ROWLANDS WILL FIND
NEW CAPTAIN FOR SOX

According to a WE'LL defined report
Eddie Collins will not be captain of
the White Sox next year. When
Charles Comiskey announced that
Clarence Rowland would manage the
team again next season he declined to
say whether Collins would captain the
team, and did not say that Kid Glea-
son would continue as coach. Some of
the fans profess to see significance in
the words OF Comiskey, as follows:
Il might have gone out on first base
myself last year and perhaps we would
have won the pennant. Anyhow I
know. of one or two instances when I
would have been under some pop fly
balls, whether the captain forgot to
holler who was to take them or not"

to congress an immediate investigation
Of stock market manipulations Of the
last two years is contained in a letter
from Thomas w. Lawson Of this city.
to Congressman Robert I. Henry,
chairman Of the house committee on
rules. made public tonight.
The letter. which is in response Ito
the congressman's request for infor-
nation as a basis for an inquiry into a
runored leak from Washington to
Wall street in connection with the
peace note of President Wilson, asserts
that an investigation would disclose
the operations of a great false news
maker. aiming at "the complete be-
fuddling of the American people to the
real vitals of the hour"
In the letter, Mr.. lawson renews
previous statements that the so-called
leak Of last week was one Of a series
through which, he says, "the Amer
lean people were robbed OF hundreds
Of millions Of their savings and par
ticular few beneficiaries secured some
60 odd millions Of direct plumber, some
of which was split with important
people,"
Other leaks are coming, the letter
predicts, which will have similar re-
suits.
Tho letter suggests that congress
appoint a committee to investigate
with powers, made up Of men "of the
calibrc OF Justice Brandeis, Comptroll.
CT williams. Senator Owen and Con.
gresham Henry" and that the COM
mittee begin its investigation at once
