ADMIRAL SDEATH
Widow of Joseph G. Eaton Be-
gins Observation-Disclosures
aCh To Be Examined.

BOSTON, March 12.-Preparations
were made today to send to Professor
Whitney. Of Harvard. for analysis the
stomach OF Rear Admiral Joseph Giles
Eaton, former commandant at tine
Charlestown navy yard. whose suddeI.
death at West Norwell is being lnvesti-
gated.
The investigation is said to be at the
instigation of the widow who told her
suspicious to her family physician, DIT,
Frame, of Rockland When the patient
died DR.. Frame reported the case t.
Medical Examiner Osgood, OF Rockland.
The investigation is being made to de-
termine if Rear Admiral Eaton died Of

miral; her mother, Mrs. George Har-
rison, of Alexandria, Va, and Miss Dor
othy Ainsworth. the rear admirars
stepdaughter have been questioned by

While Atlanta boasts none who con-

Martin AmOrous was adorned with his

his own. He has ties made of gingham
that button over the front collar button
like a full dress tie. But Sir John was
using this buttoning invention long be-
fore the new dress ties came out.
Ira Steiner can't wait on the changes

We were living the simple life in

NEEDED CURRENCY REFORM

Cne thing has to be accepted as the result of
conditions which have been developed in the ff-
ty years experience with national banking The
system cannot be turned topsy-turvy. We can
not displace the thousands of banks, with their
local attachments and connections, and establish
enc great central institution with branches, to
which all others shall be subseryient or be crowd
ed out of existence, however such an institution
might be associated with the government and
made subject to official supervision. . With
the vast extent of the country, the multitude of
existing banks, and the great variety of local
conditions and local interests to be served, it is
necessary to have, not one comprehensive assoc
citation for the whole nation or union of states.
but several associates within defined territorial
limits united in a central association to Serve
their common purposes.
There is potent reason why this central or
gaDizatiOn is essential. One great defect in our
banking system, which has attracted little atten.
ton because we have been SO long Injured to It. is
the lack of means for making commercial paper
assets and bills of exchange liquid and transfer
able by Endorsement and rediscolmt. Such Il
means could be supplied in limited way by dis
tricts or sections through organized associations
with their financial centers; but, as n the case
of reserves, it cannot be effectively applied with
in such divisions of territory, because the pur-
pose which it is to serve cannot be confined.
For an effective means of rediscount there must
be a central national banking agency, not a score
or more of district or regional" agencies. There
is need, not only of means for the rediscount of
commercial paper which will tend to equalize
money rates throughout the country and to dis
tribute reserve money according to requirements,
but there is need of a central agency for dealing
in foreign exchange and effecting international
banking operations. Without such a central in
stitution with branches at the ceners of district
association through which to work, no rational
banking reform can be accompIShed.-Ano X.

HAWAITS SCHOOL SYSTEM UPHELD

Those critics Of Ilawaii's public schools who
have been trying to upset the entire school sys-
TEN i'm order to secure the discharge of two men
will probably not derive much satisfaction from
the announcement that the state Of California is
now recognizing its own educational system
and will attempt to put it on precisely the same
basis as that of this territory.
The state legislature now has the matter in
hand and at last accounts had received a report
from the assembly's subcommittee on education.
This report calls for state board Of education
and board Of experts to be named by the board
of education.
This board of education, under the bill, shall
consist Of seven laymen TO serve without pay, and
who shall not while engaged in the work Of the
state board of education hold a position as a
teacher or educator, or be in any way connected
with an educational institution.
The members of the board of education shall
receive per diem of SIS for the actual time they
devote to the state school work.
The real work will be performed by the board
of experts to he known as deputy superintend-
ents They will have special departments as fol-
lows: One to be superintendent or commission
er Of the elementary schools, one to be commits
sioner of the secondary schools, and the third to
be commissioner of the industrial and vocational
training schools. They will receive a salary of
$4,000 per year and serve at the pleasure of the
board.
The state superintendent of public instruction
will be the executive officer and the secretary of
the state board of education unless otherwise
provided or ordered.
: In the measure are provisions and details for
the distribution of free text books and the details
of the administration of the state school depart
ment.
The members of the state board of education
will be named by the governor and shall serve at
his pleasure.
California's new system corresponds closely
to the territorial system In Hawaii the com
missioners of public instruction are laymen, and
the supervising principals perform much the
same function that the board of experts or dep
uty superintendent are to perform in Califor-
MIA.
