MIR. WHITEHEAD accordingly
1V1 determined to bid his hand
defensively. His plan contemplate
ed the naming of his Spade suit
first, which would require a bid of
but four.
Should the opponents bid five
Hearts, Whitehead intended to
double for business. Should his bid
of four Spades be doubled, White
head would then bid five Clubs be-
fore showing his Diamonds. Any
double of this or other bids must
come from North, as South with her
holding could not possibly have any
reason for doubling an adverse bid.
Following. NorthS double Of five
Clubs, if made, Whitehead's part
ner, East, could show his preference
for Spades without increase of con-
tract; and should he express this
preference, Whitehead would be
prepared to play the hand al five
Spades doubled.
But should East pass the doubled
five Club bid, Whitehead would bid
five Diamonds, which would be-
come the final bid unless his part
ner, with much better support for
Clubs, should bid six If that suit.
Whatever might be the develop
ment, Whitehead was prepared for
it, and thus anticipated no serious
loss. Therefore he bid four Spades.
Work, North, with a sure trick in
Diamonds and possible tricks both
in Spades and in Clubs, bid five
Hearts.
Byrnes, East, on the strength of
his four Spades, including the Ace,
raised his partners Spade bid to
five.
Mrs. Purdy passed, as she already
had bid the full strength of her
hand. Whitehead also passed, as
the bidding had developed in such
manner as to make it unnecessary
for him to cary out his contemplate
ed program.
Work passed. He was tempted to

Stunning the Queen of trumps to be
held by North.
If either suit were not SO split, the
contract would be set. Accordingly
as the only way to make his con-
tract, Whitehead proceeded on the
assumption of normal splits, even
though all chances were against
them.
LIS plans perfected, Whitehead
IL led the 4 of Clubs, to take his
inevitable loss of a Club trick at
once and facilitate the establish
ment of the suit, while at the same
time concealing his Club strength.
Work play ed the Jack; Dummy the
3; Mrs. Purdy the 2.
Work led the 9 of Hearts, to force
the Declarer again. Dummy played
the 5; Mrs. Purdy the King.
Whitehead trumped with the Jack
of Spades, not with a low Spade, in
order that the Ace-10 in Dummy
might be placed in tenace position
over the Queen he assumed to be in
Works hand.
Whitehead led the King of
Spades; Work played the 8; Dunn

Dummy led the Ace of Spades;

PROBE LEASE
ON POSTOFF|CE
Attorney General to Sift
Fraud Charges.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 14.-At-
torney General Sargent today as"
sured Representative Mas of St
Paul that the Department of JUS
tice would proceed at once to inves-
tigate the circumstances of the Gov
ernment's $4,000 "unbreakable'
leacc on poStoffice building in St
Paul, on property estimated by a
Federal grand jury to be worth
about $250000.
Mas said if the facts disclosed
by Department of Justice investi-
cation warranted it, he would ask
for congressional investigation
not only of the st. Paul situation,
but of Government leases through
out the country.
The Federal Grand Jury sitting in
St. Paul last week went into the
matter of the Federal building and
commercial station there, because
matters we're proceeding so slowly
and uncertainty with regard to a
new aforementioned postoffice
for st. Paul.
The promoters who put up the
building in st. Paul, which they
subsequently rented to the Govern
ment, also f1oated a bond issue on
the building for around $850,000. on
the basis of the Government
tWenty-year "unbreakable lease" at
100000 per year.
The Federal Grand Jury held that
fraud, misrepresentation and cor
ruption entered into the transaction
from its inception"

double, but did not because it might
help Declarer to place the Queen OF
trumpS. Thus Whitehead won the
bid for five Spades.
n n
NXTORK opened the play by lead
w ing the Jack of Hearts. the
higher of his two cards of his part
ner'S suit. Byrnes spread his hand
for Dummy, and Declarer played
from it the 3 of Hearts.
Mrs. Purdy covered with the
Queen of Hearts with the intention
of leading her singleton Diamond
should the trick hold Declarer
trumped with the 2 of Spades.
Whitehead then studied the hand
to determine his best plan Of play.
He saw that if he could hold his
losses to one Club and one Diamond
he could make his bid.
Considering the trump situation,
Whitehead assumed that the Queen
was held by North. II the adverse
trumps we're split normally, 80, the
Queen would be but twice guarded
and a single finesse through it
would result eventually il its cap
ture, thus preventing the loss of a
trick in trumpS.
One of Whitehead's trumps,
therefore, had to be used for finesS-
ing, and his King had to be used
to take one round Of trumpS. That
would leave him only one trump
with which to ruff Hearts in addi-
ton to the one already used for
that purpose.
One of Dummy's two remaining
Hearts must therefore he discarded
to prevent the loss of a Heart trick.
Dummy also had to discard a Dia-
mond, or a second Diamond trick
would be lost.
However, Whitehead saw that if
he could establish his Club suit in
three rounds, the two vital discards
from Dummy could be made on
the two Club tricks thus established.
Whitehead therefore concluded
that the making of his contract was
dependent upon the normal 81 pitt
both of trumps and of Clubs. as

