Emmeline Pankhurst in the detention pen at Ellis Island was {informed shortly after noon to-day that the Washington authorities had granted permission to allow her to land in this country. A reporter of The Evening World took the first news of the decision to the fighting Caminetti in Washington. “E never doubted for a minute,” ald Mire. Pankhurst on receipt of the first news, “that the American people would Gecognize the righteousness of my caus ee of any fight for liberty whether or met they believed in the means em- Dloyed in making that fight.” Mrs. packed her bag and waited for the official aonfirmation of the order for ber release. Commissioner Ubi told her she had Sum five minutes to catch the 12.0 @renefer boat ¢o Manhattan, She @napped the bag shut and hurried to the tending. Inspectors, matrons and other less fortunate smmigrants cheered her on her way, “Let me pay my respects to the ma- trons and oficiels of that inetitution,” eaid Mre, Pankhurst, pointing to the immigration building after the boat had tated. ‘They are delightful people— tateligent, sympathetic and kind.

Pankhurst is, but you never heard of MeKenns. Now perhaps you can sec why We have adopted militant measures. ‘We have made ourselves felt and have forced thought and action for our cause. “MeKenna, my young ¢riend, is the wuffragette. She heard the tidings calmly. The official news reached her half an hour later and was taken by Acting Commissioner Uhl to the /and attractive wife of a diamond peisoner immediately after he had learned by telephone from Commissione! POISON PERMEATED BODY OF EATONS EXPERT TESTINONY Prof. Whitney Says Admiral’s Death Was Caused by Fre- quent Doses of Arsenic. PLYMOUTH, Maas., Oct.20.—An at- tempt to determine whether the poison which Killed Rear Admiral Joseph Q. Eaton was taken with euicidal intent or administered in his food by his wife, Mrs. Jennie May Baton, was made at the trial of the widow for murder to- day. Prof. William F. Whitney of the Har- vard Medical School, who examined tho vital organs of the Admiral's body, sald that he found a little over sixteen grains of white arsenic in powdered form, The conditions suggested that it nad been received in several doses, the latter Probably administered a few hours be- fore death, Cross-examined by the de- fense, he sald that the condition of the organs was not, however, inconsistent with the theory that the poison had been taken in a large done. Prof, Whitney teatified that the vital | merchant, Mrs. George A. Oppenheimer, young member of the firm of Oppenheimer Brothers & Veith, No. 65 Nassau street, shot and killed herself this morning in Dr. A. R. Stern‘e pri- vate hospital at No, 365 West End avenue. Mrs, Oppenheimer had suf- fered for @ year with @ nervous break- down. According to Arthur Oppen- helmer, a cousin of her husband, she had been despondent recently because of her inability to throw off the illness, The young woman killed herself with a bullet from an old-fashioned Derringer Pistol of heavy calibre, which had been 4 sort of curio in the beautiful home of the young couple at No, 78 Circuit road, ‘New Rochelle. Mrs, Oppenhetmer had been in the hospital since Sept. 7, and yesterday afternoon Mr. Oppenhelmer brought their two children—a little girl of six years and a boy of four—to the hospital in his automobile, Mra, Oppen- heimer seemed in good spirits and health, and as she wanted some things from her home she was permitted to accompany her husband and childreq| on @ drive to New Rochelle an1 back. APPARENTLY HAD PLANNED SUICIDE YESTERDAY. At the house she packed a amall black handbag and apparently put in the re- volver, though even at a time when he seemed happy and gay she was planning her own death, After her entrance into the hospital Mra. Oppenheimer had the constant #er- vices as nurse of Miss Lillian Scrym- eer, This morning Mrs. Oppenheimer, following her outing of yesterday, g@eomed so cheerful that Miss Scrymser left her at 6.55 o'clock to go down- Gtairs for breakfast. She returned at ire. Oppenheimer was not in her bed. On the floor of a clothes clos the body of the young woman, and was found in the folds of her nightgown. There was an empty shell in the second barrel of fhe pistol, but M’CALL AS THE GO-BETWEEN IN REACHING THE “CHIEF.” Amazing Details of the Evolution of a “Boss's” Plot to Wreck a Rebellious Executive. The New York ‘Evening Mail publishes to-day a copyrighted exclu- sive interview by James Creelman with William Sulzer making sensa- tional charges against Charles F. Murphy. Mr. Sulzer says among other things: “Just prior to taking office as Governor—either just before Christmas or between Christmas and New Year’s—I spent an afternoon with Mr. Murpby at his request at bis private room at Delmonico’s. His attitede was very friendly and contidential, He sald he was my friend; that he knew of my financial condition and wished to help me out. As he went on 1 was amazod at his knowledge of my intimate personal affairs, “To my astonishment he informed me that be knew that I was heavily in debt. Then he offered me money to pay my debte and have enough left to take things easy while Governor.” ‘Did he tell you where this money was to come from, Governor?” “Ho said that this was roally a party matter and that the money he would give me was party money; that I had been a popular candidate easily elected and for less money than any other candidate in his recol- lection. “He sald that nobody would know anything about It; that I could pay what I owed and go to Albany feeling casy financially. He then asked me how much I needed, to whom I owed it, and other personal questions, SULZER REFUSES THE OFFER OF MONEY. “As 1 Aid not want to be tied hard and fast as Governor in advance, I declined Mr. Murphy's offen “He repeated his offer of money, saying that it was for the good of the party; that the ‘organization’ did not want me to be hampered finanolally, and he (Murphy) would allow me whatever I needed above my salary for my living expenses while I was at the executive mansion. “But again I refused and then he said: ‘If you need money at any time fet me know and you can have what you want.

He found a total of 16.67 grains of thé poison, Replying to @ bypothetical question asked by District-Attorney Barker at the suggestion ot Judge Aiken, the wit- ness eaid that his discoveries would in- dicate that the poison had been taken in more than one dose, The frat dose was probably taken within a few ho! of the time that euffering began. THE POISON MUST HAVE BEEN TAKEN THROUGH MOUTH. The hypothetical question supposed that the patient became ill on Thursday and died Gaturday, In the opinion of the witness indications were that the sick man had received poison stx hours before he died. The Admiral died at 6 A. M. on March 8, ‘The witness said that a large amount of the poleon received by the Admiral had been thrown off. The body prob- ably had rid iteelf of several times the amount that had been retained. The poluon must have been taken through the mouth, either pure or in some fluid in order to have reached the stomach in the powdered form found, “I {ound the stomach to contain 11,2 grains of arsenic, brain .028, liver oss. The lungs contained no arsenic,” sald the expert. Prof, Whitney sald that_death was not caused by arsenic inthe form to he found in the paris green kept in the Eaton home. He found no trace of fatty degeneration in the organs ex- amined, which would indicate that poison was not administered until a xhort time before death, been fn office, all pleas for mercy or wasyenston of the death penalty.” Mrs Pankhurst’s relesee came with unexpected swiftness that Mrs. O. given & the rooms of the Aldine Club in Avermme Bulding and will ff & speech.
