Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS.

from accepting q slam try IN no trumps
If the opening bidder makes jump
rebid, and your hand has the primary
and other requirements for accepting
a slam try without a five-card suit hav-
ing been shown. Do not let single
ton deter you from inviting a slam If
your hand calls for 1t under the same
kind Of high-card appraisal.
Revalue q Singleton In . Suit Slam
Try.
The only time to become excited
about a singleton ace Is when your
partner is developing a slam try In
terms Of a suit in which you have
made a takeout. Assured of four
trumpS in partners hand. singleton
ace, or to a somewhat less extent
singleton king, will afford you great
elasticity of play. Having ascertained
that you control the timing factor, so
that the enemy will not be able to cash
in tricks before you can assume the
lead and take some discards, bid toward
your slam optimistically when your
partner has invited big things without
knowing Of your high singleton.
Where 4-4-4-1 Differs From 4-4-3-2.

New York, March 10-(UP)- Fear of public disgrace" or threatened fine or Imprisonment drove hundreds of gold hoarders to the windows of the Federal Re- serve bank to-day, to turn in metal in sums ranging from $5 to $700,000.
 In four days the New York dis- trict bank. has received $66,000,- 900, of which $30,000,000 was re- turnedw in the past 24 hours.
 In the lines of gold depositors were badly frightened citizens who were afraid the $10 gold pieces they received for Christmas would count against them. Some were amateur hoarders'' who recently were frightened into demanding $50 to $1O0 worth of gold during the day of suspense before the bank holiday. And others were representatives of concerns which had covertly or openly sought to "deap' in gold and profit from the situation.
 Federal reserve officials empha- sized that it was not necessary for these conscious or unWitting hoarders to go to the central bank with their holdings. They advised taking the gold to their regular banks, receiving deposit slips in new accounts, as provided by treas- ury department rulings.
 Each customer at the Federal Reserve bank was given a deposit slip, which he filled out with his name and address. The deposit slips were filed 50 that clerks could strike the hoarder's name from the list of those who have withdrawn gold in the past two years and who failed to return it

which led Governor Lehman to de- clare bank holiday for New York the action which definitely forced the national bank holiday attracted wide attention. f.
 It showed that in the last two days before the New York holiday was declared, currency in circula4 tion in the country at large had in- creased $818,000,000 compared to an increase of $732,00O, ,00O for. the entire week ended March 1. It was in itself a record up to that time.
 The total in circulation rose to $7,538.000,000. an all-time record.
 Gold holdings of the Federal Reserve decreased $2O8,544,O ,O00, since only $1O1, 100000 was ear- marked for foreign account or ex- port, this meant that $107,544, ,000 had been withdrawn for hoarding..

Stock Exchange Has Begun Plans For
 Market Reopening
Within Few Days the Orders Are Expected to Go Out
 Demand Record on Gold Payments

It was learned officials of the ex- change felt the market should open as soon as banks return to normal business, although it was believed days delay might be necessary to. give members ample opportun- ity to prepare for business re- sumption.
 Many traders who left the city when the bank holiday was de- clared were returning today as the bank situation cleared. They an- ticipated a lively time when stock and bond trading was permitted. s There was no change in the rou- tine of stock exchange employees or that of member firms. The latter remained cpen to accept orders and keep their clients informed on changes in the bank situation. Stock exchange tickers were man. ned as on previous days to carry notices drawn up by the committee of 2 selected from the governing committee.
 Meanwhile gold continued to come out of hiding at an acceferat- ed rate. The interest of the ex- change in this item was set forth, in a notice to members to prepare

 Gold Payments es New, York. March 10-UP)- The special committee of the New York Stock exchange which yes terday demanded a statement from members concerning gold payments from March 1 to March 13, to-day amended their ruling to make the date February i to March 13. @
 The statement said:
 Members shall immediately prepare a record of all payments, withdrawals and redeposits in gold or gold certificates made by them Hor through their. firm. between Feb ruary 1 and March 13, 1893, inclu- sive. Members shall also prepare a separate record showing all such payments, withdrawals and re- deposits, of Z which they have knowledge, atmades by them or through their firms between Feb ruary 1, 1883 and March 13, 1883. inclusive.

