 :" ." EXPERTS PLAY IT 4

South overcalled dummy with two diamonds. West had a single- ton of one suit bid by the opponents and a doubleton of the other. also two five-card suits. More particu- larly, he had five of a major suit.
 While he had no tricks, he was Justified in making an overcall of two spades as it was a construc- tive bid and the distribution justi- fled it. North bid three diamonds and East bid three spades. South passed and West went to Y. four spades.
 North and East passed and flee and bid five diamonds. North and West passed and East bid five spades. South and West passed and North went to six diamonds, which East promptly doubled.
 The Play
 Vests opening play was a spade, which declarer reuffed in dummy with the six of diamonds. The ace and a small heart were returned. dec1arer ruffing the second heart with the four of diamonds.
 Declarer next led his ace of clubs and when the queen dropped from East, he led the seven of clubs and finessed the eight.
 If East had trumped this card there would have been no way of stopping South from making six odd, as he could then pick up the trump, ruff heart and still have a club with which to take the club finesse.
 The real defensive play that was made was that East refused to ruff the club but discarded small spade. Declarer entered his hand by ruffing another heart; but now when he led the six of clubs and finessed the ten, East ruffed with the deuce of diamonds.
 East then led a spade which the declarer trumped in dummy with the jack of diamonds.
 The king of diamonds was led from dummy; but when declarer led dummy's king of clubs on which to discard his losing spade East ruffed with the queen of dia- monds, forcing the declarer tc over-ruff with the ace of dia- monds. The declarer then had g losing spade.
 Refusing to ruff the first clut and waiting for the second club lead before ruffing is without a doubt the prettiest defensive play I have seen this year. Copyright 1933,NEA Service. Incl

You can talk about your squeeze plays, end plays and grand coups, but I still believe the most thrill ling play in bridge is finely exc cuted defensive play, and here is one that came up in & recent tour nament.
 Again we find the declarer play ing a small slam contract for what he thought to be sacrifice, and it took very fine defensive play to stop him from making his contract.
 Generally, if the declarer leads a card of a suit of which you have none, and you have trump. it pays to ruff, but in this hand you must refrain from doing that on the first round.

VIC. CRIFFITHS . FALLS TO DEATH IN MINE SHAFT
Young Man Is Accidently Killed Last Evening
 No Witnesses

Victor Griffiths, 26, fell to his death in a shaft at the Alaska Juneau mine last night from a bulldoze chamber where he was working Nobody saw how the &C., cident occurred, but workmen nearby heard his cries as he fell and gave the alarm. He was dead when rescuers reached him at the foot of the shaft.
 It was not known what caused Giffiths to fall, but large boul- der showing signs of having been hammered upon was lying on the grizzly from which he fell, and a hammer was lying across the bars of the grizzly, indicating that he had been in the act of loosen ing the boulder at the time.
 Griffiths was well known in Ju- neau, having been here since June, 1882, and having appeared in a boxing bout at smoker last winter.
 He was born in Wales, and is survived by his mother, Mrs. Eli

serve the Territory and the Nation better by bringing in new pro- ducing mines which will add to the permanent industrial popula- ton of Alaska and be more bene- ficial than a temporary addition to the forces at existing mines" he said
 The only prospect on which the company is now doing exploratory work is in the upper Taku River district where the outlook is prom ising, he added. This work has been suspended for the winter, but will be resumed as soon as field conditions permit.
 Would Adopt Code
 He left no doubt about the com- pany's position on NRA. Com menting on the reported plan to be adopted for Alaska, he said:
 If the MIRA is brought to AL aska and a mining code is ap- proved, the Alaska Juneau Will adopt its provisions gracefully and abide by them cordially. However, it must come in an orderly man. her and from the proper authority"
 No change, he said in conclusion, is contemplated in Alaska Juneau operations. It will not seek to increase it's output on account of the increased price of gold Its will not be speeded up and there will be no difference in the method of handling the mine.
 He said, however, in response to a question, that it is probable that the new gold price will make avail able some ore in the mine that could not have been mined profit ably under the old $20.67 price.

