Two Candidates
Two local men are seeking favor
at the hands Of the voters today as
candidates for the vacancy on the

garage owner and automobile deal
er, who previously served on the

Wachter, a member of the Wachter
Transfer company, and son Of the
deceased commissioner.
Mr.. Wachter's platform is "An
honest, economical and business ad-
ministration Of city affairs" while
Mr.. Bertsch's platform is "Better
streets and roads in Bismarck"
Only one precinct at 8 o'clock to-
day had equaled its vote at the same

British Professional Puts
American Star in Almost

Rounds of Devastating Golf

Moor Park, Eng, April 27.-tR-
Walter Hagen, American golfer
was far in the rear at the finish Of
the first 36 holes Of his 72-hole gol1
match with Archie Compston, Brit.
ish professional, today, Compstor
being II up.
Two rounds Of devastating goli
put Hagen in almost hopeless posi-.
tion. Never has a London golfing
gallery seen an Ar.erican star OF
Hagen's calibre in such helpless
straits as Hagen was all day long
before the faultless game displayed
by Compston.
Two rounds of 67 and 66 on a par
20 course, with 13 brides included
in Compston's score, made Hagen's
golf seem worse than it really was,
Compston by dazzling golf raced
to five-hole lead over Hagen in
the outward journey of the first
round. The American played
twelve holes before he could wir

Compston outciassed Hagen in all
the phases of the game on the out.

opponent with flock of five bird
les, holing puts from all corners Of
the green. He added two brides or
the homeward journey but Hager
had recovered and steady par fig
ures with one birdie let him choK
down his opponents lead by one.
Hagen played without the bril-.
liant dash and fighting spirit which
the British gallery had expected o1
him. He only began to show :
flash of the golf which was expect
ed near the end of the round.
Compston's golf was unbeatable
His 67 was within a stroke of Sand,
Herds course record of 66.
Hagen steadily lost ground dur

round and was seven down at tn,

New York, April 27.-(AP)-
New York saluted in reverent tribute
today as Floyd Bennett came home
on his way to q grave In historic
Arlington cemetery 1T Washington.
In less than three hours from the
time Of the arrival Of the body from
Quebec to the departure of the fun
eral train for Washington, official
New York, the army and navy and
thousands of citizens extended to
Bennett ! hero's farewell on q day
which had been reserved for trium-
phant welcome to the men he had
tried to rescue from isolation on
lonely Greenly Island.
In q flag-draped coffin the body
left Pennsylvania terminal at 1925
q. m. for the journey to Washington
for burial near the grave Of Admiral
Peary, who in = ship years ago pre-
ceded Bennett and Commander Rich
ard e. Byrd in their historic flight
to the north pole.
New York in Mourning
Behind him he left q city in
mourning. Flags that had flown in
tribute to the German-Irish crew Of
the transatlantic plane Bremen
stirred slowly in the slight breeze
of early day as if to match the spir-
it cast by the half national
colors on municipal buildings and the
skyscrapers Of the metropolis.
The aviator's body arrived at the
Grand Central terminal at 7:30 q. m.
and under escort Of military, naval
and police details was taken to the
list regiment armory in lower Park
avenue where it lay in state for
more than an hour while Thousands
filed slowly by.
While WEAF and associated radio
stations carried the ceremonies to
millions throughout the land, great
crowds pressed about the armory in
a vain effort to view the body.
"He wins the crown" said the Rev.
Daniel A. Polling, pastor Of the
Marble Collegiate church and pres
ident Of the Church Federetion Of
Greater New York, at the conclusion
of the radio service. "His memory
remains as an unsullied escutcheon
to be worn by all who follow worth
lily his high calling and his spirit
shall live again and yet again in the
youth of the world"
Traffic Stilled
Outside the armory the rumbling
traffic of the city was stilled while
the body lay inside and during its
movement from the Grand Central
terminal to the Pennsylvania station.
The flag-draped casket was carried
on an artillery caisson to the slow,
measured tread Of the escort while
throngs in the streets barred their
heads and bowed.
Four airplanes scared high above
and their pilots dropped floral trib-
utes to their departed comrade Of the
skies.

CHICAGO FINDS
ITS TREASURY
NEARLY EMPTY
Situation Most Acute Since
1917, Financial Experts
Claim

Chicago, April 27.-(AP)-The
city of Chicago today had an unap-
propriated balance Of only $4,000 in
its corporate fund, the official re-
port Of City Comptroller Charles C.
Fitzmorris showed.
Financial experts described the
situation as the most acute since
1917, when it was necessary to vote
bonds to sustain the corporate fund.
The aldermen apprised Of the
ctiy's financial straits, voted to re-
call all unexpended appropriations
to defer those pending and to direct
department heads to use Coolidge
economy.
Blame for the shortage was Ne
ported t. be what one Of the alder
men called "a slip" He said the tax
levy ordinance was not made large
enough to take full advantage Of the
new tax rate of 1.12h per $10C
assessed tax valuation for current
expenses.
In drafting the 1928 budget, the
council based it's appropriations on
an estimated tax valuation increase
Of $30O,0O0,OO0. Instead the in
crease was $486,0O0,0OO. Defeat OF
the bond issues in the recent pri-
mary elections also has thrown ad-
ditional burdens upon the corporate
fund.
Against the balance of $4,000
now on hand, the city has emerg-
ency needs and incurred obligations
calling for expenditures Of $1,045,-
421. This means that if the city
were to pay up all its obligations
it would be $1,032,12l in debt and
would have nothing to spend until
the beginning Of the next fiscal
year.
