OPPOSES move
To BUY GIFT
CONGRESSMAN GRAY THINKS 1T
IN BAD TASTE FOR HOUSE TO
BUY WEDDING GIFT.
(By Associated PrcsS.)

Washington, Oct 3O-Representa-
tive Gray, Democratic, of Indiana, de-
nounced in the House today the plan
for subscriptions from congressman to
wedding gift for Miss Jessie Will
son, daughter of the President. Gray
declared he wished to be absolved
from the movement to give the Pres
ident's daughter a wedding present.
He said it was bad taste and has for
its foundation the desire to attract
attention.
Gray said few members of tn House
knew the bride-elect and if the we'd
ding was recognized at all by the
House it should be done through reso-
lutions.
Republican Leader Mann ended the
incident by saying it was hopeless to
try to put into Grays- soul the ex-
preston which finds itself in the heart
of every other member of this House.

Pictured as Martyr"

Plymouth. Mass, Oct. 30.-The case
of Jennie May Eaton, charged with
the murder of her husband, Rear Ad-
miral Joseph G. Eaton, was given to
the jury shortly after 6 o'clock last
night.
Various exhibits, including bottles
of arsenic and letters written by Mrs.
Eaton, were taken to the jury room to
be considered by the jury in accord
ance with the instructions of Chief
Justice Aiken.
Almost the entire day was taken up
with the arguments of counsel, the
charge of Judge Aiken occupying only
half an hour
William A. Morse, counsel for Mrs.
Eaton spoke for four hours, drawing a
picture of the defendant as a loving,
self-sacrificing wife, entirely justified
in her beliefs about her husband. She
was martyr" and her only fault
was that she loved too much" her
attorney declared.
The accused woman" he said,
does not avail herself of any claim
of insanity to avoid sonuemnation,
but bravely demands verdict on I've
facts" Mr.. Morse asserted He SAID
his client was not insane snd argued
that the evidence showed the dssth e.
the Admiral could not have been
caused by an insane person.
District Attorney Albert F. Barker,
after outlining the evidence against
the accused, asked that if the jury be-
lieved the defendant was irresponsible,
she be found mot guilty by reason of
insanity
"She is more dangerous than rat
tlesnake and there is no telling whom
she may bite next if she is allowed her
freedom" he added

Wilson Has New Plan.

Washington, Oct 30.-President Will
son has under consideration new
plan for restoring peace in Mexico
which he will discuss with his cabinet
Friday and make public within a few
days.
Officials were reticent as. to what is
contemplated. As the United States
has asked not, only the European gov
ernments but those of Latin-America
and the Orient to withhold the for
mutation of their policy toward Mexi-
co until the Washington government
can make known its plans for dealing
with the situation, the solution on
which the President and Secretary
Bryan are working is believed to be
more specific than any suggestions
heretofore made for the pacification
of the Southern republic.
High officials of the government
while declining to say what steps
would be taken by the United States
declared that the purposes and aims
of the government had been explained
in the Presidents speech at Swarth-
more, Pa, and Mobile, Ala.
The American governments course
of action will be embodied in formal
note which it is expected will set forth
the principle that constitutional gov
ernment alone must be established out
Of the chaos in Mexico and will sug-
gest means of accomplishing that pur-
pose.
The inability of the Huerta govern
ment to conduct constitutional cleo
ton, it is thought will lead the Amer
lean government to suggest a method
of holding the election in which safe
guards and guarantees can be given
which will permit the Constitutional
lists to participate freely. Diplomats
here generally believe that before sug-
gestions concerning any election can
be carried out the elimination of
Huerta from the situation must be ac-
complished.
It is thought that in much the same
way as President Wilson outlined re-
Gently to John Lind, the points on
which a satisfactory settlement of the
trouble in Mexico seemed to be condi-
toned, he will repeat his suggestions
but will add the stipuation that some
one acceptable to all factions be
placed in provisional authority to con-
duct fair and free election. Details
Of an election plan, it is thought,
would accompany such suggestions.

ment in their respective communities.
Dan. G. McGilvray, an ex-deputy
sheriff and operating detective agency,
asked as to his recollection of the
charge to grand jury by Judge John
son following that in which the Davis
and other indictments were found,
said the Judge asked "if the jurors
would abstain from use of prejudice,
and if they would indict any man
through prejudice, as some grand
jurors had been known to do" He
said the Judge added that some grand
jurors were as far below the men they
indicted as was a worm below the
clouds" Said he did not know whom
the Judge had in mind. 1t might
have been him, as he had "once been
indicted by just such cattle as the
Judge referred to-" Asked his opinion

character and will undoubtedly attract
considerable attention. Mrs. McCune,
the alleged victim of the murder, died
suddenly more than fifteen years ago
under peculiar circumstances. AL
though no definite charges were made
at the time it was strongly suspected
by the friends and neighbors of the
woman that she had been murdered by
her husband to enable him to marry
the girl to whom he was then paying
attention Many years passed, howev-

