FILM TRUST CASE
BEFORE j. S. COURT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-P)-
The celebrated motion picture case in
yolving the Famous Players-Lasky
corporation and affiliated distribut
ing and exhibiting companies in
charges of conspiracy to develop Q
monopoly in the industry was before
the federal trade commission today
for final arguments. -a....
A large array of counsel was on
hand to argue for Famous Players in
denial of the charges, while the case
| in support of the complaint was under
the direction Of w. H.. Fuller. CHIEF
counsel for the commission. The lat
ter seeks an order by the commission
requiring the respondents to discon'
tinue certain business practices such
as block bookings as at present con-
Quoted and to separate their producin
and distributing interests from their
exhibiting properties. The value OF
the latter is estimated at $1OO,OOO,-
600.
The case presents an issue which
is conceded to hold far-renching. po-
tcntialities for the entire motion pic.
ture industry and has been developed
at hearings and investigations cover
ing more than four years.
The complaint was issued against
the companies by the committee in
1921 and amended in 1928. If the
plea of the commissions counsel is
granted, however. it is generally ex-
pected that the final chapter will not
be written for some time, as an APP
peal by the companies to the circuit
court of appeals in New York would
be looked for, with the further pos
sibility that the case would eventually
20 to the supreme court of the United
States.

suit for annullment Of marriage was
filed in Forty-fifth District Court.

from a resident of Idaho on Septem-
Der 25, 1914, and was married to him

Badges, Beat Mayor.

CHICAGO Nov. 24-R-Defyin.
police pistols. tear bombs and stream,
from fire hose. 5000 Northwestern
University men and women students
last night, celebrated the prowess Of
their football team by rampaging al
over quiet, aristocratic Evanston.
Before their enthusiasm waned early
today, q vacant fraternity house was
in ashes, a policeman had two broken
ribs, four students were in Jail, scores
had black eyes and cracked heads, and
Mayor Charles f. Bartlett, nursing q
bruised head, declared Northwestern
would never have the new stadium il
has planned.
The police and firemen were help
less when the pre-arranged jubilee be-
gan, about o o'clock. The cops were
stripped of their badges and made the
victims of their own maces. Fire
men, dashing to answer numerous
alarms most of them false and Others
resulting from bon-fires, had their
hose knotted and equipment dumped
and scrambled.
RIOT SQUAD HELPS.
Finally after reinforcements of riot
squads came from Chicago and AZ
World War veterans were modified
by a former service mems Organiza
tion to aid the police. the students re-
tired to the Lake Michigan front and
ended the evening with huge bon
fires, songs and cheers.
President Walter Dill Scott. who
had been out of Evanston. returned rs
the celebration concluded. His only
comment was that the burned house
was not worth much, anyhow, and that
the university would not interfere in
behalf of students who had violated
city ordinances. They would have 70
stand the consequences in the city
courts.
The melee started when students
set fire to the fraternity house, which
was to be RACED and replaced by a
new quadrangle. The interior had
been soaked with oil. Others oiled and
ignited the old wooden stadium, which
the university hoped to replace with
a concrete structure next year if city
permission was given.
ORDERS TO SHOOT
Firemen who responded to alarms
were stampeded by the students. At
tempts to quiet them we're made by
Kenneth l.. (Tug) Wilson, athletic
director, and gridiron stars of the
school. Captain Tim Lowry and Ralph
(Moon) Baker. These succeeded IN
pcrsuading the students to cxtingulsh
the stadium fire.
William A. Wittberger, police chief,
advertised by Evanston ms the only
chief of police with a college cduca-
ton, attempted TO speak, but was
jecred and hooted down as the
scientific COP" Mayor Bartlett,
working with firemen TO recover lost
equipment, was knocked senseless.
When he was revived, he said the
students had lost any opportunity
they may ever have had to build their
proposed stadium. 1T is evident that
II 1000 students cannot be controlled.
it would be impossible to take care OF
$4,000 persons if the stadium crowds
gave trouble"
The police chief and fire depart
mcnt heads were equally wrathful.
Orders to shoot down anyone who at.
tempted further trouble were issued
by Chief Wittberger. Fire Chief Hot
stetter said his equipment had been
stolen, damaged and scattered.
The students under arrest were held
in connection with turning in false
IRE alnrIns.

