COAST GUARD IS ‘WHITEWASHED’ IN DRY DEATHS Rhode Island Grand Jury Votes No Indictments in Black Duck Case. B't United Prr*f PROVIDENCE, R. L, Jan. 15. The crew of the coast guard patrol boat. CO-290 was not responsible for the Black Duck rum killings, so far as the Prov.dence county grand jury is concerned. After seventeen witnesses. Including Charles R. Travers of Fairhaven, Mass., captain and sole survivor of the rum runner Black Duck, had testified, the Jury Tuesday night arrived at a verdict of “no bill." Thus the state of Rhode Island ended its summary investigation of the killing of the three members of the Black Duck's crew by machine gun fire in an encounter with the CG-290 at the mouth of Narragan&ett bay Dec. 29. Four Boats in Fight Bit United Pn m NEW LONDON, Jan. 15.—Another suspected rum-running speedboat may have been sunk by patrol boat CG-241 at the same time its sister ship, CG-290 fired on the rum runner, Black Duck, and killed three of its crew of four. It was admitted at coast guard headquarters that coast guard patrol boats have been searching Narragansett bay for some days for traces of the rum runner. Both the CG-241 and CG-290 engaged in a four-boat “melee” in the early morning fog of Dec. 29, when the Black Duck was raked by machine gun fire, it was learned from Lieutenant R. C. Buell of the coast guards. Reluctant at First Buell at first was reluctant to admit that the real object of the search of coast guard boats in Narragansett bay was for possible wreckage and not for “weapons that might have been throw r n overboard by the Black Duck.” “I have heard the report,” he said at first. Finally, alter being questioned further, he said: "Yes—it’s true our boats are looking for possible wreckage from a nun-runner which was .fired on by CG-241 at the time the Black Duck was sunk. There were four boats in the melee—our patrol boats 241 and 290 and two suspected rum runners Ignored Signals "Almost at the same time the 290 fired on the Black Duck the 241 fired on another speedboat, which, like the Black Duck, did not respond to our signals. “It was foggy. After the firing from the 241 the second speedboat was swallowd up in the fog. We do not know whether it escaped or was sunk. Our boats have been looking for possible wreckage from It. and they are doing plenty of looking. “No official report has been made of the firing by the boatswain of the 241.” Both the 290 and 241 were said to have been posted at the entrance cf Narragans V- bay on the nights of Dec. 28-29. The coast guards had received a tip that a “big haul” rum-running attempt would be made during the heavy fog.

Jan. 15—A plea of guilty on a charge of embezzling more than $5,000 from the postofflee at Monticello was entered in federal court here by Ben Price, former postmaster.

Doffing the mayor’s toga for a fur-lined flying suit with helmet and goggles, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan took wings Tuesday to survey swollen White river from an airplane of the One hundred thirteenth observation squadron, Indiana National Guard. Major Richard F. Taylor, squadron commander, piloted the ship which followed the river’s winding course to Noblesville and returned in forty-five minutes, “The most wonderful experience of my life,” was the mayor’s comment on his first flight. The inset pictures the mayor as he “took off” in the open plane. Always on the mayor’s heels, newspaper men followed in three other planes.

