The French 'ennis federation, as was the case last year. has felt itself unable to make a choice among them for the No. ], No. 2 and No, 3 positions. They point out that LaCoSte, despite ris defeats of Gerald Patterson and OHara Wood in the Davis cup matches. cannot be ranked higher than Borotra,. who besides his own work at Wimbledon defeated La- Coste twice; also that Cochet, who defeated LaCoste and Borotra during 1924, cannot be ranked lower than either of them, especially as he was a fnalist in the Olympic competition.
 All three of the leading players are rated al minus n.

DENIES WIFE IS INSANE
Physician Says Mrs. Barnes, Defend ant In Divorce Action Is Not
 Suffering From Delusions,

Mrs. Lillian s, Barnes of Norbrith, Pa, introduced Dr. Frederick T. simpson of Hartford in the superior court at Hartford yesterday in her defense against Herbert c. Barnes of this city who Is claiming divorce on grounds of dcserton, while Mrs. Barnes has brought a counter suit, charging cruelty, Mir. Barnes claims that the cruelty charges are based on mental delusion. but Dr. Slmp- son testified yesterday that the wife was sane.
 Mrs, Barnes had her husband ar- rested on serious charge on Aug ust @l 1912, This charge was based on story told by the Barnes son 10 Mrs Elizabeth l.. Derby, with whom Mrs. Barnes lives. Mir. Barnes claims that this story was imagined by the child, but pr. Simpson testi- fled that 1t was beyond the concep- ton of so young n child, the boy be- Ing seven years old at the time.
 Ralph o. Wells, attorney for Mir. Barnes, cross-eNamined the doctor, who said that a man might indulge privately in acts of perversion with out exhibiting traces of them to his friends. Attorney Wells asked him if q Dr. JekiIi and Mir Hyde case was an everyday affair, and the doc tor answered that while he would not say that, such condition could exist.
 The evidence was concluded yes terday, but the lawyers will argue the case on December 23 at the re- quest of Judge Newell Jennings, who has presided over the trial,

WATER DEPT. CAN'T
 FIX ITS SALARIES
Request Rejected by Committee
 on Charter Revision

An effort on the part of the board of water commissioners to secure by charter amendment complete con- trol over the salaries of It's office employees, met with 8 storm Of ob- .iection when Chairman W. L, Ha, ch of the water board explained his proposition to the charter revision committe last night.
 MT. Hatch explained his depart ment has several employees who gre not receiving as much as thcY woud elsewhere and fl has been difficult to secure increases for them. He argued that the board is permitted to set wages for day lahorers and in some instances, the workmon receive more pay than those under whom they labor.
 Ex-Msyor Gorge 4. Qnigley felt ,t would be a bad move and would bring a flood Of requests from other departments for the same privilege. Other committeeman argued that there are several Departments cf the city government which have 'he same problem with workers receiving more than their foremeu. but that is a condition of 'he labor market. they felt, Chairman Hal and other mem bors of the committee spoke against inc proposed amendment and no words were spoken in Its favor.
 The committee favored assess ments on new water mains on I hasis of actual costs for eight inch mains. In some instances large distribution pipes are placed when eight inch mains would benefit the properties abuting in the same degree, but the larger pipes are needed for the citv's water system. IL would be unfair to tax the property owners for more than they actually needed, hence the change, Mir. Hatch explained. He favored elimination Of clause which restricts boards 10 purchases of less than $500 withpg, approval of the council. and also favored al- lowing the water board to lease or sell properties under its cortroJwith- out permission of the city mleting

 The first lord of the admiralty, ". C.
