Young Washington Woman Claims
 Damages for Imprisonment.
 Washington, Feb. 21.-(Special)- One evening last week a Memphis lum- Der man. who registered at the Riggs House as John H. Baxter, went forth for pleasure
 He bought a seat in box in a vau- deville theatre on Pennsylvania Avenue and found 1t occupied by a young cou- pie. Conversation sprang up which so entertained the Memphian he invited the pair to supper with him after the show. The sequel appeared in that he turned up at a police station in the small hours of the morning with a story that he had been robbed of as much as a thousand dollars.
 The police promised to investigate and did so to the extent of finding the young woman and arresting her. She was held until the complainant. who had given the name of John Baxter, failed to appear and the authorities were notified that he had found his money. that before leaving the hotel he had left with the night clerk S96O.
 Baxter or Barker did not appear to continue the complaint. The young woman. Helen Geddes by name, through attorneys has entered a suit in the Supreme Court of the District of Co., lumbia for damages in the sum of $1O.- 008 against John H. Baxter, otherwise known as John H. Barker, for arrest without probable cause on the charge of robbing him of Sl,OOO."

OFFICERS BROKE FAITH
ADMIRAL M'CALLA HAS PAROLES
 OF RUSSIANS,
Gave Them PeFmissIOn to Visit San Francisco, and Men APe Now in St. Peters,
 burg.

Washington, Feb. 21.--The Navy De- partment today received a report from Admiral McCalla. commandant of the Mare Island Navy Yard, stating that the three Russian officers of the Lena who left the ship at San Francisco. and are now in St. Petersburg, gave him individually and personally their pa roles not to go beyond the limits of San Francisco except upon express per- mission of the President of the United States or in accordance with any ar rangement that might be reached touching their movements between the governments of Russia and Japan,
 Admiral McCalla's report is in re- sponse to an inquiry from the Navy De- partment following suggestion reaching the State Department that the officers left under a misunderstanding of tho conditions which the Russian transport was allowed to be interned, and did not intend to break their pa role.
 The three Russian officers were grant ed weeks leave from their ship, which lies at Mare Island. to visit San Fran cisco, their applications being approved blythe captain of the Lena. The naval officers here feel that 1t is only fair to this officer to say that he appears to be greatly distressed a their dis appearance.
 He has furnished Admiral McCalla with such information as he has been able to secure touching the where abouts of the three officers. Therefore no orders have been sent to Admiral McCalla to suspend further paroles in the case of the Lenas officers and crew, and he will be allowed to exer- else his discretion in dealing with the matter. No response has yet come from St. Petersburg to the represent ations that have been made by the State Department concerning the dis appearance a of the three Russian ofh- cers and 1t is presumed that the Rus sian Foreign Office is seeking infor- nation by cable from the Russian Con sul General at San Francisco and the captain of the Lena as the basis for its reply.

Interesting Experiment in a Restnu-
 rant.
 An advertising agent. representing a prominent New York magazine, while on a recent Western trip, was dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
 While waiting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the advertisement of weil-known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets. As he himself was a reg uiar user of the tablets. he began spec ulating as to how many of the other traVeiing men in the room were also friends of the popular remedy for indi-
 He says: counted twenty-three men at the tables and in the hotel of nee took the trouble to interview mem ana was surprised to learn that nine ot the twenty-three made a prac- Jlce or taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
 one or them told me he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road but since using Stuart'S Dys- pepsia Tablets had been entirely free from Indigestion, but he continued their use. especially while travelling, on ac- count of irregularity in meals and be- cause like all travelling men he was often obliged to eat what he could get ana not always what he wanted
 Another. who looked the picture of health, said he never ate meal with out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward because he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased without fear of d sleepless night or any other trouble.
 Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, caus- Ing pressure on heart and lungs, short . ness of breath and distress in chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly.
 Another claimed that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem edy he had ever found for sour stomach and aSidity. He had formerly used common soda to relieve the trouble, but the tablets were much better and safer to use.
 After smoking, drinking or other ex- cesses which weaken the digestive or gans, nothing restores the stomach to a healthy wholesome condition 50 enec- tually as Stuart's Tablets.
 StGarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives. pepsin, dtastase' which every weak stomach lacks. as well g nIx. hydrastin and yellow par fila. and can be safely relied on as a radical cure for every form of poor dtr gestIon. Sold by druggists everywhere
