The reporter, a sympathetic soul, felt a twinge. Think of all the Chinese in China, all the Chinese in America, all the Chinese in Washington! What sor- row they must feel! Like the Confed- erates when Grant took Richmond or the Colonials when the British sacked Washington. There would be Wing Lee, the Chinese laundryman in the 3900 block of Four- teenth street. There would be no joy that night for Wing Lee. Mighty Chin- chow has fallen The reporter wondered if the faithful laundryman would keep his shop open. He wouid stop and see—perhaps con- sole the Oriental, for the sphinx-faced fellow might even have some relatives in old Chinchow. Wing Lee was ironing when the re- porter arrived. Occasionally he would Jook up and peer out through the plate glass window. His face bore no lines of sorrow—just the same aloofness. “We never reveal our deepest hurts,” the reporter platitudinized. Poor Wing Lee! His slippers flap-flapped on the floor as he glided through his world of soiled cuffs and collars up to the counter. Sympathy Appears Wasted. The reporter swallowed a lump in his throat. What could he say? Something to show real understanding, real sym- Eathy Something to take away the urt—to be consoling throughout the brooding during the coming hours, by the blump-blump sound of the iron. “Wing Lee—" he began. The laundryman grinned mirthlessly. He's brave, the reporter thought. “Wing Lee, it's certainly too bad. don’t know exactly what to say . . . he paused hopefully. The Oriental's expressicn didn't change. Maybe the old fellow hadn't heard. “Wing Lee,” he tried again. i sorry. 1 suppose heard——" “Something wrong?” the old Chinese queried with an effort at sympathy. “Oh, you haven't heard then. The Japanese took Chinchow today. The Chinese army fiad to give in to them.” ‘The ancient enigma in the Oriental's face deepened. He didn't understand “Your people have lost an important | city to the Japanese. Chinchow has surrendered. Don’t you read the news- papers?” “Nah,” Wing Lee grunted, unaffected. “Didn’'t you have any relatives in Chinchow, Wing Lee. Didn't you leave any of your family there when you came to America?” Never Saw China, “Nah!” grunted Wing Lee. The Chinese turned his back with a rather definite air of disgust. “Me never in China. Me born in America.” The sympathy in the reporter’s heart turned almost to hate. Wing Lee didn't have to be so unconcerned. After all, he had almond-shaped eyes, crisp, black hair, and an enigmatic face. The re- porter turned and stalked out of the shop. Disappointment spread over him like a consuming ache, It wasn't fair. Wing Lee should be sad. He paused. There was Benjamin Lee & few blocks down the street. ? That didn't sound Chinese. But he'd try. Benjamin Lee looked bored at the reporter’s graphic account of the Man- churian situation. “I more intelested in dirty shirts” the Chinese said, with just a touch of what sounded. to the reporter like a New rk accent. yoon down Fourteenth street then. He would find a Chinese who was sad, a patriotic Chinese who would perhaps throw his chest out and declare, * my people liberty or give me death Sing Lee confessed to an American birth. “I'm you've One Place Forbidding.

