COMPANIES ARE INDICTED Total Amount of Profiteering Charged in Three Alleged , Deals Is $7710. Zl. M. Starr, president of the Starr JFruit Products company, and Richard Adams, agent for Parrott & Co., a wholesale commission house, were indicted as alleged sugar profiteers in an open indictment returned yester day by the federal grand jury in its final report to Federal Judge Wol verton. The two corporations U'hich these men represent also were indict ed on the same charge. Three separate alleged profiteering transactions are charged in the one indictment which involved both con cerns, and the total amount of prof iteering charged is 7710. The indictment sets forth that on .April 23 last, L. M. Starr and Kichard Adams entered into an unlawful and deceitful conspiracy to profiteer in KUgar. It is charged that on Aprj! i3 1.. M. Starr, as president of the Starr Fruit Products company, purchased from the California & Hawaiian Sugar Refining company 1000 sacks of sugar, 100 pounds each, at $aO.BO. The freight to Portland was 23 cents per hundred pounds, making the total ret cost $-0.78 for the sugar delivered at Portland. Misrepresentation la AUeeed. It is alleged that the defendant Starr represented that the sugar was needed for the use of his own cor poration in the manufacture of fruit products. After the sugar arrived in Portland it is alleged that Kichard Adams, as agent for Parrott & Co.. entered into the conspiracy whereby he arranged the sale of the sugar to the 11. J. Hughes company, wholesale crocer? of Omaha, at J24.50 per hundred pounds, f. o. b. Portland, or a profit of S3. 72 on each sack. The sale to the Omaha company is alleged to have been completed on May 10. In Its second count against the two corporations and their officials, the Indictment states that on May 3 U. M. Starr purchased another consignmert of 1U00 sacks from the same Califor nia refinery at $22.75 per 100 pounds, plus freight of 28 cents, or a to;il of 123.03 for the sugar in Portland After this sugar arrived here it is alleged that Kichard Adams engi neered the sale of the shipment to tinions Bros., wholesale grocsrs cf Omaha, at $25.50 per sack, f. o. b. Portland, or a profit of $2.47 a sack. The suear was then reshipped from Portland to the Omaha purchaifcr, it is alleged. Third Transaction Chargred. On May 8, the defendant Starr Is alleged to have purchased 100 sacks of 1U0 pounds each from the Western Sugar Refining company of San Fran cisco at $22.75, plus 28 cents freight age to Portland, or a total of $23.03. This consignment, it is alleged, was Bold by the defendant Adams to the ilailory Wholesale Grocery, a Chicago corporation, for $24. Du, f. o. b. Port land, or for a profit of $1.52 per sack. In each and all of these transac tions, the indictment charges that the two defendants, Lu M. Starr and Rich ard Adams, were, "unlawfully, wil fully, Unowingly and feloniously con spiring and plotting to engage in an unfair, discriminatory and deceitful practice." Immediately after the indictments had been reported out, bench war rants were ordered issued for the ar rest of the alleged participants in the profiteering conspiracy. These prob ably -will not be served until today, when the defendants will be brought into court and released on bonds. Hall S. L.usk. chief assistant United Elates attorney, who handled the sugar Investigation before the grand jurors, announced last night that this is just' the beginning of a sweeping investigation or similar practices which it is charged were carried on by local corporations during the past jew montns. Others "Will Be Indicted. Mr. Lusk said he had information "which connects up other persons and ether corporations with alleged viola tions of the food control act in the pale of sugar, and the new grand Jury will continue the .investigations which were started by this Jury. The only reason that other indict ments were not reported out at this time Is because we were unable to get the evidence in proper shape for pre sentation to the grand Jury," said Mr. Lusk. "In fact, much of the evidence in this case has come to us within the 3ast week. There are certain to be other indictments of like character returned within a short time." One of the unusual incidents of this Investigation was that while the grand jury was ammassing its evi dence against the defendants, L. M. Starr, the defendant waa sitting as a member of the federal court trial jury, in the courtroom directly be neath the grand jury room.

