PAYS--AND HEAVILY-T 0 SEE ROOSEVELT RITES Inauguration Costs State Senate Employe AH His Clothes. E. J. Curtis, assistant sergeant-at-arms in the senate, paid heavily to see President Roosevelt inaugurated. In the first place lie took four days off from his senate labors. Then he drove down to Washington alone in his coupe and was halted three times for speeding in Maryland. Arrivin gat last, he parked his suitcase, with all clothes except those he wore to the capitol ceremonies and also his extra money, in his hotel room. Returning, he found that all was lost. He went to the District of Columbia police where he stood in line while fifty others reported similar occurrences. Curtis once was a policeman in Lafayette and a police chief in Florida. Today he is back in the senate with his blue suit. It’s not a police uinform but it is the one he had on when he saw the President inaugurated. Its all he has, he says. HAGAN IS MANAGER Jimmy i Whiter) Hagan, formei University of Pittsburgh football star, has been named graduate manager of the school’s athletic activities. “PROFESSOR" ELBERFELD Norman (Kid) Elberfeld, former big league ball player, is conducting a baseball school in Chattanooga Term.

SPOTLESS RECORD Herb Pennock, veteran Yankee pitcher, has taken part in five world serie* contests and has won them all. RACE SEASON NEAR Commencing on May 22, Chicago will have continuous horse racing at either Washington. Lincoln, Arlington or Hawthorne parks until Oct. 14.
BANK HOLIDAY 1 FIRST IN ALL U, S, HISTORY Drastic Step Never Taken in Course of Nineteen Major Slumps. BY JOHN T. HAWKINS Times Financial Editor For the first time in the history of the United States, banks ol the nation have been closed by presidential proclamation. Throughout a series of nineteen major depresssions and panics, this drastic step never has been employed to readjust the financial I workings of the nation, according to financial histories. Only three times, has the gola movement of the country been interfered w’ith by federal orders, j Shortly after the Civil war the i United States treasury refused to I redeem treasury certificates in gold and during the panic days of the j 90s an embargo was placed for a ! short time on gold, preventing its j shipment to foreign countries. In j 1913 the last embargo was placed on ! gold by the late President Wilson. First financial collapse of a major part of the country occurred in 1783 to 1789, when the treasury of the young states ran ahead of receipts and paid out more than the income of that period. New Law Is Set Down The result was money issued with insufficient backing and a general scramble for gold. This panic resulted in the convention of 1787 and the formation of anew Constitution which became the law of the nation in 1789. Land speculation in the western states of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan brought on the next great 1 financial upheaval in 1837. With i opening up of new lands, speculators ran wild. Small banks had been opened solely for the purpose of aiding the speculators. The panic of 1873 affected every branch of industry and finance in the United States. An enormous j expansion of railway construction! had taken place with its effects reaching all allied industries. Credit was stretched to the limit to provide working capital for new industries. Situation Is Relieved The situation finally was relieved by the secretary of the treasury issuing $28,000,000 of legal tender notes for the purchase of government bonds. With the beginning of Cleveland's second term in 1893 the country was in the grip of severe depression. Silver was being demonetized by leading nations of the world and gold at a premium. Production in all lines of industry was at a standstill. One hundred: fifty-six railways went into the hands of receivers. Labor strikes! and riots were general. Coxey's! march on Washington was one of ■ the highlights of the period. Defla- j tion and writing off the loss ; eventually brought order to the: financial centers of the nation. Speculation Gets Blame Speculation was the cause of the; crash of 1907. The big banks ofj the country had overexerted them-| selves in extending credit. Bank reserves showed deficits. Resources! of the New' York banks were strained to the limit. In October, 1907, the Knickerbocker Trust Company of New York failed, followed by other trust companies. Banks whose ultimate resources were with these banks collapsed. There were almost no monetary payments throughout the nation except through clearing house j certificates. Then came the depression of 1921, which was short lived and marked by labor outbreaks. The stock crash of 1929 completes the list of economic upheavals until the present situation.

LORD’S PRAYER REVISED House Alters It to “Forgive Us Our Debts.” Legislative notice of stringent financial conditions was taken in the house of representatives today. Ln lieu of a prayer from the rostrum by a minister, Speaker Earl Crawford directed house members to repeat the Lord's prayer, using the vers on “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,” rather than “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Shortly afterwards, the Speaker announced that arrangements had been made in the state treasurer's office for cashing salary checks of members, “so you'll have enough money to get out of town.”

| Contract Bridge
BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge Lea,rue WHEN holding the king, queen and ten of the opening leader’s suit, in playing the hand at no trump, you are confronted with two different holdup problems, depending upon which way you must take a finesse in another suit. Take for example the following hand. South, playing the hand at three no trump, will get the diamond opening from West, w*ho will open the fourth best of that suit. East will play the jack, and before playing to the trick, the declarer must analyze the hand. He can see four sure spade tricks, one diamond, a sure heart trick and a sure eclub trick—seven in all. To make his contract, he must take the club finesse. With the ace and queen of clubs in dummy, he must finesse to the East hand; therefore, when East plays the jack on the first diamond lead, the declarer must hold up and refuse to win the trick, playing the seven. When East returns the nine of diamonds, declarer will play the queen, and if West wins the trick with the ace and returns another diamond, declarer will win the trick with the king. He then will take his club finesse and East will have no other diamond to return. His natural return will be a heart, and South must not finesse, but must go right up with his ace. a tt a Now let us suppose that it is South who holds the ace and queen of clubs. West still would open a diamond.

