The shooting occurred shortly af-
ter Alexander landed from Jugo-
slav warship. His mission was con-
sidered so important that the har-
Dor was filled with French war;
ships with the greatest of pornp on
all sides. The minister of marine.
Francois Peitri went out on a
cruiser to meet him, with airplanes
soaring overhead.
Barthou waited ashore. The
streets were lined with troops and
bands played military marches. The
king was heavily guarded on all
sides by secret police as he walked
to the automobile.
The procession had hardly start
ed when the tragedy occurred.
The shots came so rapidly that
only by quick action did cavalry
guard reach him and bring his sa-
ber down in a slashing blow on the
gunman's head before the last
bullets had been fired
The crowd, in great excitement
and anger crushed the guards and
the assassin against the royal car.
Scores were trampled, including the
assassin who fell under the guards
attack.
Nearly every nation in Europe
was involved directly or indirectly
in the kings visit Frances dip
lomatic supremacy was believed to
be at stake, and with it, the French
effort to form a precautionary en-
circlement Of Germany.
Soon after Alexander'S visit
here, Barthou was due to have
gone to Rome to confer with Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini MuSsolini
announced on Saturday that po-
litical and military accord was
about to be signed with France.
So closely are the two events
linked that it requires no official
announcement to reveal that France
is attempting to iron out the fur
rows in Italian Jugo-slav relations
before they assume the depth OF
trenches.
Barthou, the foreign minister.
suffering mortal wounds in the
stomach and with his arm broken
by a bullet, struggled toward the
aSSailant.
In vain, Barthou sought TO shield
the king with his own body ana.
possibly as a result OF this effort,
moved directly into the line OF
fire and was killed.
King Alexander, whose nation
was created out of the postwar re-
alignment in Europe, was known as
a firm-handed ruler who resorted
to dictatorial methods when diyis-
ions within his own nation threat
ened to break up the kingdom.
A tall, scholarly appearing man,
the king encountered grave diff
culties in the nation Of Creates.
Serbs and Slavs few years ago.
JealousieS and political pickering
led to disturbances which severely
handicapped his regime.
AS a result. the king proclaimed
a new constitution and took over
power under dictatorial methods
by which he sought to quench the
internal disputes and end chaos.
He inherited from his Slayish par.
ents rockey throne and definite
inclination for army work. He used
the latter many times TO retain his
kIngship
He was the only European mon
arch OF modern times who led hts
own army into three wars--the two
Balkan conflicts and the World war.
AS commander Of the first army
corps in 1912. he played an import.

suit Of the town councils vote that
1t be moved, have signed a petit
tion requesting that the camp be
allowed to remain if it Is not a

PARTY CHIEFS

Of Federal troops either in that
State or in any Of the others in
which the strike is holding sway,
But as long as the strike con-
tinueS there will exist the ire
mendous political danger Of hav'
ing to call out Federal troops and
set them with fixed bayonetS fac
ing the people.
Such a situation from the polit-
ical angle would mean one of two
things. It would mean either that
the President would be hailed as
the saviour Of the country from
a communist uprising" as the
governor Of Rhode Island put it,
or it would mean that the Presi-
dent would be subjected to abuse
for calling out the troops to battle
defenSeleSS citizens.
No one can tell in advance just
which Of these alternatives would
result.
Calvin Coolidge, as a more or
less obscure governor Of MasSa-
chusettS. called out State troops
in the police strike in Boston. AS
a reward he became Vice Presi'
dent and later President.
Hoover Reused Public
Herbert Hoover called out Fed
eral troops to drive the bonus
marchers from Washington an
aroused, by that action, a terrible
hate which contributed heavily to
the defeat Of his aspirations for
reelection.
What would happen to Presi-
dent Roosevelt if he were to send
the United States Army into
Rhode Island or one Of the other
States in which rioting is mark
ing the progress Of the. textile
strike?
It is the impossibility of judging
the effects of the move that has
the politicians on edge.
It would be difficult, it is ad.
mitted, to reconcile the use of
armed force to subdue the citizens
with the claims of the New Deal
erS that they are bringing to the
people more abundant life. It
would be difficult, if not impos,
Sible, to show to the people that
the ideals Of the brain trust are
compatible with the shooting
down of citizens.
Gamble Too Great
The gamble is too great for the
politicians to view with equa.
rimity.
They don't like the situation
and they don't like the possibill.
ties to which the President may
be pushed if the strike continues
and the disturbances spread.
Consequently it may be ex'
pected that within the next day
or two spectacular steps will be
taken to bring about a meeting
of the minds of the strikers and
their employers. And the steps
will be accompanied by all the
force and all the strategic ma
neuvering which the Presidents
political advisers can command.

