ELWOOD BORE TWO NAMES IN DAYS First Known as Quincy, Later as Duck Creek. Bu United Press ELWOOD, Ind., Oct. 4—Few Indiana citizens and few residents of Elwood —one of the most progressive little cities in Indiana really know the city’s history. Elv rood at one time was merely a cross-roads and did not give any indication of developing into the progressive city that it is today. In 1852 William Barton opened a general store in the immediate vicinity of Main and Anderson streets, then only a cross-roads, and one year later James Anderson, J. B. Frazier and Mark Simmons laid the village out as a town and named it Quincy. Because the name conflicted with another Indiana town, the village was re-christened and this time called Duck Creek. But Anally the town became too large for its title and was converted into the city of Elwood, in 1869. No Mail Carriers William Barton, who opened the general store in the earlier history of the city, was the first postmaster and the postoffice was in one corner of his store. The people at that time had to call for their mail at the postoffice because there were no mail-carriers. Elwood became incorporated as a town in 1872, Houston Clendenen, G. W. Hupp and John Ross were trustees; J. H. Hunter, clerk; George Ross, treasurer, and J. M. Parsons, marshal. At the time of its incorporation Elwood had two churches, First

Boomed by Gas The city grew slowly until natural gas was discovered in 1887 and during the next few years Elwood took great strides in its development. The population increased and it was incorporated as a city in 1891 with four wards. The first election was held in Elwood June 9, 1891, and W. A. De Hority was the first mayor. The first electrical transportation appeared in Elwood when street cars were put on the streets in 1893 and the early nineties saw organization of fire and police departments. , The American Sheet and Tinplate plant is the largest industry in the city now and when operating at full blast affords employment to 3,000 men and women, The largest active volcano in the world is Kilauea in the Hawaiian Islands.

STATES UNITE IN FIGHT FOR RIVERJOWER Private Interests to Face Boulder Dam Battle Before Congress. BY RUTH FINNEY DENVER, Oct. 4.—ln the long war for possession of the Colorado river, no more intensive engagement has taken place than is being waged at the Conference of Governors from the seven western States through which the river flows. Although the conference has been threatened daily with disruption, it enters its fifth week wtih settlement of the many disputes involved apparently nearer than ever before. If it succeeds, these States will present a united demand next winter for the Swing-Johnson Boulder Dam bill and will have only private power interests to oppose before Congress. Seek to Balk Agreement Those elements in the different States who want to see the river privately controlled are working strenuously to prevent agreement. Their fight has taken the form largely of attempts to rouse the States to extravagant claims ot State rights as against the Federal Government. "The fact that they have not succeeded is due more than anything else to the strength exhibited by the Swing-Johnson bill last winter, and a desire on the part of the States to obtain what concrete benefits they can for themselves by agreeing on allocation of water and power before that bill is passed. Arizona's demand for revenue from Boulder Dam, if it is built by the Government, is the chief

problem before the conference now, /and Nevada, irv which part of the srtucture will be built, has joined this movement. Want Prior Right Federal officials already have said they would net agree to Imposition of fa State tax upon a Government owned dam. • * Arizona, therefore, is demanding that she and Nevada be given a prior right to all the power generated, and allowed to resell it at a profit. California fears the project cannot be made financially sound if too much burden is placed on the power, and wants it sold in open market, with small blocs reserved for use by Arizona and Nevada. Conferees are trying to find some middle ground that will give Arizona and Nevada a reasonable income in lieu of taxes, without endangering the plan to refinance the project, assuring the Federal Government return of all funds it expends. English railways run faster trains than American railways. In 1924 ten English trains were running on schedules faster than the fastest American schedule.

Most drastic of the changes to the State’s penal code in this program was the “Habitual Criminal Act.” Fashioned after the Baumes (New York) law, and similar to laws just passed in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Colorado, this law places the "repeater” felon outside the pale, i In California henceforth parole is denied the “four time loser'” entirely. If convicted a fourth time of any felony, he must serve the rest of his days in State prison. In the case of the “three-time loser,” certain felonies are specified in his record and, if convicted twice of any of these, he must serve at least twelve years in the penitentiary on his third conviction.

PAGE 7

“If he has been convicted twice of robbery, burglary, violent rape, arson, murder, assault with murderous intent, bribery, perjury and subordination thereof, train wrecking* felonious receipt of stolen goods or felonious assault with a deadly weapon, he must be sentenced to life with no parole benefits until ha has served twelve years.
