ON ROADS TO MARYLAND

for Benefit of Officers CT
the Law.
ON ROADS TO MARYLAND

The District Commissioners today sent
a letter to Governor Warfield OF Mary
lande apprising him Of the intention OF
the Commissioners to have the District
line on the Maryland side surveyed
this spring. and asking him II he wished
TO have an official OF the Maryland gov
ernment accompany the District sur
veyer IN the work.
The letter points out that II is not the
intention OF the Commissioners to
change the boundary lines. but TO have
them surveyed a second Sine so as 80 be
able to erect monuments and guide
post showing exactly the limits OF the
District territory. This Is thought TO be
necessary on the different roads leading
out of the District into Maryland.
The question has often come up In the
past as to where crime was commit
ted and where the jurisdiction OF the
District authorities ceased In prosecu-
tions. The intention now is to put UP on
all such roads monuments showing just
how far a policeman OF the District can
pursue a criminal. Signs for the same
purpose will also be put up In all the
conspicuous places and on the high
points o. land.

PRESIDENT GREETED
JOSEPH OF MEZ PERCES

President Roosevelt paid a high
tribute to the military abilities Of Chief
Joseph, of the Nez Perces, when that
dignitary. accompanied by two members
of his tribe. was presented to him this
morning by Representative Curtis OF
Kansas.
The President greeted the chief cor
daily, said he had read of Chief Jo-
seph's campaigns. and knew he was a
great soldier. and that he would do
what he could for him.
The chief went away much pleased.
On his way out, he stopped to gaze in
awe at Policeman Camp, the tall and
stalwart 25O-pound officer who guards
the front door at the White House Of
fees. He admired the policeman's UNI
form, and evidently envied his size and
strength Finally he reached out his
hand and shook that of the policeman
warmly, and then left the offices.

speech for the prosecution at $3.50
o'clock. Justice Pritchard said that in
view of the lateness Of the hour he
would not charge the jury until this
morning.
The feature OF the proceedings yes
terday was that Mr.. Conrad, on his own
responsibility. and without seeking the
advice of hts colleagues. requested the
Jury to acquit Samuel A. Croft. That

THEY ACTUALLY
Do THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Digest
ed-Some Stomachs Must Have Help.

Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Digest
ed-Some Stomachs Must Have Help.
Food taken into the stomach which
from the nature of the food or the con-
ditlon OF the stomach. is not digesteS. is
worse than no food at all. This is a
true statement as far as II goes. and a
great many dyspeptics go only this far
with their reasoning. They argue with
themselves that because their stornachs
DO not do the work given them, they
must be given less work; in other words
they must be starved. 1t would be Just
as sensible for a business man who IS
unable 10 do all his own work to cut
down his business to his own capacity
as 1t Is for man to starve himself to
relieve his stomach. The sensible bust
ness man employs help and goes for
ward with his business. Likewise the
sensible dyspeptic will employ help for
his stomach and give his body proper
nCuTishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do
the work assigned to them. They re-
lieve weak and overburdened stomachs
of a great portion Of digestive action.
Their component parts are identical
with those of the digestive fluids aud
.secretions Of the stomach, and they sim
ply take up the grind and carry on the
work just the same as a good, strong
healthy stomach would do il.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance in
the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tained in what Is eaten and carry 0St
Natures plans for the Sustenance and
maintenance OF the body.
How much more sensible is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs- BY this
means the body and brain get all the
good nutritious food they need, and the
man is properly nouriShed and equipped
to carry on his work and perform his
duties. He could not possibly be In
proper working condition by starving
himself or employing some new fam
gled insufficient food that does not con-
tain enough nutTiment for a year old
baby. A strong man doing strong work
must be properly fed and this applies to
the brain as well as the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by reliev-
! ing the stomach Of its work. enable 1t
TO recuperate and regain its normal
| health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues just as she
| limb. which is OF course not used dur
ing the process of repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
! sale by all druggists at 90 cents box
and they are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell something
Their unqualified merit and success and
the universal demand for them has
placed them within the reach of every
one.

then only for the purpose Of connecting

they should find that conspiracy had
been entered into, as charged in the in
dictment. This evidence is not to be
considered by the jury in determining

the relation which the parties making

acy that may have existed prior TO that

Defendants Testimony.
THE defendants have gone on the
witness stand and testified in their own
behalf 1t. therefore. becomes my duty
to say to you that you ought TO scruti-
niZe their testimony. in view Of the fact
that they are interested in the outcome
Of this trial. But in doing so, 1 do not
wish TO be understood as saying that
you should not believe the testimony of
the defendants because of the fact that
they are interested, and II. after con-
sidering their testimony and the cir
cumstances under which Il was given,
you are Of the opinion that they have

Commissioner Says the Probing Was
Necessary, and 1t Will Be
Thoroughly Done.

District Commissioner Macfarland this
morning directly contradicted the asser-
tion made in some of the local news
papers that the Board of Charities would
probably fail to investigate the charges
made by DR.. w. II. Hawkes. against the
conduct and administration of the
Emergency Hospital
THE Commissioners" said Mr.. Mac
farland. have ordered this investiga-
tion after an unusually careful consid-
GRAFTON of the statements of Dr. Hawkes.
and Mr.. BCardman. the president OF the
board of directors of the hospital. The
BSard Of Charities has. under the law,
no recourse but to make the investiga-
ton and report the result 20 the Com
missioners.
Investigation Necessary.
''If we had thought there was nc call
for the investigation. we would most
certainly never have ordered IL. Of
course, If the members Of the investigut-
ing committee or the Board of Charities
have discovered new and unexpected
facts that would make the investigation
unnecessary, they might communicate
with us on the subject

Counts Of Indictment.

You may find the defendants guilty
as to each count charged in the indict-
ment, or you may acquit them as to
some counts and find them guilty as 10
others. as the case may be; and II,
after carefully considering the evidence,
you are satisfied that one or more Of
these defendants are not guilty. you may
return verdict Of not guilty as to such
defendants. But. under a charge OF
conspiracy, before you can return a YER
dict of guilty. you must find that at
least two of the defendants are guilty
OF the conspiracy as charged In the in
dictment: that is 10 say, you cannot
find one defendant guilty and return
a verdict Of not guilty as to all the
others.
In considering this case. I am sure
that you will not be influenced by preju-
dice on the one hand. or moved by sym
pathy on the other You should givE
these defendants a fair and impartial
trial according to the evidence as tes-
titled by the witnesses. and the law as
given TO you by the court.

On Its Merits.

This case should be tried solely upon
its merits. and without regard to what
effect your verdict may have upon the
public mind. As I have already stated.
you are the sole judges as TO the facts
that have been presented to you for your
consideration, and upon you alone rests
the responsibility of the outcome Of this
trial.
1T is proper that the Government
should prosecute all parties charged
with crime. and the fact that the Gov
ernment may have employed special
counsel In this case should not influence
your minds one way or the other; and
II is equally essential 10 the proper adj
ministration Of the law that the defend>
ants should be represented by counsel
In the conduct of this trial as il is
that the Government, through it's coun.
sci. should be permitted 10 present its
contentious as TO the issues that are
raised by the allegations contained in
the indictment.
II am sure, therefore, when you come
to decide this matter. you will consider
solely the question as to whether or not
the defendants are guilty as charged In
the indictment"
