THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19 ADVERTISEMENTS. SOUFR STOMACH{(AClD DYS- PEPSIA). Now Recognized as the Cause of Seri- ous Diseases. Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called heart- burn or sour stomach, is a form of indi- gestion resiting from fermentation of the food. The stomach being too weak to pbromptly digest it, the food remains until fermentation begins, filling the stomach | with gas, and a bitter, sour, burning taste | in the mouth is often present. This con- dition soon becomes chronic and being an | every day occurrence is given but little attention. Because Dyspepsia is not im- mediately fatal many people do nothing for the troubie. It is now well known among able physi- ns that the whole constitution ually, undermined and weakened, t nerves and vital organs are seriou d by any form of dvspepsia. This is is nourished by the blood and the biood is replenished from the food di ed. 1If the food is properly digested the blood is pure, the nerves steady, but if supplied from a sour, fermenting, deca ing mass the blood is vitiated, § and the resuit is shown in sieep! f energy, poor app ery trifle is magnified and the sees nothing but the dark side of everything.

Williams and Truxtun Beale, charged with assault with intent to commit murder upon Freder- ick Marriott, editor of the News Letter, Judge Carroll Cook yesterday continued the case until December 2. The mo- tion for a continuance was made by District Attorney Lewis F. Bying- ton and was based on affidavits signed by physicians in attendance on Marriott averring that the latter was too ill to appear in court at this time. Attor- neys Peter F. Dunne and Harry T. Cres- well, who represent the defendants, strongly opposed =a contlnuance and sought to prove that Editor Marriott was down town transacting business the day before and was able to appear at the trial. Mr. Creswell stated that Sam- uel M. Shortridge, who has been en- gaged as special prosecutor by Marriott, asked him to agree to a continuance, as he had been retained by Colonel Otis of Los Angeles to defend his paper in a libel suit brought against it by Mrs. Tingley. It developed during the examination of the phisicians that the affidavits alluded to were signed by them without their visiting Marriott and learning his true condition. It was positively proven that the affidavits signed by the doctors were prepared in Shortridge’s office and hrought to them for their signatures, The doctors admitted on the stand that they hzd simply glanced through the affida- vits and then affixed their signatures to them. ASKS FOR CONTINUANCE. When Judge Cook called the case of the People against Williams and,Beale yes- terday morning District Attorney Bying- ton submitted a motion for a continuance. He read the aflidavits signed by Drs. Herzstein, Bucknall and Huntington to show that Marriott was suffering from wounds alleged to have been inflicted on him by the defendants. At the conclusion of the reading Mr. Creswell argued against the granting of the motion. In part he said: We knew nothing of this until we heard these affidavits this morning. I deny the con- clusions and ask that some physicians be sent by your Honor to make an examination inde- pendent of the physicians in attendance upon Mr. Marriott. We feel justified in making this request. The day before vesterday Mr. Shorl- ridge called upon me and asked that this case go over, showing me at that time two tele- grams from Los Angeles asking him I he could be in San Diego and take part in the trial of a libel suit against Otis. I told him I could not consent to a continuance and we would do everything in our power to force the hearing to-day. During that conversation Mr. Shortridge made no mention of Mr. Marriott's Aliness. It Mr. Marriott had been {ll on that day it is but reasonable to believe that Mr. Shortridge would have made that statement to my face in urging his reasons for a continuance, espe- clally after 1 had denied his request based up- on his telegram. Mr. Shortridge also stated to me that the night previous he had been at Mr. Marriott’s house conferring about this The Jatter part of last week—if neces- I will be sworn in this matter—I met Marriott on Sansome street, just across the Bank of, California. FHe was walking along the street, supported by crutches. It is necessary for the court to send physiclans to Mr. Marriott's house and we ask that it be done. . DUNNE ALSO OBJECTS. Mr. Dunne augmented what his associ- ate said by a strong appeal to the Judge not to grant a continuance. He said the application was not made In good faith and that the defendants were eager for trial.