ADMIRAL AND MRS. J. G. EATON. (National -News Association) BOSTON, March 15. With the report of Prof. W. P. WHiitney of the Harvard medical school that Rear Admiral Joseph G. Eaton, U. S. N., retired, had come to his death through chloral poisoning, the Eaton home was under surveillance of the police today. Officers of Plymouth county kept guard to see who left or entered the house. Prof. Whitney's report of the poisoning has been sent to District Attorney Albert F. Barker, of Plymouth county, who is in charge of the investigation of the Admiral's death. QUIET FOLLOWS A NIGHT OF RIOTING Disorders At Salem, 111., Were Caused By Assault Made Upon a Girl. (Xational News Association) SALEM, 111., March 15. Writh state troops, commanded by Adjut.-General Dickinson, who arrived at 2 o'clock this morning, patroling the streets here, quiet today followed last night's rioting. Every precaution has been taken by the civil and military authorities to prevent fresh outbreaks. A heavy guard has been thrown around the jail where Thomas Sullens, accused of attacking the daughter of former Judge C. N. Holt, and Ernest Harrison, said to have incited the attack, are incarcerated. In the tenderloin district of the city where rioters last night raided "blind pigs," burned property belonging to Harrison and emptying whiskey and beer into the gutter a special guard has been established. A number of persons who took part in the raids are nursing injuries today. At one time set on fire by the rioters a barrel of whiskey exploded and a number of those in the crowd were burned. A man's arm was broken by a flying hoop. Although the crowds have not gathered on the streets this morning, there is an undercurrent of excitement here that has given the authorities cause for worry. , Feeling against Harrison and Sullens has been intensified and it is feared that even in spite of the presence of state troops an attempt may be made to rush the jail and lynch the two men. The cause of the outbreak was indignant at the act of Sullens who admitted attacking Dorothy Holt, 15 years old. The girl told her father of the affair. She said she was seized by Sullens as she started home from a moving picture show, dragged her nearly two miles to the slaughter house and then attacked her. The next morning she escaped and made her way home. Sullens asserted that he had been urged to the deed by Harrison who promised him $5 and a bottle of booze. Sullens also asserted that Harrison told him of a plan to kidnap Holt's young son. When the news of the attack became known a mob started to the jail and demanded that the sheriff surrender the prisoners. A request for troops was at once sent out and they were rushed to the scene. During the evening men from nearby towns arrived i to help the lynchers. Rev; C. L. Peterj son, pastor of the Salem Methodist church, led the mob toward the resort : district and aided in the raids ou 'blind tigers." I Harrison was angry at Holt, who is ! prosecuting attorney, for his efforts to ; unravel the mystery of the murder of (Robert Miller. The investigation is ; said to have implicated Harrison. ! Holt was ill In bed when told of the attack. His daughter is in a serious condition. The rioters finally were dispersed by the troops.

Asserts School Board Would Commit Llnpardonable Act If They Rejected Teachers' Retirement Plan.

