AWAIT VERDICT IN POWER WAR Constitutionality of Federal Act Again Is Tested in Court. By Scripps-Hoicard Xewspaper Alliance ASHEVILLE, N. C„ June 19.—The most controversial river in the United States is before the federal courts again today, this time in the North Carolina mountains where it has its source. New river, which flows through Virginia and West Virginia, has been a bone of contention between government officials and the Appalachian Electric Power Company since 1925, when the company first served notice that it wanted to build a power plant, but did not want to be regulated under the federal water power act. After six years of hearings and rehearings before the federal power commission, the company took its case to the federal courts. Last March, Judge Luther B. Way, of the United States district court for the western district of Virginia sustained the position of the government. Today the United States circuit court of appeals for the fourth circuit is hearing the power company’s appeal from that decision. Final decision of the courts in the pending case will decide constitutionality of the federal water power act and right of the federal government to recapture power projects for which it issues licenses, to supervise costs of development, recapture excess profits, and supervise issuance of securities.

SHOT IN DUEL WITH GUNMAN, OFFICER DIES Lafayette Police Seek to Pin Other Crimes to Two Slayers. By United Pro* LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 19.—The death of patrolman J. Wesley Wilson, 43, spurred Lafayette officers today to renewed efforts in their attempt to link his slayers with other serious crimes. Wilson was one of three policemen wounded in a gun fight Friday night with James Richardson, 33, Nashville, Tenn., and Frank Byrd, 29, Indianapolis, bandit suspects. Richardson was wounded fatally, dying Saturday afternoon. Byrd was hurt less seriously, and physicians say he may recover. Another Critically Hurt Patrolman Paul Klinker, 30, still is in critical condition, but attendants at St. Elizabeth’s hospital said he spent a restful night and probably will pull through. He was shot in the lung and pelvis. Patrolman James McDonald, 26, third to be struck by the gunmen's bullets, was wounded only slightly and is recovering. The shooting took place across from the courthouse in downtown Lafayette when officers attempted to question the two suspects. An employe of a bank at Cullom, 111., which was robbed recently, attempted to identify Byrd and Richardson Sunday as one of the bandits. He said he thought Richardson was one of those who held him up, but was not positive about ever having seen Byrd. A car used in the Cullom robbery was found later at Fowler, Ind., near here. Girl Still Is Held Attempts also were being made to link the suspects with recent Indiana bank robberies. Ruth Edgar, 18, Frankfort, who said she had been traveling about the country with Byrd and Richardson, still is being held by Lafayette police for questioning. She has given little information of value, police said. John Richardson, Frankfort, brother of James, also is being held. He was arrested at Lake Freeman, near Monticello. Relatives of James Richardson were reported on their way here from Nashville to claim the body. Funeral services were held at 9 this morning for Patrolman Wilson. Later the body w T as to be taken to his former home at New Albany for services and burial Tuesday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WASHINGTON ST. RICH IN HISTORY

