SUPER-POVER DEVELOPMENT PLAN Unitied System and Creation of New Resources Projected | Washingten, D, €, Aug, 18.~The | increasing electrical power demands of the northeastern area of the United Ptates, if they are to be supplied on | an sconomical and adequate basis, | necemitate the extension of intercon nection between the different syst h the bullding eof | ecentralized, steam-electrie planta located at strate. gic points and the development of the | hydro electrie prejects, accord- ‘ 0 the conclusions ched In the ort of the engineering sub.commit- tee of the Northeast Superpower com- mittee made publie today at the de- partment of commerce, Herbert Hoaver is chalrman of the committee, These recommendations, in the eommittee's opinion will mean the saving of over 50,000,000 tons of coal every year; production of power l" lesa cost; security In power supplies | against interruption with s losses through disturbed production and un- | employment; larger reserves of power | through which other industrial de. | velopment need not lag, awaiting | power construction; electrification of | transportation with increase in fits | efficiency; extension of power uses to | the farm and saving of human ef. fort, | ‘The present report is an eutgrowth of & conference held in N York city last October, with the consent of President Coolidge, between Secretary Hoover and the chairman of the state utilities commission of the 11 northe eastern states. This conference led to the formation of the northeastern Superpower committee, composed of representatives of the states and of | government. While others gaged on the legal questions involved, an engineer subcommittee undertook a comprehensive survey of the technical aspects of superpower development -in the states affected. Thelr report, now given to the public will be referred to a meeting of the full committee to be held some time next fall, Conecticut in Group The survey of power facllities and power needs made by the engineer subcomnyittee covers the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec- ticut, New York, New Jersey, Penn- sylvania, Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia. There has ben Included also some reference to the states of Ohio, Virginia and West Vir- ginia, since under certain circum- stances power in these regions will be contributory. This whole region comprises one of several power areas into which the United States naturally divides itself, according to the engineers. Forty per cent of the country’s population, con- suming 50 per cent of the nation's electrical power production and oper- ating 60 per cent of the primary power of the whole country is con- centrated in this particular area. The use of electrical power therein has been increasing at the rate of ten per cent per annum, and in the commit- tee's opinion the demand will reach 30.8 billion kilowatt hours in 1930, “The demand for electrical power within this area is supplied from .water and from coal,” the report says. “The present developed water power is about 8,036,000 horsepower; the total potential water power avalilable 90 per cent of the time is 5,426,000 horsepower., This is increased to 7,- 914,000 horsepower available 50 per cent of the time. ""At present, we have daveloped about 38 per cent of the total water power ultimately avallable in this area. But practical development of water power will probably be such that not over 25 per cent of the total power demand in any year can be met from this source. Principal depen- dence, therefore, must be placed upon generation of power from coal, Nearly 200 Power Companies ‘“There are in this area nearly 200 different utility companies engaged in power production and distribution, many under common ownership. Of these about 45 per cent are technical~ ly Interconnected but only about 8 per cent of the interconnections have ca- pacity large enough for effective inter- change of power. Great economies in cost of production can be secured from the early effective interconnec- tion of these utility systems, in some cages Involving larger and systematic high voltage transmission.” Such {interconnection, according to the engineers, will lead to the reduc- tion of the amount of reserve equip- ment, “better average load factor through pooling of daily and seasonal load variation and wide diversifica- tion of use through increased indus- | trial consumption,” and more mecursty in power supply against Interruption by many causes. It will also mean that available water power in the area can bs much more advanta- geously applied to carry base or peak load as local conditions may from the seasonal flow of streams, and thus bring into practical use a larger quan- tity of water power than would oth- | erwise be possible. Finany, power | would be avallable more quickly to meet growing demands. i The report goes on to point ont that | the economie generation and distribu- tion of power vitally requires that it | be produced in large plants. Provent practice indicates that such should be constructed with capacities of from 200.000 to 501,000 kilowatts, nsing generatora of not loss | than 20,000 kilowatts each. Bocanss great plants of this character require | immense quantitics of water for eon- denaation purposes, thelr location will | be controlled by considerations of water supply. A study of availahle water supply has led the engincers to | the conclusion that the location of | such plants will accordingly we pe- stricted to the seaboard, the CGireat Lakes, the Ohio River and ita tribu- taries, and the Susquehanna river. Tse of Rivers. Turning from steam plante to a fis- | eussoin of water power, the snmineers dnclare that the large demand afforde an immediate market for the chaaper | water power from the larger projccts and renders their development bnth urgent and negesmary. At the same time the larg® ¥ of steam in the tatal | | united In marriage at ares makes possibie the wee of the scasonal flon relief of steam and thus enabies more com I plete willization of the Fivers than in {any other past of the Unlisd States | Interconnestion in solne cases will convest secondary hydre pewer inle primary povwer and in elher easvs will enable dally peak loads Lo be carried on hydre.

