BAN JOHNSON SAYS
CHANGEIS COMING
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." - !
The statement was issued after two
afternoon newspapers had quoted Mr.
Johnson as saying that August. Herr
mann, chairman of the. commission,
would be deposed. Immediate denial
of the statement was made. President
Johnson,' however, said that certain
club owners ot the American league
wer eooDOsed to "too much National
league in the composition of the Na-
Confers with Johnson.
Mr. Herrmann is president of the
Cincinnati club of the National league
and has been chairman "of the Na
tional commission since the '(formation
of the body, under the .agreement of
both leagues. He was in conference
with President Johnson here last
week regarding questions involving
the commission.
The commission is made .up of
Johnson, Herrmann and t John
Tener, president of the ' National
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 member, 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. i

further state that thev did not sien 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-'

Speech at Johnson.,
- Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 1-After
Shaking hands with crowds at fifteen
cities and towns in New York state,
President Wilson arrived here at 1:20
o'clock this afternoon on his final
trip of the campaign. His train was
twenty minutes late, because of the
frequent stops en route.
Greeted With Cheers.
Johnson City, N. Y., Nov. 1.
When President Wilson's special
train passed through here today, the
executive was greeted by thousands
of the employes of a shoe company,
which recently established the eight
hour day. The workmen and their
families repeatedly applauded the
president, who shook hands with
many.
Alluding to the shoe company's
action in effecting an eight-hour day
as an indication of a spirit which di
minished feeling between capital and
labor, the president said:
"I want to express my regret that
I was not able to be here last Satur
day to celebrate what I think was a
very significant thing, the action of
the firm of Endicott, Johnson & Co.,
in giving its employes eight hours,
not only for the reasons that are
generally given, but also for better
reasons, because they regard men and
all their employes as members of the
same business family with them. If
that sort of feeling existed every
where there would be no question be
tween capital and labor. I want to
congratulate you upon living under
such auspicies and tell you how very
much obliged to you I am for this
real welcome."

member of the engine room staff.
"The bunkers fell in and the engines
were dismantled. . Two men were
killed in the stoke hole and several
others were scalded.
"Three boats got away; a fourth
was smashed. Orders were given to
see particularly that all Americans
among passengers or crew were saved.
The wireless station tried to summon
aid, but his gear was dismantled by
the first torpedo."
United States Policy Unchanged.
Washington, Nov. 1. Secretary
Lansing authorized a formal state
ment today that the progress of the
political campaign would in "no 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 Oertnony. '
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 Run
for defense only, should not be. enti
tled to the ordinary guarantees,' but
could be sunk- on signt as oeing 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.
Officials here leave no doubt that
the United States will not admit such
a contentioh by Germany.
