WOMAN PLEADS NOT
GUILTY TO MURDER

North Tonawanda, N. Y, Sept. 2S.-
Weeping bitterly and declaring that
many of the statements made against
her by her husband and others were
untrue, Mrs. George Hammer, of Buffalo.
charged with shooting her husband
while riding in an automobile along the
river road near here, Aug. IL, pre-
scented a pitiable sight when arraigned
before City Judge Smith this after
noon.
The little court room was crowded.
Following her plea of not guilty, Mrs.
Hammer was taken to the county Jail at
Lockport to await the action of the
grand jury.
Mrs. Hammer asked to have her
mother. who resides in Niagara Falls,
and her husband who is at present in
that city, summoned here so that she
might seek their advice. They were
both notified of the woman's wish, but
neither of them put in an appearance
up to the time Mrs. Hammer was re-
moved to Lockport.

yet been returned or not Is, or course
uncertain.
1t Is understood that the grand jury
reported is indictments, 10 of which
were on separate individuals, while the
others were On two or more counts.
The fact that the jury has not yet been
dismissed indicates that there Is still
work for it to do and that there may
be still further indictments to be re-
turned before the session is concluded.
Mr.. Mehargue's Connection.
Edwin Snow, son-in law and attorney
of j. w. Mehargue, one OF the defend
ants. when seen last night made the
following statement: MIR. Mchargue'S
connection with the Boise state bank
was very remote. For one period, end
ing about two years ago, although n
small stock holder he was asked to take
a place on the board Of directors. His
business took him out of town consid-
cradle of the time and he attended COM
parativcly few meetings of the board
On one or two occasions he signed
statements, vopched for as accurate by
the bookkeepers. These seem TO be the
basis of the present charges. About
two years ago. on account OF dinerences
as to the policy and management of
the bank. he retired from the board
and since then has not been connected
with the institution"

Five per cent would be one-twen-
tieth. AS each pint contains sixteen
ounces you were then taking little less
than an ounce Of alcohol before each
meal"
YES.
But you objected to your mothers
taking alcohol in the Peruna, and vet
she was takinL far less alcohol than you
were. AS | understand it, the dose of
Peruna Is one tablespoonful. Surprising
it to be twenty per cent alcohol, there
would be in each dose one fifth of a
tablespoonful of alcohol, which would
be about half a teaspoonful, while you
were taking at least four teaspoonfuls
OF alcohol in your bottle of beer. And
yet you objected to your mothers talk
ing Peruna on the ground that the Pc
runa contains alcohol. In my opinion
1t was the alcohol that cured both Of
you. Your mother evidently was cured
OF very serious ailment Peruna con-
tains alcohol. 1t was undoubtedly the
alcohol that cured her, or at least
thelped to. The other ingredients Of
Peruna might have assisted, no doubt
did. In your case 1t was the alcohol in
the beer that cured you of the stomach
difficulty. Peruna has cured thousands
OF such cases."
well, I declare" he replied, Il never
thought of II in that way before There
has been so much sal. about alcohol
being poisonous that suppose my mind
has been prejudiced against it. But IL
as you say there is also alcohol in beer,
the same kind of alcohol as Is used in
Peruna, I cannot see where the differ
ence Is myself"
well" / replied. you have been
doing exactly what the average man
and woman Is doing. You have allowed
your mind to become prejudiced against
Peruna on account of its containing
alcohol. Without stopping to look into
the matter at all you have assumed
that there is something terribly dis
reputable about remedies containing al
cohol The fact is, however, that most
all fluid medicines, whether prescribed
by a doctor or put up as a patent medl-
cine, contain certain amount of al
cohoI. 1t was alcohol that cured your
mother. II was alcohol that cured you.
In my opinion, alcohol in some form or
other Is making more cures than all
, other drugs combined. This Is not say
ing. however, that Peruna contains only
alcohol. for II does contain excellent
remedies besides alcohol. But do
, contend that the alcohol in Peruna Is
not only harmful to those who take, H.
but II taken in the doses prescribed on
! the bottle 1t will do great deal Of
; good and there is not the slightest dan.

der Indictment for alleged conspiracy
to defraud the government in supply

torneys attending the hearing now in
progress here.
While the government Is vigorously
pushing it's case against the indicted
men, at the same time the record is be-
ing filled with evidence which points
toward a huge combination of interests
in Alaska, which controls the shipping
and lighterage facilities of the north
and in large measure the commercial
activities of that district.
That the Guggenheims practically
control the entire shipping facilities in
Alaska was the testimony of one wit
ness, Fl. ]. Douglas. formerly auditor

conversation WAS conducted with a man
of more than ordinary intelligence. be-
ing an employe of the government who
had passed through several civil service
examinations. He said to me, not
knowing who ] was:
Il think a great deal Of this patent
medicine business ought TO be stopped.
Especially such remedies as Peruna.
Peruna. as you know is IA stimulant
and contains eighteen or twenty per
cent of alcohol People take it without
knowing what IL is. and such remedies
ought to be prohibited by law. My own
mother took Peruna once. She had a
cough, night sweats, was growing ema-
ciated and weak. Several doctors ex-
amined her. The opinion was expressed
several times that she was going into
consumption. One thought it was
chronic bronchitis. At any rate, her
condition was quite serious. She was
unable to get any relief from the doc
tors she consulted, although she took
their medicines Faithfully for nearly a
yeay Some one told her about Peruna,
and against my wish and against the
wishes Of our family. she began taking
IT. At once she improved. and in less
than six months she apparently was
well. We did all we could to discour-
age her in taking reruna. but she per-
sisted. 1t finally came out in the mag
azines that Peruna contained alcohol.
Then we knew at once what it was that
benefited my mother, It was simply the
alcohol that Peruna contained. We had
the laugh on mother. We have not
ceased to make fun of her yet about her
being cured with a dilution of alcohol
She seems to be- embarrassed by our

teasing her. but is very stubborn. She
says that if she were to be sick in the
same way again she would certainly get
Peruna and take it, alcohol or no alco-
hol. SO you see if people will persist in
such foolishness there ought to be a
law to prevent them"
/ ventured to interpose a question
you say the doctors could not cure
her, and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. What difference does it make 70
you whether it was alcohol or some
other drug that effected the cure?'
We'll. don't know that II makes any
difference. but'it is deceiving the people
10 give them alcohol even though it
does cure them" he said
replied, why, l cannot exactly I'M
derstand that. Alcohol is a drug, the
same as quinine or morphine If alco-
hol cures certain diseases where is the
deception? I understand that the Pc
runa people print on the label of each
bottle the per cent of alcohol contained
in Peruna. Each patient may read 1t,
if he pleases. l cannot see whe~e there
is any deception"
We'll, ! would not take Peruna," he
persisted. Now, / was sick; l had a