Expert Players Clash in Radio Bridge Game

THE ninth of Milton C. Work’s radio bridge games, broadcast Tuesday from Station WFBM, brought together as contestants noted Bridge players from widely separated parts of the country. The players, whose Bridge fame extends far beyond their own cities, were: Mrs. Campbell D. Edgar, Bremerton, Wash.; Mrs. C. E. Traver, Salt Lake City, Utah; L. D. Hinman, Enid, Okla., and Walter F. Dwyer. Philadelphia. They were dealt these hands: Mrs. Edgar, dealer. South: Spades, A, 10; hearts. A, 10, 7,2; Diamonds, A, J, 9,7, 6. 3; Clubs. A. Dwyer, West: Spades, 8,6, 3; Hearts, Q, 5, 4; Diamonds, Q, 10, 2; Clubs, J, 9, 6, 2. Mr. Hinman, North: Spades, K. J. 7,4; Hearts, K, 9,8, 6; Diamonds, K, 4; Clubs, Q, 4,3. Mrs. Traver, East: Spades, Q, 9,5, 2; Hearts, J, 3; Diamonds, 8,5; Clubs, K, 10, 8,7, 5. Mrs. Edgar, South, with a hundred Aces, opened the auction with one No Trump. She had a strong Diamond bid, also, but thought the No Trump offered a better chance for game. Dwyer, West, passed, and Hinman, North holding a King or Queen in each suit, bid two No ! Trump, with the purpose of shut- \ ting out a possible lead-directing bid by East. After North's jump, East, South and West passed, making Mrs. Edgar, South, the Declarer, with ; her contract two No Trump. Opening the play, Dwyer, West, led the Deuce of Clubs, the fourthbest of his only four-card suit, and the only conventional lead in his hand. From Hinman's hand, which went down as Dummy, Declarer played the Trey of Clubs. Mrs. Traver, East, knew from the Deuce lead that her partner had opened a four-card suit, since short i suits are not opened against a No ; Trump: consequently she saw, as j she herself had five Clubs and Dummy three, that Declarer could have only one Club . . . doubtless the Ace. inasmuch as conventional i original No Trumps seldom are bid with a worthless singleton. But to prevent the possible winning of the first trick with a low club in case Declarer did have a low singleton, ! East played her 10 of Clubs, holding her King over Dummy’s Queen. De- : clarer won with the Ace of Clubs. mum DECLARER knew that her only danger lay in a Club lead by West if East had the King. In that i case. East and West could run four I Club tricks, which, with the trick that gave them their entry, would make a total of five, costing Declarer her game. | Declarer could count seven sure tricks for herself . . . two each in Hearts, Spades and Diamonds, besides the Club she already had won. To establish the Diamonds, in order | to make the two additional tricks j needed for game, it seemed advisi able to lead the suit from North I for a finesse: but if that finesse lost : it would let West in for the dreaded 'Club lead. Therefore Declarer planned to try : for two extra tricks in Spades and | Hearts, leading both suits from ! South and doing all finessing in 1 Dummy, so that if either adversary won, the trick would be captured by the harmless East and not the dangerous West hand. Declarer could as* for nothing I better than a Club lead from East up to North’s guarded Queen. Declarer then put her plan into effect, leading the Ace of Spades | from the South hand to trick two. i West played the Trey, Dummy the 4, and East the Deuce. Declarer I continued with the 10 of Spades, West played the 6, Dummy the 7, and East won wtih the Queen. East, however, was not willing to lead Clubs up to Dummy's Queen. She preferred the lead to come from West through Dummy’s Queer., so that she could capture it with her King. The Diamond suit seemed to offer the best chance to put West in the lead, so East led the 8 of

Diamonds to trick four. South, with the 9-7 fourchette, played the 9; West played the 10, forcing Dummy’s King, which won the trick. mum PURSUING her policy of keeping the lead out of the West hand, Declarer shifted to Hearts, leading Dummy’s 6. East played the Trey, Declarer the Ace and West the 4. Declarer than led her Deuce of Hearts, West played the 5, Dummy the 8 and East the Jack. To East, the continuation of the Diamonds seemed the only chance to save game. Declarer probably had Spades and Hearts set up, ar.d a Club lead was opened to the same objections as at trick four. Therefore, East led the 5 of Diamonds, South played the Ace, taking no chances on letting West in with the Queen; West played the Deuce and Dummy the 4. Declarer next led the 7 of Hearts, winning In Dummy with the King. West played the Queen and East discarded the sos Spades. Declarer then cashed Dummy’s King and Jack of Spades, on which two tricks East played the 9 of Spades and 5 of Clubs. Declarer discarded the Trey and 6 of Diamonds, and West played the Bof Spades and 6of Clubs. To trick eleven. Dummy led the 9 of Hearts; East discarded the 7 of Clubs; Declarer played the 10 of Hearts, and West the 9 of Clubs. Declarer then led the Jack of Diamonds, which West won with the Queen, Dummy and East each discarding their low Club. West led the Jack of Clubs to the last trick, which East won with the King. Mrs. Edgar, the Declarer, won In all three Spade tricks, three Hearts, two Diamonds and one Club . . . a total of nine tricks and game, for which she scored 30 below the line, and 100 above the line for her four Aces in one hand.

GERMANY TAKES PART !N WORLD BANK AT HAGUE Main Conference Protocol Due for Signatures This Week. BY SAMUEL DASHIELL Fnited Press Staff Correspondent THE HAGUE, Jan. 15.—Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank, today officially accepted revision of the protocol of The Hague reparations conference, to require participation of the Reichsbank in the bank for international settlements. The main protocol may be signed this week. The crisis produced by the Reichsbank president's temporary refusal to permit his institution to participate in the World bank was short lived, and it left Dr. Schacht still indignant. Nevertheless, it is believed he will continue as head of the Reichsbank. If he takes a recalcitrant attitude, his German opponents wil pass laws in Berlin to curb his power. Dr. Schacht said that inclusion of a law in the Young plan protocol, legalizing the Reicjisbank’s participation, naturally would force the directorate of the bank to follow that decision after the Reichstag has ratified the protocol. Dr. Schacht is insistent that the present Young plan is not worked out in the spirit intended by Owen D. Young; that it “lacks confidence.” As is shown by the French insistence on military guarantees. He claims, furthermore, that it is a contract between participants who voluntarily ignore Germany’s private property claims amounting to 15,000,000 pounds sterling. in Turn Your Back on Wash Day!
