COUNTER CHARGES MADE Altorncjs for Each Sid Demand Notes or Letters Held by Other, Intimating They Have Been Destroyed or Concealed. Nearly all yesterday Frederick A. Kribs, timberman, sat on the witness stand and identified letters that had passed between him and F. A. Brewer, a Chicago banker, relative to a $900, 000 bond issue on a Skamania County timber project. Mr'. Kribs was called as a witness in the $614,000 suit brought by E. II. Dodge through his trustee in bankruptcy against Mr. Kribs and Willard N. Jones. When the huge stack of letters was exhausted. Thomas Mannix, attorney for Mr. Dodge, was not yet satisfied. This was made evident when, just as court adjourned, attorneys for each side made demands on the other for the production of documents declared to be valuable in the suit. "I want to demand," said A. E. Clark, attorney for Mr. Kribs. "that Mr. Mannix produce the timber cruises made under the direction of Mr. Dodge. The notes on these cruises have been destroyed within the past month." "Can you describe the documents you want, Mr. Clark?" asked Mr. Mannix. "No, I cannot. They are in your possession." Counter Demand Made. "Well, I want to demand also that Mr. Kribs produce other letters- that passed between himself and Mr. Brewer relative to this timber deal," retorted Mr. Mannix. "Do you know what is In these let ters?" "Yes. I do." "Well, we will offer to turn you loose in Mr. Kribs" letter files and let you find them vourself." "I don't think I'd find them there now," replied Mr. Mannix, Just as Judge Kavanaugh disappeared within his chamber door. B. J. Vaughn, cashier of the insolvent Dodge companies, was on the witness stand when court adjourned, under going cross-examination by Mr. Clark. Through him Mr. Mannix had Identified all the books of the various companies headed by Mr. Dodge, and had obtained an outline of the manner in which the financial affairs of these companies were handled. Mr. Clark put the witness to a se vere grilling, endeavoring to gain more information about the charge that Mr. Dodge was kiting drafts. "You'll have to explain what you mean by 'kiting drafts.' " retorted Mr. Vaughn when the attorney used that phrase. "You know what it means, all right,' said Mr. Clark. "Kiting" Knowledge Denied. Mr. Clark explained to the witness his allegation that Mr. Dodge had sold a cargo of lumber, from his mill, and at the same time issued a. draft against It on the E. J. Dodge Lumber Com pany of San Francisco, thus getting double the money on the cargo. "I don't know anything about that,1 said Mr. Vaughn. While Mr. Kribs was on the stand i letter was produced which showed that as early as January. 1914. Mr. Kribs expressed a desire to get someone to take the place of Mr. Dodge in the timber deal. "We will try and work a deal and have them step into Dodge's shoes. which will make us one of the best going concerns on the Pacifle Coast, so far as success is concerned," said the letter to Mr. Brewer. Mr. Kribs was briefly cross-ex .mined by Guy C. H. Corliss, one of his attorneys, after Mr. Mannix concluded. He said that at the time some of the letters were written his relations with Mr. Dodge were friendly. , An effort to organize a new company and elBow Mr. Dodge out of the deal was made when financial difficulties overcame him, said Mr. Kribs. He said he wanted to get all the creditors to "come in to the amount they were stung and all work together to get uieir money out. - ANCIENT PLAY COMING -THE TltOJA.V WOHEJf WILL BE AT HEILIG MO.DAT i.D TUESDAY.

Andromarhcr and Aatyanax in "Tie Trojan 'Women.' played some 2500 years ago, is pre sented on Monday and Tuesday nights next at the Hellig Theater. The Chicago kittle Theater Flayers will come directly here from San Fran cisco, where they gave this greatest of peace plays and most poignant of trag edies twice in Festival Hall at the Ex position before crowded houses. Although this Greek tragedy was written to tell the woes of the women of Troy after the downfall of their city and the loss of their husbands by the sword, so truly, for all time, is drawn the picture of their sorrow that it brings to mind most forcefully the con ditions existing in Europe at the pres ent day. For 90 minutes, without intermis sions, the attention of the most casual is gripped by the beauty of the lines, the tragic tensity of the players and the wonders of the scenic and lighting effects. High on the walls of Troy, with a drop scene behind which gives an idea of limitless space below and beyond, in a dim dawn light which brightens as the day advances and wanes again to dull twilight, the play ers in exquisite Greek draperies present ith rare ability the delightful tran lation of the original, made by Gilbert Murray. The Chicago Little Theater has gained an international reputation for its presentations of the new movement in the drama towards simplicity, direct ness and purity, with marvels of stage setting and lighting.

The cold Is always of the damp, pene trating, dreadful kind that chills to the very marrow. Hot food is served three times a day to the men In the trenches by other soldiers, who scurry like rab bits through long uncovered tunnels running back from the works conceal ing the guns. These men in the trenches must have good food In order that they can have good blood, and If they have good blood, they have good courage, tliey keep warm because their circulation Is good and their extremities are warm from exercise. Many men are Invalided, however, because their blood and their stomach were not right to withstand the awful hardships of this Winter campaign. When you do not properly digest your food your blood becomes thin and every organ of the body soon feels the effect. The result Is headaches, sleeplessness, nervourness and many other symp tomsdue to accumulation of poisons in the body. Unlers the stomach is given aid at this stage more serious Illnesses follow.
