According to dispatches from
Springfield, Mo-, a move is on
foot to recall the mayor Of that
city. The principal grounds for
asking the recall are alleged ne
glect of his power to enforce the
laws for the perseverance of public
peace and the lives and property
of citizens, that he retains men on
the police force he knows fail and
refuse to enforce the laws, that he
has appointed men to the police
force who had been rejected by
the Civil-Service Board.

tract with the Browns"

however. that he is certain Hickey will
make no departure from his usual
honorable dealings" in all matters.
On the other hand a message from
August Hermann. chairman of the Ma
tional Commission. expresses doubt as
to the commissions jurisdiction in
Rickey's case.
The whole question depends" Herr
mann writes, "on the exact kind of a
contract Hickey was working under for
the Browns-whether 1t is a baseball con-
tract. making him amenable to National
Commission rules. or some sort of a
contract which would give US no jurisdic-
tion."
Judge George Williams Rickey's attor-
ney was undistrubed by Ban Johnson's g
message.
THE National Commission will not
pass on this matter until they know
what the facts are. And when they
know what the facts are they will know
what the contract was. This was no
