CLEAR 0R CLOUDY
 WEATHER SATURDAY
Observers Seeking Hint as to
 Eclipse Conditions

New York, Jan. 20.--Whilo scien- lists prime their instruments and amateur observers make prepara- tons with smoked glasses and tele- scopes, the weather experts are scan ming all meteorological signs to de- termine If the weather will be clear for the eclipse next Saturday, The odds at present are slightly in favor of cloudy weather on the eventful day, according to James II. Scarr, veteran weather observer.
 Meanwhile preparations are reach- ing their final stage for the first show of It's kind that Manhattanites have had the chance to observe since 450 years ago. Similar preparations also are being made throughout the area about 4,500 miles tong and from 100 to l60 miles wide which will be in the shadow of the eclipse.
 Lights will be turned on Tn the area of total eclipse fin New city and towns of New Jersey. In Connecticut the hotel reservations made in the path of totality are suggestive of the crowds for Harvard-Yal, football games.
 The phenomenon will be spied up- on by scientists from every possible vantage point. Two specially built camera planes will rise from Curtiss field and soar above the clouds, using a camera of powerful range. The dirigible Los Angeles, with her top bristlng with an armament of tele- scope cameras will mount skyward with the expedition of scientists, while thousands Of radio listeners will hear descriptions of the sight as observed from the big aircraft. Fly ing observers also will scan the sky between Nantucket and Massachu- sets mainland.
 Measurements to determine tho amount of illumination from the suns corona at different periods of the eclipse will be made with spe- cial light-measuring apparatus by scientists at Greenport and New burgh, N. T., Danhury, Conn, New Haven, Ithaca N. Y, and Hamilton, N. Y.

 PLAYERS SEEK RAISE
Members Want Increase Amounting To S25 a Week--Would Effect
 Leading Orchestras in Country

New York, Jan. 20.-An increase of $25 a week in the salaries of members of the New York symphony and the philharmonic orchestras will be demanded by the associated musi- clans of New York, local SOP, Ameri- can Federation of Musicians, it was learned here today. The philhar- monic management, it is expected, will be officially notified tomorrow.
 Pending official notification of the proposed increase, orchestra leaders declined to discuss 1t in detail. They declared, however, that such an in- crease would drive many orChestras to disband or to curtall their pro grams inasmuch as they are even now running under heavy deficits.
 The increase, it is said, would ul- tmately affect many of the leading orchestras of the country who visit New York annually,
 Musicians playing for symphony orchestras now receive a minimum of s60 a week for four concerts and tour rehears:ls. The average pay is said to be about $S5 a week.
 The state symphony orchestra IS not expected to be affected inasmuch as it's musicians are paid by the con- cert,

FAMOUS CRIMINAL
 PLANNED ESCAPE
"HOlly" Griffith, Thrice Slayer,
 ThWarted by Prisoner

Moundsville, w, Va, Jan. 20.-W. II. Holly" Griffith, West VirGinias s most notorious criminal. still has visions Of gaining his freedom. 1t was disclosed today when peniten- tiary officials announced that his well-laid plans to escape had been frustrated.
 Three times Griffith killed, his vic tms being constable, q telIow-con- vice and d riyerman. Three times he was convicted of first degree mur- der, and after each trial he heard the court sentence him to spend tho remainder of his life In solitary con iinement.
 Last night a fellow-convict dis closed Griffith's latest plan to get away. Prison officials visited his cell in an isolated section of the penitentiary and there they found an eight inch double edge knife, ground down from d prison bar, and three pound blackjack, made from scraps of leather.
 When a boy, Griffith forged a check. He wounded the officer who sought to arrest him and later killed the constable. In 1921, while es- gaping from the penitentiary, he murdered fellow convict, and in his journey south, he killed the riv- erman while dickerng with him over the sale of motorboat

FORT SMELLING WANTS
A CHAPEL FOR SOLDIERS

Frank C. Rideout, chaplain of the
U. S. army, in a printed leaflet clear
ly and concisely sets forth seven very
good reasons why a chapel should be
built at Fort Smelling. Chaplain
Rideout in his leafet embodies the
need of the chapel in the first reason
which says:
Minnesota citizens and especially
the residents of the great metropolis
an area of st. Paul and Minneapolis,
should not be content to have a near
by community of 1000 residents
without church. And especially
is this true when the great majority
OF those residents are young men
barely out of the high school age. It
IS scarcely Christian to allow such a
condition to exist at the very door of
opulent, progressive cities. The gar
rlson needs modern church. The
soldiers themselves were the first to
realize this need and have already
raised an initial contribution of some
100000 for its prosecution.