county was aroused to action by the

FRIENDS SAY
{. N. WATSON
IS The man

Attorney E. NJ. Watson is leaving
for Washington on the Lurline this
evening with the assurance that no
appointment of governor for the terri
tory will be made until he arrives at
the capital and with the further as
surance Of strong support locally.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr.. Wat
son made arrangements to sail on
the Lurline today. He had first in
tended to sail on the Mongolia, but
was unable to secure the necessary v
booking and It was not until late in
the afternoon that his plans were
finally settled. He will be accompa-
MED by his wife.
Bronzed and alert-Iooking after sew
eral weeks at Kohala beach, Mr.. Wat
son this morning showed an improve
ment in health during the past few
months that his friends declare is
wonderful. Moreover, he expresses
himself as absolutely confident that
he can make the trip without trouble.
II have not the slightest doubt that
I am well able to make the trip" he
said this morning. Some time ago
expressed myself as against going to
Washington simply to seek the office,
but / am going now because feel it
is my duty. My friends believe that as
/ am a candidate, should, under the
circumstances, 60 to washington,
since 1t is evident the president and
secretary of the interior wish to see
all the candidates there"
Mr.. Watson is not accompanied by
a nurse. and he laughingly remarked
this morning that IL he could make
the trip across the continent six
months ago, there is no need for him
to worry about it now. While he has
not made public the source of the
cablegram that came to him yester-
day, IL may be authoritatively stated
that the message came from promi-
nent Democrat in congress who is q
strong Watson supporter, and the
fact that the cablegram has come en-
courages Mr.. Watson's local support
ers to believe that he has an exceed
ingly good chance Of being named
the next governor OF Hawaii.
II freely admit that If it is neces-
'sary for the governor of the territory.
to run foot-races or to pat on the
gloves, would have to be count al
out, said Mr.. Watson frankly thiJ
1n0rning. rBut az far-as the other
requisites 60, 7 feel perfectly up to the
work Otherwise ! wouldn't be going
TO washington"
The comment In political circles
this morning was frequently to the ef-
feet that II Watson's health permits
Kim to go to Washington, he may b.
sure Of plenty Of support here. and on
this theory, the balance of opinIon,
which has been leaning to McCand-
less, began today to swing the other
way.

By LAURENCE REDINGTON

The AlI-Hawaii polo team is home
again. Captain Walter FSDillingham,

old Castle, the two first mentioned ac-.
companied by their families. renewed
their acquaintance with Diamond
Head from the deck of the Wilhelmi-

invasion has been one grand success

fore long.
The four men who put Hawaii on

in east or west, Hawaii will be fac

but good words for. everything con-

the polo fields of California. There
is not Kick or complaint from any
one of them, but, being students of
the game. as well as past masters of
its exploitation, they are able to throw
some interesting side lights on the
why and the wherefore of their VIC
tories and their defeats. What they
have to say regarding ponies, playing
conditions, and the various little in
cidents which go to make up the luck
of the game, is intensely interesting to
the initiated. In a nutshell, the Ha-
waii team, although beaten by Coro-
nado and the Slashers, proved itself
to be about the equal in the long run
of any four ever seen on the Pacific
coast This is not the Judgment of
the players themselves, but rather the
verdict of experts of both the east and
west, who told the Hawaiians some
very flattering things about them
selves, their mounts and their sports
manship, said compliments being
drawn rather reluctantly from the re-
turning players. Every man was
willing to retail some compliment paid
to one of his teammates, and by proc

No Place for INDECENT Patients
To Go in Honolulu Is Condi-
ton Again Shown Up

Stating that the authorities of the
Queens Hospital refused to admit lit
tie 12-year-old Louisa Mitchell as a
city and county patient because she
came to the hospital through the gates
of the Girls Industrial School, Miss
Starrett, matron of the girls school,
in applying for a settlement of the
case today brought up question
which may result in action being
taken through the legislature.
Miss Starrett stated this afternoon
same to the hospital through the gates
the complaint is maze was taken to
the Queens Hospital in a serious condi-
tion and that it was Unly after the
matron had declared that she would
stand good for all expenses incurred
that the girl was admitted. Dr. Way
son. the city and county physician, re-
fused to o. K. any expense account
that might be incurred, on the ground
that the girl had been sent to the
hospital from the Girls Industrial
School and that therefore the terri
torial authorities should pay for her
maintenance. ...:
When seen this morning Attorney
General w. w. Thayer stated that he
could find, after an examination of
the charter of the hospital, nothing
which makes it obligatory for the au-
thorities to receive INDECENT patients.
This matter, it appears, IS left to the
discretion of the city and county ply

s There is no Well-marked, macadam

who travel the road must cut their
way through the jungle of the un-
known and the untried, and as you

So said Read Admiral Homer Stan
ford, U. s. N, chief of the Bureau of
Yards and Docks, who has come from
Washington to tackle the Pearl Har-
Dor conditions first hand. Admiral
Stanford Is master of simile, and
lis comparison between the open road
and the path perilous, in connection
with the engineering problems which
confront the naval experts in the max
ing of the big ship basin, hits the nail
squarely on the head.
1t would be mere guesswork, and
very unwise as well for me to hazard
any opinion as to what methods
will be used in making the drydock," !"
continued Admiral Stanford, chatting
with a Star-Bulletin reporter at the
Moana Hotel last night "We are here
TO make investigation and If possible
arrive at results It may be some
time before we have all the data re-
quired, and have formulated plans"
