Three days of oral argument before the in terstate commerce commission on a case involving readjustment 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 1,000 Protestants in all parts of the country to be heard. Protests against the readjustment proposed by the carriers have been made by state commissions, shippers' organizations, chambers of commerce and cities in the Mississippi valley and gulf territory, as well as by shippers, manufacturers, packers and associations froaa 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 competition 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 differences by general lowering of the rates to intermediate points would reduce 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 manufacturers claim that a change in present rates will disturb adjustment of their rates to the middle west, which in many instances are based upon rates to the Missisippi valley.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

WHITE SOX PLAYERS, SICK OF DEAL, TRIED TO WIN, SAYS BURNS (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, July 20. The indicted Chicago White Sox players, after agreeing with a clique of gamblers to throw the 1919 world series to Cincinnati, for $100,000, became sick of the deal, when they were not paid the bribes 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 state's 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 Williams, and would not win for a busher. Dick Kerr, Burns said. Then feeling, they had been crossed by the gamblers they double crossed their bribers, by telling them they would lose the third game, but instead won it 3-0 with Kerr pitching. Sustains Objection. Attempts of the state to have Burns tell of a conversation with Eddie Cicotte, 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 state's 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 completed late today. Relied upon by the state as a pinchhitter, Burns yesterday seemed to measure up to the proscution's expectations. When court adjourned he had recited a story of numerous meetings between the players and alleged gamblers involved, testified that Eddie Cicotte said he would throw the first game if he had to throw the ball over the fence; asserted Claude Williams, White Sox southpaw, agreed to throw the second game of the series, and named Arnold Rothstein of New York, Abe Attell, former pugil ist; David Zelser of Des Moines, a de-j fendant; Billy Maharg of Philadelphia and himself as among the organizers of the alleged conspiracy. Testimony Broken Burns testimony, however, was broken repeatedly by arguments and objections of the defense attorneys, who succeeded in having much of his testimony barred. His testimony today relating to events during the actual games of the series was expected to cause many clashes between the opposing array of counsel. BEER, WINE RULES UP FOR ACTION SOON (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. July 20. Regulations covering the use of beer and wine for medical purposes will be signed within a few days, unless prohibitory action is taken by congress, Commissioner Blair announced today. The final draft of the regulations is on his "desk awaiting signature.. Action had been deferred for months, he said, upon assurance of senate leaders that congress would quickly determine its attitude toward medicinal beer, but with the postponing of prohibition legislation in the senate to facilitate passage of farm measures apparently further delay was in prospect. Unless definite assurances of congressional action could be received within a day or two, the commissioner said, it would be the duty of the bureau to promulgate the regulations.

HERRICK PROCLAIMS FAITH IN WAR IDEALS, SPEAKING AT RHEIMS

(By Associated Press) RHEIMS. France, July 20.- Myron T. Herrick, In his first public appearance in France since he presented his credentials as American ambassador, was greeted here yesterday with a reception that caused him real emotion. The occasion was the laying of the corner stone of a library, funds for erection of which were donated by the Carnegie foundation. All the 80.000 inhabitants who have returned to Rheims and who could crowd about the confined space where the corner stone was laid, accorded the ambassador an affectionate greeting, and there was an emotional huskiness in his voice when he concluded his 6hort address, which, while being delivered, was translated into French, his auditors cheering it roundly. Tribute to Heroic Dead "I take this occasion," said Mr. Herrick, in one part of his speech, "again to proclaim my unalterable faith in the lofty and practical idealism that inspired the men who baptized this soil with their blood that the cause of right and liberty might live." Mayor Roche, in greeting Mr. Herrick and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, the latter of whom tapped the stone into place, thanked the people of the United States for their generous welfare work in the region of Rheims, which he calculated amounted to about $800,000, not including the library, which will cost $200,000. The mayor announced that Mr. Butler would be presented with a medal, which is not yet ready for delivery, commemorating arrival of the Amer ican soldiers in France. He said the United States had made the first contribution toward reconstruction of Rheims, which had suffered damage to the amount of $160,000,000, figured on the perwar value, or $800,000,000," figured on the basis of the present value of the franc.
