Engineers Urge
Thorough Study
of Flood Areas
Would Determine Hydro-Electric
Power Possibilities of All Im
portant Kiver in U. S.
Washington, Dec, 27. Legislation
by congress directing the united
! geological survey to make a thorough
study of all important rivers in this
. country to ascertain their flood dan
gers and hydro-electric power pos
sibilities, was urged by the American
engineering council in a. statement
issued Monday.
I Under the council's plan the fed
I eral government would compile the
data for the benefit of all the people
, Instead of a few powerful hydro
J electric corporations acquiring , the
! information for use in "grabbing"
valuable sites, the whole country
.would be informed on this natural -resource.
j Only through the assembling of
complete data can safety of life and
' property be assured, according to
' Dean Dexter S. Kimball of. Cornell
' university. He is a president of the
council.
Will Discuss Issue.
The whole issue of hydro-elec
tric power and flood control will be
threshed out at a meeting of the
council here January 10 and 11, it
was announced. Dean Kimball said
"The large loss of life and prop
erty caused during 1927 by unpre
cedented floods In the Mississippi val
ley. New England and other parts of
the country, has naturally led to
very 6erious consideration of means
for the more effective control and
utilization of surface water.
"In such control and utilization
engineers and others have been
greatly handicapped by lack of basic
facts, especially with respect to the
magnitude of flood discharges and
the average interval of time between
flood of any given magnitude. f
Legislation Proposed.
"There has been need for more in
formation. To be of value, such in
formation must be collected over a
period of several years. This infor
mation is also needed in connection
with the design, construction, oper
ation and administration of all works
for utilizing the surface waters of
the country."
Legislation calling for such a sur
vey by the geological survey has been
introduced by Representative New
ton (R) of Minnesota. Dean Kim
ball paid:
"The geological survey has been
selected for this task because it has
the authorized and recognized fed
eral agency for collecting and pub
lishing data in regard to natural re
sources." Omaha Bee-News.

GIVEN A DUAL CHRISTMAS
San Juan, Porto Rico, Dec 26.
Observant parents here assert the is
land children are the world's luck
iest and the only ones enjoying what
amounts to a double Christmas on
Dec. 25 and Jan. 6. The latter is
known as Three Kings' day com
memorating gifts by the wise men to
the Child in the manger.
Christmas, as other than a relig
ious celebration, was unknown here
until Porto Rico became a part of the
United States. Santa Claus was ac
cepted as part of . the Americanizing
process, the children seizing upon
him as their particular friend In ad
dition to . the three kings and now
indulgent parents, find themselves
helpless before this new tradition.'

SUFFERS FROM ACCIDENT
M. E. Bushnell, one of the well i
known residents , of the vicinity of
South Bend, was the victim of a(
very severe accident the last of the
week that will make it very pain-1
ful for him to get around for some
time.. Mr. Bushnell was cutting
down a tree at his place and as he
was busily engaged in chopping the
tree it snddenly fell and caught Mr.
Bushnell, the blow knocking him
down and catching him beneath the
tree with the result that he suffered
the fracture of several ribs from the
force of the fall and the. weight of
the tree. He was otherwise badly
bruised up altho it was not thought
that he suffered internal injuries.
Warden to Use
Gas on the Mean
Actors at Ten
Warden Guards Against Repitition
of Attempt a Week Ago on Part
of Negro to Kill Two.
While there is no way to prevent
the occasional smuggling of some
thing to be used as a weapon, War
den Fenton of the state prison has
determined upon drastic action to be
used between period of smuggling
and that of intended use. His guards
will carry a bit of gas with them
and. when necessary, will use it.
The prison is equipped with var
ious types of gas hurling instru
ments. Gas shells or bombs pre
sumably, however, are reserved for
attempted outbreaks or for mutiny.
Eight days ago Sam Lucky, crazed
nego and life termer, tried to mur
der Captain of the Guard Claude
Winters and Charles Lodge, cell
keeper. He made an unexpected at
tack with a sharp knife and came
near accomplishing his purpose. The
gas shell in the hands of the guard
will be for such customers as Lucky.
The negro, it has since develop
ed, planned the attack sometime
prior to its execution. Another in
mate has just informed the warden
that Lucky asked him if they would
electrocute a man who killed a guard
if the killer had once been in a
state hospital for the insane. Lucky
has been twice transferred to the
Hastings hospital.
"They think that if they show
streaks of insanity, they are immune
from punishment regardless of what
they .do." said the warden. "This
man Lucky, for instance, is about
one-third insane but two-thirds
'onery.' It is unfair to ask those in
charge of state hospitals to care for
such as he. It is dangerous. He has
tried murder too many times. What
we want is a ward for the criminally
insane. Hereafter when one of these
so-called insane ''inmates refuses to
leave his cell, be 'may stay there un
til he i9 ready to' leave." .
Speaking of the difficulty of pre
venting the smuggling of articles
that may be turned into implements
of assault, the warden called atten
tion to the fact that from 300 to 400
men In the factory are necessarily
equipped with scissors. Altho the
points of these Implements are filed
off, they retain- some of the qual
ities of a crude weapon. Knives also
are used In the. factory and both
knives and forks appear upon the
table at meal time. On one or two
occasions forks have been converted
into cell keys.
Lucky still Insists, the warden
said, that the inmate named by him
in the first instance, furnished the
knife with which he. Lucky, made
murderous assault. He said that he
had the knife some time and that
when he was transferred to the hos
ptal he gave It to the other inmate
to keep. This fellow, he said, re
cently returned it. Neither inmate
had any right to possession of such
a weapon.
Captain Winters left the hospital
Friday. Charles Lodge, the guard,
was released some' days ago.