OPEN THE OPERATORS BOOKS

No disappointment need be felt be-
cause the anthracite operators reject
Gov Pinchot's proposals for ending
the strike after the strike leaders had
accepted it. AS the operators point
out, the Pinchot plan was sure to peg
wages at a higher peak, although this
hardboiled monopoly must have had
trouble suppressing a smile when the
statement added that "prices are con-
trolled by the law of supply and de-
mand" and therefore wages could not
be maintained at artificial levels by
arbitrary agreements. In this day of
trade associations and an administra-
tion that shuts its eyes, that old copy
book maxim about the law of supply
and demand is a chestnut Governor
Pinchot wants to settle the strike in
a way to satisfy the miners without
increasing prices.
Governor Pinchot has made settle
ments before. At the time of his set
tlement Of the last showdown in the
series Of periodic strikes in this indus
try, Mr.. Pinchot declared that an in
crease of 60 cents a ton would cover
the raise. But by his own statement
later on we learned that the advance
ranged from seventy cents to one dol
lar AS he put it, the operators "took
advantage Of the situation to add to
their OWE profits" What guarantee
have we that another Pinchot settle
ment would not result in another

ARTICLE No. 9

Every club and every private circle
OF auction players have one or more
members who believe in using the pre-
emptive or shut out bid in practically
every hand. Such tactics are very snowy
when they succeed but as rule they
are losers. The other night a young
player from one of the Universities was
asked to play at one of the well-known
New York card clubs. He had a very
pleasant personality but his methods
of bidding were a little too rash to suit
his fellow players. He was one Of those
preemptive bidders who seem to think
that bid of zone" is old-fashioned and
out of date. He started off the first rub
Der as dealer and promptly bid "two
no-trump," winning the first game. On
the next deal, the first three players
passed and he bid four spades and won
the game and rubber. This was pretty
speedy but when he bid two o-trump," 4"
on the first game of the next rubber
and made three odd, the other players
began to look dazed. His luck was too
good to last, however, so when he bid
three spades on the following hand:
Hearts A, 8
Clubs "A, IL
Diamonds - A, E
Spades j, 10, 7, 6, AZ
he was doubled and lost sis points.
The other players thought this would
make him less cocky but on the very
next hand, he again bid two no-trump," !"
with the following hand:
Hearts A, K, 8
Clubs A, K, 10, 4
Diamonds - A, X, L, 6
Spades A, *
The next player bid three spades and
our college boy thought that he had a
chance to get back his loss of 500 points
so promptly doubled Much to his
amazement and chagrin, his opponent
made the three spades doubled. He had
freak hand, of course, but the college
boy made his task easy for him by max
ing the preemptive bid of two no-trump.
The opponents hand was as follows:

squeeze, and so encourage the opera
tors to again break their written
agreement.
This strike has already permitted
the operators to raise prices and they
are likely to be a long time coming
down.
Congress will be in session in few
days, the president may soft-pedal
these coal conditions in his message
as he did in his last recommendations
to the previous Congress. But Con
gress can turn to the report of the
United States Coal Commission,
whose services cost US half a million
dollars. This commission urgently
recommended legislation for full pub
licity of accounts in the anthracite in
dustry, through some federal agency
with power to compel reports-fCr
unless the public is protected by
publicity of accounts, we are appre-
hensive that the concentrated control
of the industry may take indefensive
profits"
If the operators have nothing tc
fear, they should support the com
missions recommendation. 1t would
prove their contention that the min
ers are the troublesome factors in
their industry. Yet the one thing
they seem to fear most is the open
ing of their books. Just the same,
any ending of the strike which does
not provide for this will not be set
tlement in behalf of the public.-EX
change.

