Ignorant Of Accident

Rudolph Johnson. 20, Of n Os-
good avenue. was found guilty in
police court today Of the charge of
cNadlnS responsibility and was fine j
$50 and costs. Of which $50 was re-
mtted, and he pleaded guilty to
the charge of driving without having
an operators license In his possess
sion. Judgement was suspended on
the second charge because he is a
licensed driver and had made appli-
cation for a renewal at the time OF
his arrest following an accident last
Saturday evening on Broad street.
Anna Jurczak. 10. of 173 Broad
street, was struck by Johnson's car
as she was crossing the street near
the corner of Gold street, according
to the testimony. and the car vccrci
10 the right and struck the curb
stone, after which it continued with
out stopping. Anthony Ciesiewskl
of "4l Broad street. caught the num-
Der of the car when he heard some
one shouting and Supernumerary Of
iiccr Peterson received a report of
the accident and notified headuuar-
tcrs.
Officer Louis +. Harper asccr-
tanned that the car vas registered

told him he saw the girl with a
companion about 10 cross the street

struck anyone.
Through Attorney Irving !. Each-
lin, johnson made the defense that
he would have stopped had he
known the car had struck anyone OF
caused any damage. but Prosecut-
ing Attorney j. G. Woods asserted
that johnson had violated the sta

and water for irrigation is available
AS the dam will take about seven
years to build after construction
starts, and present indications are
that it will be year or more before
work is started, you can readily see
that it will be number of years
before any lands are available to
settlers" Mead pointed out.
The Boulder Canyon project act
does not become effective until the
Colorado river compact has been
ratified by the seven basis states or
by six states, including California
Then contracts must be entered into
insuring revenues adequate to reim-
burse the government for the cost
of construction with interest.
Congress can not make any ap-
preparation for the dam until these
conditions are met, Mead said, as
further indication of the uncertain
ty of the project.

YEAR OF BOOM
Most Prosperous Period in
History, Says Expert.

Business conditions in the first
quarter of 1929 are better than at
any time in history, members of the
Retail Credit Mems Association were
told at a luncheon Thursday in the
Board of Trade dining room by Paul
V. Stokes, research director of the
National Hardware Association.
Although forecasting slight de
cline in business during the late
months of this year, it is the opinion
of Stokes that the year will pass
into history as surprising other
years in volume, production and
consumption.
Stokes cited the automotiye, text
