MAY HAVE VIOLATED NO LAW
Doubt If Case Can He Made Out
Against Hoffman.

1t has become a question whether a case
can be made out against Carl H. Hoff-
man, the former stenographer to the
Isthmian Canal Commission, who will be
brought here from New York today to
answer 10 the charge of having violated
section 54OS of the Revised Statutes of
the United States. Hoffman claims to
have had legal advice on the subject to
the effect that he did moi fraudulently
withdraw, destroy, or otherwise misuse
the records of the Commission, and that
what he did was no violation Of the law.
1t is possible that a newspaper man,
who is said to have visited tho French
Embassy with Hoffman, at the time the
report of the Commission was offered for
sale to VI. Jules Cambon, the French AM
bassadcr, may be drawn into the case
Ii has been stated tnat unless re volun-
tarily comes forward and explains his
conduct that his arrest may follow.
Despite the recent loss Of his position
and his failure to settle for certain jew
elry which he had been purchasing on
the instalment plan, Hoffman was living
in an elegantly furnished apartment in
New York, with his wife. and is said to
have recently purchased an interest in a
well-paying saloon in that city.
He was well known in this city, where
he had large circle of acquaintances.
While here he resided at 1713 G Street

il will cure every disease under the sun.
And they never think OF leaving out dys-
pepsia and stomach troubles. They are
sure to claim that their nostrum is alb
solutely certain to cure every dyspeptic
and he need look no further.
In the face OF these absurd claims it is
refreshing TO note that the proprietors
OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have caro-
fully refrained from making undue claims
or false representations regarding the
merits of this most excellent remedy for
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They
make but one claim for il, and that is,
that for Indigestion and various stomach
troubles Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is
radical cure. They go no further than
this, and any man or woman suffering
from Indigestion, chronic or nervous dys-
pepsia. who will give the remedy a trial
viii find that nothing is claimed for it
that the facts will not fully sustain.
1t is a modern discovery, composed of
harmless vegetable ingredients accep
table to the weakest or most delicate
stomach. Its great success in curing
stomach troubles is due to the fact that
the medical properties are such that it
/ will digest whatever wholesome food is
taken into the stomach, no matter
whether the stomach is in good working
order or not. 1t rests the oyerworked
organ and replenishes the body. the blood
the nerves, creating "a healthy appetite
gives refreshing sleep and the blessings
which always accompany a good diges-
tion and proper assimilation of food.
In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets no
dieting is required. Simply eat plenty of
wholesome food and take these Tablets at
each meal. thus assisting and resting the
stomach which rapidly regains its proper
digestive power. when the Tablets will be
no longer required.
Nervous dyspepsia is simply condition
in which some portion or portions of the
nervous system are not properly uour-
ished Good digestion invigorates the
| body.

THE MoNoToNY UNMARRIED.
No Thanksgiving Day Break in the
Duties of FIremen and Police

The monotony Of the lives of the police
and fire ladies was varied but little yes
terday as holidays mean but little to
them. Whatever the occasion may be it
is always necessary for them to be ready
to respond when wanted. and it is not
possible to grant them any material ex-
ira time.
C.,ef Dutton, OF the Fire Department,
however, dire,,vu ,n.-t is men be allowed
additional time at their meals to permit
them to more satisfactorily assist in dis
posing of the Thanksgiving turkey. In
some Of the engine aOuses the men were
also remembered by the neighbOrs. who
sent ice cream and other delicacies to
the men who were unable to have more
than an hour at their homes
With the police there was practically
no charge In their usual routine. The
hours of service for the men have been
so carefully studied out and the scheG-
ule so complicated that it is practically
impossible to vary it in any detail
Major Sylvester was not more fortunate
than his men, however, and remained at
his desk throughout the entire day, al
though some OF the headquarters clerks
we're excused.
