FUNDS HELD MISUSED Undue Influence Also Is Alleged Have Been Exerted to Obtain Benefaction. to office the state has become an in tervener in the suit. A member of the attorney-general's staff will at tend the trial. The position of the state is that the intents and pur poses of the will, since it embraced a charitable project of interest to the public, must be, faithfully car ried through. I Take Your Cash Discount in S. & H. Green Trading Stamps We Give Them Free With Purchases Before Judge Belt in circuit court yesterday, trial of the suit of the heirs of E. Henry Wemme against the six Christian Science churches of Portland, involving an estate valued at $600,000, was put under , way. The plaintiffs in the action seek to recover the estate which was entirely bequeathed to the churches for charitable purposes, on the grounds that the funds are not being spent for such causes. Because of the importance of the case and possible suspicion of prejudice that might exist were a local judge to preside, Judge Belt was called here from Dallas to con duct the trial. There is no jury, both sides having agreed to dis pense with one. Intent Held Violated. As outlined by attorneys, the plaintiffs charge against the six Churches cf Christ, Scientist, that the intent of Mr. Wemme with ref erence to use of the funds for char itable purposes has been violated. They hold that since this is true the funds should revert to the right ful heirs at law. These include Au gust and Julius Wemme, brothers; Paulina Grohmann and Anna Schu bert, sisters, and Johann Wemme, a nephew. August Wemme is the only heir living in this country, his home being in Portland. .The other heirs live in Germany, except Mrs. Schubert, who is a resident of Czecho-slovakia. The suit was filed June 13 of this year, though Wemme died on De cember 17, 1914. The delay is ac counted for by the fact that August Wemm was in Germany at the time the world war broke out and was unable to return to this country until peace was declared. Tndue Influence Charged. In addition to charging misuse of the funds the original complaint alleged that members of the Scientist church had used undue in fluence upon Wemme in inducing him to make a will giving all his property into keeping of the church men. With. the money derived from the estate the Scientist leaders formed the Wemme endowment fund and constructed the White Shield home, a refuge for wayward .girls. This was sold after about two years to the Salvation Army. The plaintiffs charge that the money received from sale of this home has been wrong fully converted to uses not speci fied in the will. The defendants deny this and point to their project for a Christian Science sanitarium a-t Naef station. The plaintiffs al lege that this project is also out of keeping with the spirit of charity, since it w.ill be used almost exclu sively by persons of one religious faith. Caretaker's Home Requested. Last August the trustees of the Wemme endowment fund petitioned the circuit court for permission to spend $10,000 for construction of a caretaker's home at the site of the sanitarium. Judge Evans granted the petition, overruling objections of Tom Mannix, as attorney fbls Packages to Be Carried Across Continent at Low Kates. j A new freight service, said to be of material advantage to small shippers, has been started here, ac cording to announcement by the Clay S. Morse company. The con cern, which is known as the Acme Fast Freight Express Service, will operate between New York and Pa cific coast points. No package over 100 pounds in I weight will be accepted by the company, according to Mr. Morse. , All packages must be prepared in ; accordance with consolidated freight ' classification rules and regulations. The rate on a 100-pound package ' between here and New York has ; been estimated at $5.70, whereas ; express charges are much higher, j Pj The time required for shipment be- iff tween the two points is fixed at ' A 13 days. The service will operate ; Jj package cars out of Portland each j fj day. I p STAGE OWNER TO APPEAL.!! - ig Oierator of Portland-Seattle Line ' R I 2 to Seek Decision. 'A OLYMPIA, Wash. Nov. 20. (Spe-'. A cial.) Judge Wilson in superior : g court here today refused to grant , V. an-injunction to prevent the depart-rA ment of public works interfering Kt with the Seattle - Portland stage service conducted by A. D. Schmidt and dissolved a temporary restrain ing order which he had previously issued. Schmidt, following his arrest here for operating a Seattle-Portland stage without a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the department, sought to enjoin fur ther interference with his opera tions, on the ground that the de partment had no jurisdiction over an interstate operation. Schmidt will appeal the case' to the supreme court Immediately. August Wemme. Through the attorney-general's IF KIDNEYS ACHE FLUSH WITH SALTS Harmless Way to Clean Your Kidneys and Help .Bladder. Kidney and bladder Irritations often result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and paas it on to the bladder, where it may re main to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or eetting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread; the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is diffi culty in voiding it. Bladder weakness most folks call it, because they can't control urina tion. While it is extremely annoy ing and sometimes very painful, this Is often one of the most simple ail ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before break fast; continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and .urinary organs, which then act normal again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary dis orders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effer vescent lithla water drink, which often quickly relieves bladder irri tation. Adv. BEAUTY CULTURE HINTS There is real common sense in just noticing whether the hair is well kept to judge of a woman's neatness, or good taste. If you are one of the few who try to make the most of your hair, remember that it is not advisable to wash the hair with any cleanser made for all pur poses, but always use some good shampoo. You can enjoy the very best by getting some canthrox from your druggist, dissolve a teaspoon ful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to" apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy tliat it will look much heavier than it is. Its luster and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth. Adv.
