John Eagan Turned Hospi-
tai Section into Mass
of Wreckage
WAS SUBDUED AFTER
A HARD STRUGGLE
Stripped Naked, He Was a
Difficult Opponent to
Handle

John Eagan, who was placed in
Washington county Jail Sunday for
safe keeping, having been in poor health
of late, started in this morning to clean
up the hospital portion Of the jail and
before he stopped he had made a good
start on the work, having pulled two
radiators from the walls, removed the
wash bowl, shifted the bathtub from
one side Of the room to the other, pulled
the cold air register out Of the wall,
broken the window and, finally. smash
ing up DR. G. T. Hunts medical equip
ment when the physician entered the
place to care for the man.
Most of the officers were away when
the racket started so that the police
were called and they, along with other
help, placed the man in irons, but only
after considerable trouble.
Eagan's action in breaking the iddia
tors and other pipes resulted in letting
the water run into the hospital to a
depth of about an inch. Plumbers were
busy during the remainder of the day
making the repairs required after Eag-
ans wild rampage
Eagan had been raying all night but
ii was not until this morning that he
began his work OF destruction He had
stripped himself Of clothing so that he
was hard TO get hold of when the olli-
GERS went to subdue the man. Eagau
was under treatment at the state hos.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
CALL TO BE MADE SOON
Three Is Some Doubt Whether Presi-
dent Wilson or Premier Clemen-
ceau Will Issue the Call.

Paris, Dec. %. Informal notice of
the first meeting of the council of the
league of nations will probably be Civ
en- day or two after the exchange Of
ratifications Of the treaty Of Versailles
Ambassador Wallace cabled the state
department in Washington to this ef-
feet after this mornings meeting of the
supreme council, which had the ques-
tion under consideration.
1t is still an open question whether
the formal call for the meeting viii be
issued by President Wilson, as origi-
nally provided for, or whether, in view
of the fact that the United States has
not ratified the treaty, the call shall
be issued by Premier Clemenceau, the
president Of the peace conference. This
question, as well as the place for the
meeting of the members Of the council
will probably be decided tomorrow
The date for the exchange of ratifi-
cations, on which the call for the meet
ing of the leagues council depends, is
still an uncertain one, nothing having
been heard from the Germans in re-
sponse to the latest allied note. The
expectation in official circles is that
some word from Berlin regarding the
subject will be at hand by tomorrow
unless interrupted telegraphic trans
mission causes further delay.
According to the terms of the peace
treaty, Germany was to furnish by
Dec. 81 statement regarding num-
Der of different questions dealt with
by the treaty, As the exchange of rati-
fications is not yet definitely in sight,
however, the council to-day considered
the possibility of extending the time
for this statement
The conditions under which Germany
is to turn over the light cruisers de-
manded as part of the reparation for
the destruction of the Scapa Flow fleet
also was discussed by the council 1t
was decided during the session to send
congratulations to General Niessel,
heading the mission to the Baltic, on
the manner in which its task in con
nection with the evacuation of the Bal.
tic provinces by the German troops had
been carried out.

conducted an inquiry into disorders at
Fiume last July, was unsparing in his
criticism and closed by declaring: "Dis-
content is creeping into the army be-
cause of injustiees which have been
committed, but / trust Italy will tri-
umph over all present difficulties"
"Anglo- commerce" he de-
clared needed Fiume as a port of
penetration into central Europe, prefer
ring to have it in the hands of small
country rather than under the control
of great power. This plan was backed
by the peace conference, which was fa-
vorable to the Slav peoples, wishing
them to form barrier against a resliT

capitalists selected these ports for this
purpose, Fiume, Danzig and CONSTANT
