' Miss Brock, who has been holding a position at S. H. Kress & Company s local establishment, has been making her home with her sister, Mrs. A, L. Church. Whether the young lady took the drug with an intent to end her Jife has so far not been learned by the public. A Journal reporter called up the young lady's home last night and after EXPERTS SAY ADMIRAL 1 EATON WAS POISONED Tell Jury One Dose' Was Administered Short Time Be ' fore Death His Wife Is Accused On All Sides Plymouth, Mass., Oct. 21. &ear Ad. miral Joseph G. Eaton died from poi son, at least one dose of which was administered within six or eight hours of his death, during which time, tes timony showed he was unconscious. This, the statement of medical ex perts, was the principal evidence intro duced today by the government in its effort to support the charge that thev admiral came to his death at the hands of bis widow, Mrs. Jennie May Eaton, now on trial for "her life. That Mrs. Eaton had many times said she . wished that her husband was dead, was the statement made on the witness stand by Henry M. Cates of Rockland, who knew the family in 1910. The court house was crowded dur ing the afternoon mostly , by women. Many were turned away. Mrs. Eaton still maintained to a laage extent the j freely and then resorted to drugs to composure which she has manifested I overcome the after effects, so far during the proceedings. Oc- ! Mrs. Anna Driscoll, of Rockland, a casiona'.ly during tle medical testi-j friend of the Eaton's, testified to hav mony she bit her lips and again broke j ing stayed at the Eaton house for three out in laughter during the testimony I months in 1912, at Mrs. Eaton's re- of acquaintances. Testimony as to the, finding of poi son in the admiral's body, and indica tiensT.as to the time and manner of its administration was given by Professor W. F. Whitney and Professor William Balch,' both of the Harvard Medical School.

Alleging that she has been humiliated, insulted and injured by the use pf her, picture in advertising a; certain '.grade of beer and resenting the alleged implication thereby conveyed that she is a woman who drinks beer, Mrs. Bessye Splicker sued the Pabst Brewing Company for $50,000 damages in the City Court yesterday through . John C. Kumpf, attorney. -. ... V ' . , Mrs. ' Splicker's , maiden name was Springer. She was the first wife of Wil liam H.

DR. CARTER AT GOLDS BXRO. lrf .. Goldsboro Oct. 21. Rev. E. T. 'Carter T). D. pastor of the First Bap tist church of New Bern arrived in' the city today where tonight he will begin a-. protracted meeting in the Second Baptjst church . which will run for about ten days. 1 Thtw' public is . invited to hear this gifted 'speaker. . Ait TOM E. WATSOM E Former Presidential Candidate Ac cused Of Sending Ob scene ' Mail. EDITOR OF JEFFERSONIAN Trouble Caused By Alleged Attack On Roman Catholic Church by Defendant Augusta, Ga., Oct. 21. Hearing of the motion of the defense to quash the Federal indictment against Thos. E. Watson, editor, publicist and poli tician charged with sending obscene matter through the mails, today was continued until tomorrow by United States Judge Rufus E. Foster, in or der to give the court opportunity to study the language of the publications alleged to be objectionable. Attorneys for Watson, prior to the opening of court, had predicted that the case never would reach the jury, and had intimated that it might not be tried at all. In this, however, they were mistaken, for less than half an hour aflcr court opened Judge Foster called the case and directed that a jury he drawn. Upon request of S. O. Mcl.endon, of the defense, the drawing of the jury was postponed in order that two mo tions might be presented .to the court. The first of these was that the govern ment be directed to file a bill of par ticulars supplying I lie issues of "Wat son's Magazine " and "The Jcfferson ian " in v.iiich the alleged obscene language appeared. By direction of the court this immediately was com plied with. The second motion of the defense and the one upon which argument still was uncompleted when court ad journedwas that which requested the quashing of the indictment against the Georgia editor upon the ground that Congress has no right to abridge the freedom of the Press. It was admitted by the defense that Watson had written and published certain attacks upon the Roman Cath olic church in which the passages re ferred to in the indictment returned against him November 12th, 1912 ap peared. Two of there passages were in English and one in Latin. Mr. Mc Lendon however argued that the in dictment should be quashed because the alleged unmailable matter was not set out therein nor the names of any persons addressed given because the publication containing the passages is not a book or pamphlet because the language is not obscene within the meaning of the statute because the Supreme Court has no authority to es tablish a standard of obscenity and because the statute itself is indefinite in that it omits the mention of news papers and magazines. The defense argued that the Fed eral statute is void because Congress has not the power to make any act a crime in the which element of unlaw ful intenf is not involved or to abridge the freedom of the Press. Mr. McLendon recites the chronolo gy, of similar cases in the courts of the United tates. He was in the midst of his argument when Judge Foster it upted him by saying that it seemeU useless to further pursue the historical aspects of the matter. The United States Supreme Court has decided " said Judge Foster "that Congress can exclude obscene matter from the mails regardless of whether it appears in newspapers magazines or letters. This would not in my opinion reach upon the free dom of the press and I cannot under syand how any man will be unable to express his ideas without resorting to the use of obscene or filthy language." Saying that the real purpose of the case was to determine- whether the language referred to in the indictment ,is in violation of the law Judge Foster (Continued on page tour ANSWERS GHARG ANOTHER HEALTH EXPERT Dr. R. II. Von Exdorf Will Deliver Lecture At Court House To morrow Night. THE PUBLIC IS INVITED His Object la To Determine How Many Are Infected With Malarial Germs. Dr. H. R. Carter, a government ex pen on malaria visited New Bern a : few weeks ago and while here made an v investigation and found the lair of the malarial bearing mosquito.

The Doctor generally visit, the schools first and offers to examine the blood of any of the school children who desire the examina tion, in tli.it way he gets a large number of specimens during the first day of his visit.

The Dojtor ", will probably reach New Bern Thurs day morning." Realizing the great benefit to be derived from Dr. Vt.n Ezdorf's vi-,it, Dr. Jones at once made p-eparations" fof him to come here and th'-ee are now completed and this noted expert will lecture in the Court House tomorrow night and every citizen of New Bern.' is extended a cordial invitation to come out and hear him.
