4 MRS. STANFORD'S WILL IS FILED RELATIVES ARE GENEROUSLY . REMEMBERED Mlm Berner, Her Secretary, Gets $15,000 — Many of the Houtt \J Servants Get $1000 Bt Atiaolaud Pr«M. BAN; FRANCISCO. March 4.-So far as the police department of this city is concerned matters are ' at an , absolute standstill In the Investigation of the mysterious death of Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford. The filing of the will of Mrs. Stanford wlth^ the county clerk of San ta' Clara county in the city of San Jose this afternpon caused a stir in .police and detective circles. It had been ar gued by them that the bequests In the Instrument might furnish a clew that would lead ' toward . the unraveling of the baffling tangle. Whether or not the will has aided , the police In their deductions is unknown, as they are as yet not ready to comment on this phase of the case. According to the terms of the docu ment the only servant who is a bene ficiary to a considerable extent Is Miss Bertha Berner,- for nineteen years a secretary . to the late Mrs. Stanford. She, is bequeathed the sum of $15,000. In her last testament Mrs. Stanford re fers mos.t effectionately to Miss Ber ner,'whom she styles a devoted friend in her hours of trouble. ',• Other Servants Remembered A number of other servants are re membered in the will, but each of these Is given' but a small amount. A valet, a. coachman, a gardener, "a caretaker and a housekeeper have each been left $1000, the sum willed to Ah Wing,' the Chinese factotum, who had been, twenty years in the service of the family. ■ The former maid. Miss Richmond, and. the former butler, Beverly, each of whom are being shadowed by detect ives, were not mentioned in the will. Nor was .Miss May Hunt, who was Mrs. Stanford's maid at ' the time of her death. - 'All of Mrs. Stanford's relatives, both near arid j distant, are treated gener ously. To her brother, Charles Lath rop, now. treasurer of the Leland Stan ford university, she bequeaths $1,000, 000, and further . makes a request that he. be continued in the office' of treas urer of the university at a salary of $12,000 a year. , Ariel Lathrop j of Albany, N. T., -is given a life interest in the net income of $1,000,000, t<» be- invested In bond*. His next 'of kin are also provided for.

Some suffer most directly after eat- ing, bloating from gas in. stomach and bowels, others have heartburn or sour risings, still others have palpitation of heart, headaches, sleeplessness, pains in chest and under shoulder blades, some. have extreme nervousness, as in nervous dyspepsia. '..'.■■ But whatever the symptoms may be the cause in all cases of indigestion is the same; that 13,' the stomach for some reason fails to properly and promptly digest what is eaten. This is the whole story of stomach troubles In a nutshell. The Btomach must have rest and assistance and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by supplying 1 those natural digestives which every weak stomach lacks, owing, to the failure of the peptic glands in the stomach to secrete suf- ficient acid and pepsin to thoroughly digest and assimilate the food eaten. One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia .Tablets will digest 3000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment, which any one can perform for him- self in the following manner: Cut a hard boiled egg Into very small pieces, as it would be if masticated; place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or Jar containing warm water heated to 98 degrees (the temperature of the body) and keep it at this tem- perature for three and one-half hours, at thfe end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as It would have been in the, healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this experiment is that what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the eg* In the bottle they will do to the egg or meat In the stomach, and nothing else will rest and invigo- rate the stomach so safely and effectu- ally. . Even a ■ little child can. take Stuart'i Tablet* with safety and ben- efit If its digestion Is weak, and the thousands' of cures accomplished by their regular daily use are easily ex- plained when It is' understood that they are composed of vegetable es- sences, aaeptlc, pepsin, diastase and Golden- Beal, which ■mingle with the food and digest it thoroughly, giving the overworked . stomach a chance to recuperate. Dieting never cures dyspepsia; nei- ther do pllla' and cathartic medicines, which simply Irritate and inflame the Intestines. When enough food Is eaten and promptly digested 'there will be no constipation, nor in "fact will there be disease of any kind, because good <U- geetlon means . good health in every oi-guii. The merit unit success of Stuart's Pyapepala Tablet* are world-wide and they are. sold at the moderate price of 60 cent* /or 1 full-sized package In every drug store" in the United States and Canada, a» well as in Europe. TIPS TO HERALD MERCHANTS THE RAINMAKER Reynolds of the local police force, and Captain Callundan of the Morse Detec tive agency, the man who had in charge the investigation of the case surrounding the first attempt to poison Mrs. . Stanford in this city. The latter officer was asked If there was any truth' in the report that he was going to Honolulu for the express purpose of making an arrest of a suspect. He emphatically denied this and refused to state what, if any, special mission he was undertaking. When the former butler, K. Beverly, was seen in connection with the case he refused to make any statement, slmrly saying he was not on trial by the newspapers. The story published in a morning paper here ■ to the effect that a bot tle .of strychnine had been found in the San Francisco residence has not been corroborated by the police. RESIDENCE IS GUARDED Nora Hopkins and Ah Wing Are Kept Practically Prisoners By Associated Press. