MRS. EATON MAY
PLEAD INSANITY

Plymouth, Mass, March 22-It was
SAID here last night that it was prob
able Mrs. Jennie May Eaton would
never be tried on a charge of MUIR
dering her husband, Rear Admiral Jo-
serh Eaton. The appointment of a
commission to pass en- her sanity has
been suggested. She is now in Jail,
held without bail. Her examination is
Ito take place March 2S.
Admiral Eaton died at his home in
Norwell, where he lived with his wife,
her mother, Mrs. George Harrison, and
his step-daughter, Dorothy Ainsworth.
The death was unexpected and due, the
other members of the family said, to
Indigestion that followed a too hearty
meal of roast pork
Circumstances led to an investiga-
ton and, according to District Attor-
nev Baker, evidence of arsenicaI poi
soning was discovered by Professor
v liam F. Whitney, who analyzed the
contents of the stomach. The arrest
vas ordered on a verbal communica-
tiou from the professor to the district
attorney
The admiral and his wife, who was
more than 20 years his junior, did not
always agree, it was said, regarding
/ persons who should be received at
( Il cir home. Both had been married
! before.
The admirals first wife was Mary
Anne Varnum, whom he married at
/ Iracut in 1871, when he was a lieuten-
al. in the navy His body was buried
beside that of his first wife.
From his graduation at Annapolis
until his retirement with the rank of
rear admiral in 1905 the life of the
naval officer was filled with honors
/ and he acquired fortune. Soon after
his retirement he met Mrs. Jennie May
Ainsworth, daughter of George Harri-
son OF Alexandria, Va. Mrs. Ainsworth
later divorced her husband, D. H.
Ainsworth, an employe of the senate at
Washington, and she and the admiral
were married in 1907.
The courtship was described by the
admiral in a statement he made during
a brief estrangement from his wife
four years ago. He said:

vorced from her husband II was not

William A. Brady, Ltd., announces Ready Money" James Montgomery's comedy of love, risk, romance and thrills, which has been praised by the press of two continents, that will be presented here with the New York production, at the Elks theatre, matinee and night next Saturday.
 Ready Money" is the story of a young man who must have wealth in order to overcome the opposition of worldly-wise mother, who does not wish her daughter to marry for love alone. Stephen Baird, the hero of this romance is, indeed penniless. He has twenty-five cents at the end of the old year, when the play opeaes. It is said that rarely has a play been presented which contains so many dramatic situations and so many amusing lines. Eight months in New York, eight months in Lon- don, four months in Chicago and three months in Boston is but a brief record of the comedy's runs in thel arger cities. Ready Money" is played by company organized with Mir. Brady's we'll known
 and discrimination.
 The cast includes Corbett Morris, John M. Kline, and Mary Sullivan, lwho will have the three leading roles. Other important characters are paved by the Misses Mae Kesse, Ruth Farnum, Majorie Conroy, Messrs Bruce Elmore, Frederick Webber. Tom F.. Jones, Robert Mac Quarrie, Robert Toms, Nilsson Stuart, J. B. Dunn, Charles Glocker, w. Marsh and others.

come and grow. Each years MT. Fields seems to have reached the limit in elaborateness, but, somehow, each year about the time the pefismmons get ripe in the Southland and the dar- kies begin to dream of 'possums and sweet taters, along comes Marse Al
 with another big surprise, trying to outdo nobody but himself.
 There is nothing garish about this years production. The magnificent scenes are made up of color harmonies that are rivaled only by the music the minstrels make. The costumes, in great variety of colors, but with scar let and blue predominating, are all new, and look as if they had never been worn before. And the scenery is in keeping with the costumes. It woes without saying that the music is melodious, and there are many new jokes and a few frayed ones. But it must be borne in mind that to make
 a joke that nobody has ever heard is about as difficult as fooling all the people all the time or pleasing every body just once.
 The show" has a characteristic of Fields opening. The first scene is perhaps the most beautiful that this master minstrel has ever conceived The curtain rises on quarter moon that slants down upon a military en campment in the tropics, with banana trees overhanging matched roofs and with waterfall glistening through the branches, and the orchestra, bare ly visible in the shadows, playing "Tenting on the Old Camp Grounds . Even without the aid of the program one could tell the scene is in Panama. It is in the appropriateness of set tings that MT. Fields has always ex celled, and at this time he could not have selected a more effective setting than Panama. In the closing scenes
 one gets panoramic view of the can- al. Throughout, the production is pa triotic, Old Glory being in conspicu- ous and spectacular evidence again and again.
 The show is replete with the funni- est kind of nonsense and clever spec ialties, interspersed with first-class vocal and instrumental music galore.
 The Grand Opera House was filled to
 capacity both yesterday afternoon and last night, and if those in attendance
 stopped laughing moment during the performance to admire the marvellous scenic effects or to give expression to patriotic feeling evoked by the spec | tacular display of the Stars and
 Stripes.

