Women ’s Bridge So Good
They’re Given Tournament
Winners of the Barclay trophy f or two mixed teams at American
Mriage leagues summer tournam ent were (left to right): R. Frank
enstein, Mrs. Rose Fleischer, Mrs. A lexandcr and M. C. Cohen. Inset:
A. R. Coffin, who was high scor er among women.
CHICAGO, July 15.—UP)—Here is
something for harried males to
brood over. Women are threaten
ing their bridge laurels.
So deep have been the feminine
inroads into what once was man’s
exclusive province that the Amer
ican bridge league was forced this
summer to have a tournament es
pecially for them. Men found them
selves in the minority in the tourna
ment open to both sexes. Only a
few were men and they were, for
the most part, experts or teachers.
It was the first time women have
been permitted to play in a league
tournament and a closed women’s
tournament is an innovation also
but will be continued. Demonstrat
ing their skill, the women ran up
high scores against some of the best
men players in the country, such
as Wilbur C. Whitehead, R. R.
Richards, Shepard G. Barclay and
Robert W. Halpin, president of the
league.
The mixed team championship in
contract bridge was won by Hal
pin, Mrs. Sidney Level, Nils Web
ster and Mrs. M. K. Alexander,
president of the women’s branch
of the league, all of Chicago. Mrs.
A. R. Bingham of Indianapolis and
Mrs. J. F. Dalton of Chicago took
the prize for the special match for
womeh players. Mrs. A. R. Coffin
of Indianapolis had the high score
for women.
The Shepard D. Barclay trophy
for two mixed teams, playing as a
team of four, was captured by M.
M. Cohen, Mrs. Rose Fleischer, R.
Frankenstein and Mrs. Alexander,
all of Chicago. The J. O. Beards
ley trophy for mixed pairs went
to Mrs. Jessie Valton, Warsaw, Ind.,
and R. E. Needham of Greenville,
Pa.
portraying the principal roles In the
all-talking Fox Movietone special,
“Behind That Curtain.”
In addition to this international
combination of players Irving Cum
mings, director of the absorbing ro
mance that was a/i.pted from Earl
Deer Bigger s’ Scotlond Yard mystery
love, had a few dozen Arabs and
Hindus as camel-tenders and lug
gage bearers in the desert sequence.
Their high-pitched chatter and
campfire songs in their native
tongues to barbaric music, faithfully
reproduced by Movietone, is daily
demonstrated at the Rivoli theater
at San Benito.
Warner Baxter. Lois Moran and
Gilbert Emery, the featured players,
are the United States entries in the
cast, while Phillio Strange, who
plays the “heavy” role of Eric Du
rand. is an Englishman and his
compatriots In the company include
Claude King, Peter Gawthorne,
Finch Smiles and Jobn Rogers.
Montague Shaw, portraying Hilary
Galt, whose murder motivates the
storv, is a native of Adelaide, Aus
tralia. Boris Karloff is a Russian
and Jamiel Hassen is a Persian.
From Buenos Aires. Argentina,
comes Mercedes De Valasco, a seno
rita of flashing eves tvho has a
vampish role. During the filming
and recordine of the picture, dis
cussion of international problems
were barred.

