Border Patrol Reorganized.
The transfer Of the border patrol
from jurisdiction OF the collectors
carries with it also a reorganization
of the border patrol districts Be-
ginning September there will be four
Of these, the Northeast patrol dis
trict, the Southeast patrol district,
the Southwest patrol district and the
Northwest patrol district.
Headquarters for the Northeast dis.
trict will be at Buffalo and will include
the States of Michigan, Ohio, Ver-
mont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts. Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, Maryland and Virginia and
the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, st.
Lawrence and Philadelphia
Headquarters for the Southeast dis
trict will be at Jacksonville, Fla, and
will include the customs collection dis.
tricts of North Carolina. South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida and the cities
of Mobile and New Orleans.
Headquarters for the Southwest
district will be at El Paso, Tex, and
will consist of the collection dis

In the years that have passed
liquor smuggling has overshadowed
all other types. Now. with it wiped
out, the public mind turns toward
narcotics as being the chief illegal
business in the country for suppress
sion.
The principal source of supply of
opium to this country is the Far East.
Much of it comes by way of Honolulu,
where it is cleverly transferred to
American from Oriental ships. OF the
West coast it is smuggled into the
States by many ways. devious and
intriguing.
Law Uniformity Sought.
This fact is sufficient almost in
itself for consolidation of the vari-
GUS law enforcement units Of the
Treasury. For. like liquor smuggling.
the problem has to be approached
from outside, as we'll as in, cooper
atively. Narcotics works within the
boundaries of the country; customs
works at the gates of entry.
Another objective sought by the
unification of the various units is
uniformity in the application of the
customs laws. Under the collector
system one port authority might in
terpret the law differently from an
other-and he did quite often. Under
the new set-up uniformity of inter-
probation is guaranteed. Says the
Constitution. g. all duties, imposts
and excises shall be uniform through
out the United States" meaning the
laying and collection of them.
The jurisdictional transfer also
eliminates any possibility Of favorit-
ism in the administration of the law
on the part of port authorities
something not unknown-and will
make for more courteous treatment
by agents and authorities there and
elsewhere.

Asbury Park Highlights

TINE Summer championships q
the American Bridge League,
held at Asbury Park, N. j., the
4 first week in August. are his
tory now, and yet there is considerable
that the news accounts missed. First,
very few. If any. of the accounts
stressed how national in scope the
tournament really was. There were
players from such far States as Cali
fornia and Arizona. The record was
held by an enthusiastic bridge player
from New Zealand, who found himself
in New York at the time Of the tourna-
ment and promptly went down to
Asbury to see what an American bridge
tournament was like.
While Eastern players usually win
all the events at Asbury, this year was
quite an exception, due principally to
the efforts of our good friend, Louis J.
Haddad Of Chicago. Playing with Mrs
Eliot Evans and Miss Elizabeth Whit
ney, also of Chicago, and Robert Nc
Pherran of Philadelphia, Mr.. Haddad
started out the week by winning the
Mixed Team of Four and then, finish
ing in grand style, playing with Mat
thew S. Reilley of Chicago, Phillip
Steiner and Lewis Bernard of Gin
cinnati and Alvin Landy of Cleveland,
he won the Team of -Four champion
ship.
The Team-of -Four victory was made
even more remarkable by the fact that.
although they originally entered as a
team Of four, Mr.. Bernards mother
was taken seriously i'll in the middle
of the tournament and he had to leave
suddenly, whereupon Mr.. Landy. who
had never played with Mr.. Steiner be-
fore, took his place.
THE East was fortunate enough
to hold its own in the pair events,
DR.. Richard H. Ecker and Fred D.
Kaplan of New York winning the
mems open pair, while the masters
pair. the leading event of the tourna-
ment, was won by David Burnstine
and Oswald Jacoby.
The Masters Pair Trophy, donated
by Baron Waldemar Won Zedtwitz sew
eral years ago. undoubtedly the most
coveted trophy bridge player can
win, has been in the possession of
members of our team practically con-
tinuously. In 1880. the first year
of competition, the donor, Baron Won
Zedtwitz, won it with P. Hal Sims.
In 1881 it was won by Mr.. Burn
stine and Howard Schenken, in 1892
by Theodore A. Lightner and Michael
T. Gottlieb, in 1888 by Messrs. Burn
stine and Schenken once more and
in 1884 by Mr.. Schenken and Richard
| Frey.
Since the deed Of gift Of the trophy
provided that it would 60 to the first
player winning it three times, it be-
came the property of Mr.. Schenken,
but it was redonated to the league.
In 1885 We lost it temporarily to B.
Jay Becker and Mr.. Lightner, but
We now have it back again.
The hand shown below is one of
the most interesting of the week. 1t
occurred in the mixed pair event, and
at practically every table the final
contract was six clubs. Most play
ers just managed to make their con-
tract, two actually succeeded in going
down. but only M. D. Maier of New
York was able to make seven. And yet
the line of play adopted by Mr..
Maier never risked his small slam
contract!

fact that Guatemala has just created

mind that bisects also have existed in

they temporarily ran out of scent

MARINE SERGEANT
GIVEN MEDAL FOR.
HEROIC SERVICES.
ROSWELL WINANS MAKES
REPAIRS TO GUN THAT BE-
CAME TANNED IN FACE OF
CONSTANT FIRE OF ENEMY

NEW ORLEANS. April TO-
Service in the U. S. Marines is
continually developing the story
of heroism and valor, and Lieut..
Edward A. Robbins. USING, tells
an experience of sergeant whose
cool bravery while under fire in
Santo Domingo jungles earned fer
him a Congressional Medal of
Honor.
The fight was against bandits
who were being driven back by
the Marines, sent there to clean
up and police a section where
guerrilla warfare had threatened
the peace of the country, as well
as foreign lives and property.
1t was a hot day in July, 1916,
as Lieut.. Robbins relates the
story. Fighting had been from
one shelter to another through the
jungle country, and the Marines
had emerged into the open with
the enemy in trenches and using
modern weapons with consider
able effect.
A corporal placed a machine
gun behind log lying across a
road and opened fire. Two bullets
hit him and he was dragged back
out of danger. 1t was at this
point Sergeant Roswell Winans
arrived with a Colt gun and COM
menced firing. Within 20 feet of
Winans. seven men went down,
wounded, and another was shot
dead.
Winans' gun jammed-but he
stood erect, bullets singing all
around him. and repaired the gun
without leaving the post. He
miraculously escaped wounds or
injury throughout the hot en-
counter.
Winans stayed with the damned
gun until it was repaired and saw
the enemy routed. For his heroic
action he was awarded the medal
and promoted to commissioned
rank in the Marines.
