clarer must hold a sure game in
his own hand.
There are two original forcing
bids in this systematic original
two bid and the original three bid
They differ in this respect-an orig

your assistance in selecting the
proper declaration for this hand"
Always remember that, to make
an original two or three bid, it is
necessary to have an absolute game
in your own hand.
Here is one of the hands dealt in
the recent eastern Pennsylvania
tournament at Reading. South was
the dealer and had the right to
figure on no more than three los
ing cards if the hand is played at
hearts. Therefore, ne is justified
in making an original bid of two
hearts.
After North's two spade bid,
South should show his second suit
as he did, naming three clubs.
North supported clubs and South
bid five hearts, thus telling partner
that he wished to play the hand

Shoots Self After Father
Urges Surrender.

Advised by his father to return
to the Indiana reformatory from
which he escaped last July, Ralph
Henry, "a, of 1887 Kenwood avenue,
shot himself to death last night.
Henry appeared in the alley at
the rear of his fathers home last
night and met a brother, who called
the father. When the father ad-
vised surrender, Henry said: Ill
end it all in ten minutes"
When the father and brother re-
turned to the house, Henry shot
himself with an automatic pistol,
later reported to have been stolen
from the car Of o. w. Shaw, lis
West TWenty-third street, Oct. 81.
Henry had been serving a second
degree burglary term.

Another heart is led, but this
time it must be ruffed in dummy
with the queen of clubs. The nine
of clubs then is led, and when East
refuses to cover, declarer plays low.
Declarer then leads a diamond
from dummy, rufus in his own hand
with the seven of clubs, picks up
East's two trump, and all the
hearts are good.
At the end, all South has to grant
is his losing spade trick.

STAR BARITONE
GIVES BRILLIANT
CONCERT HERE
John Charles Thomas is
High Spot of All Mar
tens Offerings.
BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

The tremendous ovation given
John Charles Thomas, baritone Of
the Metropolitan Opera. yesterday
afternoon at English's, indicates
that Mrs. Nancy Martens presented
the most satisfactory artist Of song
of her career.
There were so many encores that
the audience lost track of them. Mr..
Thomas sang until his encores
nearly matched his stated program
in length.
In addition TO his wonderful
vSice. it is Thomas human side
which made the concert such a sue
cess. When he sang Requiem du
Occur" EIr. Thomas stated that he
deliberately placed the number on
the program because it gave him
chance to satisfy his passion to
make speech.
He discussed the gentleman" in
the song who took out his own
heart. buried it and was the only
mourner present. The gentleman"
then turned to drink.
Every experience Of the gentle
man" was expertly brought out by
Mr.. Thomas. The number was con-
vincing proof that he is a splendid
actor as well as a highly gifted
singer.
Does Delicious Comedy
In announcing The Wedding Of
Miss Duck" he said that the song
came from Carolina and in spite OF
that he would sing the number. 1t
was delicious comedy, done in a
spirited manner.
There were to gems in the first
group, Der Sandtrager" and Der
Ton" His German is as easily I'M
derstOod as his English. He is one
singer who does not garble his Eng
lish, his German, or his French.
Every word is so placed in the
structure of his delivery that they
are understood easily.
Another amazing revelation was
the way Mr.. Thomas sang a Negro
spiritual steal Away To Jesus"
Here was not only great beauty of
voice but tremendous feeling. He
followed this number with a Negro
comedy dialect song which reached
new comedy heights.
Pianist Is Splendid
He was delightful while singing
1.-THE Bonnie Earl OMoray, but his
great gift for song was overwhelm-
ingly revealed in the aria "Eri tn"
from I'm Ballo in MaSchera."
Mr.. Carroll HOLSTER, accompanist,
is an ideal pianist for Mr.. Thomas.
Their team work is excellent. Mr..
CAROLS high spot in his solo group
was The Sunken Cathedral"
1t was a marvellous concert and it
was enjoyed by an audience which
filled practically every seat in the
theater.

It a slam. but again needed his
partners assistance in selecting
the proper declaration. Therefore,
when North bid six clubs-and no
more-South passed and did not
try to force the hand.
West opened the king of dia-
monds. which South, declarer, won
with the ace. Before leading any
trump. the declarer should ruff

eieht Of clubs is returned, declarer
playing the ace, and West shows

deny, however, that they intend to
occupy Peiping and Tientsin. Their

aminations and twill not abandon
that high ground" so he gives out
this message:
"No incumbent whose term has
not yet expired and who has been
rendering loyal and effective serv-
ice to the government need have
the slightest fear of removal. It
will be the policy of the Post Office
department to allow every efficient
post master to fill out his term"
District attorneys, marshals and
collectors are not under civil serv-
ice and in time these places prob
ably will be filed with deserving
Democrats. Also there are hun
dreds of vacancies in the postmas-
terships to be filed Immediately,
and these will be filled as soon as
Mr.. Farley's department has COM
pleted a study of examination
methods.
The postmaster general makes
the welcome assertion that the
United States post Office Is going
to pay its way hereafter. He aims
to save $72,0O0,0O0 in the coming
fiscal year, and this, he believes,
will suffice to balance his budget.
TAPAN'S armies In China contin-
y ued their advance south Of the
great wall, driving before them dis
organized or traitorous Chinese
troops. The Japanese at latest re-
ports had occupied the entire tri-
angle between the wall and the
Ivan river, with its base on the
gulf Of Pohai, and were moving
onward toward Tientsin. They
crossed the river near Lwanchow
and bombarded that city and the
surrounding region. There was
great alarm in Tientsin, where
some 400 Americans, mostly bust
ness men and their families reside.
When the Japanese started their
push into the undisputed Chinese
territory south of the great wall
the Ivan river was set as the linn

