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

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

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

Schmidt will appeal the case' to

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.