- He asked the court to inform him whether the subpoenas had been served on the witnesses needed in the case, and the Clerk informed him that Detective Thomas F. Gibson had officially notified the witnesses to be in court that morning. Detective Gibson was directed to take the witness stand and was interrogated by Mr. Dunne. At this point Mr. Bying- ton announced to the court that Hiram Johnson had been assoclated with him in the prosecution of the defendants. Gibson testified that he had been en- gaged on the case since the day after the shooting. He admitted having attended the preliminary examination of the de- fendants and having seen Marriott in court on that occasion. He testified that he had served a subpoena upon Marriott the previous day and had seen him a number of times during the day. “Have you seen Mr. Marriott since the early part of November?" asked Dunne. “I have,” replied Gibson. ‘““Where have you seen him?” “I met him at his home yesterday.” “At what hour of the day?"” “About 2:30 in the afternoon.” “Why did you go to his home?” “To subpoena him.” “Did you find him in bed, suffering from his wounds?” “No, He came downstairs and saw me. ““When Mr. Martiott came downstairs did any one assist #im?" “No, sir. He cams alone.” MARRIOTT SEEN ON STREET. Mr. Dunne explained to the court that the foregoing questions were asked in or- Ger to contradict the statements in the afiidavi The witness further testified that he saw Mr. Marriott later at the office of Dr. Herzstein and subsequently walking down Sutter street toward Kearny. He stated that Mr. Marriott’s condition seemed to be good. Dunne further showed that Marriott lived more than ten blocks from Dr. Herzstein's office, in order to prove that Marriott was capable of at- tending court. When the defendants’ attorney had concluded the examination of Gibson he informed the court that if he wanted any further showing in the matter his side was ready to send two or four reputabls physicians to examine Mr. Marriott to see whether he was in fit condition to at- tend the trial. He sald he was perfectly willing to allow the court to select the physicians. Judge Cook informed the attorneys for the defendants that the affidavits of rep- utable physicians were sufficient and that there was no necesity of sending other doctors out to examine Mr. Marriott. He said the defendants had a right to cross- examine the doctors if they so desired. At the request of Mr. Dunne, the court directed that Drs. Huntington, Herzstein and Bucknall appear in court after the noon recess. GRANTS CONTINUANCE. ‘When the court convened at 2 o'clock Dr. M. Herzstein was examined. Al- though he made affidavit ahout the inju- ries suffered by Marriott, he was unable to state the nature or location of the wounds from memory. He said he would have to consult his ‘“‘case-book.” He ad- mitted having attended Mr. Marriott at his office the previous day and found that his patient was suffering from a bad knee. Dr. George J. Bucknall, father-in-law of Marrlott, testified that Marriott’s knee ‘was paining him. He stated that he had signed the aflidavit without consultation with the attorney who drew it. He said he knew it came from Mr. Shortridge's office and, having glanced through it, af- fixed his name. He said he did not think Mr. Marriott was fit condition to at- tend the trial at this time. Dr. T. W. Huntington’s testimony did not differ from that given by his colleagues. The defendants’ attorneys strove to prove by J. M. Kilgariff, an insurance man, that Marriott had called upon him on Wednesday and transacted business. Mr. Kilgariff said he had not seen Mr. 1902, COMPANIES HOLD UICIDE THEORY Louisville Business Man Is Found Dead Near Jacob Park. Life Insurancs Policies Car- ried by Him Aggregate $340,000. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 18.—It devel- cped to-day that R. C. Whayne, a Louls- ville business man, who was found dead last night in the vicinity of Jacob Park, with a gunsliot wound in the breast, car- ried insurance on his life of $340,000 and had applications pending for $50,000 more. The policies were distributed as fol- lows: Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, $200,000; Providence Savings Life Assurance Society of New York, §120,000; Union Central Life, $10,000; New Yerk Life, $5000; Northwestern Mutual Life, $3000. Whayne had applied for a policy of $25,- 000 with the Manhattan Company, and the policy was to issue December 22. Another application had been made to the Mutual of Vermont for an equal amount and this policy was to be dated December 24. It was upon the fact that Whayne carried such a large life insurance and was said to be suffering from rheumatism that the theory of suicide is based. Coroner Kel- ley sald the circumstances were such that the case would require exhaustive inves- tigation. The inquest will be held Satur- day next. Near Whayne's body when found, but on the opposite side of a wire fence, was a shotgun with one barrel empty and the other loaded and cocked. His friends and family declare death was due to an accident, and that the gun was discharged while he was climbing the fence. Commencing Sunday, December 21, local service will be resumed via Alameda mole between San Francisco and Alameda, High street, the ferry-boats on Narrow Gauge route leaving on the old schedule, 15 minutes before and after the hour.

