FINANCE BOARD TO HEAR
 SCHOOL BOARD ARGUMENT
No Fireworks Expected at Tonight's Meeting to Discuss Addition
 for Senior H. S.

Tonight's hearing at the office of Mayor Paonessa. at which members of the school board will endeavor to impress upon the board of finance and taxation the necessity for | bond issue of approximately $5o0,- 900 for an addition to the Senior High school is expected to be a peaceful gathering.
 Mayor Paonessa's expressed un- willingness to enter into discussion of the building plan before the finance board or the common coun- cil until his survey committee has completed its work. lends strength to the rumor he will take little or no part in tonight's deliberations
 Irrespective of what action the board of finance may see fit to take tonight. it is unlikely that anything will be done on the high school plan for two months at least. The coun- cil does not convene again in regu- lar session for a month. its October meeting having been held last night. If the board recommends . bond issue and the council passes a con- curing vote November z1, the mayor Is at liberty to exercise his veto power. sending it back . the common council at it's meeting of December 1S.

FIND GAS TANK OF
 AMUNDSEN'S PLANE
Belief Strengthened That Arctic Explorer Perished
 While on Mercy Mission

Copenhagen. Oct. 1s (UP)-The Norwegian motor boat Jeff arrived this morning at Valdersund and re- ported she had picked up the gaso- line tank of the Latham seaplane in which Roald Amundsen and i've others started on a flight to the Arc- tic in June.
 The tank contained 30 litres of gasoline. the commander of the motor boat reported.
 The motor boat was positive that the tank was that of the French seaplane as inscribed on one side of the tank were the words:
 Essence competence. 500 litres, hydro-avian. Latham"
 The tank was found at 64 degrees and 52 minutes northern and 8 de- grees 50 minutes eastern longitude.
 Captain H. Riiser Larsen, Nor wegian explorer who spent many weeks in the Arctic this year search ing for the Italia party. said the find proved without a doubt that the Latham seaplane had been forced to land at sea.
 The tank apparently had drifted some distance when 1t was found as the position mentioned would have been we'll off the course that Amundsen was expected to take al he started out on his mercy mission to the rescue of members of the dirigible Italia.
 Amundsen with five companions left Tromsoe. Norway. June 1s bound either for Bear Island or Kings Bay.
 So far as Is known their plane was never seen after late in the eve ming of June IS. There have been many reports of finding traces o1 their craft but all were unconflrmed until a few weeks ago part of the pontoons were found floating in Arctic waters.
 This indicated to most Arctic ex- perts that Amundsen. the veteran of the Arctic explorers, had been forced to land in the water. This belief further was strengthened by the finding of the gasoline tank to- day.
 With Amundsen when he left Tromsoe left Lieut.. Lief Dietrichsen one of his Arctic companions: Com mandant Rene Guilbaud. French naval ace who was assigned by the French government to fly the Lath. am to the Italia rescue: Lieut.. de Cuverville, French navigator: Radio Man Caudebec and Mechanic Bray

EPISCOPAL CHURCH
 MAY CHANCE RULES
Resolution Would Stamp Temperance Society
 Without Standing

Washington, Oct. IS F-A Ieso- lution which would stamp the church temperance society as body without official standing in the church was introduced before the Episcopal church general conven- ton today by the Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman. bishop of Washington. D. C.. and referred to the committee on social service.
 A short time ago the association published a report of a survey made among Episcopal clergy tending to show that many of the clergy were opposed to the 18th amendment The society at the time disclaimed any official connection with the church.
 Action on the proposal to elim- mate the 39 articles of faith from the Episcopal book of common prayer was indefinitely postponed by the bishops without record vote.
 The suggested elimination of the articles was considered one of the most important matters before the convention and found two schools of thought within the church sharply divided.
 Three years ago deletion of the articles was asked in resolutions by
 both bishops and deputies and ap- proval of this action in both houses of this convention was necessary to take the articles from the prayer book. Many churchmen felt that the articles no longer could be taken lit erally and declared they were archaic and not followed by a major ity of church members. A petition with s3.o00 signatures. known as the Protestant memorial. asking re- tention of the articles as a basic part of church doctrine. was pre- sented to the convention last week.
 Today's action was made on mo- ton from the Rt Rev. Charles L. slattery. bishop of Massachusetts. chairman of the prayer book com mittee. There was no debate.

TALE OF S75,0O0 LOOT BELIEVED ID BE MYTH
No Indication of Hermit Having Large Sum
 Cached
Especial to the HeraId)

Bristol. Oct. IS - Little credence is placed in the rumor that James Welsh. recluse woodchopper of Tolles who was beaten and strung up to a tree in New Hartford Tues day afternoon by Louis Albertelli of 330 Park street and Victor Vanoni of Allentown road, has any knowledge of loot estimated at $75,o00, which. 1t is alleged. was stolen by Welsh and confederate several years ago. A search of police records in this city fails to show that Welsh was ever arrested here and the local au- thorities have no knowledge of Welsh ever having served jail sentence at any time.
 oni and Albertelli believed the story of the hidden loot is proved by previous attempts to rob Welsh in his cabin located in a lonesome spot on the back road between Tolles and Hancock. Such attempts have met with failure each time and those who know Welsh are inclined to scout the numerous rumors.
 Very little is known about Welsh who several years ago purchased . small plot of land where he erected his one room cabin. His employers, for whom he hired out as a wood- chopper on various occasions. say that Welsh never spike about him. self and was very reticent when questioned. He was | good worker and although he lived a very simple life. was never known to be in need. This was considered unusual due to the little amount of work which he did. A search of the ruins of the cabin. which was burned by Alber- telli and Vanoni. showed nothing but old clothing and newspapers.
 Welsh, who was strung up to . tree in New Hartford and left by his assailants. will recover. according to information available this morn ing. The rope. which had been placed under his chin and knotted on top of his head. was in such . position that strangulation was pre- vented.

MANY POSSIBILITIES
 IN ALABAMA POLITICS
Democrats Opposing Smith Have Bolted Outright
 to Hoover
By BYRON PRICE Associated Press Staff Writer.


 Birmingham, Ala. Oct. IS RN Among the souvenirs bequeathed to history by this campaign. none is more certain of a place in the poli- tical curiosity shop than the situa- tioh which has come to pass here in Alabama.
 Other states of the solid south have likewise felt the shock of the revolt from Smith. but no where else has 1t assumed a character 20 strangely in contrast to tradition. In these latter days of the cam paign it still rocks an electorate fired with dissension over such is- sues a religious and white suprem- acy, and although the Smith sup porters say the tide has turned and the state is safe. their opponents do not concede it.
 Not only have the Smith democrats of Alabama fervently en- listed in the Hoover cause but to . large degree they have taken posses sion of it. By agreement they have substituted their own candidates for electors. democrats.-on the ballot under the republican em- blem. The list includes one delegate to the Houston convention and the wife of another. A former member of the democratic state committee presides over the fortunes of anti Smith headquarters. Senator Heflin goes up and down the state de- nouncing Smith and the Roman Catholic political machine" His colleague, Senator Black, has en- dorsed the ticket, and 50 has Gov. Graves. a former official of the Klan; but neither Black nor Graves has taken the stump in the rattling oratorical onslaught with which the Smith democrats are seeking to clear their salients of the enemy.
 And all of this is taking place. not in N. Carolina or Florida, with their considerable blocks of republican influence. but In . state 50 welded to democratic doctrine and tradition that for fifty years the republican party here has been little more than a name.
