There are many problems involved

CRESTER, Pa, Nov. S.-The
home and store Of Charles Witomski.
on Powhattan avenue, Essington.
was fired yesterday. for the second
time within two months, by supposed
enemies of Witomski. in what is be-
lieved to be the result OF a boot
leggers' war in the neighborhood Of
Essington and sections of Tinicum
township. Stock valued at several
thousand dollars was DESTROYED
WitomsId was in New York making
purchases for his store, and when his
wife and children were taken from
the building by fremen they were
almost overcome by smoke.
According to a statement made by
Witomsh, following the first attempt
to destroy his property. he was in
partnership with several Essington
bootleggers, but because Of the ac-
tivity OF Federal agents he withdrew
his interest. He said he was in
formed by letter from other members
of the bootlegging concern that they
would get him." but paid no atten-
ton TO the threats. He conducts a
clothing store in connection with his
place of residence.

8 Power DAMS

BALTIMORE. Nov. S.-Rumors
are being heard in financial and
other circles that the Susquehanna
Power Company is getting ready to
develop its property on the Sus-
quehanna river and that II soon will
begin the construction OF a big dam
just above the Conowingo bridge.
The company owns a long stretch
OF land on both sides of the Susque-
hanna, stretching from a short dis
tance above tidewater at Port De-
poslt, to the property OF the Penn
sylvania Water and Power Company.

Interested in the proposition. 1t Is
understood he has interested a num-
ber OF New York financial institu-
lions in the project and that a large
part of the money required for the
first dam and the installation Of the
first generating units viii come from
that source.
1t is understood that the company
proposes to build three dams Tho
first will be above the Conowingo
bridge and placing it~fn that locality
will obviate the necessity or re-
moving the bridge and building It at
a higher elevation. A dam in this To-
cation would enable the company to
back water TO the edge OF the Penn
sylvania Water and Power Com
pany's property. and would flood a
large area OF country. Later It is ex-
pected to build another dam further
1eT~a the river. and ultimately a
third, a short distance above Port
Deposit.
In this manner all the power OF
the river in Maryland and for a short
distance into Pennsylvania will be
urized and It is said this will pro-
dice much more electrical energy
than is being attained now by the
Pennsylvania Water and Power
Company.