J,, Aug. 18.—A resolution condemning the injection of “the odious issue of religion into politics and public forums of the na- tion,” and terming the Ku Klux Klan as a “hooded cobra which threatens to strike its polsoned fangs into the very vitals of our nation’s free insti- tutions,” was adopted by the annual meeting of the national boards of the ancient order of Hibernlans and the Ladies’ Auxillary at the Traymere yesterday. Other resolutions passed reaffirmed alleglance to the Pope in matters per- taining to the church and the loyalty of the Irish race to the government of the United States. The session marked the conclusion of the conference.

Bargent, wife of a wealthy lock manufacturer of New Haven, Conn,, were stolen from the boudoir of Mrs. Bargent in her home here Saturday night, it became known last night when police broadcast a de- scription of the stolen jewelry. The theft was sald to have been commit- ted by & man who climbed to an up- per window by means of a tree while the family was at dinner, and then swung himself to the ground and disappeared. Police, working with private detec- tives, were seeking clues which might lead to the aprpehension of the thief who, it is believed, may be a member of a gang operating here.

Eskowsky was shot twice in the back and then fired two bullets into his head with his own plstol after he had been cornered iIn a thicket near Grant City by a posse of policemen and residents. He had been sought for some days by the authorities on complaints made by several boys in the neighborhood who charged him with annoying them. Eskowsky, about 36 years old, unkempt and ec- centric in his actions, lived a hermit- like existence in a hut on Graham beach, Staten Island, the police say. He was recognized by a boy who notifiled Salvatore Pace, a gasoline dealer, the latter borrowed a pistol and overtaking Eskowsky, ordered him to proceed to a police booth. The hermit complied meekly but after a few moments had passed, snatched a pistol from his pocket and shot at Pace, who returned the fire. Both of them missed and Eskowsky disap- peared in the woods. George Curry, another resident, came to the aid of Pace but as he approached the thic- ket, Eskowsky fired on him also with- out effect. 'The police were notifled and eight patrolmen rushed to the scene. Joined by an armed civillan posse, they beat through the woods shooting at the A. J. FULLER could have a plcture of the event, The groom with pride exclaims that he is still an “18.year-older" and he tiits his corncob pipe at a wicked angle when he talks. “I have been smoking for 86 years" ho proudly boasts, “I really smoke, |too. Use a whole pack of tobacco a day." Mrs, Fuller is content to let new husband talk for the family, but says long life is best attainable through the old tradition: “Farly to bed and early to rise.” darting form of the fugitive, who an- swered the fire repeatedly, Eskow- sky's hiding place was surrounded eventually and after a barrage had been lald down, he was seen to stag- ger into a clearing, two bullets in his back. As the posse closed in on him, the hermit placed his pistol to his temple and fired twice. Although the police sald they had no direct evidence to connect Eskow- sky with the McDonnell murder they stated that his habits were similar to those of the man who had committed the crime.