THE Radio Bridge season ended
Il with the game broadcast Tues
day night under auspices Of The
Times from Station WFBM. Judg-
ing from the comments received at

ence with a desire for the continual

Of Omaha. whose fame extends into
many States as a result OF her
classes in many parts of this coun-
try and Canada; and w. E. Byrnes
of New York, former president of
the American Whist League.
Mrs. Purdy, the Dealer, South,
opened the game with pre-emp-
tive bid of four Hearts on: Spades,
g. A. Hearts, A, K, Q, 10, Z, 6. 4, Q;
Diamonds, 5; Clubs, c. 2. White

dicament. With his holding

Diamonds, K, @, 10, 7; Clubs, A, K,
8, 8, 4-he would have liked to
double informatority for his part
ner's best bid.
But unfortunately a double of a
bid of four is a business double, and
Whitehead was not at all sure he
could defeat four Hearts bid on
what undoubtedly was a freak
hand.
An original bid of four indicates
ordinarily a practically Slid suit of
at least eight cards with but little
or no support; and judging from
Whitehead'S own holding, Mrs.
Purdy might hold as many as ten
Hearts in sequence, with sure
game.
On the other hand, Whitehead
reasoned that his own high cards
should produce game if played with
his partners best suit as trump. I'M
less his partner held a worthless
hand.
In that case game at Hearts would
be probable for the opponents, and
any lose that Whitehead might sus-
tain, should be made a bid and be

position in favor of one-man rule of fisheries, the speaker thought 1t sig nificant that in this campaign the canneries are not putting up any money for the defeat of Delegate Sutherland.
 MT. Grigsby asserted that Delegate Sutherland had called Hoover a fixer, grafter and thief, and to support this assertion he read extracts from a statement made by his opponent be- fore the House Committee on Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries at a hearing held on the White Fisheries Bill in 1924. Then addressing the Republicans present, MT. Grigsby said:
 "Supposing you Republicans had elected Hoover president and wanted to send some special representative down to Washington for some special favor would you pick man who had called Hoover a grafter and thief? Yet if you elect Hoover president and my Republican opponent as Delegate to Congress in Washington you will be picking that very man for per manent residence in Washington for the next two years to attend to your wants and attempt to get favors for you"
 MT. Grigsby said if Hoover were elected it would be an insult to him for Alaskans to elect MT. Sutherland to represent them in Congress.
 MT. Grigsby talked earnestly for about two hours. And of course it is not possible for us to print one tenth of all he said.
 In closing he stated that if elected he would most decidedly ask for the repeal of the Alaska bone dry law This declaration brought out the most pronounced applause of the evening.

day, April 23, 1906, from an ailment of the stomach extending for years. Although sorely afflicted, he has borne bravely up, looking forward to going to work all right" when on the streets few days ago. Deceased came to Wrangell from Marion coun- ty, Oregon, in 1897; for several years he conducted the Fort Wrangel Ho- tel and was quite well known throughout this part of Alaska, as an affable, pleasant man and strictly honest. He was member of Stikine Tribe No. 5, I. o. R. M. and Juneau Lodge No. APO, B. P. O. E His re- mains were buried yesterday by the Red Men, several local Elks acting as pall-bearers MT. Hamilton was aged 48 years. He leaves a widow to mourn his loss, and the town has lost one of its best citizens.
 Surveyor c. E. Davidson was in town two or three days during the week surveying the burnt district and laying out the streets according to suggestions from the members of the council and the town trustee. Some difficulty was encountered in finding a corner to start from, as the former survey had not been marked. But by diligent search it was found and the lines established to the satis- faction of all. Mir. Davidson left on the Alaskan for Petersburg, where he will catch boat for Juneau. His wife's relatives were in San Fran cisco at the time of the disaster, and MT. Davidson was nervous about her. He will probably return soon to con- tinue the work of surveying the townsite. The lines as now estab- lished for the front street are almost identical with the former lines.
 Messrs. Hungerford, Breyman and Howard left out yesterday for a month or six weeks up the river, whither they went to "bust up' lot of wood for the Hudsons Bay Co.
 c. F. Stedman, ship carpenter, who is well known around Juneau and other points north as an expert in his line, has moved his family to Wrangell and will engage in work at his trade. He has established shop in the old cooper shop in the western end of town, and is now working on 24-foot sloop for some parties at Rake, and as soon as that is complet- ed, will work on some power boats, having enough contracts to keep him busily engaged all summer. MT. Stedman came here for advantages in procuring lumber at the Wrangell sawmill. He is assisted by John Langseth of Juneau.
 Up to the present time it has been quite a picnic for worthless char acters to receive a sentence for some offense or other and placed in the Federal jail, being allowed the liber- ty of the town. But a ruthless stop is to be put to this condition. A stockade eight feet high is to be built around the jail building and all pris- oners kept within the inclosure. Be- ing penned up will put an end to the desire of some to be in jail when in the town, and the demand for free board is expected to decline some- what before long.
