KENNEALLY MIXUP
Continued from First Page.

j went to my attorney, Mr.. Nova. at 90
Court street. Brooklyn. and asked him
what ! should do about making an
affidavit to the effect that had been
mistaken in Kenneallys identity.
''He told me Ito sit tight and do
nothing and on February 26. Sunday.
! called on Justice Mays stepson and
by chance saw the Justice. asked
him his view on the matter. and he
told me he could see no harm in my
signing the affidavit Two days later,
on Tuesday. / received telephone call
from my lawyer. Mr.. Nova, who said
he had the affidavit at his office and
advised me to sign it.
Mr.. Untermyer expressed surprise
when, in answer to his question. Blick-
man said Justice May had not advised
him to present the matter Of his er-
roneous testimony to the Attorney-Gen-
eral He said he had told Justice May
that he was certain he had made q
mistake in swearing TO the Grand Jury
that he had given the money 10 zen
neatly.
Then Mr. Untermyer touched upon the
fact that Mr.. Nova was likewise coun-
sci for Mr.. McCooey and received the
reply from the witness that ne never
knew that his attorney had any pro-
leader Blickman did admit however,
he suspected Mr.. Nova had communi-
Gated with Mr.. Medalie just prior 10
the time he had signed the affidavit.
Justice May last night said:
"I did not tell Mr.. Blickman to re-
cant anything and he has not recanteu
anything ! gave him no advice what-
soever and did not try to exert any
influence upon him. ! merely told him
that IL he had done man an injustice,
as he told me he felt he had, he owed
It to that man to tell the whole truth.

Justice Nav said further that it was
ridiculous to indict a man on the testi-
money of another who had seen the
accused but once. who could not de-
scribe him and who admitted he wouid
not know him II he saw him again.
Mr.. Nova. who is chairman OF the
Democratic legal committee OF Brook
lyn, after the adjournment OF court m
timated that the present investigation
was an attempt to make political capital.
In SO far as he was concerned, ne said'
there was nothing political in the situa-
tion.

the testimony of MIR. Bickman, ne
said. 1T is simply an explanation OF

ACID IN STOMACH
S0URS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid Is Cause of Indigestion.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and Indigestion are
nearly Away due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from lack of digestive juices.
He states that am excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-
ton, then our meals sour like garbage
In can. forming acrid fluids and
gases which initiate the stomach like
toy balloon. We then get that
heavy. lumpy feeling in the chest, we
eructate sour food, belch gas. 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 a glass of
water before breakfast while it is
effervescing, and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for one week While relief
follows the first dose. it is important
to neutralize the acidity remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver, slim
ulate the kidneys and thus promote
free flow of pure digestive Juices.
Jad Salts is inexpesive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent
results.

nounced today by Secretary Hoover.
Meetings here CT the commission
have been concluded and the state

Several different plans for the
equitable distribution of the water IN
the basin between the seven states
were presented by members OF the

these different plans. and it was con-
sidered desirable that the different
state representatives should consult
their state officials before further dis
cussion should take place
THE commissioners were unani-
nous upon the urgent necessity of
undertaking the construction of the
large control dam at some point in
the Colorado canyon, and that the de-
velopment of the river should be I'M
dertaken as a whole in order that its
value should be best preserved to the
entire people of the seven states"
