BELIEVE GERMAN BAG LANDED ON MOUNTAIN
Unofficial Tabulati0ns Give Victory to French Bal
 loon "Blanchard"

Detroit. July R>-A balloon re- ported stranded on mountain slope near Big Island, Va., was believed today by officials of the James Cor don Bennett International balloon race to be the German bag. Nun ster. the only unrepnrted balloon of the 12 which started in the race from Detroit Saturday afternoon.
 If the balloon is the Munster. un- official tabulations here of air line distances covered by the bags would give the race to the French bag, Blanchard. which landed at 1 a. m.. yesterday in mill pond at Walnut Cove, N. c.
 Karl Betts. scorer for the race. said today. however, that official tabulations by the National Aero nautical Association at Washington, D. C.. would be awaited to determine the winner because of punched land- ings of three of the contenders.
 Unofficial scoring shows that the Blanchard covered only 15 miles more airline distance than did the United States army balloon, which landed at kenbridge. Va. and that the army bag travelled only 20 miles farther on an airline than did the German bag, Barmen. which came down at Chase City, Va.
 The Blanchard. French balloon was given first place unofficially among those that have landed. hav- ing negotiated distance of approxi' mately 475 miles airline from the starting point. The Blanchard landed near Walnut Cove, \. C.. about 15 miles farther than the distance apparently covered by tho U. s. A. entry which landed al 1 kenbridge. Va.
 , Whether the missing Munster outdistanced these balloons Wal problematical. It has been unre. ported since few hours after ths . takeoff here Saturday. It was sug gested Eimermacher may have beer unable to maneuver the balloon i through the slow windl and Pennsylvania Saturday ans as a result may have been forced tt l land in some remote section of thu latter state. Another suggestion wa that the balloon may have ventures l too near the Atlantic coast line 4nt

Corporation Counsel Declares Merian Is Not Entitled to
 Pay Until Council Acts
ALTERS HIS ATTITUDE
 IN LETTER TO MAYOR
Controversy Must Bo Settled By Copcurring Votes of Boards ana Common Council in Cases of f'ub- lie Works Department Official, El- linswOod and Faselle - In Mean- time Merriam Gets His.

Strictly speaking, City Englneer Philip A. Merriam is not entitled to any salary under existing conditions, Corporation Counsel John H. Kirk ham ruled today, altering his written statement to Mayor Paonessa which was published last night.
 In the opinion filed today. the citys legal adviser places Merriam In the category with Park Superintend- ent Clyde Ellingwood, in that each must await a concurring vote or their respective boards and the com- mon council.
 Although the matter of Street Superintendent Engene Faselles sal ary is not mentioned in today's let ter, the corporation counsel after wards declared that Faselle is in the same position as the other employes.
 While there would be no legal au- thority for making any salary pay ments at the present, Corporation Counsel Kirkham opines the comp troller would be perfectly safe in paying at the existing rates. he writes.
 Kirkhan's Letter
 The letter, addressed to the board of public works. with copy sent to Mayor Paonessa. reads as follows:
 Regarding the salary of MT. Merriam, concerning which I wrote you on June 5th, wish to state that on further study of the matter. am of the opinion that Mir. Merriam is in the employ of the city at no fixed nor definite rate of compensation for the reason that he is new man in the office of city engineer and that the ordinance which provides as follows:
 Whenever vacancy is to be filled the salary shall not be fixed without the approval of the comma on . council has the effect of suspendine the fixing of the salary pertaining to the office of city engineer as last fixed by the board and approved by ,he common council. Of course. the charter provision governs and the ordinance cannot deprive the board of it's right to fix the salary subject to the approval of the common council but I think the common council has the right 10 provide that when the board selects a new man for the office that the salary fixed for the former incumbent of the position shall not be paid until the board again fixes the salary. subject to the approval of the common council.
 ''For the above reasons 1t is m, opinion that unless the board and the common council get together or this matter that Mir. Merriam is in the position of q person under employ. ment at a wage to be subsequently, determined and he is not in flnan. cial position to wait indefinitely thai he would be perfectly justified ir bringing suit against the city 10, his pay and that the court would give judgment for such sum as Inc might prove his services were req. sonably worth.

 TO RESCUE ITALIANS
Chances of Landing Planes on Ice Increase-Tem.
 perature Falls

Kings Bay, Spitzbergen. July 5 H9 for the rescue of five members of the Italia crew and Lieutenant Einar-Paal Lundborg from the ice near Foyn Island.
 The temperature was falling and chances for the landing of small planes on the ice to take them off were increased.
 The Russian ice breaker Krassin found progress toward the maroon- ed men difficult. Large masses of ice hampered the ships advance after it had entered the channel between the Seven Islands and Scoresby Island. just north of North Cape, North East Land.
 The ice breaker Braganza which had been held in the ice off North Cape worked free and was on it's way to Kings Bay today. Lieutenant Fuetzow Holm and Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen. Norwegian fliers who have been operating from the ves- sel, will transfer their activities to the sealing ship Hobby and join in the hunt for Roald Amundsen and his five companions. Tn the mean time the Braganza will be reprovi- stoned and repairs made to the ships boilers for further rescue work.
 Swedish fliers attempted to reach the marooned men yesterday but were turned back by poor visibility. An offer to place two German planes at the disposal of rescue workers has been received. For a time it seemed that the fate of the Amundsen expedition had been learned when the Exchange Telegraph Co. of London carried a report. purporting to be from Oslo. that the veteran explorers body had been found in the sea off Norway. 1 The rumor however, was denied at Oslo.
 It was feared today that if Amundsen and his companions did not meet death in a disaster of the sea or ice. they will now be hard put to it for provisions, since they only carried a two weeks supply when they hopped off on June IS.
 The Russian flier Babushkin was still numbered among the missing today. Nothing has been heard of him since he started from the Soviet ice breaker Maligin on Friday for the castaways of the Italia.
 The Maligin today was nearing Hope Island. the southeastern out post of the Spitzbergen archipelago.

 Dallas, Tex, July 8 iR}-Texas democracy today faced new threats of split following announcements by two candidates for high state offices that they would not support Gov. Alfred E. Smith for president.
 State Senator Thomas B. Love of Dallas, former democratic national committeeman, and candidate for lieutenant governor. in announcing he would not support Smith, said: My conscience would not let me vote to put a sachem of Tammany Hall in the White House even if there was no liquor question in- volved in Smiths candidacy. Whom l shall cast my vote for l have not decided as I expect some develop ments before the time l must make up my mind"
 Mrs. Edith Wilmans, candidate for governor, declared the national democratic convention had given the democrats of Texas "a rotten deal.' and that she would not SUD- port Governor Smith.
 Better to Fail
 T feel that it would be better for the democratic party to fail" she said, than to succeed in forcing upon the good citizens of the United States a man who by his acts as governor of New York has nullified the prohibition amendment in the state of New York"
 On the heels of these statements, came an announcement from Gov. tend a meeting of southern demo- crats at Asheville. N.

 Certainly not. I am democrat
 The governor added that while we didn't get exactly what w wanted at the convention, the plat form declares for enforcement o prohibition, and that's the mail thing
 These declarations followed a bit ter feud between Texas democrat: which ragged during the selection O delegates to the national convention leader of the victorious faction, re fused to take the prohibition issue to the floor of the Houston con vention.
 At the state convention, Mood, Head a faction favoring a dry plat form and a candidate in sympath! with it, while Love headed a 'bon' dry" group seeking a prohibition plank and instructions against Gov Smith.