.
From Wednesday pally
I Tne cty council fresh from their
Christmas activities and nutiiiKH
buskled down to the regular tfrtud
amj found a great deal of biisiii'n8-
! to await their attention.
The Plattsmouth Water company
had a communication before the
council in regard to the new rates
that, were to be placed in operation
under the recent decision of .the
United States district court, and re
questing that the city council make
the rates in conformity with the
ruling of the court that the water
company secure an adequate return
on their plant. Relative to the wa
ter case it was stated by City At
torney J. A. Capwell that the mo
tion for a new trial in the case had
not been heard, but that the motion
would not supercede the judgment
of the court as to the rates unless
the city put up bond covering the
amount involved. Mayor Johnson
stated that the rate making power
lay with the city council and that
the matter should be givenv to the
fire and water committee to examine
the matter of rates to arrive at a ,
conclusion of an adequate rate for all !
concerned, on motion this was so
ordered. I
A communication was also received !
from the bonding company that had
the protection of the National Bank
of Commerce of Chicago from theft
and in which the informed the coun-j
cil that coupons of the city bonds!
in the bank had been among the
other papers stolen and that they!
wished to prepare'a bond that might1
protect the city and also permit the'
company and bank to receive the ;
recognition of the coupons as the
coupons are still missing. This mat
ter was referred to the judiciary
committee in conjunction with the
city attorney to investigate and re
port. The notice was given the city of
the fact that the compensation policy
of the city for its employes would
expire in January and that the initial
payment on the policy of $42 was due
if the city desired the policy to be
renewed. On motion of Councilman
Luschinsky, S. S. Davis the local
agent of the bonding company, was
notified to have the policy fixed up
for the ensuing year.
The city council also received the
noticeof the receipts of the mandate
in the case of Jesse Brady vs. the
City of Plattsmouth in which the
city would be taxed $602. 71 for the
costs and expenses of their case.
City Attorney Capwell stated as the
original suit had been for some-1900
that the city had saved close to 300
in carrying the case to the supreme
court. On motion the amount of the
judgment was ordered paid.
In response to the request made at
a previous sessions of the council,
the city clerk. Mrs. Minnie Ketelsen,
reported that there were seven
parties who had not paid the oc
cupation tax for 1927 but all 'but
three of these were out of business
and there was no opportunity of col
lecting the tax. The members of the
council felt well pleased that the
city clerk had been able to collect
practically all of this tax for the
year and showed the splendid effort
that the lerk was making to get in
this money. -
The lighting committee through
Chairman Highfield reported that
they had investigated the lamp post
on high echooj hill that had been
broken recently and found that it
had been repaired in proper shape
and that the bill for the same had
been turned ever to the party respon
sible and would be settled.
The question of the payment for
the broken globes at several places
along the electrolier system was
again brought up by Councilman
Claude Smith who urged that there
be some steps taken to have this
amount collected. It was finally de
cided to effect a settlement with one
of the parties Involved and which
was left in the hands of the city at
torney and the city clerk. !
City Attorney Capwell reported .
$25 had been collected from delin-j
quent fines and which had been
placed in the hands of the police .
judge to help settle up the cases '
where the parties that were released
on promise of paying their fines in
installments had neglected to do so.
Others would be gotten after at once
the city attorney stated.
Councilman Kunsmann of the
streets, alleys and bridges committee
urged the placing of a guard rail
at 15th and Oak street where a new
concrete culvert and fill had been
placed the past summer and where
it was badly needed for protection !
and which it was decided to have In
vestigated and looked Into.
The matter of parking cars in that
section of Main street that has been
narrowed by the creation of the;
parking In the center of the street, ;
was brought up and councilmen
stated that several complaints had
been made as to the inability of
parties to get through with cars and
especially in the sleety weather,
i without danger of injuring their cars
or those parked along that part of
: the street. The matter was placed
' in the hands of the chiem of police to
j look into the matter. - ;
! City Attorney J. A. Capwell brief
I ly discussed the case in which tin
i city had secured a Judgment against
the bondsmen of the First National
bank for city money that had been
i deposited in that financial institu
; tion. Mr. Capwell stated that the
f Judgment had been so prepared as
to give the city the opportunity of
; realizing on the dividend that the
