JOHNSON MUST co,
COM|SKEY ASSERTS
Is Endangering Integrity of
Game, White Sox Chief
Declares. ....

CHICAGO, November 22.-That a
determined effort will be made to
GUST Ban johnson from the leader
clubs of the circuit is made positive
by a statement issued by Charles A.
Comiskey on his return from New York.
He said:
I'm view Of the mouthings of Mr..
Johnson as chronicled in the daily
press, | believe the public is now
of his relations to organized base
ball.
Mr. Rupert of New York, Mr..
F'razee of Boston, Mr.. Dunn of Cleve-
land and myself are the directors of
that league. We are the owners of
properties worth several millions Of
dollars. Mr.. johnson has no prop
erty interest in the American League
or in any of the individual clubs con-
shutting that league. 1t is fair to
tore sted in preserving the integrity
Of the league, if for no other reason
than that we are interested in con-
serving the properties in which we
are vitality interested.
I'VE have reached the conclusion
that Mr.. Johnson is endangering not
only the value of these properties, but
the integrity of base ball, and we
therefore intend to do everything
possible to rid organized base ball of
the impeachment which we believe is
now attached to 1t.
with reference to Mr.. Johnson's
further utterances that the board, in
Guiding myself:
"'Do not possess the moral or
physical courage to sit in a session
with the other five honest club own
ers Of the league
Il hardly believe that such a state
ment is the utterance of man quail
fed to act, even pretendedly, as the
pres dent Of our association.
The public knows who are honest
club owners and who are not. and l
can only attribute such a statement
as emanating from the meanderings
of a mimi in the same condition as
was that mind when Mr.. Johnson ap-
peared at Fenway Park in 1918, during
a game of the world series in Boston"

to be a run or forward pass, but bear
this in mind, either one Of these men

PREDICTS SUFFRAGE
FOR DISTRICT SOON

That residents of the District of
Columbia soon will have the right to
elect representatives to Congress was
the prediction of Senator Sslden p.
Spencer of Missouri, speaking before
a meeting of the Chamber OF COM
merce last night. at Rauscher's Han.
Senator Spencer declared he favors
representation in Congress for the
District because the present system
has resulted in a 'bodge-podge of
legislation" much of which is con-
fiicting and represents the views of
only a small portion OF the people.
"Under the present situation" Sen
stor Spencer said every department
of the District government goes to
Congress to ask for what il needs.
Congress does not get the views of the
people from representative they have
elected II would be advantageous
for Congress. as well as for the peo-
pie of the District, IL Washington
were represented in the House and in
the Senate by men of its own choos-
ing"
Senator Spencer said he favors the
half-and- half plan of taxation for the
District.
The law and legislation committee
of the Chamber, headed by E. L. Sin
clair, was directed to draw UP plan
for carrying out daylight saving in
the District of Columbia
A resolution was presented advo-
eating the purchase by Congress of
Mt Vernon.
William GUIDE. chairman of the COM
mittee on parks and reservations, ad-
vocated the purchase of certain tracts
OF land for permanent parks. The
following tracts were mentioned:
The Patterson estate, Mt. Hamilton,
Klingle road, extension OF the Piney
Branch Parkway, Fort drive, and
sites Of forts from Pennsylvania
avenue southeast to Fort Stanton,
