Jacob Franks has sold his home? the house toward which his $on, Hobby, was trudging after a day at school when he ac cepted itn invitation to inspect a ten nis racquet and was, instead, kid naped and slain; the home, that he, the elder Franks, had purchased -from Robert Loeb, father of Richard, one of the youthful murderers, 15 years ago, a year before Hobby was born; The new master of the spacious; residence located in the heart of the southside fashionable district, will be Joseph Trinz, part owner of a string of motion. picture houses. The Franks family will move to a northside hotel, Mr. Franks said today. "It was necessary in transferring the title to Mr. Trinz, to give a quit claim v deed to Mr. Loeb, who once owned the property." Half a block up the street from the Franks home is the Loeb resi dence and a block farther away is the residence of Nathan F. Leopold, Sr., whose son, Nathan, Jr., with Richard Loeb, is awaiting the deci sion of Judge John R. Caverly as to the penalty he and Richard must pay for the murder of Bobby. Next door is the Samuel H. Harris place. Sam uel H. Harris, Jr., it was developed at the recent hearing, had been marked at one time as a probable victim by Loeb and Leopold, u' Constant association with unpleas ant reminders of t^eir son's life and the circumstances surrounding his death prompted Mr. and Mrs. Franks to sell thoir home, although Mrs. Franks was reluctant to part with the house in which her children had been born and reared.

SHEETROCK THE Fireproof WALLBOARD A U1VEK IN U A UN ESS Catawba Serves More Than 300 Cot ton Mills in the Carolina*. There are now nine wale rpower i stations un the Catawba river in North and South Carolina with a Capacity of 420,000 horsepower and a storage capacity of 175,000,000,000 gallons of water serving more than 300 cotton mills with 5,000,000 spin dles, A. C. Lee, of the Engineering staff of the Southern Power company, told the North Carolina section of the American Society of Civil Kngineers at its closing session at Asheville re cently. He described the systematic development of this stream as a source of electric energy from thv? time of the first small plants in the eighties down to the present. "With the two new developments now under construction," Mr. l^ee said, "the Catawba river will be prob ably the finest example in America, or in the world for that matter, of the intensive and intelligent develop ment of a great natural resource." Mr. Lee had as his subject "The Progressive Development of the Catawba river." At the outsot he de scribed the course of the river from its source in the Blue Ridge moun tains on down to Fahfield county, South Carolina, where it becomes the Wnteree, hence to its junction with the Congaree 66 miles below, where the two form the Santee, which flows into the Atlantic ocean near George town, S. C. With the exception of small plants to operate neighborhood grist' mills, there were no water power develop ments on this river until the late eighties, Mr. Lee said. The real de velopment, he said, began after the invention of the electric dynamo and the modern cotton spindh*. Up to 1890 power was transmitted direct to the mills, lighting current being furnished by direct current dy namo. | Mills Operated in this way were below the flood line and every year sufTered heavy losses due to high water. About this time, he said, men behind the industrial development began to look for cheaper power. The alternating current generator and transformer had been invented and made possible the trarismision of power several miles. The successful operation of the Portman Shoals hydro-electric plant on the Seneca river and the transmission of 10 miles into Anderson, S. C., in 1897 and the operation of the Fries Manufacturing company and power company at Idols-, on the Yadkin river near Winston Salem, N. C,, led the late Dr. W. Gill Wylie and his associates to develop a similar station at India Hqok shoals on the Catawba liver, about six miles from Hock Hill. This latter plant was completed in 11)01 and had an effective head of 25 feet. The power house consisted of eight units, each generator being at J 1,000 volts. This current wa'sjjvjns mitted ' to Hock Ji ill and Fort Mill, S. C, and Charlotte, N. C., over 13, 000 volt transmission lines. The demand for water power in creased, Mr. Lee said, and in 1005 the South Power company was organ ized with a view of developing more power along the Catawba. Several sites were purchased. The Great Falls plant was begun in 1005 and put in operation in 190G. This had eight double runner hori zontal wheels connected to 3,000 kilo watt generators. The power w*? transmitted over 4-1,000 volt trans mission lines GO miles to Charlotte. This was one of the first transmission lines with more than 13,000 volts. After completing the Great Falls development, the Rocky Creek station two miles down the river was begun. It was completed in 1009 and prac tically duplicated the Great Falls plant. ? The flow of the river was variable, Mr. Lee said, and in 1011 a 10,000 horsepower station was built at Greenville, S. C., and one at Greens boro, N. with a third at Mount Holly, N. C. New industries were being attracted as a result, he said. With the invention of the thrust bearing, the installation of vertical type generators was possible, Mr. Lee said, making it possible to put the units above flood line. The first tribute on the Catawba river in 1013 at Lookout Shoals station near Statesville, N. C\, three units each connected with a 10,000 horsepower generator being installed. The Fishing Creek station was put into operation in 1916, three miles above the Great Falls station 'and doveloped 50,000 horsepower at a 50 fflot head. After the Bridgewater station the Wateree station near Camden, S. C., was started. This is the largest sta tion the company has, generating 84, 000 horsepower at a 72-foot head. During 1922 and 1923, two new water pawer and two mw steam stations were added. The first was the pear bora station at Great FaUTwHfc 00c 000 horsepower generated oa tkree *? ? r ? I ; units, Tho Mountain island station, near Mount Holly, N.

Tlu> IJhodiss statoin at Rhodhiss, i N. (\, will be completed in 1025 arid will have 45,000 horsepower at a 05. fjDot head and the new Catawba sta tion is being built directly over the old station a nil will have a head or t>5 foot, In closing Mr. Let*' said: "1 feel it would not be amiss to point out what the development of the Catawba river has meant to the Carolinas and to the new Industrial south. With high tension transmision lines reach' inn into every part of Piedmont Caro linas, industries have been able to locate and develop at such places as offered tfyem the best advantages. With this power available over ?t large territory at low prices ami in ' any desired quantity, ? industry has been wonderfully stimulated and' it has often been said that the power j generated orr and by the Catawba rivur has been a determining factor j in the remarkable industrial develop- ' ment of the Piedmont Carolina*, 1 I which we all recognize as the nucleus and center of the industrial south. ] "It is interesting to observe that in 1915 only 16 cotton mills with less than 175,000 spindles were being 1 operated by electricity generated on the Catawba river. Today more than 1 30d cotton mills with a total of ap- 1 proximately 5,500,000 spindles are 1 being operated by the Catawba, to say nothing of the eleeticity that is being used in other industries and for lighting and other uses in sev eral scores of cities and towns in the Ca rolinas." There were 12,000 Indians in the American forces during the World war. Practically all were volunteers, as the draft law did not apply gener ally to Indians. .

Enormous Sums Expended To Enlarge Telephone Service HI: enormous amount of new telephone con struction under way in North and South Carolina has made necessary a programme of activity rarely before equalled in (he telephone industry. During" the first six months of this year additional equipment, apparatus, cable and telephones^ave been installeoat a cost of approximately $87 9,029\ \ There remains to be completed during the balance of 1 his year similar new construction costing approximately ?942,97 1 . The new facilities provided in this manner enabled the telephone workers to install 9,76o new telephones during the six month period, resulting in a net gain of 4, l 34 stations. At the beginning of the year it was estimated that (lie re would be 8,20 6 installations and a net gain of 3,434 stations during the first six months. The tele phone programme is therefore much ahead of the schedule. New construction work costing ?942,971 is now under way or will be started during the balance of this year. .1 Bell System' SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY MORGAN B.
