The succession OF brilliant achievements

eminence an tho American stage does not
dim the triumph OF her first appearance
IN this country in the title role Of
"Everyman" on the other hand. the
fame OF the later roles that she has
created enhances the success OF the pres

AS a counter to the suit recently
filed against him by Carl Whitman for
the collection of a note for over $13,-
900. William RetZer today filed an
action against Whitman in which he
prays for an injunction against the
collection of the note. He alleges
that in 1906 he loaned the defendant
$500 with which to go to Alaska and
that a year later defendant sent him
gold dust worth $4,000. In the same
year, he declares defendant turned
over to him a draft for SIG 600 be-
cause, he said, he was involved in fl
nancial difficulty in Alaska and was
being importuned by relatives. Plain
tiff alleges that he was instructed to
invest the money in any way he saw
fit and, accordingly, purchased with
$4,000 land in Franklin county, Wash
ington. and invested the remaider in
an ice plant at Milton. Some time
later, he declares he mortgaged the
plant and sent defendant about $4,000
and. in order to protect defendant in
case of his own death, signed prom
issory note for 100000. He alleges
that he has built up a prosperous bus
mess and asks that this business be
sold and a nequitable division of the
proceeds made. Dunphy, Evans and
Garrecht of Walla Walla and S. D.
Peterson of Milton are his attor-
neys
