C Mackay and Attorneys Boothe and Richardson, in an argument for the substitution of at torneys In the damage uit of Adolph Btraueh against the Portland Gas A Coke company. Boothe and Richardson secured a contract from Strauch by whloh they were to receive one-third of any damages collectej, Strauch claims the contract was secured through trickery. Circuit Judge Kava naugh postponed the argument until next week. After he had signed the contract he began to talk over the case with friends and heard rumors of trouble In which Boothe and Richardson had been in volved, he declared. An appeal was made to German'speaking people, and hi, Majeske and Rudolph Markwart were appointed a committee to look into the case. They became suspiolous, and advised Strauch to change attorneys. Strauch went to several attorneys, and finally secured Mackay' j services. Majeske declared that Strauch was approached at the hospital by an "am bulance chaser," or solicitor, for Boothe and Richardson, and gavs his case to the firm. He signed a paper which, he now declares, he thought was the complaint, but which waa the con tract The real cause of the trouble is said to be an offer of the gas com pany to settle for $4500, which Boothe and Richardson are r unwilling ;t ' do. Boothe and Richardson declare that they have a good case, as Strauch was badly injured in a cave-in in a ditch last November. He ask 120,000 dam ages. . Boothe and Richardson declare they are welling to give up the case if paid for their services to date, and for what they have spent on the case.

Dr. Frledmann made the injection quickly and patted her pigtails encouragingly when she was wheeled away. Then followed a X-year-old girl -in the third stag of the disease, a blonds haired girl of 25 and a little Italian girl with tubercular glands. 6he grimaced with pain when the cloth bracer was tightened about her arm, but looked at Dr. Frledmann with the confidence with which children seem to regard him. Frledmann Injected a tenth of a cubic centimeter In this child's arm and one half of a "C, C." into her thigh. After one incipient case had been rejected at the suggestion of Dr. Bran nun, three more girls and women were treated. . The twelfth case was thkt of a I-year-old boy, upon whose right cheek was a tubercular skin lesion. There wore also lumps on the right side of the face. Dr. Frledmann examined the baby and then announced that he would in ject into the Jugular vein, because of the difficulty of getting into veins in the elbow.
