Albany. NJ. ", March 1.-The sulzer
commission of inquiry has decided to
ele1nfnaHe Harry K. ThafM from
further consideration as a, witness in
the bribery investigation at Mat
teawan. = There was no way of fore
ing Thaws to testify after his refusal,
and the commissions understood that
Thaw believed he would be prejudic-
ing his own chances of freedom in
the future by testyfydng in the hospi-
tai and by this means giving tacit
Acknowledgements that he was insane.
No one connected with the investiga-
ton has as yet hazarled a guess as
to who advised Thaw not to submit
to an examination in Matteawan.
Agents of the commission are seek
ing H. A Hoffman, with whom At
torney John N. Anhut testified that
he had negotiations resulting in An
hut's receiving a fee of $25, 900 con-
tingent on his gaining Thaw's free
dom. Anhut said that he refused to
negotiate with Thaw because, being
technically insane, Thaw could not
make bargain. Anhut says Hoh-
man acted as ThaW's agent.

Medical men have studied the stom-

natural than to supply these propar-

That is the object of Stuart'B Dys~

They restore to the stomach It's lost
powers Of digestion 80 that it can
again do it's work without assistance
They contain, in q concentrated form
every element necessary to digest al
sorts of food, whether acid Or aka
