This was due probably to the firm ac-

A short time after Miss Maus returned
home from her work as stenographer
in the Evans building yesterday after
noon. it is stated by the police. Clag-
gett appeared in front of her dwelling
Sergt. Brown Of the third precinct was
passing the house a few minutes later
and, he says. heard Claggett making
threats against Miss Maus and acting
in a disorderly manner He placed
CIaggett' under arrest and had him
taken to the seventh precinct station,
where he was put in CELL
Hanging to Cell Door,
Desk Sergeant Leer had occasion to
pass the cell a few hours later. and he
discovered Claggett suspended by his
neck from the cell door The prisoner
had used his necktie as a rope Sergt
Leer lost no time in cutting the tie and
hurrying Claggett in the patrol wagon
to the Georgetown University Hospital.

was released from custody by order of

Why He Was Released.
Upon learning this morning that Clag-
gett was not in custody, Police Chief Syl-
vester promptly called upon Lieut.
Sprinkle of the first precinct to explain
why. The officer replied that he was in
structed by United States Attorney Will
son to give Claggett his freedom. The
United States Attorney was appealed to by
friends Of MIR. Claggett last night. he ex-
planned today. and after brief investi-
cation decided that there was no reason
for ClaggettS further detention.
MI. Wilson Explains.
'Mr. Claggett was released said Dis
trict Attorney Wilson, by the district at
torney because that portion of the public
interested in his arrest and detention was
better served by his return to his home
than by his giving bond in the Police
Court to keep the peace. The district at
torney acted personally rather than
through an assistant in the matter only
be cause the facts were laid before him
personally and late at night"

I'VE arranged said Mr.. Willard, for
a short-time loan of S10G0.OO0 to take
care of pressing obligations. We entered
upon negotiations to float loan of APP

the market conditions were not satisfac-

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about
500 grains of impure matter daily.
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and
symptoms-pain in back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin. rheuma-
tism, bout, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine. etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.

North Yakima, Wash, says: II

Pills during my many years of prac-
