BREWER LAUDS
SUPER POWER
STATION IDEA
Tells Richmond ROtarians It's
Solution for State
Needs.
Special to The Times.


TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 21.-Cut-
ting the cost Of power by establishing
central stations at which coal is used
and then transport the energy thereby
over wires was the theory which Jo-
seph II. Brewer, president of the Indi-
ana Electric Corporation, propounded be-
fore a meeting of the Rotary Club here
today. Mr.. Brewer said in Indiana there
was no water power which could be
seriously considered as a sole means Of
furnishing energy and asserted that In
Indiana the people depended on doal
and upon a super power system and
proposed the adoption OF that method In
this State.
why not go ahead logically and con-
struct super stations, set down at the
pit mouth (of the mine) putting the
cost of coal transport, the exingencies
of transportation, the uncertainty of de-
livery, the Irregularities Of mine supply
and all the other difficulties of industry
to one side, and substituting for them
what seems to be the logical conditions 2"
Mr. Brewer asked.
He pointed out the independa bility of
mine production OF energy with its IN
certainties of obtaining cars, and strongly
recommended as the one saving system
the installation OF the superb power sta
lions.
In summing up his talk, Mr.. Brewer
emphatically declared:
1T Is the natural development of the
supply of electric energy from a single
source OF power. 1t promises cheaper
methods Of production, cheaper costs TO
industry, cheapened production, greater
resultant consumption more business
and more profits to every one, cOmplet-
ing the cycle Of Industrial progress"

CONNECTICUT AND MERREMACK
 RIVERS OUT OF THEIR BANKS

Boston, April 13.-The two principal rivers of New England, the Connecticut and the Merrimack-were still out of their banks tonight at many points with consequent damage as waters swollen by melting snows and recent rains rushed toward the sea
 The Merrimack, at Manchester, N. H., higher than it has been in a quarter century, was flooding mill cellars menac- ing river bank camps and forcing evac- uation of both. Farther north, at Con- cord, it was still rising with lowiands fast becoming lakes, roadways under five feet of water and the Daniel Webster highway partly submerged.
 The Connecticut had apparently pass ed the crest of the present freshet and was receding. In the wake of the waters, however, near Bellows Falls, Vt. were left ashed out~lower floors of homes and factories roadways that will not be passable for days and railroad roadbeds impossible in places now and developing new soft spots constantly. Hen coops that were in Vermont yesterday passed through Connecticut.
 At Northampton boats were used from the second story windows of some houses with the lower floors still inundated. al- though the crest fthe flood had pass ed. The situation at Springfield was such as to indicate that there would be Iitle damage in hat vicinity. it was said Rivermen said the danger was no; over, however, as the river was still al such a high stage that another heavy rain might cause serious damage.
 The lakes in Vermont were reported today at flood stages. Lake Champlain was within three inches of its highest waters and lesser bodies also were re- ported to show levels far in excess of these usual at this season. Champlain was still rising today.
