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. -

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.

TODAY'S BEAUTY AIDS
To clear up and whiten the skin aad
secure that charm of pink and white
youthful freshness so much desired by
all women you will find 1. far safer to
rely upon a good face lotion rather
than powder. To ret rid of that shiny
and muddy appearance In your com
plexion, dissolve four ounces of spur-
max In one-half pint hot water, and
add two teaapoonf uls glycerin. Apply
this to your face, neck and arms, rub
bing gently until dry. This lotion does
not show or rub off like powder aad
s much better. It Is splendid for ra
il ovlng tan. freckles, pimples and sal-
lowness.
You can make a delightful shampoo
for a very trifling cost If you get from
your druggist a package of canthros
and dissolve a teaapoonf ul In a eup of
hoi water. Pour a little at a time on
the scalp and rub briskly. This cre
ates an abundance of thick, white
lather that thoroughly dissolves and
removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt. After rinsing, the hair dries
quickly, with a flufflness that makes It
seem heavier than It Is. and takes on
a rich luster and a softness that makes
arranging It a pleasure. Adv.

HOW SOLDIERS LIVE AND
FIGHT IN THE TRENCHES.
London. July 15. When it rains the
trenches are half filled with water.
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. Now Is the time to
help your weakened stomach now Is
the time to take Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery tin tablet or liquid

you right as it has been proved te have
in thousands of other cases. It will
help your stomach so that the food you
eat will nourish and sustain you and
make good reviving blood. It will en

alcohol nor narcotic drugs to give you

that 1300 employes at the Alblna plant
