Invasion by Government of the
fields of private business will
probably be major political
issue in the next presidential
campaign, Governor Albert c.
Ritchie predicted in a talk given
before the Washington Board of
Trades Maryland nigh meeting
at the Willard Hotel last night.
He also tackled the prohibi-
ton problem, receiving enthusi-
astic applause when he asserted
that the solution of this question
calls for intelligent study.
Announcement JAM.
He said that this subject should
not have been included in the
Constitution and should be re-
moved.
The moral arguments used by
drys in obtaining its passage are
now used as weapons by its op-
ponents.
Governor Ritchie is to an
nounce his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for the
Presidency before the Concord
Club in Baltimore on January
Z. He said:
"The Eighteenth Amendment
has not brought about better
living or better habits, nor has
it given youth better protection.
More people have gone to Jail
and youth has had more temp
tationS since it went into ef-
feet"
He said the cost of Government
has grown Is times faster than the
population and that private bust
ness enterprises must pay for it.
District Ties Lauded
Senator Millard F. Tydings,
State Senator L. C. Sasscer and
Major E. Brooke Lee, other speak

Tragedy Party"

RENO, New, Dec. II (I.N.S.).
A college coed who admitted
Joining in the revels of the
smart divorce set at the Dude
Ranch Of Cornelius Wander
bilt, jr., today told story
of the party that preceded the
death of a beautiful young
widow.
DR.. Carl Pierre Andre, Fair.
mont (W. Va.) dentist, is on trial
here charged with responsibility
for that death.
Pretty Miss Mary Ruth Sea-
mon, a senior at the University

cocktail party, following which,
the State contended, DR.. Andre
and Mrs. Martha Hutchinson, a
20-year-old. widow, went for a
desert automobile ride from which
the young woman returned with
fatal injuries.
Barely Tasted Hers
Miss Seamon told how she ac-
companied Mrs. Hutchinson to
the Vanderbilt ranch. Then she
went for horseback ride with a
friend:
'We rOdeO back to the Block
House. There were 10 or IL
others there, including Mrs.
Lawrence Tibbett. A round of
drinks was being served. 1 re-
fused mine. Mrs. Hutchinson
barely tasted hers"
Testimony of Mrs. Claire Stott,
pretty brunette divorcee, termed
by the State "the other woman in
the case," was previous witness.
Called by the State to tell of the
"wild cocktail party" that eli
NAKED in the death of Mrs. Hutch
inson, Mrs. Scott declared she was
"only a casual friend" of DR.. An
DIRE, and that Mrs. Hutchinson,
and not DR.. Andre, was intoxicated
the night of the fatal party.
Accident, He Says
The State charged that DR.. An.
DIRE struck Mrs. Hutchinson and
threw her from a speeding auto
mobile latter his love for her had
turned to hatred" DR.. Andre con-
tended Mrs. Hutchinson had fallen
accidentally from the car.
Laughter ripple d through the
courtroom as witnesses told var
ious humorous incidents that hap
pened at the cocktail party in the
"block house"

the murder of a farmer, his wife

Worlds Greatest Woman Bridge Player

NEW YORK Dec. II
(I.N.S. ).-I welcome these re-
cesses in the play of the battle
of conflicting systems at con-
tract bridge for two reasons,
To me the controlling reason
is that Christmas is near, and
I have presents to buy. For even
bridge players families believe
in Santa Claus.
Contract bridge is an absorbing
game. 1 find in it great relaxa-
ton and recreation, but it is
not, as some of these great
experts would have you believe,
the chief end in life.
Studying Mistakes
I am glad also of the tenn
porary vacation for a second
reason. It gives to me, as I
suppose it gives to the other
players, an opportunity to study
the hands that have been played,
to consider the mistakes that
have been made by the players,
and particularly by myself, and
in the light of that study, decide
on a method of guarding against
a repetition of them.
I can see a considerable num-
Der of errors in judgment which
I have made. I think I can see
errors made by our opponents,
Mr.. Sidney S. Lenz and Mr..
Oswald Jacoby, due not to any
fault of theirs, but to a faulty
system.
Likes Mystery Stories
Even though I consider other
interests in life greater than this
absorbing game. I still believe
that when we play it, we should
follow a system upon which we
can depend.
I love mystery stories. They
are to me the most interesting
form of present day fiction. ]
think one reason I am 30 fond
of bridge is that it has so many
things in common with mystery
stories.
Each deal, even before we pick
up the cards, has in it untold
possibilities. The mystery is
there. The clues to the solu-
ton are in the bids made by our
partner and our adversarieS.
The satisfaction in the game
comes when we have drawn the
correct inferenceS from these
bids, and through the deductions
thus made have been enabled to
solve that mystery, the best bid
on the hand.
It is because I believe the

BRITAIN WARNS
PARIS ON REICH

LONDON, Dec. II QN.S0.
The British government served
notice upon France today that
it does not intend to recede in
the controversy between Paris
and London over German repara-
ton payments and private debts.
Sir John Simon, foreign Secre-
tary, handed the French ambaS-
sador strongly worded note.
setting forth the British view
that German commercial obliga-
tions must take priority over
reparation annuities if German
credit is to be maintained and
a financial catastrophe, perhaps
affecting other nations, averted.
