BOrdinarily more rabbits jann are killed. About 300 persons witnessed the f opening program and a lively inter- flest was manifested, although speedy 2" kills i several of the events cur- tailed the duration of the excitement.

By Wheelan z 9555 2754 BAN JOHNSON SAYS CHANGE IS GOMING American League Magnates Think Too Many National Men on Commission. CONFERS WITH HERRMANN Chicago, Nov. 1.—President B. B. Johnson of the American league, in a statement tonight, admitted that there “probably will be a change in the complexion of the National Base Ball commission.” Ayt €0 The statement was issued after two afternoon newspapers had quoted’ Mr. Johnson as saying that August Herr- fann, chairman of ‘the ‘commission, would be deposed. Immediate denial of the statement was made. President Johnson,” however, said that certain club owners of the American league wer eopposed to “too much National league in the comgosition of the Na- tional commission.” | Confers with Johnson. Mr. Herrmann is president of the Cincinnati club of the National league and has been chairman “of ‘thé Na- tional commission since theformation of the body, under the.agreement of both leagues. He was in conference with President Johnson here last week regarding questions involving the commission. 3 The commission Johnson, Herrmann Tener, president of the league. Must Must Agree on Third, New York, Nov. 1.—The chairman. of the National commission is-elected annually by the votes of thetwo major league presidents, which means that both Johnson and Tener must agree upon the third meniber, since a dif- ference of opinion would result in a deadlock. As both league presidents are automatically members of the commission, as at present consti- tuted, the only way in which the com- plexion of the body could be changed would be the election of a third mem- ber not affiliated with either league in place of the present chairman, who also is the president and chief stock- holder of the Cincinnati National league club. | Taxpayers Resent quing Assessment The city council, sitting as a board of equalization, received numerous protests against special taxes as- sessed to pay cost of paving Center street, Thirty-sixth street west to city limits. The protestants contend that the special assessments do not compare with the benefits accruing to the property which is taxed. They further state that they did not sign a petition for this improvement; that the council invoked a new law per- taining to “main thoroughfares.” The council will set a day for hear- ing the case on its merits.

The Hoosier pilot is convinced he can trim the Huskers. There is no chance for a battle with the Hoosiers this season, but it is possible that the Nebraska athletic board will accom- modate Stiehm next fall.

Washington, Nov. 1.—Secretary | Lansing authorized a formal state- ment today that the progress of the political campaign would in o way affect the investigation of submarine | attacks and that there had been no change in the United States govern- ment’s policy. Meanwhile Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, sent a wire- less dispatch to his government ask- ing that he be furnished immediately by wireless with all the details availa- ble regarding the sinking of the Marina. Secretary Lansing's statement fol- lows: “The fact that a political campaign is in progress will in no way affect the practice of the department in ne- gotiating and in making full investi- gation of cases of this sort. We shall do it as we always have, with as much celerity as possible. “I wish also to make another state- ment on a matter which has been brought to my attention. The ques- tion has been raised as to whether the policy of the president or the depart- ment in regard to submarine warfare since the Sussex .was sunk has been changed. I wish to say emphatically that there has been no change in any particular.” Awaits Word from Germony. Secretary Lansing made it plain, also, that no decisive action would be taken until Germany had had oppor- tunity to reply to the inquiry for its version of the attacks on the Marina and Rowanmore. The instructions sent to the embassy at Berlin were said to ask for an investigation by Germany and not for an explanation. It was not meant to indicate that the United States believed that it had any proof that Germany had violated its pledges. The question of whether the Mar- ina was armed is becoming increas- ingly important. No mention of that has been made in advices so far re- ceived and the embassy in London has asked for information on the point. . Germany has “contended that ships armed,. even with a small stern gun for defense on:ly, should not be.enti- tled to the ordinary guarantees, byt could be sunk on sight as being prac- tically naval auxiliaries, The fact that England has been arming more and more of its mer- chantmen has made the question a vital one in Germany's consideration of a wider submarine’ campaign.