MARKED CHANGES IN WHITE HOUSE President and Mrs. Roosevelt Give Dinner to Cabinet. First Formal Function Since the Remodeling of the Mansion. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The President | and Mrs. Roosevelt gave a dinner at the ‘White House to-night in honor of the Cabinet, to which a large number of other guests were also invited. It was the first formal evening function at the ‘White House since its remodeling and gave the guests an opportunity to view the many changes which have been made in the interior of the mansion. The table was set in the new state din- ing-room, which has beén enlarged, thus obviating the necessity of holding the large dinners in the east room, to which resort was made during the last session. The room has been finished in Engiish oak. The table was set in the form of a semli-circle and the decorations were mainly red and white roses. The guests found that many changes had been made in the interior of the house since last summer. The greatest object of Interest was the east room, which had been finished in white enam- eled woodwork, with Corinthian pilasters and panels, the windows being draped with curtains of subdued yellow. The old chandeliers have been removed and in their place are others designed in the form of a cascade of crystal in loops and festoons of cut glass, each chandelier be- ing composed of 700 pleces. In the cor ners of the room are golden stands, sur- mounting which are clusters of Roman electric lights, while the old-fashioned mantelpleces have been supplanted Ry others of vari-colored marble. The red, blue and green parlors also have undergone complete renovation and make a rich showing. Each room has been sup- plied with new furniture of exquisite workmanship. The main feature of alteration noticed as one enters the house is the removal of the staircase partition which separated the vestibule from the long red corridor back of it, thus making the whole one large, open space and giving a free space for moving and accommodating the large crowds which attend the evening recep- tions. Clusters of Roman lights on golden stands also adorn this portion of the house. Old mirrors in the vestibule have been removed and larger ones, reaching almost to the ceiling, have been put in their places. The general effect of the lower portion of the house, with the ex- ception of the state dining-reom and the several parlors, is white, conforming to the outside appearance of the house and in keeping with the name of the mansion itself. . HEANY DAMAGE IN THE SOUTH Imperial Section of San Diego County Badly Flooded. Downpour Turns the Saltom River Into a Raging Torrent, ——— Special Dispatch to The Call, i SAN DIEGO, Dec. 18.—Word comes from the Imperfal section that the entire country there is a vast sea of mud and water after the heavy rain of last Fri~ day, Saturday and Sunday. The unflu- ished grading of the streets in Imperial has cut off the drainage ways and the town is fairly afloat. Those who live fn tents found themselves in bed Sunday surrqunded by a sea of water. Those fortunate enough to occupy houses were but little better off. The ice plant was | nearly two feet under water and there | was heavy damage because of flooded | celiars. | The Salton River, north of Imperial, is a raging torrent and e stages from Oid Beach are unable to cross. On Sunday morning the mafl carrier started on horseback from Old Beach with the mail on a pack pony. He ar- rived at Imperial after a hard struggle with the mud and water. At the Séiton River he found a body of water about a quarter of a mile wide and twelve feet | deep and was compelled to swim his horses for more than seventy-live feet. | A Mr. Foster and his family narrowly escaped death in the Salton. They were going from Old Beach with a load of | household goods and when it began to | rain pitched their tent en the first bench |in the Salton channel, where they were sheltered somewhat by trees and a high bank. During the night they were awak- |ened by the roaring of the waters and | barely had time to escape with their | lives. They rescued the horses and har- | ness, but their wagon load of goods and tent are still in the river with just their tops visible above the raging flood. Salvationists Welcome Their Leader.
