BRIDCE SENAL UNE DRAMIN I TOURNEY Women Barred for Calling Authorities for Plays Across Table. By the Associated Press. ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 17—Tt may be perfectly correct to have a pre- arranged, but not publicized, signal sys- tem when playing bridge. Perhaps it is not outside propriety to inquire be- fore a game whether one plays Vander- bilt conventions. But when one is in & national championship it isn‘t safe to combine and shout such informa- tion. This was learned yesterday during | the American Bridge League fitle play. | two women being dismissed from | further play in the meet for using| “every system of contract.” | Bids “Vanderbilt Club.” | The names of the women dismissed were not made public, as was their of- fense. One of the women bid ‘“one ‘Vanderbilt club” after hands had been dealt. “Whitehead one spade takeout,” her partner returned. “Work two hearts bid,” rejoined the first Their opponents thereupon appealed to the judges, with the dismissal of the two unknown women following. They told the judges “the only perfect con- tract system is to use all systems at once.” Grand Slam Aids Finalists. The semi-finals yesterday saw a nd slam made by Lee Langdon and | Shichael .

CHINESE NATIONALIST ADVANCE CLAIM HIT Japanese Advices Report Severe Fighting 75 Miles From City Alleged Threatened. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAL July 17.—Nationalisf claims of an advance along the Tsing- tao-Tsinan Railway to within 10 miles of Tsinan, capital of Shantung, were discounted today when Japanese advices said severe fighting between government troops and rebels was going on near ‘Tzehotien, 75 miles east of the strategic city. The reports said as a result of hos- tilities in that area the Tsingtao-Tsinan Railway had been severed, stopping transportation of foodstuffs westward from Tsingtao and causing uneasiness among Japanese communities in the in- terior of Shantung. Japanese at Tsinan were said to have arranged for the importation of food- stuffs by way of Tientsin over the ‘Tientsin-Pukow Railway. F. L. WILLIAMS ELECTED LEGION OF VALOR HEAD George H.

By the Associated Pr MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 17.—The matter of a $52,000 loan protruded its presence upon the Clarence Saunders battleground yesterday, with the chain store man announcing he no longer con- sidered himself liable, while an attorney for interested bankers awaited instruc- tions how he was to go about collecting it either from Sounders or from the ;flnkrunt Clarence Saunders Stores, nc. Clarence Saunders Stores, Inc., and its units began operating yesterday under a receiver appointed at the re- quest of three creditors with claims ag- gregating $2,953. The receiver said each unit was worth at least $6,000. Saunders said the money was loaned fo the Clarence Saunders Stores, Inc., by a syndicate headed by the New York firm of Bertles, Rawls & Donaldson. He sald that in return for aid in an ex- pansion program he and the parent of all his chains, the Clarence Saunders Corporation, guaranteed the notes so long as no one except himself took any lel“l step to prevent fulfillment of the plans. Lovick P. Miles, attorney for Saun- ders, said that “in event” the receiver- ship prevented the expansion, Saunders and the Clarence Saunders Corporation would not be liable. Saunders said flatly the responsibility of both had ended. Walter Armstrong, attorney acting for the bankers, who objected to the receivership, claiming it jeopardized his clients, said he would make no move before hearing from New York. Saunders said that as a result of the negotiations control both of the bank- rupt chain and of Clarence Saunders Pacific Stores, Inc., operating in Cali- fornia, passed to him. He also said he controls the Clarence Saunders Corpo- ration. He said today that 327 stores bearing his trade mark, operated by the Clar- ence Saunders Pacific Stores, Inc., in California, and by other firms licensed by the Clarence Saunders Corporation, which holds all royalty rights, are not involved in the receivership, « TWO EXECUTED Convicted Slayer and Attacker of Woman Die in Oklahoma.
