CHICAGO. Jan. 10. Official rec
ords of baseball Commissioner K.
M. Landis' Investigation of the
New York Giants bribery scandal
of 1924 made public today, disclos
ed nothing Involving any baseball
official. The stenographic record
tf Landis' Interrogation of the
players named as alleged partici
pants In the attempt to "throw a
game," revealed that the commis
sioner found no evidence against
anyone except Cozy Dolan, Giant
coach and Jimmy O'Connell, Giant
outfielder.
Dolan persistently declared he
had no recollection of any sugges
tion to O'Connell, as alleged by the
latter, to offer "Heinle" Sands,
Philadelphia shortstop $500 not to
play too hard against the Giant
club, which was in a game In the
National league pennant race.
The record shows that the com
missioner told O'Connell that his
own confession was sufficient to
put him out of baseball. Landis
also told O'Connell that Dolan's at
titude was the reason for putting
him out, despite Dolan's denials.
Manager McGraw and Secretary
James Tlerney of the Olnnta were
nnly once casually mentlouel by
the Involved players in their denial
of O'Connoll's story.
George Kelley, Giant first base
man, said he had been notified by
Tierney to go and see Commission
er Landis.
Frank Frlsch, captain of the Gi
ants said he had an injured hand
the day of the alleged bribe offer
and he sat on the bench ilu.''.! Ihe
game beside Manager McGraw.
In the course of the examination
of Dolan he was confronted by O'
Connell who stated be, Dolan, Pad
asked him to approajii Sands. The
record rhows the flowing In
part: :
Judge Landis: "H.M-1 your rela
tions with O'Comell bc-m friend
ly?" Mr. Dolan: "On the same ball
club, I suppose so. We have al
wnys been friends."
Judge Landis "Do you think
that you might have had a conver
sation about this subject and for
get it in three days?"
Mr. Dolan: "I don't think so. I
don't remember. There was so
much stuff going- around the club
house ."
Judge Landis: "I say do you
think you could have had such a
conversation as this and forget It
In three days?"
Mr. Dolan: "No, I don't think
so.

