ATTORNEY GENERAL FAILS
TO CONSULT BURNS AGENT
WiIkerson Said to Be Slated For Elimi-

Jury Investigation Of vi''isoa Ak
Murders May Occupy Many Weeks
subpoenas Issued For $50 Witnesses.

Red Oak, March S.-With the open
ing Of the grand jury investigation OF
the Villisca ak murders, rumors are
rife Of friction said to have sprung
up between representatives of the at
torney generals office, who are con-
Quoting the probe, and j. n. Wilkerson,
of the Burns detective agency, who is
laboring to indict half dozen persons,
including former Senator f. F. Jones.
Both Wilkerson and attorneys for
the state and county disclaim any
knowledge Of difference between
them. Friends known to be close to
the detective however, were outspoken
in expressing their dissatisfaction with
the manner the attorney general ano
his assistants are handling the case
They declare Wilkerson is being lS-
'nored.
Attorney F. F. Faville of Storm Lake
and County Attorney Wenstrand re-
fused to comment on the issue raised
by the detectives followers.
Wilkerson did not go near the court
house yesterday. He was not called
in consultation with the attorneys. Al
tho the grand jury remained in session
all day and witnesses were assembling
to testify and other witnesses were

SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
ExcEs or HYpRocHLoRIc ACID
SoURo THE FOOD AND
sE FORMS GASES.

Undigested food delayed in the stom-
Ach decays. or rather, ferments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells US
that Indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity, meaning, there is an excess OF
hydrochloric acid in the stomach which
prevents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach much like
garbage sours In can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon. Then we
feel heavy, lumpy misery in the chest,
we belch up gas, we eructate sour food
Or have heartburn, flatulence, water
brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
/. fore breakfast and drink while it is eff
fervescing and furthermore, to continue
this for week. While relief follows
[ the, first dose, it is important to neu-
tralize the acidity, remove the gas
making mass. start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote a free
flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with Ithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.

Johnston Bill Administration Issue
Fails-Road Patrol Bill Likely to Be
Accepted by House and Become Law
Amendment Defeated.

Des Moines March S.-Admission Of
he possibility of defeat for the Pitt
Johnston road BILL abolishing the state
Highway commission, was made for the
irst time today by several proponents
of the measure. Evidence Of new
alignment in the legislature was con-
sidered the most important develop
nent following the recess.
1t was asserted today that enemies of
the Pitt administration bill, who had
been expected to spend the recess pros
lyting among house members in an
fort to swing suppoE1 to the Elwood
amendment, which would retain the
commission, had devoted their time to
missionary work on the senate side,
with theSresult that majority of the
upper house now oppose the Pitt-John-
ston bills Careful checks today were
said to- show that less than thirty
Of the senate favor the adj
bill. 1t is thought no
further effort will be made to prevent
the passage OF the Pitt-Johnston bill
in the house, where it is likely to res
ceive small majority.

tel. In all previous Investigations he
has taken an active part In assisting
the attorneys.
Asked for an explanation, Wilkerson
replied he likely would give out a
statement today He added that a
meeting Of a number of his followers
would be held In his room,at the hotel,
and after he had consulted with his
advisers an explanation would be
forthcoming.
Havner Displeased.
One Of Wilkerson's supporters said
he had talked to Attorney General
Havner on the train several days ago.
He declared that during the converse
ton Havner took occasion to refer dis
paragingly to the detectives statement
OF the case and the story related by
one of the principal witnesses.
Numerous persons have expressed
the opinion that Wilkerson Is to be
eliminated as far as possible. In the In
vestigation. and that the attorney gen.
eral will not permit him to take any
part In the case other than to testify
like any other witness.
1t is estimated that ESQ witnesses
will be called before the grand jury.
Among those who testified yesterday
were two Villisca physicians who ar
rived on the scene a>short while after
the dead bodies were discovered.
James bowers, who claims to be a
detective and to have worked on the
mystery on his own responsibility, also
has been subpoenaed. Court officials
believe the investigation will last for
weeks.
