Honolulu High Sheriff
is Mystified
GHEWISTS STILL AT WORK
Analysis of Contents of Mrs.
Stanford's Stomach.
INQUEST TO BE BEGUN TODAY
Contents of the Bottles in Late Cali
fornia Woman's Medicine Chest
to Be Tested for Presence
of Strychnine.
HONOLULU, March 2. The police in
vestigation into Che death of Mrs. Jane L.
Stanford is practically at a standstill to
night. High Sheriff Henry Is without a
theory as to the cause of her death. It
had been expected that the report of the
chemists on their analysis of the contents
of her stomach -would be made tonight,
but the chemists announced that they had
not concluded their Investigation, and.
would not be ready to make a report be
fore tomorrow morning. It is probable
that the inquest will commence tomorrow
afternoon. High Sheriff Henry said:
"I am utterly unable to formulate any
theory that would account for this trag
edy. The San Francisco papers which
have JuEt been received, containing fuller
accounts' of the alleged poisoning case of
January 14, have not been of any help to
me. I am awaiting results.
"The analysis of the stomach and the
contents of the blearbonate of soda bottle,
together with the inquest which will fol
low, may develop some new facts. When
these chemical analyses have been com
pleted. I shall have all the other med
icines of Mrs. Stanford similarly analysed.
Her medicine chest contained a number
of bottles, but 1 believe that the bicarbon
ate of soda was the only one in which it
was possible to conceal strychnine."
This afternoon Sheriff Henry. Judge
Stanley and Miss Berner at the hotel
went through all of Mrs.' Stanford's
trunks, which had been packed, locked
and sealed preparatory to shipment. A
theory suggested here Is that Mrs. Stan
ford accidentally took a wrong dose of
medicine by mixing the strychnine with
the bicarbonate of soda.
Sheriff Henry says that there was no
Btrychnlno among Mrs. Stanford's med
icines found In the chest.
The opinion of most of the Investigators
here is that, if there has been a crime at
all, it was committed in San Francisco,
and possibly at -the same time strychnine
Is said to have been placed In the mineral
-water.
ENOUGH TO KILL HUNDREDS
Over 600 Grains of Strychnine in Bi
carbonate of Soda Bottle.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 2. The re
ceipt today by Acting Chief of Police
John Splllane. of a cable from High
Sheriff Henry, of Honolulu, stating
that there were no less than 662 grains
of strychnine in the bottle of bicar
bonate of soda from which Mrs. Stan
ford took a dose shortly before her
death, has aroused the detective force
of this city and every effort is being
made to discover who placed the pol
Eon in the harmless medicine.
The police believe that the bicarbon
ate of soda and the strychnine were
purchased here, and secretly dropped
into the bottle by a person connected
with the Stanford household.
The bottle containing the bicarbon
ate of soda and its death potion, orig
inally -were purchased in Australia.
But, according to Miss Bertha Berner,
Mrs. Stanford's private secretary, and
the maid. May Hunt, the bottle was re
filled at a local drugstore.
Dr. W. G. Stevens, a medical expert,
today made this positive declaration:
"Six hundred and sixty-two grains of
Ktrychnino easily would kill 662 per
sons. The maximum dose administered
is only one-fiftieth of a grain, while
the average Is one-fortieth of a grain."
Louis Falkenau, -who made the analy
pIs of the mineral water drunk by Mrs.
Stanford last January, and which was
poisoned with strychnine, said today:
"Strychnine and bicarbonate of soda
cannot be detected easily. Soda has a
crystalline appearance and looks llko
strychnine. It would reauire an expert
to detect the presence of strychnine,
but it could be done very readily."
The finding of the large amount of
poison in the bicarbonate bottle puzzles
Mrs. Stanford's relatives and attorneys
In this city. M S. "Wilson, chief counsel
for her, and C. G. Lathrop, her brother,
today declined to make any statement
until they had received direct advices
from Honolulu. They held an extended
conference -with D. O. Mills, but would
not discuss the matters under consid
eration though it is intimated that Mrs.
Stanford's will was mentioned.
INQUEST AFTER THE ANALYSIS
Honolulu Police Suspect Member of
Dead Woman's Household.
