AU but a mall fraction of the cement and terra cotta manufacturers of America exchange their price quotations and other data on the amount of business handled through national and re gional association, it developed here today at the legislative inquiry into the alleged "building trust." While these revelations accumulat ed on top of similar ones recently brought forth in the investigation of other construction lines, one more organzlatlon of building contractors the hoisting association announced It has dissolved. The members prom ised to have "unrestricted, open com petition" in the future. The medium through which the terra cotta makers reviewed data on the business of 11 their competitors was the National Terra Cotta society, its ex-president, William U. I'owell. told the committee. Open Price Plan Explained. He explained an open-price system of cards was issued, with each firm designated by "code letters." This was done daily in detail among re gional branches of the society in the east, west and central sections of the country. General data was exchanged between the sections weekly. Cement manufacturers from vari ous parts of the country who had been here attending a convention, were summoned by subpoena servers of the committee and they appeared one after another to undergo exami nation by Samuel Untermyer, com - mittee counsel. Quoting from price lists of manu facturers who faced him, Mr. Unter myer charged that all members of the cement makers association had "quadrupled prices since 1919 and had boosted them 50 per cent between January and October this year, whe the quotations were slightly lowered, Prices Declared Uniform. The prices quoted by all the manu facturers embraced in the 1'ortlan cement association throughout the country were "horizontally, unani cious and uniform." he said. Later two of the witnesses testified the prices quoted by all cement manu facturers usually were identical with in 48 hours after any one of them had made a change. This association, according to summary of its transactions, whic were read Into the record, spen tl, 500,000 last year. Mr. Untermyer expressed a desire to get the books in order to find out how this large sum was expended, and John It. Mor in, president of the Atlas Portland Cement companq, which he said con tributed $125,000 to the association'; fund in 1919. ordered the secretary to produce the books from Chicago. Mr. Morin. one of the principal wit nesses of the day, told the commit tee the money was apportioned by states and used in employing engi neers to "chaperon cement work" and promote the use of that product. -J Hi 5P II h Mi J SCE.VE FROM 'THE MASTER MIND,' FEATURING .

Chief of Police Jenkins has been Instructed to inform all members of the police bureau to exercise "com mon sense" in the enforcement of that portion of the traffic law which requires use of lights on automobiles between nightfall and daybreak. Following a conference called by " the mayor to which Chief of Police Jenkins, Police Captain Lewis, in charge of the traffic bureau, and As sistant City Attorney Myers attended. the city attorney's office was in tructed to transmit a letter to the chief of police outlining the legal rights of the police in the enforce- ' inent of the ordinance. Although Mayor Baker held that it was proper and just that lights should be displayed on automobiles parked In dark places throughout the city, he expressed his displeasure at the method In which the ordinance had been suddenly enforced. Under his direction, all policemen In the future, upon finding an un lhted machine on a dark street, must notify the owner, making a report of such action. A second offense will mean prosecution. In the well-lighted sections of the eity. Including the downtown district and such portions of Sunnyside, Rose City Park, Hawthorne, Eellwood, Al bina and other districts of the city, policemen will be required to exercise judgment and not tag machines when sufficient light exists. lt is necessary for the automo blllst to co-operate with the police in this matter," said Mayor Baker. "The ordinance covering the situa tion must be general, but there Is no excuse for the arrest of an automo bile owner for falling to dsDlav lights when there Is no necessity for sen doing. In dark streets the lights must oe aispiayea to avoid accidents, but when an officer finds an auto mobile parked in front of a home without lights, it is his duty to so Inform the owner and give him an opportunity to comply with the law. "I am opposed to the sudden swoop ing down upon citizens for failure to cosaply with some law that has been inoperative for years. The police officers and members of the city commission are public servants and fair play must exist during my administration." ( TlHE .MASTE 1 Lionel Bai lumbia. Is i HE .MASTER MIND," starring Barrymore. at the Co- an absorbing drama of hate, intrigue, revenge, love and men a rinai renunciation. The story has to do with a brilliant psycholo gist, who, through the Impulse of revenge, is Inspired to use his supe nor mental faculties to ruin a dis trict attorney who had conducted the prosecution which sent his brother to the electric chair on. the charge of muraer. Jnls man with a master mind finds it easy to gain complete control over a gang of dangerous criminals of the underworld and with their aid he works for five years to cruh the man he hates, choosing the moment he reaches the height"of nis career as a irubernatorlal candi date.. A beautiful girl, unsuspecting of the deep intrigue, allows herself to be used as the pawn with which the intended victim Is tempted into circumstances which are both cruel and certain of destructrbn. But the master mind had in the Inception reckoned without the true love of a woman and he had also forgoten the precept that vengeance Is God's ex clusive right, and hence after all of his years of endeavor he awakens to a realization of the futility of his game in a most amazing way. The supporting cast with which Whitman Bennett has surrounded his distinguished star is worthy of a paragraph, too. Gypsy O'Brien, in the leading feminine part, excites ad miration and she builds up her char acter in such a way as to have the whole sympathy throughout. RalDh iveiiarj. as the marked district at torney upon whom the "master mind" seeks to heap his vengeance, is most convincing and gives a performance wnicn marks film as a finished artist. Bradley Barker, Charles Brandt, Marie .-notwell, Bernard Randall and Charles Edwards In the lesser roles are all happily cast. The musical accompaniment for the feature is furnished by the Colum bia picture players. The special production based on "Black Beauty," the famous story by Anna Sewell, ie now practically com pleted and will be presented early In the new year. The film, which was made at Hollywood, Cal., baa been assembled and edited at Brooklyn studios under, the direction of Mr. and Mrs. George Randolph Chester, who adapted the story to the screen. "Movie Mad," a two-reel comedy, which will be released early In Jan' uary,' Is said to be the first comedy ever made that is really based ou, "kidding" -film comedies. It is based on the admiration of a visiting young woman in Los Angeles for a comedian and the desperate means to which her sweetheart resorts to cure her infatuation. The picture opens with an WASHINGTON. Dec !. Testimony by Secretary Houston of the treasury before the senate finance committee yesterday placing tne cost of carrying out the pending adjusted compensa tion or soldier bonus bill at $2,300. 000,000, was characterized by F. W. Galbraith, national commander of the American Legion, In a statement to night as "a (cuttlefish skirmish to muddy the waters so that the prin ciple Involved can be clouded in a lot of figures that mean nothing. Mr. Galbraith estimated the maxi mum amount the bonus bill would cost the government at 1,878, 800,000. "Secretary Houston's whole presen tation of the matter," said the legion commander, "was misleading and de signed to frighten the country Into a repudiation of its obligation to ex service men. The general impression was oonveyed by his testimony that the passage ofthe adjusted compen sation bill would entail the imme diate appropriation of billions of dol lars bv the eovernment and seri ously cripple the financial condition ol the treasury at present. "The facts are that appropriations necessary to carry out all features of the bill except that of cash com pensation would be negligible for this year and for several years to come and that appropriations for cash com pensation are-not asked until July 1921, and are to be spread over two years."
