COMMISSIONER HEARS ARGU-
.MENTS IN OIL CASES

Arguments by attorneys represent
ing the stockholders of the Bour-
bon Oil and Development Company
and it's offshoot, the Cooperative
Land and Development Company,
and others representing the Mutual
Oil and Refining Company, were
heard in the court house before
United States Commissioner Charles
N. Wizard, of Frankfort.
Among the attorneys present were
j. A. Edge, of Lexington, represent
ing c. G. Bosworth, of Lexington,
receiver for the companies; Judge
Denis Dundon and E. M. Dick
son, of Paris; John Pc Rhodes, of
Danville, and ]. Hooker Stivers, of
Paris, auditor for the receiver. Jas.
Park, of Lexington, represented the
Mutual Oil and Refining Company.
Stock in the Bourbon Oil and De
velopment Company was purchased
almost exclusively by. Paris and
Bourbon county people, many of
whom will suffer heavy loss if the
claims presented against the two
companies are allowed. Many here
who purchased or were given stock
in the company at ten cents a share
had demands made upon them for
the payments of the remaining
ninety cents per share, representing
the par value of the stock.
The statements made by the at
torneys showed many varying
angles. Commissioner Wizard took
the matter under advisement, and
will probably hand down a decision
this week. He has already sustain
ed exceptions to claims of over $780,
900 against the two companies.

THE NEW REGISTRATION LAW
NOT ENDORSED

The recent Legislature passed a
law requiring every voter in the
State to register before he is entitl-
ed to the right of suffrage. This
registration will be held in July and
will cost the taxpayers of the State
S125,000 There is only one little
reason why the taxes of the State
are so high and still climbing. This
law is of no benefit whatever to the
people of the State, and will work a
hardship in many ways, as it comes
at a time when the people in the
rural districts are very busy and
will cause lot of unnecessary work
and campaigning to get the voters to
register.

affairs Of this nature. The guests wear paper

Another experiment that the producers in

made at once second hand might make shut
out bid Of some kind, and 1t would then be
too expensive to call tho spades, which, had
they been named in the first place, would
have been supported by the partner.
This presupposes two very improbable
things-a hand strong enough to pre-empt and
partner strong enough to support the spades,
the odds against such a combination being
about 200 to I. To base a bid on cases that
cannot happen more than about once in 200
deals is poor logic and worse teaching.
There is plenty Of time to call long, weak
suits on the second round, and instances are
not rare in which an opponent who has tho
tops In that suit, viii call it and get hurt If
his partner does not rescue him. Tho matter
that requires study when a secondary bid is

An interesting bit Of gossip in cinema circles
is to the effect that a number of movies will
be staged in Western settings from now on
That Is to say, they will depict life on the
great open prairies and the great, high noun
tans, and will deal with the doings of COW
punchcrs grcasers, rangers, miners and the
like. 1t is also estimated that 52981 movie
actors will impcrsonate members of the Cana
dian Northwest Mounted Police Force, which
Ia just about $4,000 more than there are in
that famous fighting force itself.
There will also be a great many mclodramas
about crooks who go around croakinp COPS
and other unnecessary people, and finally land
up In small towns, where they meet square,
decent, homelike folk, and straghtway be-
come regenerated. There will be practically
no cases where crooks start out on their
careers Of crime in the rural districts and
then go to the city to be reformed

be great many film dramas that will deal

"N HIS 10 the open season for predictions.
Everybody is doing his own forecast
ing as to what will happen in 1929
and arranging the year to suit himself.
1t is an innocent and inexpensive pastime, be-
cause no one can show the amateur prophets
up until next New Years Eve and by that
time the predictions will have been forgotten
anyway.
In far motion pictures arc concerned,
/ predict that this will be a banner year. l
not quite sure what banner year ia, but
! have idea that this is going to be one
whether the movie magnates make any money
not. Another safe bet is that the silent
drama will make great strides during the en-
suing twelve months. 1t is always making
great strides in direction or another.
These, however, are mere congratulations.
Anybody can tell you as much. But I, being
on the "insidc," am able to give the readers
of this page valuable dope on the more
intimate details of motion picture production
facts which, even if do say so, they could
not obtain anywhere else
Romance
In the first place. am violating no con-
fldcnce when ] announce that there will be a
certain amount Of love interest in movies this
year. ne producers nave come to the
astounding conclusion that the public is sick
OF the grim, stark, realistic Ibsensh tragedies
that they have been serving up so steadily in
the past, and that it is time to inject
a little sunshine and optimism and homely sex
appeal into their films.
Startling as that may seem, 1t is the un-
shcllackcd truth, and film fans the country
over can look for r radical change in the
nature Of the photoplays that are shown in
their local theaters There will be no more
unhappy endings and no more of those scenes
in which malicious children put vtrio in their
grandmothers' tea Public opinion has risen
up in it's wrath and branded this sort of thing
as unnatural, unhealthy and un-American
What is more, public opinion is the force that
rules in this nation, and anybody who tries
to buck up against it is simply making a
sucker out of himself
Therefore, ] shall not be surprised in tho
least to see large percentage of pictures
end with the hero marrying the heroine. In
fact, it is more than likely that the two of
them will be shown at the final fade-out,

