Eilers is accused o( attempting; to defrauc creditors in a. suit filed in the circuit court yesterday, seeking to have a receiver appointed for the Oregon Eilers Music House and demanding an accounting. The action Is filed by Ernest W. Hardy, trustee in bankruptcy of Eilers Music House, against the Oregon Eilers Music House. The latter waa the lat est to be organized and a large part of its assets belong to the former company, which went into bankruptcy in 1918. The plaintiff asserts that as trustee he is in possession of 147,500 worth of stock in the Oregon Eilers Music House and fears its value is being dissipated through alleged action of Eilers, who is said to control $150. 000 or the remaining $200,000 worth of stock. The suit alleges that in transactions by the Oregon Eilers Music House in February, 1818, funds of the Eilers Music House were taken and converted by the officers in sundry amounts to a brother, father, sisters and aunt oi Mr. Eilers. The officers are Hy Eilers, A. H. Eilers and S. J. McCornrick. This was all within four months of the adjudication of bankruptcy in the Eilers company, it is asserted. A further allegation is that Mr. Eilers created pretended obligations in favor of relatives and his private sec retary in large amounts, which were carried on the books of the company as "bills payable," all "for the purpose of hindering, delaying and derrauaing creditors." The "bills payable" ac count approximates $45,000, says Hardy, who declares he does not know what part of it Is true and what is false. He alleges the fact to be that the prop erty of the Oregon Eilers Music House at a fair valuation will not be more than sufficient to pay all its deDts, and that if the present state of af fairs continues there will be nothing for the stockholders. ' Assets of the concern are said to be in "Imminent danger of waste, dissipa tion and destruction." The receiver is asked that all the property of the defendants be adjudged the property of the Eilers Music House, and it is requested further that ail property of Eilers and his family be investigated and ownership aeier- mined. and if discovered to be prop erty of the company that it shall considered as being held in trust. Eilers Piano House was the nrsi concern to be organizea in ruruuu. There followed Eilers Music House. nnrt lajttlv the Oregon Eilers Music Hniisn. The last is considered a sub idiitrv corooration. Subsidiary and other corporations involved in the liti gation are Graves & Co., r.ners music House of San Francisco, Eliers Music Mouse of SDokane.

"With the Help of God and a Few Marines" BY BRIGADIER-GENERAL A, W. CATLIN Commanding Sixth Regiment Marines at Belleau Wood The first detailed and authoritative account of the dramatic and daring deeds the famous Marines have done. ' The real story of the great fight at Chateau Thierry, when the U. S. Marines with American Infantry brought about the turning point in the war. Beginning in The Sunday Oregonian, March 23 A Feature that every American will follow with pride Brigadier-General A. W. Catlin: "Waking or sleeping;, I can still see- before me the dark threat of Belleau Wood, as full of menace as a tiger's foot, dangerous as live wire; poisonous with gas, bristling with machine guns, alive with snipers, scornfully beckoning us to come on arid be slain waiting for us like a dragon in its den. "Our brains told us to fear it; our wills heard but one command to clean it out! I can still see before my very eyes those waves in that poppy-spattered wheat field as the steady lines of our marines went in." General Catlin is a marine of marines. He was first officer on the battleship Maine when she was sunk in Havana harbor and it was he who commanded the marines in their attack on Vera Cruz in 1914. He led the marines in their heroic attack at Belleau Wood. Secretary Daniels: "With only 8000 men engaged in the fiercest battle of the world war, the marine corps casualties numbered 69 officers and 1531 enlisted men dead, and 78 officers and 2435 enlisted men wounded seriously enough to be officially reported by cablegram. With a casualty list that numbers nearly half the original 8000 men who entered battle, the official reports account for ONLY 57 UNITED STATES MARINES WHO HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY THE ENEMY. This includes those who were wounded far in advance of their lines and who fell into the hands of the Germans while unable to resist." These are the men about whom their general writes with an understanding and intimacy possible only to the man who lived with them, led them in battle and continued to direct their advance while lying on the battlefield with' a bullet wound through his lung.
