Virginian Tells Officer Victim
Ran Into Road in Effort to

STAUNTON, Va. July lo.-Mrs.
Florence Fridley, 20-year -old mother
OF a small boy. was fatally injured
today when struck by an automobile
State Policeman D. r. Haskell said
was driven by her husband
Haskett said r. A. Fridley told him
the young woman ran into the road
at Augusta Springs apparently in an
which hurled her more than 35 feet
despite his effort to avoid striking
her
Fridley, the officer quoted him as
saying, was returning from Staunton
with Miss Bessie Caldwell of Fordwick,
who had accompanied him there
earlier today. He said he swerved
the car to the left but his wife also
ran in that direction and he could
not prevent the accident. The ma
chine continued off the road and
struck parked truck.
Mrs. Fridley died a few minutes
after being rushed to a hospital here.
Haskett arrested Fridley on charges
of manslaughter, reckless driving,
causing an accident and driving with
out an operators permit.

4 2-year-old son, Edward, include her
mother, Mrs. George w. McCutcheon;
a brother, Henry McCutcheon; sis
ter, Mrs. Emma Fridley; two half

a statement Of fact, that the gentle
man from Kentucky is here. Does
he deny it?"
Reeds innovations, plus the exist
ence OF the one-hour rule, which, in
the House forbids any member except
the one reporting bill from COM
mittee to speak more than one hour on
any bill, plus the previous question
rule, whereby the ma ajority can usually
close debate, have virtually eliminated
fllibustering the House. But the Sem
ate rules still permit it.
From 1889 until 1906 the Senate
had provision for moving the pre-
vious question. When this is done in
common parliamentary practice. no de-
bate and no amendments are in order
on the motion. II the motion passes
the main subject at issue Is imme-
diately brought to vote. The previous
question was only used six times In
the Senate, and then the rule was
dropped.
The Senate also still retains in its
rulebook a provision which reads !:
mo one is to spake impertinently or
beside the question. superfluously or
tediously" This was enforced by the
President Of the Senate in the early
days, but has gradually lapsed. Now
there is no check on debate, except
a rather unmanageable rule intro
duced in 1917. Sixteen members may
petition the President of the Senate
that debate be limited. At the next
session vote is taken, and If two
thirds assent. each memmber is re-
stricted to speech Of one hour.
La Toilette Set Record.
Minority groups in the Senate have
often used their freedom to check
legislation. A bill providing for Fed
eral supervision Of elections in the
South was filibustered for two months
in 1890 and killed. At that time one
Senator spoke for l3 hours. This
record was raised three years later
when Senator Allen Of Nebraska talked
for IA hours In vain attempt to stop
the repeal Of the silver purchase act
But Senator Robert La Toilette, father
of the present Senator of that name,
seems to have the all-time high Of l8
hours. He achieved this in 1908, TAX
ing light lunches Of sandwiches and
milk during the roll calls on motions
to adjourn which punctuated his
speech.
Single-handed flibusters are seldom
successful. although once Senator
Tillman of South Carolina won a point
by threatening to read Byrons works
to the Senate unless it passed a war
claim he advocated. The Senate
capitulated. But the usual method IS
for several Senators to speak in re-
lays. This was done by the little
group of willful men," II in all, who
talked for three days against the bill
to arm American merchantmen
against German submarines In 1917.
The Senate adjourned without taking
action on the bill.

HOTEL STRIKERS
RIOT IN FRANCE
Wa|kout Spreads, Closing II
HosteIries and Hundreds

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 10-Outbreaks OF vio-
lence tonight accompanied the spread
Of strike by hotel, restaurant and
cafe workers demanding an uncondi-
tional five-day week.
A dozen OF the largest Paris hotels
and more than a hundred cafes and
restaurants were Strikebound when
committees of three affiliated unions
called their workers out, except in
establishments already on a 4O-hour,
five-day week.
One big boulevard hotel said most
OF its guests left when the strike was
declared. It's American guests, how
ever preferred to stay, even though
they had to prepare their own meals
and make up their own rooms
Most of the disorders were created
when rowing squadrons of strikers at
tempted to call out employees Of eating
places that remained open.
Emergency police squads restored
order in one cafe after an employe
was injured and mobile guards we're
stationed near the large hotels and
cafe-lined boulevards.
Twenty strikers smashed bottles and
hurled chairs in a restaurant in the
financial district until police squads
elected them. They returned with re-
Inducements but police blocked the
entrances.
The employers syndicate warned
they would shut their doors rather
than modify the general accord Of
July 2. reached through government
mediation, which established an ap-
proximate five-and-a- -half-da week.
Premier Camille Chautemps, who
has endeavored personally to reconcile
the workers and employers demands,
planned to continue arbitration con-
ferences.

however. Lillian Miller was just that

Miss Smith, wood cut enthusiast
of a kind, noticed the name of Mis-.
Miller on a number of things dis
played in the Museum.
That's funny she thought, "the

to know one at the University OF Chi

even gave me one of them one day

found that it was the same Lillian
Miller, whose old woodcut now hangs

Evening star., 1937-09-15

Mrs. Jacobys opening bid of two
hearts was naturally correct since she
had substantial high card values and
wanted to play the hand at game re-
gardless Of what her partner held,
and in addition could see distinct
slam possibilities. Mr.. Jacoby was of
course Immediately interested in
slam, but decided to start things off
by raising partners hearts to three.
Mrs. Jacoby's second-round bid of
three spades was the natural one, and
when her husband responded with four
diamonds, clearly showing first-round
control in that suit, she was really
delighted.
Many players would have jumped
Immediately to seven hearts, but Mrs.
Jacoby realized her husbands four
diamond bid did not mean he would
have no losers in diamonds, but merely
showed he could take the first trick in
that suit. Accordingly, in the event
he held four spades, it might be better
to play the hand in that suit. There
fore Mrs. Jacoby's bid of four spades
tlCdll AiQiIdLSQ SliC lldQ a lCdl SpdQC
suit, and definitely suggested playing
the hand there rather than in hearts
the suit previously agreed upon.
Mr.. Jacoby thought things over and
realized that his partner wanted him
to raise spades in the event that he
held four in that suit-hence his bid
Of five spades. Now Mrs. Jacoby was
ready to gamble that with spades as
trump she could get rid of any dia-
mond losers in her partners hand on
her long hearts, and accordingly con-
tracted for the grand slam in spades.
A club was opened. Mrs. Jacoby
ruffed, drew trumps and spread her
hand, announcing discards Of both
dummy's low diamonds on her long
heart suit. Artificial slam bidding
methods would undoubtedly have got
ten North and South to the grand
slam also, but probably in hearts,
where 1t could not have been made
since, with hearts as trumps, Mrs. ia
coby could have discarded only one
diamond on her side suit.
