BAL SCANDAL Ex-Pitcher Gives Inside Details of Conspiracy in Which "1919 Series Was Thrown for Large Sums Furnished by Gamblers, CONTRACT By Carl Victor Little Chicago. July 20. (U. P.) "Bill" Burns, former big league pitcher, testi fied today how gamblers tried to double cross players from whom they had bought the 1919 world series. Burns, confessed baseball renegade, resumed the stand as state's evidence in tile case against seven former mem bers of the White Sox-charged with con spiring to throw the 1919 world series. "Before the third game I went to Abe Attell." said Burns. "I asked him for the $20,000 he agreed to pay for the first game. "He said 110,000 was enough and that no more could be paid by Arnold Roth stein, a New York gambler, as he had 1300,000 out in bets. "Attell took me to a room where there were several gamblers. He lifted up a mattress and I took $10,000 which was underneath UK DEB HEAVY GUARD I was told Rothstem kept a wire open all of the time between New York and Cincinnati during the negotiations and also during the game to Keep in formed on how things were going." The defense attorneys objected con tinuously as Burns told his story in a matter-of-fact .-ay. The state's st witness, who admitted he was the "go-between," and who turned state's evidence, was led' into court by the armed guard of deputy sheriffs, which is constantly with him The detail stays with Burns at night in his hiding place. Burns chewed his chewing gum fierce ly as he. further unfolded the tale that rocked the sport w. 'd. Fans leaned forward ' In their seats to catch every word that was being said about the men they once worshipped. They heard the allegation that Eddie Cicotte ran around New York with a "for sale" tag on the world series and Low gamblers made the purcha e for $100,000.

The dog fight, for such the hearing in which the public is contending against the Pacific States Telephone company before the public service commission for a reduction in rates seem to be tending, got under way late this morning, delayed by the sud den decision of the commission to hear complaints of the Salem people while waiting for Edward M. Cousin to go to Portland and return. It is becoming more and more appar ent that the hearing is to be a bitter one, with high-powered dispositions sit ting across the counsel table ready to go off at any moment, while the members of the commission, especially Chairman Williams, sit ready to cast aside their quasi-judicial dignity like they would doff their coats at a moment s notice to plunge into the fray, not as judges and arbiters between the contending factors of the Quarrels, but as parties to it. and so far. on the company's side of the battlefield.

A party of Port land capitalists, hotel men and others arrived here this morning over the high way and after being joined by a num ber of local men left for the Mt. Hood region, where they will spend two days looking over various sites for a hotel which is now projected. The main object of the , party is to start a movement such aa was started in Seattle some years ago and which has resulted in the development of Mount Rainier as a great tourist resort, with much benefit to the Sound city. Those in the party express the belief that with the loop road now finally de cided upon, it will be easy to interest capitalists in a program of building a great resort on the slopes of ML Hood and to make provision for an all-season hotel with especial facilities for winter sports. Those in the party were: Eric Hauser of the Multnomah hotel, J. H. and G Joyce of the Portland hotel, G. H. Bes- sell, L. R. Wheeler, T.

Governor Hart has broken the long silence he has maintained in the face of bitter criticism of his acts of gubernatorial adminis tration. It was further announced from his office that a detailed answer would be forthcoming for publication next Sunday As principal speaker at the dedication of the new paving which has just been completed to connect Tenlno with the capital of the state, the governor took the opportunity to reply vigorously to charges of maladministration, alleged inefficiency, and misappropriation of funds. "Certain elements in the state have seen fit to attack me and the present administration for many of the acts of commission and omission which we and I particularly, have seen fit to per form," said the governor. POINTS TO SEW ADVANTAGES "In particular I have been criticised for the "high cost' of government. I have only to remind you of the benefits which this so-called 'expensive' govern ment has conferred upon the state We have advantages today that our fore fathers never enjoyed, never thought to enjoy. "I would like to remind you that these Improvements cost money, and they are worth every cent the state has seen fit to spend for them. They were evolved with the knowledge of every voter in the state. The people authorised them, and I believe the people today are not sorry that they did so. "This road which has just been fin ished ; do you know what it cost? The price wse $470,000. Do you want your money back? Don't you believe you're going to get a dollar, and more, back In convenience and economy and saving of time, for every dollar that you put into it? Isn't It worth while? GOOD GOVERNMENT COSTLY "Is improvement in government any different from improvement in high ways? Don't they both show spirited forward movement In the life of the country end of the state? Can we de mand improvement in one thing and not In another, be satisfied with the money we have spent for one sort of . progress and want it back for the other sort, especially when In both cases the ex periment has not had the opportunity to amply .ujrtjjtr.it self ? "We cannot have one standard for one thing mad another for another. It is progress, ultimate success in everything, that is what every public-spirited man is seeking. The functions of government are expensive, some more than others, just as one sort of highway is more ex pensive than another sort. But are we satisfied with the poorer sort Just be cause it is cheaper? Tou have the answer In this highway. Tou should make the same answer in this govern ment. RECOCNTS MODERN MOTES "If we have good government, we must pay for it; if we have good schools and facilities for transporting children to and from the same, we must pay for them ; If we have primaries, end they cost the state a quarter of a million every second year, we must pay for them or abolish them. If we enjoy any of the other functions of good govern ment we must pay for them. "Prohibition has cut off a huge rev enue. It has been an expensive proposi tion, a costly bit of progress. Do you want to go back to the saloon? Aren't vou nroud of what you've done, even thouch It's cost you something? "Tne administrative code one of the most progressive forms of government a common wealth can enjoy, la. I believe the target many of these critics are aim ing at. And yet that code is saving the people of this state money right along. "At the outset It saved $010,000 in budget. My blue pencil saved the state $1,110,000 more. "And that isn't all. By the close of the first blennium that code wlU be the means of wiping out tne aeucu ot $2,000,000.

A vigilance committee composed of about 150 men carried out the deporta tion, which apparently had been tematically planned in advance. The Japanese workers had been pick ing melons for 10 cents lees per crate than the scale demanded by the white workers, nearly all of whom belong to rhe Fruit Pickers union. At midnight last night the vigilantes gathered, and with auto trucks pro ceeded to three Japanese boarding houses In this city. About OS workers were aroused, told to pack their effects and prepare to move. Some of tjhe Japanese demurred, but apparently sensing the seriousness of the situation. packed their belongings and were taken to Keyes, six miles north of here, and warned not to return. The vigilantes then proceeded to groups to various farm camps in the vicinity, and at each point aroused the Japanese workers end bundled them into auto trucks. Japanese who worked their own land. or had land leasee, were not disturbed. nesses From Brumfield's Dis trict Say Body Is His., Thoss From Russell's That It Is His. By Bert Bates Roseburg. July 20.
