The loiter telling the corporation
rniiiinlssion that the Oklahoma ' >
t'hainhcr of Commerce would take
no |iart ill the phone rate hearing,
was slum IV to be au orphan 'i'ues-
day.
Though written on Chamber of
Commerce stationery and algned
with the name of "Charles h. Hall,
manager,n Hall declared Tuesday
that he never wrote It.
Notification from the board oi the
hearing Monday has been received
by the Chamber, he said, but lie
added, the organization has not
authorized a letter in reply or taken
any action.
Such matter, he said would
through the regular channel, be re-
ferred to II. (<. Hatfield, chairman ot
the civic committee.
Chairman Hatfield, at his place of
business, the Oklahoma < offee
company, stated today that the civic
committee of the Chamber of Com-
merce had not written the corpora-
tion commission at all. At the in-
stance of G. J. Casselberry, local
manager of the telephone company,
the civic committee held a meeting
the past week, Chairman Hatfield
said. Casselberry appeared before
the committee for the purpose, as he
stated, of obtaining the good will of
the civic bodies of the city.
He made representations, ac-
cording to Hatfield, that the
company's return on investment
was very low, probably under
one per cent. Questioned as to
the revenues from the long dis-
tance eiiJ of the business, It was
admitted that only twenty-the
per cent of long distance tolls
were allotted to Oklahoma < Ity,
and Hatfield's impression is
that the long distance business
is yielding the company seven-
teen or eighteen per cent.
The civic committee of which Hat-
field Is chairman, was not willing to
go on record, as to the service hear-
ing, the chairman said today, nor
did it yritc any letter to the com-
mission. Personally, the chairman
added, he would be willing to pay if
he could get good service, but he
believes the present rate high
enough.
Furthermore, said the civic com- ,
mittee chairman. Inasmuch as we j
were requested to hear the telephone i
company's side we. feel at liberty to I
be at the hearing and take active j
part. . , |
A questionnaire sent to the Okla-
homa City Chamber of Commerce j
has been answered by that body
with the same mysterious signature
that is attached to the non-partici-
pating letter. The only apparent
difference in the two signatures is
that the questionnaire was signed
with pencil and the letter with a
pen.
' According to the questionnaire
answers, the service has been "fair"
and "somewhat improved."
Letters of complaint against tele-
phone service are being received by
the corporation commission in in-
creasing numbers daily. Some of the
letters are in response to notices
sent out to chambers of commerce,
mayors, and other public officials of
the five cities for .which a raise In
rates has been asked, and many are
volunteer letters of protest prompt-
ed by the application of the South-
f western Bell Telephone company for
increases.
The letters sent out to officials
and commercial bodies of the five
cities concerned in the proposed
raise asked that information be sup-
► plied regarding the quality of serv-
ice before the raise application be
acted on.
A letter typical of those coming to
the corporation commission was re-
ceived Tuesday from D. H. Denman,

Officials Say 50 Percent Can
Be Made Without Loss to
Dealers.
Hy United Press. f
WASHINGTON. Sept. 28.—Prices
of building materials now going
down side by side with food and
clothing prices, can weather a 50
percent clash without touching bot-
tom, reports to the labor department
showed today.
A 50 percent reduction would leave
dealers in building materials 178 per-
cent ahead of the game as they
played it in pre-war days, the depart-
ment's records indicated.
Ci\ts in building material prices
will go far toward solving the en-
tire problem of living costs, officials
said today.
Reductions that are permanent
will bring a rush of construction
: work early in the spring, relieving
i the house shortage. The country now
is 5,000,000 buildings short of normal,
according to officials of the United
States housing corporation.
An increase in construction work
means lower rents. To the. average
farmer this means more money for
food, clothing and recreation, cash
which goes directly into the pockets
of merchants. To the merchants in-
creased construction also means low-
er operation costs.

