WOOD RIVER NOT SHOWN IN LIST 103-Pound Fish Caught at Mouth of the Missouri tho absence of Superintendent of W. R. Curtis from the city to- an interview was secured from E.

J. Verlle, who was the counsel In the case In which tho validity of the Godfrey school district was cjfiestlon- eiH, and In which the Supremo Court knokned out the Godfrey district. Mr. Verlle said today that he had not seen a copy ot tho Supreme Court decision as yet but he assumed that tho Telegraph had a correct statement of the case. As In his statement on the published account In the Telegraph, Mr.

Verlle said that ho assumed that the Godfrey district automatically comes back Into the Alton Community school district. He Bald that if this Is the case that the Godfrey school directors cease to function and that the Alton School Board will supercede It In the duty ot levying school taxes on the territory In the Godfrey district. Mr. Verlle said that he had purposely delayed appealing the case to the Supreme Court for the reason that, if the court would decide aa It did, he did not wish to embarrass the God frey directors In the collection of Us school taxes. Tho taxes, he said have all been collected now, or practically BO, and It Is too late to file any objec tlons to any tax levied by the God frey directors.

The Supreme Court (decision can therefore make no differ ence In that direction. But, Mr. Ver lie Bald, the Alton Community Consol Idated Board levy the school tax for the whole territory originally In eluded In the Alton Community Con solldated school district for the coming year, and the Godfrey school teachers will have to be engaged by tho Alton board. it Is not assumed that there will ay Important opposition to what i done for the reason that th rey school directors were most de eirous to have the Alton board flle th friendly suit to test the validity of th. withdrawal of Godfrey from the ton school district, and before the A ton board would make a move it in slsted that the Godfrey board plac their request in writing, and give as surance that there would be no il feeling no matter how the case cam out, that Alton would be acting request, and not through any deslr on its own part to hold Godfrey In th Alton district.

The children, he says, are taking much interest in the program outlined for them. Now that the enrollment has reached a good figure, groups are being formed to take up various sorts ot handicraft work in addition to the program of gamer-.

High Band Joins With Cardinals in Celebration OLD SECTIONS TO BE REPLACED WITH NEW BY JOHN LAURENS VAX ZANT (Telegraph Correspondent). SPRINGFIELD. June $23.054.63 will be paid by tho state Madison County If Governor Len Small signs the. bill to pay for state Id roads taken over by the Depart- nent of Public Works and Buildings.

Tho measure went through the louse late yesterday, after passing tho Senate last week. It is an administration measure, sponsored by Senator Richard Meents. jhnlrraan of the Senate appropriations committee. It carries out tho state policy ot encouraging of state aid roads which will then ie taken over and paid for by the highways division. The work Is done under the supervision of state highway engineers, and the roads are then incorporated In the state road system.

The money which Is refunded may be used retire bonded Indebtedness incurred In road construction, or it may be used to pave nyre state aid routes. If the new roads are built, they will be taken over in like manner by the highways division. This is in line with the policy of encouraging the development of secondary roads as tributaries to the $100,000,000 and the $60,000,000 bond issue routes. The total refunds carried in the Meen.ta bill amount to $2,704,518.95. Counties all over the state are included in the list of beneficiaries.

The largest award is to Sangamon County which gets $572.109.87. Cook gets $505.955.35. St. Clair County is 'third with $449,995.24. The figure named in the foregoing apparently does not include a refund to the city of Wood River for the paving of Wood River avenue.

It will be recalled that Wood River authorities had been informed that the city was not included. The Wood River avenue paving was put down four years ago at a cost of $60,000. The city confidently expected reinbursement under the bond.issue bill, but, as told in the TelegrapSi on June 12, Frank N. Sheets, superin tendent of state highways, wrote to City Counsellor Manning that Wood River was not included. The matter was then to ba taken up with C.

Although It was doubtful whether or not enough members of the band could mnke the, trip to make It worth while, 2fl of the musicians turned out to see the ball game and help celebrate with the St. Louis team. The High School Band was the only organization of Us kind in the downtown parade, there being no boys' bands In St. Louis. Numerous boys' drum and bugle corps filled out the parade.

