tionally raising the embargo against
the government Of Spain" and re-
questing my comment
In recent years this Government
has consistently pursued a course cal.
culated to prevent our becoming in
volved in war situations. In August
1885, shortly after the beginning Of
the civil strife in Spain. it became
evident that several of the great
powers were projecting themselves into
the struggle through the furnishing
Of arms and war materials and other
aid to the contending sides, thus Gre
ating a real danger Of q spread Of the
conflict into a European war, with
the possible involvement OF the United
States.
Real Danger" Cited. 3,
That there was such a real danger
was realized by every thoughtful OBJ
server the world over. Twenty-seven
governments Of Europe took special
cognizance Of that fact in setting up
committee designed to carry out
concerted policy of non-interven-
tion in the conflict. In view of all
these special and unusual circum-
stances, this Government declared its
policy of strict non-interference in
The struggle and at the same time
announced that export of arms from
the United States to Spain would
be contrary to such policy.
The fundamental reason for the
enactment of the joint resolution of
January 8, 1887. was to implement this
policy by legislation. This joint reso-
luton was passed in the Senate unani-
mously and in the House of Repre-
sentatives by vote of 4O6 to /.

For AUO,Uing
Fire to Spread
By a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md. May 13.-The
first conviction and sentence in Mont
gomery County for "carelessly setting
a fire" was imposed in Police Court
here today on Robert H. Pier, who lives
on the River road near Potomac.
Pier was given a six-month sentence
by Judge Harold c. Smith after he
admitted starting a trash fire which
jumped 20-foot road to the adjoin-
ing property of j. B. Duley and
burned the residence and outbuildings
to the ground. Damage was esti-
mated at more than $4,000
Sheldon H. Burns of the State
fire warden's Office filed the charge,
which is believed to be the first in
this county.
Allowing a fire to escape to the
injury of adjoining land is prima
facie proof of carelessness or neglect
under Maryland law.
The fire occurred March 8. Pier
testified that the fire, whipped by q
high wind. got away from him.

In The Local TheateTS
POLES

Thrill-a- minute mystery drama with a believable romantic interest unfolded against the brilliant back ground of night club life, is Colum- bias "Who Killed Gail Preston?" which opens tomorrow at the Loew Poli Theater. Featured leading players are Don Terry, Wynn Ca hoon, Rita Hayworth and Robert Paige.
 As a go-get-'em, smart police in- spector, Terry sets out to solve the killing of night club prima don- na, Rita Hayworth, who was shot and killed while lowing to applause under the spotlight at the Swing Club. Rita had vented her temper on half dozen fellow players and the clubs manager. The principal object of her wrath was Paige, be- cause he insisted on marrying her sister, Miss Cahoon. She forced the clubs manager to fire Paige short ly before she herself was found murdered.
 When Terry and police come on the scene, all in the club are held as suspects. Terry quickly uncovers evidence discriminating performers, Rita's chauffeur and her business manager. Just as quickly the bot tom falls out of his clues. Finally he arrests Paige, over the protests of Miss Cahoon, who reveals that she and Paige have been secretly married. Terry, however, promises Miss Cahoon to look for more def mite clues.
 Terry tries bold move. Sum- moning all suspects to the night club, he re-enacts the scenes of the murder night. This causes the real and hitherto unsuspected murderer to reveal himself through fear and plunges events into fresh complica- tions that lead to an exciting eli max.
 As interesting as the gripping mystery melodrama which the pie ture unfolds, is the fact that it groups together, for approving ap- praisal, some of Hollywoods most promising young players. They in- clude Don Terry, Rita HayWorth and Robert Paige, all of whom de- liver first-rate performances. In the supporting cast are such vet eran character actors as Arthur Loft, Gene Morgan, Marc Law renee and John Gallaudet.
 The second big hit on this pro- gram is "RaWhide" featuring one of the screens foremost singing cow boys, the popular Smith Ballew.

straight flush headed by the ace, is still the best hand in five suit poker. In four-suit poker you will not be dealt anything better than a pair 923 per cent of the time. In five-suit poker you will not be dealt anything better than a pair 91.4 per cent of the time.
 While the number of possible hands in five-suit poker is in ex- cess of S,O00,0OO, a careful exam ination shows that 2,500,000 pos- sible hands in four-suit poker carry almost identical percentage figures.
 The one great advantage of five suit poker is that there will be more cards in the deck, thereby allowing a larger number of play CTS to participate at once. On many occasions it will not be necessary to shuffle discards.
 America is likely to see lot of wildness with this new eagle suit.

slight that no difference from the original four-suit poker game will be noticed. Henry Chanin, an- other in the game, liked the idea of being able to draw to a new suit.
 Baldwin's prediction is that we will see six-card poker. He claims that this will be a normal de- velopment due to the fact that in bridge we are dealt 13 cards, while in five-suit bridge each player re- ceives three extra cards and there is the faced card in the middle.

Some poker fans like a wild and fast game and that was why "deuces wild" "one-eyed jacks" " etc., were introduced.
 Maybe some culprit will even suggest making the entire green suit wild; or in a milder form they may allow the substitution of the green suit for any other suit, thereby making it easier to get flushes.
