Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. f. M'KENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
Here's a bid that is now being en-
ployed a great deal. 1t is explained
in the new book entitled 1.-THE Four
Aces System of Contract Bridge"
When the one-over- one bid first
became popular, jump two-over-
one was not advocated. However,
the bid in this system has a definite
meaning.
1t is seldom used, but when en-
ployed it is of great Importance. 1t
is used for one purpose by a player
who has passed and for another by
a player who has not passed.
I shall take it up first when used
by a player who has passed. Such
bid says, in effect, Partner, even
though you have shaded bid, we
must continue to game" For ex-
ample:

This hand does not contain the
strength required for an original
bid. After passing, however. if
partner opens with one club, you
should respond with one spade with
this holding, because you are afraid
of misflt. But if partner opens
with a diamond or a heart, the
Four Aces System advocates a bid
of two spades.

BANK REPORT SHOWS DECEMBER
BUSINESS GAINED SOMEWHAT

more business in 1884 than in either
of the two preceding years.
The report continues in part as
follows:
Although almost every phase of
local business experienced some i'm
provement during the past year, ag-
riculture achieved much the best re-
cord. Bank debts in four represen-
tative farm communities in South
ern California were approximately
% per cent larger in 1884 than in
1888, reflecting the increased vol
ume of funds received from crops
and expended by those deriving
their incomes from farming. Other
lines showing gains for the year in
clude automobile sales which were
close to IA per cent larger than in
1888, and industrial employment, up
almost IL per cent. Building remains
the most depressed of all the i'm
portant trades in this area. While
there was a little more activity in
the last quarter of 1884 than II
months previous, the aggregate VOL
ume for the year was about 6 per
cent smaller than in 1888. 1t ap-
pears probable that the long con-
tinued period of abnormally low ac-
tivity in this field may create scar
cities which will result in unusually
large operations at some future
date.
1.-THE month of December occas-
ioned only minor changes in local
industrial output. While steel fabri-
Gators increased their rate of pro-
duction, tire, oil tool, furniture and
other lines experienced seasonal de-
clines. Automobile assembly plants
were engaged in getting 1885 mod
els into production. Continued rain
fall and favorable weather bene-
fitted agriculture throughout the
state and the new year commences
with farmers in an excellent posi-
ton to equal or better their 1884
performance. Navel oranges are now
moving to market in volume, during
recent weeks, however, prices have
been below those of last season."
The Security First National bank
index of business activity in South
ern California stands, according to
preliminary calculations, at $50 for
December, remaining unchanged
from November. A year previous it
was 65.3; in December, 1882, it stood
at 622.

Coast Man Talks To
Townsend Clubs

Before a gathering estimated at
well over 500 persons, Van Dyke
Todd of Los Angeles, spoke on the
Townsend plan at the fair grounds
yesterday afternoon. The occasion
was mass meeting of representa-
tives from all the Townsend clubs
in the valley.
The speaker stated that the plan
was a great humanitarian move
ment and measure that was econ
omically sound, feasible and palpa-
bly, workable. He said that it was
the only plan thus far advanced
that would relieve the present un-
employment situation, help prevent
crime, care for the aged and at the
same time not create an unbear-
able tax burden.
He urged support of the local
club activities by the general pub
lie, stating that in so doing great
deal of Sressure could be brought
to bear on representatives now in
Washington for the session of con-
greSs.
Officers of the Ell Centre club
announce a meeting to be held in
the court house on Thursday night
and ask all members and support
ers of the plan to attend as matters
of vital Importance will be dis
cusSed.