Matthews, he said, was not ar rested until later in the day. John son, he said, although saying Mat thews was present, declared Mat thews wasn't in on this"
 Closes Up Rapidly
 The Government gathered up the loose ends of it's case this morning. Ex-Chief of Police G. A. Getchell testified that Matthews had told him he was present in Johnson's room all the time Mrs. Lawrence was there up to the time of her death.
 Deputy Marshal Thomas New combe said Johnson had told him at the scene, he had slapped Mrs. Lawrence in the face. Walter B. King, former Asst, United States

Attorney who conducted the off, cial investigation for that office, testified to conversations with both Johnson and Matthews in which both had asserted Matthews was present all of the time.
 Matthews, he said had told him he sat on the foot of the bed and Johnson on trunk Mrs. Lawrence reclined on the bed with one hand under her head and both feet hanging over the edge of the bed; the two men talked for 10 or Is minutes then discovered she was dead; Johnson sent him down then to telephone for a doctor.
 Woman Hears Scream
 Mary Hightower, residing in an adjoining house to the cafe and in a room on the first floor almost below Johnsons room, said she heard a woman's scream about 1::30 o'clock in the morning of February IA.
 She didn't know from where it came but thought it came from the rear of the City Cafe.
 Charles w. Garter, undertaken, who prepared the woman's body for burial, said she was 4 feet, 1Oh inches tall and weighed about 118 pounds.
 Due to the fact that the Govern ment completed it's case sooner than expected, witnesses for the de- fense were not present. Judge AL exander halted the trial at II o'clock to give counsel an oppor- tunity to be ready for continuance at 2 D. m.

Unless Fishery Laws Are ] Changed to Suit Them,
 They Prefer Canada

If Congress will not give then what they consider fair fisher! laws" then the Indians of South. east Alaska stand for giving Southeast Alaska to Canada. Thi; is the declaration of a resolution adopted this week by the Alaska Native Brotherhood in it's annual convention here.
 It was introduced by Louis F. Paul. a former Grand President, and one of the organizations lead CTS. The Canadian system of fish cry administration, it declared is satisfactory.
 Direct Action Talk
 In presenting the resolution, MT. Paul declared: We have used all methods to secure better condi- tions except one You talk direct action. But I say let us try the more peaceful method.
 You know conditions here, how bad they are. You know the con- ditions in Canada. And so l pre- sent the following resolution"
 Text of Resolution
 The text of that unique docu- ment follows:
 Whereas, for the past twenty years. the Natives of Southeastern Alaska. have used every lawful means to get the Federal govern ment of the United States to pass fair and reasonable fishery laws, and
 whereas, during all this time, these natives have remained loyal citizens with a firm faith in the justice and fairness of our govern ment and in orderly government, and
 whereas, during all these times, the officials of the United States have not made one single move either to give these natives a far hearing nor has the said govern ment changed a single fish regula- tion to make the burden of these natives lighter, and
 wishing to call stronger atten- ton to the virtual starvation with which these natives are faced, we, the representatives Of these said natives, pray the Congress of the United States either to give these natives fair fishery laws so that they can earn their own living or else
 Give It To Canada
 That the said government of the United States transfer the so- called Panhandle of Alaska to the Canadian government with whose fishery laws we are familiar and with which we are satisfied and which government seems to be conducted, at least on the ques- tion of fisheries, with purpose to benefit it's own citizens and resi- dents, instead of the immense for eign corporations which now rule and virtually own the Panhandle of Alaska.
 "In other words, we, the Ma tives of Alaska would rather be ruled by the Canadian government than by the brutal and heartless cannery corporations which now actually exercise the power of life and death over us, our wives and children, and we maintain that Congress has no right to neglect means for our relief or this peI.- tion"
