 Not one of us have raised the re- ligious issue." he said. T have not said one word concerning Governor Smiths right to worship God accord ing to his own dictates. There has not been the religious issue except as he has lugged it in.

HALL: DECLINES ID
 HEAR SCHOOL PLEA
No Action ou Boad Isle Ulta
 Paonta Approves Hs SaU

Replying to the school committee's request that an early hearing oe granted on tho proposed issuance of bonds for q Senior High schoel s1- Idition. Chairman E. F. Hall of the board of finance and taxatioa, has advised Chairman P. F. King of the school committee that . hearing will not be had until Mayor Pao-' nessa approves.
 Senator Hall explains that 1t is within the power of the mayor te hold up the bond sale, and that nothing will be gained by attempt ing to force action until after the school survey has been completed. This, Senator Hall writes, is for the best interests of the city and the school committee. His letter to Chairman King fol- lows:
 MT. P. F. King.
 New Britain. Conn.
 My dear MT. King:
 Answering your letter of the 18th instant, regarding additional Htgh School accommodations. ! had an. other talk with Mayor Paonessa lest night about securing early action on this matter. He has not chang ed his mind in regard to the advis- ability of having . survey made Of the probable financial needs of ysur departments building program fer the next year. Ills Investigating committee ts progressing q Sapi1ly as could be expected and within short time. will be able to make their report to the mayor. He b desirous of securing this report es- fore he Is willing to approve . school building program.
 Tn view of the fact that . certid- cate has always been required by the attorneys who certify to the legality of our bond issues that the mayor has approved the action of the coun- mon council in authorizing bon0a. and as the mayor is not willing to approve of . bond authorization un- til he has received report from his investigating committee. I believe 1t would be futile for us to hold . meeting of the board of finance and taxation for the hearing on this mat ter at this time. It would only amount to . gesture and would not help to speed up final action on this matter which is, believe. what yeu are anxious to do.
 "As soon as I can feel assured that the mayor is willing to support and approve. and not veto this ep- plication. I shall be pleased to eau meeting of the board of finance and taxation to take action on ye1r request. l believe that in handling the matter in this way. we will oe acting in the best interests of not only tho city, but also the schoel board. and that the slight delay will be more than made up by bet- ter cooperation and . more rapid authorization of the bond issue than we could secure by endsavoring to take action 1t this time. Yours very truly. "E. F. HALL"

SAY ACCORD WILL
 OFFEND UNCLE SAM
British Press Cridcizes Agree
 ment With France

London. Sept. 22 R)-With terms of the Anglo French naval conn., promise gradually becoming known. the opposition presses today criticis- ed it as bound to offend the United States.
 Even papers not hostile to the government dwelt on the mischief which had been done by the failure of the government to reveal the terms. The papers carried abstracts cabled from the United States after publication by some papers of what purported to be the text.
 The French have been insisting that the terms be revealed immedi- ately, but the British have withheld consent.
 Advices from Geneva assert that the accord covers an agreement be- tween France and Great Britain that disarmament conference shall deal with these classes of naval vessels.
 1-Surface ships of 10000 tons or less armed with guns over six and up to eight inches in calibre.
 2-Ocean going submarines Of more than 600 tons.
 3-Capital ships Of more than 10.- 900 tons or armed with guns ex- ceeding eight inches in calibre.
 4-Airplane carriers of more than 10000 tons.
 The Daily News
 The Daily News said: If Sir Austen Chamberlain (British for eign secretary) really found the compromise hopeful he must be more innocent than anybody thought. It gives Great Britain un- limited small cruisers, France un- limited small submarines and gives America nothing she wanted. It is almost too crude to be true"
 The Socialist Herald said: Pub lication of this document will deep- en the indignation and distrust al- ready aroused in the United States and the results will be disastrous. Anglo-American relations already are none too good, and this folly will make them worse." The Morning Post alone of com- mentations laid the blame for any injury to international relations upon persons in America interested in creating an impression of con- spiracy against the United States and upon ''press utterly unscru- pulous in pursuit of its political end."
 'The transcendent folly" of the British government making a mys- tery of s clumsy and unappetizing document which led the American people to think that Great Britain was trying to hide something" was denounced by the Daily Chronicle.

