Now the rush is over, the printer has more time for your work each and every detail of the job gets the proper attention, and the satisfaction shared is mutual. But there is no satisfaction to share if your printer is a printer in name only. He must V be there with. the goods' r and also deliver said goods.

Kxtrtemely reluctant to toueh upon family affairB to clear him pelf of the charges. Major Camp bell deiclared that It had been his purpose to ask time that he might be able to corroborate fully every word qf his testimony. It was for this reason, hecsaid, that he did not want to disclose oil of his evi dence until he had, been allowed time to submit proof in denial of thei-accural ions. ; Injustice Charged. The! major asserted that a "frightful" Injustice had been done him by the committee in permitting Mrs. Bergdoll and a representative of .the brokers to testify -when he was not present. Hj protested vigsrously that an agent of' the army intelligence service, in inspecting his bank account at New York had not shown that at a prior date ho had more than 5.000'on deposit. A telegram, he paid, had been I sent! the bank, requesting that it verrfy his statement to this ef fectj'and to send its answer in care of Chairman. Peters. At various times Major Camp bell declared he and his wife had $17000 on deposit, not counting From Russia the sum lost on the market, ?ut lie declined to mention the names ol' banks until he could get hold of his papers, enioute with, his household effects from Governors Island to Little Rock, Ark:. CumpbHl Shows Anger There were moments when Ma jor Campbell was unable to con trol his feelings when referring to his wife and hl-s oi! father, and he bangeA the table in anger as he denounced what he said was the attempt of the Bergdolls to black en his name. As military counsel for the slacker he never received a dollar, he declared. The only thing they ever gave him, he said, were three little cambric hand kerchiefs, bought at a soldiers' fair on the island, as trinkets for, his babies. Livestock Conditions Improving, Says Lytle Although the freight rates on livestock are not excessive when judged from a strictly transpor tation standpoint, they should be reduced to assist in tiding ths livestock industry over it9 pres ent period of adversity and to has ten a return to normal conditions and business prosperity, according to a report filed with the inter state commerce commission on hte day prior to the bearing with re lation to a decrease in rates sought by the livestock interests of the country. "We think the carriers." con tinued ths report, "in the public interest, guided by. the economic necessity of balancing costs and prices as a condition precedent to ai sound business basis, should favorably considA- the matter of eliminating, for ths most part, temporarily at least and especial ly for the longer hauls, the in creases in livestock rates, "A reduction in rates on. traf fic in general seems unwarranted at this time and in our view no adequately compensating benefit would be "thus achieved. However, the rates on certain commodities are stifling industry, and should be reduced. Rates should be made to meet economic require ments. If the carriers cannot 11 on rates that will permit industry to thrive, special measures may have to be adopted to maintain and preserve the efficiency of our transportation system." A copy of the attorney-examiner's report "was . received at the offices of the Oregon public ser vice commission yesterday. The hearing was held in Washington, with representatives of the Hve" stock shippers, railroads and var ious public ecrvice commissions In attendance.

IS SECOND Little Progress in Trial Made Though Testimony Of fered by Many CHICAGO; -liUy 22. Original copks of the crand jury lonfes fcion.s in which Kdcl: Ciootje. Joe Ja-kMn and Cla-uu.?

The announcement came as a dramatic sensation near the end of today's session of court when the state placed Hartley Uaplogle, former assistant state's attorney, who directed the first grand jury investiai ion of the baseball scan dal, on the stand and revealed that it would have to depend on carbon copies of the confessions and on the testimony of tyen who heard them and who are said to have seen the immunity waivers signed. The defense plans to contend that the confessions were made involuntarily. Judge to loride. Judge Huso Friend "sent the jupy from the court room and will hear all of th evidence in VJie matter before deciding if it M admissible. If he decides it is, it will have to be repeated before the jury. Indications are that Williams, Ci fotte and Jackson will take the btand during this private hearing la testify that their confessions wore not nuule voluntarily. Rep lole, Judgo Charles A MrKon ahl and rund jurors will be the state's witnesses. This is the second loss of pa pery in the ba&eball case, copies cf the jrand. jury testimony hav ing huen made and offered for sale in Chicago some time ago. Witnt-HM-N Called. Previous to beginning the fight over the confessions the state in troduced testimony naming Carl 34ork of St. Louis, new on trial, as an Instigator of the alleged sell-out, and l!on and Louis Levi of Kokomo, Ind., as bet placers for Aba At tell during the series. Harry Redmond of East St. Louis. 111., testified that Zork, during a conversation with him the day after the fourth game of the series in which the alleged game-throwing was discussed, said: . "And I, the little red head from St. Louis, started the whole thing." . Zork's attorneys promptly an nounced they would prove an alibi for Zork, saying that he left.for St. Louis at 9:20 p. m. that day, whereas Redmond said the con versation lasted from about 8 to 11 i. m. Redmond, who was vig orously cross-examined by the de fensc. called Attorney Henry Merger a. liar when Berger de clared he was a book maker John Soys, Ciiicaso National loagne flub secretary, testified to holding stakes on bets made by Attell and the two Levis; and that Attell warned him hot to bet on Cincinnati in the third game, as Chicago would win it. Seys' relations with the defend ants was said to be accidental in that Abe merely chanced to be present when bets were made and was asked to hold stakes. Replogle testified that the con fessions were made voluntarily; that he saw the immunity waivers signed, and that no one, to his knowledge, promised immunity to any of the men.

In a statement discussing the U.ss of the confessions. Mr. Gor man said: Gamblers Raise Fund. "We have information that a fund was raised by eastern gamb lers to obtain these and other pa pers. It is reported that $10,- 000 was paid for the grand Jury testimony, which was copied dur ing a previous administration. I do not think this has weakened ur case in any way, for the grand jurors can testify and Judge Mac Donald and Replogle can testify. 1 am confident that this testi mony, now being heard privately before Judge Friend, finally will be admitted as competent (evi dence before the jury. We are not accusing anyone of stealing these papers, but I presume it would be advisable to look for them in the quarters where their loss would do the most good."
