Mr. Prindville expects to finish his argument In a special session of court tomorrow. The defend pleas wil take up Monday and possibly part of Tuesday with George Gorman closing for the Ktate latjffTuesday. The case is expected to be in the jury's hind late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Mr. Prindville directed . hir: words mainly against Edie C:cotto. Chick Gandil, Joe Jackson. Ciaudf Williams and David Zelcer, the later identified by two state's witnesses as a man who under the name of Bennett helped to organ ize the alleged conspiracy for the throwing of the 1919 world series. Cicotte Fvcoriated. After outlining the details of tho alleged conspiracy as related by Hill Burns, admitted accom plice who turned state's evidence. Mr. Prindville called the jury's attention to the similarity of Burns' story and the confession of Eddie Cicotte. He was partic ularly bitter in speaking of Ci cotte. "This man. by his own confes sion,, sat' in his room at the War ner hotel here and arranged to receive $10,000 for the dirty work he planned," said Mr. Prindiville. "Then. Judas-like, he went down sta'rs to hob-nob with his innocent teammates and. In his own words, to allay the suspicions of the men he had just betrayed. Treachery Ifc'pltrtMMl. "He said he'd throw the ball over the fence If necesary to lose the first game. And what hap pened in the first game? Cicotte the American league's greatest pitcher, hurling with a heavy heart by his own con reunion and a pocket made heavy by $10,000 in graft, was beaten 9 to 1. ' "No wonder he lost. The poc ket loaded with the filth for which he sold his soul and his friends was too much. it overbalanced him and he lost." Mr. Prindiville' declared the evidence proved Chick Gandil one of the conspiracy leaders and that Williams and Jackson stood con victed by the'r own con regions. Attorney Attack Keller "Williams and Jackson have ad mitted their guilt." he said. ' What can you gentlemen do but go the limit in punishing them?" "And this man Zelcer," he shouted. "He has tried to prove an alibi, to prove that he Ib not the man Bennett who helped Abe Attell run this deal. ".Yet we prove that Abe Attell had thousands of dollars under the mattress in his room at the Cincinnati hotel; and that he tok $10,000 of this money against Bennett's wishes and gave it tb Burns for the players and Burns gave it to Williams and Jackson.

"But that doesn't account for a jump of more than 114 per cent from February to March," replied Cornell. No Cause for Happiness. "Don't think for a minute," Shaw said, "that I am trying to make you say you are happy about this increase, for I am not." "It can't be done," Cornell said. The telephone attorney con tinued an explanation of the rate, causing Attorney McXary of the hotel men to ask if he were re viewing something that had gone into the records or whether he was making observations, of his own. Distance Tolls Heavy. The second witness was A. H. Meyers, manager of the Oregon hotel. His monthly telephone bill was exhibited, showing an increase from $173.45 a month prior to the new 'rates ot last March to $330.25 after the new rates became effective. The Ore gon hotel has 212 stations and 10 trunk lines. In reply to a question by At torney McNary,Mr. Meyers said that in 1920 the Oregon hotel had collected in long distance tolls for the telephone company $3220. of which the hotel was allowed to retain 15 per cent in commissions. Asked if this were net, he said It was not, for the reason that all losses caused by batrons leaving without payinjr their telephone bills must be made bood by the hotel. Small Earnings Claimed. On cross-examination Mr. Mey ers said that In the last three or four years hotel rtaes have been Increased only about 25 percent, and that he would be satisfied with a 6 per cent return on tho business. "I Infer that you are not mak ing that," suggested Shaw. "'The last 10 years straight through, no," replied Meyers. "What are you making?" 'I don't care to say." Dining room prices. Mr. Meyers said, fluctuate with market con ditions, and he declared the Ore ron' hotel dining room has not earned a nickel since 1916, but rather has lost. Rosrvo Set Asidts "Did the Coming of prohibition make a change?' asked Shaw. "It did." Mr. Meyers said that he Bets aside 10 per cent as a reserve depreciation fund. Commissioner Williams wanted to know if the telephone service In the hotel would take care of itself financially. Mr. Mey era re plied that tt would not, bat that there is a deficit every month, which he believed true of hotels in general. Asked by Commissioner Buch tel as to the effect of the increase from T to 1 rent for phone calls assessed on patrous by the ho lt i. Sir Mjers said this had made little difference beeu many cf the patrons go down stairs to talk to sze the extra nickel. Woman Called to Testify. Mrs. K. J.

"I do no', understand why busi ness would be solicited on a non paying basis." fehe said. Commissioner Williams asked her if she r-ceives a commission on lon distance calls. "I do not, and did not know that anyone else did until today," she answered. STvi-e Ifa'oomes Poorer. Glen I). Hite. manager of the Washington hotel, showed an in crease from $S6 to Sir.t.SS in his monthly telephone bill. Ser- ice. he said, is not quite as good as it was before the rates were incresned. Long distance tolls he said aggregate from $35 lao $4" a Miontn. b;if much of the 1 r per cent allowed the hotel in com mission is lost through unavoid able reasons. A line of testimony different from that introduced by the ho tl rnerj n the telephone rate re hearing Saturday will be submit ted by witnesses representing the hotel industry when the session convenes in Portland Monday. McXary Has More Witnesses, Lawrence McXary. attorney for the hotel men, asked indulgence of the commission to introduce rot more than three witnesses in Portland. One of these, he said, will be of Portland, and others will represent outside towns. The Salem end of the rehear ing was concluded Friday after noon with testimony offered by C Q. Van Duyne, manager of tlve Hotel Carlton, and E. S. Robe, manager of the Hotel Hoyt. The former said that his monthly tel ephone bill, with the increase in rates allowed h,v the commission, had jumped from $87.20 to $187 r,0. and the latter said his monthly bill had jumped from 180.25 to $172.25.

FOSTER-KLEISER TO Six-Million-Dollar Concern Buys Out Capital Post ing Company The Capital Posting company, a concern which a few years ago consisted mostly of prospects and a few cheap billboards, was bought this week by the Foster & Kleis er company, the outdoor publicity magnates of the Pacific Coast. The price paid is not announced, but it is known that representatives of the big firm have been in the market for the concern for some time, and the inference is that the terms were eminently satisfactory. F. L. Waters, who has been concentrating his efforts on the Capital Posting company since his retirement from the Salem the atrical field a number of years ago, will continue as local man ager. He will retain his orfice in Salem, and will have charge of approximately all the territory from Oregon C.ty to Cottage Grove. The change of ownership does not mean perhaps that buyers of outdoor advertising in this ter ritory will get better service than they have had heretofore, but it means that certain facilities for the promotion of publicity, which have not been within the scope of the local company, will now become a part of its system. The new owners are a $6,0i0,000 cor poration, with offices in all the principal cities of the copet. and the fact that they have invested in the Salem field and established themselves here is not without its significance.