CHICAGO, Sept. 28.—Eight mem-
bers of the White Sox baseball club
during the 1919 world series with
the Cincinnati Reds, were indicted
by the Cook county grand Jury.
The indictments were voted after
Eddie Clcotte, "ace" of the White
Sox pitchers during the series, ap-
peared before the grand jury and
told all he knew of the alleged
throwing of the series.
A go-between is alleged to have
approached one of the W hite Sox
players offering $100,000 from a
gamblers' syndicate to throw the
games.
This White Sox player approached
those whom he could trust with the
proposed deal. Several are alleged
to have agreed to the proposition.
The money was to have been paid
into the hands of the players pre-
vious to the first game.
"Piker" Behind Deal.
The go-between led the Whitg Sox
players to believe that a big eastern
gambler was behind the deal. In re-
ality, a "piker" who did not have
$100,000 to pay over, backed the
deal. Clcotte was taken secretly
before the grand jury and it took
him an hour to tell what he knew.
Immediately after he had given the
jury the Information which he pos-
sessed. announcement was made that
the indictments had been voted by
the foreman of the grand jury. Cl-

NEW YORK. Sept. 28.- TTle nation-
wide housing shortage will soon be
relieved through the present price
reductions in building materials, in
the opinion of Edward P. Doyle,
manager of the information bureau
of the real estate board of New
York.
Doyle forecast a boom in dwelling
house building immediately. The
| building program, he said, will be so
extensive the apartment congestion
I probably will be practically obviated
| within five months.
j According to Doyle. Increased
i building will tend to bring about
j lower rents under the economic law
! of supply and demand.
Another way the reduced cost of
! materials will affect the housing
! situation will be to make loans and
I mortgages more easily obtainable.
! Doyle said.
"Banking concerns have not been
inclined to loan the full vaiue on
' contemplated apartment houses for
' the reason that with a later fall in
the price or materials, the buildings
would represent much less value
than the actual investment.

ACTS LIKE A MONARCH
Noted Lawyer Says Wilson
Practice Like Revival of
Ancient British Kings.
HY PA UI, HANNA.
Federated Press Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—
Despite his illness and ap-
proaching automatic retire-
ment from office the movement
to impeach President Wilson
for his defiant violation of the
Jones Merchant Marine act
will be vigorously pressed un-
less the whips of the republican
party are able to stamp out the
enterprise.
In addition to the anger of
congress and the astonishment
of constitutional lawyers over
an act by the president un-
equalled in autocratic arro-
gance since the Romanoffs,
Ilapsburgs and Hohenzollerns,
several members of thfe su-
preme court are said to ne
aroused by the danger that
they will be robbed of their
hitherto exclusive right to de-
clare acts of congress uncon-
stitutional.
Hannis Taylor, an authority on
constitutional and International law
known throughout the world, de-
scribes the president's step as a "re-
vival of the British crown s ancient
practice of dispensation."
"By that practice the old world
autocrats would suspend the opera-
tion of any law of the realm in be-
half of persons they might wish to
favor. It is agreed here that British
shipping interests Btaud to benefit al-
most exclusively from what the1
president has done in refusing by
proclamation to annul treaties with
foreign countries which are in con-
flict with provisions of the shipping
law. Nobody questions the presi-
dent's absolute right under the con-
stitution to veto any act of congress,
for any reason or for no reason
whatever. And nobody disputes that
clause In the constitution cited by
the president, which makes a treaty
superior to any law passed by con-
gress," Taylor says.
"Having failed to veto the Jones
law, having indeed given it his in-
dorsement and thus made it a law,
president-Wilson has no more right
to dispense with that law than he
has to annul any other law." other
lawyers contend, "and the supreme
court must repudiate his act or else
open the door to the regular abroga-
tion of any law which any president
may torture into an alleged viola-
tion of same treaty."
The sinister rumor Is afloat in
Washington that President Wilson is
not aware of this and other revolu-
tionary acts being performed by a
clique of cabinet officers who use
his name and his illness to cloak
their undermining of American inull-
tutions. Whether this be true or not
the report adds to the bitterness of
those who declare impeachment pro-
ceedings must be inaugurated to
