Improper Interest in Case Is
Charge Made by County
Clerk Coffey..
VACATION SPENT IN COURT
Mnflrld MacDonald Discharged lor
Associating- With Attorney for
Plain tirr and Protest Act
Before Hearing It Given.
FaafleM MacDonald. Deputy County
Clerk assigned to Judge Kavanaughs
department, was discharged yesterday
by County Clerk Cotfey on charge of
Improper Interest during the
timber land suit, the trial of which
wu completed Monday.
Too Intimate association with Thomas
SJannlx. attorney for the creditors of
the bankrupt E. H. Dodge Interests,
who sued Frederick A. Krtbs and Wtl-lard-N.
Jonea for MM.eee. was iWm
by Mr. Coffey as his reason for dis
cussing the deputy. "
A. E. Clark, the attorney who op
posed Mr. Mannlx In the suit, com
plained to Chief Deputy County Clerk
Bush, saying Mr. VacDoaald waa not
conducting himself properly and was
showing open partisanship to the other
We. Later Mr. Coffey received a letter
from Mr. Jones, one of the defendants,
soaking a similar complaint.
Varatton Spent In Cewrtroeas.
"X week ago I dined with some
friends at a downtown hotel. nd saw
Mr. Mannlz and Mr. MacDonaM sitting
at a nearby table, said Mr. coney. i
did not think It looked well for my
office t hae one of my clerks asso
ciating too Intimately with an attorney
who waa trying a case In court. The
next day 1 asked Mr. MacDonald to
take his vacation and assigned Mr. Mc
yienamln to that department. 1 thought
when Mr. MacDonald returned from bis
vacation the Dodge case would be over
and be could resume his work without
any trouble.
"But- Mr. MacDonald stayed In the
courtroom "while be waa on bis vaca
tion. He went to lunch with Mr. Man
nlx as usual, and continued the same
associations and the same actions as
before.
"Many complaints were made to me.
In fact. It was common talk In the
courtroom that the clerk waa prejudiced,
bo I dlumtseed him."
Mr. MacDonald has been a deputy
nnder County Clerk Coffey for two and
a half years.
-I didn't sbow any partiality In the
case." be said yesterday. "It wasn't
In my power. If I bad wanted to. to
do anything that would favor either
side. I have been a friend of Mr. Man
nix for many years, we have lunched
together perhaps 104 times, and I hope
we shall do so lev times more. We
never discussed the suit la our con
versations. Dtoebarged Man to Protest.
T don't like the Idea, of being dis
charged without a hearing, and be
lieve me. I am going to protest."
Mr. Mannlx repeated practically what
II r. MacDonald had said about their
taking lunch together.
"There's something else bark of this,
though." he declared. "I think it's a
move of Jones and Clark to slap back
at me for charging William & Nash
with offering a bribe to Dodge. They
are trying to mitigate this 'oil room
conference' testimony."
The bribery cbarge occupied a great
deal of time and resulted in many bitter
words during the course of the 21-day
trlaL Mr. Mannlx accused Mr. Nash,
who was one of the Krlos attorneys,
of offering 111.000 worth of 1. K.
Lumber Company bonds to Mr. Dodge
to Influence his testimony. Mr. Nash
answered the allegation with some
vigor when be was on the witness
atand Monday.
maniacs Art Denied.
"I never offered any bonds to Dodge."
he said. "I didn't have any bonds to
offer him In the first place. The sub
ject of testimony waa never discussed
between Mr. Dodge and me. or Percy
Allen and me. during all the time we
were trying to work out a settlement
of the tsngled Dodge properties.
"I told Terry Allen that, like hlm
eir. I felt sorry for Mr. Dodge If hi
really had lost all his money. Mr.
Allen suggested that. If Mr. Porter
could come up here and work out a
settlement of the case, we should de
something for Dodge. I ssid we might
do that, but told Mr. Allen not to say
anything to Mr. Dodge about It. I
never mentioned to Mr. Dodge the
possibility that we might do something
for him If Mr. Porter could effect a
settlement. Mr. Krtbs said we should
make no promises, and we didn't."
This testimony, on cross-examination,
was spiced with epithets which brought
forth rebukes from Judge Kavauaugn
to both attorneys.

Number 21
In our New Building the
entire first floor, which
will soon be fully occupied,
is covered with what is
known in construction cir
cles as "Cork Tiling." It is
made of pure cork, from the
cork tree, which grows in
Portugal, France, Spain and
Africa. As a floor covering
it possesses advantages al
most too numerous to men
tion. In the first place, it is
noiseless, and will deaden
the tramp, tramp of the
thousands of feet that will
pass over it on our main
floor daily.
It is easy to walk upon, a
boon alike to shoppers and
salespeople.
And perhaps its greatest
advantage is that it is a
"safety first" flooring, as it
is almost impossible to slip
upon it, wet or dry.
The process by which this
tiling is made at the fac
tories in Pittsburgh is a
very interesting one. To
show its durability we will
say that 13 inches of pure
granulated cork is com
pressed under hydraulic
pressure into a half-inch
thickness.
