FOLLY OF DlvERTING ATTACK.

When a partner has made an attacking
declaration and the opponents bids give
indication OF great suit strength. it is
usually folly 10 divert the line of attack
as laid down by the initial declaration.
It generally comes To no good purpose
and causes only the dividing OF the part
nership force, 10 the dctriment OF good
team work.
Here il "A rather unusual hand held i'll
actual play at the Scranton Bicycle and
Whist Club that illustrates the point and
clearly marks why a partne- should stick
10 his partners suit rather than take UP
any selfish declaration on his own hand:

standing contrary views held by many

Here East fell down by passing instead
of making an obvious three club declara-

ANSWER TO QUERY.

The query hand Of March 8 was as fol-
lows: South dealt and declared ons
royal West and North passing. East
declared two clubs. South two rcyals.
West and North passing again. East de-
clared three diamonds. South passed.
West held the following hand:

Hearts--A., O., 8. Z, =.

Clubs, ..
The score was love-all, rubber grnae.
What should West do?
One OF the best answers received comes
from ]. r. N, of Schenectady, as follows:
TT is apparent from the holding OF

round by East followed by his strong
diamond declaration Oh the second round.
that South must hold the ace, 10 and
three. or possibly four. other spades, to-
eether with the king OF hearts and WHAT
ever honors in clubs and diamonds are
missing from East's hand, and 1t Is also
apparent that North holds bust. west

TO RECONSIDER BOXING BILL
Senate Also Appropriates $780, 900
for New Cheney Normal.

Olympia prizefght bill. legal
izing boxing and sparring matches in
this state, which was killed by the
senate Tuesday, came back smiling
Thursday and was given new lease
of life. AS expected, the fathers of
the measure were able to drum up the
required two-thirds vote Of the senate
to bring the measure back for recon-
sideration. The bill was resurrected
and placed on general file, to come up
again later.
The house of representatives passed
practically all of one day hearing ar
guments and reports regarding the
ownership of harbor, wharfage and
tideland property in cities on Puget
Sound. A report by the special Sc
attic wharfage ownership committee
recommending that the state contest
the title to the lands on the waterfront
owned by the Northern Pacific and
other corporations was adopted
The senate passed bill appropriate
ing $500, 900 for the erection of new
building at the Cheney Normal school
to replace the structure which was
burned year ago. This bill has been
passed by the house also. 1t probably
will be vetoed by Governor Lister,
because of his belief that the building
is not needed.

PERFECT BILL is PLANNED
Bridge Question In Background
Till Proper Time.

Olympia A committee Of four per-
sons representing the interests in Van
couver and Clark county, who are
seeking the appropriation of money
for the proposed interstate bridge be-
tween Portland and Vancouver, ar
rived here to draft bills and conduct a
campaign in the legislature. The
committee comprises James P. Staple
ton and A. L. Miller, attorneys, and
A. M. Baker and Benjamin Deyar-
mar. In conference with the senate
committee on roads and bridges it was
decided to keep the bridge question in
the background until a good bill is
drafted. The work of drafting will
be attended to by the two visiting at
torneys and the attorney general here.
The encouragement, after being
interviewed by the committee, de-
clared that he would assist in every
way possible in getting the bill in
shape so that it would comply in every
way with the constitution. 1t is un-
certain yet whether the committee
will provide for the raising of the re-
quired amount of money by special tax
levy or bond issue, or whether the
bridge will be made part of the gen.
eral road and bridge. bills and will
draw it's appropriation from the bridge
and road funds. The committee ex-
poets to be here until the bill is we'll
launched before the legislature.

BRINGS CONSUMPTION SERUM
Pittsburg Physician Gets Fried
mann Cure for Wife.

New York - Hurrying homeward
from abroad with tuberculosis serum
in his possession that he says is the
first of the widely-discussed Fried
mann culture to be brought to this
country, DR.. Austin H. Held, a ply
stefan of Pittsburg, arrived on the
steamship Potsdam from Europe Sat
urdav. and at once took train for his
home. where his wife, who is suffer-
ing from tuberculosis, awaits the ar
rival of what DR.. Held hopes will be
cure for her.
DIR. Held has enough bacilli for one
patient only, he declared. That pa
tient will be his wife.
/ DR.. Held was met at quarantine by
DR.. Milton H. Foster, of the Ellis Is
land health service, and questioned in
behalf of the United States govern
ment about the Friedman cure. DR..
Held told DR.. Foster he had been con-
WINGED of the efficiency of the cure and
had obtained from DR.. Friedman just
enough to treat one patient suffering
from tuberculosis of the bone.
DR.. Frederick Friedman, the Ger
man scientist who discovered the SER
UNI, received an offer of $1,000, 900
last mnoth from Charles E. Finlay, a
banker of this city, if he would cure
So out of 100 patients to be placed I'M
der his care. The bankers interest
in the serum resulted from the fact
that a relative by marrige suffers with
tuberculosis.

STATE TO BOSS AGRICULTURE
Commission to Include Heads of
Experiment Stations.

Olympia A bill said to have a
strong backing and declared to be of
vital Importance to farmers was in
troduced by Senator Troy, chairman
of the senate appropriations commit
tee, providing for the establishment
of state department of agriculture
to take over all the agricultural work
of the state. The bill abohshes the
offices of state dairy and livestock
commissioner, horticulture inspector,
oil Inspector, state fair commissioner
and takes over part of the duties of
the labor commissioner.
Provision is made for the appoint
ment of commissioner at $4,000 a
a year and the establishment of an
agricultural commission comprising
the governor, the commissioner of
agriculture and the directors of the
state experimental stations.
Because of the numerous bills before
the house providing for state aid in
the clearing of logged-off land, a spe-
cial committee on logged-off land was
appointed by Speaker Taylor. The
members are Representatives Muir

PIPER WAGE BILL DUE SOON
State Federation of Labor Reports
FavOrably on Measure.

Olympia With favorable commit
tee report and an Endorsement from
many commercial and industrial organ
izations,. including the State Fedora
ton of Labor, the women's minimum
wage bill fathered in the Washington
Legislature by Senator George u. Pr
per, of King County, will come before
the senate probably this week. This
and teachers pension fund, which
also has favorable committee report.
are expected to be the main issues in
the senate during the week.
The wage bill has enough support in
the senate committee on labor and
labor statistics, to which it was sent.
to assure its being sent back with q
favorable report. There are but two
members of the committee who are
not heartily in favor of the measure.
These two members probably will Join
in the favorable report with the others
before the bill is brought up for third
reading in the upper house.
The Federation of Labor officials.
who came to Olympia specially to
promote the welfare of a women 3
wage bill of their own drafting, have
checked over the Piper bill and, with
few minor amendments, have de-
clared it to be satisfactory.

TRUST ..SPIES'' ARE ACCUSED
House-Wrecking Head Says Lum-
bermen Prosecuted Him.

+ Chicago Testimony was given be-
fore Examiner Fuller in the govern
ment suit to dissolve the so-called
"lumber trust" that the Crust had
maintained spies in the offices Of the
Chicago House Wrecking company in
an effort to put the concern out of
business.
Maurice Rothschild, president of the
house-wrecking concern, testified that
detectives employed by him had dis
covered the presence of spies and that
the concern had found false entries in
their books and received many ficti-
tious orders and applications.
Rothschild directly accused L. w.
Boyce, of Minneapolis, who is de-
PENDANT in the dissolution suit and who
was head of the Northern Information
bureau, which it is alleged obtained
and dispensed information to members
of the "trust" about Independents.
