Roosevelt we're aggressive. They
went into the meeting determined

They favored Kansas City. San

remote location.
Roosevelt forces also exerted their

the unexpired term of the late
Charles Greathouse of Indianapolis

Smith Advocates Relief
Though fsctional rivalry behind
the various candidates is keen.
Democrats, seeing the coveted prize
dangling more closely than at any
time since 1916. are making heroic
efforts to subdue their party tenn

hopes were given new momentum
by the oratory at the Jackson day
dinner Friday night
The party was challenged by its
popular idol Alfred E. Smith, to
drop party lines entirely in dealing
with the depression in wartime
patriotic spirit and to support a fed
eral bond issue for unemployment

He assailed prohibition briefly as
a costly, hopeless effort, and de-

CULBERTSON is
BRIDGE VICTOR
WHAT Of IT?
LEM Down $3.50 Points;
Broun Issues Poker
Challenge.
BY III. ALLEN SMITH
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-To bridge
players in Indiana, or California,
from coast to coast, let it be known
finally that Ely CulbertSon won
from Sydney LEM.
Culbertson, playing Friday night
with his wife as partner, ended the
far-famed Culbertson-Lenz contract
bridge match $3.50 points ahead.
That, good people, is the end of the
battle of the century.
Said Culbertson:
MY system is unSurpa sSed."
Said Lenz:
II defy anybody to look at the
cards and see how they have been
going and to say that the system
employed by Ely CuTbertson has
proved superior to the new official
system"
BrOun Waves Red Flag
That was about all that was said
when this epochal contest came to
a close, after a solid month.
AS soon as the MesSrS. Culbertson
and LEM dropped their last cards
on the table, tremendous lot of
people started gathering around to
find how many aces, kings, honor
tricks, sets, doubles, redoubles,
psychic bids, honest bids and games
were made.
Haywood Broun for instance, says
to Ely Culbertson, he says:
Il got an idea. I challenge you
to produce a team that will beat
my team at game of duplicate
poker. Duplicate poker never has
been played before, but I sat at
home today and figured it out"
S. r. o. Sign Out
Now! Let's get down to this final
session. Nothing since King Tut
Ank-Amen was laid away, ever
could equal what happened.
Lewis Copeland, publisher, who
says he gave Julius his
start in life with his blue books, was
in charge of the gate and he enter
tanned more people than attended
the Democratic national convention
in 1924.
The statistical hounds counted
up the aces, the kings, the honor
tricks and the houses cut.
But they didn't figure one thing,
what the bridge match meant.
Your correspondent gives you the
important facts in the following
paragraph:
Reorganization
So far as" bidding systems are
cOncerned-notlling
So far as bridge playing is con-
Standardization.
So far as gentlemanliness is con-
cerned-Lenz.
So far as genius is concerned
Ely Culbertson.
So far as fun is commemorative
press.
But to sum it all up honestly, Ely
Culbertson-who thought of it, who
put it over, who saw that it got
over, is a great Snowman, maybe
greater than the late P. T. Barnum.
He promoted this bridge match,
simply by fostering one of the most
conservative men in bridge circles.
He annoyed Sidney Lenz so persist
emily that his. challenge could not
be overlooked.
They played-and they played for
month and M came out last night
that Culbertscm was $3.50 points
ahead.
So that the big bridge match that
you have been reading all about, had
they been playing for tenth of a
cent point, would have cost Sid
ney Lenz $500. Terrific, isn't it?

CARE OF ADVANCED T. B.
WARDS AT HOME URGED
Health Board Would Have to Raise
$4,000 to Carry Out Plan.

Recommendation that INDECENT
advanced tuberculosis patients cared
for at home was being studied by
the city health board today.
To adopt the plan submitted by
DR.. Herman G. Morgan, board Sec
rotary, and DR.. Charles w. Myers,
city hospital superintendent, the
board must raise S5,000
This plan was suggested because
Sunnyside sanatorium always has a
waiting list, the county inf1rmary is
crowded not properly equipped, and
the Flower Mission hospital was
condemned two years ago by the
state fire marshal.
The board recently was forced to
decline offer of the Flower Mission
Society of 100000 to build a tuber-
culosis hospital on city hospital
grounds because Of lack of mainte-
nance funds.

Explosives, Left
In Door of Safe by
Yeggs, Cause Panic
Police Guard Strong Box
to Prevent Any One
From Opening 1t.

Of1cials of the Bramhall Food Prod
lcts. Inc. 28oO Tenth street northeast,
did not dare open their safe today, al.
though it could be opened with speed
hitherto unknown to them. In fact,
they were afraid it might be opened at
any moment.
This unusual state Of affairs was
BROUGHT about when burglars failed to
complete q job last night and lett
quantity of high explosives IN holes
drilled In the door of the safe.
So today the company ofhclals want
to know how to get the explosives out.
Meanwhile, police stood guard around
the safe while employees kept tneir ols-
lance and tiptoed carefully. Walter r.
Bramhall, general manager OF the cor,
poration, was in a quandary ana
thought an expert would have to De
called to work out solution.
The burglars were believed 1r1gnt-
ened of late last night when Mr..
Bramhall stopped at the office a mo-
ment. As he entered he noticed rug
slightly burned and then found the
dial on the safe had been damaged.
He Immediately notified police. The
latter discovered csc charge had been
set of and apparently. the first being
unsuccessful, the yeggs had prepared
another. It was believed they hid in
the building until Mr.. Bramhal left
and made their getaway Immediately
afterward. thinking hs had gone to

building, two from the front and two
from the rear.
The blaze started in the midst of
several clothing racks, apparently

When the first engine company ar
rived at the store, fisemen pulled the
box again, summoning all downtown

the block.
Unable to get to the blaze from the
