FORMER GARY MAN
IS NOW EDITOR
Jay Edwards Edits "The
Ratchet" Trade Paper
Printed at Capital.

jay Edward, head clerk in the Hotel
Washington at Indianapolis, formerly
of Gary, is the editor-in- chief of The
Ratchet to be issued every rev moon
for the benefit of the fraternity. 1t is
known as the first trade journal for
hotel clerks and has the recommends
ton of Ebert Hubbard who says that
there is enough literary salt in it to
save it FIR posterity.
"A man never realizes" says The
Ratchet. how strong thread is until
he sees 4s-inch woman squeezed in
to a 36-inch skirt. And you can't max e
IA woman believe that it is wrong 10
gamble as long as her husband quits
a winner"
All this martial advice is confined
to one page. The rest is commentary
on the calling of a hotel clerk. ANY
one can hand out pen and shove over
a register" says The Hatchet, ARE you
that kind of clerk?' The main edi-
torial goes on the theory that work is
not ignoble and sorrow only perverted
joy. 1t is in part:
The Man Who Hires You.
IF you are of ordinary clay, you
Was that right?
at your best ever dope out the rela-
ton between you and the boss? You
did, of course, or thought you did. You
convinced yourself that the boss was a
dub: that he had drag with the high
cards; that he was it because he mar
ried into the firm, or otherwise got in
on a foul.
you reasoned that way when you
were thinking at your poorest; when
things were not going well with you
and when you were in the grip of a
great big crouch
| Lets get right on this.
I've cried out against unkind con-
ditions that hamper the man who
works. Like you, I've read Karl Marx
and I've listened to the street orators
calling on the workers to rise and gel
what belongs to them That was the
finest lot of predigested rot 1 ever
heard.
! There is just one truth that I see
| in all this literature about the rela-
ton of the employee and the employer
and 1t is this:
That their interests are identical
They are on the same team and should
be working toward the same goal"

GARY MEN TAKEN
AS, BURGLARS BY
HAMMOND POLICE

1--WE had nothing to eat, no work. no
pay. What do you want us to do? Lay
down on a railroad tracks and have
our heads cut OFF,
That is what Ignatz Duband, speak
ing for himself and Harry Tussi told
Judge Wildermuth in the Gary police
court today when they were arraigned
on burglary charge
The two men were arrested by the
Hammond police. 1t appears that they
stole some clothing from the boarding
house where they were staying in Gary.
Instead of getting local police assist
ance the landlord tracked the pair to
a house in Hammond and then caused
their arrest
Dubana and Tussi were given fines
that will keep them in Jail for So days.

NEGRO CLEAN UP
IN GARY TODAY

Every idle negro found in Gary in
side of "a hours will be Jailed
This is the ultimatum that Chief
Martin issued today. The chief blames
the influx Of idle negroes as RESPONSE
bic for the many recent holdups.
And the negroes are laughing at the
police since one of their number who
attacked a white woman last week was
only fined 81 in the police court Had
this occurred down south a lynching
would have occurred and the Judge
would have heard from the white wom-
ZEN.

ADMIRAL EATON WAS 4 DRUG. PEND
Contention of Defence at Trial of His WdowAssertion That He Obtained 46OO Tablets From Boston Physician Also That Lives of His Crew at Sea Had Been Endang cred by His Drug and Liquor Habits

the widow without any means of sup port for herself, her mother and her daughter The defendant the attorney added, would rot hide behind a cloak of insanity nor ask for special priv ileges on account of her sex.
 AdmiraPs Tippling Habits.
 pr. F. Fremont Smith of Washing ion. D. C.. testified at considerable length regarding the admiraPs habits of intoxication during his first wife's illness and her death. During the testimony of. Dr. Smith it was brought out that naval records show Admiral Eaton to have been afflicted with a disease for which arsenic and other drugs are sometimes administered. It was Dr. Smith who secured the ser vices of Mrs. D. H. Ainsworth to nurse the admiraIs first wife, and he described her as faithful and true to her charge She later became Mrs. Eaton and is now the defendant in the case.
 Naval Officers Testify.
 Rear Admiral Charles E. Clark, com mander of the battleship Oregon on her famous voyage around the Horn, gave testimony as to the personal habits of Rear Admiral Eaton. As president of the naval examining and retiring board, he said he declined request from Rear Admiral Eaton for an assignment to a position on some
 