Path of Stumps, Bogs Grows to Proud Thoroughfare

Indianapolis’ streets have histories of their own. This is the first of five articles on the city’s chief downtown thoroughfares in the days of long ago. BY ARCH STEINEL Times Staff Writer STREETS are like children—freckled, knock-kneed, toothless, squirming, stumpy cr fat as butterballs. They grow up. They become sly, fast, practical, homey, busy, lazy. And the years between bring successes, failures, misfortune, good luck. Streets mark a town. New York has its Broadway, Atlanta its Peachtree, San Francisco its Market, Kansas City its Twelfth street. —And Indianapolis its Washington street. Everything from the ‘aigger” (ague, medically) to the day in 1932, when President Roosevelt’s parade honked down its busy roadway to cheers and adding machine tape, has been Washington’s birthright. It was an ugly babe. Born of a swamp mother and a forest daddy it was stumpy and sickly on its birthday in 1821. a u n RATTLESNAKES infested its wooded borders and the oil was treasured for the ailing. Cows kicked over milk buckets in its tree-stumped middle. Mud mired it in rainy seasons. A few taverns, log-houses and a store made it a village. In Dunn’s history of Indianapolis, the street is described as: Crowded with stumps, heaps of logs and hazel undergrowth spiced with brush and paw-paws. Travel along it is impossible, to cross it is difficult, and to see across it is a feat of little easier performance than looking through a stone wall.” Today, autos and pedestrians crowd it. Crossing it still is difficult on Saturdays for the infirm, and seeing across it still is like looking through a wall of stonehigh buildings. Washington was platted as the town's main street. It was called Main street in the ‘‘away back when” era, in preference to its baptismal title. Where meetings of the Indiana general assembly bring purchases of new dresses for the wives of solons in present days, so, too, did the Washington street of the 1820s look to those legislative gatherings with seven tavern keepers on its borders to assuage thirst, sleep, and talk. n a a WEARIED of stumbling over the stumps in the street, the state decided to clear it of wood and hired Lemuel Bayse to denude it of timber. Lumber was needed to build homes, but the town had no mills. Bayse decided, as the trees and stumps were of little use, that he’d roil them in a pile and burn them. He did and also his fingers, as one historian reports. Squirrels migrated to Washington street in 1823. They tried to “take” the street and ended by hanging by their tails in smokehouses. In the same year the first play, ‘‘Doctor’s Courtship,” was given in Carter’s tavern, opposite the present site of the courthouse. A single fiddle constituted the orchestra and the admission was cents. Bayse was one of the first justices of peace of the forest town. He was not learned in law and so the village wit, Nathaniel Cox, put this qustion up to Bayse: ‘‘lf a ptrson should be brought before you charged with burglary and proved guilty beyond a doubt, what would you do?” "I would fine him SIOO and make him marry the woman,” retorted Bayse. a a a THE village butcher. Wilkes Reagan, had a shop at the northwest corner of Delaware and Washington streets, the present site of the Goldstein department store. Reagan, between sales of deer steaks, also served sis justice of the peace with Obed Foote and Bayse. Foote ate roasted potatoes in the same manner as a chestnut addict. He would roast the potatoes in a fireplace in his office while hearing a case and say, ‘‘Now, Mister Pettifogger, you can proceed with your arguments while I eat my potatoes.” The covered bridge did not span White river at Washington street in those days. A ferry served as the town’s outlet on the National road to the west, with each ’’man,

woman, or horse carried across the river at a cost of 12V2 cents.” Bets could be paid off in taverns on Washington street in whisky or ferry fares. A one-half pint flask of the “dew” was equal to a ride over the river. It was cheaper to sleep than to eat. Meals were 25 cents, while lodging was half that price. a a a 'T'HE first Sunday school of the village was held by Squire Caleb Scudder on the Washington street side of the Statehouse square. Forty persons attended. Money was, needed to operate the city and build state structures and, at a lot sale in October, 1921, the site of the Claypool sold for $243.75. The northeast corner of Pennsylvania and Washington streets brought S3OO, and the northwest corner of Delaware and Washington streets brought the highest price of $560. The first schoolhouse was built at the edge of Kentucky avenue and Washington street. When Sunday school or the three R’s were not being taught, the school was occupied by sheep. They used the expansive chimney of the log house for entry. The first building of consequence aside from log structures was the state treasurer’s office at the southwest corner of Capitol avenue and Washington street, present site of the Lorraine hotel. In 1827 the population of Indianapolis was 1,066, and, according to Dunn’s history, “213 barrels of whisky and 100 kegs of gunpowder were consumed” on Washington street in hunting, duels an<* talking bouts. a a a YEARS peramubulated and, with the cutting of timber to clear Washington street, and sessions of the legislature, the town grew. Washington street kept apace. It reached the gangly age of rude clapboard shops, hoopskirts, bright ginghams, and even a circus stopped to show its “only kangaroo in captivity” on the present site of the former Pettis Dry Goods company building. Sitting-room days, with their sea-shells being tested by swains at the ears of their sweethearts while surreptitiously kissing the unused lobes, came in 1850. Richer homes sported gas lights.

