Or.. Aug. 25. (Special.) ' A aeries ' of charges and counter . charges, exchange of bitter personal- ities and subsequent interference in the debate by the members of the Oregon public service commission this afternoon enlivened the Pacific Tele i phone & Telegraph company rate re- hearing here today. The barrage started when H. . M. Tomlinson, representing Portland and ' other municipalities, introduced into ? the record an exhibit purporting to . cover many items of .service afforded t by the American Telephone & Tele- graph company to its subsidiary cor ; porations under what has been gen ; erally referred to during the hearing ; 0.3 the 4 per cent arrangement. Shaw Takes Exception. Mr. Tomlinson first pointed out an Item which he intimated was a direct charge by the American Telephone & Telegraph company against the Paci fic Telephone & Telegraph corpora tion for the setting up and use of a voice amplifier during the Rose Fes lval. held in Portland last May. "It was the general Impression throughout the state at the time the amplifier was brought to Portland," (said Mr. Tomlinson, "that there would le no charge for the device." James T. Shaw, of counsel for the telephone company, took exception to the intimations of Mr. Tomlinson and declared that the insinuation that a charge had been levied for demon strating the amplifier in Portland was false. Intimation Held False. "This false intimation was made by Attorney Tomlinson," declared Attor ney Shaw, "to spread throughout the elate the untrue impression that the telephone patrons of Oregon are pay ' ing to the American Telephone & Tel egraph company large sums of money without receiving corresponding ben efits. Mr. Tomlinson's statement is rot true. To defend his position he has resorted to hot-air blast busi ness." Continuing, Mr. Tomlinson pointed out items connected with rate-mak ing and the installation of a public leiepnone address system, at the dem ocratic national convention held in Ban Francisco. Also an item with relation to a conference of telephone officials held in San Francisco for demonstration purposes. Payment la Denied. "The Oregon plant of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company did ; not pay one red cent for bringing the ' amplifier to Portland or arranging for the public address system at the democratic national convention, and you know It," shouted Attorney Shaw. Attorney McNary objected .' to Mr lomiinson pointing out the various items contained in the exhibit on ; the grounds that the book itself was the best evidence. Chairman Williams, while not up holding Attorney McNary's oblec , tion, urged Mr. Tomlinson to be brief, ! Mr. Tomlinson complied with the re- j quest, whereupon the exhibit . was formally received in evidence by the commission. MAPEMOISHLLE MARCEL1XE IVALHOY.

NEW HALL IS OCCUPIED1 Exhibit Are Analysed. ti. J. lllard, when recalled to the witness stand by the city of Port land in rebuttal, analyzed a number of exhibits relating to comparative price for telephone equipment de manded by the Western Electric com pany and so-called independent cor porations.

Another Clash Occurs.

It was suggested that the Marshall ex change be selected for the demon strations. Attorney 'McNary said that while the telephone company had no objec tion to the commission viewing the equipment in actual operation, the corporation was not disposed to have in attendance at "the demonstrations an engineer endowed with mercenary purposes. "Mr. Babcock is nothing more nor less than a propagandist for the har monic system," declared Attorney Mc Nary. "His chief interest is in the independent companies, and the whole case, as far as the city of Portland is concerned, has been conducted with the Intention of saddling- onto the people their automatic system. "Nine-tenths of the time and three fourths of the effort has been devoted to an attempt to sell the harmonic Bystem." Tomllnaon Returns Klre. Attorney Tomlinson returned Are and charged that there was nothing in the testimony to indicate that Mr Babcock Is a propagandist. "The American Telephone & Tele graph company and the Western Electric corporation are the real propagandists," said Mr. Tomlinson. "Mr. Babcock has nothing to sell, When the only engineer west of Chi cago who is not controlled by the sigantic telephone monopoly comes here to testify with a free and open mind, he is accused of being an in famous character and crook. The commissioners then took a brief recess, after which it was ruled that they would go to Portland as re quested and view the equipment the telephone company in operation N. Wlgdon, accountant for the tele phone company, was recalled to the witness stand by City Attorney Mott of Astoria and asked regarding the taxes paid by the corporation in that city. A request by E.
