BY WILLIAM f. MKENNEY

Secretary, American Bridge League
HAVING too many high cards is
l. l. a problem which seldom en-
harnesses the average bridge player.
However, a hand in the final ses-
sion of the national masters con-
tract pair championship placed the
West player in exactly that posi-
ton.
He was obliged to get out of the
lead at the second or third trick,
and although there were several
ways of doing so, each one proved
fatal to the interests of his side.

Lauuh This Off

TLAIMS of supporters of Presi-
~ dent Hoover that there is a
marked trend in his favor in Indi-
ana do not appear to be substantial
ed by reports from over the state.
One feature disproving the opti-
mistic propaganda is what is told
by concessionaire at the state fair,
who engaged in the weighing
racket
No doubt you have noticed this
amusement, whereby the operator
volunteers to guess a persons
weight. If he guesses wrong you get
box of candy.
This year the concessionaire had
boxes prepared with the names of
Hoover and Roosevelt.
He reports that he forfeited 237
boxes of candies during the fair
and of this number 223 asked for
packages bearing the name of
Roosevelt and fourteen asked for
the Hoover boxes-the score was 223
to IA.
The Importance of these figures
may perhaps, be overestimated.
but when you remember that those
attending the fair come from the
agricultural districts as we'll as ur-
pan centers, and when the wide
margin of difference is taken into
account, and allowance is made for
those who took COX Of candy
without noticing the names, the re-
suits are portentious.
Rudolph G. Leeds of Richmond
who edits a mimeographed maya
zine called Resolve, also endeavored
to gauge the Hoover drift.
He polled two of the strongest
Republican sections in Wayne
county.
In 1928 Smith got 1872 and Hoover
SOP votes in the Twenty-eighth pre-
c1nct of Richmond. A sealed en-
velope poll, taken few weeks ago
showed 266 for Roosevelt and 161
for Hoover.
In 1928 Hoover got 70 per cent
of the vote cast this year he is
accorded 37.8 per cent; while Roose-
welt gets 62.2 per cent.

From When He Wrote

Object of a nationwide search
since October 4, Harrison Nc
Kinley Kaiser, still at large, to-
day was indicted by hte District
Grand Jury for the first degree
murder of James F. Morgan, q
Navy Yard foreman, who was
ambushed in front of his home
in the 5000 block Pocelyn st.
N. w. Morgan named Kaiser
as his assailant.
The only trace police have
found of Kaiser since the shoot
ing was a letter sent his wife
from Colorado, Tex, in which he
wrote that as soon as his at
torney settled his affairs here
he was going to Mexico.
Kaiser was not a member OF
the Navy Yard union, and told
other employees prior to the
shooting he would not JOIN as
long as Morgan was financial
secretary. His bitterness toward
Morgan apparently increased
when he lost his job shortly be-
fore the ambushing.
Kennon Turner and Earl Proc"
tor, both colored, also were in:
dicted for first-degree murder.
They are accused of fatally stab
bing Frank Ferry, Portuguese,
during an argument over card
game in the 800 block V st.

colored, who had been held for
the same crime.

ments and reported it had

D. c. RENTS GUT
BY QUIZ, SAYS
SEN. CAPPER
Reductions Total $780, 900
at Least, Perhaps More, :
Probe Group Told

The District rent bill probably
has been reduced during the pres
ent year at least $1,50O,00O, pos
sibly two or three times that
amount, Senator Arthur Capper
(R.) of Kansas, chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, said
at a meeting of the special sub
committee investigating rents to-
day.
After a study of data accumu.
lated during the investigation,
Senator Capper said compiled
partial list of apartment building
rent reduction showed that re-
duced rates varied from $24 a
year for each building to as much
as $33, 900 for single property.
Inquiry Credited
Senator Capper said the reduc-
tions can be largely attributed to
the Senate inquiry. The list
compiled by counsel of the rent
investigation subcommittee shows,
Senator Capper said, that in a
group Of $50 apartment buildings
reductions Of not less than $685.
542 had been made this year.
Senator Capper pointed out
that some Of the reductions have
been as much as 10 per, cent or
more, while other reductions have
been very small, or in other cases
there have been no reduced
rentals and in very few cases
there have been. increases.
Senator Capper said that in the
main rents for apartments have
gone down.
FurlOughs May Continue
The necessity for balancing the
Federal budget may make It neces-
sary to continue the furlough
plan of salary reductions, Senator
Capper said, and added that it
was, therefore, necessary that Dis
trict rents be kept at a reasonable
level. y
He said the subcommittee would
continue to hold hearings and
make recommendations to the
Senate by December is.
