LIABILITY
IS UPHELD

Placing Of bank stocks in trust
for a minor child does not relieve
parent Of liability for assess,
ment in event the bank fails and
it becomes necessary to assess the
stockholders to pay off depositors'
claims.
The Supreme Court so ruled
yesterday in a suit brought by
the Comptroller Of the Currency
against the Farmers and Mer.
chants National Bank Of Lake
City. S. c.. and Thomas A. Early,
receiver.
A father who owned stock in
the bank placed certain shares
of the stock in trust for minor
son. When the bank failed and
the receiver assessed the stock
holders, the father refused to pay
the assessment on the contention
that the stock was no longer his
as he had given it to his son, and
that the son was not liable be-
cause he had no knowledge of the
condition of the bank or the value
Of the stock and as a minor
could not be assessed.

TWO MURDERS
OPEN new YEAR
IN WINDY CITY
Pair Slain as Bells Peal,
Mystery ShroudS One
of Killings.

DB United PTess
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-Two murders
vera recorded by police within ten
minutes as the new year was
ushered into Chicago.
One Of the shots that roared out
at the height of the celebration,
marking the passing of 1929, meant
death for Fred Leon Roe, 50, prom
inent Mason and member of the
Chicago real estate board. His body
was found shortly after midnight on
a sidewalk in the Logan Square dis
trict, a bullet wound through the
abdomen.
Whether he was killed by a
drunken 'reveler, was the victim of
bandit as he walked toward his
home from grocery. or was muir
dered for another reason has not
been determined. His widow and
two small children survive.
The other Staying occurred at
New Years eve party at the home
OF Miss Margaret Dryer, %. Just
as the bells pealed out and the guns
betokened midnight, Al Lambert
stepped up to William Havenann, 81.
This is the chance I've been
waiting for" police we're told Lam
bert said as he shot and killed
Havenann. The two were said to
have been rivals for the affections
of Miss Dryer. Police had not found
Lambert today.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. with
bullet-proof vests laid aside, G. l..
Potter, Lafayette banker and manu-
facturer, and his attorney, Charles
H. Robertson, are back at their
homes here today after being chased
and later arrested in Chicago as
bandit suspects.
Recently the two local men were
in Chicago and inspected some
property owned by Potter. They
found an instance of lease violation.
The tenant, when the matter was
called to his attention, became
angry and spoke of somebody may
be getting bumped Off"
Potter and Robertson, on return
ing to Chicago, decided to equip
themselves with steel vests for an
other conference with the tenant.
They tried to buy the armor from
a Chicago company, but lacked
money enough to pay for it. They
left the store, but later telephoned
asking delivery of the vests.
Company representatives, suspect
ing two bandits were preparing to
protect themselves, notified police.
They assigned an officer to pose as
the delivery man. He brought the

from Dummy for the flneSSe OF the
Queen.
AS the first move, Declarer led
her Ace of Diamonds, on which
West played the 2, Dummy the 3,
and East the 5. Declarer then LED
the Ace of Clubs, trumping it with
the 9 Of Spades in Dummy.
West played the of Clubs; East
the S. Declarer had to make this
play before leading trumps even
once, as the adversary who won the
first trump trick surely would con-
tinue the suit to take Dummy's
ether trump off the board, thus
killing Declarers chance of g. Dunn
my entry.
DECLARER, to trick, 4, led
81 Dummy's King of Diamonds,
discarding her own of Hearts. East
played the 9 of Diamonds, and West
the 6. Dummy then led the Deuce
of Hearts, East played the 4, De-
cIarer finessed her Queen, and West
played the 3.
Declarer then led the Deuce of
Spades. Rutter, West, saw it would
cost nothing to play low, so he
played the 7. Dummy played the
Jack, and East won with the King.
East then led the of Clubs, to
force Declarer's trumps. South
ruffed with the of Spades; West
played the 7 of Clubs, and Dummy
discarded the of Diamonds.
Declarer then led the 10 of
Spades, hoping to knock the adj
verse Ace and Queen together. West
played the Queen. Dummy discard
ed the of Hearts, and East, to De-
clarer's disappointment, discarded
the Deuce of Clubs.
Declarer, with only trumps re-
naming in her hand, placed her
cards face up on the table, conced-
ing the Ace of Spades to the adver-
saries and claiming the rest.
Declarer made her game, four
tricks in Spades, with So for trick
points; the adversaries scored 80 for
their three honors.
TN Mr.. Works comments on the
Il bid and play of the hand, Mr..
Work commended Mrs. Tubs
Spade bid, but did not wish that
statement to be regarded as a
precedent for bidding ten-high
suits.
In this case the declarer was
justified only by the extraordinary
type of hand held by Mrs. Tubbs.
Technically, her hand was a No
Trumper, with more than the re-
quired high-card strength, and three
suits stopped according to the def
milton of stopped suits.
Ten-high suits are generally not
considered stopped, but obviously in
this case Mrs. Tubbs had no fear
that a great number of Spades could
be run against her; so actually she
had four suits stopped in addition to
a surplus of strength.
The hand would be played the
same at Contract, but the bidding
would begin and end with call of
four Spades by Dealer.

after being lost sixty hours on the

The first resolution was that here

at the crucial moment deprived them
of a fire as they wandered without

delivery when they tried to pay for
them with a check. Two other Off
GERS were stationed outside to make
the arrests. There was some talk
about Potter being Fred R. Burke,
much wanted bandit killer.
The Hoosiers and the delivery
man-officer went to a bank to get
money for the vests. The other
police trailed them, and picked up
reinforcements on the way.
Shortly after leaving the bank,
the officers closed in on the decoy
and his prey. Explanations followed,
and Potter and Robertson were ad-
vised that in future 1t would be well
for them to deal with tenants on a
basis not requiring steel vests.

FISK HINTS ON
CARE OF TIRES

The Fisk Tire Company, Inc, has
Just issued four suggestions to motor
lists which will help them to care
for their tires. This company also
suggests that motorists employ the
services Of trained repairmen If
they do not repair their own tires
The rules follow:
Do not force down on the hex
agon nut when applying a new
tube or a new valve. While IL is
important to tighten this nut the
thing a be overdone. Tighten ID
Snug-no more, no less.
Be careful when you place a flap
In the tire. Be sure that the flap
Is straight and kept on the center
at all times before applying the
rim. A wrinkled flap can do much
damage TO q tire.
When closing a tire rim before
applying the air pressure be sure
the ends come together flush. II
they do not match apply a small
amount Of air. Improperly placed
rims cause much trouble.
Don't use oil for leaky valves.
Oil is an enemy of rubber. II will
stop a leaky valve but will injure
the tube. Better to insert a new
core.
