Civil Service Commission Rules Out Evidence Re.

GRAFT DEFENSE
 ATTACKS WOMAN
Attorneys for Mrs. Rowe Intended to Question Mrs. Eaton Concerning Her Alleged Relations with Late Y. s.
 Senator Sabin.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-A scandal that would have rocked official Chicago was averted today when the city civil service commission barred state ments reflecting in the character of Mrs. Page Walter Eaton, principal in the charges of graft involving Mrs. Louise Osborne Rowe, chief of the department of public welfare.
 It was a boomerang that is said to have induced the higher ups in the society administration to prevail on the civil service commission to rule out as inadmissible the testimony aimed to discredit Mrs. Eaton, whose charges that Mrs. Rowe compelled her to turn ever one-third Of her salary to a fund believed to have been created for the benefit of Mrs. Margart Migelas, sister-in-law of Mayor Will Hale Thompson.
 The stage was set for the hearing of the entire life history of Mrs. Ea.on. In one of the ante-chambers sat Mrs. Dwight Sabin, widow Of former United States Senator Sabin of Minnesota, while Mrs. Eaton was being subjected to merciless cross examination by Attorney Malato. Malatc, was prepared to question the former head concerning her rela- lions with former senator. A ripple of applause swept over the crowded room when Capt. Paccy B. Coffin. president of the merit body, ruled that all evidence on the character of Mrs. Eaton should be barred.
 Even Mrs. Rowe joined in the ap- plause. Captain Coffin declared that, however, that counsel for Mrs. Rowe would be allowed to introduce ev1- dence bearing on Mrs. Eatonis truth and veracity.
 It was the aim of MT. Malato and Attorney James Hickey, his associate, to prove that Mrs. Eaton had filed a claim of more than $S,000 against the estate of Senator Sabin and that she had agreed to a settlement of $1,OO0, following an investigation by insur- ance company Investigators. Senator sabin had made Mrs. Eaton, then Page Waller Sampson, beneficiary of two insurance policies amounting to S22,5O0.

A. w. Nunn Explains How Entire City is Interested Directly. and Carl Baer of Little Rock Advocates
 Close CO.0peration.

Two score or more of the leading business men and the largest ship pers of Pine Bluff last night reached the definite decision not only 70 sup port the Pine Bluff traffic bureau but to support it in far better manner than has been done at any time since the organization of the bureau on April l, 1913, nearly three years ago. z Before the meeting closed. the deci- sion was reached unanimously that $5,00O per year is necessary to prop erly maintain and operate the traffic bureau, and that this amount must be raised. r
 There was quick answer to the cali for volunteers to raise this fund, and the decision. was reached to make it 2 "one day campaign" The com mittee will be named today or tomor- row. J
 The amount now at hand for the traffic bureau is about $3,000 per year hence $2,000 additional will have to be raised by the canvassers.
 There were three talks of particular significance made at the meeting. which was held in the assembly hall of the chamber of commerce, and there were several additional i'm promptu talks, which endorsed what the preceding speakers had said.
 R. M. McWiiliams, assistant freight agent of the Iron Mountain Carl j.. Baer of Little Rock, manager of the Little Rock board of commerce and president of the Arkansas River irs- provement association, and w. B. Morgan of the Morgan Veneer com pany of Pine Bluff, made the more important addresses.
 Others who spoke were A. w. Mum. Mayor Simon Bloom. B. D. Russell, Secretary E. B. Bloom of the cham Der of commerce. Commissioner w. M. Taylor of the traffic bureau. Presi. dent Coles of the Arkansas Oak Floor ing company, and others.
 MT. McWilliams, MT. Baer and MT. Morgan pointed out plainly the very great benefits to be derived by any 1 community and any individual firm. from a traffic bureau, stressine also the handicaps under which any com munity and any individual firm would labor, without traffic bureau. The talks were not technical, and they were enthusiastic and Interesting. They were serious discussions, by men of experience, of problem that is great in it's potentialities, and that I is admitted to be of serious moment 1 to Pine Bluf, at this period of its

Washington, Feb. 25.--A demand for the immediate release of the 3S pas scngers who were taken off the Amer ican steamer China of the China Mail Steamship line, Dy a British cruiser, was made on Great Britain today by the state department.
 Although the state department has not yet received "offica! details" from the American consul at Shanghai, it was decided in the instance to depart from the usual custom of waiting un- til the last word" was in before talk ing action.
 The few facts in possession of the state department show that the China was two days out from Shanghai about ten days ago, when she was stopped by British cruiser. The 3s passengers, who. it is thought, are Germans, were transferred to the War ship.
 The protest framed by the state department calls for an explanation from Great Britain of the "improprie- ty of the removal of 38 passengers from merchant vcssel.' The state department expects Great Britain to urge as a defense that the passen gers are German reservists and were on their way to the military establish- ment of Germany
 This government stands on, the ground that no person can be taken from an American ship. The fact that the China was bound from San Fran cisco is in itself sufficient denial of the British contention that the pas senpers were en route to Germany.

An employee Of the purchasing firm
began going over the documents and
letters and discovered q great number
Of old, foreign stamps. He reported the
matter to his employers and they or
dered him to go through the whole lot
and pick out every stamp that seemed

at over $4,000, thus giving the firm q

Uses Of LIQUID Air.

Liquid air is poorly adapted to the
uses which were suggested for 1t
when II was first made In large guam
tities-that Is, for refrigeration and
for power. Its latent heat OF evepora'
ton is small and its specific heat Is
also small. 1t cannot compete with
ammonia for refrigeration. 1t cannot
be kept in closed vessel, but must
always have vent to the air. For
explosives many better materials are
available. II is used to some extent
to secure the oxygen of the air by first
liquefying the air and then boiling on
the nitrogen, which boils at a lower
temperature than the oxygen.
