JOHNSON TALKS
ON SCHEDULE
Says He Docs Not Object to Any
Minor Changes in Schedule
of National League.

CHICAGO. Feb, 1e.--"The american
League Will not object TO any minor
changes that the National League may
make IN Its 1b{-KaIne Ecneuufos rnsff
President u. b. Johnson, of the Amer.
lean League. The agreement reacnea
BY the joint schedule committee OF tne
two leagues at the Pittsburg meeting
is binding on both schedules, nut we
viii waive that fight to some extent
II wish TO repeat that the two mar
ruonious schedules decided upon by
the committee are the best that TING
two leagues have mad since they rave
been working together on the dates.
II the National League makes any
changes that are -At+t- saee~pte sfs to tss+s
American League ana persists in keep
ing them then we will consider our
agreement at nm end. We are not
looking for trouble, and that rests ca
ttrely with the other league.
Sometime ago / advanced the plan
of having the two schedules drawn up
by the presidents Of the two circuits
with the third member Of the NATIONAL
Commission acting as an arbitrator.
The schedule adopted in this manner
should be binding on both leagues and
thus all the trouble that the National
League had this year could have been
avoided easilyf 4 p
IF the National League wishes to
change tire teams rfTHr tnry would
have In Chicago in opposition to the
American League club we will make no
objections. If the schedule accepted
by the committees at Pittsburg Is not
adhered to 1t will be breach OF
faith"

CITIZENS MAY VOTE ON
FORM OF GOVERNMENT

The people OF Virginia may change
the form of government of the vari-
Gus cities from the mayoralty system
to the commission policy IL they so
desire.
In joint session Friday afternoon
the House and Senate committees on
general laws agree to favorably re-
port the joint resolution providing
for submitting to vote Of the people
whether the citizens wished to con-
tinue their system headed by "A mayor
or adopt the commission administra-
ton. Nc amendments were made to
the resolution. There seems every
probability that II will pass both
houses The matter OF change or no
change is left with the people.
Eenator Thornton asked the general
laws committee Of the Senate to make
1T felony to steal Journals" from
locomotives. as the removal of these
guards frequently caused wrecks and
heavy loss of life. Delegate Taliaferro
urged favorable report of his bill,
which would give liverymen redress
when their horses were driven to
death by persons who hired them.
The committee on courts of justice
OF the Senate heard more argument
on the bill providing for the sterili-
zation of criminals and insane per-
sons, so as to guard against pro-
creation Of degenerates Drs. Drury
and Darlington appeared to argue for
the passage of the bill.
A number of merchants and Attor-
ney Dickinson appeared before the
committee to ask that the bill pro-
yiding thai verbal notice to q railroad
company regarding damage to freight
be sufficient to base suit for damage
on be favorably reported.
