APRIL 4,1922.

SOON TO BUILD POWER PLANT General Contracts Awarded for Hydro-Electric Development. Through Harry Held, Tice president of |the Indiana nydro-Electric Power Company, is announced today the awarding of a general contract covering the first of four hydro-electric developments contemplated on the Tippecanoe River in Indiana. The contract let covers a plant of 5.500 horsepower capacity at Norway, White County, Indiana. Constructs* work will start at once and the plant is to be completed and In operitlon by the end of the year. The property and rights of the company consist of four power sites located at Norway, Tioga; Oakdale and Springboro. The ultimate development will be 29,000 horsepower and call for an investment o fapproxlmately $5,000,000. The hydro-electric developments will be operated by the Interstate Public Service Company, which has large electric light and power electric railway properties in Indiana and it, with the Central Illinois Public Service Company, which serves 190 Illinois communities with electric light and power, have entered into contracts for the purchase of the entire electrical output. Samuel Insull of Chicago is president of the Indiana Hydro-Electric Power Company, whose general offices are in Indianapolis, Ind. The Middle West Utilities Company is interested in the big project. The Mansfield Engineering Company of Indianapolis was awarded the general contract for the building of the Norway plant. The contract for water wheels went to the S. Morgan Smith Company; the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company will supply the gener-. ators and switchboards; the outdoor substation structure contract was awarded to the Delta-Star Electric Company, and the outdoor 33.000-volt, 7,500 k. w. transformer contract was given to the Pittsburgh Transformer Company. Legion Notes When the Paris Figaro published a cartoon against the payment of the expenses of the United States Army of Occupation the American Legion in France registered a healthy kick. The picture showed a doughboy pushing aside Marianne as the latter is about to take a plate of gold from Germany. Every Chamber of Commerce in the State of Washington has voted in favor of the American Legion’s plan for adjusted compensation. When John A. Isham of Boise, Idaho, discovered that Oscar Weymlre, his old bunkmate in the Army, had not paid bis American Legion dues, he decided to visit Weymlre. The latter was trapping 300 miles away, but Ishain made the trip by foot, horse and skates and brought in the dues. The strength that won the Argonne and St. Mlhiei is being used to guard New York against pay roll and bank messenger robberies. The American Legion is furnishing ex-soldiers who go heavily armed with the men and women wno earn- huge sums through the business sections. Hundreds of ex-gobs who raked mines out of the North Pea during the World IVar want to re-enllst, but In Prohibition Commissioner Haynes’ ‘’hooch Navy.” Four submarine chasers are being put in commisslone at Baltimore. Md.. and when completed will form a navy that will wage war on rum runners. b A discovery that Harvard, Neb., didn't Fave a way of getting the latest news on the weather, crops and current events caused an old Navy radio operator to get busy. Now the American Legion is issuing ‘‘hot off the wires” news to the Harvard citizenry. “If the legion wants the flag tak*-n down, they can hire a couple of steeplejacks and take it down," was the answer the board of commissioners made to the Littleton (Col.) American Legion post when it protested the improper care being given the flag on the courthouse. Nothing loath, a couple of old mastclimbers turned the trick. Their own hero's death from old war wounds has caused a Des Moines (Iowa) family to send a request to the American Legion for an ex-service man for adoption. War wounds and nervousness laid to shell shock is believed responsible for the act of Ralph W. Harrison of Maplewood, N. J., who committed suicide by shooting himself with the army revolver he had carried In France. The American Legion rifle team of Golden, Col., composed entirely of men whose rifles played a part in the World War battles, has issued a chailange to any rills team in the United Stares, the scores to he telegraphed to each team of the end of each range.

When a carnival pitched its tents on his hotel property and an appeal to the authorities proved of no avail, Charles E. Young, Sr.. St. Augustine, Fla.. used the old sea method or showing distress and hung the American flag on hostelry upside down. The American Legion protested the act and Young publicly apologized. The Chicago (111.) board of aldermen has voted to send a delegation of five of Its members to Washington to help In the fight for the American Legion's bill for adjusted compensation. " Alexander Loehwitzky, a former Russian count and a major In the American Army during the World war, has sent an appeal to the New York American Legion asking that a Job be found for him “doing anything.” He speaks eight languages fluently. Everything he had was lost in the s>an Antonio flood. Because the ex-soldter doesn't speak German and the man he named does. Representative Edward Voigt, of the Second Wisconsin district, refused the renuest'Af the American Legion that Clyde Ellis, World War veteran, be appointed postmaster at Elkhart Lake. Wls., Representative Voigt has informed citizens who favored Ellis. When a tornado struck Corinth. Miss., the mayor called on the American Legion post to" furnish an armed patrol to prevent pillaging. For hours after the catrastrophe the ex-service men were on the Job In the stricken areas. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis flatly refused to become an honorary member of the American Legion when the honor was offered him following his speech before the Mobile (Ala.) post. “So man who hgs not the tide of a World War veteran Should be permitted a place on the rail of th“ legion,” he said. “I would give almost anything I have for that title.” Husband Arrested for Killing Wife BALTIMORE, April 4.—Edward T. Mercer, husband of Mrs. Ruth Mercer, whose disfigured body was found Sunday in the waters of Chesapeake Bay, at Ocean View, a summer resort near Norfolk, Vs., was arrested here early today and Is being held at police heailquartera for the Ocean View authorities.
