TWO MURDERS OPEN NEW YEAR IN WINDY CITY Pair Slain as Bells Peal, Mystery Shrouds One of Killings. Bv Vnited Press CHICAGO, Jan. I—Two murders were recorded by police within ten minutes as the new year was ushered into Chicago. One of the shots that roared out at the height of the celebration, marking the passing of 1929, meant death for Fred Leon Roe, 52, prominent Mason and member of the Chicago real estate hoard. His body was found shortly after midnight on a sidewalk in the Logan Square district, a bullet wound through the abdomen. Whether he was killed bv a drunken 'reveler, was the victim of a bandit as he walked toward his home from a grocery, or was murdered for another reason has not been determined. His widow and two small children survive. The other slaying occurred at a New Year's eve party at the home of Miss Margaret Dwyer, 22. Just as the bells pealed out and the guns betokened midnight, A1 Lambert stepped up to William Havenann, 31. “This Is the chance I've been waiting for,” police were told Lambert said as he shot and killed Havenann. The two were said to have been rivals for the affections of Miss Dwyer. Police had not found Lambert today. CHICAGO THREATENED BY FAMINE IN COAL Walkout Called by Teamsters and Chauffeurs’ Union. Bn T'nlted Press CHICAGO, Jan. 1. —A midwinter coal famine threatened Chicago today. following announcement by the West Side Coal Tteamsters and Chauffeurs’ Union that a walkout had been called for Thursday. It was believed the walkout of one union body would result in a general strike by the teamsters’ unions. Other unions will meet today to consider strike proposals. If the strike becomes general it will cause widespread suffering, according to James D. Rooney, executive secretary of the Coal Merchants’ Association. Many hotels and large apartment houses have only forty-eight hours’ coal supply, he said, and many homes are not pre- i pared to go through a shortage. BUILD GAS-PIPE ORGAN London Men Make One of World’s Queerest Devices. LONDON, Jan. 1. —Young Mr. A. W. Alwood, his brother, and some school friends have built one of the world’s queerest organs.

The cost of constructing the organ was about SI,OOO. A similar organ, purchased, would run about $3,500. AL SMITH IS ARRESTED Cleveland’s Alleged Bootlegger Is Not “The Al,” However. CLEVELAND, Jan.

Seventh Game of Series Played in Radio Bridge

TN the seventh of Milton C. Work’s -*• Radio Bridge Games, broadcast from Station WFBM Tuesday, the exhibition players were Mrs. Virginia Tubbs of Chicago; Mrs. J. Vail Shipley of Wichita, Kan.; R. L. Rutter of Spokane, Wash., and George M. Hosack of Pittsburgh, all wellknown in the bridge world. The hands were: Mrs. Tubbs, dealer. South: Spades, 10, 8,6, 5,4, 3,2; Hearts, A. Q, 6; Diamonds, A; Ciubs, A, K. Rutter, West: Spades, A, Q, 7; Hearts, J. 3; Diamonds, 8, 6. 2; Clubs, Q, J. 10, 7, 4. Hosack, North: Spades, J. 9; Hearts, 10, 9, 7,5, 2; Diamonds, K, 10, 7,4, 3; Clubs, 9. Mrs. Shipley, East: Spades, K; Hearts, K, 8,4; Diamonds, Q, J, 9,5; Ciubs, 8. 6,5, 3, 2. Opening the bidding as the first deal of an Auction Bridge rubber, Mrs. Tubbs, South, said one Spade. She had all four suits stopped, but only a singleton Ace of Diamonds. Ic was obvious that it was preferable to bid her seven-card major. Rutter, West; bid two Clubs. He would have passed had the dealer passed, but he had the strength to make a following bid after a bid by South. Hosack, North, passed. He had not the side strength or the normal trump support to assist his nartner's Spade bid, and his two five-card suits lacked the strength to justify bidding either one. Mrs. Shipley, East, jumped to three Clubs. While it rarely is possible to pre-empt after the adversaries have bid, the effort was sound in this case because the partner of the initial bidder had passed. East’s jump was made in the hope that South might, not have the strength to venture three without a previous assist from partner. East also feared that If South were permitted to bid two, North would have strength enough to assist that bid. even though he was not strong enough to assist South s original bid of one. East appreciated that her partner's bid. being a following one might indicate only moderate strength: but she feared the outcome if adversaries were permitted to nlay the hand at Spades, and was willing to make a small sacrifice tc prevent it. a a a MRS. TUBBS, however, bid three Snades without hesitation. She realized she might, lose as many as three trump tricks and two Heart tricks, but believed there was little chance that she would be so unlucky. She also hoped that her partner, even if he was not strong enough to give her an assist, might have the very little helD she needed to go game. All passed, and Mrs. Tubbs became Declarer with a contract of three Spades. Rutter. West, led the Queen of Clubs, and Hosack. North, laid his hand down as Dummy. From it Declarer played the singleton 9 of Clubs. Mrs. Shipley. East, played the 6. her second-best, intending to play her Clubs down, third-best next, etc., in the hope that this procedure would enable her partner to count her suit. South, the Declarer, won with the King of Clubs. The Declarer, Mrs. Tubbs, planning her campaign, saw that she doubtless would lose three Spade tricks unless the adverse Spades were divided 2-2: also, site would nave to lose a Heart if site were forced to lead the suit from her own hand. A moment's study showed Mrs. Tubbs how shg could enter Dummy in order to cash Dummy’s King of D amonds, (on which she con'd discard a loting Heart from the closed hand), and to lead a Heart

