RUNAWAY HEIRESS
ON HER WAY HOME
Detectives Observe Secrecy in
Taking Miss de Janon and
Abductor From Chi:£go
Waiter Who Carried Off Million
aire's Daughter Expects
Five Years in Prison
' "HICAGO, Jan. 12. — Roberta de Janon,
thr Philadelphia heiress, and Frederick
Cct.en. the waiter with whom she eloped
December IS, left for Philadelphia today
w,:n Detec'.ive Sergeants A. J. Emanuel
and James Scanlon. The party is due in
J'r.-iadeiphia tomorrow afternoon.
The Philadelphia detectives observed
th« greatest secrecy in getting the elop
en out of the city. They were taken
to the depot in a closed carriage, were
smuggled Into the baggage room and
taken to a room below in a freight ele
vator. From ther* they hurried aboard
the train and the curtain« of the-draw
ir X K>om and sections reserved were
drawn.
Cohen's picture and measurements by
the EJertit'.on system were taken.
\u25a0 EXPECTS FIVE YEARS
"I suppose they will give me about
fiv* years for this.' paid Frederick Co
htri. the v alter, today to Miss Roberta
de Janon, the heiress, whom ke is ac- !
eused of abducting. "But I don't care. :
I have made you happy for a short time, j
anyway, and that if enough for me."
Cohen and Mlsc de Janon met at the
Hartison street police station for the
first time Fince 11 elr arrest. They had
a. "nice little talk together," to use the
jfirl's expression.
Cohen pinched her cheek and told her
he . had read in the papers that she
thought more of her dog than of him.
She denied it strongly.
"You know I don't," paid she.
"All rigrlit. then," said Cohen.
DFTECTIVES < HAXGC PLAXS •
Tbe pliu.a tor taking the couple back
to Philadelphia were changed twice
du-'ng the day. First it was decided
they should go todty. Then the de
tec'.ives tixid it would be tomorrow.
Then the final announcement was made
t?iat the iJsrty would leave for the east
this aftarnooa.
The delu.y was caused, it was said, by
th<= r.ece?s'tr tt liavtng to redeem some
jewelry pawned by Miss de Janon. The
Philadelphia detectives found it aJI
sooner tnan they thought they would.
[WOULD AVOID SENSATION*
The desl/e of Miss de "Janon's rela
tiiys is to avoid «. sensational reception
of the elopers on their arrival in their
hone city. : -S
"We expect to reach Philadelphia
Friday." said Sergeant Emanuel. "Mr.
RuJst, Miss d<_- Jaror.'s grandfather, feels
b;t'er toward Cohen and believes that
he is responsible for the girl's running
away. SuSst hat said he would spare
no effort ii prosecuting Cohen.
"Cohen probably will be accused of
abduction. He hat waived extradition
and there is nothing to hinder us from
taking him back."

and induced Lang & McPherson to
carry them across the channel. This
resulted in a long legal case, with" the

The Formation
Of Stomach Gases
Many Different Canses Are Concerned
In Gaseoas Accumulation in
the Stomach.
•; A Trial Packaee of Stuart'-. Cbareoal
Lozenges Sent Free
In cases of chronic gastric catarrhs
the secretion of digestive juices in the
stomach- Is deficient; the food Is di-
gested slowly: the secretion is not
normal: and fermentation occurs with
the evolution of much gas.
It i 3 evident, however, that a con-
siderable time is required to allow gas
to be formed in any large quantity i:i
the stomach, and therefore fiatuleno**
trom this cause is not likely to occur
until some, time after food haa been
eaten. If the pjlonm, or opening from
the stomach into tbe intestines does
not close properly, gas may pass from
the duodenum into the stomach, and
distend it; and such distension may
occur at any time of the day or night,
and is not entirely dependent upon
the decomposition of food in tha stom-
ach, although this may be st prominent
cause in many case 3.
There is still another cause of ex-
cessive flatulence, and that is the
swallowing of air. There is no doubt
about air being carried down into the
stomach by the food eaten; but it is
also known that liquids force a much
greater quantity of air into the ali-
mentary tract than foods do.
STUARTS CHARCOAL LOZENGES
were especially designed for the relief
and cure of stomach and Intestinal
gas-formation and accumulation, no
