COBB WANTS TO-

 Batsman to Equal Waener's Mark.
 Ty Cobb dropped into Detroit news paper office the other night and picked up "A History of Baseball' and ran through the batting records that form the high lights of diamond history. He was especially interested In Hans Wag' ner's eight years at the top of the Na- tional league, a record which Cobb tied In 1914.
 "There isn't anything wouldn't give to lead the league just two years more, " said Tyrus. ''I don't know whether I can do it or not, but to be the best bat ter In a major league for ten years would be enough to satisfy any man. It sure would suit me.
 "If there is anything more for which would give almost anything It would be to beat Lajoie's batting average of .422 in 1901. I got APO in 1911, and there were two games in which didn't play that l might have. don't know that they would have boosted my aver age, but 1 can't help thinking that I passed up big chance. certainly WAS a fortunate batter that year."
 While glancing over the records Cobb's eye fell on a passage that in- troduced the story of his perform ances. and he read 1t over several times. It ran as follows:
 Cobb Is the only batsman of the time with the possibility of passing Wagner's world record (Wagner bat. ted over 300 eighteen consecutive years). He Is wonderful batsman In point of ability, but has not the physique to warrant hope that be will be able to stand the strain of major league playing as well as the four giants-Wagner. Anson, Brouthers and Lajoie-who now lead him In the point of continuous service"
 "I wonder is that Is true" unused Cobb. "I know that folks expect me to break down under the strain Os the game, and maybe will. But I really think that my manner of training in the winter Is conserving my strength. know this much: have been play Ing ball eleven years now, and of re- cent years 1t has been easier for me to get into condition and keep In shape than 1t was when I was younger. ] seem to be really getting in better condition each year

Home Rule League
Wants Law Amended

The bill introduced by Senator Graft
last night at the request of the Mu-
nicipal Home Rule League of Penn
sylvania, providing for the repeal of
the public service company law, is the
first step OF that organization to have
the public service statute so amended
as to remove all boroughs and munich
palities of the State from the op-
erations of the public service law and
the jurisdiction of the commission.
The Municipal League is preparing
to wage vigorous campaign for the
amendment of the public service law
to meet its views and to that end is
petitioning the Legislature through the
people of the various districts affected.
These petitions are uniform in their
wording and allege that the law un-
justly discriminates against all munich
palities which had not at the time of
its passage established their own mu-
nlclpal plants or works by depriving
them OF the right to purchase. build or
operate such works wherever the pub
lie service company for profit was do
ing business when the act was passed. -

Adjutant General Thomas ]. Stew
art, Montgomery county, was last night
appointed adjutant general for the
sixth time. His name was sent to the
Senate by Governor Brumbaugh and
confirmed without any loss of time. He
will be commissioned Immediately.
General Stewart has been the head
of the military establishment of the
State since January 10. 1895, and to-
day he enters upon his service under
the sixth Governor. He is the State
official longest in any one office almost
in the history of the commonwealth
and his reappointment is a tribute to
his efficient service, which has at
tracted national attention.
General Stewart was born in Bel
fast, September II, 1S4S, and was
brought to Montgomery county by his
parents when only nine months old.
He was educated in Montgomery
schools and the Quaker City Business
College, in Philadelphia, and when
only sixteen enlisted as a private in
the One Hundred and Thirty eighth
PENNSYLVANIA Volunteers. He entered
the window glass business after the
war and in 1885 was elected to the
House of Representatives. Soon after
he was named a member of the COM
mission to locate the Soldiers Home
at Erie and has been a member of the
board of trustees ever since, serving
as secretary since 1856.
In Grand Army matters General
Stewart has been very active. He was
assistant adjutant general of the De-
partment of Pennsylvania, 1882 to
1888. department commander in 1890,
assistant adjutant general of the Grand
nj "a 10 ,NF -.,ga
States in 1888 and adjutant general
in 1897, 1898 and 1899; elected COM
mander-in- n-chief in 1902.
Since 1856 General Stewart has been
a national guardsman. He was ad-
jutant of the Sixth Regiment in 1877;
assistant adjutant general, First Bri-
gade, from 1889 to 1897, and became
acJutant general January 10, 1895, by
appointment of Governor Hastings and
being reappointed by Governors Stone,
Pennypacker, Stuart, Tener and Brum-
baugh. He is president of the Ma
tional Guard Association of the United
states and a former president of the
State Guard Association, serving also
as a member of the militia board of
the War Department. His advice is
frequently sought by army officials and
he is considered as the man who has
made the State Guard what it is to-day.
In addition to serving as Secretary
of Internal Affairs from 1887 to 1895
he was member of the Soldiers Or
phans' School Commission and has
been foremost in military and vet
erals affairs He is newspaper pub
Usher at Norristown, where he has his
home, and is famous throughout the
state and country as an orator. In
1896 he toured the country for McKin-
ley and has been one of the standbys
of Republican committees for many
years. No one is in more demand for
speechmaking at affairs of all kinds.
General Stewart organized the mi
lttia for Spanish War service and
formed the Guard regiments for home
service during 1898 and 1899. He is a
past master of administrative detail.
