BREWERY BATTLE IS
LOOMING FOR CITY
War Is Threatened Over
Possession of Plant.

Possibility of brewery war, if
not a beer war, doomed today with
incorporation of the Gold Medal
Brewing Company in the Office of
Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state.
Incorporators of the concern were
listed as Mark w. Rhodes, Robert
J. Rutherford and R. j. Milburn.
Capital was listed at 1000 shares
Of no par value stock.
The battle likely will be over the
old Lieber brewery, now being re-
habilitated by the Home Brewing
Company The new company had
a reservation on the name Gold
Medal, which was that of the Lieber
beer.
Rhodes indicated that they will
now try to get the plant and that
the new Incorporation merely pro-
vices the machinery.
Neither concern, as vet. has a
manufacturers beer permit from
the state excise department.

SHOALS PLANT
LEAVES HANDS
OF WAR OFFICE
Giant Tennessee River Prof.
ect Is Given Over to
Valley Authority.
BY MARSHALL M'NEIL
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. July 1.-The first
major move in the great Norris
Roosevelt development of the Ten
nessee river basin occurred today
when the Tennessee Valley Author
ity formally took over the $150000,-
900 Muscle Shoals plant from the
war department.
At the same time it was learned
that army engineers plans for con-
struction of locks for dam No. 8
above Muscle Shoals, had been
changed so that greater power de-
velOpment would be possible when
that dam is built by the authority.
Original plans made by the en-
gineers were criticised in connection
with the so-called Muscle Shoals
scandal revealed late in May.
Work Goes On at Locks
Then it was reported that after
a presidential investigation, con-
struction of the locks had been
stopped. But engineers today said
no such orders had ever been re-
ceived, the work going on unhin-
dered.
Under the order changing the de-
sign of the locks the dams eleva
ton will be increased from twelve tc
seventeen feet, increasing its capa-
oif fo1- ,Noxryo,. caYoaYofiA
The army engineers, who are re-
Sponsible for navigation facilities
in United States rivers and harbors
are constructing the locks at dam
No. 3 because they are navigation
facilities.
Cheap Power to Be Sold
An announcement from the wal
department said that this change
in design involves more extensive
construction than was contemplated
in the contract as originally award
ed" Original expenditure was est
mated at about $1,100000 and the
change in design will cause addi-
tional expenditure of about $425, 900
The first task of the Tennessee
Valley Authority, after taking over
Muscle Shoals today, will be to take
an inventory of the valuable prop
erty.
Within a few months, according
to present expectation, it will be
ready to furnish cheap Muscle
Shoals power to customers in the
vicinity.

BANK RECEIVER
RACKETS DEALT
CRUSHING BLOW
New Act Outlaws Friendly
Liquidations: Board
Takes Office.

End of the bank receivership
racket" in Indiana was predicted
today with the new commission on
financial institutions taking Office
and the complete new banking act
taking effect.
Under the act the department will
handle receiverships in the future
and they no longer will be placed
in hands of lawyer friends Of the
courts.
All voluntary liquidations will be
taken over by the department at
once and several courts have sig
nified their intention of transfer
ring present receiverships to them,
the commissioners stated.
Oaths Administered
1t is estimated that nearly $780,
100000 of assets will be liquidated by
the department.
Justice Michael Fansler of the
supreme court administered the oath
to the new commissioners this
morning. They then held their first
official meeting in the Office of
Richard A. Mckinley, director OF
the financial institutions depart
ment.
Members of the commission ere
Robert Baton, Marion, chairmana
Oscar P. Welborn, indianapolis,
vice-chairman; Harvey Hartsock,
indianapolis, Myron Gray, Muncie,
and C. M. Setser, Columbus.
Mckinley, who came from Rich
mond, is chief administrative off,
Ger and the department has four
divisions.
Barr Stays on Post
Thomas D. Barr, former assistant
state banking commissioner under
the Republican regime, remains for
the present as acting supervisor Of
the bank division and McKinley's
assistant. When he retires he will
become a field examiner for the
state accounts board, already hav-
ing been named to that post by
Governor Paul " McNutt.
Rehabilitation of restricted banks
was the first problem set by the
commissioners for solution. They
announced they will seek to put all
state banks on an unrestricted basis
as soon as possible, and liquidate
those which can not make the grade.

SEEK ADDITIONS FOR WELFARE
HOME AND SMYRNA HIGH SCHOOL

Much talk is being had in and
about Smyrna on the securing of
funds thru the Federal Public
Work program for adding two or
three more buildings to the State
Welfare Home at Smyrna, and the
building of another wing and ad-
dition to the Smyrna High School.
With the congestion already seen
as the State Welfare Home is about
to be opened, there seems to be
imperative need of more buildings,
especially separate building for
the aged colored people. The Board
of Education of the Smyrna Spec
ia1 District Schools would also like
to take advantage of the federal
offer for completing the additions
to the building and tear the old
school building down. The old
building, built fifty years ago, has
served its purpose and by uniting
all school activities in the one
building. Smyrna would be able to
take an advanced step. Through
a plan which has been proposed
for the financing of public works
projects in this State, it is believed

Assembly this Fall win be unnec-

VERMONT VOTES FOR REPEAL
25th State in Row Joins PaEaHe
By Vote of 2 to / far Repeal

Vermont yesterday joined the
repeal movement, the 25th State to
vote against the 18th Amendment.
Long listed in the prohibition col
umns, the Green Mountain State
upset the hopes of prohibition fore
es and recorded itself two to one
against retention Of the amend
ment. A ticket OF IA delegates to
a State convention to be held later
in the month was elected as a
group representing each of the IA
counties. The convention will meet
at Montpelier to ratify the 21st
Amendment by which the 18th
would be repealed. The victory for
the repealrsts was as sweeping as
their predictions. Only two eoun-

essary. The suggestion embodies a
pledge to the Federal Government
from prominent Republican and
Democratic leaders throughout the
State that Delaware will assume
financial obligation for any loans
the government may make to the
State and that all such loans viii
be ratified by act of the Legisla-
ture which will meet in 1885 in
stead of having Governor c. Doug
lass Buck call a special session
this year to pass such legislation.
The public works projects in this
State total about S29,000,O00 but
of this sum not more than S5,000,-
600 covers work that could not be
carried out without act of the Leg
islature or some pledge from the
State that it would be responsible
for the loans made to pay for the
projects. Under the National Re
covery Act the State or commun-
ity accepting loans from the Gov
eminent has to pay for 20 per cent
of the total cost. The balance or
80 per cent would come from the
Government on long term bonds
and the State has to pledge its
Willingness to assume these bonds

iday on Monday. AS some places
under the NRA closed on Friday,
it gave the opportunity of three
day outing. The stores remained
opened all day Saturday but even
then it afforded proprietors and
clerks a two-day holiday. Quite a
number took advantage of the op-
portunity to motor to bay and sea
side resorts for the weekend and
Others visited relatives and friends
over wide areas. Smyrna had its
full compliment of visitors, too,
over the weekend There was a
steady traffic down the State over
the weekend This traffic swung
back to work Monday afternoon
and roads were congested until
they joined the dual highway at
Smyrna on their way north. The
day generally speaking, hardly
seemed like a holiday. 1t rained
intermittently most all morning
and part of the afternoon. This
kept some at home. although
Woodland Beach and other nearby
resorts were well patronized. In
the afternoon the coIored Legion

the crowd with their band which,
as usual, discoursed bright and
catchy music. In the evening the
