GIANT RACKET
PLOT LINKED TO
CHICAGO VOTE
$10,000,000 Deal Believed
Ringing on Election;
Leaders Held.
ByUnited Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. "a gang di-
rectorate whose plot for a $4,000
600 trucking racket was believed by
police to hinge on the outcome of
Tuesdays election was under police
guard in detective bureau cells to-
day.
The gangsters, whose names
constituted ron or nearly all now
active Of Chicagos famous public
enemy" list, were being held on
open charges, while police sought
evidence to connect them with i'm
portant crimes.
The unaccustomed discomfort of
sleeping in bare jail cells was cased
somewhat for two prisoners, who
rank high in gang circles.

successor to AL Capone, and Will

HUMPHREYS, White, Phil D'Andrea
and frankie Rio, close friends and
bodyguards of Capone, and half a
dozen others, whose names grace
the public enemy list, were seized
in a series Of quiet police raids.
Habeas corpus action TO obtain
their release was stayed temporarily
by William Shoemaker, chief Of
detectives, who hopes to keep the
men locked up at least until after
election day.
The trucking racket, success of
which Shoemaker believed hinged
on the election outcome, was predi-
Gated, he said, on control by the
gang of several outlaw labor unions.
The gangs, he said, planned to
levy an initiation fee of $40 on all
trucks in the city. There would
be dues of 81 a month per truck.
Special fees would be charged deal
ers who wished to use extra trucks
or other favCrs.

THROUGHOUT this series of ar
= ticles on the one over one sys-
tenn, YOU undoubtedly have noticed
that for every suit bid this system
has corresponding bid in no
trump.
In other words, an original bid
Of one no trump shows hand that
should be led up. to, rather than
through.
An original suit bid Of one shows
hand that can become the dummy
If the deal is to be played at no
trump. This assures the correct
hand Of playing the no trump.
We find the same i5 true in the
responding bids. The original bid
der makes suit bid Of one. With
q strong hand and normal support,
partner Is given two choices-he'
may jump to three of the original
suit, forcing the original bidder to
bid either three no trump or four
Of suit, or he may elect to become
the declarer If the hand is to be
played at no trump by jumping to
two no trump.
TN either the original bids or re-
i spending bids, about the same
strength is required, but the bid
ding is so manipulated that the
play of the no trump is thrown
into the proper hand,
In Wednesdays article explained
the original forcing suit bid of two.
Your attention was called to the
fact that this bid is made with the
type of hand that can become the
dummy, especially at a no trump
contract
There is stillanother original fore
ing suit bid in the one over one sys-
tenn, and that is the game demand
suit bid of three.
An original suit bid Of three is
made with hand containing a
long solid trump suit. The hand
should not contain over three los

1t shows hand that wants to be
the declarer and not the dummy. 1t
further shows the type of hand that
has no desire to play the hand at
no trump.
1t assures game, even though
partners hand is trickless.
AS a three bid is made with a
hand containing long, solid
trump suit and generally strong
side suit, the original bidder is
not seeking information as to
whether partners hand contains
any trump strength.
The most important thing he de-
sireS to know is whether partners
hand contains an ace. Therefore,
without an ace, regardless Of the
rest of the strength in the hand,
partner must respond with three
no trump, thereby denying the hold
ing of an ace.

VXTHEN holding an ace, partn

VXTHEN holding an ace, partner
w must respond with that suit,
regardless of its length or strength.
When holding two aces, one Of
which is the ace Of trump, bid four

When holding two aces, neither
of which is the ace of trump, bid the
highest ranking ace.
To illustrate how necessary this
information is, we will take the fol-
lowing hand-Spades A K @ j 10 9
K, Hearts K @ ] 10 8, Diamonds X,
Clubs none. This would be an ideal
three bid.
If partner now were to respond
with three no trump, you would
know that he held no ace and that
the slam could not be made.
If he bid four clubs, even though
he held an ace, you still would know
that the slam was not probable, as
the ace of diamonds and the ace Of
hearts are both out against you.

BARGE LAWRENCE IS
 READY ID TAKE 0N C0AL

The job of caulking the seams of the big barge Lawrence of ChaS. Goodall, of Cordova, has been com pleted by A. II. Thody and Mamie Senft. local contractors. They un- dertook to do the work despite the blazing gale and freezing tenlpera- lures and completed their work Tuesday about noon.
 The barge Lawrence was ready Tuesday evening to be put back into the water but because of the high gale at that time it was thought best not to do so.
 After the barge has been put back into the water, at high tide, it will be lowed over to the Seward dock where some more coal is to be loaded on 1t. When it is ready it is probable that the SS Starr will tow it down to Cordova if the wea- ther conditions are all right.

NEW YORK, Feb. &c. - Letting

have never seen a college wrest-

test, an archery championship, an
attractive fat girl or a six day BIZ

I have never seen a professional

the up and up, the sense in the
baseball throwing event in a wom-
ans track meet, Chinaman eat a
rat, the President play medicine
ball.
I have never seen finals of a

snake charmer at home, two
headed calf, Wilbert Robinson as a
great baseball manager.
hope to see Schmeling knock
Sharkey among the sweet peas
Hack Wilson make comeback, the
Reds get out of the cellar, Leo
Durocher hit a home run, the Phil

hope to see Jim Londos thrown
into seat A, row l, second balcony,
Wisconsin win the Poughkeepsie re-
gatta, Princeton take the Eastern
intercollegiate basketball title, and
a million dollar baby in five and
ten cent store.
I hope to see Nurmi and Venzke
tie up in the Olympic mile, Nurmi
win, the Giants run last in the Ma
tional League, and the Smith
Brothers get shave.
I wouldn't give a last years
calendar to see Primo Camera any

