MARRIED EATON TO SAVE HIS LIFE Widow on Trial for Murder Cross-Examined. DEAD MAN INTEMPERATE Witness Declares She Became Wife of Retired Naval Officer Only When 8he Saw He Was Going to Kill Him- self by Excessive Drinking. Plymouth, Mass,, Oct. 28.—Mrs, Jen- nfe May Eaton resumed the stand for cross-examination in her trial for the murder of her husband, Rear Admiral Eaton. At the suggestion of the dis- trict attorney Medical Examiner Gil- man T. Osgood of Rockford sat at & table in plain view of the defendant. Dr. Osgood, who has devoted much time to a study of insanity, jotted down notes of his observations of the witness. Attorney Morse asked Mrs. Eaton 8 single question before District At- torney Barker began his cross-ex- amination. “Did you know that your husband's income stopped with his death?” quer led Mr. Morse. “I did,” Mrs. Eaton replied. Under the questioning of the prose- cutor Mrs. Faton repeated her story regarding her early life, her marriage to her first husband, D. H. Ainsworth, and her separation from him and of her meeting with Admiral Eaton. Married Him to Save His Life, The admiral was very intemperate, she said, but under her care he drank considerably less and finally asked her to become his wife. “It was only when I saw that he was going to kill himself that I declded to marry him,” she said. “Then you married him to save his life?” asked Mr. Barker. “Yes, I married him to save his life,” replied Mrs. Eaton. Her divorce from Ainsworth and her marriage to Admiral Eaton again were recounted by the witness. Soon after their marriage her husband gave her $30,000, all of which she returned to him later. She did not know that $30,000 came from the first Mrs, Eaton, nor that the admiral had $40, 000 when he married the second time. Mrs. Eaton denied that she tried, through Dr. C. H. Colgate, to have the admiral committed to an asylum. She thought her husband appeared pecu: liar and she merely wished to have him examined. He was under the in fluence of drugs at the time. REFUSES TO HURRY THAW Governor Felker Asserts New Pro ceedings Now Necessary. Concord, N. H., Oct. 28.—Governor Felker said that, an indictment hav- ing been found against Harry K. Thaw in New York county, the papers on file with him are invalidated and that there will have to be another proceed- ing. “The defense will have all the time it needs to meet the mew issues,” he said, “and can proceed through oral argument or by brief, as counsel may desire. I think, though, that the lat- ter course will be better. I am dis- posed to give Thaw all the time he needs so that when I dispose of the case I can do so after a consideration of all the facts.” Counsel for Thaw are already pre- paring to ask Governor Felker for an extension of time to meet the new is- sues. The main question that will be raised is the legality of the indictment of an insane person. TEST CANAL FORTIFICATIONS Atlantic Fleet to Assemble Off Pana- ma’in February. Washington, ®ct. 28.—The Atlantie fleet will assemble off Panama in Feb- ruary in a war game which may last for several days and will test the for- tifications gnarding the canal. With this announcement it became known that a secret test had proved the fortifications worthless. Many changes have been made and the naval officers are anxious to put them to a test. President Wilson has been urged to be present for the tests in February and is serlously considering making the trip. It is learned that after the fall ma- neuvers off Guantanamo last year the entire fortifications and canal lock masks were reconstructed after the navy officers had made their reports. Another German Cruiser Starts. . Berlin, Oct. 28.—The German pro- tected cruiser Nuermberg has sailed from Yokohama for Mazatlan on the Pacific ccast of Mexico, where she will stay during the disturbances in that country.