CHINESE GIVEN
SOVIET DEMAND
Russian Ultimatum Carries
Hint of Retribution if
Terms Are Refused
MOSCOW, July 15.—(JP)—The
Chinese government, presumably,
has today and tomorow to comply
with Russian demands for settle
ment within three days of the crisis
presented by Chinese seizure of the
Chinese eastern railway.
If then the demands are not met,
an ultimatum delivered to the Chi
nese charge d’affaires Saturday
night said, the soviet union will be
compelled to resort “to other means
in defense of the legal rights.”
Moscow’s ultimatum was written
Saturday, and on Saturday night,
signed by L. M. Karakhan, vice
commissar for foreign affairs, and
former ambassador to China, it was
placed in the hands of S. M. Liao,
the Nanking government’s charge.
After warning vaguely or retrib
utive measures if China does not
acquiesce in its terras, the ultima
tum continued with an offer of the
Olive branch, saying that notwith
standing “violent and provocative
actions of the Chinese authorities,
Russia once more expresses its will
ingness to enter negotiations with
China regarding all questions con
nected with the Chinese eastern
railway.”
Immediate Release
The ultimatum then said such ne
gotiations would be possible only in
the event of immediate release of
arrested citizens of the soviet re
publics and cancellation of “all le
gal orders by the Chinese authori
ties”
The soviet government proposed:
First, to call a conference imme
diately to regulate all questions
connected with the Chinese eastern
railway question.
Second, that the Chinese authori
ties immediately should cancel all
arbitrary orders regarding the Chi
nese eastern.
Third, that all arrested citizens
shall be released Immediately and
that authorities cease all persecu
tion of soviet citizens and soviet
institutions.
Weigh Consequences
The note suggested that the Muk
den government and the nationalist
government at Nanking weigh the
serious consequences which rejec
tion of these proposals would have
and declaied it would wait three
more days for an answer. It warned
that if this answer was unsatisfac
tory the soviet would be compelled
to resort to other means.
Meanwhile all Russia resounded
with the cry of public agitation and
protest and indignation meetings at
the seizure of the Chinese eastern
by the Manchurian authorities and
the arrest and expulsion of Russian
railway officers, employes and othes*
citizens.
Workers’ meetings passed resolu
tions demanding prompt redress,
ending with such statements as “we
don’t want war, but if attacked we
will all tax one shoulder with a rifle
in defense of our proletarian father
land.”
TOKYO, July 15.—(A5)—The Jap
anese consul at Machuli, western
terminus of the Chinese Eastern
Railway, today said in a telegram
Japanese travelers arriving from
Siberia reported movements of Red
troops in trains was under way from
Karimskaya Junction eastward to
Chita and Manchuli.
A Rengo News Agency dispatch
from Harbin said the Chinese east
ern headquarters had announced
suspension of traffic across the bor
der in the direction of Vladivostok.
A passenger train leaving Harbin
Sunday night was stopped by Chi
nese authorities at Pogranichnaya.
A Rengo dispatch from Mamcn
huli said large bodies of Chinese
troops were moving toward the Si
berian border. Advices of Moscow’s
ultimatum to Nanking and Muk
den caused the utmost tension in
the city among the Chinese offi
cials. It was said troops were to be
seen at every station.

OPERATE ON
KING GEORGE
Seven Physicians Are In At
tendance For Abscess
Removal
LONDON, July 15.—(IP) — King
George was operated on successful
ly today for drainage of a small ab
scess remaining in his right chest.
Seven doctors came to Bucking
ham palace for the operation, and
the Prince of Wales drove over
from Frok York house, presumably
to be at the bedside of his father
in the event of emergency.
After the operation the doctors
issued the following bulletin:
“An operation has been performed
on his majesty, the king. Portions
of two ribs were removed in order
to be circumscribed. The abscess
is one and one-half inches across
and should be quickly drained and
treated. The condition if his maj
esty is satisfactory.
(Signed)
“SIR STANLEY HEWITT,
“PROFESSOR TROTTER,
“SIR FRANCIS SHIPWAY.
“LORD DAWSON OF PENN.”
While public anxiety had not been
excessive with regard to the opera
tion which it was known the king
would have to undergo today there
naturally was a feeling of great re
lief when the physicians statement
was issued reporting his majesty’s
condition W'as satisfactory after the
operation.
Because of the Improved state of
the king’s general health, he came
through the operation remarkably
well and it is hoped his recovery
from the effects of the operation
will be rapid.
Stress was laid on the fact that
although the operation was of a
bigger nature than would seem to
be indicated in Saturday's bulletin,
it was of a very different nature
from that of last December when
the king’s whole system was poi
soned. It was stated the king un
derwent the operation for the lo
cal trouble as an otherwise fit man.

ANNUAL SCOUT
CAMP TO OPEN
500 Valley Boys Expected to
Attend Outing at Camp
Perry in Two Groups
Scouts of the Valley are looking
forward with eagerness to the third
annual camp, which is scheduled to
open at Camp Perry, on the Arroyo
Colorado, Tuesday, August 7. Indi
cations are that there will be be
tween 450 and 500 Scouts in attend
ance, divided into two groups, the
first of which will open the camp on
August 7, and the second of which
will be in camp from August 20
to 30.
Individual troop activities on a
much larger scale than ever before
are to be featured this summer.
The usual training and educational
activities are to be held in the
mornings, when §uch subjects as
cooking, leathercraft, archery, swim
ming, life saving, forestry, animal
husbandry, etc., will be the order of
the program. The second and first
class requirements, which serve to
make a boy self reliant and inde
pendent, will also be taught during
this period. The afternoons are to
be taken up with whatever troop ac
tivities may be decided upon by the
Scoutmasters of the troops in at
tendance at camp.
One of the really big features of
every Scout camp is “details,” on
which every Scout serves at least
once. These details put the boys in
touch with all the requirements of
sanitation, and, in fact, all the ac
tivities of the administration of a
small city, and are said to consti
tute invaluable training.
Registrations for the camp are
being made through the various
Scoutmasters, and it is expected
that the camp will have a full 'ttg
istration by July 28, which is mhe
closing date for registrations fo? the
first period.
The camp staff has been added
to this year, and there will be a
number of experts in the various
lines of Scoutcraft and Scouting
education, so that every Scout will
have an opportunity to advance in
rank and usefulness.
