MORE VOTING MACHINES FAVORED BY BENJAMIN
First Sclectnlan Agrees With Mayor
 That Equipment At Hand is Inadequate

First Selectnlan Darius Benjamin shares the belief expressed by Mayor Paonessa that the voting machine equipment now in the city's possess sion is not adequate for the presi- dential election on November 6, and he is planning to confer with the mayor to determine what steps may be taken to get more machines here.
 Under state statutes, each elector is allowed one minute to register his preference. If each voter avails himself of the maximum time in the voting booth it will be impossible to take the ballot of the voters of New Britain on election day. The fact that all cities and towns will vote on the same day next month. makes it impossible to rent machines. as was done in the city election. and if more equipment Is to be brought here, 1t must be purchased.

WINS LAST FIGHT i FOR ;so,ooo,0Oo
Desert Rat" to Collect Huge Fortune From
 Anaconda Copper Co.

San Francisco. Oct. 23 (UP)- George Campbell Carson. wno tramped over western deserts ,n search of gold which always elud- ed him. has come into wealth be- yond the widest dreams of his pros pecting days.
 Carson was not . success In his wanderings with pick and burro. but his knowledge of metallurgy. result ing in an invention of the side-feed- ing reverberatory furnace now used universally in copper smelling. has brought him into 6 fortune estimat- ed at &30,000,0O0.
 The U. $. supreme courts refusal to grant a petition of the Anaconda Copper company to review lower court judgments against the firm in favor of Carson was the former desert rats" final victory in litiga- tion which has extended through a series of court tests since 1917.
 Carson had charged that the Ana conda company infringed upon his patents. As a result of the supreme court decision, accrued royalties must be paid the inventor.
 The prospector who tramped hills and deserts of Colorado, Nevada and California looking for pay-streak sufficient to buy sack of flour has become a national figure in his fight against the powerful smelting company.
 When the case wc thrown out by Seattle. Wash. court, Carson pleaded with San Francisco million aires. Rudolph spreckels and Rob- ert Hayes Smith. to help finance a further fight. They agreed and the court fight continued.
 The [. S. district court decided for the Copper company. This Was reversed by the II. S. circuit cou. . of appeals which ordered the com pany to refrain from further use of the furnace and to account for profits since the invention had been operated.
 The company sought to have tie lower court judgments reviewed. The fight ended with victory for the former prospector when the '. $. supreme court denied the petition.
 Carson is now living in San Fran cisco. He Is 61 years old and physi- cally active.
 When he receives the &30,oO0, 900 Carson expects to build a laboratory and continue his experiments.

ZEPPELIN READY F)R
 WESTERN CRUISE
Take-Off Subject to Ecken. CT Who Returns Today
 From Chicago

Lakehurst, N. J., Oct. p R-Re- pairs to the transatlantic air liner Graf Zeppelin were completed to. cay and the ship was ready for flight. The command for the take OFT or the great cruiser on its pro- posed light to the middle west awaited the return of Dr. Hugo F'ckener. skipper. from Chicago. He is due here tonight.
 Lieut.. Commander Hugh V. Wi ley. temporary skipper of the navy's dirigible Los Angeles, announced that the American air ship would leave the hangar with the Graf Zeppelin. He said. however, that his flight would be for training pur- poses. and that the Los Angeles would not accompany the Graf Zeppelin to the west.
 Commander z. H. Wicks, rigging officer, was in charge of the re- pairs to the Graf Zeppelin's port stabilizer, and imitation and fueling of the ship. The under covering was ripped from the stabilizer in storms at sea.
 Fearing that the pumping of hy- drogen through the regular supply lines of the air station would result in the contamination of the navy's supply of helium, a novel method was used 10 initiate the Graf Zeppe- lin. Hydrogen is highly inflam- mable. and the helium used in the Los Angeles is not.
 The hydrogen was first pumped into huge free balloons. The bags were then brought into the hangar, and the hydrogen forced in the Graf Zeppelin's cells through manifolds.
 The German ship was loaded with 13,000 gallons of gasoline, and about 100000 cubic feet of gaseous fuel similar to the blue gas used on the transatlantic flight.
 Scott Field, H.. Oct. B R,-Of- ficials at Scott Field proceeded to- day with preparations to receive the Graf Zeppelin either tomorrow night or Thursday. Despite the con- flicting reports as to the itinerary of the German ship. the hangar here. which is large enough to house the Graf Zeppelin, was being made ready for the use of Dr. Hugo Eckener. if he desires to keep the ship here over night.
 The RS-1. largest semi-rigid di- rigible ship in the world, which was damaged in . flight from San An tonic. Texas, last week, has been undergoing repairs to its nose. Cap tain William kepner. commander of the ship said it would be ready 10 fly tonight and will be available as an escort to the Graf Zeppelin.

EPISCOPALIANS ASKED
 TO BACK PROHIBITION
Bishops Urge Support of Laws "Cynically Dis.
 regarded"

Washington, Oct. g R - The membership of the Episcopal church was called on today by its bishops in general convention here to set an example of law enforce ment by respecting the prohibition and nti-narcotic laws. The action was a reaffirmation of action taken by the 1925 convention.
 The text of the resolution of 1925 which was reaffirmed on its intro- duction by Bishop John Ward of Erie, Pa. follows:
 Resolved: That facing the danger of the spirit of lawlessness in Amer ican life. we welcome the renewed efforts of the government of the United States to enforce strictly and impartially the prohibition laws, and the anti-narcotic laws, which are so widely and cynicaIly disre- garded: we call upon the people of our church to set a good example of that obedience to law without which no democracy can endure"
 A resolution seeking to put the Episcopal church officially on rec ord in favor of the separation of church and state was tabled by the house of bishops.
 The resolution. introduced by Bishop Thomas F. Gailor. of Ten- nessee. was criticized by Bishop Reese of southern Ohio on behalf of the committee on social service. Bishop Reese said he knew of no movement Hooking 10 interference by the church in political or parti- san matters
 The bishops approved . reeolu- tion urging on all institutions of learning the Importance of empha~ sis on the peaceful means open to the settlement of international dis putes."
 This proposal was a substitute for a resolution presented by the Right Rev. Edward l.. Parsons, bishop of California. asking that the church look with disfavor on compulsory military training in schools, which was given . favorable committee report.
 Bishops Frank W. Sterrett, coad- tutor of Bethlehem. Pa. and Reese spoke in favor of the original reso- lution which was opposed by Bish- ops Harry .. Longley. coadjutor of Iowa. author of the substitute, and James Wise of Kansas,
