FAMILIES SEEK
SAFETY IN HILLS
FLOOD IN NEW MEXICO MEN
ACES MANY HOMES
BUSINESS HOUSES SWEPT AWAY
IN THE TORRENT
Continued Heavy Rains Cause Addi-
tional Damage and Stop Railroad
Traffic In the Black Hills
District

DENVER, June 12.-With heavy
rains reported south into New Mexico
and north as far as the Black Hills
of South Dakota, the flood situation
in the Rocky mountain region shows
little improvement today.
The most serious situation exists at
Folsom N M, where a cloudburst
yesterday was followed by floods that
threaten to wipe out the town. Al
ready many business houses and resi-
dences have been swept away and the
inhabitants have fled to the hills for
safety
Unless conditions rapidly improve
there may be a repetition of the flood
that swept away the town last Aug
ust in which many persons were
drowned.
Creek Threatens Town
From the Black Hills district come
reports of continued heavy rains and
consequent damage to crops and prop
erty The little town of Owanka is
threatened with destruction from the
floods of Box Elder creek, which is
reported seven feet higher than ever
before recorded.
A cloudburst at Pactola, S. D.,
shortly before last midnight threatened
the entire town.
Throughout the Black Hills district
railroad traffic has been seriously in
terrupted, large stretches of track hav-
ing been washed out by the floods.
From western Colorado reports are
more reassuring. The Grand and Gun
nison rivers are reported to be reced-
ing slowly and unless additional rains
fall no further damage is expected.

COUNCILMAN FINDS HE is
LIVING OUTSIDE HIS WARD

LONG BEACH. June 12.-The courts
decision that Long Beach does not con-
troll East San Pedro causes a great
tangle.
The Sixth ward was supposed to
comprise only that territory which was
contested between San Pedro and Long
Beach. But it has been found that
there is still a Sixth ward, little,
triangular strip of land to the north
west, comprising several acres. Coun-
Gilman Lane must move at once if he
desires to continue to represent the
Sixth ward, as he does not live in the
little strip. Unless he does this, which
is improbable, or some other citizen
moves into the unpopulated territory.
the council will have to change the
ward lines.
1t has been hoped the redistricting
could be postponed until after the cleo
tion next December.

That leader has long suit which he
is anxious to clear; that he probably
holds the queen and jack, but in any
event that pone should play the king
unless the cards held by himself and
dummy are such as to prove beyond
doubt that to do so will cause the loss
of a trick.
John B. Gleason of New York, gen
orally considered the finest player in
the United States, has adopted the rule
that whenever at no trump he leads
an honor, he desires his partner to
play thereon any honor he holds. This,
of course, is subject to change If war
ranted by the dummy hand. Other
openings at no trump will be discussed
in article Is.
BY request the plan of giving the
answers to problems in the same ar
ticle in which they are published will
larly in those problems which relate
to differences the interim between
publication and solution causes a loss
of coherency which would be avoided
and that the added interest is more
valuable than the emulation between
solvers. Beginning with this article the
problem will be given in the first part
of the article and the solution at the
end, thus giving opportunity to con-
slider the solution with the problem in
sight.
Solution to Problem IS
It is evident that the opening is from
queen, jack, 10 and one or more small,
or queen, jack, 8 and one or more
small. 1t is also evident that the deal
err must win five tricks in clubs and
one each in the other suits or a total
of eight tricks. 1t is also evident that
the only re-entry which leader can
have is the ace of clubs. 1t is further
evident that if dealer has the ace Of
clubs he must win nine tricks and the
game. Hence you must assume that
leader has ace of clubs.
With this assumption it is evident
that unless leader holds at least five
hearts so that he can save the game
by winning four heart tricks and one
club trick there is no chance to win.
Therefore, if pone plays a small heart
he must win second trick with ace,
whereupon he must either lead club
which will take leaders, re-entry before
his suit is established, which will pre-
vent him from making his long hearts,
or he must lead either diamonds or
spades, in either of which events not
only does the dealer win two tricks in
the suit led, but by following with a
club he also prevents leader from max
ing his long hearts.
Therefore, pone must win the first
trick with ace of hearts and follow
with three of hearts, which will enable
leader to establish his hearts before he
loses his re-entry
1t may seem best that none should
allow leader to hold first trick in the
hope that he will switch to spades or
diamonds, but unless leader holds three
diamonds and selects that suit this
plan is hopeless.

Solution to Problem IA
published June 8. 1903.

1t is evident that the ace is led
neither from ace and four small or
from ace king, hence the lead is ir-
regular. The natural inference is that
it is a singleton and that the leader
desires to rough. If this be true, pone
is warranted in assuming that leader
holds less than four trumps. Assum-
ing that he has three hearts the dealer
must hold five hearts and in that case
must hold both ace and jack to JUS
tify the declaration. Dealer is also
marked with two spades. Dealer can
not hold both the missing aces or he
would have named no trump instead of
hearts. Hence leader is marked with

EDITED BY w. R. WHARTON

one or both of the missing aces. If
leader had held either ace, king or
king, queen, jack in either clubs or
diamonds he would have led one of
those suits in preference to ace of
spades. The problem therefore is to
determine in what combinations these
high cards are held by dealer and lead
er to justify one in the declaration and
the other in the opening. The most
natural is to place the ace, queen of
both clubs and diamonds with leader
and the kings with dealer. 1t is GER
tain that with six diamonds or six
clubs to the ace the leader would have
opened that suit and almost sure that
he would have done so if he held five
unless he held ace, queen. Therefore
of the nine cards which are unplaced
in leaders hand it is assured that in
one suit he holds five to ace, queen
and in the other four. If it is assumed
that his four card suit is diamonds 1t
would leave five of that suit in the
dealers hand with probably three
honors. in which event dealer would
have had a better diamond declaration.
The fair inference would be that deal
err held five hearts to ace, jack; four
diamonds to king, jack; two clubs to
king and seven two of spades and that
leader held three hearts, one spade,
four diamonds and five clubs.
ARTICLE II
differences from Opening Leads
Upon an original no trump declara-
tion the leader opens the jack of hearts.
The dummy discloses three hearts to
ace and pone holds two to the queen
and the ace of spades. What differences
should be drawn by .pone and what
should he play to the first trick?
IT is evident that dealer did not hold
three aces; that leader has opened from
king, jack ten and one or small ana
that pone should play his queen to first
trick
with the same declaration and open
ing what should be the inference and
play if dummy discloses three to the
queen and pone holds three to ace? 1t
Is evident that leader holds king, jack,
ten. and pone should not play ace I'M
less dummy plays queen
With the same declaration ana open
ing what should be inference ana play
if dummy discloses three small and
pone holds ace?
If is evident that dealer holds queen,
and none should win first trick with
ace and return the suit to enable leader
to capture queen.
with same declaration and opening
what would be inference If dummy dis
closes the queen and pone has no honor
in the suit?
That dealer holds the ace.
1t will be observed that lead OF
lack at no trump always evidences the
ten and either king or ace. Other hon
ors not in sight must be held by the
dealer, and pone should play accord
ingly.
Upon a no trump declaration leader
open ace of a suit in which pone holds
the king. What is the inference and
proper play by pone?
