SHEPARD THE REVISED LAWS On Nov. 1, for the first time In the game's history, the same laws be came effective wherever contract torigde is played. I therefore shall discuss the new rules and scoring Just a word for those who have played only auction bridge, then we will take up the new code. In con tract, players score towards game only the number of tricks both bid and made Small slams and grand slams receive a bonus—huge ones too—only when both bid and made Contract bridge Is the only card game expressing the spirit of the times In speed, thrills and rewards proportionate to the skill displayed Game is 100 points score below the line for tricks bid and taken. A rubber ends when one side has won two games. The winners of tha rub ber are the pair storing the greatest number of points total. If you have been playing auction bridge, remem ber that an average rubber at con tract runs about twice as great as an average rubber at the old game. The side winning a game Is termed “vulnerable’, as penalties for going down count double against it. The ohject of fhis In to slow up bid ding for the vulnerable side, to allow the other side a better chance to even up the score. • * • As the new code was devised by players from Great Britain and France, as well as those here, several hew terms appear in the interna tional code, now played exclusively Schumann Music Club In Meeting The Schumann Music Club held a most enjoyable meeting last Wednes day afternoon with Miss Fannie Coop er at her home on West Garnett street.

A facial operation has changed her completely. She is ac companied by Rodotf llolmes, an ac tor. They have dinner together, but Kane does not mention Bailey's death, seeking to surprise Nanette. tie does by having the orchestra leader make the announcement pub licly. Nanette pales and declares that Bailey deserved what he pot. She tells Kane that she had left Bailey’s bungalow at 9 o'clock, the hour of the murder, and that he uas all right at that time. She and Bodolf leave and Kune goes to police head Quarters tchere Lillian llnll, Lucy WUbur and Larry Weldon, all movie folk, are be ing questioned.

The message teas that Nanette Le- Roi has been shot and A’ane and Lee. together with Lillian Hull go imme diately to her homo.

Then: •Tell me just what happened from the time you left the hotel until the shot was fired.” Holmes hesitated, but his eyes sever left Kane'a He seemed to be striving to recall Just what they had done, or perhaps whether to tell everything they had done. Finally: “It was near midnight when we left the hotel. We ” “By the way," Kane put in, “how did you happen to meet her at the hotel ?“ "Why, she telephoned me to meet her. She said that Bailey had thrown her over for the evening and asked me if I would come to the aid of a lady in distress ’’ “I see. Go on.” "It was pear midnight when we left the hotel.” Holmes began again. "Nanette was distressed over Bailey's —er—death. She wanted to come right home, but I persuaded her to let me take her for a short drive first. “There wasn't much traffic, so we drove out Wilshlr* boulevard to the beach, up to Santa Monica and then back here.

However, should the individual de signated have died between the date of the electors' own election by thetr respective states and the date assign ed to them by congress to cast their ballots (customarily the first of the year following election day), It is ob vious that they would not be blamed for regarding their instructions as i ihaving lapsed.

Kane asked sharply. "As I drove up I saw a man run out of the yard. He ran right past me and dodged across the street and disappeared.” Kane was Instantly alert. "What time was that?” "I should judge that It was about ten o’clock." I “Can you describe him?*' “It was dark," doubtfully. “But he seemed to be a young man. Ills clothes fit him badly. He wore a cap pulled down over his eyes. And be was as clumsy as a cow." "I see.” Kane said slowly. Be didn't say anything for some time. He sprawled there on the divan staring at the floor until: "But he was probably only seme prowler," Holmes added. "The-peo ple living here in Bm-erly Hills are Itothered frightfully with them." At that moment the chief emerged from Nanette's room. He was frown ing. “Phi wants to see you. Kane.” he snapped. Kane went in to Nanette. She was lying propped up In bed. Strangely, there was a deep color In her cheeks. Her eyes glistened. She smiled at him. “It was so good of you to come,” she said. He drew up a chair beside the bed. The doctor discreetly withdrew. When they were alone: "You found the three who were there tonight?" anxiously. “You mean at Bailey's?" She nodded. "They voluntarily surrendered," he told her. “It was so dumb of me not to tell you w-ho they were," sha went on. “But the news of Richard’s death was such a shock I—l just didn’t think of It.” Kane studied her frankly, openly. What did she know? How much did she know? What was she hid ing?* Or was she hiding anything? Theoc and a thousand other questions crowded themselves through his mind In that brief moment •’1 feel sorry for them,” she said.

Thar* was something tjfedlwnay la The proper procedure is clearly out lined by the constitution. In fact, the electoral college Would come more Itlerally Into its constitu tional own. in such a situation as the one suggested, than has be eh the case in the last three or four generations. This is on the supposition of the victorious party nominee’s death be fore the electoral college’s action in 'ratification of that partys nominat ing convention and the popular ver dict in his favor nt the subsequent election. Assuming the death of the presi dent-elect after action by the electoral college, but before inauguration day, a somewhat different situation would be created. ' It would present, nevertheless, no difficulties. It would present, nevertheless, no difficulties. The electoral college’s choice for the vice presidency would, regardless of the lack of a candidate In readiness to be sworn In as president, be entitled to assume the office for which he had been selected. the look she bestowed on him. Rut, undaunted, she went on: “Bailey was alone when I saw him last The two women and that |j»rr> Weldon were leaving when 1 got there." And then her cloak of self-control slipped from her. Her eyes flashes angrily and the color fled from hei countenance. “There was a scene." she related huskily. "He accused me of break ing in on him. I reminded him of our engagement and he slapped ma and told me to get out. that thereafter ours was to be a strictly business re lationship. “That was too much for me. Jere, there was never anything between us but a business relation. I swear it. But when he slapped me 1 saw red. 1 guess—l lost my head. I struck him with my fist.

Nanette Leßoi —at Judy Banning, as he knew her — Was an actress. She had been raised !■ the theater; acting had been a part of her daily life. But was she acting now? Or was she telling the truth? He looked at her through half closed eyes, waiting to see if there was anything else ahe wanted to eay. She bolted up In bed. She winced as a pain shot through her wounded shoulder. "You don’t believe me!” she screamed. "You don't believe me. 1 know yeu dsnl I con eee It la you r fate." • % He sought to calm her. ”1 do- be lieve you. Nanette," he said softly. She sank back In bed. “You don't," she sobbed. “1 can fead It in your eyes.” He caught her hand In hie. "Tee I do. Please believe in me. I wont to help you.” She gazed at him through drooping eyes. “May I see Rodolf?" the asked in a whisper. Without a word be arose had want to the door. She wanted Rodolf.

But the presidency would remain vacant. Such being the case, it would be the vice president’s duty to step into It immediately. He would be sworn in at once, name ■the members of his cabinet, who would be eligible to succeed him In the usual order secretary of state, secre tary of the treasury, and so on down the line, according to seinority. to and including the secretary of the interior —and the entire future of the admin istration would be dulty regularized. It is a fact that a problem would be presented bv the death of both the president-elect and the vice-presi dent-elect. after action by the electoral college but before inauguration day. Undoubtedly the hold-over president would summon congress into imme diate extra session to deal with it.
