LINDBERGH IS
ACCLAIMED AT
HAITI TODAY
President B0rnO Welcomes Fa-
NOUS Flyer-PeaSants Hail
Boyish American

Port-au-P Prince, Haiti, Feb. T.
(AP)-With boundless enthusiasm,
Haiti continued en- fete today for
the "great silver eagle" which
dropped on q peaceful mission from
the pale blue tropical skies at the
appointed hour. Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh, who idled in the clouds
50 as not to arrive from Santo Do
mingo ahead of time, will leave for
Havana tomorrow, continuing his
good will cruise.
President Borno hailed him "as a
radiant messenger Of the greatest
things in the world, namely, sure
science, dauntless courage, and un-
flinching faith"
The peasants acclaimed Lindbergh
as "gros chef" In soft voices they
cried, "Vive, Bon Papa" Ninety
per cent of them illiteratc, they
could not comprehend his transit
lantic flight, but they hailed the
boyish American who passed arlong
them smiling, and extended to him
their natural hospitality.
Frightened by First Plane
Eight years ago in the hills of
Haiti the peasants, who had once
been negro slaves, saw their first
airplane. It was an American ma
rine plano scouting for bandits.
Word was spread by conck horns
and voodoo drums of the magic
flight of "great white bat" The
bandits later timorously attacked
and abandoned the plane, slashing
its wings to kill the great bird.
Half an hour before the time
scheduled for its arrival, tho peas
ants saw the Spirit of st. Louis, to
them "the great silver eagle" ap-
pear. 1t was 5000 feet above the
5000 foot barrier Of the mountains.
Realizing. that he was ahead Of
time, Lndbergh disappeared.
It nearcd 2 o'clock, the hour that
Lindbergh had set 10 days before
for his arrival. Suddenly the plane
darted out Of the clouds and sped
like q silver lance straight for the
target-Bowen field. It was exactly
2 o'clock when he landed.
The first question Colonel Lind
bergh asked Brigadier General John
Henry Russell, United States high
commissioner, was: "Well, general,
did get in on time :"
When assured that he die, with
his boyish smile the flyer said:
"Finel tried TO-"
President Welcomes Him
In English. President Borno well
coined the flyer. He hailed him ~
q smiling conqueror and the hero Of
all the world, who by undaunted
courage and rare simplicity had in
spired all.
Mademoiselle Yvone Mathon
niece Of the president Of the negro
republic, stepped forward and hand.

The Resolutions

ION the 11th Of this month our

Samuel L. Nuchols, laid down the
burdens Of this life. He was only
fifty-six years old. We honor snd
revere his memory. He had that
rare courtesy and charm Of manner
which can only emanate from skind
and friendly heart. His nature was
unselfish and he cared mere for his
. fellowmen than for wealth and
professional reputation and success,
But he was successful, because he
gained the love Of not only the
members Of his profession, but Of
all who had the privilege Of know

Although seven names still were
being mentioned here today as pos
sible Nonpartisan endorses for the
Republican gubernatorial lon1ina-
ton, only five were considered as
being actually in the running. OF
these three were said by Nonpar-
tisan political observers today to be
well in front of the remainder.
The three leading candidates. ac-
cording to gossip in the hotel lob
bies, are Lieutenant Governor Wal
ter Maddox, Plaza; Seth Richard
son, Fargo, United States district
attorney for North Dakota, and A..
j. Scott, Grand Forks, secretary Of
tho North Dakota Wheat Growers
Association, . cooperative market
ing venture. CT these Scott was the
only candidate here at noon today.
C.. A. Fisher, who will retire as
state treasurer at the completion Of
his present term, and Thorstein H.
Thoresen, state tax commissioners,
were other possible endorses. The
same persons who would support
Fisher would also support Thoresen,
according to observers here. These
persons believe that neither has a
chance to win unless tho other is
eliminated early.
Will Get Frazier Support
Richardson, who was appointed
United States district attorney with
the support of the late Senator T..
F. Ladd, and reappointed with the
support Of Senator Lynn ]. Frazier,
is expected to draw q considerable
part Of the Frazier support and
some support from the "oil crowd"
The latter designation applies to
Nonpartisans who have been associ-
ated recently with A. G. Townley
in the promotion Of various oil de-
velopment ventures.
The 'soil crowd" however, Is said
to be divided and prepared to give
some votes to each Of the three lead
i'm candidates. Maddox, who has
been actively associated with the oil
promotion venture, is expected to
draw the bulk Of their support.
SCOTS support is expected to
come from rural districts which
have been organized for him by
agents of the wheat growers asso-
citation. Some delegates arriving
here today professed the opinion
that Scott is, in reality, th~ candi-
date favored BY the Sorlie admins
tration.
Sorlie May b Nominated
That Sorlie's name will come be-
fore the convention seemed certain
but the manner in which it will ap-
pear was IN doubt. Recently it was
said that . movement had developed
to nominate the executive for Z
third term but some delegates ar
irving today expressed themselves
as unalterably opposed to such Z
move. A few went so far a. to say
that they would bolt the organiza-

APPLICATIONS
FOR TAX CUTS
SIDERED
City Commission Acts Favor.
ably Upon Two-Takes No
Action on Third

Applications for abatement OF
taxes occupied the attention of the
city commission during the greater
part Of its regular meeting Monday
night. Two were given favorable
action while no action was taken on
the third.
F. w. Murphy was granted = re-
duction in the assessment Of the
Rose apartments for 1923, when he
showed that his taxes on the prop.
erty for that year were almost
doubled over those Of other years.
This was because Of the fact that the
state board Of equalization in 1923
raised the assessments Of all resi-.
dences 20 per cent, and the Rose
apartments then came under the
residence" heading.
The city commission recommended
that the county board make the 400
per cent assessed value Of the build.
ing for 1923 $4,000 instead Of $22,.
400, which will reduce the taxes fol
the year approximately $3.50.
". p. George requested . reduc.
ton Of assessment and abatement Of
taxes on the property at the corner
OF Rosser avenue and First street
but no action was taken.
The commission recommended that
the assessed valuation Of the south.

Of the city, be reduced to such q
figure that the taxes for 1927, fig.
ured under the city rate, will be up.

adjoining quarter sections ~ fig
ured under the Hay Greek rate.
Taxes More Than Doubled

A Van Hook delega ION failed to

Repairs to the road approaching
the WilIiston bridge. damaged by
water during the ice gorge at the
