WILLIAMS TRAIL
IS NOW FOLLOWED

Following trail Shiny as that of n
snake in the grass. the career of c. o.
Williams. superintendent OF the coun-
ty schools and would-be assassin of DR.
NJ. F. Johnston's reputation for integ-
rity and efficiency is being investigat-
ed, and he himself is on trial before
the bar OF public opinion today
The events of the last few days in
the school board fight have proved
conclusively that Williams has been
the ringleader in a campaign that
might have disrupted Richmond's
splendid public school system.
Sly Tales Circulated.
All sorts OF tales have been slyly put
in circulation. Councilmen have called
up members of the school board and
said, rs there any truth in the report
that there is lack of harmony among
your members? That Miss Hill and DR..
Johnston are on one side and Charley
Jordan on another" One and all of the
school board members denied the truth
OF such reports claiming that utmost
accord characterized the policy of the
board in all school matters.
Meantime Williams activity to start
an investigation along unfair and I'M
just lines about DR.. Johnston has re-
suited in an investigation being start
ed into his own conduct of office.
Not only has Williams claimed that
dissention existed between the mem
bers OF the school board and thus
sought to bring about disruption
through councilmanic action. but he
has also lobbied in other ways.
A Successful Lobbyist.
For instance in 1911 Williams sue
cessfully lobbied at the state legisla-
ture to have the help of a clerk in his
office and be permitted other expense
money. The law permitted the hiring
of a clerk for not longer than l2O days
each year. Williams retains a clerk all
the time.
During the session of the last legis-
lature Williams spent a great deal OF
time away from his duties here as
county superintendent of schools, lob
bying at Indianapolis. This time VIII
liams wanted a raise in salary and his
term of office extended two years. The

much applause. The appearance OF
Ben Greet was greeted with applause

BASEBALL STANDS
READY FOR PROBE
Ban johnson Says Congress
Can Go Just AS Far AS 1t
Desires to Go.
(National News Association

NEW YORK, June 17.-Ban John
son, president of the American league,
arrived here yesterday on a tour of in
spection and paid his first visit to the
Polo grounds since Frank Chances
New Yorks began playing there.
Asked about the talk of a congress
sional investigation of the so-called
baseball trust he said:
IF an investigation is intended we
are ready. In fact We have always been
ready, for we have nothing to conceal.
But personally don't believe congress
will take action. If the lawmakers
mean business, however, they ought to
begin now instead of talking so much.
The whole affair is so absurd that ev-
en- though l have Just come from
Washington l didn't take the trouble
to talk it over with any persons who
seemed to be interested.
FogeI Only Anxious One.
Horace Fogel appears to be the
only one eager to have baseball prob
ed. If he has any evidence we are not
aware of the fact.
What has the national commission
done about ball player authors ~ John
son was asked.
THE American League has sup
pressed them was the reply. And l
understand President Lynch of the Ma
tional has had some correspondence
with President Hampstead of the
Giants regarding the articles purport-
ing to be written and signed by Nc
Graw, Mathewson, Marquard and Mey-
ers.
IF these players are not prevented
from doing further newspaper work
you can say that the commission will
take a hand with new legislation.
That may not happen until late in the
year, however, but one thing is GER
tain, ball players who pose as report
ers will be barred from the press box
during the worlds series

JOHNSTON ELECTED
TO SCHOOL BOARD'
FAIR PLAY TR|UMPHS
Continued from Page One.)

ton OF two years ago, that not one pen
ny was charged back to the members
Of the board.
In preparing the figures Mr.. Will
liams has read he has failed TO take
into consideration the enforced in
crease in teachers remunerations and
the building expenses"
Reason For increases.
DR.. NJ. F, Johnston was again given
the floor. He said, These reports
about me have been circulated for va
rious reasons by three or four persons
who were disappointed because of
things which the school board did or
did not do. In speaking in the increase
in the school tax, Williams neglected
TO state that 16 per cent of the increase
in the school taxes resulted from the
building of the new high school. | do
not deny that we increased the salaries
of the teachers. They demanded il and
there was almost a strike at high
school over the question of salaries
Even the custodians of the schools de-
manded higher wages and we were
forced to meet with their demands"
John F. Robbins, attorney for the
board for many years, arose and de-
Tended DR.. Johnston. In the years
was connected with the board never
had any knowledge of any Irregular
ties on the part of any of the members
of the board, l differed with the mem.
bers in some ways on the management
of the school and the city superintend-
ent but the board always handled ev-
cry matter in the manner they thought
best for the schools and the citizens.
1t comes with bad grace for a coun-
ty superintendent to complain about
the expenditures of the board. Every
cent of money which comes to the
board is used where it will do the
most good.
Best Schools in State.
There are no better schools in the
state than ours and the management
has been in the hands of the persons
who are charged here with incompe-
tence and irregularities. Who told Mr..
Williams the things which he is insin-
uating tonight and what was told him?
The council should demand that this
be made public"
Chairman Oscar Williams of the
school committee then asked that the
election be deferred one week until
investigations could be made by this
did not meet with the favor of the
council who demanded an election. At
ter the balloting, on the motion of
Chairman Williams, DR.. Johnstons ell
ection was made unanimous.
SeideI Is Pleased.
Councilman Kaufman was confined
to his home by illness but he had
agreed to go to the council chamber
if necessary and cast his vote for
Johnston.
George Seidel stated this morning
that he was glad council had reelected
DR.. Johnston. He said that he did not
want the position as trustee of the
schools but the school committee had
insisted so strongly that he consented
to have his name used. He said that
he had taken no hand in the fight and
that he had not spoken to a council
man on the subject.

SPORTING NOTES
(National News Association

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE latest
plans for the world tour of the New
York Giants and the Chicago White
Sox next winter is for the teams and
the accompanying party to charter
their own ship and go all the way
around in it. The idea has been sug-
gested to Comiskey by Ban Johnson.
The American League president has
talked with steamship officials, and
says a vessel can be had. He thinks
about two hundred persons could
make the trip in the special boat, and
says the cost per person of the trip
would be reduced to about $1,000. Ban
expects to go along, and if he does
will call the annual meeting of the
American League for November so
that he can catch the boat. Johnson
says that if the ship does go to the
Antipodese he will come home from
China, as he does not want to be
away three or four months.