RESCUE ALL
PERSONS ON
WARD LINER
Many Former Me m b ers Of
Moro Castle Crew Praised By
Passengers For Heroism

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 7. W.H-Thir-
ty-eight passengers from the
wrecked Ward liner, Havana, land
ed here today, and told of remark
able heroism by the Havana's
crew, after the New York Havana
liner piled up on Mantanilla Shoals,
go miles due east of Fort Pierce,
Fla.
One passenger and one member
of the crew remained unaccounted
for, but Ward line officials insist
ed that all passengers and all of
the crew were safe.
Eleven passengers were aboard
the United Fruit liner Peten and
will be landed at Havana at noon.
The survivors brought here were
picked up from lifeboats by the
Morgan freighter Ell Oceano.
Fifty of the 124 members of the
124 members of the Havana's crew
were members of the crew of the
Moro Castle, also a Ward liner,
which burned off the New jersey
coast with a loss of 124 lives. The
crew of the Moro Castle was ac-
cused of cowardice by many pas
sengers, but passengers of the Ha-
vapa had high praise for its con-
duct.
Seaman Steve Fauslas, in charge
of one of the lifeboats, kept 1t
afloat single handed three hours
after 1t had been swept by a huge
wave. DR.. Howard Fox of New
York, a passenger, said he planned
to ask Carnegie hero medal for
Fauslas.
Woman Is Heroine
But the greatest act of heroism
was not by member of the crew,
but by a passenger. Mrs. Sonia
London, of Mexico City, and her
two children, Elias 8, and Fannie
2, we're swept out of a life boat
by wave, too far for rescue. With
a child under each arm, she swain
for half an hour. When taken
aboard the Oceano. Elias appeared
dead. Seamen applied artificial res
piration for two hours and revived
him.
Out at Mantanilla shoals the
Havana still was held fast, seas
were reported subsiding and the
ship was said to be in no further
danger. Captain A. w. Peterson
and all members of his crew not
needed to man the lifeboats had
remained aboard. An effort to re-
float her will be made today.
Thirty of the crew were landed
here. Thirteen were aboard the
Peten. Eighty-two renal in e q
aboard.
Fourth officer John Rich said
he believed faulty navigation in
struments caused the wreck. They
showed the Havana Is miles of
the shoals a few minutes before
the ship piled up in heavy seas
Visibility was bad.

WOMAN SLAPS
LOS ANGELES
JURY FOREMAN

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7 U,D -
Bitterness of fighting factions
within the 1894 grand jury, after
months of controversy behind
closed doors, burst sensationally
into the Fits courtroom hearing to-
day when Mrs. Mae Cushman,
middle-aged woman juror, swung a
lusty slap to the side of the face
of Foreman John P. Buckley.
The incident, which occurred
during recess in hearing of the
attack of District Attorney Buron
Fits and his sister, Berthal Greg
,ory, on the perjury indictments, fol-
lowed brief verbal give and take
between the woman grand juror
and the foreman.
Then Mrs. Cushman gave the
slap. DR.. Buckley, specialized, short
and gray-haired, took the Slap,
right on the left cheek as he sat
in the courtroom.
The left side of his face a burn=
ing red DR.. Buckley continued to
sit while Mrs. Cushman resumed
of witnesses, indicating that the
episode may come up later in the
prosecution testimony which began
Just before the noon recess. The
defense rested its case just after
the face slap recess.

Budget Provides For Gradual
Withdrawal OF Aid To Private
Industries

WASHINGTON, Jan. Z. W1 -
Virtual withdrawal of the giant
81, ,000, 100000 Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation as lending
agency for stimulating private in
dustry during the 1886 fiscal year
was indicated in the budget esti-
mates submitted to congress today.
The nations biggest money lend
er, the budget indicated, will de-
crease its flow of funds into relief,
railroads, banks, schools, mines
and other projects to $712,145, 100
compared with $2,236,086,688 esti-
mated for the current fiscal year
ending June 80, 1895.
Regular loan repayments during
1896 are estimated at 1927, ,000, 900,
while treasury experts predicted
that $685., ,145,190 would be repaid on
old loans, thus making the RFC
self -liquidating.
To offset the 1885 expenditures,
budget figures showed expected
collections of $688. 100000 plus an
ticipated repayments on old loans
totalling $1,l48,068,688 leaving a
cash withdrawal of only $400,000,-

The budget explained that the
estimates were predicated upon
