WAR 70 A FINISH"
JOHNSON'S DECREE
American League Head Says
Clubs Will Be Put in
Big Cities.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. November 8
War to a finish was declared here to-
day by President B. b. johnson OF the
American League and his hve loyal
club owners in the fight against the
formation of a new twelve-club
league.
President johnson declared that
clubs would be established in Chi
cago, Boston and New York next sea
son to take the places the CLUBS
revolutionary movement to reorgan-
ize base ball would affect
I'VE are prepared to give them all OF
the battle they want" President John-
son declared. The American League
is going about it's business and VIII
have clubs in the eight citiesssw whieh
have composed it's circuit. Tor years
We will not back up for q -second.se-.s
War, in my judgment, is the best
cleanser I am for It. as n believe ~
will clean up base ball like 1T cleans
up everything else. What the. game
really needs Is to be cleansed of some
of it's undesirable club owners. who
have been a detriment because they
openly allowed gambling in their
base ball parks.
1.-The National League never had
any stomach for a fight. 1t is an
impossible organization, he con,
tinued. Its politics ruined the OLD
national commission because John X
Tener, the former league president
could not get along with Chairman
Hermann of the commission.

SECOND DIVISION
GETS RUSH ORDER
TO FILL RANKS

Telegraphic orders were sent today
to the Army recruiting stations to re-
cruit the I'd Division to its full
strength Immediately. 1t was eX-
planned at the War Department that
under the provisions Of the national
defense act one division of the Army
must be kept at full strength. and
that the Cd Division had been selected
by the general staff as the unit to be
maintained at full strength.
The division. which is stationed at
Camp Travis. Tex, is 5000 short of
it's full strength. and the War De-
partment said that the recruiting
service never before in time of peace
had been given a similar task Here
tofore recruits for the I'd Division
have been drawn. from the states of
Texas and Oklahoma. but under the
new order they will be taken from
any place in the country.

HIGHER PHONE RATE
WILL NOT Be ASKED
Continuance of Present D. C..
Schedule Desired by Com
pany, However.

The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company does not expect to
ask for higher rates when the pres
ent schedule expires. January 81, A
E. Berry, president. stated today
Mr.. Berry said the company prob
ably will ask the commission only
to continue the existing schedule. To
do this. action by the commission
will be necessary in January. since
the rates in effect prior to last June
would automatically be restored on
February 1.
The president of the company gave
the following figures of earnings
under the existing rates: June. $780,
Oh: July. $76.121; August, a loss OF
$4e.24S. and September. $47,e9s.
This makes net profit for the four
able of $134.s9O. While this would be
a little less than 3 per cent return
on the valuation of the company's
property, If continued for year, Mr.
Berry pointed out that these are not
the best months of the year, and
under the existing rates should be
much better.
To show that the telephone COM
pany has improved service since early
in the year Mr.. Berry pointed out
that in January the company had
'1.217 girls at the switchboards last
month, an increase of 214.
In this connection the company also
has made marked progress in reduc-
ing the number of out-of-town oper-
ators who were brought here to meet
unusual conditions during the war.
In January there were 554 out -of-town
operators in Washington, while last
month the number was 36S.
AS the out-of-town operators have
been sent home, the force of native
girls has increased considerably. In
January there were 449 local girls in
the service. In October there were
X49.
The company has been exerting every
effort to get a sufficient number of local
girls to let all of the war operators
go home, because it has been sub
stantial expense to the company to
provide accommodat tionS for these girls.
Mr.. Berry also is looking forward
to having enough operators on hand to
handle the rush of telephone business
expected during the inauguration
DeriOd.

SAYS HE GOT MRS. WILSON
TO POSE; WANTS s25, 900
Artists Publicity Agent Ayers
$1,000 and Commission Was
Not Forthcoming.

Grover w. Ayers. who describes
himself as a publicity agent, and says
he was employed by Seymour NJ
Stone, a local artist, to secure for
the artist permission to paint the pic
ture of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, today
filed suit in the District Supreme Court
to recover $4,000 damages from Mr
Stone.
Mr.. Ayers said he entered the en-
ploy of the artist March Is. 1919. and
was promised $1,000 if he could secure
the privilege of painting the picture
of the first lady of the land. Plaintih
says the necessary permission was
secured by him and the picture OF
Mrs. Wilson painted. but the artist
has refused to pay him the $1,000.
Besides acting as publicity man, he
was also secretary to the artist, Mr.
Ayers tells the court. and it was
agreed that he AAould receive one
fourth of the amount of the gross
business done by Mr.. Stone. The re-
ceipts from the artists work since
March, 1919, have been 100000. the
plaintiff asserts. and the alleged re-
fusal to pay him his share under the
alleged contract has damaged him to
the extent of $4,000.

MRS. Up. TUMULN
BUYS RESIDENCE
Former Home of Gov. Shep.
herd Acquired by Wife of
Presidents Secretary.

Mrs. Joseph P Tumulty. wife of the
secretary to President Wilson, has
just purchased the handsome resi-
dence at goth street and Kalorama
road. which was the home of former
Gov. Alexander Shepherd of the Dis
trict and which has since his death
been occupied by his widow
Announcement of this purchase was
confirmed today at the White House
by Secretary Tumulty. He said that
Mrs. Tumulty had made the purchase
in her own name and that it was more
or less of a speculative venture on her
part. Whether or not this familiar
old landmark in the Washington
Heights section is to be the future
home of the Tumulty family Secretary
Tumulty did not disclose, although he
did say that he thought Mrs. Tumulty
had made a wise purchase. What dis
position she proposes to make of it in
the future is entirely up to Mrs. Tum-
ulty, he said.
The Shepherd home is one of the most
picturesque and comfortable homes in
that exclusive residential section of
Washington. 1t is double structure of
red brick and /brownstone trimmings
and has large wide verandas about il.
The building is tucked peacefully and
cozily away from the street and has a
large lawn with a number of picturesque
shade trees and shrubbery about it.
Electric lights have never been in
stalled and it is likely that this will be
attended to without delay. Regarding
the remodeling of the house, Mr.
Tumulty said that he did not know to
what extent Mrs. Tumulty would go in
installing modern features and making
certain necessary repairs.
The present Tumulty residence is at
264? Connecticut avenue, which home
the secretary rents.
Mrs. Shepherd will occupy an apart
ment in a large modern apartment house
in the vicinity of her old home.

of the proudest and happiest girls in
the District of Columbia. She has not
only seen President Wilson. but has
shaken his hand and sat and talk ed
with him.
Olive, who is a pupil at the Western
High School. has been one of the Pres
idents most ardent and faithful fol-
lowers. During his last administra-
ton she kept a scrap book in which
she pasted every picture of President
Wilson which struck her fancy.
Recently her mother wrote to Mrs.
Wilson. asking If it would be possible
for the ddmiring daughter to see the
President in person. and much to her
surprise and pleasure the next mail
brought an answer in the affirmative.
The date was set, and, accompanied
by her mother and with her big scrap
book under her arm, the young high
school pupil went to the White House
and spent nearly fifteen minutes with
the chief executive, during which time
she showed him her collection of pic
lures. much to his apparent pleasure
