ESSFUL RAID
MADE BY OFFICERS
On House at Industrial; Six
Caught, All Pay Fines
and were Released.

Justice Jackson V. Carter, assisted
by Constables &c. l.. Ford, Thomas r.
Kearns and Charles Mcvfcker, made
a raid upon a house at Industrial
Wednesday night at 10 O'Clock AMI
arrested Mrs. Alas Kyle charged with
running a house of i'll repute, and
six inmates, namely, Nellie Williams,
William Cartright, n. a. Wheatley,
John Jones and Frank Henderson.
They were all taken to Justice Car
ter's Office where they paid fines ana
costs amounting to $3.50 each.
The warrant upon which the raid
was made was sworn out by resi-
dent of that section who complained
of being disturbed by the noise made
by the men and women who would
gather at the house at night, and
who never left until daylight the
next morning.
Mrs. Kyle was released upon pay,
ment of her fine as she had four
small children at home and no one
to look after them, but the justice

plants came in about her she would
be punished to the full extent of the
law.

REAR ADMIRAL s WIDOW IS
CHARGED WITH HIS DEATH
WI SON RESIGNS
UNDER. Mr.. BRYAN
AS He Does Not Like Presi-
dents Radical Policy
Toward China.
(By Associated Press !

WASHINGTON, ID. &C., Mar. 20
Huntington Wilson, assistant and
acting secretary of state, has re-
signed that office and insisted upon
immediate acceptance Of the resig-
nation because OF his radical differ
ence of opinion with the administra-
tion regarding its Chinese policies.
President Wilson Immediately ac-
cepted the resignation.
Mr.. Wilson rendered his resignation
as matter of form to President VIII
son directly after the latter's assump-
tion Of office. He was requested to
continue in his place until 1t should
be convenient for the president to
name his successor and he consented
to do SO to accommodate Secretary
Bryan, who desired to make a visit to
Lincoln, Neb.
The issue of the statement from
the White House defining the admin
istration's attitude regarding the
Chinese loan negotiations is believed
to have been regarded by Secretary
Wilson as sufficient to justify him in
requesting to be relieved at once from
duty. After telegraphing notice to
Secretary Bryan of his intentions, Mr.
Wilson late yesterday dispatched a
note to the White House terminat.n
his own service and President Wilson
Immediately designated Second AS
sistant Secretary Adee to act as sec
rotary of state during Secretary
Bryans present absence.
In a 1000 word letter to President
Wilson the former acting secretary
of state set forth that when he con
sented to continue for a time with the
new administration he did not under
stand there were to be any radical
changes of policy for which he would
be called upon to act as spokesman.

in Jail without Privi-
lege of Bail.
ARSENIC WAS USED
Peculiar Features Of His
Death Are Kept Secret by
the Authorities.
(By Associated press.)

HINGEtAjM, Mass, Mar. 20-Mrs.
Eaton, widow of Rear Admiral JOS
eph G. Eatca, was arrested here to-
day charged withtthe murder of her
husband. Mrs. Eaton was wit
ness at the secret inquiry into her
husbands death. She drove from
her home in an automobile accom-.
panied by two police officers.
District Attorney Parker an
nounced the arrest in the following
statement:
Mrs. Eaton is under arrest
charged with the murder Of her hus.
band, Rear Admiral Baton. Admir-
al Eaton did not die natural death.
This fact was communicated to me
on March 10 by Professor Whitney
in preliminary report and has been
known to the officers working on the
case since that time. Death was due
to arsenical poisoning. Peculiar
features which are involved have
prevented the authorities from com
|municating them to the public.
I'VE have been unable thus far
to ascertain where the poison was
procured. Mrs. Eaton was arrested
at her home this morning"
Mrs. Eaton was later arraigned
before Judge Pratt who conducted
the inquest She pleaded not guilty
and was committed to Jail without
bail for further clearing on Marcn
2S.
Admiral Eaton died suddenly the
morning Of March s. He was 66
years old but according to his
friends had been in good health. Two
days later the body was buried at
Gracut, his former home. There was
no service at the grave and besides
the undertaken and newspaper men
only the widow and her daughter
by another marriage witnessed the
interment.
The rear admiral had seen thirty
nine years service in the navy. He
commanded the transport, ''Reso-
lute,'5' at Santiago and received a
medal of Sonor for his share in that
battle. He was born in Alabama
and was twice married. The present
Mrs. Eaten was formerly the wife OF
+. A. Ainsworth, once a clerk in the
United States Senate. Her father
was George Harrison and the fam
lily nome was at Alexandria. va. She
is 40 years of age.
The investigation is said to have
developed that her married life was
not altogether happy. Her explana-
ton that her husband died from an
attack of Indigestion did not satisfy
the medical examiner and after con
ferring with the family physician
he delayed the burial of the body I'M
til post morton had been made.
Mrs. Eaton has two daughters By
her first marriage, one of whom,
Dorothy Ainsworth, lived with her.
