BY w. f. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

TINE national championship
Il tournament of the American
Bridge League is divided into two
sessions, a summer session. gener-
ally held at Asbury Park, N. j., and

instead of having the tournament
run two weeks, half of the events
are played for in the summer and
the remainder in the fall.
Midwestern players will be
pleased to learn that the fall ses-
sion of the tournament will be held
in Chicago this year. the week of
Dec. ?, at the Stevens. The leagues
first national tournament was held
in Chicago in 1927, returning again
in 1929. but ii has been six years
since the Windy City was host to
the countrys bridge stars.

son Of WELLS
NOW PEDD[ER

LONDON, April Is G.N.SO
Outside a tea-shop. in London's
famous strand today stood John
Carveth Wells, fellow Of the Royal
Geographic Society, mutely appeal
ing to the unrecognizing crowds to
buy his matches at a penny box.
The 24-year-old son of Grant
Carveth Wells, noted explorer, the
match seller told the Daily Elk
press that he blamed his mothers
lawsuits for his plight. His mother,
Mrs. Lizard Wells. is now suing his
fathers second wife, Mrs. Zetta
Wells, in Connecticut for $4,000
for alienation of affections. John
Wells said:
"My fathers resources are
tied up in the present lawsuit,
He has ceased sending me any
allowance.
81 can scarcely remember
when mother was not taking
action against father or his
present wife.
II have never really had a
home life. Father and mother
were always quarreling. 1 have
no sympathy for my mother.
I'm on fathers side. MY
mothers lawsuits brought me
to this"
Young Wells, who is an explorer
in his own right, lives not far
from the strand in a one-room
apartment in Soho, poor foreign
section in the heart of London's
west end.
His match-selling-often passers
by drop pennies into his tray and
take no matches-supports a wife
and six-months-old daughter.
Three years ago, before he as
sumed family obligations, John
Wells completed a two-year hike
around the world.

Relief Group; New Hous-
ing Plans Ready

Moving rapidly, President Roose-
welt prepared today to complete
the administrative machinery for
the 1880 million dollar public
works relief program by the end
of the week.
Behind his office doors, the
President saw important figures
in the new set-up, but made few
of the details public beyond the
formal announcements which are
being released daily on the indi-
vidual branches of the new or
ganization.
He did disclose, however, that
he will go on the air Sunday night
at 10 o'clock Eastern standard
time, in a nationwide "fireside"
broadcast, to explain his program
to the public.
Statement Due
Later today, the President was
expected to disclose the part as
signed to Harry L. Hopkins, Fed
eral Relief Administrator, at the
same time giving consideration to
appointments which must be made
to the two new divisions which
will be added to the Public Works
organization under the bill.
One of the Presidents callers to-
day was Senator j. Hamilton
Lewis CD of Illinois, who came
to discuss his bill establishing a
conservation department. to which
it was proposed that Secretary Of
Interior Ickes be transferred at a
later date.
The White House does not ex-
pect immediate action on this pro-
posal. but there was strong indica-
ton that some consolidation might
take place in the future in line
with consultations already pro-
posed to simplify administration
of the works program.
The President went over plans
with Frank C. Walker, new di.
rector of the National Emergency
Council, for several hours last
night. and probably will name
the chiefs of the remaining two
new divisions which will be in
cluded in the administrative set

YOUTH KILLS
PARENTS IN
REVENGE
Admits Staying Texas Judge
and Wife, But Denies It
Was for Insurance

AUSTIN, Texas, April Is
UN.SO.-A few hours after he
shot and killed his parents, 81
year-old Howard Pierson today
calmly demanded a comb and
mirror to primp before posing for
photographers.
Just as calmly and casually
the youth confessed, according to
authorities, that he lured Judge
w. F.. Pierson, associate justice
of the Texas supreme court, and
Mrs. Pierson, into the rugged hill
country west of here last night
and poured volley of bullets
into their bodies.
Police charged he did it for a
SIT, 900 life insurance policy held
by his father. But the youth de-
MED the charge, protesting his
motive was revenge" He re-
fused to enlarge on what he
meant by revenge"
Carefully Planned
Authorities said the killings
were carefully planned by the son,
that he went to Galveston last
Saturday and bought a revolver,
took his parents for motor drive
and then led them to their deaths
in the deserted hills.
Howard has not made a written
confession. Sheriff Lee O. Allen
said it would not be necessary.
Howard took officers to where
the pistol was hidden, along with
his fathers watch and pocket
book and his mothers purse. He
then was taken to Jail and put
to bed.
Told that photographers wanted
pictures, he demanded a comb
and mirror. He combed back his
hair awkwardly with his right
hand. his left was in sling from
the bullet wound self-inflicted to
bolster his first story that his
parents had been killed by high
way robbers.
Deputy Sheriff Paul Blair this
morning, said:
HE never did break down.
We just kept questioning him
all night and way into the morn
ing. He finally said he'd take
us to the place where the things
were hidden.
1--WE drove out on the Bull
Greek road and he stopped us
along the road about ten miles
this side of where the bodies
were found. There were the
purses and things, hidden in the
brush.
Judge Persons purse had
about Sill in it and there was
$1.25 in Mrs. Persons.
"The fellow hasn't written
out any confession. He made it
orally to us. At first he insisted
that highway bandits did it,
but he finally said he did"
YOUTH GOES TO SLEEP
"Pierson was kind of defiant
at first. Finally he said he'd
lied about the bandits. When
we got back he went right to
sleep. He's asleep now"
Shot in the left arm, young
Pierson came into town about
7:30 p. m. and told how his
father and mother had been shot
