The Bidding

1hC DhuuAhS
 South, the dealer, bid one club, which is a rather weak bid. West passed and North, with his six-card suit and two quick tricks, took out with one diamond. East passed. South's partner has made One over One bid, South Is required to keep the bidding open at least once. With the One over One partner has shown at least one and one-half tricks and South feels quite confident that one of those tricks, should be in spades as he has all of the other three suits stopped. Taking this chance, South went to two no trump which North carried to three.
 The Play
 West opened the four of spades. his fourth best spade. North played small spade which East won with the jack. East returned the nine, West winning with the ace and returning the three of spades which North won with the queen. East discarded the eight of hearts declarer a small club. The ace of clubs was led from dummy and then a small diamond. East played the eight-spot and the declarer finessed the. jack, which West won with the queen. West then cashed his three good spades, North, the dummy, discarding three dia- monds. East discarding the, five and seven of clubs and the six of diamonds, and South, the declarer dropping the eight of clubs. the deuce and 10 of hearts. West led the four of hearts, Dummy played the nine. East the queen and de- clarer wins with the ace. Declarer leads the king of diamonds which East wins with the ace and cashes sis good king of hearts, declarer dropping the jack of clubs. De- clarer wins the last two tricks but East and West have won eight tricks which defeats the declarer's contract four tricks. .. .S .
 The results were rather dis astrous, especially when it would have been easy for the declarer to go game If the first trick had been won in the dummy with the queen. and the ace of clubs had been led, following with the deuce of dia- monds. When Easa plays the eight, declarer should go up with the king. This would catch the single ton queen in the West hand. South would return the jack of diamonds which East should refuse to win. Declarer would then lead the nine of diamonds which East would be forced to win with the ace.
 If East were to return the heart. the finesse should be taken. but if the jack of spades were returned by East. West would win with the ace and then lead small spade which North. the dummy, would would have to win with the king, East discarding the eight of hearts and declarer the six Sef clubs. De- clarer would cash his three good diamonds in dummy, East drop ping three clubs and South. the declarer. sdiscarding q club and two hearts. Deciarer would then lead . small heart from dummy. win with the ace in his own hand, cash his good king of clubs, and he would lose the last trick to the queen oi clubs in the West hand.
 In this manner the deciarer would make four no trump.

SENATE INQUIRY
ASKED IN HALL
DISMISSAL
Commerce Expert, Fined for
i" Insubordination, Writes
Lamont for VindiCation

A congressional investigation
into the dismissal of DR.. Roy o.
Hall from the Department Of
Commerce today was practically
assured.
The charges upon which DR..
Hall was "fired" from his post as
economic statistician. preparing
the final figures relating to the
international balance of trade In
1880, have interested several Sen
atOrs and Representatives to the
point where they are making in
tensive personal surveys in the
case.
Opposed influences"
DR.. Hall took strong exception
to alleged political influences"
in the Department of Commerce
seeking to sidetrack him from
his announced purpose of attack
ing the validity OF certain import
value estimates OF the Bureau
of the Census in his "interna-
tional balance" report.
When he declined to stand
sponsor to a departmental report
which contained the Census Bu'
reau figures, DR.. Hall was dis
charged for INSTRUMENTATION.
Says Figures False
DIR. Hall charges that mer'
chandise imports were revised in
the customs statistics for 1890
and also declares that foreign
loans figures are false. 1t is the
former charge that has especially
caught the eye Of certain Pro,
gresSive Senators.
In an open letter to Secretary
of Commerce Robert P. Lamont,
DR.. Hall states his case and an.
nounces his plan of seeking a
vindication. He intends to lay
all the facts before the Senate
