70 the office of County Surveyor for
the past six years by the Farmer
Labor forces of Sheridan county.
Surveyor Rasmussen is a very pop
ular county official, despite the fact
that the majority on the board OF
county commissioners who represent

and bridge supervisor. While serving
the tax payers of Sheridan county in
ihls capacity he saved the county
thousands OF. dollars and placed the
road and bridge funds on a cash bas-
IS and built more roads and bridges
for the money than were ever built
before or since.
The farmers of Sheridan county
are behind Hans Rasmussen now
stronger than ever and when the joint
convention of Progressive Farmer-La-
Dor forces met they wanted to honor
nm wit ha higher office but Hans
declined and said that if he again
became a candidate for county of
lice ne would prefer the office OF
surveyor which nomination he recelv-
ed unanimously.
Hans Rasmussen can always be de-
pended upon to fight for the best in
terests Of the farmer and worker all

For Superintendent of Schools
The Washington times., 1928-10-06

Washington financial circles were
agog with reports today about the
split which has occurred between
Haynes and the directors of the
Farmers and Mechanics Bank.
Row Unknown
The exact nature of the row be-
tween the controlling powers of the
Georgetown institution is being
carefully withheld from the public
eve. but officials of the office OF
the Comptroller Of the Currency to-
day said it did not involve the
solvency of the bank or its financial
stability.
The view was expressed that the
pending consolidation of the Farm
ers and Mechanics Bank with the
Riggs Bank will go through by a
virtually unanimous vote OF the
stockholders next month and THAI
this merger will clear up the entire
situation involving Haynes and oil
rectors of the Georgetown bank.
Refuse To Talk
Officials also said that after the
consolidation is formally completed
thew will be in a position to clear
I'm the current mystery surrounding
the Haynes split, but in the mean
time will decline any comment
on the situation.

Federal officials of "having done
a wonderful piece of work" in build.

FIVE FARMS COURSE, BALTI.
MORE, Oct. 6.-After getting off to
bad start and standing down at
the sixth, Leo Diegel made a splen-
did recovery to score birdie as to win
the seventh and eighth and square
his match with Al Espinosa, of Chi.
cago, in the final round for the p.
G.. A. national golf championship
here this morning. They halved the
ninth in 3's so that te match was all
even when tey began the inward
journey.
Diegel was out in 38, three over
par, after a veritable nightmare at
the scond hole which he finally con.
coded to Espinosa after he saw he
could get no better than a 6. He was
a little shaky on the par third, too
halving 1t in SIS but after that he
frightened up and played par golf.
Espinosa was steady all the way
through, playing par even on the
holes which he lost.
Leo Loses Second Hole
They halved the first in par
tours. each getting on in two from
the tee and each requiring two
puts to hole out.
1t was on the second that the fire
works began. Espinosa sliced his
drive to the rough but made a
wonderful recovery by getting the
green with his second. laying his
ball some 40 feet from the flag.
Diegel drove straight down the
fairway but pressed on his second
shot with an iron and landed in the
trap. His first explosion shot was
a dud and the ball didn't move.
His second was hardly any better
and then and there Leo conceded
the hole.
Neither shone on the third hole
and halved it in SIS, one over par.
Espinosa was on with his second
but took three puts while Leo
left himself Is yards short with his
second after poor drive. His shot
to the green was a nice one but
he took two puts to get down.
Leo just missed birdie on the
short fourth when his putt stopped

The two men had been chased
into nearby Maryland by the OH.

speeding. A wheel came of the
fugitives' car after they had crossed
the Maryland line, according to re-
ports, and when the officers came
up and searched the car, they found
$50 quarts Of alleged liquor.
The two men were then brought
back into the District and charged
with TRANSFORMATION and possession
of Intoxicating liquor.
Turnage Backs View
E. Russell Kelly, attorney for
the men, moved for a dismissal on
grounds that the officers had no
authority to make arrests for pro.
hibition offenses outside Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Turnage's opinion sustains the
motion, and the charges against
the men have been dismissed.
In a detailed opinion consisting
of seven pages of typewriter copy,
Turnage's decision forever bars Dis.
trict policemen not clothed with the
power to enforce prohibition laws

into Maryland and making arrests.
He specifically points out that the

Nothing Missing Here
But of the things conducive to
safeguarding life, these exiles will
find nothing missing. Almost 1000

Many of these items are en- route

Zealand, aboard the Byrd supply
ships City of New York and Eleanor

other supplies have arrived almost
daily awaiting the arrival here of
