OF mind when he first played a mill
tary part upon the sage. It was
that Of a short-lived captain in
"The Boys Of Company B."
He progressed from that to play
another captain, whose death cI-
NAKED the action in a piece entitled
ARIZONA. This play of Augustus
Thomas ran for two years, piling
up a considerable total of deaths
for Gordon, If one-night stands and
matinees be counted.
Currently, he is cast as the bristle-
moustached Col. Hatch, comman-
dant Of Fort Mysang's corps of Phil
ippine Constabulary, and is, as a
consequence, the first OF a group
of officers to fall prey to q fanatic
Filipino in the traditional manner
Of "juramentado."
Death is an old friend. Dying
is a familiar routine. 1t has stood
by me these years; it has kept me
alive" Gordon observed.

Where police officer is the wit
ness to an accident himself, it is
his duty to swear out a warrant
against the guilty party and see to

dent at the time. In the course of
such investigations most of the off,
GERS are not trained to make a sat-
isfactory scientific study of the
causes of the accident and do not
carry the equipment for this pur-
pose. Even if the officer is con-
vinced that the facts justify plac-

cause he is not an eye witness to
the accident itself. Instead, he
summons the parties to appear be-

An issue arose in the final session
of the game when the Savage BROTH
ers, Joseph and John. teaming with
A. M. Sheppard and Mrs. MEME
Barry, thinking they had completed
the series of boards, left the tourna-
ment hall with three boards un-
played. Up to that time they were
the pair leaders, East and West,
and had they maintained no better
than an average on the three boards
their foursome would have tied with
the Rossen team for first place. The
directors, however. ruled that they
could not even allow an average.
And that the team could only be
given zero on the boards. This left
the RosSen team the undisputed
leaders. The decision was not chal-
lenged, but in order TO avert any
possible future controversy the mat
ter was referred to the American
Contract Bridge League, which has
affirmed the decision
The incident has brought into the
open several points where the laws
do not definitely cover questions
which may arise in duplicate and

visions for the 1910 code the Laws
Committee will take these matters
into consideration and endeavor to
frame set of regulations which
will meet this and similar situa-
