Trick 8. Declarer must lose two
Spades and one Diamond. To avoid
losing a Club trick, Club must be
discarded from both his own hand and
Dummy's, since if trumps are drawn
there can be no more than one left in
each hand, and at least one Diamond

quest Another meeting will be called
80 days after the termination of this
meeting to hear the shippers request
for a general downward revision.

service into the central union passen-

was cut off late today by flood waters
from the Ohio river.
Train passengers We're forced to use
other means of transportation to get
to outlying stations. Abandonment of
central station had been anticipated
and consequently resulted in little in
terruption of train service.
The river continued a steady rise to-
wards it's peak, which it is believed
will be reached at a stage of SO feet.
Tonight the water had risen to, a
height of SIS feet.
Residents in the bottoms" are ma
rooned and street car service in the
lowland along the river has been sus-
pended Heavy damage is not expected
to result, as the affected territory had
ample time to prepare for the high
water. The greatest damage was re-
ported at a point farther up the river,
where the water began to recede today.
At Pomeroy and Marietta. Ohio, where
homes and business houses were flood
ed, the river began its drop back to
normal today A complete check of the
damage at these points was not avail

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-(R-In a
report to the senate, the treasury said
today that under cover activities
were resorted to in prohibition only
to obtain evidence against major law
violators and would not be used to
trap citizens and must be kept within
the law.

record" said the report, transmitted in
response to a resolution by Senator
Reed, democrat, "that these activities
are not looked upon with favor in any
circumstances and are forbidden if
they are used for any other purpose
than to gain information leading to
evidence against major law violators
engaged in the commercialized liquor
traffic. One of the cases cited dealt
with operations along the Canadian
border when two prohibition agents
were furnished an automobile and
money for rum running from Canada
to Albany with the consnt of Judge
Cooper of the United States court for
the northern district of New York. AS
a result, the report said, evidence was
obtained against 40 alleged bootleg

U. S. Upper House Unani-
mOusIy Adopts Robinson
Resolution.
FIR. M
Main Point At Issue Is Con-
fiscatiOn OF Property In
Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Jan. -H9--Taking
it's first direct stand on the Mexican
question, the senate today unanimously
advised President Coolidge to arbi-
trate the pending controversies with
Mexico over that republics oil and
land laws.
Every one of the 70 senator's pres
ent-42 republicans, Sc democrats and
the one r-labor-voted for the
resolution of Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, the democratic leader, as re-
vised last week by the foreign rela-
tions committee.
Several however, approved the reso-
luton with reservations, either on the
ground that it constituted an inter
ference with the powers of the chief
executive or might encourage the Mex
ican government to the adoption of an
even stronger policy than heretofore
enforced.
Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri,
who voted against the resolution in
committee, had been looked to for
leadership in opposition to senate ac-
tion and had prepared a speech, but
deferred it's delivery until tomorrow.
He advised the senate late in the day.
when members were demanding a vote,
that he would not detain it longer,
and left the chamber.
Some blunt words, directed appar-
entity at both the American and Mexi-.
can governments, were used by those
foremost in urging favorable action
by the senate on what was described
as a re-affirmation of the age-old poll
icy of arbitration and of the duty of
the government to protect the lives
and property of its citizens.
Senator Robinson declared there
were only two courses other than ar
bitration; severance of diplomatic re-
lations with resulting revolution and
the eventual overthrow of the Gales
government and Intervention by armed
forces of the United States, which
would mean war. The Arkansan warn
ed that If American troops marched
into Mexico they would remain not for
single year, but for the lifetime of
even the youngest senator in the
chamber.
Declaring that the United States
had been most patient and lenient
with Mexico, Senator Lenroot of Wis
cOnSln, a republican, Oh the lorelSh to
lations COMMITTEES, said that unless
Mexico fulfilled her international OBJ
legations a diplomatic break would
come and the embargo on the shipment
of arms to Mexico would be lifted

ocrat, Utah, said he was certain there
would be no war with Mexico, because

Chaplin $ Receivers
Are Restrained From
Property Interference

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25. -p9 - Re-
cevers, named as result of Lita
Grey Chaplin's suit for divorce, were
restrained, temporarily at least, from
further interfering with the California
properties of Charles Chaplin today
when the second district court of APP
peals, division one, issued an alter
native writ of prohibition sought by
the comedians attorneys. The writ
also restrains, the superior courts from
further action in the divorce suit. A
hearing on whether the writ of pro-
hibiton should be made pernlanent
will be held by the appellate court
next Tuesday after an order to show
cause also issued today. Chapln's re-
quest for the action of the appellate
court was based on the claim that the
superior courts had been without ju-
risdiction in appointment of receiver
ship and other proceedings in the di-
vorce suit since Chaplin had not been
served and was not under the jurisdic-
tion of the court.
The writ makes it impossible for
Mrs Chaplin to collect for at least
week any part of her bill of $14,400
for alimony and court costs granted
by the superior court.
The petition for the writ was filed
this morning and was issued after the
court had conferred at length with at
torneys for both Chaplin and his wife.

China Focuses Eyes
On Foreigners, And
Especially the British.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 25.-GP-Civil war
which racked China for year has
been virtually suspended while the
country focuses its attention upon the
struggle of the nationalist, or Cam
tonese government, against foreign
ers, particularly the British. The Cam
tonese, having brought under itheir
domination half of China in a remark
able campaign of arms and propaganda,
have for the time ceased their attack
upon the northern forces and turned
their attention to elimination of for
eign influence.
The British alignment against the
nationalists has been more clearly
drawn in the last two days. First,
the nationalists vigorous pronuncia-
mento yesterday directed most speci-
ficially against Great Britain, and,
second, the numerous dispatches from
London reporting that three infantry
brigades had been ordered to China to
protect British lives and property in
Shanghai.
However, Chinese everywhere are
asking whether force of such size
will be held for such limited objective;
whether part of it may not be used to
attempt to restore the old position of
the British at Hankow whose conces-
sion district has been taken over by
nationalist authorities for admins
trative purposes.
Hundreds of British and American
women and children have come to
Shanghai for safety since the Chinese
mobs forced them out of the British
concession in riots of January and A.
There is civil war today in only two
theatres - Chekiang province, where
the best reports agree that Marshal
Sun Chuan- Fang, northern leader, is at
present holding his own against the
nationalist invaders of one of his
provinces of eastern China, and in
Honan province, where confusion and
obscurity resulted from the detection
Of lieutenants of Marschal Wu Pei-Fu
whose provinces in central China were
occupied by the nationalist armies.