ANSWER IS GIVEN BY THE PROFESSOR No Local Instructor Would Take Advantage of Retirement Provisions in the Law, He Declares. That the members of the Richmond school board would be committing an unpardonable sin if they rejected the teachers pension law as applied to the Richmond public schools is the opinion of Prof. D. D. Ramsey of the Whitewater school. Whether the law will apply to the Richmond schools has not been determined, as yet, as attorneys are now working on the proposition of finding out with whom it is optional whether it is accepted here, or not. The subject will be broached to the teachers of the schools at their meeting to be held next Saturday. The meeting will probably be held in the high school building. Not To Take Advantage. Prof. Ramsey does not believe the teachers will take advantage of the fact that according to the law, a person who teaches in the local schools for twenty years can retire from the service of the local schools, receive a pension, and move to another county and be employed in the service of another county as a teacher. The teachers who are employed here are residents of the city who will always make Richmond their Jiome, according to Prof. Ramsey. According -to the Indianapolis pension law the teachers are compelled to retire after they have taught a certain number of years. The teachers of Richmond can teach for life unless retired by the school board, according to the act which affects this city. The bill is far from satisf tory to the members of the local t 'ird and one member believeslt will tend" to rid Richmond of some of its most useful teachers. The teachers would be foolish to teach in this city, the member believes when they can retire on a pension of $400, their salary being $600. Citizens Object. Some citizens have remonstrated to the members of the board against the tax which will be imposed for the maintenance of the retirement teachers fund. Though no united action has been taken by any tax payers of the city, individuals have objected very seriously to the law. The law imposes a tax of two and one-half cents per $100 which will provide approximately $3,250 annually to be paid by the tax payers for the fund. The teachers will pay approximately $1,500 each year toward the fund. The Indianapolis law provides that the teachers pay two-thirds of the fund while the law as provided for the cities of the size of Richmond the tax payers pay three-fourths of the fund. Prof. Ramsey explained why the Indianapolis law was not amended to include cities the size of Richmond. The Terre Haute bill which was passed was thoroughly understood by the legislators while it would have been necessary to explain all the provisions of the Indianapolis law to them he said. They decided to pass the Terre Haute bill believing that it would remedy the situation in smaller cities. The bill passed is inferior in every respect to the Indianapolis law members of the local school board believe. ARREST WOMAN ON CHARGES OF THIEF (Xational Xews Association) CHICAGO, March 15. Mrs. Kate Pope, of Detroit, was arrested in her home, according to information received by the Chicago police today, in the nation-wide dragnet for the mysterious "Mrs. Pope," named by Owen D. Conn, gentleman burglar, as bis accomplice and sharer in $100,000 gifts. Msr. Kate Pope denied indignantly that she knew the "raffles." Her brother is an automobile manufacturer and the familj prominent. Her arrest caused a sensation here. Mrs. Pope was the second woman .arrested upon the confession of Conn, who is near death in San Francisco, wounded by a police bullet. Mrs. Mabel Clarkson, wife of a South Side mission worker, was arrested in Milwaukee. No formal charge has been placed against either woman. Mrs. Pope was' released on her personal bond.

NO SMOKING ORDER MADE MORGAN SORE Ailing Money King in Rome Is Being Ruled Sternly By His Physicians. (National News Association) ROME, March 15. The autocratic doctors who are attending J. Plerpont Morgan, the ailing money king of America, have ordered him to give up smoking, his favorite pleasure and Mr. Morgan is very sad. For years his chief luxury has been long, black cigars, especially made for him at a cost of $1 a piece. They are even better than the King of England or the Czar of Russia smokes. Each cigar is made of tobacco especially grown, cured and rolled into cigars by the most expert workmen. These cigars are carefully aged, and when mellow, they find their way into the Morgan humidors. They are the most famous cigars in the world. Mr. Morgan grumbled and protested when told he must cuit smoking, but the doctors were obdurate. They told him his nerves demanded a respite from the effects of tobacco smoke, but in his throaty, rumbling voice, the famous fnancier declared that his nerves had stood the strain many years and should be used to it by this time. The upshot of the whole matter, however, was that Mr. Morgan today went without his cigars and he seemed at a loss to fill in the gap. Mr. Morgan was againg taken for a motor trip today in the warm, beautiful sunshine for his physicians have prescribed that he get a certain amount of fresh air each day. "Prof. Bastianelli, the Italian specialist, who has charge of the distinguished patient said that Mr. Morgan would probably go to Florence after a three weeks stay here. In the meantime the financier must not lo any work. $8,000 FOR INJURY Ed. Bunger Awarded Damages At Eaton. (Palladium Special) EATON. O, March 15.

The statement of Mayor Zimmerman that sanitary drinking fountains are not sanitary is contrary to the opinion of Charles Johannins. , , Mr. Johanning stated that if the price of water were not so high it would be a feasible pla nto place more sanitary drinking fountains in this city for the beneSt of the public and especially for the school children. Mr. Johanning has made a thorough study of the fountain plan and says he can cite many of the best authorities in the country to prove that the statements of the mayor are incorrect. "The horses and dogs are treated better in this city along that line than Johanning. "Running water is furnished for the horses though it does not seem probable that more fountains will be established for the benefit of the school children."'
