One tha -short and ugly word" waa passed directly, and tbe aecond time an : Invitation 10 go oitalde" waa Inferred. Both timea Judge Kavanaugh cau tioned the lawyers to atop quarreling. Mr. Krlba waa on tha stand In the morning- undergoing cross-examination ajr Mr. Mannix. -1 treated Dodge fairly." declared Mr. Krlba In reply to tha crUp. accus ing questions hurled at him by tha attorney. -l.lr.- Says Mr. Clark. Tou atolo hla property." snapped Mr. Mannix. . That's a lie." Interrupted Mr. Clark. Tha lawyers glared at each fiercely. Thla Is .entirely out of place. Its tlemen. Proceed with the easa and let a, hear no mora or thla." laid Judge Kavanaugh. -Very well: III withdraw my re mark, but he shouldn't bare said any thing Ilka that." said Mr. Clark aa he sat dowm Tha cross-examination of Mr. Krlba developed Hula except a. marked ani mosity between the two aides In the timber Isnd suit. Wood worms and their hablta occupied a great deal of time. 8om half a hundred million of timber on the Krlba tract In Fkamanla County. Washington, waa burned tt-nber. A little of It. at least, had worms In It. Mr. Mannix brought an armful of the burned timber Intu the courtroom to introduce aa evidence. Warms Are Asked Ahaat. Mr. Mannix showed the wood to Mr. Krtbs and asked him about wood - worms. -There's a lot of good timber In that " tree Inside tha placea where the worms - hare bored." aald Mr. Krlba. "Tea. It would be good timber If the - wormholea were cut out." remarked Mr. Mannix. "Mightn't these worms hare got Into the timber since 190 when - - yosr cruise waa made?" -As tha worms when they went Into The timber. They didn't say anything ' to me about it-" Later Mr. Mannix asked Mr. Kribi "about his attitude toward Mr. Dodge. "Didn't you put your hand on his shoulder and say. 1 will alwaya be a father to your" asked tha attorney. Mr. Krlba leaned far back In the wit ness chair and laughed. "No." he said, sbsklng his bead and taking out his handkerchief. "No, Mr. Mannix. I didn't say that." . After Mr. Kribs left the witness atand Mr. Clark began calling timber cruisers to tlx the amount of timber en tha tract. While Mr. Mannix waa . cross-examining one of these cruisers. Mr. Clark made freguent remarks about tha Quest loos. These clearly bothered Mr. Mannix and ha finally exploded. "I've had enough of nasty remarks from you," he snapped. "You say things In the courtroom that you wouldn't dare to say outside." -No, no. I don't." drawled Mr. Clark easily. "I'll say them outside, all right." Privilege Is Promised. ; "Tbe privilege will be accorded you." said Mr. Mannix. turning back to his witness. Mr. Clark smiled and locked hla hands back of hla head. JudK Kav anaugh held up hla hand and tbe case proceeded. Tha erosa-examination of one of the cruisers. T. J. Clement, waa under way when court adjourned at ft o'clock un til Monday morning. Three more cruis ers and possibly another wltnesa or two remain to be called for the defense. Tha defense's ease, according to Mr. Clark, probably will be completed early this week. MRS.

The Goodyear All-Weather is an extra tread vul canized on to the regular. It will cost us this year about $1,000,(X)0 to give this double thickness on our output of All -Weathers. This means more than extra ivear. It means deep grips which remain efficient after thousands of miles of service. Serious Defects Some apb-skids Lave shallow, short-lrved projections. Some have rounded edges which' fa3 to grip. Some center the strains at small points in the fabric Some cause much jibration. The Goodyear All -Weather has sharp edited crips. It is flat and .regular, so it runs like a plain tread. It distributes the strains. Any man who meas ures and compares anti skids is bound to choose Goodyear All-Weathers.

Busings method, of destroying waste ful competition are to be applied to Oreaon churches. The first application is to be to rural communities, where .everal starving rival congregations may be .up.r.ed.d by one which could be supported properly. Thla step Is ex pected to lead araduaUy to church wide unity, breaking down the barriers of interdenominational rivalry. Buch is the summary of the work of the third annual State Interdenomina tional Ministerial Conference, held at the University of Oregon during , the past week, and regarded as the most radical and carrying perhaps the boldest expressions ever countenanced by the churches of Oregon, according to those 'in attendance. New Attitude Takeau A year ago, when a similar session . . . - ......inahnnai subjects were Wl ne.u. - let strlcUy alone. Fear of treading upon denominational toes and dogma waa conspicuous. Its absence and gen eral recognition "of a aerious problem, with 40 or more separate church or ganisations in Oregon, working In dividually, without co-operation or fed eration, were equally conspicuous dur ing the past week. "The attitude of the 100 or more Oregon pastors present is regarded by those of Eastern atates present as highly significant and indicative of the fact that Oregon la about to take a leading part in a movement which Is characterised by church federations and unified action on given problems. ... . m .v.. rt.at la MinMrncd. the trreat trouble la that we've followed the Idea tnai eacn man i, . -own brand of religion." aald Dr. Her- a x- ...