. BEND, Ore.. Jan. 10. William
P. Downing, local restaurant own
er who yesterday shot and killed
himself bought the gun, with which
he ended his life two or three
hours later, yesterday morning.
Detween nine and ten o clock, was
the testimony of R. N. Buchwalter,
proprietor of a local sport store,
at the inquest held this morning.
Mr. Buchwalter stated Mr. Down
ing entered his store and asked to
see some revolvers. Mr. Downing
remarked that he had no gun at
his restaurant and that he needed
one. A .32 caliber revolver was
then purchased by Mr. Downing.
and at his request Mr. Buchwalter
placed six cartridges In the gun.
This gun. with three cartridges
discharged, was found under
Downlng's left leg by Sheriff H. E.
Hoberts when he arrived on the
scene. Mr. Roberta testified that
he answered a phone call from the
Miner Building which stated a
man had killed himself there. .
Downing was lying full length
on the floor, his right arm extend
ed on a chair or some higher ob
ject, Mr. Roberts said, his right
leg extended and his left doubled
under him. The revolver was un
der the left knee.
Dr. R. W. Hendershott testified
that he had examined the body
where it lay, and that death had
been caused by a bullet entering
the right side of the head at a
point just above the temple.
Powder burns found back of this
wound were caused, in Dr. Hender
shott's opinion, by the first two
shots which missed the head. Dr.
Hendershott did not believe the fi
nal shot, which he believed had
been fired with the tun nreased
close to the temple had made the
powder burns. These were about
an Inch or two long and posterior
to the wound made by the bullet
Mrs. Betsy Norton told prac
tically the same story as she re
lated yesterday. She stated that
Mr. Downing had knocked on her
door about ten minutes to twelve.
She opened It and he walked in
He told her he had come to see if
she would not return to bis employ,
that his business was going to
rack and ruin and he needed her.
She stated that she replied to
Mr. Downing by saying her hus
band did not wish her tn work
and that she would consult him
and let Downing have a definite
answer on Sunday.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 10 J?e-
ports that Ralph Budd, president of
the Great Northern railway who Is
attending a conference In San
rrancisco. had notified his at
Paul headquarters that tha riroaf
Northern and Northern Pacific
systems would build a line from
Bend to Klamath Falls, Ore., were
decided unfounded by Mr. Budd
here last night.
In a statement Mr. Budd said he
had made no renort or renmm.n
dation, nor had he authorized any
statements to be made regarding
such a project. No announcement
will be made according to Budd,
until the interstate Commerce
Commission at Washington has
been advised as to the results of
the San Francisco conference
which he and officials of the South
ern Pacific and Union Pacific are
attending.
The conference was railed tnr
the purpose of preparing an answer
io ine report or Examiner Kephart
of the commission which contained
proposed plsns for extension of
railroad facilities in central Oregon.
Meetings here have been nrtvata
and until the reply, which must be
In Washington by January 17. has
ut-en examined Dy me commission
no information as to Its contents
will be divulged, Mr Budd said.
The president of the Great North
ern System reiterated a state
ment he made Thursday that the
examiner's report contained cer
tain suggestions In which his line
was "not particularly Interested"
therefore he had not gone Into its
details closely, in his statement
yesterday he said he understood
that the report "called particular
ly for a road across the state
(Oregon) from east to west."
Other members of the confer.
ence here are Judge C. H. Carey,
fnr the Northern Pacific: William
Spmnle. president of the Southern
I'SCiric and A. f Hnenrer atfnrn-v
for the I'nlon Pacific
with officers of the Southern Pa
cific lines, regarding a proposed
extension of the Great Northern in
Oregon.
It was said here the project in
volved the laying of approximate
ly 200 miles of track in eastern
Oregon. Agricultural regions in
the vicinity of Klamath Falls and
Bend. Ore., would be tapped by
the new line, whether the South
ern Pacific tracks would be used
In connection with the new line
will be determined by officials of
na' Hie, In conference with Mr.
Budd it was reported here.
J. H. Booth, chairman of the
committee who at a previous meet
ing recommended the Catholic
church property as a suitable site,
last evening withdrew his report,
stating that the land in question
could not be had.
Last evening's meeting was the
most enthusiastic one so far held,
and the site question was discuss
ed from many angles, a number of
the members putting forth their
views as to the Just requirements
of the district and advising to a
degree where the new building
huuuiu De located.
No definite decision was reached,
and probably will not be, for some
weeks to come, aa the committee
as a whole seems disposed to use
ample time In coming to a decision.
New proposals are beina: Inveatlirat-
ed and the committee will not take
snap judgment on any offer until
it has been thoroughly Investigat
ed. Much of the discussion last
evening hinged on whether a cen
tral site should be secured or
grounds bought with ample Bpnce
for athletic purposes, but no de
finite conclusion has so far been
reached in this respect
A motion was made and carried
that the four subcommittees ap
pointed at a recent meeting get to
gether at once and take uo those
nitea best suitable for the new
building, the dimensions of the
property, the price that it can be
had for, and as much general infor
mation as It is possible for them to
secure and report their findings at
a meeting to be held next Friday
evening.

fix a low, flat fee for all cars, and
the automobiles would be assessed
by the counties as personal prop

"In order to prevent car owners
from escaping taxation. It would be
made necessary to procure the
state license through the county
clerk, who. In securing data for the
atate license, would include a report
for the assessor, so that when a car
was licensed It would be assessed
In the same operation, and there
would be no way of escaping payment
"In this manner every car would
pay a tax according to its worth.
Under the present system a $10,000

are equal. By assessing each car
at its value and taxing It accord
ingly a more equitable system will
be put In force."
Mr. Palmlter states that this plan
will result in almost twice as much