"MUTT AND JEFFs

AS top heavy house entertain ment, in other words, the gallery, Mutt and Jeff in Panama" is good i; when it comes to the parquet and orchestra, the show is viewed from an entirely different angle. The dramatized cartoon fancies of Bud Fisher through the medium of Pro- ducer Gus Hill, were shown at the Elks theatre last night, and as Hill has made the proverbial barrel of money out of this production, and has been cleaning up regularly for the past few seasons with four or five feels as if he can round out this sea son with decidedly No. cast, with a few lone exceptions.
 Of course the antics and slap stick work of Mutt and Jeff in the hands of Cole Carroll and Henry Washer, were easily the comedy features of the show. The principal trouble they had to contend with was that they had to handle old material and much stage business" of the vintage of several seasons back. It was to laugh though. The makeup alone
 would have insured that.
 In the supporting cast of the pro- duction, which evolved around army affairs, and missing report o1 Notifications which an adventures secured from love sick young lieu. tenant, William F. Murphy, George Sweet, Carl Anderson, William | Bowers, Charles Teevin, Miss Marie
 Elmer, Miss Marion Langdon, Mist

 looking chorus played a considerable part. The scenic effects were good especially at the close of the second
 act. Charles H. Phillips as Benja

WANT NEW TRIAL FOR A. i. RUSSELL Attorneys Say the Court Erred in Admitting Some
 Testimony
CASES ARE PENDING
If Governor Issues Pardon District Attorney Parham VIII Likely
 Dismiss Them.

Acting for former City Collector A. G. Russell, who was recently con- victed by jury in the Jefferson cir cult court, of appropriating funds of Improvement District No. 26 to his own use, being given one year in the state prison and $500 fine, Attor- neys A. H. Rowell and E. J. Kerwin yesterday filed motion for a new trial which will probably be heard by Judge A. B. Grace this week.
 The attorneys include twenty-one assignments of error in the motion, several of them being the usual legal reasons why the defendant should have another hearing. The attorneys also contended that the court erred in refusing to allow B. A. Sheppard, ono of the witnesses, to testify whether or not Russell had settled his indebted ness with District No. 26, and in re- fusing to allow him to answer the question: "When were your assign ments due and payable and did you have stated time for settlement?'
 It is also charged by the attorneys that the court erred in admitting tes- timony showing deficits in the books of other districts when the defendant was being tried for a shortage in Cne other district. They also assigned as an error that the court gave instruc- tions on his own motion and because of his refusal to give instructions of- fered by the attorneys for the defend ant.
 Russell is still enjoying his liberty and it is not thought that ne will be sentenced until the motion for a new trial is disposed of. Notwithstanding the fact that the jurors, after con- victing him, signed petition asking Governor Hays to suspend the one year sentence, it is not likely that the chief executive will grant the prayers of the petitioners unless the trial judge and then the prosecuting attor- neys attach their signatures to the petition. Judge Grace and District At torney Parham have both emphatical- ly stated that they would not ask Governor Hays to issue pardon in
 this case.
 There are eleven more indictments pending against Russell, charging misuse of funds in other improvement districts. Whether District Attorney Parham will call these cases for trial depends largely upon the action of Governor Hays. If he should pardon the defendant District Attorney Par ham in all probability dismiss the oth- CT cases.
