Special Sewlon Today.
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

plain on the basis of service val
ue. "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.

Campbell and Campbell-Hill ho
tels. aid that at the former hos
telry the monthly telephone bill
had jumped from ITs..h5 to
$141'. t;5. an increase ot so ft per

Relative to the company's claim
that it hid long beep operating
on a ncn-paini: basis. he re
called that in rlt the Pacific
combany had .solicited business.
"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.
Laborers in Porto Rico

SAN JUAN. PR.. June 25
Plans for recruiting laborers here
