Before the Commissioners.

"On the verge of nervous prostration"

corning the condition OF Warner StutIer.

whose recovery the District Commits

investigation into the charges of official
Northumberland preferred against
Stutler by Royal Robinson.
Ihere Is strong probability today
that the reopening of the hearing on the
case, which has already consumed a
week, will be deferred for many weeks,
as 1t is understood that Suffers physi-
clan and wife are strongly considering
the adylsabilty of removing the patient
to a seaside resort so that he may re-
gain the strength lost by the constant
worry and excitement to which he has
been subjected as a result OF the investi-
CATION into his administration Of the
Street Cleaning Department
His Condition Serious.
Seized with q sudden fainting spell in
his office on Wednesday afternoon, and
described yesterday as being indisposed
slightly, with chance 70 return to his
desk In few days, the announcements
OF the superintendent's serious condi-
eaSii SAAAS A4DAiiiiS came as a surprise 10
the officials at the District Building.
The Commissioners supposed yester-
day the investigation could be held the
latter part Of next week, but IL is not
thought that this can be done, in view
OF the recent developments
Suffers physician said this morning
the superintendent had been a very sick
man, but he thought the patient was
slightly improved today. He had had a
slight fever, but this disappeared today
one OF the causes for the breakdown of
the official is the fact that he was over
come by the heat few days ago, ac-
cording 10 his physician
Strain of Investigation.
The principal cause. however. is adj
mitted 20 be the great strain he has
undergone as result Of the investiga-
ton into his department If he is taken
to the country, or TO the seaside, ii will
probably be several weeks at least be-
fore his return to the city. This will de-
pend entirely on the rate at which he
improves.
So far as could be found out today no
definite arrangements for Suffers re-
lie VIII have 70 remain perfectly quiet
for several days. IL he shows good raj
lying power he will be able to return
within ten days, but this is hardly
hoped for.

Chicago, Jan. SO.-Before the on
slaught of the press and an indignant
public, the antitoxin trust has seem
ingly gone to pieces. The firm OF
Frederick K. Stearn & Co., one of the
trusts biggest shops, has withdrawn
from the combine and has agreed to
sell antitoxin to the city health de-
partment at 81 cents a thousand units.
The offer came in the nature of a
shock to the other two members of
the trust who had boasted Of It's
streigth declaring the combination was
q good business proposition, and that
despite public opinion it would stand
fast.
{! 1t stood twenty days, and the with
drawal of Stearns & Co. will, it is be
lieved, cause the immediate disinte-
grafton Of the combination. A high
authority says:
! "Just wait, the trust is trying to die
easy. and without attracting further
public attention. Stearns & Co.
slipped out first without giving the
other two warning, and that concern
lis trying to make for itself an easy
road by playing the role Of philan-
thropist. Within short time the
three firms will again be rivals, and
the antitoxin will be as cheap as 1t was
