The few citizens of East St. Louis who were not kept up all night pro- tecting their homes from fiying em- bers awoke to find on the banks of the Mississippi a burning mound of “food that might have been.” All day tens of thousands specta- tors watched the destruction of 250.- 000 bushels of wheat, 150,000 bushels of oats and 75,000 bushels of barley-— estimated enough to have fed the en- tire population throughout the winter. Officials of the company predicted it would take several weeks for the mass of grain to burn itself out. Meanwhile there is no hope of saving any of it.

ARSENIC FOUND IN EATON’S BODY Witness Says Poison Perme- ated Vital Organs. EXPERT ON THE STAND Professor Whitney of Harvard In- troduces Letter Written in 1909 by Defendant in Murder Trial in Which She Declared Her Husband “Dan- gerously Insane.” Plymouth, Mass., Oct. 21.—rofes- sor William F. Whitney of the Harvard medical school was called to the stand in the trial of Mrs. Jen- nie May Eaton, charged with the murder of her husband, Rear Admir- al Joseph G. Eaton, to recount the result of his analysis of the organs resulting from the body of Admiral Eaton. District Attorney Kartzmann asserted that Professor Whitney found fifteen grains of white arsenic in the admiral’s stomach. Professor Whitney testified that the vital organs of the admiral’s body | were “permeated” with arsenic. He found a total of 166.67 grains of the poison. In the opinion of the witness in- dications were that the sick man had received poison six hours before he died. Professor Whitney said that death was not caused by arsenic in the form to be found in the paris green kept in the Eaton home. On cross-examination Professor Whitney admitted that the presence of a large quantity of arsenic in a person’s stomach led to the presump- tion that it was self-administered, be- cause it was so easily detected. Declared Husband Insane. A letter written by Mrs. Eaton to Professor Whitney in 1909, while the chemist was examining the diges- | tive organs of an adopted child of the | Eatons, who had died suddenly, was introduced. The writer said in part: “Will you kindly inform me how much longer it will be before you can state exactly what my dear little, healthy, strong child died from? I am here alone in this isolated place with my husband, Admiral J. G. Eaton whom I know to be a dangerous, in- sane man. “Now please search for the foreign poisons, as he has talked to me free- ly about foreign poisons and he has all the cleverness of a maniac, and is cunning enough to use one that woul be hard to detect. He has been planning my death all day today, and yet I am powerless, and I trust, on the finding of poison, to have him examine for insanity an taken care of.” ESCAPED LIONS CAUSE PANIC One Enters Leipsig Hotel and Wan- ders About Corridors. Leipsig, Germany, Oct. 21.—Five lions belonging to an American circus obtained their freedom in the streets of Leipsig owing to a collision be- tween a street car and their cage while it was on its way to the rail- road station after a performance.

Duluth, Oct. 21.—A _ northwest storm, which whipped Lake Superior into a rough sea, caught the rudder- less steamer Lackawanna, being tow- edinto the Duluth by the tug Sabin, and fear was expressed here that she may have come to greater grief.

Mexico City, Oct. 21—Friends of both the Huerta and Diaz factions profess to fear disorders when Gen- eral Felix Diaz returns. His actual re- turn to Mexico is a matter of consid- erable surprise. It was thought that Diaz was eliminated from the presi- dential race when General Huerta sent him to Europe after the Japanese’ government refused to receive him in Tokio as a special envoy. The special election is set for Oct. 26 and although there are three can- didates in the field, Huerta, Diaz and Gamboa, the natives seem to be lit- tle interested. Friends of Diaz say he will not be a candidate if Huerta is an active aspirant. Jose Requena, candidate for vice president on the Diaz ticket, is authority for the state- ment. Diaz has said nothing.