The local boys wore their capes and caps and made a snappy appearance in the parade. Tho Alton musicians were delayed at East St. Louis and on this account had to cut into the parade when it was half finished, but. when they did get in they tore Into their job and made a. lasting Impression on St.

Louisans of what can bo done in Alton. After their arrival at the ball park the band had some competition with a final dividend due the depositors nnd essary to sacrifice a portion of what I Bt Louis professional band, but the locals held up their end of the argu- creditors by that time, as has been expected. It was thought that these claims would be passed upon hy the Court tho latter part of this month.

June announcement Small had signed the Chicago Sanitary District bond increase bill, was made at the executive, offices today. Final adjournment Cif the legislature Is now expected to take place some time tomorrow. The legislature moved rapidly toward sine die adjournment today when the word went out that Governor Small had signed the Chicago Sanitary District bond increase bill. It was the open intention of assembly leaders yesterday tn remain until the governor acted on the sanitary district bill. ing exactly with the specifications, but the manner ot laying them was wrong.

The workmen allowed too much space to be left between them. That made gaping cracks which destroyed any Illusion there might have been otherwise that the columns were made of one piece Instead of many pieces. It would be impractical to have columns' so high as the two involved made of one piece BO they were made of layers. It was learned today that the contractors have been ordered to take out the objectionable parts and to replace them with new pieces of terra cotta, which have to be moulded and burned for the purpose. It would not be possible to take out the old pffeces and use them over for the reason it will be necessary to damage the old ones In taking them out, so they could not be used when the job Is remade.

It will take a long time, before the change can be made. It may not be until after the bank is occupied. It was learned today from a bank official that work on tho two columns had been condemned hy the architect and that It will be done over. The Alton National Bank Is paying for very attractive building in which the hc-st of workmanship will be shown, and that is the reason why the change in the columns has been ordered. ment fairly well for their ages.

As a. prelude to the jubilee ceremonies and speaking the St. Louis Knot Holers and other organizations marched around the ball grounds led by the St. Louis band. The Alton High Band was In the parade too and carried a banner to let everyone know where it was from.

When the parade had passed the half-way mark around the grounds, Walter young Cardinal pitcher, took the drum major's baton and cap from Earl Hair, the band's own drum major, and led the musicians to the end of the parade. The band went to St. Louis in one of the big Reilly busses which was hired by the Rotary Club for the trip. Tuesday the Alton High musicians will make the trip again with the Alton Knot Holers under the auspices of the Club. It is thought this trip will be made In machines belonging to Kiwanians.

By Associated Press. NEW YORK, June and scientists rejoiced with laymen, in all parts of the world today at the safe return of the Amundsen-Ellaworth North Pole airplane expedition. The return to King's Bay, Spitzbergen, yesterday was exactly 28 dayi after hopping off. Though the expedition fell 100 miles short of landing at the pole and was compelled to return partly In one plane and partly by fishing schooners, scientists expect to glean much ble knowledge from the flight. Donald B.

MacMillan, who salla tomorrow from Wlscasset, Maine, at tho head of the' All-American arctic expedition, admitted that a big burden had been lifted off his mind. Amundsen's safe return, he said, would enable hltti to devote all his energies to science, instead of first hunting for the Amundsen party. He also altered his so that the airplane base of the expedition will now be established at Caps Thomas Hubbard Instead of Cape Columbia. Falls To Find Land. Although his trip ended 100 miles from the" pole, Amundsen reduced the unexplored area of the Arctic considerably.

From Ice and current conditions, explorers believed that there was no land between Spitsbergen and the Arctic, and this Is confirmed by Amundsen's return without news of land. Expeditions from Greenland, Spitzbergen and from Franz' Joseph Land north of Europe 'make it practically certan that no land, with the posslbla exception of small islands, exists on that' side of the pole. A great wedga which lies between the Siberia and Alaska, is as yet unaccounted for, and there is some evidence that a small continent or an archipelago exists there. The tide moves through' from the Greenland Sea to Bering Strait way as gest that it is obstructed by a body of land north of Alaska and Siberia, and birds have, been reported flying north from Wrangel Island, as If they had land nearer the pole to which to fly. The safe, return of Amundsen will haye a great bearing on MacMillan's air expedition to discover, the supposed new lands.
