new EVIDENCE in
BASEBALL SCANDAL
Alleged Gambling Ring Had Planned to
Fix" Another Series Between
Cincinnati and Chicago.
by Associated Press.)

Chicago, Oct. 19.-The special grand
jury investigating the baseball scandal
today received evidence indicating that
a gambling ring had plSnned to FIX"
another world series in addition to the
1919 one between Cincinnati and Chica-
go, but that the plans We're never car
ried out according to Hartly Replogle,
assistant states attorney. Replogle
refused to say what world series it
was.
The jury today heard further evil
dence concerning the activities Of Hal
Chase while in the major leagues,
delved into the baseball pools conduct
ed in Chicago. and also interested itself
in the proposed reorganization Of base
ball as outlined at the meeting yester-
day.
Ban Johnson, American league presi-
don't, and John Heydler, National league
head, were the chief witnesses.
Johnson was said to have presented
new evidence concerning gambling

one hour when the court was notified
that verdict had been reached.
Yesterday. the second day of the
trial, more spectators crowded into
the court room than at any trial for
some time. A large number of wit

of them were not used in the case.
Negro witnesses, who are serving time

Cooley was shot on Romano street,
one block from Palafox, last Deem

sum of money home with him when
he closed his restaurant at night, and

his confession, for money, and the
Austrian for revenge. Martin was a
mounted policeman at the time and
was in the station when the report
of the shooting came in. He was
sent to the scene for investigation.
Martin was arrested for investiga-
ton on charges OF graft a few days
later. Believing that he was arrested

shooting. stating that he held Cooley
while Eraine fired the fatal shot.
Eraine, who had been arrested on sus-
picion and released, was re-arrested
and indicted by the grand jury.
The verdict came as a surprise to
many people last night as Martin was
thought to be innocent by many. The
case took a peculiar turn when the
negroes insisted that they were the
ones who killed Cooley and that Mar
tin was not telling the truth. This
belief gained in strength when Mar
tin denied his confession several
weeks later, stating that he had been
under the influence of dope when he
made the statment.

prosecution yesterday were Joe John

the arrest of Martin on this charge,

the Rotary Club heard an address by
Charles A. Peple, deputy governor of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
ment by Governor Seay. answering
criticisms that have been made of the
reserve boards policy. He declared
that there has been an almost reck-
less expansion in credit during recent
months, and that the volume of both

continually increased.

(eY GEORGE MANNINo.)

washington, d. c., Oct. 19.-Dr. p.
P. Claxton, commissioner of education,
announced today that citizens con-
ference on negro education will be held
at Atlanta, in the senate chamber of
the State Capitol, on November 10 and
20.
The commissioner has sent invita-
tons to the governors mad state SUI
perintendents of public instruction OF
al the southern states, to the presi-
Gents Of white and negro Industrial
schools. colleges and universities, to
influential business men and publ
cists TO be present at the conference.
The leading men and women of the
south who have shown an interest in

American negroes have also been asked
70 be present.
DIR. Claxton declares that the south

ference on negro education will be de-
voted to a discussion of the work,
conditions and needs of colleges of

groes in the south.
One session will be devoted to a con-

There is a great need at this time"

people understand that 1t is important
for men, women and children to make
the country home the right kind of a
place in which to live, to master the
sound principles of farming, and to do
everything with more intelligent un-
derstanding''

Mr.. .......-......''. '.s''t
New Orleans. La.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of October 18th asks
a very natural question, and one
which demands a full and frank
reply, which am glad TO make.
While the prices of a great many
things have, apparently, been re-
duced, these reductions in prices do
not apply to articles used by the
telephone company, or affect the
expenditures necessary in the con-
struction, maintenance and opera
ton of the telephone plant.
The following classes of expenses
constitute more than ninety-five
per cent of the cost of furnishing
telephone service:
Labor.
More than fifty-five per cent of
the total expenditures of the Com
pany in rendering service are for
wages and salaries; less than one
tenth of one per cent of this being
for executive and general salaries.
The wages paid to our employees
can not, and should not, be reduced.
On the contrary they must be in
creased, in many cases, to bring our
wage scale on az level with wages
paid by unregulated business, so
that we may retain our skilled en-
ployees necessary to give you eff
cient service.
Material and Apparatus.
Many items of material and APP
paratus are involved in the current
maintenance of the property, en-
tirely apart from the enormous
quantities involved in the construc-
ton of new property, and this rep
resents a large item of expense.
There has been no reduction, nor
any indication of reduction, in the
price of these essential articles. in
practically all of which the labor,
freight and hauling cost is by lar
the largest proportion of the total
cost
We know that the manufacturers
OF telephone equipment and mat-
rial nave orders booked for two
years in advance, with a constantly
increasing demand, and which in
turn makes a reduction in price in
the near future most imp obable.
Freight and Passenger Costs,
Our annual expense for the trans
portation of freight and passengers
is more than one million dollars.
No one expects the railroads to re-
duce their charges under the level
of costs in rendering their service.
Rent.
Except in the larger cent ers our
central offices and stocks of ma
teriaI are housed in rentei build
ings, and even in The larger cen
tiers we rent varying amounts OF
properties.
Like every one else, our rents
have been greatly increased, with
no prospect of any reduction. Even
in pre-war days all leases for prop
erty occupied by US were renewed
only at higher charges than for the
previous rental period.
Hotels.
The board and lodging bill for
our men, who must travel in con-
nection with the operation and
maintenance Of the property, costs
many thousands Of dollars every
year, and we can see no prospect