HONOLULU. March 2 High Sheriff
Henry says he expects that the chem
ists who have been engaged since yes
terday in analyzing the contents of Mrs.
Stanford's stomacn will make their re
port at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
inquest will be held tonight. The
ihemlsts' repprt from analysis of the
fatal dose of bicarbonate of soda taken
bj Mrsv Stanford has already -posltlve-lv
stated that the soda contained
strvchnlne.
There are indications today that the
police of this city suspect a member
of Mrs. Stanford's household of having
placed strychnine in the bottle of bi
carbonate of soda, a dose from which
she took before retiring Tuesday night.
The body of Mrs. Stanford has been
embalmed and it will probably ba
'aken to San Francisco on the Pacific
Mall Company's steamship China, which
will sail from Honolulu on March 10
:nd is due to arrive on March 17.
J. F. Haokfeld has been appointed the
representative of the Stanford Interests
Vere with ex-Judge Stanley as counsel.
Dr H. V. Murray, one of the physicians
who conducted the autopsy, says that
death was due to strychnine poisoning.
Mrs. Stanford had in her possession
v hen she arrived here. Jewelry valued
at about $7S,O0A. This was found ap
parently intact aatd has been taken
charge of by Mr. Hackfeld.
nisrb Sheriff. Henry .denies a rumor
in circulation here that Miss Bertha
Berner, Mrs. Stanford's secretary, and
May Hunt, her maid, are under sur
veillance. A meeting of natives of California,
residents in Honolulu, has been called
for next Monday evening for the pur
pose of taking measures to show respect
for the memory of Mrs. Stanford.
QUIET INVESTIGATION MADE
San Francisco Police Get Names of
All Possible Witnesses.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2. The po
lice authorities of this city were to
night expecting a cable from Honolulu
informing them of the result of the
chemical analysis of the contents of
the stomach of Mrs. Stanford and until
that report is in their possession no
active move will be made and not then
unless there is strong indication that
a crime has been committed. Tet the
police have not been idle In the mat
ter and every preliminary detail has
been attended to so that If develop
ments warrant, systematic and direct
investigation may be immediately
made.
The name of every obtainable wit
ness has been secured and the death
of Mrs. Stanford together with the
earlier stories or poisoning have been
quietly probed Into, but no formal ac
tion has been taken. Captain of De
tectives Burnett said tonight:
"I have a number of men in readi
nes to start out at once should the re
port from the Honolulu chemist justify
such action. But as yet we do not
know positively the manner of Mrs.
Stanford's .death and I do not like to
place the department in the position of
starting a murder investigation when
the facts to come may demonstrate
that a crime has not been committed.''
PETTY QUARREL OF SERVANTS
Dr. Jordan's Theory of First Alleged
Attempt on Mrs. Stanford's Life.
STANFORD, Cal., March 2. David
Starr Jordan, president of Stanford
University, said today:
"Mrs. Stanford's mind was perfectly
clear the last time I saw her. which
was on January 15, the day after the
reporteJ poisoning in San Francisco.
Since that time I have had several let
ters from her In her own handwriting
and I defy anyone to say they are not
perfectly logical and clear.
"The only time Mrs. Stanford men
tioned the reported poisoning was the
day after it occurred, as she came down
on the train with me. For my part, I
do not think she drank any poisoned
water. Strychnine might have been in
troduced Into the water afterward for
spiteful purposes, possibly a petty
quarrel of servants. This is only iiy
own theory of the matter."
President Jordan said that Mrs. Stan
ford's death would not have any Imme
diate effect in regard to the univer
sity, as she was fully in harmony with
the policy of the board of trustee.
Pending her funeral most outside activ
ities will be suspended, but recitations
will continue.
University Gets Bulk of Estate.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., March 2.
Mrs. Stanford did not leave so large an
estate Tas was supposed, for during her
lifetime she deeded the property .she
inherited from her husband to the re
gents of Stanford University, to be held
In trust for that institution after her
death. The last transfer of Importance
made by her was about three years ago,
when she made over her magnificent
residence on California street, and at
the same time practically gave to the
Tegents of the university a trusteeship
to her jewelry, which she provided
should be disposed of for the benefit of
Lelahd Stanford, Jr., University, after
her death. '
Of those who are presumed likely by
friends to receive a share of the. estate
left by Mrs. Stanford, it is generaly be
lieved that Miss Jennie Lathrop and
her sister and brother, Hermonle and
Leland Stanford Lathrop, the children
of Charles Lathrop, wll fare best, for
they were most frequently in her com
pany, and they deeply interested Mrs.
