"The minimum , rate at which' this product can be sold depends on the capital invested necessary for its pro duction," continued Mr. Josselyn. "If the capital investment is greater than It should be, it necessarily means more Interest on that Investment to .be paid by the public before the low rate can be granted.

"These same people have been re fused franchises by the California state railway commission In all cases where an Old company was giving adequate service, and I believe If the granting of this proposed franchise is delayed until our state publlo utility commis sion can have apportunlty to Investi gate this case Its members will lie bound to taJte action similar to that taken by like commissions In many other states and determine that compe tition in public utilities Is not the means through which the bulk of the public can best be served. dees Ho Weed for EuU. "I sincerely hope thaUour city coun cil in handling the proposed franchise of the Northwestern Electric company will be governed by and not fly Into the face of. the decisions of the various state public utility commissions.

Mr. Josstlyn says the California state railway commission In rendering a de cision Tuesday granting the applica tion of the Northern California Power company for permission to raise Its rates in consequence of being forced to buy Out the Sacramento Valley Pow er company, a competing concern, held "that the patrons of utilities short sightedly made competition possible to secure a temporary advantage which always results In a permanent disadvantage." .

The defense .has Indicated that It Is willing to base much of its hope of success on this attempt to prove that no 'motive for bribery exists. To this end all Its efforts have had the object of impeaching the testimony of Bert H. Franklin, 6tar state witness, and con fessed hrlbe giver, and establishing as a fact that an agreement whereby the McNaniaraS were to plead guilty was effected before Franklin passed the bribe money. Marty prominent business men of Los Angeles probably will be called to the witness stand next week. These will include men whom Lincoln Steffens, magazine writer, Interviewed while try ing to arrange for the McNamara's confession.

The police pursued Schaffer and thought they had him cornered on Le high mountain, near this , city, but he managed to escape. They notified the farmers of the countryside that he was wanted. Late this afternoon John Muth, a farmer, whose place is three mtlea Hotrtlrof tht?TTrtty, saw a man n swerlng the description of the murder er sitting under a tree by the roadside. He started toward hlni, but the man pointed a revolver at him, and Muth fled. A minute later Muth heard a shot and turning saw that Schaffer had sent a bullet through his own head. He was dead when Muth reached him. Schaffer and Free had been rivals for the af f ectlons , of the young woman. Last winter the actor returned sudden ly from the road and met "Free with the woman. They quareled and engaged in a fist fight, in which Free was badly beaten by the actor. Both men were arrested and the woman created a scene In court by denouncing Schaffer.

C, July 20 A very unusual poker' hand was played a few nights ago In what is known as the "Senators' poker game." The sena tors' poker game is composed of six or seven senators, who gather twice a week at one of the players' homes and "sit in." In the last sitting there was one hand that caused as much discussion and speculation as all the tariff bills put together and the Panama canal bill thrown In. Here Is what happened: Senator A. opened a Jackpot for $3.75. Senator B., who was sitting on his left, took a squint at his hand and found a nine-high straight. U, slipped a glance at those behind him and thought he saw evidence of easy money anil Just "stayed." Three others trailed along. Senator X., who was dealing, asked how many cards were required. Senator A., the opener, said he was satisfied with what he had. This started B. to thinking, lie figured that a nine-high straight was pretty weak against the other pat hand. He noticed that all of his cards were spades except the seven. That was a heart. He decided quickly. He tossed away the heart, hoping to make a flush or a straight flush. Senator A. bet 112.60. Senator B. stepped down and looked again. In his hand there nestled a stranger. - It was the seven of clubs, making his hand exactly of the same value as It had been originally. "I've just got to call," he said. Senator A. had a seven-high straight Senator B. won the money. PROTESTING TRAVELER IS TAKEN,BACKJOJVjFE (RptcUl to The JonrnM.l Oregon City, Or., July 20. Ed J.
