When z saw his 212 quick
tricks, three guarded suits, and
o choice between a somewhat
weak heart bid and rather an
anemic no-trump, he chose the
latter declaration. It looked to
A that his adversaries had no
suit except diamonds to which
they could shift safely. Sit
ting behind the no-trump hand
augmented the values A held,
making it almost certain that
X-Z would bid themselves into
trouble in case they bid game
at a minor suit. A decided to
bid 2-Spades.
AS US partner had shown
general strength by his open

so.aed that his partner must be
short of diamonds, and strong
in the two unbid suits, to ven
ture bidding a suit of which B
held A-K-8-5, so he bid 3-Spades.
Having started something that
he could not stop, z passed.
So did A, and the hand would
have been played at a harm
less part game contract had Y
read his cue correctly from rs

a pal game score would be
fine, and that his adversaries
failure to bid game showed
their inability to do so safely.
Y bid 4-Diamonds. Sy.
When A failed to bid, B
blamed himself for not having
jumped the declaration to
game; his partner never could
suspect such strong trump sup
port as B held. Welcoming Y's
slip, B bid 4-Spades. z doubled

Interesting Bridge Hands
BY E. V. Shepard

Some bids lack nothing of
being stupid. When you can
not go game, unless certain
that you can fulfill your own
contract and that you can
safely double and defeat fur
ther adverse bidding, you should
allow contracting to die as
soon as opponents cease bidding
a part game contract.
Often our opponents force us
to a higher declaration than
we had intended, and then
double our bid. Great is our
satisfaction if we surprise them,
and perhaps ourselves, by full
filling our double contract.
Such a case developed in the
hand shown.

the legislature one new Office on the
bench was created but 1t Is expected
that at the next session of the gen.
eral assembly more additions to the
bench will follow.
The average time elapsing between
return days and jury trials in civil
actions, the report shows, was nine
and one-quarter months. The aver
age time between return day and
court trials was Is and one-half
months
AS for the criminal side Of the
court, a good showing is attested for
States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis.
Only one case was carried over
from the preceding fiscal year. Dur
ing the year the records show the
following: New cases entered, 1874;
cases nolled, 35; cases disposed of
on pleas Of guilty. SO; cases tried
before juries, g.; cases tried before
the court, II; convictions following
trial, IA; acquittals following trial,
3; undisposed of at the end of the
year, 10.
Because Of the fact that there are
now 10 cases carried over from the
present past fiscal year to the pres
ent one, the legislature, in antici-
pating such situation, created the
Office of assista states attorney.
Attorney william B. FitzGerald oc-
cupies this post and with his aid
it is believed that states attorney
Lewis will be in position to push
his criminal prosecutions ahead
faster this year than he or his pre-
decessors were in past years.

However, according to informa-
ton obtained by the Democrat,
Commissioner Chesson will not con-
slider the idea. He made this plain
in statements issued and no party
pressure can induce him to become
the z. o. p. mayoralty nominee, at
least at this time, regardless of who
attempts to have him throw his hat
into the political arena.
Attorney Conway two years ago
sought the mayoralty office himself
on the republican ticket. He was
defeated by the present democratic
incumbent, Mayor Frank Hayes,
and this year has emphatically re-
fused to be a candidate once more.
man, though, providing a unified
republican support is guaranteed.
The republican town committees
meeting Monday night promises to
be an interesting one because that
body is badly split up and has
been undergoing a brisk trimming
down by several members of the
committee during the past few
months, who have charged lack of
interest and collision with the
democratic forces.
It is guaranteed. however, it was
said to-day by certain local ardent
republicans that Attorney Conway
will not assume ~the Office of town
chairman unless there is an assured
fact that the republican leaders will
get behind their party's candidate
and do all in their power to elect
him. Upon their promise relies the
consent of Mr. Tracy to accept the
nomination.

are sitting back and smiling at the

searched for adventure, his father
told the United Press to-day.
Maybe he got part of his craving

father, John P. Jones. 70. II went
to Mexico as motive superintendent
for the Tehuantepec National rail-
roads when Harry was just a boy
and took him along.
"He liked 1t fine in that new coun-
try and found lots of excitement
But when the United States entered
the World war, Harry saw new
fields for adventure.
"He Joined the marine corps and
served until the armistice. Then he
went to Texas and got into the oil
business with the Midland company
at Tampico. That was new indus
try then, you know.
"The company sent him around
the country in an airplane. and Har-
nv persuaded the pilot, who was a
Mexican, to teach him to fly. After
that he did his own plotting. He
seemed to take up aviation just like
lots of business men learn and en-
joy golf"
The elder Jones was excited, he
admitted, over his sons epochal
fight, but it did not prevent him
from going to work as usual as SUI

Four years ago the republicans
