions "ou'o
be prevented. and an effective mopiiiza-
ton Of our reserves would not allow any
recurrence of such panic as took place
In 1907. Mr. vanderllp's plan would also
provide a satisfactory acceptance market
for redscounting which we have always
needed. The provision relative TO the
United States government per cent bonds
is excellent, because the time has passed
when the bonds can be kept at par with
out artificial means"
William A. Nash, chairman OF the board
of directors of the Corn Exchange BANK:
II believe Mr.. Vanderlip's plan Is an I'M
movement over the GlassOwen bill.
A. Barton Hepburn: II have read the
plan only cursorily. and 1t seems to pos
sess merit. It is hardly necessary TO ask
for an expression OF opinion from Ne"
York bankers, as practically all OF them
are on record In many speeches and inter-
views as favoring the principal features
OF the Vanderlip plan. There seems to be
no doubt that its main features would be
accepted by the New York banks.
John Harsen Rhoades telegraphed the
following message to President Wilson:
II earnestly hope that the administra-
ton will unanimously indorse Mr.. VAN
derlips proposal for central bank In IL
lies the true solution of our banking ana
currency problem. Party pledges should
be kept, but the plank in the Democratic
platform opposing a central bank was
placed there to support the views OF those
who feared so-called money trust con-
troll. With Presidential appointees In con-
troll for at least fourteen-year service
the danger to all intents and purposes is
eliminated Hence we have no further
need for a plank that has always marred
an otherwise well constructed platform.
or we amend Mr.. Vanderlip's proposal
by life appointments. with an age limit
for eligibility, as we'll as expirations OF
service. We would wholly eliminate any
possibility OF political influence and money
trust control, and would put the Court OF
Finance in its proper place-on a plane
with the Supreme Court
