TWO COLONIES.
ARE PROMOTED
They Are Jocelyn and Duggan-
: Colonel Sweet Is Forced
.....:.- to Wait.

= Washington, June 2.-The promotion
OF Colonels ,IScelyn and Duggan to be
brlgadler generals closes out the case
OF Colonel Sweet, at Fort Smelling,
whose friends had been working for
his .promltlon. All the names of men
available for promotion were laid be-
tore the, president, and they made quite
a long list. Only two could be appoint
ed, and the president chose Jocelyn and
Duggan. -. -. -
Colonel Sweet was strongly recon-.
mended by Secretary Taft. under whom
he had served with distinction in the
Philippines. But the president had the
final selection, and Colonel Sweet was
left out with many other good Off
GERS.
Colonel Jocelyn was stationed at Fort
Smelling several years ago, with the
Fourteenth infantry, one of the crack
regiments of the army. He had lust
brought his men back from the Phil
ippines, and went with them to Smell
ling for rest and recuperation for sew
eral months. This was the first regi-
ment to use the enlarged reservation.
Colonel E. D. Thomas of the Eleventh
cavalry, now at Des Moines, was also
recommended to the president for pro-
motion, and he. like Colonel Sweet: fell
by the wayside, With only two places
to fill, of course. the president could
not reward all the deserving men who
were eligible for advancement.

COST OF LIGHT
TO Be STUDIED
Government Experts to Consider
Subject Of Interest to Munich z
pal Ownership Students.
BY W. w. Jermane.

Washington, June 2.--Advocates of
municipal ownership Of some of the
public utilities in Minneapolis are
likely to get some workable information
on electric lighting from the report
Of the commission provided for in Rep
resentative Stevens bill for the in
vestigation of the water power posi-
bilities at the locks and dams between
the twin cities.
There is every prospect that this bill
will be favorably reported and that it
will get thru both houses before adj
.journment. Mr.. Stevens believes it will
be amended to meet the views ex-
pressed at yesterdays hearing before
coming before the rivers and harbors
committee. n
. As presented to the committee, the
commission was authorized to investi.
gate and report On the development of
federal government in the development
of electricity for light and power fol-
the government buildings in the twin
cities and at Fort Smelling, the surplus
to be sold for lighting the city build
ings. The army engineers recommended
that the Investigation be extended to
cover the sale of electrical power tc
private parties, and Chairman Burton
thought the investigation. ought to &c
as far as to authorize private parties
to construct the plant with the priv
lege Of selling the current to the, fed
eral government primarily and that
surplus to other parties.
Under the authority given the com
mission in the bill amended as above
outlined, much interesting information
will be developed bearing on. the
amount of power which. can be sc
cured, the cost of a plant and also
the cost Of running it, also the saving
that will come to each city thru using
the government .power. r. IL {
With the report Of a board Of army
,engineera and government experts Of
electric lighting before them, thesad
vocates of municipal ownership vii
have some authoritative information
on which to base comparison of thu
actual cost Of running an electric gen
Grating plant, and the cost of tina
medium of light and power from thu
corporations now operating in the twi1

Chicago, June 2.-Mayor Dunno s
former special traction. adviser, Glen, E.
Plumb, who was staunch supporte of

ership theories, now declares himself to
be in favor Of a twenty7year revocable
franchise grant as the only practical
way Of settling the traction question.
This is in opposition to the mayor IS
present license plan. -, :
Mr.. Plumb believes the pub bile de-
mands immediate rehabilitation and
that grant Of the kind proposed by
him would enable the companies to i'm
prove the service at once. The proper
ties would be placed in the hands of a
trust company that would hold them
until the city was prepared to take
possession and pay the cost of rehabll-
itation. .....,..<....,.
It is claimed that this plan would
give the city control of. the streetcar
lines and at the same time allow the
companies to operate. 1t is we'll known
that the mayor is opposed to any grant
for definite term, even when the fran
chise is revocable. - -;
Traction men are inclined to look
with favor upon Mr. Plumb's plan.

Anderson were closed yesterday, and
the entire controversy, between the

nanies is now before the court. T. -.
