Milwaukee, July Wendt, who became city controller yesterday under tragic circumstances, revealed last night that heated disputes preceded his shooting by City Controller Louis Kotecki, died by his own hand Wendt said the trouble was an outgrowth of his testimony before the grand jury which four months indicted Kotecki on malfeasance charges In connection with the alleged embezzlement ot $500,000 In city funds. A former city treasurer and a bank president are under indictment on embezzlement charges. Berated Several Times. Greatly improved, but still in a serious condition, Wendt told fnends that Kotecki berated him several times for testifying and said that he offered to resign when he learned his chief apparently had lost confidence in him.

Each time, Wendt continued, Kotecki pleaded with him to remain on the job "He complained repeatedly about appearance before the grand lury and was under the impression that I had given testimony that as harmful to him," Wendt said "He oecame angry and would not believe anything that was told him --he simply had the idea that he had been double-crossed and that his best friend and associate in the office, was responsible. Expected an Outburst. "The controller, worried by many things, including unjust criticism of his office, didn't seem to understand that his own force was loyal to him and honestly believed him innocent of the charges made by the giand jur" Wendt said that shortly before the shooting Tuesday afternoon Kotecki came into his office and took a seat, saying nothing. Wendt said he expected another outburst frori his chief but had no idea he would become violent. He said he turned to answer the telephone and was suddenly jolted out of his chair and thrown to the floor.

"I can't believe that Louie shot me he said. "It's all a nightmare. I didn't hear the shots--couldn't heard them--and I thought the controller had merely attacked aie with a small tear gas fountain pen which sometimes carried." Voices No Bitterness Wendc repeatedly asked about Kotecki condition, but was not informed of his death. "Poor Louis," he said, at no time voicing bitterness, "he didn't understand He wouldn't have done this if it hadn't been for all his troubles Wendt's physician said he has a chance to recover provided infection does not develoj THE STORY OF THE BIBLE TOLD IN PICTURES--NO. 21 PENINSULA NEWS SAFE IS RECOVERED safe of the ill- fated steamer George M.

Greenwood, of Caspian, was fourth with 286, Nelson and Anderson showed strength in and Cas- pian, and held their own in Gaastra The vote was one of the largest cast in a school election, interest having been aroused by the school investigation now under way. The reelection of the incumbents for three-year terms was taken to mean Contract Bridge Hands BY WM. E. McKENNEY Secretary, American Bridge Lesgue Probably sound logic and delicate inference are the skillful player's most valuable attribute while the bidding is in progress However, once the dummy goes down, the faculties of resourcefulness, ingenuity and daring come into play.

The possibilities ol hand distribution are so innumerable that the game never loses its freshness and variety. Every session of play produces at least one hand which must be treated a little differently than any which have preceded it Today's hand came up recently in a rubber game and the South player was able to make his contract by a play which, though simple, was both ingenious and daring. The Bidding South opened with one heart, West passed and North bid one spade, a one over one force. East passed and South bid three diamonds This was a most significant bid and conveyed a wealth of infoima- tion to the bidder's partner. It showed that both hearts and diamonds were at least five-card suits, that South had an unusually strong hand, and that he desired to play for a slam provided North could support one of his suits, and had slightly moie than minimum overcalling strength.

However, North realized that the hands did not match well in any suit and had no desire to reach a slam. His next bid was three spades, showing a fairly strong five-card suit, and allowing South to choose whether the hand should that the public is satisfied with the manner in which the schools have been conducted and is not greatly concerned by the charges brought by Thomas Montambo, insurance agent BABY'S BODY FOUND Ewanaba--The decomposed body of an infant boy, wrapped in a burlap sack, was found in the Escanaba river, a short distance below the bridge at No. 1 dam Monday noon. The discovery was made by one of the attendants at the Lalaeff gasoline station while he was pick ing up wood along the river bank The body had been first covered with a calico dress, a slip and other pieces of woman's apparel, and then placed in the sack.

Then, if they ask my opinion, fm pretty frank and tell them why "Luckies me, at least. After all, there's an intimate relationship between a cigarette and my lips --and I'm very sensitive about my personal daintiness.

Certainly I enjoy Luckios' delicious tobaccos and their mellow-mildness--but the comforting purity of'Toasting" is what I prize almost above everything else. And (hat is a woman's reason for saying "Luckies Please!" be played at three no trump or at one of the suits already mentioned South now inferred that North was short in both red iuits and therefore must have sufficient length in clubs to give some protection in that suit.

The Play West opened with the ten of clubs which was ducked in dummy and East won with the queen.

The latter returned another club and declarer allowed West to hold the trick with the king At this point, West fell into a well-laid trap by leading a third round of clubs, although a shift would have enabled him to defeat no trump contract. The third club led served declarer splendidly in two rwpecte, First, it gave him a much needed entry In the dummy and second, it enabled him to discard the ace of spades and thereby make two spade tricks with dummy's and queen. The situation was still desperate, but if the declarer should have the good fortune to find both the ace of diamonds and the jack of spades in the East hand, the contract could be made. Accordingly, he cashed dummy's two spades, discarding two hearts from his own hand, and then led a diamond from dummy, hoping for the best. East passed the first diamond, but was compelled to win the second and he could then do nothing- but lay down the jack of spades and concede the remaining tricks.

The declarer therefore took one club, two spades, tno hearts and four diamonds to fulfil! his three no tramp contracct.
