Requests
Simple. Burial But
Forgets Her Estate

LOS ANGELES, Jan. Is. UP)-
An unusual will was on file today
in probate court, containing de-
tailed instructions for the funeral
of the late Mabel Beall, 62-year-
old Spinster, but failing to mention
disposition of her estate.
The property. valued at $4,000.
will be held by the court until
legal minds unravel the problem
of disposition.
The will meanwhile urged in
terSe, unsentimental words that
the elderly spinster be cremated
with as little expense and as lit
tie nonsense as possible"
"A simple private service is to
be held-no sermon, no remarks,
no obituary. I am not expecting
to be asleep but very much alive
and awake :"
The will added that "one single
small spray of fpwers may be
used, but not headpiece-how
hate themw
Only mention of relative was
a reference to her sister, Laura
Beall, of Frankfort, ILL.,, who was
mot to be notified until after
these instructions all have been
carried out" Miss Beall died in
December.

South was morally certain that
a discard of spade would mean
the loss of trick to his side. He
knew that he must hold both his
diamonds or lose a trick. North had
played the 2 of clubs and discard
ed the on the second lead of dia-
monds. Who held the missing Us
of clubs South could not tell.
South was twice squeezed. Sup
pose he let's go a spade, at this
sixth trick. Take the O of dia-
mondS. Take K of spades, Ace and
8 of spades. On the last spade let
go declarer's last diamond. What
is South to let go on this tenth
trick? He has only the top diamond
and the 1898 of clubs. 1t he lets
go his diamond, dummy'S diamond
becomes good and declarer's Ace
and K of clubs must complete the
grand slam. If South let's go club
at the tenth trick declarer's three
clubs must yield the grand slam.
South still will be twice SqueeZ-
ed. if he lets go either diamond
or club, instead of spade, at the
sixth trick. Suppose that South
lets go a diamond. Two diamond
tricks will be run. On the second
diamond trick South then must
unguard either spades or clubs,
giving declarer a grand slam. In
case South lets go club, instead
of either a spade or diamond, at
the sixth trick, he is squeezed for
grand slam.

ExiIed Einstein
Takes Out Papers
As u. S. Citizen

TRENTON N. J., Jan. 16 UP
DR. Albert Einstein, exiled German
socialist. took out his first Amer
ican citizenship papers today.
DIR. Einstein, accompanied by his
secretary. appeared at the Mercer
county courthouse and asked for
the naturalization clerk. He was
sent to the postoffice and a mile
away, where he walked barehead-
ed in the rain.
Einstein paid a $3.50 fec for his
papers and returned to Princeton,
where he holds a professorship in
the school OF mathematics. He will
be eligible for citizenship in 1898,
having taken up residence in this
country in 1882. Shortly after his
arrival the German dictatorship
confiscated his property and that
of his family.

: ton. Ellicott City is one of the pic
turesque old villages of a back
route" to Baltimore.
Van Devanter at n, is the oldest
member of the court in years of
service and the second Oldest in
age. He is three years the junior
of Justice Louis D. Brandeis, dean
of the liberal faction, who will be 30
this year.
Quiet On Plans
Aside from the purchase and the
fact that Van Devanter has been in
poor health, there was little to sub
stantiate the report. Attaches of
the court always decline to discuss
such reports and the justice himself
could not be reached for comment.
First word of resignation usually
comes from the White House, where
it is submitted.
Observers believed that if Van De-
vanter, dean of conservatives on the
bench, should resign and be replaced
by liberal that congressional agi-
tation for restriction of court powers
might be dropped.
The court is almost evenly divid-
ed between conservatives and liber-
ais. Five to four decisions, with
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes
swinging the balance, have been fire.
quent. Van Devanter has voted
against most New Deal measures.
There has not been a supreme
court resignation since the late JUS
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes laid
aside his judicial robes in 1882.
First Break In Ranks
The resignation of Van Devanter
if it were to materialize, would give
President Roosevelt his first oppor-
tunity to name member of the
bench. 1t would also be the first
break in the conservative ranks of
the court since the death of Chief
Justice William Howard Taft.
A change of the court just now
might have great significance in
view of the New Deal cases still to
come before the tribunal 1t might
prove important in deciding the
validity of the Guffey coal control
act, the social security law, the new
railroad pension law, the labor rela-
tions act and the utilities law
Van Devanter's resignation has
been rumored frequently. 1t was
mentioned over year ago when his
wife died during a summer trip to
Europe.

MORE SERVICE
FORESEEN BY
PUBLIC POWER

Any rural identification pro-
gram to be successful must bring
power TO the homes of farmers
not merely for lighting purposes
put also for washing, ironing,
pumping and other machines run
by motors, and this power must
be distributed at rates which the
consumers can afford to pay with
out causing them hardships."
American agriculture is now
struggling with heavy mortgages
and interest payments and could
not assume further large debts
even to bring modern comforts and
conveniences to their homes. The
average farmer cannot afford to
pay more than from two to three
cents per kilowatt hour for the
amount of current needed"
The above statements are con-
tanned in bulletin brought to the
attention of the Imperial Irriga-
ton district board of directors at
their meeting yesterday and re-
ceived much attention because of
the connection they have with the
power program approved by the
board.
1t was the concensus of opinion
among members of the board that
rural electrification for ranchers
living in this district can be ac-
complished, satisfactorily, only
through the complete distribution
of All American canal power by
the district. 1t is only in that way
that power can be brought to these
ranchers at prices they can afford
to pay and warrant them to use
sufficient current to meet all their
needs.
Furthermore, in the opinion of
the board, this would be the most
satisfactory method because future
profits from such system would
belong to the residents of the dis
trict and would be used by them
for future betterment and extern
sions of power service without the
need of assessments levied for that
purpose.