The same thing goes for bowl

I would give hard earned money,
however, to see Schmeling knock
Sharkey among the petunias, Billy

I think hockey would be better

and FIELD
VETS SCARCE AT
CENTRAL UNION

With their greatest annual event
exactly one week away, track anu
field aspirants from almost every
high school in Imperial Valley TO-
day were looking forward with oe-
Termination to their parts IN tne
annual field meet to be held at the
Central Union high school field
next Saturday.
Only a few point winners are
hack this year on the Ell Centre
team, and many newcomers VIII
be seen in action. Ell Centro won
the Glass A meet last year with "a
points, but the winners OF only 10
points remain this year.
Gillett, second place in the 44O;
Bennett, first place in the 0oo;
Templeton, second in the $50, and
Jones, first in the broad jump, are
still on the Central list, and Will
perform next Saturday.
Maiden is showing up we'll IN
the dashes and broad jump, and
should take a few points. King,
newcomer in track, should place
in the mile, as he is using gooo
form. .,
The Glass c team from Central
will be composed entirely OF new
boys this year. Wong, last years
star, moved away the first of the
week. and with him went what
little hope Ell Centro had of VIM
ming the Glass c engagement.
Inclement weather lately has
prevented any hard workouts in
preparation for the coming meet,
but the next week probably will
see every high school field in the
valley active with its quota of track

DEMPSEY PLANS
TO CONTINUE ON
COMEBACK TRAIL
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Jack Demp-
sey was more determined than ever
today to make a success of his
comeback campaign.
Dempsey had no alibi to offer
for his loss of a newspaper de-
cision to King Levinsky, Thursday
night, but it developed yesterday
that he has been suffering from
cold for weeks which settled in
his chest and hampered him in
his Chicago stadium battle.
Dempsey's plans for the future
are:
l. Continue the present tour
until sometime in April
2. Take a months rest.
3. Establish a training camp
about May where he can train un-
interrupted for six weeks or two
months.
4. Fighting leading contender,
probably Primo Camera, Max
Baer or King Levinsky, in tune
up bout in July.
DempSey'S next exhibition ap-
pearance will be at Louisville, Feb
ruary %. He is booked at Dayton,
O., February 90, and tentatively
scheduled for Toronto, March 3.
Although nothing official has
been accomplished, discussion is
under way for a -Levinsky
bout of 10 rounds at Soldier field
or one of the ball parks next
summer.
The official payoff on the four
round, IL minute exhibition, gave
Dempsey $28,90960 as per cent?
and Levinsky $9671.03 G5 per
cent?. The net receipts were
$64, ,457.55.

CITY ENGINEERS REPORT SHOWS
Ell CENTRIC IN GOOD CONDITION

by the current unemployment
problem, the report said, "The city
official is more or less between the
devil and the deep sea. He is
pressed upon the one side to re-
duce labor, payrolls and expenses
in order to reduce taxes during
these hard times, and is bounded
upon the other side for more jobs,
more labor and relief, by destitute
and distressed citizens, so they may
earn enough for the food, clothing
and shelter necessary to get by
during these same hard times"
AS a prelude to the general dis
cusSion of work undertaken by the
city engineering department in con-
nection with unemployment relief,
the report had this to say:
Throughout the nation the un-
employed and destitute are look
ing to their government agencies
for relief. They want not charity,
but the right to earn the means
for a decent existence by doing
their part in the scheme of things.
"The President and the congress
of the United States have acknowl-
edged the governments response
bilities and are doing their utmost
to devise ways and means to bring
relief. The states, through then
governors and legislative bodies, are
adopting special measures to cope
with the situation.
But it is upon the back of the
municipal government and local
charitable organizations that the
burden of relieving and caring for
the citys unemployed is placed,
and there it must largely rest un-
Ill the work of the national and
state governments becomes effec-
tive, or the natural trend of the
cycle brings its inward climb

Previously Ran had been out

What official steps are being
taken in Ell Centro to follow the
recommendation of President Hoov-
erS relief committee that unem-
ployment and distress should be
handled by local organizations and
local government agencies, is told
in that section of the city engi-
neers semi-annual report covering
unemployment.
That there are approximately 400
applications for work in the city
engineers files is one of the state
ments in the report submitted to
the city council by Phil w. Knights,
covering period from July to
December 81, 1881.
Measures for municipal relief,
the report says, "have fallen upon
the engineering department for di-
rection and execution. The engi-
neer has rationed out his available
labor in an effort to bring some
relief to the greatest number. A
ration averages about five days,
or 500. It was first thought that
the city might be able to furnish
one labor ration each month to its
own citizens, who had families or
dependents and were out of work,
but the applications became so nu-
merous that this was impossible"
In addition to its own labor, ac-
cording to the report, the engineer
ing department has succeeded in
placing many applicants in outside
positions, while Mayor H. w. Faw-
cett has secured work for 20 men
with the maintenance crews of the
state highway department. Free
beds to unemployed transients, fur
nished in a corrugated iron build
ing next to the police station on
State street, also are mentioned IN
the report.
All transients or floating labor
ers applying to the engineering de-
partment for work are referred to
the Salvation Army or the Gen.
tral relief committee. In rationing
labor to citizens of Ell Centro, pref
erence has been given those with
the greater number of dependents
and in the most distressing cir
cumstanceS.
Work Advanced
Some labor normally performed
during the second half of the fiscal
year, according to Knights report,
was advanced to the first half in
order to provide labor at a time
when it was most needed. Activi-
ties in the lettuce and other crops
during the second half of the fiscal
year are expected to absorb con-
siderable labor, if the influx of out
side labor can be prevented mate
