DO NOT SUSPECT A CRIME.
Joint Statement Declares Mrs Stan
ford's Death Probably Not Due
to Attempt ON Her Life.
(BY the Associated Press. )

\
Honolulu. March 15.-Dr. David
Starr Jordan, president of the Stanton
University, and Timothy j. Hopkins of
the board of trustees of the University
have signed a joint statement regard
ing the death of Mrs. Stanford in
which they say:
I'm our judgment. after careful con-
sideration of all the facts brought to
four knowledge, we are now fully con-
WINGED that the death of Mrs. STAN
ford was not due to strychnine pois-
oning. nor to Intentional wrong doing
on the part of anyone.
1--WE think that death was due to a
combination of conditions and circum-
stances. The conditions were some
what aggravated by the presence of
strychnine and other drugs in the
medicinal capsules and possibly also
to the presence of the small amount
of strychnine contained in the dose OF
bicarbonate of soda.
The occurrence of this strychnine
in the bicarbonate of soda has not yet
been explained. The fact that it was
not in excess of usual medicinal pro-
portions suggests that its presence was
due either to the error of a pharmacist
or else that the combination was pre-
pared for tonic purposes"
The detectives express the opinion
that the verdict of the coroner's jury
to the effect that Mrs Stanford died
of strychnine poisoning was not iusti-
fed by the evidence presented.
High Sheriff Henry differs from the
view of the case taken by the San
Francisco detectives. The evidence w
to date. it is pointed out indicates that
Mrs. Stanford took one-seventh of a
grain of strychnine.
Mrs. Stanford's body was taken
aboard the Alameda today after fun
eraI services conducted by Bishop Res
tarick and Kincaid, and the vessel
sailed for San Francisco.

Remarkable Curative Properties of q
Remedy for Indigestion and Stom-

Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, a prepa-
ration for the cure of dyspepsia and
the various forms of Indigestion and
stomach trouble, owes it's great sue
cess as a cure for these troubles to the
fact that it is prepared for disease
and weakness of the stomach and di-
,gestiye organs only, and is not re-
commended or advised for any other
disease.
It is not a cure all, but for any stom-
ach trouble it is undoubtedly the SAT-
est remedy that can be advised with
the prospect of a permanent cure. II

to taste, composed of vegetable and

resting and invigorating the weak
stomach; rest is natures cure for am
disease, but you cannot rest the stom-
ach unless you put into it something
that will do its work or assist in the
digestion Of food.
That is exactly what Stuart's by.

digestive principle contained in them
will digest 1900 grains of meat, eggs
or similar wholesome foods, they win

they digest flesh-forming food which