CURTIS ON BANKS
 0f LITTLE HORN
Nov Campaigning in Real In.
 dian Country

Hardin. Mont. Sept. 22 R-On the banks of the historic little Big Horn river here today. Senator Cur tis. the republican vice presidential nominee, found new bands of his Indian ktnsmen anxious to honor him.
 For days the Crows and the Chey- ennes have been assembling here and they were up early today to welcome their distinguished Kaw friend, whose private car was left here during the night after a ride from Sheridan, Wyo.. where the senator spoke last night. Dressed in their picturesque regalia. the In- dians were preparing to adopt Charlie" Curtis into their tribe. If the opportunity afforded. Chief Plenty Coos of the Crows had made the arrangements for the ceremon- ial.
 Real Indian Country
 This is real Indian country ard it looked the part today with the tribes from all sections of the state encamped about. Not far from here General Custer fought his last fight against the Indians and it was plan ned to show the senator the scene of the massacre later today.
 Senator Curtis welcomed the 1n- dian pow WOW, the second he has attended this week, as a brief inter- lude in his whirlwind campaign Of the northwest. But later today he hurried on to Billings, where he is to speak tonight. The republican vice presidential nominee took the republican campaign into Wyoming last night In . speech to a crowd which overnowed the newly erected tabernacle in which revival services soon will be held. He urged a high CT tariff on agricultural products and attributed the farmers troubles to the Underwood tariff act in ee- feet at the close of the war

NEW ENGLAND TO
 HEAR H00VERLATER
Will Make Speech Just Before
 Leaving for West

Washington. Sept. 22 RNThe controversy stirred up by Alfrtd E. Smiths Oklahoma City declaration on religious intolerance still swirled and eddied today, but Herbert Hoo- yer was silent on the subject as he worked away on the next address Of his campaign.
 The repubncan presidential candi- date seems to be content to stand on the statement he made in. his &C., ceptance address. Then he said that "by blood and conviction ] stand for religious tolerance both in act and spirit" adding that "the glory of our American ideals is the right of every man to worship God according to the dictate of his own con- science"
 May Force Him to Talk
 Whether the development of the campaign will lead him to make an- other pronouncement upon the sub ject only the future can tell. Those who profess to know his views assert that decision to do so would be reached only with great reluctance.
 Prohibition is another subject on which the republican nominee does not intend to have more to say dur ing the campaign, although it has been repeatedly reported that he would go into that proposition again in his Ellzabethton, Tenn. speech on October 6.
 Under present plans there will be no addresses before that one and none between that and the one at New York city on October 16. The New England speech will be made late in the campaign shortly before his departure for California.
 Works on Speech
 Hoover finds time only intermit- tently for work on the Elizabethton speech, but he is giving as much ef- fort to it as he can. Visitors who come to see him now find him writing away on a pad, which he lays aside to talk with them, but few realize that he thus is preparing a campaign address.
 Much of his time is taken up with conferences. On his calling list today were several visitors, among them Senator Pine of Oklahoma, bringing fresh reports from his state, where the democratic candidate spoke Thursday night. Another is Repre- Hamilton Fish of New York, who is doing campaign work in the east for the national ticket.

WANT IMMEDIATE
 WORK IN SAN JUAN
Porto Rico 1fyB to Find Elm.
 leymtat if People

oan Juan. Porto Rico. Sept. :c N Tearing that permanent disaster would result if relief work were pro- longed to the point of charity. Porto Rican leaders today were consider ing how the problem might be met by immediate employment. In the hope that . definite program might be planned. Chairman Andres Cam dia of the Porto Rico Red Cross called . meeting of representatives from all towns for Monday.
 Returning from a three day sur vey of the districts devastated by the hurricane. | medical commission re- ported that the people who suffered most were the rural Jivaros. or country workers. In normal times they have next to nothing and now they have not even that.
 FACo Hard Task
 The physicians were convinced that long. difficult and essential task faced the relief forces in en- ahling at least one-third of the island's popualtion to become self sustaining. They were prepared to suggest no means to do this.
 In some towns they found that un- der intelligent local leadership there we're already evidences of beginnings made toward . new life.
 Tho physicians who made the sur vey were Colonel Bailey K. Ashford. U. s. medical corps, retired:. Dr. Robert A. Lambert. head of the school of tropical medicine of the University of Porto Rico and Colum- bia University; and Dr. Walter A. Glines, who has had 20 years ex- perience in tropical medicine. They will embody their impressions in report to the secretary of war.
 The physicians believed that in some places part of the coffee crop, Q vital economic factor, might be salvaeed. The extent of the damage to the coffee trees which will deter mine the crop for the next five years would be learned only in time.
 Motor trucks. loaned by civilians reinforced the national guard and army vehicles rushing food to the in- land points. In ohe morning enough food to last 25,OO0 persons one day was moved out of San Juan.
 Comes to Aid
 The Dominican Republic has come to the aid of Porto Rico sending plantains, yams. yautia and other foods which the islanders usually eat. President Vasquez of the re- public cabled the Red Cross asking where fresh fruits and vegetables could best be landed.
 Widespread destruction of public schools has brought forth charges of faulty construction. In recent years many towns have been build ing elaborated and costly concrete schools and most of these crumbled while nearby buildings supposed to be of inferior construction weather ed the storm.
 Restoration of mall delivery de- veloped 8 postal problem. Letter carriers were bringing back hun dreds qf piScAa .pf. mall addressed to homes that no longer exist. These will heye to be held until now ad- dressep are furnished or until they are c6aled for at the post offices.