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 4. — The university residence 6f '-'Mrs. Stanford continues to ' be carefully guarded and no one is allowed to enter or leave the mansion. ' In ' it are two servants who are kept ' there like prisoners. They are Miss Nora Hop kins and Ah Wing. Miss Hopkins has been the house maid at the campus residence for some time past, and during the past two days it has been reported by those guarding the house that she was in San Francisco. . Today her presence at the University residence became disclosed, but no one Is allowed to see her. Ever since the first alleged attempt to poison Mrs. Stanford was made Miss Hopkins has refused to discuss the matter with anyone. The report that the strychnine found in the bicarbonate of soda which Mrs. Stanford took to Honolulu could have come from the Stanford stock farm seems incredible. The foreman of the farm stated today that the last strych nine on the place was In September, 1904; that since that time poisoned barley has been used to kill squirrels. DENIES POISON WAS FOUND High Sheriff Says No Strychnine Has Been Discovered HONOLULU, March 4.— High Sheriff Henry declared positively tonight that so far there had not been discovered any traces of Btrychnine either in the stomach or medicines of Mrs. Stanford. Sheriff Henry further said that he had questioned Doctors Shorey and Duncan regarding the progress of their exper iments and had been Informed by them that they had found no traces of strychnine. It Is probable that the Inquest will be begun next Monday. A large number of witnesses have been summoned, Including a number cf physicians, some of whom have privately expressed the opinion that poison caused the death of Mrs. Stan ford. Doctors Shorey and Duncan have, it is said, stated that even if no traces of strychnine are found it would still remain possible that that drug was the cause of death as the amount of Btrychnine which might cause death could be so small that Its discovery would be exceedingly difficult among a large amount of other matter, ana lyzed and determined. From the expressions of opinion by some of the prospective medical wit nesses at the coming Inquest it is in dicated that they will testify that re gardless of what the chemists report It Is their belief that strychnine poison ing was (he cause of death. The acute indigestion theory , has quite a. number' of adherents, though over ten hours elapsed between the LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 5. i9<>s- time that Mrs. Stanford participated in the picnic lunch and her Illness. Previously In Good Health Many witnesses will testify concern- Ing Mrs. Stanford's good health and spirits all evening before her death. Miss Berner and Miss Hunt still keep their rooms at the Moana hotel and de cline to see callers or interviewers. There is considerable speculation here as to the reason of the coming of President David Starr Jordan of Stan ford university, who is reported to have sailed from San Francisco today. Bertha Berner and May Hunt, secre tary and maid respectively, to Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford, who died here Tuesday, night, intended to accompany the remains to San Francisco on the Paoiflo Mail • company's steamer China, but in view of the fact that Prof. David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford university, and others associated with the Stanford interests are coming to Honolulu It is now believed that they will remain here. The sailing for Honolulu on the Oceanic Steamship company's vessel Alameda. today of Capt. Jules Cal lunden, representing a private detec tive agency at San Francisco, and Harry C. Reynolds of the San Fran cisco police department is regarded here as evidence that the authorities of the latter city, as well as the representa tives of the Stanford estate, believe that Mrs. Stanford was poisoned, which is against the theory held by some persons that death was due to nat ural causes. It is probable that this conclusion is based on cablegrams sent by High Sheriff Henry to the San Francisco police authorities contain ing information which has not been given'out here. - ; .'.•.; The high sheriff admits, however, that the departure of the detectives from San Francisco indicates that in their belief a crime has been committed and that a thorough investigation will be held, but beyond - this he declines to give' any information. . High Sheriff Henry says that the re port of the chemists will not be made before tonight. It is now. considered possible that the inquest, which it had been arranged should Immediately fol low thr report of the chemists, will be postponed until the arrival of the Ala meda. The police authorities here are main taining an extraordinary secrecy re garding everything concerning the case. -■:■■:■[ ;■■> MOURN MRB.

The genuineness of t FOOTPAD FINDS A TUNNEL VICTIM GETS WATCH AND CASH FROM NEEDLES MAN Hospital Patient Held Up on Broad. . way and Carefully Searched, but Much Valuable Property ■ Is Overlooked A gold watch and fob with gold eagle, highly valued because of their associations, and $5.40 in coin was the booty which a burly footpad took from W. J. Henderson in the Broadway tun nel shortly before 12:30 o'clock this morning. Henderson, who is here from Needles to be treated for a hand hurt In the Santa Fe roundhouse, is a patient at the Sisters' hospital, and was walking through the tunnel on his way to take a car back to the hospital. He had reached the center of the tunnel when he was brought to a halt by the cry, "Here, wait a minute." Before he could do anything he saw a fellow com ing across from the tunnel on the run, a big gun In his hand. As soon as he got up to Henderson the footpad, with leveled gun, told him to give up what he had, and Hender son replied that he was without any money. The thug put his hand Inside the, young man's vest and took hla watch, which was a Christmas present, When he had done this the footpad proceeded In his search and soon had Henderson's money out of his trousers' pocket. The footpad then gave the command to march back toward the city and without stopping to argue the question Henderson compiled with the' order. Ha did not stop to watch the thief, who made his way out by the north end of the tunnel, while Henderson kept on to the police station. As the light where the holdup oc< curred was fairly good Henderson was able to give the police a clear descrip tion of his assailant and the officers have hopes of effecting a speedy cap ture..
