 On Antarctic Expedition Sept. 10
Hopes to Return in June, 1929, But May Be Delayed
 Another Year-Plans Practically Completed.

 Byrd declared he hoped to return to the United States from the south pole region in June, 1929. but added that conditions there might make it necessary for him to remain until June of 1930.
 Byrd elaborated on his plans for the Antarctic experttion by saying that he would take 100 dogs instead of 50 he first thought necessary With these he will establish bases end landing fields on the Ross ice barrier to within 1000 miles of the south pole. The final air flight will be 5000 miles over an ice field never before revealed to man.

IDENTITY OF KAPLAN
 ONCE MORE IN DOUBT
Prisoner Unknown at Ad. dress Given in H0lyOke,
 Mass.

The correct name of the young man who was arrested in Hartford Sunday afternoon for theft of an automobile and carrying concealed weapon. was in doubt again today, when word was received from Hol- yoke, Mass, that there is no Michael kaplan at 20 Lyman street in that place. There are Walter. Raymond and George kaplan at the address given by the young gunman, who ad- mitted to the local police that he held up Officer Eugene kieffer and took his pistol from him while the latter was in an automobile on East street about ? o'clock last Saturday morning, but Michael kaplan is not known there.
 Chief w. C. Hart of the police de- partment said today it has been de- cided not to bring kaplan to this city for court arraignment but war rants charging him with burglary and highway robbery in this city will be sworn out and lodged against him when he appears in superior court in March. He was bound over in $1O,000 bonds in Hartford police court yesterday and in de- fault of bonds was taken to Hart ford county jail. Chief Hart said he will be arraigned in the local court in the event that he is able to raise the $10,O00 bond, which does not seem probable at this time.
 Officer kieffer. who has been un- der suspension since the hold-up told his story of the incident to the committee on rules and discipline last night. and it was decided tc acquaint the full board of police commissioners with all tho facts in the case. The board will decide whether to punish the officer on the evidence at hand or give him a hear ing. Meanwhile, his suspension re- mains in force. It is probable that meeting will be beld sooner than the date for tlre regular February meeting to take action.

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER
 PINNED AGAINST POLE
Skidding Auto Injures Miss Knapp on West
 Main Street

Pinned against telephone pole by an automobile owned by Nathan E.. Mag and driven by his son, Samuel Mag, of 73 Lincoln street, about 1850 last evening, Mrs. Idella Knapp, a members of the Senior High school faculty was painfully though not seriously injured. She is confined to bed at her home, 50 Vine street. and will probably be unable to attend to her duties for several days al least.
 Mrs. Knapp was standing on the sidewalk at the corner of Vine and West Main streets. waiting for a trolley car, when Mag's automobile. skidded on the car tracks and swerv- ed to the side of the roadway. Mrs. Knapp did not have time to escape being struck. She was taken to her home in Mag's automobile and Dr. George W. Dunn was called. Officer Peter Cabelus reported no cause for police action. The pavement was slippery. he said. and according to Mag, he was driving at the approxi- mate speed of 15 miles an hour.
 Officer Cabelus questioned Arnold L. Mills of Cedar street. who was with Mag and J. E. Andrew of 157 Green street, Bristol. who witnessed the accident, and both said Mag was powerless 10 prevent it.
 Automobile drivers experienced difficulty controlling their machines throughout the city last night be- cause of the slippery condition of pavements. Numerous minor acci- dents were reported. Machines were unable to climb even slight grades and it was no unusual sight to sec groups of cars standing at all angles to the cubstones.

 Stranger

Smith Col lege student missing since last Fri day, was expressed today by George B. Ward of 1334 Summer street, this city today.
 MT.

He had just stopped to permit the latter to alight when the girl ap- preached his car and placing her hand on the handle of the rear door. opened it and asked if he was looking for her. At that time. he thought that she had come from one of the houses nearby and thinking that his son might know her. he questioned him. The youth, however, ad never seen the girl before. After apologixing the girl started walking back up the main highway at a rapid rate.
 MT. Wards attention was attract ed to the girls rather haggard ap- pearance. Her hair was disheveled and as he recalled, she was wearing no gloves. The incident caused him considerable thought but 1t was not until yesterday that he read of the disappearance of Miss Smith. He immediately communicated with Mir. Smith by telephone and last night additional information was sought from him by Attorney Hammond of Northampton. who was assisting in the search for the missing girl.
 Mir. Ward also stated that he wes talking to parties in Deerfield by telephone this morning at 1o:30 o'clock and was informed that both MT. and Mrs. Smith were in that city today following up what tho authori- ties believed the most plausible clue yet received.

WIRELESS PERMITS ARE BEING ARGUED
Federal Radio Commission Opens
 Hearings Today
NO DECISION LIKELY NOW
Board to Lay Down Policy for Future Guidance-ShOrt Waves or High Frequency Broadcasting is Subject of Conference,

Washington, Jan. IT R-Hearings on the wide variety of claims of commerce and industry for alloca- tions of short wave or high fre& quency radio broadcasting channels were opened today by the federal radio commission.
 The claims of the commercial in- terests will be weighed by the com- mission against those of the gov ernment to determine the possible interference such assignments might have on wireless transmission by the army. navy and other government agencies operating on similar wave lengths.
 In opening the hearings, Commis- sioner Sykes explained that the com- mission would make no disposition of the waves at this time, but would seek to lay down general policy for future guidance.
 short Wave Scope l Dr. J. H. Dellinger of the bureau
 Of standards radto laboratory, also
 gave a brief statement of the scope
 of short waves, declaring there were approximately 2,000 channels avail
 able. He cautioned. however, that
 careful scrutiny of the applications for allocations should be made to avoid interference.
 Newspaper and press service rep
 resentatives were teh first to be heard.
 Joseph Pearson. representing the American Publishers committee. de clared that the radio had proved in- dispensable in the collection and dis semination of news and that it's use fulness was increasing. Wire com munication cannot handle the con- plete news report he said. News Man Tcsttfics John E. Costello, representing the San Francisco Examiner and Hearst news services, said that the point to-point communication by short waves was supplementing the wire service which in many cases has
 been inadequate.
 Radio has inflinged the field of the press" he said.
 Three million dollars has been spent for radio advertising in the last ten months throughout broad casting chain alone. The news papers revenue has thus been cut down materially and it seems only fair to allow newspapers to use the radio for news gathering" Others Interested
 Others interested in the short wave hearings and whose claims will be heard include ranch owners, resort operators, department store chains, interurban bus systems, air plane operating companies. naviga- tion. railroad and mining interests, farm cooperatives, motion picture producers, police and fire alarm systems, radio manufacturers, tele- vision inventors. packers and ship pers, lumber companies forest and watershed controls electric rail- roads and power transmission con- panies.
