Eugene Il. Schmitz on Wednesday In
a statement to the Associated Press
In local papers to the effect that the
prosecution has abundant evidence
that Schmitz prohted to the extent OF
not less than s662,0 from participa
tion in the "boodling" operations now
under investigation by a grand jury.
These charges he said ARE ma.
liciously false. and, as soon as | am
afforded the legal opportunity, shall
prove them to be untrue"
He declared himself anxious for
speedy trial. but said 1t was unfair
that he should be brought to trial be
fore any Judge in San Francisco, all OF
whom he alleged were biased. He de-
clared 1t outrageous that he should ne
kept for four months under a foul
cloud, with the prospect that the trial
would be delayed for another four
months.
rhe mayor said this was no time
for libel suits, but when he had been
tried and Judged by jury he would
give no quarter. He said his annual
income was $4,000; that he was not a
high liver and that he had not neg
lected opportunities for investment

proper use of these investments and
would show in court where he had got
every penny since he had been mayor

Oakland bank to the credit of the tele
phone company, then transferred tc

books of the bank that the purpose OF
changing the deposit was to cover ur
the alleged payment Of money to the
supervisors
Each witness as he came from the
inquisitorial chamber refused to di

asked him or the answers given in the

Help for a
 Weak Stomach

It is SO common nowadays to find person with a weak stomach. They can't eat this and that and confine them selves to diet that would scarcely keep an infant alive.
 However, that won't cure the trouble. If you can't eat ordinary healthful food without suffering then there is something the matter with your stomach, and you ought to get it attended to. Don't deny yourself the pleasures of life, but get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and let it strengthen your stomach muscles and tone up your whole digestive system. Then you will be well.
 Mrs Walker Jones. of Bucyrus, O., had e weak stomach for long time until one day she Qured about 1t and they recommended Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. She took 1t and Is now perfectly healthy and well. Much the samo can be said of MT. Collins. of Pembroke Va, who suffered a stroke of paralysis which left him with weak stomach. He tried various kinds of medical treatment and medicines with out success, then took pr. Caldwell's Syrup can tell stories of weak stomachs wonderfully strengthened by the use of this great remedy.
 If cannot be too highly recommended in all stom ach liver and bowel complaints in old and young. It's gentle action and pleasant taste recommend 1t especially to women and chil- dren and to all. in fact. who believe that laxa- tive can be effective even if it does not taste bad We cannot urge you too strongly to take this grand remedy in constipation, dyspepsia. weak stomach. liver trouble, biliousness, etc. You can buy 50 cent or q bottle of your druggist and he will guarantee It to do what we claim.