Stanford. Besides these relatives, Mrs!
Stanford Is survived by a brother, Ariel
Lathrop, of Albany, N. Y.; two nieces,
one in New York and the other in
Brooklyn, the daughters of a late
brother, Daniel S. Lathrop, and two
nieces In Saratoga. That they have all
been provided for is generally under
stood, for Mrs. Stanford had frequently
remarked to friends that while she did
not see much of her relatives In the
East, she had not forgotten them and
would remember them In her will.
Mountford Wilson, Mrs. Stanford's
attorney, and her brother, Charles La
throp, have stated that Mrs. Stanford
made a will a few months ago, but that
until later they -would not make its
contents known to the world.
Bottle Packed In San Francisco.
HONOLULU, March 2. (10 A. M.. De
layed in Transmission.) Mrs. Hlghton,
wife of Henry E. Hlghton, the well
known San Francisco .lawyer, says Mrs.
Stanford cried when telling her of the
attempt which had been made to poison
her in San Francisco, and said that she
could not conceive wny anyone should
try to do so. During a discussion of
Spiritualism, Mrs. Stanford said she be
lieved in spirits,, and intended to estab
lish a department at Stanford Univer
sity for the investigation of psychic
phenomena.
Miss Berner, her secretary, says In
regard to alleged attempt at poison
ing in San Francisco, that Mrs. Stan
ford drank a glass of Poland mineral
water with the bicarbonate of soda,
the strychnine in which made her vio
lently ill. so much strychnine being ab
sorbed that the stomach rebelled and
she Anally recovered. Miss Berner says,
and Mrs. Stanford's maid. May Hunt,
agrees with her in the statement to the
police, that the bottle containing the
strychnine was packed up in San Fran
cisco five weeks ago, prearatory to
coming here, and that it remained un
touched since then Until it was opened
last night by Mrs. Stanford herself, be
fore taking the dose.
On arriving here after leaving San
Francisco on the mail steamer Korea,
Mrs. Stanford said that she had left
San Francisco unexpectedly and in a
great hurry.
Police here will not express any the
ory regarding the occurrence.
Enormous Quantity of Poison.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. March 2.
Acting Chief of Police Splllane today
received a cable dispatch from William
Henry, High Sheriff of Honolulu, say
ing: "The Stanford bottle of bicarbonate
of soda contained 43 drams. 662 grains
of strychnine. An examination of the
organs is now under way."

GO INTO TRAINING
Coast League Players Report-
ing in California.
MANAGER M'CREDIE TALKS
Does Not Promise Pennant to Port
'land, but Says He Will Be in
the Fight Hughes Case
Is Not Settled.
Since Wednesday the ball tossers who
will wear uniforms of the Pacific Coast
League have been hiking to California
and shortly the fans will be reading
what each team Is doing in practice.
In addition to the Coast League players
who will train In California, 17 players of
the Chicago National League team the
other day started for Santa Monica, where
they will repair themselves for the com
ing Summer campaign. All of the Port
land team started for Bakersfield on
March L
Manager McCredie has hit San Fran
cisco and has told the baseball critics
of that city all about his team. The
local manager discussed the Jay Hughes
case, but stated that he would give up the
big twJrler in case Seattle sought to
make trouble. While In San Francisco,
President Bert Informed Manager Mc
Credie that the National Board had de
cided that D. EL Dugdale did not have
the power to release Catcher Steelman.
As McCredie had already turned Steel
man adrift, this bit of information did
not count for much. Of his team Mc
Credie gave out the 'following modest
Interview:
"I think I have finished my hardest
work," said McCredie, speaking of hU
team. "Signing a new team as I have
is no child's play. If you are not partic
ular as to what players you employ, it
Is no effort to get good, but to get a
winning team requires a lot of scheming.