DARR DIES AT AGE OF 70 Attorney and Leader in Civic Affairs Succumbs to Heart Ailment. Charles William Darr, Washington attorney and for years a leader in civic and fraternal affairs here. died early yesterday at his home, 3512 Rit- tenhouse street Mr. Darr, who was 70 years old, suc- cumbed to a heart ailment that in recent months had forced his retire- ment from active law practice and social life. Members of his family were at the bedside when he died Requiem mass will be celebrated in the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in honor of his memory at 9 am. to- morrow. Private burial will take place at Laurel, Md Mr. Darr was president of the Wash- ington Chamber of Commerce from March, 1920, when he succeeded the late Ivan C. Weld, until October, 1930, having been re-elected at the annual meeting in October, 1929. Previously he had been second and first vice president in 1926, 1928 and 1929. Leader Among Laymen. Early this year Mr. Darr, a leader among Roman Catholic laymen, was chosen master of the Fourth Degree Assembly, Knights of Columbus, for the District and Maryland jurisdiction. He was a member of the Keane Coun- cil for 25 years and served as State deputy of the Knights for three suc- cessive terms. A firm believer in suffrage for the voteless District, the attorney was a leader in that and other movements for the betterment of conditions here. As head of the Committee on Police and Fire Protection and Public Safety of the Chamber of Commerce, he con- ducted investigations and made recom- mendations for improvements in these branches of the trade body's activity. Columbus University, of which Mr. Darr was president, will suspend classes today and tonight out of respect for him, it was announced by Fred J. Rice, chairman of its board of trustees. Mr. Darr also was a member of the Educa- tional Committee, in charge of the Knights of Columbus evening school. Convention Vice Chairman. Mr. Darr had an unusual political career. Always a staunch Democrat, he was vice chairman of the national convention in Chicago in 1892, and a delegate to Denver in 1908. In 1912 he had charge of President Wilson's pri- mary campaign in the District, and was a delegate to St. Louis in 1916. Mr. Darr was originator and chair- man of the homecoming celebration for President Wilson after the latter's re- election 1n 1916. He was vice chair- man of the Inaugural Committee the same year. During the fourth Liberty loan drive, Mr. Darr was an outstanding public speaker. He was vice chairman of the District “four-minute men” organiza- tion and was chairman of the Commit- tee on Meetings for the united war work campaign. With two sons in France, it was fitting that he played a prominent part in the reception given returning District soldiers. During the last presidential campaign he was presi- dent of the District “Al-Smith-for-Presi- dent” Club. Urged Gibbons Memorial. At the time of his death Mr. Darr was chairman of a Gommittee on the Erection of a Memorial to James Cardinal Gibbons in the public square in front of the Sacred Heart Church, Sixteenth street and Park road. He was one of the original advocates of this memorial, which is expected to be erected some time this year. Mr. Darr was born in Washington and educated in the public schools here, He was graduated from the school of law at Georgetown University in 1894 and was admitted to the bar the same year. In 1895 he received a degree of master of law from Georgetown, and a degree of doctor of law subsequently was conferred upon him by Gonzaga College. He also was a member of the bar of the United States Supreme Court, the District Court of Appeals and the State of Maryland. His son Sefton was afliated with him in law practice here. He was a leading spirit in the found- ing of the Sixteenth Street Highlands | state in Lee Chapel at Washington and | Citizens’ Association and was a member Lee University tonight. After funeral services at his home in | Baltimore today, the body will be sent | to Staunton, his birthplace, and from | there to Lexington.

NEW YORK, January 4.—Competi- tors in the contract bridge match will strive in the concluding session this week to get the most of their cards, al- though victory for Ely Culbertson's side is a foregone conclusion, in the opinion of neutral experts. There will be material for argument for the vanquished if Sidney S. Lenz and his new partner, Comdr. Winfield Liggett, jr., are able to reduce the deficit of Lent’s side to below what it was when Oswald Jacoby resigned as Lenz's partner in a dispute over bidding and play. With 30 rubbers left of the 150-rub- ber series Culbertson’s side is 20,220 points ahead. Of that lead 16,840 points were accumulated, while Jacoby was Lentz's partner and 3,380 points while the commander sat opposite Lenz. Ja&obl):, has played 103 rubbers and Lig- get A Likes Jacoby's Game. Culbertson expressed the opinion today that with a fair break in cards his lead would be increased rather than | reduced in the final sessions, tonight, tomorrow night and Thursday and Friday nights He estimated that Jacoby had been worth at least 10,000 points to Lenz. That is, if Jacoby had not been playing Culbertson would have 10,000 more plus. Culbertson would have been glad to have had Jacoby as a partner if Lenz had not chosen him. The Jady in the case has something at stake in this week’s play. In the 73 rubbers in which Mrs. Culbertson has been her husband’s partner the plus of Culbertson'’s side has been 3,540. Only two rubbers are necessary for her to complete the portion of the match which the contract stipulates she must play, half of it. But she intends to play throughout_tonight’s rubbers and the final session Friday night in the hope of making the lead acquired while she is at the table as large as possible. No Play Wednesday Night. Culberstson, who has had three part- ners already, will have two more this week. Michael Gottlieb will be oppo- site him tomorrow night and Howard Schenken Thursday night. There will be no play Wednesday night. Each of those partners will desire to make as good showing as possible. Here are the plus and minus of the match by partners: Rubbers played. 41 3 6 120 Culberston’s. Theodore A. Lightner.
