JURY SOON WILL DECIDE
THEFAlt OF MRS. EATON
Attorney Morse Denounces
Husband in Closing Plea
for the Defense.

! PLYMOUTH, Mass, October 29.-The
closing argument in. behalf OF Mrs.
Jennie May Eaton. charged with the
murder Of her husband. Rear Admiral
Joseph Giles Eaton, was made today
by William A. Morse. He allowed him
self two hours for his effort to con-
vince the jury that the evidence had
shown, that the rear admiral himself
had administered the poison which
caused his death. 1t was expected that
the case would go to the jury late this
afternoon.
Attorney Morse told the jurors that
even though they might believe Mrs.
Eaton guilty. they had no right to con-
vict unless the evidence In the case
was conclusive, and he added:
There is no evidence upon which you
can find that this woman, committed
the act charged. or that she Ia so in
sane that she could commit crime and
not be responsible for IT.
Reviews Mrs. Eaton's Life.
He reviewed the incidents Of. Mrs.
Eaton's life, as related by the defendant
on the witness stand. and declared that
because she was the victim Of circum-
stances she was forced to face a murder
charge"
Admiral Eaton was incorporate and
possessed q. mind that was vile. but he
had a polished exterior. Attorney Morse
said. He took drugs to the end of his
life. His wife had been faithful and the
letters written by her and offered as ex-
hibits had been prompted by pity for
her miserable husband.
The prosecution, the attorney said, had
been unable to find a motive for the
crime, and so had suggested, several
from which the jury might choose.

Commissioners. in-session at the inter-
state commission. Laurence B. Finn.
chairman Of the Kentucky railroad
commission. brought up. the question
when he delivered "a, speech entitled
Should Congress Extend the Power of
the Federal Government to the Regu-
lation of Intrastate. Ratesg'
He opp osed the extension and submit
ted long argument against 1t, con-
Guiding by Offering resolution putting
the association on record against it.
Commissioner John a. Marble of the

the resolution. It was supported by
Commissioner G.. A. Henshaw Of Okla
homa and John NJ. Eshleman of Cali
tornia. The resolution was tabled!
Reasons for Adoption.
Mr.. Finn said it appeared to him that
il the authority to regulate intrastate
rates should be transferred to the fed
eral government: a., justifiable ap-
prehension wouldg naturally arise that
the transfer would be made. at the sac
rlfice of efficiency. He quoted from

for the solution OF such questions
there is but one issue OF fact. namely,
is the rate established just and rea-
sonable?
Possible to Avoid Conflict.
ut will require the full strength Of
both state and federal governments to
cope with the. ever-increasing strength,
power and wealth of public service corpo-

counsel and honest purpose 1t is possible
to steer between the Scylla of federation,
which would destroy the effectiveness Of
