HALL is HELD.
Bogus Trolley Accident
Case Heard in the First
Criminal Court
Lawyer Exon
Grated.

The case against Charles Steele Hall
and Edward Britain and others, charged
with conspiring to defraud the Public
Service Corporation by settlement for
damages for bogus accident was up in
the First Criminal Court this morning.
Hall was represented by Counsellor
Warren Dixon. Britain had no counsel.
W. ID. Edwards looked after the inter-
ests of the PubliA Service Corporation.
Hall waived examination and was held
for the Grand Jury in $1,000. Britain
was held for further examination next
Monday.
John p. Feeney, adjuster of the Pub
lie Service Corporation, appeared as com
plainant against the two men.
On January 8, it is charged, that while
Britain and others were attracting the
attention of an Erie street car conduc-
tor in the frnot of the car Hall pretended
to fall from the rear platform and to be
seriously hurt about the shoulders.
Shortly afterward Charles johnson, an
assistant of Adjuster Feeney, got letter
from Counsellor Dwight Paterson, of
New York, informing him that his client,
Steele Hal, was about to sue the Public
Service Corporation for $500 for dam
ages sustained, and asking for a meeting
at the Astor House, New York, to ar
fange for settIHg the matter out of court.
The meeting took place, and $3.50 was
fixed upon as a compromise. Meanwhile
Adjuster Feeney heard of the alleged
consiracy and stopped the payment of the
check. He asked for another conference
at his Office in the Fuller Building in this
city. This took place, and the arrest of
Hall and Britain followed
It is charged that when Hall was ex-
amined an artificial mark was found on
one of his shoulders purporting to have
been the result of the accident
Lawyer Dwight Paterson made salts
factory explanations to the effect that he
knew nothing of conspiracy when his
services were engaged by Hall.
Chief Murphy believes that Britain
has been for years one of the most sue
cessful operators of this class Of swind-
ling in this section of the country.

MAKE PEACE WITH
YOUR STOMACH.
You are Certain to Lose ii You At
tempt the Use of Force and
Violence.


You cannot force your stomach to do
work that it is unable and unwilling to
DO. 1t has been tried time and. time
again with always tie same result The
stomach is a good and faithful servant;
but when pushed beyond the limit it re-
bells. Some stomachs will stand much
more abuse than others, but every stom-
ach has its limit; and when that limit is
reached, it is a very dangerous and un-
wise proceeding to attempt to force it in
to doing further work. The sensible and
reasonable courseis to employ substi-
tute to carry on the work of digestion and
give the stomach an opportunity to re-
cuperate and regtain its lost strength.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
only perfect substitute to take up and
carry on the work of tired, worn-eut
ltomachs. They are natural and easy in
.heir work and cause no disturbance in
he digestive organs. They contain all
# the essential elements that make up
he gastric juice and other digestive
l1ids and will digest any food that a
strong, healthy stomach will, and do it
n the same time and in the same way.
They work independently of surrounding
conditions and the fact that the stomach
is weak or diseased does not influence
them at all in their useful and effective
work. They win digest food just as well
in a glass jar or bottle as they win in a
stomach You can see that for yourself
by putting one of them into jar with
4 square meal and some water to enable
it to work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by thus re-
ieving the stomach of it's work enables
that organ to rest and recuperate and re-
gain its health and strength. The pro-
