LEAD WILL BE 2,000
Vote Will Be Large and Delegates Majority Forecasts Triumph
 ant Reelection.

Charles A. Sulzer is leading Nal oney by more than three to one in the First, Third and Fourth Divis- ions, and in the Second he is only 101 behind. He has a long lead combined.
 Wickersham has got more votes than Maloney in both the Third and Fourth Divisions where there were spirited contests for Republican Leg islative nominations, though in those Divisions Sulzer got nearly 65 per cent of all the votes cast notwith- standing there were no contests for places on the Democratic tickets
 Last night The Empire received a dispatch from the Fourth Division showing much larger vote in the Fourth Division than that contained in the table above for both Sulzer and Maloney, and slightly larger vote for Wickersham. The figures were Sulzer 1921, Maloney 447. Wick ersham 370. A subsequent dispatch from another source showed SulZer 506, Maloney "A and Wickersham 325 in the Fourth Division. The figures for Delegate in the first telegram were the totals as far as gathered by the News-Miner for the whole Territory, and the second telegram contained the totals for the Fourth Division.
 SuIzer Will Have 2,000 Majority
 The returns as far as reported give Sulzer a majority over Maloney of approximately 1,500, and if he con tinues his present rate of gain his majority will exceed 2,000, and it may considerably exceed that figure.
 In the First Division Sulzer has a lead over Maloney of 700 and it should be increased by at least 100 votes Sulzer, Tokeen and other pre- cincts are expected to add materially to Sulzer's First Division majority. Iditarod. Flat and the Innoko coun- try will aid him also as should the unreported precincts from the Third Division.

LONDON, May 3.-Reuter's cor respondent this afternoon said there were indications that the Germans had shifted the point of their at tack from the Ypres sector farther south and were preparing for an- other drive to channel ports from the Lys river sector. He said news had been received of heavy bom- bardment opened in that district. It is too early yet to predict wheth- CT the bombardment presages To- cal attack, or another big offensive to try and drive the German wedge from a new point.
 LONDON, May 3.-OfficiaI morn ing advices say that the German newspapers in commenting on the Ypres battle say: "AlI of Ypres is not of importance, and the German command may decide not to take Ypres."
 The French attacked yesterday be tween Rallies Castle, southeast of Amiens, and captured Hill No. 82 and the Wood on the Avre river nearby.
 With a IuIl in the fighting since the Germans were defeated at Ypres, all the German talk of the kaiser's battle has vanished. German ex perts and newspapers have been in structed to warn the public that no new Sedan battle is possible; that Ypres Is a very strong position and that the British fought stubbornly to hold 1t.

POTATOES COST CITY
 s4.1sIz PER BUsHEL
Selling Price $f.95 High and 10 Cent Low--Thanks for Making
 Success

New Britain's venture in the realms of municipal farming cost the taxpayers $10, ,934,70. Auditor William R. Rossberg presented "a supplement tary and final report" for the muni- ctpal farm committee last evening and it showed the sale of 4,94s 5-12 bushels of potatoes for which the city received $7,063.83. Prices ranged from $1.s5 per busheI down to 10 cents per bushel. Three bushels were sold at that price. The average price per bushel was $1.4o and the cost of the potatoes was about S4.1S 1-2 cents per bushel
 The cash deposited with the city treasurer was $7,SS0.54 and the in ventory shove $1,433.64 giving total assets of the venture as $s,a14.1s. The total cash disbursements were S19,499.5S and there is also an un- paid bill for $799.35 for police serv- ices, making a grand total expense of the project of s2o,24s.ss.
 While the degree of success at- tained was not all that could be de- sired, 1t was through no fault of your committee, but to conditions that could not be foreseen, and circun- stances over which it had no con trol." says the report.
 Thanks were expressed to all who assisted in making the project a suc- cess and recommended that the va- rious machinery and materials be turned over to the town farm.
 Councilman Gorbach said that he saw no other way than to accept the report, but he hoped that dn the future 1t would be referred to before a. similar veture was undertaken.
 Alderman Curtis inquired about the machinery, saying that he had supposed that was going to be sold to cut down the deficit. MT. ROSS berg said that during the summer the equipment was used by the nonae gardens committee of the chamber of commerce. He said if the council so directed 1t could be sold. On the motion of Alderman Curtis the report was tabled for printing in the minutes.

recommendation was prompted by a. desire to do him a personal favor.'