ask congress for authority to put
into action his policy of controlled
imitation" Mr.. Roosevelt himself
calls this policy a program for con-
troll of commodity price levels, and
saws It is designed to raise prices
but to keep them from going too
far up. He gave assurance that
there would be no resort to printing
press money" +.
Secretary Woodin drew up the or
der concerning gold expectation. Un-
der it no gold is allowed to leave
the country except that earmarked
for foreign account before April 10
and such amounts as are required to
save American business men from
loss on consignments in foreign
trade incurred prior to the proclama-
ton of the new policy.
The United States thus has placed
itself on the same footing as Great
Britain and many other foreign ma
tions. Its money is unstable in value
In international trade. 1t was point
ed out that Mr.. Roosevelt could now
with greater propriety propose that
all nations go back to the gold stand
ard together.
Effects of our plunge into the in
fation pool were immediate. Prices
on the stock exchanges and espe-
cially in the commodity markets
went up with a rush and trading
was heavier than for many months.
Millions of dollars were added to
the farm value Of all grains, and
cotton and sugar also moved up
ward, as did provisions. The rise
In the price of silver was spectacular.
This was the first reaction of the
markets to the imitation announce
ment. Many traders expected a Sc
we're slump to follow.
On the London and Paris ex-
changes the dollar sank decidedly.
Neither the British nor the French
were pleased with the Presidents
action. The London Daily Tele-
graph said: Following Americas
latest action a demand will arise in
every country for fresh depreciation
so that exporters may not lose their
power of competition in world mar
kets. The new task Of the states
men is to prevent a chaotic process
of competitive depreciation Of cur
rencies."
Senator's Byrnes, Pittman and
Thomas drafted the imitation bill to
be offered by the administration. A
modification of Thomas previous
measure, it gives the President au-
thority to issue greenbacks, to re-
value the dollar, and to accept pay
ments on the war debts in silver at
value of 90 cents an ounce.

DEMOCRATIC leaders Of the
~ house are concerned over the
delays In carrying out the admins
tration's plans, these delays being
especially notable in committees
and one Of the most annoying being
in the handling of banking legisla-
ton. Not long ago Speaker Rainey
and Floor Leader Byrns thought
congress could adjourn by May ID or
at latest June 15.. Now both are pre-
dieting that the session will not
end before August 1 if present tao
tics are not abandoned. Evident
ly they were of the opinion that
it would be necessary to force some
bills out Of committee by suspend
ing the rules.
D IGHT now the eyes of the world
IN are turned on Washington, for
the series of talks between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and representatives
of many other nations have begun,
and If the hopes Of the Chief Ex-
ecutive are realized they will result
in the finding Of a way out of the
world depression.
Prime Minister J. Ramsay Mac
Donald was the first of the visitors
to arrive and the first to confer
with Mr.. Roosevelt and Secretary
of State Hull. Edouard Herriot,
former premier Of France, was
close on MacDonald's heels, and
the others are scheduled to follow
rapidly. No one Of the converse
tionalists'' is empowered to really
decide anything, but all of them
are free to express the views Of
their respective governments on
economic matters. 1t was under
stood that Macdonald would not
talk much about the war debts, but
Herriot was authorized to state
Frances position on that subject.
The whole series of conversations
in Washington is preliminary to
the coming world economic confer
ence, and the hope Of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull Is
that the way can be paved for re-
Mobilization of the world by the
lowering Of trade barriers and
monetary sterilization. They will
gladly abandon Americas tradition

lions are willing to cooperate and

such step unless the administra-
ton got busy very speedily. For a
time Mr.. Hull seemed averse to any
interference, but Mr.. Roosevelt
started things by calling the Cuban
ambassador, Don Oscar B. Cintas,
to the White House for a discus
sion Of the situation. The ambassa-
dor also conferred with Sumner
Welles, assistant secretary Of state,
and then Mr.. Welles went to the
White House for instructions.
Mr.. Roosevelt has no desire to
order military intervention in the
affairs Of Cuba, which he could do
under the Plat amendment, holding
that this would cost us a lot Of
money and besides would enrage
President Machado and create an
unpleasant diplomatic situation.
Therefore his present plan is to
take steps to redeem the islands
financial situation, which is
wretched, and to relieve the unem-
ployment and discomfort that are at
the bottom of Cuba's difficulties.
He and the State department wish
to increase the sugar imports from
Cuba by granting substantial reduc-
tions to the island on the sugar
tariff. This, naturally, will not
please the domestic cane and beet
sugar industries.
There is genuine fear among
some officials in washington that
opponents Of President Machado
will, in their efforts to overthrow
his regime, perpetrate some outrage
against American interests in Cuba,
thus raising situation in which
the United States might be com.
PEELED to intervene.
NTOSCOW'S famous trial Of six
lV1 British engineers and eleven
Russians on charges Of espionage,

conviction Of five of the Britons
and ten Of the Russians. L. @.

years in prison; w. 81. Macdonald,
who pleaded guilty, to two years;

Of the penalties inflicted.

had been watching the case with
