Real Estate MM SON THE g ussnrn ed that the Eastern Oregon Co-operat ive Telephone company was ruining its business by its low competitive rates, that it was sapping the cream of the service in Union county, and that it was operating its lines, which served Elgin, Summerville, Cove and Union at a loss to itself,' that its wires and equipment were not of as good ma terial as those of the plaintiff com pany, . The defendant company replied that it was entirely satisfied with the returns it was receiving, that the tele phone system was a mutual and co operative concern and was intended to give, its patrons a cheap ' srvire. But the railroad commission finds this service is being given too cheaply. It finds that a company cannot volun tarily operate at a loss to itself and ruin to its competitor. The principle here laid down is considered of far reaching importance. . ; j ..' .The company was furnishing' tele phones to its own members, who paid a membership fee of $36, for 50 cents a month, and to non-members for $1 a month, and all patrons were entitled to 10 free long distance calls a month over any of the company's lines. After Ithe suit was begun .the company made its charges to members and non-members equal. 'There was no difference in the rental of 'business and residence telephones or in private or party lines. The commission, orders the company to charge as a minimum the following: For business telephones, individual service, ?2.50 per montn; party lines $2 per month; for residence telephones Individual service, $1.75 per month; party lines, $1.25 per month; such rent al to include the privilege of free ues of the - association's lines in Union county for conversations limited to four minutes to all subscribers of de fendant, if it so elects. The company is given 30 days in which to put these rates into effect. These charges are to be made to all persons, whether members of the asso-. ciation or not j In its order the commission says: j "The commission finds that the rates'' and charges made and imposed by the j defendant, as the same existed at the; time of the hearing, were and are in-1 sufficient to provide sufficient funds; to operate and maintain the plant of the defendant, and will not provide any ' depreciation or replacement fund or' reserve, or to pay any part of the fix- j ed charges on the outstanding indebt edness of the said association repre senting its investment in the telephone plant serving its patrons. That the charges fixed by said tariff, O. R. C. No. 1, viz., $1 per month, with free switching between stations on defend- j ant's lines, are insufficient to yield sufficient income to provide for the proper maintenance and operation of said plant, and will yield nothing to-! ward the creation of a depreciation fund, or the meeting of its fixed charge obligations. That without sufficient revenue the service of defendant can not be maintained at an adequate or reasonable standard." Millionaire Up For White' Slavery. Los Angeles, July 24. George H. Bixby, multi-millionaire, owner of the famous Hotel Virginia e-Long Beach, heavy stockholder in half a dozen banks and trust companies, trustee of a prominent college and member of exclusive society, circles was due for trial today on the charge of con tributing to the delinquency of Irene Marie Brown-Levy, 18, and Cleo Helen Barker, 19, who are minors unr der the California juvenile law unti'. they are 21 years of age. Because he suffered an operation of the nose recently Bixby did not go to trial today. The trial is now sched uled for September 11. The case against Bixby grew out of the white slave investigations, started some months ago by the Los Angeles county grand jury when Kitty Phil lips, a moving picture actress, was accused of blackmailing a man whose name was withheld by the authorities. She charges that this mysterious char acter, who went under the name of "Black Pearl" was Bixby. The blackmail charges were neveo pressed. Instead, Kitty Phillips was charged with vagrancy before Police Judge Rose, now mayor of Los Ange- ! les, and "run out of town" on suspend ed sentence of six moths. She took with her to San Francisco, Marie For rester, another young girl. Subse quent charges by Miss Phillips started the grand jury probe, and the two girls were brought back to Los Angeles by detectives. Both testified before the j grand jury,, and the incident of Bix- ; by, Mrs. Josie Rosenberg and Mrs. Elizabeth Espey followed. j The millionaire claims that ' the charges against him are the result of ' his .refusal to pay blackmail. He has employed Oscar .Lawler, noted asspe- ! cial prosecutor in the McNamara dyn- ' amite investigation, to defend him. Mrs. Rosenberg and Elizabeth Es- :pey, rooming house keepers, are charg ed with having enticed young girls jinto dives and there engineered meet ings between them' and rich men for ' profit i- Irene Brown-Levy, told the grand jury that she was given ?800 by one man. in one of Mrs. Rosenberg's resorts; The money she says was di vided into three portions, one; to her self, one to Mrs. Rosenberg and one to Mrs. Espey. . ; : , ; If a conviction, is secured against Bixby, the grand jury will renew its inquiry into white slavery conditions here. Bixby's defense is expected to be that the girls involved are all mem bers of a gigantic blackmailing ring who have successfully imposed on the public. Bixby has been at liberty on $10,000 bail. See America First. Portland, Ore., July 24. To keep at home at least a portion of the half mil lion dollars which, according to gov- j ernment statistics, is being spent an- nually by Americans seeking health and pleasure in foreign countries, con gress and President Wilson will, in ' the near future, be requested formal ly to create a national tourist and trav el commission as a permanent federal board, the purpose of which will be the I advancement of the "See America First" movement. Plans with this idea in view are being prepared today by George L. Hutchin, president of the festivals as sociation of the Pacific coast, an or ganization made up of the executive officers of the festivals and carnicvls held annually by various municipalities of the Pacific coast. When the plans are perfected they will be put in the form of a memorial to congress and the president pointing out the advant ages of such a commission and urging its immediate creation, i After the memorial has been presented several congressmen from Pacific coast states will collaborate on a bill which will be introduced in congress. The idea of the National Tourist and Travel commission had its inception at the annual convention o,f the Festival association held recently in Tacoma Wash. An executive committee has been appointed by President Hutchin to interest the congressional delegates of various states in the movement so that when the memorial and bill are brought before the national executive board for action it will receive due con sideration. The proposed commission would be empowered to make a thorough in vestigation of the natural scenic beau ties and climatic conditions of every portion of the country, investigate and classify the various winter and sum mer resorts of the United States and gather all possible data to be placed at the disposal of the traveling public especially that portion which is ac customed to make annual pilgrimages abroad. A Penny a Lunch. St. Louis, Mo., July 24. It has been just one month today since the anti free lunch law went into effect here srd every one is agreed that there might as well not be any such law. p-ofticallv every saloon in the city sells a pretty fair lunch for one cent. Others have placed slot machines near the eats with placards calling atten tion to the law and asking beer buyers to drop pennies in the slot if they get away with any of the food. In one downtown saloon, one of the biggest n town, an inqisitive patron counted four cents in one of the pay as you eat money boxes just after, few hundred Vyyry snt thirsty base ball fans, re turning from a ball game, had eaten everything on the lunch counter. Dur ing the time the crowd was in the sa loon, the attendant behind the lunch counter was busy elsewhere. In some of the saloons the proprietors insist on the payment of the penny but the cus tomer gets a ticket which he doesn't have to turn in at the lunch counter and which can be carried about and used as a sort of "rain check" ticket. Nobody has been arrested yet for swiping a few hot dogs and cheese. Phonograph Correspondence. Paris, July 24.