form Of humor known as "slapstick." They
figure that they have overdonc the light, deli
cate type of comedy in the past, and that it
Is time to broaden their fun to meet the pop
ular taste. SO that we shall soon be treated
to some really uproarious farce, and it is my
personal belief that film fans will welcome
the change.
The favorite setting for comedies will be
in a hotel hallway, which number of
bedroom doors open out. One of the rooms
will be occupied by henpecked husband and
his mammoth spouse; another by some be-
whiskered Bosheviks, who are making bombs;
another by old maid; another by young
pair Of honeymooners, and so forth: Every
will get into the wrong room, and the
jollity will come to a rousing climax when a
water main bursts and all the guests are
washed out into the street.
There will also be number Of comic films,
with scenes laid in bakeries, and / have
pretty definite hunch that several we'll known
comedians will land in flour bins in the oourse
Of the years work. Although that, of course,
is only guess.
Practically SO per cent Of the two-recl
comedies will contain chases, wherein some
character runs for miles through the heart Of
Los Angeles and the surrounding country,

into putting up the ace of hearts, by leading
the nine through, after making the king of

another little point On leading the ace of

which IL not to shift or show what you are
supporting on If you have enough Of the part
ner's suit and nothing wonderful In any other
suit
AT other tables passed the first bid, and
when called the diamonds bid the hearts
supporting the diamonds. Now z calls his
spades as a secondary bid, and We get tho
first rule with regard to such calls, which is
not to support them unless you have two hon
ors. When goes to three diamonds, Y drops
the hearts and supports tho spades and
makes little slam.
Now, some persons will argue, what differ-
once does 1t make whether bid tho spades
In tho first place or ~ q secondary bid, as
could help him anyway In this case that i,
true, but suppose could not have helped the
spades? He would know there was little or
no defense In that suit and would have sat
tight and tried to save tho game in diamonds.
If they can make five diamonds they will prob
ably bid 1T least four, and it is a waste Of
breath to follow up the spades, to say nothing
Of the risk Of being set.
One point about these secondary bids Il
that they should be made, If the hand is a.
good as defensive bid. At two tables z
left his partner in on tho hearts and failed
to go game, as led the diamond queen and
then the club king, 80 as to kill the dummy's
re-entry for the spades at once unless Y gives
up the spade Jack, gambling on the spades
being split, instead of the obvious fnesse.
One interesting point about ths play It
New-York tribune., 1922-01-08

r N HANDLING secondary bids, which are
rot made the first opportunity, there
OK two simple rules to remember
The frst Of these is to note carefully the
rank Of the suits. if two suits are named
II the higher ranking suit ls named first, such
a spade, and then anything else, the hand
may safely be taken as q two-suiter and the
partners duty is to choose which he prefers.
This WAS discussed in the article on Decem-
Der IS.
This bidding Of two suits usually comes
when the partner has made no sign as to his
approval or support of the first named suit.
Suppose the first bid is heart, second hand
says spade and third hand passes. If there
rs a good club or diamond suit back of the
hearts, bid 1t. This says to the partner:
"You will not support my hearts. Can you
support diamonds, are you waiting to do
feat the spade contract7"
But when the suit Of lower rank is hrsa
named, such az = diamond, by the dealer, and
then heart or spade, the second bid shows
length only, and while the suit called II
desirable as the trump the defense In the hand
Ii in the diamonds.
<he most common secondary bids are those
made after passing up free bid. The dealer
says nothing, but when the bidding Is started
by the others he cores out with the suit that
he would have liked all the time to have for
the trump, but it was not strong enough In
tho defensive eleroert for free bid.
Tho old-fashioned way to bid such hands
20 six or seven spades to tho hae-tsn, with
IN outxide trick or two, was to call two
spades a. 4 fres bid. While scme writer,
advocated this system, It was soon found in
practice to be very bad bidding, as 1t was
not only unnecessary, but was bidding more
on cards that were worth less. Tho only
excuse fer Is was that U the bid vas not