from Dummy for the finesse of the Queen. As the first move, Declarer led her Ace of Diamonds, on which West played the 2, Dummy the 3, and East the 5. Declarer then led the Ace of Clubs, trumping it with the 9 of Spades in Dummy. West played the 4 of Clubs; East the 5. Declarer had to make this play before leading trumps even once, as the adversary who won the first trump trick surely would continue the suit to take Dummy’s ether trump off the board, thus killing Declarer’s chance of a Dummy entry. U B B Declarer, to trick, 4, led Dummy’s King of Diamonds, discarding her own 6 of Hearts. East played the 9 of Diamonds, and West the 6. Dummy then led the Deuce of Hearts, East played the 4, Declarer finessed her Queen, and West played the 3. Declarer then led the Deuce of Spades. Rutter, West, saw it would cost nothing to play low, so he played the 7. Dummy played the Jack, and East won with the King. East then led the 3 of Clubs, to force Declarer’s trumps. South ruffed with the 3 of Spades; West played the 7 of Clubs, and Dummydiscarded the 4 of Diamonds. Declarer then led the 10 of Spades, hoping to knock the adverse Ace and Queen together. West played the Queen, Dummy discarded the 5 of Hearts, and East, to Declarer’s disappointment, discarded the Deuce of Clubs. Declarer, with only trumps remaining in her hand, placed her cards face up on the table, conceding the Ace of Spades to the adversaries and claiming the rest. Declarer made her game, four tricks in Spades, with 36 for trick points; the adversaries scored 30 for their three honors. b a b IN Mr. Work’s comments on the bid and play of the hand, Mr. Work commended Mrs. Tubbs’ Spade bid, but did not wish that statement to be regarded as a precedent for bidding ten-high suits. In this case the declarer was justified only by the extraordinary type of hand held by Mrs. Tubbs. Technically, her hand was a No Trupiper, with more than the required high-card strength, and three suits stopped according to the definition of stopped suits. Ten-high suits are generally not considered stopped, but obviously in this case Mrs. Tubbs had no fear that a great number of Spades could be run against her; so actually she had four suits stopped in addition to a surplus of strength. The hand would be played the same at Contract, but the bidding would begin and end with a call of four Spades by Dealer. DENY RIVERA RESIGNS Premier of Spain Will Remain at His Post. United Press MADRID. Jan. I.—Denials were made today from official sources that Primo de Rivera had resigned as premier of Spain. Meantime, it was learned that when and if he retires from his post in charge of Spain's destinies, it will be merely a formality for. less than a month ago, he advised the United Press that he intended to resign as scon as a successor is found. While his observations Tuesday, hinting at important alterations in the Spanuish regime, were regarded as remarkable, it was said that they did not constitute a resignation in themselves.