The declarer now holds the ace of clubs and the club finesse must be taken toward the West hand—in other words, toward the hand which holds all the diamonds. The declarer in this case must win the first trick with the queen of diamonds, enter dummy with a spade, return a club and take the finesse. Even if West does hold the king. South still holds the king and one
Confidence Is Voiced by City’s Leading Bankers
Financiers Express View That Roosevelt Acted With Wisdom. Bankers of Indianapolis, tired from days and nights of work, today expressed confidence that the fourday bank moratorium ordered by President Roosevelt will lead to readjustment of the national situation. Elmer W. Stout, president of the Fletcher American National bank, who has been in the midst of the local banking battle for days, said that the President “is to be commended for his promptness in acting in the pn ,*nt financial situation.” “It is apparent that he has realized the condition of the United States and it is gratifying to know that the administration expects to enact legislation to stabilize business in this country.” Arthur V. Brown, president of the Indiana National bank and the Union Trust Company, termed the
diamond, which has the suit stopped with West in the lead, although it is not stopped if East were to get in the lead. The original hand—with North holding the ace of clubs—also embodies another interesting holdup. Suppose that West opens the five of diamonds. East plays the jack. Declarer would hold off and play the seven. Now when East returns the nine of diamonds, South will play the queen and West can employ a pretty holdup by refusing to win this trick. The declarer now will finesse the club, East will win with the king and will return the six of diamonds. South must play his king, West will win with the ace and cash two good diamonds, in this manner defeating the declarer’s contract. In this case the declarer attempted to make the hand by employing the holdup, but West countered with another holdup, which defeated the contract. Don’t be too anxious to win a trick just because you hold high cards. It may be far better bridge to lose a trick now to gain several later on. (Coovrleht. 19.33. bv NEA Service. Inc.)

GRAIN FUTURES TRADING HALTS FOR FIRST TIME Record of 85 Years Broken as Moratorium Stops Operations. />.’/ Vnitrd prr.cx CHICAGO, March 6 —The world's ! greatest grain pits and the financial pivot of the nation’s vast farm markets were at a standstill here today. Only the Chicago livestock market and cash grain dealings remained open in the face of the bank crisis. For the first time in eighty-five years futures traders were silenced in the Chicago Board of Trade. But while financial and lawmaking leaders fought courageously to | meet the critical situation, the conquering spirit of America bulwarked I the man on the street. In the sec- ! ond largest financia’ center of the country there was a calm that belied the tense period. Optimism and hope for anew deal routed all traces of panic. The ordinary citizen caught what humor there was in the situation and waited for the solution he felt sure was near. Bankers Act Quickly Chicago bankers acted quickly for immediate relief. They arranged to open a central cash station in the National Bank of the Republic. Thirty-five windows were lined with clerks ready to hand out change for large bills. Bankers felt this would solve the city’s immediate pressing problem—circulation of money. Charles Schulze, president of thp Chicago Livestock Exchange, planned to continue buying uninterrupted. He said checks or certificates would be given packers, to be cashed when the crisis passes. Except where dealings were on cash basis, movement of grains, flour, provisions and commodities virtually were paralyzed. Market leaders anticipated, however, that within a few days trading would resume either on a scrip or certificate basis. In La Salle street, second only to Wall Street as a money mart, all stock transactions were halted. Bankers calmly conferred on means ; and methods of rehabilitating their ; institutions. Two of the city’s outj standing financiers, Melvin Traylor. ! president of the First National j bank, and James Leavell, president ! of the Continental Illinois National | bank, wore in Washington conferring with Secretary of the Treasury Woodin. Await President's Word Officials of the federal reserve lent their counsel and authority to individual bankers. Governor Henry Horner, who Friday night declared the Illinois banking holiday, left, for Washington after a final parley with bankers. Downtown merchants, both large and small, offered various solutions of continuing trade. Some issued goods on credit. Others resorted to scrip. Tickets for sporting events were sold for personal checks. Several national chain stores which previously have operated strictly on a cash basis, said they would decide tonight whether they would extend credit. Machinery for issuing Chicago clearing house certificates was geared for immediate action. Officials av'aited, however, word from Washington or New York indicating what national policy would be adopted.