Ice cream was a wild dissipation. Washington street stores opened at 6 a. m., and called it a day twelve hours later. Old men stood on the street corners in blue swal-low-tail coats, brass buttons, and plug hats discussing politics and Louis Kossuth. Kossuth was the Hungarian general and politician who visited the town in 1852 to raise funds for his country. Medals were struck off in his honor and sold on Washington street. “All bought but the Irish, and Kossuth left town with his fellowers, taking SI,OOO paid for in Hungarian notes and keepsakes and owing a big liquor bill at the Capitol House,” debunks one historian. a a a TN a third-story den of wormeaten furniture, where the Pembroke arcade stands today, The Indianapolis Maennerchor was organized with the first concert given May 28, 1855. Gottfried and Hubert Recker were two of its organizers. Street lamps girded Washington’s waist. The Bates House, on the present site of the Claypool, was the belt of gayety for reels and polkas, dinners and speeches. Horses and buggies rumbled over the street’s rough macadam. Abraham Lincoln, on his way to the White House, spoke from a balcony of the Bates to a crowd. A bronze tablet marks the site today. Stephen A. Douglas, his enemy in debate and politics, followed him in an oratorical flight from the same hotel later in the year. Drums sounded. The Civil war flooded Washington street with soldiers. Blue mingled with the gray—the gray of prisoners being brought to Camp Morton’s prison.

killer; Dion Boucicault. and Sallie St. Clair—called the leader of the strip-parade in tossing off all but tights—played old “Met.” To this day a story of the old days of “meller-dramer” is linked up with the Metropolitan’s presentation of “Under the Gaslight” in the early 70 s. “Under the Gaslight” was one of those thrillers where the hero is bound hand and foot to a railroad track by the villain. Just as the hero idled along the train tracks near the rail station and the villain awaited him behind a tattered canvas tree, a galleryite could stand the suspense no longer and he yelled: “Hey, you damn fool, don’t you see that feller behind the tree?” a a a /''VNE of the sports of the town was to take a trip on the old side-wheeler Governor Morton, that moored at the Washington street bridge on White river. The Morton’s bar did a $l6B business on one pleasure jaunt. It sank Aug. 6, 1866, while moored near the bridge. The watchman was asleep. Two-horse cars came to Washington street, then one-horse, and then mule cars. Business buildings expanded with the 70s and 80s. The street walked westward and eastward. The Trade Palace, now L. S. Ayres & Cos., was one of the street's department stores. Just as stagnant as its swamps in 1820 it seemed to about-face in the 90s with growth and city buildings. a a a ELECTRIC cars came during the 90’s. War trod again in 1898, but left the street with naught but style changes. Buildings soared upward with the years. Property prices soared, too. Health of citizenry improved. The street became a city’s crossroads to everywhere. Now the swamp buys and sells millions yearly. And no longer is the song of the ague sung with its words. "Nowadays feller Bits the chills.

RECOVERY ACT SPURS UNIONS IN HUGE DRIVE Thousands of Members Are Obtained: Trend Is Heartening. By Scripps-Hrnrnrii .Yncupevr Allinnca WASHINGTON. June 19.—With approval of the administration, union labor leaders have set afoot the biggest membership campaign in recent years to deal with employers under the new recovery act. Both the Norris-La Guardia antiinjunction law and the recovery act put the federal government, for the first time, behind the freest sort of collective bargaining. The administration. particularly Labor Secretary Frances Perkins, hopes that labor will prepare itself through strong organizations to work with employers' groups under the act. The A. F. of L. building here teemed with new activity as reports of organization campaigns began lo roll in from industrial centers. Heavy Increase Reported The reports generally are heartening. Aside from the complaint that hosiery mills in North Carolina and Pennsylvania are discharging union organizers, the reports indicate a heavy increase in union membership in the last fortnight. John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, has sent men into such formerly forbidden states as West Virginia. Alabama, and the Carolinas. He reports an increased membership of 40.000 coal miners. The lumbermen's proposed code recognizing unionism has stirred j lumber workers of the northwest I with new zeal. Many new unions generally are ; being formed along industrial rather j ;han craft lines. Form “Apparel Group” One significant development is the formation of an "apparel group.” that includes the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, headed by Sidney Hillman; the United Garment j Workers; Hosiery. Necktie, Hat, Cap, Millinery, and Lady Garment Workers; and other unions. The 1927 A. F. of L. plan to unionize the auto workers in an industrial union is being revived. According to President William Green, workers whose jobs lend themselves to organization by industries will be so organized. These include the rubber, coal, steel, auto and lumber groups.
