WOULD SHOW
POSSIBILITY
OF SUICIDE.
Attempt to Establish
This Theory Causes
Jar at Inruest,
BY Associated Press.

HONOLULU, March 7.-Attorney
General Andrews and Deputy Sheriff
Rawins clashed at the inquest on the
death of Mrs. Stanford yesterday,
when the former tried to bring out
evidence showing the possibility that
the aged woman committed suicide
Did Mrs. Stanford complain of
bitter taste such as would be noticed
by persons taking strychnine2 2" asked
the Attorney General of Miss Berner.
Rawlins shut off the answer and tried
to prevent. further questioning on this
line, but Andrews persisted. ~
Was there an examination of the
tongue and throat for. indications of
strychnine demanded the Attorney
General
1t was then brought out that such
an investigation had not been made
The Attorney General continued on
this line of questioning with the idea
of establishing or eliminating the sui
eide theory. He tried to draw from
Miss Berner evidence that the wealthy
San Francisco woman had ended her
life, a victim of peculiar mania.
1t was Andrews persistence in this
form of inquiry that caused the clash
with Deputy Sheriff Rawlins, who has
charge of the inquest. Rawlins seemed
in hurry to have the work finished
and resented such questioning as un-
necessarily delaying the case.
Though the chemists have found
strychnine in Mrs. Stanford's stomach
and in the bicarbonate proving be-
yond doubt that she was poisoned, High
Sheriff Henry is disappointed that the
results do not furnish evidence in
stronger form. The poison could only
be traced by the color test
Evidently High Sheriff Henry is
pleased with the work of the San Fran
crisco police, as he commented upon it
to-day. II appreciate what they have
done in the case very much" he said.
I'VE have been working in perfect har-
mony."
Attorney General Andrews questions
intended to develop a suicide theory
have reused much comment here. The
Attorney General did not appear at the
inquest to-day.

REPORT OF ANALYSIS
GIVEN AT INQUEST
By TWO CHEMISTS
Doctors Shorey and Duncan Testify
That Strychnine Was Found in
Mrs StaufOrd'S Stomach.


HONOLULU, March 7.-When the
inquest into the death of Mrs. Jane L..
Stanford was resumed this afternoon
the first witness called to the stand
was r. A. Duncan, Food Commissioner
and Chemical Analyst, to the Board of
Health He testified that three analy
ses of the bottle of bicarbonate of soda
found in Mrs. Stanford's room had
been made. He said: Il made the
first analysis alone, and in ten grams
of the bicarbonate of soda 1 obtained
seven hundredths of a grain of strych-
MIA The second analysis | made in
conjunction with DR.. Edmund Shorey,
chemist of the United States Agrfcul-
tural Station. In ten grams of the BIZ
carbonate of soda we obtained thir-
teen hundredths of a grain of strych-
ria In the third analysis of the same
amount of the bicarbonate of soda We
secured fourteen hundredths of grain
of strychnia.
by calculation we estimated that in
the bottle were forty-three grams Of
bicarbonate of soda and that the bot
tie contained half a grain of strychnia
The methods OF analysis used in the
last two experiments were the most re-
liable.
I'VE examined a portion of the con-
tents of the stomach with negative
result for strychnia. We further exam
ined one kidney and some of the con-
tents Of the intestines but were un-
able to separate any poison from the
substance, yet we obtained the color
reaction characteristic of strychnine.
I'VE then combined all the remain
ing organs, including the liver, and
found that a test of an extraction gave
the same results as the intestines
namely, the color reaction Indicative of
strychnine.
.'The test we used is known as the
fading purple test, and, SO far as l
know, it is the most reliable test. The
color reaction we obtained is not pro-
duced except by strychniA We were
not able to isolate any strychnia''
Continuing, DR.. Duncan said that he
had consulted the standard authorities
while working. The reason the strych-
MIA was inseparable, he explained, was
that the amount was too small and
was distributed in body of matter.
POISON In CAPSULES.
DR.. Duncan also testified that they
anaIyzed the cascara capsules, one of
which Mrs. Stanford took before retir-
ing. They were found to contain nux
yornica The average weight of each
capsule was three and sixteen hun
dredths grains.
The total alkaloids in each CAPSULE
was one-fifteenth of grain of brucine
and strychnine in equal parts.
Brucine is an alkaloid poison. but

which has been in progress for ten
days. began al dawn to-day and has
continued uninterruptedly up to the
present time on a front fourteen miles
long, west of the railroad and on line
with the Shakhe River. The japanese
also have made desperate attack on
Bentsiaputze. and reports are arriv-
iug here that fighting was renewed this
morning on the extreme left of the
Russian army. Both sides are fight
ing with desperation to the westward
though the troops are well nigh ex-
hausted. The issue of the battle may
depend largely on the relative physical
condition of the rank and file. In its
main features the combat is very
much like that at Liaoyang, and if the
Russians should be able to crush the
Ranking force victory may be regarded
as won. The losses in the ten days of
battle on both sides are already far
greater than were the casualties in the
battle Of Liaoyang and are likely to
increase as the days pass before the
issue is fully decided.