 habits of intemperance on the part of Eaton. To this Admiral Eaton replied that he had been forced on account of illness to take something which caused the condition referred to.
 Lieutenant Holden c. Richardson, now on duty as a naval constructor at Hammondsport, N. Y, testified that while junior watch officer of the bat tleship Massa chusetts in 1903 he had seen Captain Joseph G. Eaton, then master of that vessel, in condition of apparent intoxication. He had never noticed any odor of liquor from his breath. but had seen him stagger and act in other ways like an intoxt- cated man.
 Held Court While Drunk.
 Lieutenant Richardson told of one occasion when, on the way to the Azores. Captain Eaton appeared on the bridge dressed in pajamas and gave orders which if carried out. the witness said. would have put the battleship in of the squadron. At another time the witness saw Captain Eaton, while seemingly intoxicated. hold mast or court on the battleship, and in that condition sentence two seamen for drunkenness.
 In cross examination Lieutenant Richardson was asked why, if the condition of Captain Eaton was so serious that the ship and the lives of those aboard were endangered, he did not make 3, report of the situation to anyone except the ships surgeon and the navigating officer. The witness declined to answer on the ground that he was not on trial.
 Customary to Report Such Gases.
 Rear Admiral Clark took the witness stand again at the request of District Attorney Barker and was asked whether it was not the duty of an officer in such circumstances as Lieu tenant Richardson described to make a formal report. Admiral Clark re- piled in the negative. but said that it was customary to report such 8. sit uation to the executive officer of the ship.
Norwich bulletin., 1913-10-24

Plymouth. Mass, Oct. 2S.-Rear Ad- miral Joseph c. Eaton, whose widow. Mrs. Jennie May Eaton, is on trial here, charged with his murder, was painted in the opening address of the defense today as "a drug fiend," and a man of dual personaIity-a veritable Dr.. Jekyl and MT. Hyde.'
 Attorney Francis J. Geogan, who made the opening argument, declared it would be shown that Admiral Eaton was addicted to the use of liquor and drugs to such an extent that he en- dangered his vessel and the lives of men under him when in the navy. Drug Secured from Boston Physician
 The death of the admiral was due, Attorney Geogan insisted, to arsenic self administered. This was secured, he said, from a Boston physician who supplied the admiral in all with 4,6O0 tablets containing the poison. to be used as medicine
 Mir Geogan announced that Mrs Eaton the defendant, would take the stand and tell the story of her life. After outlining the principal points of Mrs. Eaton's story, including her dl- vorce from her first husband, her mar riags to Admiral Eaton, and their re- moval to the Assinippi farm to raise chickens Attorney Geogan touched on the events immediately preceding the a1miraTs death.
 No Sinister Significance to Remark.
 He described the visit which Mrs. Eaton made to her married daughter, Mrs June Reyes, in AIedford, three days before the admiral died The day Mrs. Eaton went to June's home, said MT Geogan. she bade the ad- miral an affectionate farewell and left him in the barn with man who was buying a load of hay. He said as she left; There's a fine woman. She's a good wife
  home of June Reyes. We will show you that when she said I'll go home and attend to him, there was no sin ister significance attached to her words.
 NFWhen she reached home she had miral: Don't you want some break fast?' and he replied: I've lost one breakfast already; I don't want an- other
 No Friction or Misunderstanding.
 He was i'll all day and Mrs. Eaton saiG I guess I'll call a doctor She walked to the window and saw the doctor coming. Dr. Frame visited the admiral but couldn't find anything se- Eiously wrong with him.
 She administered to his wants like an affectionate wife all day running up and down stairs and waiting on him
 movements of the accused wid- CIV during the week of the admiraTs death were described in detail by the defenses lawyer
 we will show you there was no friction between Mrs. Eaton and her husband right up to the time of his illness" he said. There was no mis- understanding"
 Ne Motive for Desiring His Death.
 Mir. Geogan said it would be shown that the admiral left Mrs. Eaton noth- ing but a heritage of debts and that she could have no motive for desiring his death. On the other hand he said she had as a motive for keeping him alive the fact that an income of S4,500 a year. representing the admiraFs re- tired pay, ceased on his death, leaving

Traveller from Mexico Says That is Only Way to Settle the Trouble.

Friedrich Hermann Schobess, owner of the Storer farm and manager of the New York office of Hugo Sherer Jr., & Co.,. has returned after visiting his former home in Mexico Mr. Schobess was a visitor in this city on Tuesday. He talks interestingly of the troubled conditions in Mexico and gives it as his opinion that the only solution of the difficulty is interven- tion on the part of the United States With peace assured, there would be a very bright future for the country, as Mexico is rich in natural resources For instance. there are more oil wells there than in all the United States, but British companies hold the concessions and there is no chance for United States capital in the oil business there The picture of the Wantonness of the people has been very much overdrawn said Mir. Schobess. He averred that MeXicans are not so bad as they have been painted and that under an honest government they would make d rapid advance. The trouble is. he said that the people have been held back and have not been given a fair chance