 5. All payments of gold and gold certificates are forbidden un. til otherwise ordered.
 6. Banks were forbidden to pay out any money for~hoarding.
 z. No transactions in foreign exchange may be made except for legitimate and normal business re- quirements, for reasonable travel ing and other personal require- ments and for fulfillment of con. tracts entered into prior to March 6.
 8. The treasury stated banks would receive consideration in re- opening without regard to size or geographical location.
 Secretary of Treasury Woodin said it was only a matter of a few days at the most when the coun- try's banking machinery would be in full swing again. A large num- Der of banks should be open Mon- day, it was agreed.
 "The matter must not be rushed" Woodin said, because we must insure that there are no mis-
 
 must be capable of remaining open."
 He said the physical difficulty of getting new currency to the banks so that payouts could be made without delay was another factor.
 Because of the great confusion in obtaining accurate information out of the treasury department during the last few hectic days, Charles Michaelson, director of publicity for. the democratic na- tional committee. was designated to function as a publicity aide to Woodin. He said he would serve only temporarily. until the crisis passes. The treasury said that any pen- alty which may be levied against gold hoarderE must be determined | by the attorney general.

New York, March 1O-(UP)- Disappointment over extension of the bank holiday was tempered in New York to-day by definite as- surance that the city's big banks were prepared to open for unre- stricted business as soon as the treasury and Governor Herbert Lehman gave the word.
 The clog of checks written since the bank holiday began had been largely cleared away after a day of normal functioning by the clearing house, and New York banks had been prepared to start business as usual if passage of the Emergency Bank bill by Congress yesterday enabled the treasury to give the word.
 Since Washington decided to withhold permission for unrestrict- ed opening of any banks until 1t was able to make more headway in its canvass to determine which of the nations 19,000 banks were sound enough to be permitted to do general business, the banks here contented themselves to-day with the same limited operations permitted them before.
 They cashed payroll checks, with limitations on amounts Of cash to any individual firm. They accept ed deposits. They made change. They gave money to depositors who attested that 1t was needed for food, medicine, or other essen- tials. .*.
 Savings banks, some of which opened yesterday, were generally open to-day but withdrawals at most of the institutions were lim- tied to $10 for each account, no matter how large it might be.
 Governor Lehman extended the state banking holiday to coincide with the national extension by President Roosevelt.
 The Stock Exchange and other securities and commodities mar kets remained closed.
 A sharp increase in purchases was reported by department stores, groceries and merchandisers gen. orally, apparently reflectings pub- lie belief that issuance of billions in new currency would lead to ris- ing prices. Commodity prices, however, were generally un- changed as confidence that the banks would soon reopen halted advances which had been caused by credit restrictions rather than by prospects of imitation.
 Gold continued to flow into the coffers of the Federal Reserve Bank, with $65.0o0.000 turned in by the close of business yesterday. Of this, more than half came from Individual hoarders and the rest from banks whose normal old stocks had been called in by the Federal Reserve board. Returns of gold by individuals ranged from $2.50 gold pieces to thousands of dollars in coins and bars. One bank reported . customer had in- quired how he could turn in ~$700.- 900 worth of the precious metal.

TO REORCANIZE
 THAT FEDERAL
 RESERVE BOARD
Eugene Meyer to Be Dis- placed as Governor - Adolph C. Miller of Cali- fOrnia to Succeed Him
By VIRGIL PINKLEY

Washington, gMarcn lU. (UPt- President Roosevelt plans a thor ough reorganization of the Federal Reserve board as part of his pro- gram to put the nations banking system on a sounder basis, the United Press learned to-day from sources close to the White House.
 The realignment would include the probable displacement of Eugene Meyer as governor of the board, 1t was reported.
 The powerful board directs oper- ations of reserve banks with assets exceeding $7,000,O00,0O0 and more than 5000 member banks. Changes in it's personnel at this time would be highly important as the board will guide the controlled currency expansion authorized under the new banking act.
 Adolph c. Miller of California, a member of the board since it's crea- ton under the Wilson administra- ton, is. reported to be MT Roose- velt's likely choice to succeed Meyer.
 It is also understood that Gilbert N. Hitchcock, former democratic senator from Nebraska and pub- fisher of the Omaha World Herald, has been offered post as member of the board.
 Miller long has been a close friend of the president. His selec- tion as governor probably would lessen greatly the control exerted over the reserve system and trea- sury by the New York and Boston reserve banks.
 Interior reserve banks, especially Chicago, have long resented domin- ation by these centers. The resent ment fiared openly when Melvin Traylor, Chicago banker and mern- ber of the federal reserve advisory board, left here in a huff Wednes- day after talking with reserve board officials and visiting New York reserve officials. M s The federal reserve board vir- tually' dictates policies or reserve banks and has broad authority over member institutions. It has power to limit to a degree stock market transactions of member banks and the establishment and operation of affiliates.
 F Much of the presidents plan to end the nations monetary and banking crisis and avert similar situations in the future hinges around the reserve system, whose operations are directed and con. trolled by the reserve board.