FALL ACCIDENT 7
DANCER CITED

With the tempting fall weather
calling motorists to the highway,
the American Automobile Associa-
ton today pointed out that traffic
accidents usually show a decided
increase at this time of year and
urged motorists to exert more than
usual care.
Some of the traffic hazards
especially peculiar to this season
Of the year, according to the asso-
citation. are: Early twilight, leaves
on wet streets which cause skid
ding and the tendency of motor
lists to keep windows closed and
forget hand signals. Concerning
these, the association adds:
"In addition to these weather
or seasonal hazards, there are
other conditions to be remem-
bered. Millions of school chill
dren are using the streets and
highways in going to and from
school. Many of these young
&ers are attending school for
the first time and have not had
the benefit Of safety education.
"One of the most serious
threats to safety, however. is
the large number of skaters and
cyclists who are using the
streets in the late afternoon.
GrOwn-ups as well as children
are in this vast army seeking
recreation. Motorists should use
every precautiOn to avoid hav.
ing imperfect lights and bad
brakes and should also be ever
on the alert when driving in sec.
tiOns where groups of children
are at play"

CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League
Shows Kings And Queens Sims Original Three Bid Asks Partner To Reveal Aces, Then Next Highest
 HOnOrS Tn

l want to clear up the king and queen showing of the Sims three bid to-day. While it is true, you may not hold many three bids, when you do have one, you do not want to miss obtaining the maxi mum results.
 The Sims three-bid should be made when the hand contains not more than three losers with a major suit as trump. or two losers with a minor suit as trump. The first suit named is the suit at which the final contract must be played.
 In to-day's hand, South opens with three spades. The partner should respond first, when hold ing the ace of trump. with four spades, Not holding that ace, but holding any other aces, he should bid his highest ace first. But when not holding a single ace, as in to- days hand, his proper response is three no trump.
 he is asking his partner if he holds the king of clubs. Holding the king of clubs, North's proper respohSetlS flVe cluDs. Souths DIG of five diamonds is asking for the king of diamonds. Without il North simply bids five spades
 Suppose South's holding had been the ace, king, and jack of diamonds. He had already To- cated the king of clubs and would now like to know about the queen of diamonds. After North's bid Of five spades, denying the king of diamonds, South would bid six dia :

monds, asking for the queen.
 If North held the queen, he would bid seven diamonds and the final contract would have been seven spades.
 In to-day's hand, South has shaded his three-bid a little, but it seems rather justified, due to the fact that, if he can locate the king of clubs and the king of diamonds, he has a possible grand slam. So I do not criticize South for shad- ing his bidding.
 The Play
 The play of the hand is not die- ficult. Still, careless player would fail to make his contract. It looks as if South has two losing diamonds. because, when the sev- en of diamonds is led from durn- my, East will play the ten.
 But why worry about finessing the diamond The opening lead of the king of hearts marks West with the ace of hearts.
 All the declarer has to do is 10 trump the first heart trick, take three rounds of trumps, and four rounds of clubs, winning the last club in dummy, then lead the queen of hearts and discard the losing eight of diamonds. This gets rid of your loser and elim- mates the necessity of taking a finesse.
 Now West is forced to lead a diamond into the ace-queen. If he leads heart, the declarer will trump in one hand an ddiscard the losing diamond from the other. (Copyright 1884 NEA Service Incl
