START ARGUMENT ON
RAIL RATE CHANGE
SOUTH OF OHIO RIVER
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Three
days of oral argument before the in
terstate commerce commission on a
case involving readiustment of freight
rates south of the Ohio river, including
the Mississippi valley, was scheduled
to begin today, with representatives
of the railroads of that section and of
more than 1000 protestants in all
parts of the country to be heard. Pro-
tests against the readjustment pro-
posed by the carriers have been made
by state commissions, shippers organ
izations, chambers of commerce and
cities in the Mississippi valley and
gulf territory, as well as by shippers,
manufacturers, packers and associa-
lions from as far east of New England
and west to North Dakota.
The proposed readjustment resulted
from an order of the commission to
remove differences in rates in favor
of points situated on the Mississippi,
Ohio and Missouri rivers and the Gulf
of Mexico which enjoy depressed rates
on account of water competition. The
commission held that water competl-
ton should no longer constitute a
reason for these points having lower
rates than intermediate or interior
points.
Oppose Reduced Rates.
The carriers in their proposed re.
adjustments in most cases increased
the rates to the water points to Levels
in effect at interior points, on the
ground that a removal of the differ
ences by general lowering of the
rates to intermediate points would re
duce their revenues, although they
contend that in many instances the
latter rates are reduced.
Manufacturers and jobbers in Chi
cago, Milwaukee, and other northern
and middle western points claim that
removal of low rates to New Orleans
and other river and gulf points will
tend to throw their southern territory
business to eastern manufacturers and
jobbers, while New England manufac.
turers claim that a change in present
rates will disturb adjustment of theii
rates to the middle west, which in
many instances are based upon rates
TO the Mississippi valley.

WHITE S0x PLAYERS,
SICK OF DEAL, TRIED
To WIN, SAYS BURNS
fBy Associated Press,

CHICAGO, July 2o.-The indicted
Chicago White Sox players, after
agreeing with clique of gamblers to
throw the 1919 world series to Cincin-
natl, for 100000, became sick OF the
deal, when they were not paid the
brides promised and at a meeting be-
fore the third game, decided to play
their best and win the series. Bill
Burns, accomplice in the alleged deal,
and the states star witness, testified
today in the baseball trial.
Urged by the alleged fixers to win
the third game to improve the betting
odds, the players said they had lost for
two regular pitchers, Cicotte and Will
liams, and would not win for busher.

they had been crossed by the gamblers

telling them they would lose the third
game, but instead won it 80 with Kerr
pitching.
sustains Objection.
Attempts of the state to have Burns
tell of a conversation with Eddie CT
cote, in New York, where the state
claims the alleged conspiracy was
formed, failed when Judge Friend
sustained a defense objection.
Burns, who was indicted but was
promised immunity by the state If he
turned states evidence, was expected
to be on the stand all day, and it may
be Thursday noon before the defense
has finished its cross-examination.
His direct testimony may be com
pleted late today.
Relied upon by the state as a pinch
hitter, Burns yesterday seemed to
measure up to the Prosecutions ex-
pectations. When court adjourned he
had recited a story of numerous meet
ings between the players and alleged
gamblers involved, testified that Ed.
die Cicotte said he would throw the
| first game if he had to throw the ball
over the fence; asserted Claude viii.
liams, White Sox southpaw, agreed
to throw the second game of the Sc
ries, and named Arnold Rothstein OF

| PENDANT; Billy Maharg of Philadelphia
and himself as among the organizers
of the alleged conspiracy.
Testimony Broken
! Burns testimony, however, was
! broken repeatedly by arguments anC
objections of the defense attorneys
who succeeded in having much of hi:
! testimony barred. His testimony to
day relating to events during the &C
tual games of the series was expected
to cause many clashes between the
opposing array of counsel.
