the war department, the adjutant general,
who is now II. 7. johnson, is the com
handing officer of the National Guard.
At the present time he has the rank of
lieutenant colonel. This is due to the fact
that Vermont has less than regiment;
but when it is increased to a regiment lie
becomes colonel and, should the state at
any time have two regiments, he would
rank as brigadier general. Captain Hugh

Yankees File Papers to Com.
pei Accounting by Amer.
lean League President

Another chapter in the litigation IN
stituted by the New York American
League baseball club against Byron
Bancroft Johnson, president Of the
League, was disclosed yesterday in the
county clerks Office when papers in an
action brought by the Yankees to COM
pei Johnson to render an accounting
to the Supreme Court were hled by
Fitch & Grant, attorneys for the club.
The complaint alleges that for MANY
years the privileges of disseminating
baseball scores and news has been let
through the Western Union Telegraph
Company to various news agencies and
that the contract with the Western
Union was made by Ban johnson in
his capacity as president of the Ameri-
can League. They charge that all OF
the proceeds from this contract should
have gone into a sinking fund of the.
league, but whether it has or not the
complainants are unable to say.
They further ailege that at a meet
ing of the league held in Chicago on
September is last resolution was
passed directing Johnson TO submit
all contracts and all arrangements he
had made with the Western Union
Company. At another meeting held in
this city subsequently, when il was
learned he had refused 70 comply with
this request, his refusal was stamped
as "contumacious conduct" and in yio-
lation Of his duty as president Of the
league.
The complainant further alleges that
Johnson is in an alliance with the
Detroit, Philadelphia, Washington. st.
Louis and Cleveland American League
clubs, and that they are under his
direction and control; that they act
in accordance with his instructions ara
that through his influence and control
over these clubs, he has tried to sub
ordinate the New York, Chicago ard
Boston clubs of the American League.
Finally, 1t is charged that at the
annual meeting of the league, on De-
cember 10 last, the FIVE clubs acting in
concert with Johnson. elected their
own directorate. excluding New York.
Chicago and Boston from representa-
ton, and this body subsequently held
meeting at which they rescinded the
Chicago resolution requiring johnson
TO render an accounting Of his deal
ings with the Western Union.
1t is charged that Johnson made con-
tracts at inadequate prices and that
II constitutes q waste and destruction
; of the leagues assets. Wherefore they
ask the court to issue an order COM
pelling him to render an accounting OF
the receipts of the ticker service and
the nature of the contract for it.