CHICAGO THRILLED BY TWO HOOSIERS

Attempt to Buy Steel Vests Puts Police on Trail. Bit United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. I.—With bullet-proof vests laid aside, G. L. Potter, Lafayette banker and manufacturer, and his attorney, Charles H. Robertson, are back at their homes here today after being chased and later arrested in Chicago as bandit suspects. Recently the two local men were in Chicago and inspected some property owned by Potter. They found an instance of lease violation. The tenant, when the matter was called to his attention, became angry and spoke of somebody “maybe getting bumped off.” Potter and Robertson, on returning to Chicago, decided to equip themselves with steel vests for another conference with the tenant. They tried to buy the armor from a Chicago company, but lacked money enough to pay for it. They left the store, but later telephoned asking delivery of the vests. Company representatives, suspecting two bandits were preparing to protect themselves, notified police. They assigned an officer to pose as the delivery man. He brought the

NOISE, DRINKING USHER IN 1930 IN INDIANAPOLIS Celebration in City Seldom Wetter; Merrymaking Well Organized. Din and gin greeted the New Year in Indianapolis. Midnight found the citizenry of the Hoosier capital undergoing a severe attack of merry-making and “came the dawn” to greet groups of tired revelers, nursing headaches. Never was a New’ Year celebration, more noisy and seldom wetter, it was agreed. Well organized mirth prevailed in clubs, theaters, cases and dance halls in and near the city. Indianapolis Athletic Club New Year party participants were treated to a trip through "Never Never Land” by Peter Pan. a beautifully costumed and well-staged fantasy. Three Orchestras Play Some 1,590 members and guests took part in the celebrations in ballrooms, dining rooms and suites of the Columbia Club. Three orchestras were on hand to provide music. The Elks Club had an eight-course dinner, followed by dancing until dawm. Sahara Grotto members celebrated at the Hotel Severin. There were thousands of private parties in homes and cases, large public dance carnivals at the Indiana and Lyric ballrooms and midnight performances at many theaters . Resolutions in Order At the stroke of 12. bells rang out, guns were fired, noLse makers started working with greater zest and non-refillable bottles were shattered and dismissed from service. The night wore on and drinking and dining dancers w’ore out. Today resolutions were in order despite the advice of professors to the contrary. Many sober citizens solemnly went to church. Many churches had their own watch parties during the night and welcomed the New Year with carols. REALTY COMMITTEES 'SELECTED FOR SHOW Home Complete Exposition Will Be Held April 5-12. Members of two committees to conduct contests in connection with the ninth annual home complete exposition of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, to be held April 5 to 12, at the Indiana State fairground, were announced Tuesday by TANARUS, E.

vests to the Hoosiers, but refused delivery when they tried to pay for them with a check. Two other officers were stationed outside to make the arrests. There was some talk about Potter being Fred R. Burke, much wanted bandit killer. The Hoosiers and the delivery man-officer went to a bank to get money for the vests. The other police trailed them, and picked up reinforcements on the way. Shortly after leaving the bank, the officers closed in on the decoy and his prey. Explanations followed, and Potter and Robertson were advised that in future it would be well for them to deal with tenants on a basis not requiring steel vests.

TRIO LOST IN CANYON BLAME FAG LIGHTER Lack of Matches Is Costly to California Youths. Bv Vnited Press LOS ANGELES, Jan. I.—Three youthful hikers made two New Year’s resolutions as they rested after being lost sixty hours on the canyon-gashed slopes of Mount Wilson. The first resolution was that hereafter they’ll stay on frequented trails and the second was that they’ll carry matches in addition to cigaret lighter. A lighter that failed to work at the crucial moment deprived them of a fire as they wandered without food until rescued Tuesday. The three—Celia Caplan, Jack Schwartz and Lawrence Kotkin—were recovering today from their experience, none much the worse.
