Harry Koch and cub Potter we're tire
victors in the semi-finaIs at the Field
club Thursday In the city tennis tourna-
ment. and they battied on tEe court
yesterday afternoon for the honors OF
the tourney OF 1911 The winner will
face A. II. scribner. present holder Of the
city title In the challenge round on sat
urday afternoon.
Although Koch and Potter beat their
men yesterday they did not win as easily
as might have been expected. Koch put
cut NJ s. Swartz only after three sets
Ghe first set he took eH~:iy enough at
81 but in the second he suffered a re-
lapse and II went to Swartz at S. In the
third he got back to his form. however.
and his opponent only managed to pull
one game out Of the fire. The final result
was never in doubt. hut nevertheless
Swartz played a steady and hard game.
standing up under Koch's relentless Law
fords in surprising form.
II also took Potter three sets in which
10 put out spike" Kennedy. In the first
set the latter was not allowed a Iook-in.
but in the second set Potter went to pieces
In most decided manner when il looked
as II he had II tucked safely away. Re
lost a number of games in quick success
sion. the score went to deuce and when
the dust had cleared away Kennedy had
the long end OF a 6-S set. Potter re-
covered and quickly ended the agony.
Match No WaIkaway.
Although Potter is counted upon TO win
IN today's match against Koch no one
thinks that he will have a waIkaway and
some good tennis is expected. IL Potter
wins there will be some even classier
racuuetship tomorrow when he meets
Scribner for the championship Both men
are playing in their finest form and the
outcome OF the match is a tossup.
The semi-finals in the doubles come to-
day. and although the results in them
also are not g-aatls in doubt. they are
exciting much interest in the gallery and
bringing out some scientific tennis Today

The discussion on the installation of a
generating plant was taken up by o. II.
Griggs of the Virginia Electric Power &
Water Co. Mr.. Griggs reiterated many of
the statements made at the last meeting
and offered to sell the Board an electric
generating plant for "between $4,000 and
$4,000 saying that the contract price for
the proposed plant was too high. AS MIR.
Griggs did not state in his offer whether
the plant he had in mind was NEW or
SECOND HAND, what the voltage was to be.
and just what the exact price was, nor how
many, if any, accessories would be in
cluded. whether the motors now in both
buildings would be exchanged without
extra cost, etc., the Board did not see fit to
entertain the proposition.
L. A. Larson, expert engineer for the
board, submitted figures based on the
Kilowatt hour consumption of current
showing that to furnish all the current
necessary for both buildings under con-
sideration. if the board operates their own
plant would cost 100000, and that to buy
the same amount of current from the city
plant would cost $4,000. This would be a
saving of $4,000 to the district.
On motion the board at this point went
into executive session. After all matters
brought out on both sides in this prolonged
discussion had been considered pro and
con, the following motion was entertained.
Moved bv r. J. McGhee. seconded by
Helen E. Coffman, that the board. through

THE prospective appointment of
Senator Clappas successor to Form
err Senator Elkins as chairman of
the senate committee on interstate
commerce would show that the
qualifications of Minnesota's junior
senator are recognized at the
national capitol, even though his
progressive ideasfor a time threat
ened to place his seat in jeopardy.
AND while our Mr.. Miller has
scarce got back on the job since

space in some of our exchanges.
G. G. Hartley, C. A. Congdon and

THE policy of "majority rule" in
stituted in the senate by Lieuten'
ant Governor Gordon will meet with
favor by the masses whether it does
with the interests or no. Every.
thing in which the public is inter
ested will be fought out on the
floor of the senate-nOt smothered
in committee as has heretofore
been the case in many instances
| and the constituents of the variou-
members will be given the opportun
ity of watching the vote of their

vote instead of lodging the issue

THE payment of a pol,tial deb
by the release from prison of life

made by some against Ex-Gover

tention being that Ed Ascher, con
victed of cold.bloded murder, was
released as the price of the politit
ical support of Abe Ascher and his
following in the third ward of the
city of Detroit. That the story Of
the political perfdy has some stand
ing in Mishigan is evinced by the
tact that Governor Osborn, upon
being indicted into office, gave the
members of board of control voting
for the pardons forty-eight hours in
which to resign, with the alternative
OF being subject to charges to force
their resignation from the position
of trnst. They resigned, another

ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING NO2

The meeting was called to order by the
Chairman. n: A. Holmer.
Roll call:
Present. Guy II. Moore, Joseph Roskilly,
J. H. Fleming r. ]. McGhee' Helen E. Coff-
man, LAFAYETTE Bliss, N. A. Homer
Absent, none.
The chairman called on L. A. Larson,
expert engineer of the board, to state why
he had advised the board to purchase an
Electric Generating plant, and to defend
his former estimate of the cost of said
plant made to the board.
Mr.. Larson took up in detail the state
ments made by the Virginia Electric
Power & Water Company's expert, Mr..
Howard.
First as to the statement that direct cur
rent generators and motors are obsolete,
etc. Mr.. Larson gave the names of ten
firms in Duluth, ten in St. Paul and ten in
Minneapolis. with scattering examples in
other towns of Minnesota where direct cur
rent generators had been installed within
the last two years. remarking in passing
that If direct current generators are old
fashioned there are lot of able business
men being fooled as to what they want in
this line. Mr., Larson claimed that when
variable speed, with economy, is sought
the direct current motors are superior, and
in manual training work all over the coun-
try direct current motors are universally
used.
Alternating current motors of variable
speed may be bought as cheaply as direct
current motors of variable speeds but the
alternating current variable speed is secur-
ed at an expense of power, just as would
be secured lower speed by putting a
brake on an engine, and hence when the
speed is reduced on an alternating current
motor there is loss in economy of power.
Alternating current motors of variable
speeds have not yet been perfected for
manual training service.
AS the wiring in new building is all in
conduits there would be no necessity of
tearing out walls and floors to put in new
wires. Besides the wiring as already done
is as good for direct current as for a1ternat-
ing current. The wires now in the con-
Quits are amply large enough for either
direct current or alternating current
AS to the extra expense to be incurred by
more water being used, estimated at $4,000
Mr.. Larson stated that there would be no
extra water used worth mentioning, since
all the exhaust steam is condensed in the
radiators for heating the buildings and il
run thro,1p h the filfern faf into the boilers
