BAN JOHNSON ON
Way TO attend
new YORK MEET
American League President
And Five Loyal Owners.
Call Off Chicago
Conference.

Chicago, Dec. 8-President Ban
B. johnson of the American league,
accompanied by five 'loyal" club
owners, departed Monday night for
New York to accept the challenge
of the three rebel" directors and at
tend the meeting called for Wednes-
Gay to settle the contest for the
presidency of the league.
The controversy will be fought out
on the grounds chosen by the minor
ity directors of the league-Charles
Comiskey, owner of the Chicago
club; Harry Frazee of the Boston
club, and Colonel Jacob Rupert,
owner of the New York club. The
decision to attend the New York
meeting was reached, by the five
loyal club owners at secret meet
ing this afternoon. Afte. the ses-
sion President Johnson announced
that the meeting called for Chicago
Wednesday had been called off. This
action was taken on the advice of
counsel in the belief that the quick
est way to straighten out the tangle
was to compel the opposition to lay
its cards on the table of its own
choosing.
Desire Showdown.
George w. Miller, counsel for
President Johnson and his associ-
ates, said that the majority club
owners did not by their action ad-
init the right of the directors to call
this meeting, but it was their desire
to compel a showdown.
IF the three club owners-Messrs.
Comiskey. Rupert and Frazee-met
in New York and the other five in
Chicago" Attorney Miller said,
there might be further litigation to
embarrass the league. The three di-
rectors might set up the claim that
their meeting was the legal one. and
not having quorum, might adjourn
and throw the league into endless
litigation. ...
ITO circumvent this possibility.
the majority club owners decided to
meet the minority on their own
grounds and settle the dispute at
once"
Meeting Harmonious.
The meeting Monday was not
protracted one, and at its conclusion
all parties to it maintained that it
was both harmonious and confident.
All FIVE loyal" clubs were fully rep
resented. Those in attendance we're:
B. S. Minor and Clark Griffith of
the Washington club; President Phil
Bali and Business Manager Robert
Quinn of St. Louis; M. Shibe and
Manager Connie Mack of the Phila-
delphia club; Frank Marvin of the
Detroit club, and James c. Dunn Of
Cleveland.
President Comiskey of the Chi
cago Americans, who is aligned with
the faction opposed to Johnson, also
left for New York tonight.

Opened With Contest
At Miller Park Lake

Miller park on Saturday with a
game between teams skipped by
Mark Levings and Bob Watson. Be-
ing the first game of what promises
to be longer, and therefore, more
successful season than curriers' have
enjoyed for the past two or three
years, keen rivalry characterized the
contest which ended in a victory Tor
Levings and his supporters.
Sunday brought a larger number
of players to the ice, and two good
games were played, the competing
teams being skipped in both games
by Alick Melvin and Mark Levings.
The Levings team was victor on
both occasions, winning the first
contest by the one-sided score of Il
to 5, and the second II to II.
Park Commissioner Falconer was
an interested spectator during part
of the forenoon, and was prevailed
upon to test his skill in the roar

A Mississippi Function

The nation has been told at some length Of
one of the most successful lynchings that the
south has witnessed of late and knows it was
staged in Ellisville, Miss. AS usual, the per-
son lynched was negro who, it was alleged,
had assaulted white woman, but what sets
the lynching in class by itself is the fact that
the governor of the state declined to interfere,
saying that nobody can keep the inevitable
from happening"
Governor Blbo one observes, says in eff
feet that Allah is great and the negro will be
killed in any event. which is exactly what hap
pened, indicating that the governor of Missis-
sippi understands his own people thoroughly
and does not propose to interfere with their
own peculiar activities. 1t was nothing to him
that the law would have punished the man had
the law been invoked; he was as Indifferent to
that fact as to the fact that it was part of
his business to see that law is honored in his
state. To these things he has proved himself
indifferent. The governor and the state alike
have made all i'll name for themselves Hart

War League or Peace League?

Clemenceau has turned a ray of light on a
part of the League of Nations not hitherto
much illuminated. Addressing the committee
of the Chamber of Deputies, he congratulated
France on the treaties guaranteeing safety
against aggression by Germany, and then he
said: "The French government must endeavor
within the league organization to secure the
adoption of the amendment proposed by Leon
Bourgeois establishing a military and naval
staff in the league
If the league is not to have power to de-
termine but only to advise as to war, why
should it be equipped with military and naval
staff? If it has such department, will it not
be supreme over all national military establish
ments? How can these questions be answered
to the satisfaction of Americans, who have been
taught to regard the covenant as guaranty of
peace.
To be sure, the Bourgeois amendment has
not yet been incorporated in the covenant, but
here is the great French statesman advocating
its urgency before the treaty is finally ratified
by his own government. Is it war league, or
peace eague'

These men are not in any sense contumacious,

coal miners iron and steel workers, and many
