sensational Turn in Investigation of
Affairs of Washington Bene-
fetal Association.

The alleged embezzlement by Thomas M.
fields OF the local bar of about $4,000 OF
sunds in the keeping of himself and Mr.
andrew A. Lipscomb, receivers of the
Washington Beneficial Endowment Associa-
ion. took a sensational turn this after
loon when it developed that certain papers
-egarded as very important to the case.
iad mysteriously disappeared.
EVERYBODY directly connected with the
case declined to discuss the matter, but it
vas var.f clearly ii1timated in one quarter
hat the papers in question had been stolen
from the files of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia. On the other hand. 1t
. declared that all the circumstances indi-
cate that the missing documents never were
placed in the court files
The records and the file rooms at the city
hall have been thoroughly searched, but
without success.
The much wanted papers, which appear
0 be as far out OF reach as is Mr..
Fields. are, it is said. certificates OF de-
Dosit relating TO the original account of
Messrs. Fields & Iipscomb as receivers,
with the Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany.
Later the original account was changed
o one that was subject to check. 1t was
stated several days ago that the Washing
ION Loan and Trust Company was unable
20 loca tie the certificates of deposit. which,
Of course were surrendered to that institu-
ton when the funds were transferred to an
account that was subject to check
Mr.. Morgan H. Beach. United States at
torney for the District of Columbia, has
called for all the papers in the Washing
ton Beneficial Endowment Association case
N connection with which Messrs. Fields &
Lipscomb were appointed receivers. The
papers. which almost fill large wooden
box. are now at the side of Mr.. Beachs
desk in his office i'll the city hall. The
certificates of deposit, however, are not
among them.
From what can be learned, in the face OF
the refusal of all who are in position to
know the facts to d scuss the situation, 1t
appears that the Washington Loan and
Trust Company claims that 1t surrendered
the certificates of deposit to the auditor of
the Supreme Court of the District of Co
,umbia about tours years ago.
IF the certificates were placed with the
other papers in the case they naturally
nave found their way to the files of the Su-
Dreme Court of the District of Columbia.
II is stated that the Washington Loan and
Trust Company was summoned to testify
Turing hearing before the auditor of the
court and responded through its treasurer"
The latter, II is explained. took with him
to the city hall the certificates of deposit,
md testified regarding them to show that
the receivers had deposited the funds of
the Washington Beneficial Endowment
Association in bank.
Auditor Does Not Remember.
The auditor has no recollection of retain
ing the certificates and. it is said. it is not
his custom to take such action in any case

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh OF the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
OF Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat OF the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

Tx. q. S. Senator M. c. Butler from
South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms. In a.
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, d. c., saws:
81 can recommend Peruns for dys.
pepsia and stomach trouble. I have
been using your medicine for a short
period and ] feel very much relieved.
II is Indeed a wonderful medicine be.
sides q good tonic. IN. G.. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dvs-
pepSia is to remove the catarrh, Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in a natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more eases of dvs-
pepsia than all other remedies com
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat O,
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. Wher
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy fol
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it il
generally dependent upon catarrh.