 Alderman Paonessa, took the floor at once and remarked with some heat on the report. He caused the city clerk to read Mir. Litke's rec ommendation from Chief Rawlings which was as follows:
 "I regret that this matter could not be settled by the police commission CTS" said Alderman Paonessa. Tt was true that Iitke and 8, superior had a disagreement. The chief of police knew what had transpired. It didn't stop with one time and rather than have any trouble Litke rendered his resignation and it was accepted for the benefit of the service''. understand that to mean the depart ment is better without you He peti- toned for a hearing and it was not given. Is this common council noth ing but bunch of fgureheads? A man who has served the city faith fully is let go. The chief recom- mended that the resignation be ac- cepted for the benefit of the service, and yet he gave him a good recon mendation. Does that agree with the action it did. That doesn't hold wa Let us place ourselves in Litke's place. The records as they now stand are g. blot on his reputation.
 Why don't they give him hear ing? Is it because they are afraid he is~ going to expose somebody? Stuff like that is good enough for Germany, but not for the U. s. A
 Tn reply to a question by Council man Gorbach as to the power of the common council in the matter Pres ident Richards said that he under stands the council has no power.
 Report Does Not Hold Water.
 Alderman Curtis regretted that the matter came up as the board has full power and perhaps it is we'll that it should be that way. He then called attention to the fact that the res1g- nation was made out in June and the officer terminated his services June 30, yet on July the board took the actio it did. That doesn't hold wa ter very we'll" said Alderman Cur tis He did not think the board had 8 right to blacklist a man. If the board felt 1t had control of the off, cer up to July 1t should have called him in and he did not think the board was justified in hitching on the clause flor the good of the service. Alderman Curtis said he did not think the police commission handled the matter right.
 The report was tabled until the next meeting.

POLICE BOARD GETS
 SHARP CRITICISM
Report Of Litke Case Cause for
 CauStiC Remarks

A report of the board of police commissioners on it's action in the acceptance of the resignation of for mer Patrolman Gustav Litke for "the benefit of the service" was received by the common council at it's meeting last evening and was subjected to se- we're criticism on the part of members of the council. Alderman A. M. Paon- nessa, who championed the cause of MT Litke. declared the action of the board was good enough for Ger many, but not for the r. S. A." AL derman Curtis, also criticized the re- port of the commission
 The police commissions statement was as follows:
 MT. Litke's resignation was pre- sented to the chief of police on June 27. The next meeting of the com mission was held July 5. The resig- nation was forwarded to me at once. and I assumed that Mr Litke would wait 8 few days, but was informed on
  department at once, without awaiting the action of the board I called at the police station and requested the captain, in the absence of the chief to call MT. Litke's attention to the fact that he should allow his resigna- tion to be passed upon by the board before leaving, in order that his rec ord would be clear. The captain spoke with MT. Litke and told him that he was automatically discharg- ing himself when entered other en1- ployment before his resignation had been passed upon. MT. Litke per sisted and left the department on June 30 to take another position.
 The matter was brought before our meeting on July and the chief reported the circumstances which led up to the resignation. They were in substance as follows:
 "M. Litke had not been in the hab- it of receiving suggestions or instruc- tions from his sergeant with good grace. He made it 8 practice to ar gue with him, and, in general, his bearing towards his sergeant was provocative. A few days prior to his resignation, he had an altercation WlJn sergeant JOnTSCn, Wh1CH O6V6l- oped into a heated argument
 "The board felt the city was en- titled to reasonable consideration at the hands of it's employees, especial ly at a time like this, when the pres ervauon of public order was of such importance and the police depart ment was short of help; that such consideration was not shown by an officer who left his position in q. fit of anger and on account of an argu- ment which grew out of an effort of his superior officer to instruct him in his duties, and who, if he had any complaint to make of his treatment. could have an opportunity to bring it before the board by waiting a. few days.
 "On recommendation of the chief. his resignation was accepted, for the good of the service. No hearing was considered necessary, as MT. Litke was no longer a mem Der of the de- partment, having accepted another position.
 MT. Litke's statement that his res ignation was put in with the consent of the chief is not in agreement with the chiefs version of the matter. The chief made out his resignation be- cause MT. Litke insisted upon 1t. contrary to the advise of the chief The chiefs action in giving him a

New Business Practices.

New legislation in the matter of transacting city business Is proposed in resolutions offered by Alderman Curtis. Both matters were referred to the ordinance committee. One reso- lution directs that city officials and commissions making purchases of material or labor involving an out lay of $25 or more shall receive bids from not less than two bidders and where the amount involved is in ex- cess of $100 a contract therefor shall be entered into. Alderman Curtis explained that the purpose is to pre- vent carte blanche purchases. It seems to him to be a, wise precau- ton and will tend to economy. The other resolution expressly prohibits commissioners from making pur- chases from themselves or from cor porations in which they have a live money interest. Tn explanation he said now members can pass upon their own bills and because members like to work in harmony one commits sioner might not like to question a fellow commissioners bill.