The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. C. C. Apper son, regent of the local chapter. Mrs. F. J. Keating, state president, pre sided. The board consists of the re gent of eaoh local chapter in the state and chairmen of the state committees, making a board of 20 members. With the announced purpose of pre venting profiteering in. film- rentals and stabilizing the cinema market, ex hibitors representing 183 motion-pic ture houses of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana met in Seattle yes terday and Tuesday and voted to let the firm of Jensen & Von Herberg do all the buying for them. Exhibitors at the meeting, called by Jensen & Von Herberg, formed the Independent Booking company. Of fices will be established Immediately in Seattle, -with a branch office to be opened in Portland in the near fu ture. The company is being financed on the percentage of Investment plan and, while the entire sum involved is not known, the share of one Portland theater alone will be over $11,000. The new concern will not endeavor to make prcfits. Any surplus at the end of the year will be divided among its members according to their original investments. A 10 per cent overhead charge on the cost of each picture booked will be collected for operating expenses. j Road Men Eliminated. By the new organization road men who have sold the films to individual exhibitors throughout the northwest states will be eliminated. Exchanges will be maintained in Portland. Seat tle and Butte, but it is probable their duties will henceforth be more of a distributing than selling nature. Uni versal. Pathe, Vitagraph and Famous Playerc-Lasky, which have offices in Portland, will be able to continue selling films in so far as they sell to C. S. Jensen, senior member of the firm. The bulk of the buying, however, will be done through bis partner. J. G. von Herberg in Seattle. Exhibitors who have lormea tnis organization have no intention of forcing producers to unfair prices. said Mr. Jensen yesterday. "We real- ze that to get good pictures the pro ducers must make expenses, with a reasonable and fair profit. But the motion picture business is compara tively new and there has been some profiteering both on the sides Dy ex hibitors who have, not been willing to pay fair prices and on the part of producers who have let exhibitors bid against each other until the pic ture was sold at exhorbitant prices. Wo do not want to kill or even to starve the goose that lays the golden eggs. We merely want to stabilize the filrn market. "Organization such as has just been perfected by the independent booking company is not new. A similar con cern has been operating in Philadel phia and both myself and Mr. Von Herberg have teen east to study its srecess. For a time it seemed to go backwards. Investigation proved that it was making too much money fiom the producer. This is just what we don't want to do. We want no profits. We simply want the assurance that we will be able to get the pictures we want at a price which will not only pay its producing cost but also a fair profit to them and to ourselves. New Operating Force Xeeded. "In Portland it will not mean de creasing any of the local exchange payrolls and it will mean the estab lishment of a new and large operating force. It will taks a good many per sons to handle all the films to be shown in this state day In and day out." L. Q. Lukan; formerly Seattle branch manager for Seattle, has been ap pointed manager. Portland was represented at the organization conference by J. J. Parker, of the Majestic theater: Paul Noble. manager of the Liberty theater; Robert W. Schmeer, vice-president of the Portland United States National bank; George Bourke. north west manager for the Universal Film Manufacturing company; Gus Mett ger, manager of the Equity Exchange, HOUSE MEMBERS COMING Committee on Appropriations to Gather Information.

Professional beggars and mendl cants of all types will no longer be permitted on the strets of Portland. The city council yesterday, at the request of City Commissioner Pier, withdrew the power granted the com mlssioner of finance to issue permits for beggars. It will therefore be im possible in future for any mendicant to secure permits without appearing before the entire city council. During Shrine week all beggars were kept off the streets. It is said many of them have gone to other cities, and it is the hope of the coun cil that they will not return. The action of the city council will not interfere with cripples who are engaged in legitimate trades. Exemption From Military Srvlcel Claimed Because of Being j Alien Enemy. A LB A NT, Or.. June 30.