ate attacks on General Tserpitsky's

Over American Acquisi-

Claims Jurisdiction Over Dis
eoveries Made by Peary.


Halifax, N. s., May 1.-THE opera
tiOns Of American citizens in the Far
North are again occupying the atten-
ton OF the Canadian government ac-
cording to Ottawa dispatches. In one
case w. F. Mclean Of Toronto. brought
the subject to the attention of Sir VIM.
I.aurier. the premier. Mclean declared
that a new territory should be FORMED
out Of the north country. He said that
Lieut.. Robt. E. Peary. U. s. N. mad
gone into the northern waters, giving
American names to the lands he had
touched on some of them and Canadian
Jurisdiction, Mclean though. was IN
danger. A strong territorial govern
mant he suggested would overcome the
difficulty. The march of science and
discovery of mineral wealth might
make the territories of the North
more valuable than those of the South.
Sir Wilfred Laurier replied that Mr..
McI.ean'se arguments were all right,
but his conclusions were all wrong.
Tvs are aware" he said. "that the
Americans have been patrolling north
srn waters and that they have taken
land and given American names to
some of the territories there which
think are under our jurisdiction. we
ought to provide against that"
Sir Wilfred believes the way to pro-
vide against it was by way Of the east
and not from a strong territorial gov
eminent by the long route of the Mac
kcnzie river. The government had al
ready provided against it by sending
an expedition under Mr.. Lowe. who
had lust returned after planting the
British flag on many parts of these
northern territories.
1--WE cannot allow Americans to take
possession of land that is British ter
ritory," said the premier, land we In
tend to assert our jurisdiction over it.

COMMERCIAL PORTS DEFENCE
Statement by Premier Balfour on Re-
verse of Old Policy.

London, May lin the House OF
Commons, today. Premier Balfour re
plying to question said the accepted
policy in regard to the defence of com
mercial ports had been reversed. The
admiralty on the advice of the commit
tee of defence had concluded that sub
marine mines constituted an inexpe1i
ent methods of defending such ports.
They We're more likely to injure the de-
tenders than damage the enemy. Mr..
Balfour said ne was not abiding to
blockade mines which had played such
an important part in the Far Eastern
war. He believed civilized countries
wculd check the sowing of mines in the
waters of the world and he thought the
matter should be brought before an in
ternariOnal tribunal.
The premier thought submarine boats
would be of great importance as a unit
in naval warfare generally and at least
in attempts to land soldiers on a hos
tile coast. Field Marshal Lord Roberts
thought it was useless 10 attempt an in
vas1ion Of Great Britain with less than
10000 men and even if they landed il
was but fOrlorn hope that they would
reach London. The premier believed it
was impossible tc land foreign troops
in Great Britain and therefore n serious
invasion need not be contemplated. He
thought that an invasion from France
was the last thing in the world to be
regarded as possible.
Mr.. BalfOur said a invasion of India
had been the dream Of many military
leaders. The progress If Russia towards
hp AFGHAN frnntiar and tho
ton of strategic railroads compelled the
government to consider seriously what
its great military neighbors could do.
No surprise was possible in an inva-
sion of India. Any collision of magni-
tude between two powers must depend
upon the railroad construction. IF Great
Britain permits the slow absorption OF
Afhganistan &C the central Asian states
had been absorbed ard if Russia s
strategic railroads wera allowed to
creep closer and closer to the frontier,
Great Britain would ultimately pay for
hers Supineness by having to keep on
foot a very large army and she would
be faced with the greatest military
problems which had ever confronted
the British government.
Mr. BalfOur remarked that the de-
velopment of Russia towards India had
from time to time caused great alarm
Great Britain had in vain by diplomatic
means endeavOred to prevent Russia S
expansion which must row be taken
rs an accepted fact. Although the inva-
sion of India was much talked of by
Russian officers. he did not believe tina:
it formed any part of the scheme of the
Russian government