Rubber game, no score. Z dealt and bid
one heart, A two spades and Y doubled.
What should now dor Should b pass,
bid two no-trump or three clubs2 At
that time the writer said: ''In the
opinion of the writer he should pass and
trust to his high cards to enable his
partner to make his bid. AS bid of two
spades over one heart should indicate
that his hand is good at spades and
nothing more. BIS hand has no spades
but fine side cards. If A makes his bid,
he will score game and rubber and he
certainly has a good chance to do so.
The two no-trump bid seems bad be-
cause of AS bid of two spades, which if
sound, should indicate spades and little
else. For that reason, how can B play
two no-trumps if he cannot make up
AS spade suit and AS hand cannot
help B in his three suits. The three club
bid is sound but doesn't offer a chance
for game. Pass seems by far the prefer
able thing to dc"
Since writing that opinion, the writer
has obtained the actual hands of all
four players. They were as follows:

The opponent would probably have bid
four or more spades with this hand if
the college boy had bid his hand up
gradually instead of starting in with
"two no-trump" and then "double." &"
Take your bidding gradually and don't
make preemptive bids unless you have
some very good reason for doing so.
The preemptive bid is very useful at
times but unless used with great dis
cretion is apt to prove boomerang, as
in the cases cited.

NORWAY RAPs RUM RUNNERS
Will Enact Law to Restrain Boats of
That Country From Breaking
Our Laws

Legislation to prevent participation of
Norwegian vessels in the rum running
trade with the United States is being con-
sidered by the Norwegian government,
according to cables from Oslo. Such
participation is characterized as discredit
to the flag.
The foreign office through its legation
in Washington has obtained names of
ten Norwegian vessels identified as
among those on rum row and the list has
been sent to the Ship Owners Associa-
ton and the Minister of Justice for
further action. The Ship Owners Asso-
citation already had cautioned masters
against rum running, warning that it
would refuse assistance to vessels run
ming afoul of American laws. The gov
eminent also issued a warning that YES
sells caught in American waters would
not receive support of Norway's official
representatives.
Norwegian public opinion as reflected
in Oslo favors enactment of any legisla-
ton assisting American officials so long
as it does not abridge Norway's legal
rights on the sea.

OPENING WEDGE PROVIDED

Enthusiasm Grows

In Herdfelf, Prussia, the police have
taken step which is looked upon as the
opening wedge to prohibition in Ger
many Police have forbidden the sale of
any hard liquors on holidays and on Sat-
urday from noon on. They are seeking
to prevent the working population spend
ing its weekly wages on drink.
The new order has been in effect for
sufficiently long time for the population
to declare it to be a success and it is rec
commended for imitation German
newspapers characterize the decree as
quite original"
Prohibition enthusiasts are becoming
numerous in Germany They are now
swapping the newly elected legislative
assembly with demands for prohibition
limitation of alcohol consumption and
state control of the sale of spirituous
liquors. These demands are considered
the first step in making Germany dry.

BOND DECLARED VIOLATED
Agents Seize Beer as It Leaves Brew
cry; Action Will Be Taken to
Forfeit Indentures

For the second time within week fed
eral agents under Divisional Prohibition
Chief Reuben B. Sans, of Philadelphia,
last week seized a shipment Of high pow
cred beer which was leaving a brewery
under bond not to violate the law, with
the result that action will be started
against the plant for the forfeiture of
bonds amounting to $4,000. The seizure
was made outside of the plant of the Ash
land Brewery Company at Ashland, Pa.
Earlier in the week agents seized 400
barrels of beer which were being shipped
from the Lauer brewing plant at Read
ing which is under $4,000 bond. There
were 234 barrels of beer in the carload
which was being shipped from the Ash
land brewery, according to William F.
Brennan, assistant divisional chief. Thus
it is shown that brewers can not, or at
least do not obey the law even when I'M
der bond. And yet there are presum-
ably sensible people in this country urg-
ing that the Volstead law be modified so
as to permit the manufacture and sale of
beer OH the theory that the opening of
the breweries will promote law enforce
ment.
