JACOBY WALKS OUT OF BRIDGE DUEL, ANGERED Tired of Being ‘Bawled Out’ by Lenz, He Bolts Match in Huff. By United preen NEW YORK. Dec. 29. Oswald Jacoby, six foot bridge star, proved that all other contract players arc brothers under the skin when he .Japped on his stovepipe hat Monday night, swept up his walking riick and stamped out of the Wal-dorf-Astoria with the declaration that Sidney Lenz will have to get anew partner in the CulbertsonLenz epic bridge battle. Jacoby was mad. Just plain, downright mad. “Mr. Lenz,” he said, rising from the table at the close of Monday night’s session, “in hand 602, after making an absolutely stupid defensive play, you had the nerve to criticise me publicly for my bidding. I resign as your partner.” And Jacoby stalked out of the playing room, where he and Lenz, in spite of their bickering, had knocked 250 points off the Culbertson lead. Culbertson Beams Ely Culbertson stood in the corridor and beamed. Mrs. Culbertson, v.ho returned to the contest after an absence of fourteen days, retired, ,'idy-like, to her hotel. In an ante-room reporters cornered Jacoby. “On several occasions,” he said, ■ Mr. Lenz has barked criticisms at me. They invariably have been baseless. They have come at a i ime when he has made an error, end when he wants to cover up by bawling me out. I don’t mind critism when I’m wrong, but I can’t put up with this sort of thing. "Mr. Lenz is an older man than myself and he has been stirred up y this match. I’m sorry it had to i nppen." Lenz, a bit cagey, announced iter: “Ozzie and I have found that our yles of bidding don’t agree, so ■ ve decided to end our partner- . hip.” Jacoby May Return That was the way things stood when Ozzie came down the corridor, headed for the nearest exit. His “ghost writer” jerked him into a room, got Lenz inside and locked the door. After ten mil ates, a statement came from Jacoby: “I have submitted my resignation to Mr. Lenz. It is up to him.” Lenz came through with a statement: “I will have anew partner tomorrow night and for several additional sessions. Jacoby will return to the match later.” It was rumored Commander Winfield Liggett would be across the table from the veteran Sidney tonight. First indication of a serious rift in the Lenz-Jacoby combination came during the next to the last rubber Monday night. Lead Is 16,840 Points “Ozzie,” said Sidney, sharply, • why do you make such rotten bids? You’re having a lot of fun in this game, it seems to me. Why don’t you let me bid once in a while?” Jacoby bit his lip and did not answer. It was at the end of that rubber that he had his say. Lenz said: “Well, come on; let’s play another rubber before we quit.” “Not with me, you don’t!” snapped Jacoby, hopping up from the table. The referees ruled in favor of another rubber, however, and Jacoby stayed on until it was finished before announcing his decision to quit. The players finished the one hundred third rubber during the session, with the Culbertsons leading by 16,840 points. They started the evening 17,090 points ahead.

PERSIST IN EFFORT TO USE THERM SYSTEM I'tility Firms Assert Abandonment Means R venue Loss. Once more the Northern Indiana Public Service Company seeks to retain the therm system of gas billing in northern Indiana cities, although it has been ordered twice to abandon it bj the public service commission. In a petition filed with the commission, it points out that due to the high B. T. U. content of gas serviced by the company in Michigan City, Valparaiso, Chesterton, Porter and other communities the therm system must be retained to prevent revenue loss of at least $85,000. This would mean unlawful confiscation of property, the petitioners contend. The property is part of the Insull organization. LAW REVISION IS URGED Accountant Declares Creditors Should Name Receivers. Proposal that state laws be revised to permit creditors to name receivers, as is done under federal statutes, was made by Stanton A. Phillips, accountant, in a talk befos* the Irvington Republican Club Monday night. The club will install its new officers Monday night. They are Harold Keallng. president; the Rev. M. S. Marble, first vice-president; Edward J. Hecker Sr., second vicepresident; Phillips, secretary, and Alfred M. Hogston, treasurer.

Adams, 24, Negro, who was killed as he ran screaming across the big prison yard toward a row of cell blocks. Seven of the wounded were fellow convicts and the other was a guard, dropped by the fusillade fired at the Negro. The prison was thrown into confusion by the outburst and for a time, it was feared a wholesale break might ensue. Shouts of wall guards as they fired at the Negro mingled with the cries of terrified prisoners running from the bullets that raked the yard.

third In each case was a gift of considerable value. Rockefeller made merry with the younger crowd and applauded loudly wh°n scores sang “better times are coming." But the high point of the evening's fun came when the host was given a mechanical goose by a relative. Guests of previous Christmas parties noted that Rockefeller gave a mass farewell instead of the usual personal greetings and a “good night” to those leaving.
