' ' : - .: : THE MORXIXC OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, JUNE li, 1021 - rrrtr mUulb UUubL I . 1 IS PLACED IfJ JAIL Hy Eilers Is in Custody on Contempt Order. CASE ONE LONG STANDING Failure to Produce in Coort Books ' and Records of Company Is Cause of Trouble. Hy Eilers, president of the Oregon Eilers Music House and well-known Tortland business man, passed last right in the county jail, where he was booked at 10 o'clock, following a con ference with his attorney and an ef Jort to locate certain records demand ed by Federal iudge Bean, who yes terday afternoon found him guilty of contempt of court and denied him an appeal. Judpe Bean, after his finding and refusal of appeal and declination of an offer of bonds, remanded Eilers into the custody of United States Mar shal Alexander, who assigned John U. Mann, chief deputy, to accompany the prisoner until he should fulfill the court's demand or be placed in jail. Following his last effort to obtain an appeal or to be permitted to fur nish bail, Eilers,. accompanied by Dep uty Marshal Mann, conferred with his attorney for a while and passed the early part of the evening at his music Establishment in a vain effort to ob tain records which, if .found and de livered to Judge Bean, would have pained him his liberty. Failing In this, he was escorted to the county Jdjil, where he wag(booked and locked up in a cell. . . f Judge Bean's contempt order fol lowed failure of Eilers to proddce in court the books and records of the Oregon Eilers company. .; Tbe order was issued yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and at 3 o'clock Eilera was arrested. Later in the day Judge Bean denied an application of an ap peal, so the order stands. The order provides that it shall remain in effect until the books are produced or until further order from the court. The case is the culmination of pro ceedings extending back over the last two years. It is alleged that the as sets of the Oregon Eilers company are the assets of the old Eilers Music l.ouse which went bankrupt in 1918. Various orders have been issued after Bifferent hearings for Eilers to pro duce the records and, according to the court, have been evaded. The trustee of bankruptcy first issued such an order shortly after the first bankruptcy proceedings and the order was afterwards superceded by direct order from court. The second order was held in abeyance awaiting a de cision that assets of the former com pany really were the'assets of the Oregon Eilers. This decision having been given Eilers was again) ordered to produce the books of his concern. He stated that he could not find them and that they had been lost. Judge "Bean after finding Eilers guilty of contempt of court and com mitting him to custody said in his r.nnrt ' "It thus appears that Mr. Eilers had" continuously and apparently studi ously obstructed the proceedings of this estate. "His excuse is that these accounts are lost and is unable to produce them, but the evidence is that they were taken, some of them, by him self, and having disobeyed the order of . 1918 impounding the books he is responsible for their production, and the mere ract that he says now he Cannot produce them, or that they are lost or inisplaced is not sufficient to satisfy the court as. to his good faith In this matter. "Now the power -of the court to punish for contempt is a power that should be exercised cautiously, and I have endeavored to do so in this case; indeed I think I perhaps have . erred on the other side rather than take any drastic measures to enforce th,e ' orders of the court, but that time has now expired. "I cm not disposed further to post pone the matte? or give him any more opportunity to disobey the orders and obstruc. this investigation, and the order of the court is he shall be com mitted to the custody of the marshal until he produce these books and ac counts, such as are specified in the order and such others as the experts mav wish or until he is further dis charged by order of the court."

For many years while I was perfecting my formula I studied and investigated tbe laxatives and cathartics on the market and became convinced that their main fault was not that they did not act on tho bowels, bnt that their action was too violent and drastic, and upset the system of the ner; which was due to t'.io fact that they were not thorough enonghin their action, some simply acting on the oppcr or small intes tines, while others would act onlv on the lower or larjre intestines, snd that they almost Invariably produced a habit re quiring augmented doses. I believed that preparation to produce the best ettect muat first tone the liver, then act on tbe stomach and entire alimen taryavstem. If this was accomplished, the medicine would produce a mild, but thorough elimination of the waste without the nsual sickening sensations, and make the nser feel better at once. After experimenting with hundreds of different compounds, I at last perfected the formula that is now known as Natsrs's ftensdy, which I truly beUeva goes lurther and does mor than any laxative on the market today.