IR Ak k7o v v ) MAY CONTINUETO ‘RETAIN POWER| Huerta Will Declare Mexican Election lllegal. FEW VOTERS AT POLLS Returns Indicate That Less Than Five Thousand Votes Were Cast, Al- though There Are Three Million Persons Eligible to the Franchise. Mexico City, Oct. 28.—Returns from the Mexican election showed that less than 5,000 votes were cast in the fed- eral election, including this ecity, where there are 30,000 voters. In spite of the meager voting it was expected that the congressional candidates, with the approval of Gen- eral Huerta, would declare themselves elected and their first act, it was de- clared, woull be to declare the presi- mential election void, because the to- tal vote cast was not enough to make a constitutional majority for any can- didate. They are then expected to “request™ Huerta to remain president ad in- terim until another election can be held, which will be when Huerta chooses. The stumbling block to this program is in Huerta calling the con- gressional election legal while declar- ing the presidential election void, while the same ballot was used in both. Those knowing Huerta say a little thing like that will not feaze him. The Mexican constitution sets forth that there are approximately 3,000, 000 voters in the republic and that one-third of them must vote to make an election binding. 5 The Diaz leadérs and the Catholic party, of which Frederico Gamboa was the candidate, requested their parti- sans not to vote. Few of them did. Early returns showed that very few votes in the federal district were cast for Huerta nd Blanquet. In some polling places no votes were cast all day, and it was report- ed that at several voting tables even the election officials failed to show. Huerta has issued a decree raising the federal rmy from 80,000 to 150, 000. It is said that conscription will be necessary to carry out this order. ELECTION DAY IS PEACEFUL Expected Disorders in Mexico Fail to Materialize. Washington, Oct. 28.—The admin- istration was all primed for a disas- trous explosion in Mexico on election day, but it got a “flzzer.” There was no serious rioting re- ported south of the Rio Grande. For- eigners were not molested. And, so far as this government is concerned, there was no election. All advices here agree that no can- didate for the Mexican presidency re- ceived a majority of all votes cast. And not even a majority of the reg- istered vaters went to the polls to record their choice. Under the Mexican constitution this means that there was no election for president and vice president. Huerta will be indefinitely dictator. On next Sunday he will have a con- gress that will do his will. That is the one thing that stands out most clearly from the mass of dispatches from the consulates and embassy in Mexico. - There is one .thing that is causing most concern in the situation. Huerta will dictate his policies to a national legislative body that will be most anxious' to please him. Will Increase Army to 150,000. It will increase his army from 80, 000 to 150,000, or as much more as the dictator rzay wish. It will uphold him in every action he may wish to take. And it will, if necessary, op- pose all m-asures_ta¥en by this gov- ernment to restcre peace in Mexico. This government is not expected to accept the resvit of the election. There is to be no recognition of Huer- ta and no attentiou p2id to a minority congress. But whether the presi- dent’s expectcd acilon in issuing his statement regerdins the Monroe doc- trine will malerialize this week will depend upon the diplomatic corps in Mexico City. This diplomatic corps will get to- gether this wzek, It is' expected to suggest a plan for action by the United States in Mexico. If this sug- gestion is along the line of the pres- ent policies the president may decide that there is no necessity for any further dictation from the United States. Celebrate Civil Ceremony.

BODIES OF VICTIMS PROMPTLY BURIED In Very Bad Gondition When Taken From Colllery. Dawson, N. M., Oct. 28.—One hun- dred and thirty-two victims of the Stag Canyon mine No. 2 disaster have been buried. The major portion of the bodies now being recovered are in such condition that they cannot be shipped or laid out in the morgue for public funeral service as was the case with the first two score. Health officers are using vigilance to see that the sanitation of the. town 18 not impaired. Rescue men who bring the bodies from the mine are subject- ed to disinfectants after each trip. Bodles are taken quietly to the ceme- tery directly from the temporary morgue at the mine and if identifica- tion is possible members of the dead miner's families are not permitted to view them. It is expected that all bodies not buried beneath the wreckage will have been hrought to the surface shortly, ag nothing probably will delay the work. Danger from fire passed when alr currents were directed into every room of the workings and-no smolders were discovered. Helmets still must be.used by the advance rescue crews, but only as a matter of extreme pre- caution. Mining work in mine No. 4 has been resumed and it will be a matter of days only until conditions in the min- ing eamp assume a normal aspect. Government mine experts will re- main- in Dawson for two or three weeks in an effort to determine posi- tively the cause and nature of the dis- aster.
