ARCTIC PARTY gNDANGEREDBY f HUGE ICEBERGS Wind-Driven Floes Imperil 1 Planes in Bay at Etah, Greenland. Bv United Pres* l WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Details of a narrowly averted Arctic tragedy filtered into the Navy Department today by radio from the Donald B. McMillan Navy polar exploring party. | Continual pounding on the frozen Arctic surf sprung the seams of the NA-2, one of the three planes of the ■expedition. While being hoisted aboard the flagship Peary to be repaired, monster icebergs drifted into the harbor at Utah, Greenland, where the other two planes were moored. [■ The iceberg descended on the flagship, threatening destruction, while terrified members of the party worked frantically to rescue their planes and ship from Us path. The planes are the sole means by which the explorers hope to reach their goal—the north pole. Finally all three were brought out of their periled position to safety, according to the radio dispatches, but only after all the members of the party had suffered agony from exposure in the harsh frigid temperature. The report of this near disasterfollowed earlier reports that he and members of the expedition are growing impatient over the bad weather which is hindering them, with only seventeen days of flying time left, and new difficulties arising. Messages received by the National Geographic Society indicated that fliers would make another attempt soon to set up t.heir advance base, stating that the planes would leave during the day for Flagler Bay to put in a cache of fuel oil. MacMillan reported that it will be necessary to make ten flights over the high peaks of Ellesmere Island in order to lay down sufficient fuel to make a temporary base worth while. The last message from MacMillan said: “Wind blowing hard from the north, but with clearing weather. Small icebergs driven by wind and tide constantly threatening planes." MAYOR FIRM UPON BUDGET Health Board Plea Falls on Deaf Ears. Mayor Shank today withstood an attempt to raise the budget for 1926 following his capitulation to the city plan commission Thursday. Shank refused to raise the health board tax levy allowance for next year from 9 to 9% cents, as requested by Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary, to remove the necessity of temporary loans similar to the one for $150,000 consummated this year. “They’ll get SIB,OOO from the increase in valuation and will save more than $20,000 by motorizing the staff of health inspectors,” said Shank. He said he is considering taking action against the school board’s request for a $1,500,000 boost in its 1926 budget. DEBT PARLEY ADJOURNS — i President to Dictate Policy on Belgian Negotiations.

‘Knocking’ on Dry Law, Says Lew Thirst, drought, lack of liquid refreshments. Mayor Shank today said he believed be had discovered the principal grievance of those who “knock” Indianapolis to be their inability to get a drink because police are enforcing the bone-dry law. “A fellow told me that at the Indianapolis Athletic Club the other day,” he said. “Say, that tickled me to death.” The lure of Florida may be accountable for this by its proximity to the moist lands of the Caribbean Sea, according to Shank.

M’CRAY PARDON DELEGATION IN HOPEFUL MOOD Friends of ex-Governor Return From Washington. Leaders dt the Washington delegation seeking a pardon for former Governor Warren T. McCray, now serving a ten-year sentence at Atlanta following his conviction on a charge of using the mails to defraud, today expressed hope that their efforts would be successful. James W. Noel, McCray s attorney, said he believed the public generally in favor of McCray’s pardon, despite the fact that the former Governor’s trial officials are thought to look with disfavor on the pardon. Back From Washington William P. Evans, McCray's son-in-law, Noel, George M. Barnard, attorney, and William A Guthrie, chairman of the State conservation commission, returned from Washington Thursday. “We are hopeful that, we will be successful in securing a pardon,” Evans said today, but he declined to discuss the situation further. United States district Attorney Albert Ward was expected to receive a copy of the pardon application from Washington, today. Ward is spending a few days' vacation at Lake Alunitou. Will Bear Weight While Washington dispatches assert the Department of Justice will have no prejudice in cemsidering tlie pardor petition because McCrays trial officials were not among the petitioners it is believed here considerable weight will be given to the opinion of Judge Albert B. Anderson and Homer Elliott, former District Attorney. Judge Anderson, who sentence I McCray and Elliott, w'ho prosecuted the case are both opposed to recommending McCray’s pardon, it is said. Elliott has refused to make any public statement. Friends of the former Governor admit they do not expect action on their petition for at least six weeks. DAIRY EXPERT TALKS w. E.

ABUNDANCE OF TEACHERS WANT OLD JOBS BACK 1,400 on Waiting List, Many Will Migrate to Other States. With practically every school teaching vacancy In Indian filled, and with more than 1,400 unfilled applications on file with the State department of public instruction, department officials today predicted an unprecedented rush of prospective teachers to neighboring States within the next few weeks. Principal reason for the superabundance of qualified teachers this year, officials of the department said, is the present business depression.

Many persons havlrL used teaching as a stepping stJna, hav* been forced to return to l the profession because of dullness in other lines of work. Hack In Fold Former teachers, some of whom have been out of the game as long as fifteen years, have taken the training necessary to qualify under the present strict requirements and are back at it, It was pointed out today. v Other reasons to which the flow in the teaching population me.v be ascribed: 1. Small number of changes in supervisory teaching pooitlons. hence the small number of vacancies. Broad Teaching 2. Smaller schools demand teach er*s who are qualified to Instruct in combinations of subjects, whereas average teacher of today has spe clalized in one subject and cannot meet wide requirements. 3. Comparative ease with which persons can qualify for teaching In common schools has resulted In a heavy surplus of applicants in this line.
