 NORTH POI. s:
Naulty Expects to Start for Pt. Barrow On
 November l.

Washington, Oct. 10. Edwin Fairfax Naulty, Eastern scien, tist, who is planning to visit the North Pole by aeroplaae, expects to start for Point Barrow about November 1. From'Ntasnington' he will go to Seattle by land plane, converting 1t at the latter place into a seaplane His son. Leslie Naulty,, will accompany him as technieian. From Point Barrow the scientist will fly in a straight line'Go North Cape, the l nor thern extremity of Sweden, , touching the5H ole en route.
 Naulty, who enjoys the dis tinction of being a scientific. ob- servator of ocean, air and ice currents, has several objects in making the proposed. flight, the !. chief of which>is rthe, hope of es- tablishing the feasibility of @ new route for commerce. Should the first flight prove successful, other flights, it 'is.'s6ated; will , undoubtedly be undertaken with the view of settling definitely the location ref t4e trmagnetic' pole, also the detertnSnation of magnetic polar Vertieity. The East is greatly interested in the proposed flight.

 And yet in the face of these figures we are asked to enact legislation which would result, Grst and last, in paying out of the Federal treasury sum vari- eusly estimated at from s., 500 000, COG to 8, ,0oo, 000, ,000. It is true that ac- cordtng to the plan proposed, it may be that @ part of that sum will be paid 20 years from COW; but it has to be paid just tbe s&me.f f we adopt that plan we will simply be saddling the country with that much more debt, with about S5.

Excerpts,From Recent .Utterances Made in
 the Halls of Congress

Senator Key Pittman (Nev.l, speak ing of adjusted compensation for vet erans of world war:
 "Why should this country, the rich est, on earth, the country that made millions during the war, not the Gov ernment, but the people of tte country, be unable to stand the taxation ueces- sarG to look after their own soldiers, when poor little Belginm, which was devastated day after day, almost wiped of the face of the earth, has been able to give her soldiers as,much as we are asking today for our soldiers? Why is it impossible for rich America, the greatest and most powerful country in 5he world, to take care of her soldiers while France who has accumulated a debt in the war equal to the taxable property Of that whole country, amply provides for her soldiers? Why is it that Great Britain and Italy, who not only have suffered four times as much as we have ia debt, but have lost all of their young manhood in the war, are able to pay their soldiers while we can not pay our soldiers? Why is it?
 4'There is only one answer to that question-because the greed for gold is blocking us in doing our duty toward the soldiers who fought our war; We all know that. Look at. France, look at Belgium, look at England, look at Italv What are their conditions by comparison with shis eountfy2 Thea look at Canada and, Australia. They have taken care ofttheir soldiers, Let me say In passing that none of those countries waited two and half years to take care of their soldiers. They took care of them immediately after they came from the battle front, and here we have been waiting two and a half years and longer to grant our sol- dier boys anything.
 "And even now there is & supreme effort being made to delay indefinitely any action if ia shall appear impossible to completely defeat the bill. Atl of us know that When it became appar-- ent that the great ma jority Of this body recognized the justice that we must do to our soldiers then the opponents of this bill went higher up; they even went right to the top of the admins tration to bring it's power to bear to defeat the bill"

NOT POSITIVE MOONEY HELD
 FRISCO BOMB
(Py United Pressl


 New York, Feb. 8-John Mcdonald, the witness who identified Thomas J. Mooney as the hurler of the dynamite bomb at the San Francisco prepared ness parade in 1916, has confessed that his testimony was false.
 Attorney Frank P. Walsh an- nounced today that Mcdonald has made affidavit in which he declares he was not able to identify Mooney as the hurler of the bomb, but did so at the instance of the district attorney at San Francisco. !.
 The new affidavit was at once tele- graphed to San Francisco, where a special grand jury is in session.
 Mooney is under conviction and sentenced to die. Nine people were killed when the bomb exploded in the line of the parade.
 The Mooney case has a long record in court, including vain appeals to President Wilson to intervene in the prisoners behalf. When the presi- dent declined, new and more persis- tent efforts were made to secure his freedom through the courts.

HOWATTFACES COURT. O[F|[S
 STRIKE ENDED
(By United Press !


 Pittsburg, Kans., Feb. S.-Anothe1 def at the state of Kansas and the state court on industrial relations was hurled today by Alexander Howatt, district president of the United Mine Workers of America, who is ar raigned for alleged contempt of court in starting a strike of miners.
 This is not an indefinite strike,' Howatt declared the court "I have called it to last until the George Mackey Fuel Company settles the wages of Karl Mishmash."
 Mishmash appealed to the miners union when the company failed to increase his wages when he reached 19 years of age, under an agreement which he alleged had been made Howatt took his case up and called the strike when the Mackey company refused adjustment of his wages.
 Howatt displayed bold front in court when arraigned today. He de- clared the whole thing to be 'joke, . and it's members the political pup pets' of Governor Allen.

BANKS 10 GARRY
 SCHOOL 10 JUNE BUT NOT NEXT SESSION
Increased Revenue or Cutailment of School Expenses Necessary
 Another Year.

Following the failure on the part of the school board to sell a bond issue for the retirement of the float ing indebtedness of the Conway dis trict, amounting to approximately $41 ,000, officers of the three banks of this city agreed at a meeting with the directors yesterday afternoon to continue to finance the district until the close of the present session June l, with the understanding that the public subscriptions collected. amount ing to about $5.700, be used as fa1 as it will go for that purpose.
 The bank officials, however, posi- lively stated to, the board that they would not continue the policy of pay ing the districts warrants for the 1921-22 session, unless the revenues were sufficiently increased or the eX- penditures decreased so as to maintain the school within its revenue and pro- vide a sinking fund for the retire. ment of the unpaid warrants.
 A statement prepared by Supt. R. E. Womack showed that the deficit for the current year would be approx imately 5000, increasing the amount of outstanding warrants by about that sum. Of this deficit, however $6.000 represented the cost of purchasing. remodeling and furnishing the new annex and S2,500 has been paid on the principal of the outstanding bonds. The actual cost of maintenance was therefore about equal to the gross revenue, which includes nearly $6,000 paid in on the popular subscriptions made early this year.
 The board will continue it's efforts to float it's bond issue, and it is hoped that financial conditions will permit a sale before the next session is be- gun One possible means of relief suggested was for the district to de- fault payment upon some of it's bonds or interest coupons owned by non- residents and in a friendly suit in federal court to confess judgment. concede the insolvency of the district and consent to an order of court re- quiring a 100 per cent assessment on all property in the district for school purposes. As the present assessment is presumed to be 50 per cent, this would have the effect of doubling the district school revenue but would not affect other taxes. The plan has been adopted as a means of retiring county warrants in the case of several cOun- ties in the site.
 Should no means of increasing the revenue be found, the board will be forced to curtail expenses and bring them within the revenue. This would probably mean the abolishing of the high school and possibly a reduction of the teaching force throughout the school.
 An amendment to the constitution permitting school districts to levy any millage tax the voters may de- clare for has already been proposed. This will be adopted or rejected at the general election in October, 1921, and the first opportunity for the voters to act under it. if adopted, will be at the May election of 1923 Taxes levied at that election would be col lected in the spring of 1924 and paid into the treasury in July, 1924, or more than three years hence. This will be much too late to benefit the school in the present emergency.
