SEATTLE, Wash.-Roald Amundsen
famed Norwegian explorer, whose ex
pedition discovered the south pole. is
now bound for the Arctic. In the aux.
iliary. powered schooner. Maud, with q
crew of nine and sailing under the flag
OF the Norwegian government, Amund
sen is set to probe into the far north
with the aid of airplane, radio and other
scientific equipment.
For five years-mayDe seven-the
Maud will be locked in the trackless
desolate wastes of ice as the ice drifts
north across the pole. For in the early
fall the ship will be frozen in. after
reaching as far north as ice floes will
allow.
The trip is not one of adventure.
Rather, strictly scientific.
I'VE are taking the finest scientific
instruments ever sent to the north"
says Amundsen. 1--WE hope to discover
more useful data than all other expe.
ditions combined.
IAN elements will be plumbed as we
drift along. The oceans depth will

water currents. etc. With our air
planes and Photographic apparatus we
will study surface conditions for hun.
dreds of miles to each side of the ves-

Results of observations will be sent
by wireless or radio TO the Norwegian
government as we go along"
In the food cargo that has been
packed aboard the Maud. and which is
slated to last seven years. are tons Of
bonbons and picked walnuts.

some RECORDS
MISSING FROM
SMALL'S BANK
Prosecuting Attorneys start
a Fight to Learn Where
Certain Papers Are
Now.

WAUkEGAN, In.--A bitter fight be.
tween the prosecution and attorneys de-
fending Governor Small, charged with
conspiring to defraud the state OF In.
terest due on public funds. loomed to-
day in connection with state attempts
to find out what became of certain rec.
ords Of the governors bank and a bank
owned by his co-defendant, Vernon Cur.
us. and also what was in the missing
papers.
The cashier Of the First Trust and
savings bank of Kankakee, Of which
the governor is president, has already
testified in preliminary hearings that
records dealing with the governors per.
sonal account in the bank. prior to last
November, have disappeared and can
not be found. The cashier OF the Grant
Park Trust and Savings bank, one of
the Curtis institutions, testified at the
same Investigation that q janitor, who
mas since died. inadvertently burned up
some Of he banks records last year.
and among them were the papers
sought by the state. Judge Claire c..
Edwards indicated yesterday that he
would call officers Of the two banks as
witnesses Of the court, In accordance
with request OF the state. but he re-
served final decision until today at the
request Of the governors chief counsel.
Judge Edwards agreed with the de.
fense that it would be prejudicial that
the state go through the entire history
of the papers burned by the janltor and
that 1t would be proper to establish
the facts Of their disappearance to lay
the ground for the introduction Of sec.
ondary evidence. After further argu-
ment, when court convened. the judge
affirmed his decision Of yesterday that
the witness may be called by the court
and crossexamined by the state within
the limits fixed by the judge.

Riley said the minister had not comnu-

possibility that court Of inquiry could
be called which would provide for tes-
timony under oath, in the event the
circumstances surrounding the purport-
ed attack could be cleared in no other
way. The Rev. Irwin against whom
charges of conduct unbecoming min

Presbytery. was followed by charges
OF arson after county Investigation
