world gold price to the fixed
American figure of $35 an ounce.
Action of the British in mark
ing up gold by the largest margin
ever recorded indicated that the
new American price was headed
for international acceptance as a
new bullion gold standard.
Interpreting the British move,
q prominent bullion expert here
informed International News
Service that it means that in
the future the sterling-dol rate
will determine the price Of gold.
Hitherto, the price has been
predicated on French currency,
one of the few international
media of exchange remaining on
the old gold standard.
Thus, If sterling appreciates
against the dollar the gold price
will drop, while if sterling
depreciates, the price Of gold will
improve just as it did when the
gold price was based on the
sterling-franc exchange.
The principal difference. how
ever, will be that the dollar, in
stead of being made a victim at
the hands of gold standard cur
rencies, will play a major part in
determination of the price of gold.
The London action indicates
that Britain agrees with Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau in
regarding the present American
financial set-up as 1884 model

British Ditch Franc
For U. S. Dollar

LONDON, Feb. 2 Q.N.S0.
President Roosevelt's new none.
tary policies scored a major VIC
; tory today when the international
gold price, as determined in Lon
don, was marked up to a point
within a fraction of the $35 an
ounce figure which provided the
basis for devaluation of the dol
lar.
Abandoning the French franc
in favor of the new 59.06-cent dol
lar as the gold price base, the
British gold arbiters advanced
the rate 4 shillingS (about 81,
to 139 shillings, 6 pence an ounce.
This was equivalent to about
$34.85 in American surrency at
today's opening exchange rate of
$4.9912 to the pound.
Dollar Climbs
The dollar climbed steadily dur
ing the day. At 2:30 p. m. it stood
between $4.93a and 4.9412 to the
pound.
The sudden switch from the
franc to the dollar was agreed
upon at the daily sercet session of
the financial experts who deter
mine the price of gold on the Lon
don market.
One of the first aims of the
Roosevelt monetary policy was to

JUPITER HANGS;
UNCONSCIOUS
Of GALLOWS
White Woman's Killer Faints;
Warden Props Him Up
for Fatal Plunge

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2.-Moaning
and collapsing on the gallows just
before the trap was sprung, Page
Jupiter, giant colored farm hand,
was hanged at the penitentiary
here early today.
Jupiter, who confessed to as
saulting a white woman and then
hacking her to death with an ak,
was found guilty by jury at La
Plata last November and given
the death penalty.
Rescued From Lynching
Shortly after his arrest a mob
gathered to lynch him. Learning
of the plan, Sheriff Robert v.
Cooksey spirited the colored man
out of jail and to Upper Marl-
boro. Later he was removed to
Baltimore for safe keeping pend
ing his trial.
Pleading not guilty to the mur-
der charge, his only defense was
that the woman asked him to
kill her and he obliged. His at
torneys attempted to prove he
was insane.
The colored man was led to
the gallows at 1903 this morn
ing. After he had been strapped
and the black mask placed over
his face, he gave a moan and
collapsed on the gallowS.
Unconscious When Hanged
Warden Patrick Brady stepped
to his side, lifted him up and
Strengthened him out, then
stepped back just in time to
avoid plunging through the trap.
Witnesses said the colored man
was unconscious.
The trap was sprung at 1904
and Jupiter was pronounced
dead IL minutes later.

500 Million Dollars
To Return to U. S.

PARIS, Feb. 2 G.N.S).-Five
hundred million dollars worth Of
American panic money" is going
back home.
Shipped to France for specula-
ton or "safe-keeping" during the
hectic days which followed
Americas abandonment of the
gold standard, the 500 million is
being repatriated as speedily as
possible.
Much of it, according to indi.
cations here, is destined for use
by Wall Street spectators now
eager to get in on the ground
floor of the stock market boom
which followed in the wake of
President Roosevelt's devaluation
of the dollar to 59.06 cents.
Something in the neighborhood
of 1000 million dollars, according
to estimates here, fled to Europe
when America abandoned gold.
Since that time 1t has reposed in
European vaults or has been used
for dealings on European ex-
changes.

Regarding the general pay cut

Gates had best take the hberaliZa-

dent may veto the bill.
Byrnes Explains Status
Byrnes said that If such an
event occurred it ultimately may
mean that the gains which
Federal employees have made may
be diminished.
Senator Byrnes argued that If
Administration forces could show
the President that compromise
was agreeable to all parties, the
Chief Executive would have less
grounds for opposing the PROPOSE
ton.

ByrnS said that although ord

as this would go to conference
without a second vote, many Con-
gressmen have expressed a desire
to go on record in favor of the
restoration.
It is probable the opportunity
to vote will come when the House
decides whether or not to instruct
House conferees before they con-
fer with the Senate group.

posal for full restoration of the
Government pay cut after July l,

 This eliminates the club suit, so you proceed to eliminate the diamond suit by leading the last daimond out of dummy and ruff ing in your own hand. There is still one trump out, so you lead low over to dummy and take with the king.
 At this point dummy has left one trump and the jack, ten, nine of spades. Declarer holds one trump and the ace and two small spades. You lead the jack of spades out of dummy and play low from your own hand. West wins with the queen.
 You do this knowing that West must either lead a spade back into your tenace, OF else lead some suit which will permit you to trump in dummy and discard a losing spade from your own hand.