I am not saying that Portland will win
the pennant In a walk, but I do say
that Portland will give them a battle
for It. There are too niany good teams
in the league for anyone to have a walk
over, but I think we are as strong as
any of them."
Danny Shea, the old Portland back
stop, has reported to Uncle Hank Harris.
On his arrival Shea said:
"Yes, 'Portland has a strong aggrega
tion, .but I think McCredie will have
trouble handling his bunch. He has some
bad actors. I hope Mac gets along all
right and his team wins. Portland is go
ing to be a good baseball city. That Fair
will make it good. Quite a bunch of play
ers wintered at Portland. Andy Anderson
worked In a cigar store. He has not signed
yet. though he has offers. Castro tended
bar. He Is going to Kansas City. Ike
Butler and Charley Shields were there.
As you know. Ike refuses to go to At
lanta, where he has been sold."
President Bert Is awaiting the ar
rival of "Tip" O'Neill, president of the
Western League, and Howard Griffiths,
president of the Jersey City Club. These
two men are on their way to San Fran
cisco to confer with the Coast League
moguls in regard to Class A leagues
forming a compact.
"I don't know what propositions they
will make us," said President Bert,
speaking of the coming of Griffith
and O'Neill, "so can't anticipate what
action this league will take. I know when
I was back Bast I heard a lot of talk
about the dictatorial method of the
American League. When we drew up our
new drafting measure we were told that
Ban Johnson would fight us. but we
thought Herrmann and PulUam. who are
on the National Commission, would be
able to pull him down, but it turned out
that they weren't. It looks to me as If
the Eastern Class A leagues propose to
give the big leagues battle, and they
want us to Join them. I think our peo
ple will go a little slow about getting into
another fight We are doing very well
as we are. but of course will listen to
what they have to propose. Of course.
What To Do
For Heart Trouble
I back up my advice with this Remarkable
Offer: A Full Dollar' Worth of my
Remedy Free to Prove that I am Right,
I ask no reference, no depoclt, no security.
There Is nothing to promise, nothing- to
pay either now or later. To any heart uf
ferer who has not tried my remedy Dr.
Snoop's Restorative I will gladly cive. free,
not a mere sample, but a full dollar bot

offer because mine Is no ordinary remedy.
It does not vainly try to stimulate the
heart. Such treatments are worse than
useless. It goes straight to the cause of all
heart trouble the heart nerves and
strengthens them and vitalizes them and
restores them. Then that Is the end of heart
diseases.
For the heart Itself has no more self
control than a common sponge. It Is made
to beat by a tender serve so tiny that it Is
scarcely visible to the naked eye. Tet ten
thousand times & day this delicate nerve
must cause the heart to expand and contract.
The heart Is abont the size of your clenched
fist. Open and close your fist a dozen times,
even, and you will see the monstrous labor
this little nerve must do.
The heart nerve Is only one of the branches
of the great sympathetic nervous system.
Each branch of this system Is so closely
allied with the others that weakness or Ir
regularity at any point Is apt to spread.
Heart trouble frequently arises from Stom
ach trouble through sympathy, and Kidney
trouble may alto follow. For each of these
organs is operated by a branch of these
same sympathetic nerves the inside nerves.
The bond of sympathy between the nerves
that operate the vital organs has a useful
purpose, as well. For what will core weak
ness in one branch will surely cure weak
ness In every branch what will restore one
center will surely restore them all.
There la nothing new about this nothing
any physician would dispute. But It re
mained for Dr. Shoop to apply this knowl
edge to put It. to nractlcal use. Dr. Shoop's
Restorative Is the result of a quarter of a
century of endeavor along this very line. It
does not dose the organ or deaden the pain
but It does go at once to the nerve the

it up. and strengthens it and makes It welL
If you have heart trouble and have never
tried my remedy, merely write and ask. I
will send you an order on your druggist
-which he will accept as gladly as he would
accept a dollar. He will hand you from
his shelves a standard-sized, bottle of my
prescription, and he will send the bill to me.
This offer Is made only to strangers to my
remedy. Those who have once used the Re
storative do not need this evidence. There
are no conditions no requirements. It Is
open and frank and fair. It is the supreme
test of my limitless belief. All that I ask
