the shores Of tho ocean as curiosity
and exhibited TO the vulgar as a dime

very properly taken action to prevent
this Notwithstanding the liberal finan-
cial offer made for the remains of
what was once one Of our finest bat
tleships.
The total cost OF removing the
wreck from the position in which it
has lain, a menace TO navigation and

was left OF the ship from harbor to

tunately congress has refused TO con-
sent 70 such a plan.
No good purpose could be served
by such an exhibition. 1t could not
be in any sense educational. 1t would

a VICTORY FOR OSBORN.

In an opinion rendered this week.
the supreme court Of Michigan sus-
tanned Governor Osborn in removing
lappointees. and as a result of this rul-
ing, John $. Haggorty Of Detroit is no
longer entitled TO sit as member of
the board Of control of Jackson prison.
and Edward A. Phillips of Fenton is
permanently removed as a member of
the governing body of Ionia prison.
The contest between the chief eXecu-
tive and the deposed members of the
two prison Boards dates back TO the
last session Of the legislature when the
Senate refused to confirm the names
sent i'm by Governor Osborn and con-
tinued in Office the appointees of Ex-
Gov. Warner.
John $ Haggerty was placed on the
Jackson board by Gov. Warner Dee,
20 1910. a few days after the sudden
death Of Thomas ]. Navin, who had
held this office for a number Of years.
When Governor Osborn came into Of
fee he substituted the name OF clyde
~. Webster OF Detroit in the place of
Haggerty, but the senate refused to
confirm the new member and Haggerty
held the JOB until July. when he was
ousted by Osborn. Phillips OF the lonia
board was deposed at the same time
and Col ]. V. Parker of Flint was
given the place.
This decision is one of the most far
reaching so far as state affairs are
concerned that has been handed down
in many "A day. II gives to Governor
Osborn the practically complete con-
troll of state institutional affairs
through the many appointments at his
disposal.
The decision recalls i'm the first place
the great fight made in the senate
when the list Of % appointments sent
in by Governor Osborn were rejected
and the % appointments sent in by
former Governor Warier were con-
firmed. This was the famous raid Of
the-"Danites" which resulted in a split
i'm the senate and a friction between
that body and the executive Office
which was carried through to the last
day OF the session.
At that time the big fight was over
the appointment of Perry f. Powers to
succeed Richard Fletcher as labor
commissioner, although there was
scarcely less interest in the fight over
the minor appointments. notably that
OF Haggerty to the board of control of
Jackson prison.
Fletcher held on, although Governor
Osborn declared he had. he felt sure
sufficient authority TO eject him from
his office at that time. But he per-
mitted him to serve out his term,
which ended July 1, and at that time
appointed Mr.. Powers.
Thus far Governor Osborn has been
able TO secure control of most Of the
boards either through expiration of the
terms Of the Warner appointees or
through their designations. Haggerty
and Phillips, however, were appointed
for terms not ending until 1915. Both
refused to move or to be moved.
IL is interesting TO note that the
great raid of the "Danites" was pure
ly illegal. The men they kept in Of
flee were without warrant of law. This
was maintained by Governor Osborn

Club today, the scores being g., al,

Longwood title, will not defend the
title this year, not caring to play his

has earned the first leg on the fifth
Longwood cup.
The younger Larneds play today re-
semhled in many ways that od his
famous brother. the national singles
champion. Larned, from the outset,
uncovered glaring weakness irf his
opponent and drove continually to
Touehard's baekhand Touchard. al
though tired from his remarkable ef-
forts i'm singles and doubles in the
tournament fought back gamely, his
great side line shots and court Gov
ering making the crowd enthusiastic.
Larned's play in the very first set
showed a carefully mapped out cam
paign and before Touchard walked up
Larned had reeled off the first three
games He worked his opponent skill
fully off his balance and playing ae-
curatelv across court ard down the
side lines. he ran out two games, only
to lose the sixth through his weak
backhand and coming back with some
brilliant drives and fast service won
the seventh and his last game of the
set
In the second set Touchard quickly
gained the upper hand, speeding up
his play until he had won the first
three games. Larned stuck TO mis-
task and his persistent hammering to

brought him up on even terms Both
PLAYERS rallied brilliantly in the sue
ceeding games but Touchard's supe-
rior speed and driving pulled out a
deuce set with many long deuce
games.
The effort tired the young New
Yorker visibly The New Jersey man
took advantage of his opponents
plight skilfully and won the third set
easily 6-3
After a brief rest both players start

Larned quickly showed that he was
nearly as fresh as when the match
began Touchard although fast ON his
feet could not put the speed in his
strokes that SO completely baffied Long
Yesterday. Larned's endurance was
greater and his backhand stood UP
well under the severe attack that
Touchard placed upon it in this set.
Larned ran up to the net on his last
game and from there his sharp volley-
ing at different angles won him the
match. I.arneds game was much bet
