MAINE’S SECRETARY
TOSSES BOMBSHELL
’NTO SPIRANTS
NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE
PART IN GENERAL
ELECTION
AUGUSTA, Maine, July 14 (TP).—
Ten would-be political candidates to
day are bemoaning the ruling which
eliminated them from taking part in
Maine’s general election in Septem
ber.
Maine's secretary of state has ruled
that the candidates did not properly
file their petitions for a place on the
ballot. Election authorities said the
ruling is backed by an opinion from
the Pine Tree state’s attorney gen
eral.
Among those excluded were three
candidates for United States sena
tor. They are Dr. d L. Noyes of
the Union party, Communist Daniel
Bishop and the woman candidate of
the Socialist party, Helen Knudsen.
William Hapgood, Communist, and
Socialist Frank Maxfield, find them
selves unable to run for governor of
Maine because of the ruling.
The other unfortunate aspirants
are Socialist and Farmer-Labor can
didates for state positions.
The secretary of state’s office ex
plained that the petitions were ruled
out because they did not carry
enough signatures or were not prop
erly certified.
SPARK IS BLAMED
FOR EXPLOSION
BALTIMORE, July 14 (TP).—Offi
cials believe today that the explosion
and fire in Baltimore last Saturday
which took four lives and injured a
dozen persons was set off by a spark
that ignited benzol fumes.
Benzol was being pumped into the
A. L. Webb warehouse at the time the
explosion destroyed It. The official
Investigation has not been complet
ed, but it is believed that a spark
from something scraping on the stone
floor of the building may have caused
the explosion.
A member of the Webb firm, 35-
year-old Charles Webb, is in a criti
cal condition today In Johns Hopkins
hospital. Doctors fear his name may
be added to the list of fire victims.

'‘shark leaps in boat
) AFTER bluefish
CATCH
1 LONK BRANCH, N. J„ July 14
, (TP)— Sixty-year-old Saul White had
a real fish story to tell the boys to-
. day. But hereafter, says White, he'd
. much rather let the other fellows tell
i about their experiences. For his ad
! venture came mighty close to being
. h's last experience—on land or sea.
Out fishing with his friend, Charles
I Dillione, White hooked a 10-pound
bluefish and hauled it to the surface.
A 500-pound shark had an eye on
the same catch. In an instant the
eight-foot shark had hurled itself into
the open skiff and began thrashing
about the stem of White s boat smash
ing everything within reach.
I White and his friend Dill.one es
caped injury and death only by leap
. ing to the top of the boat’s super-
I structure. For more than an hour
they watched the 500-pound shark
batter itself into unconsciousness,
fearful that at any moment a sweep
! of the shark's lashing tall might hurl
them overboard. .Everything turned
out alright, however.. The shark
knocked itself out after a long
struggle and finally was later de
’ stroyed with gaff hooks.
White says he isn't quite sure when
he wants to go fishing for bluefish
again.

PELHAM MANOR N. Y., July 14
■ (TP) —The skipper of the “Tooner-
I ville Trolley” will not have to strap
his passengers into their seats much
longer. The ticket rackety tracks,
made famous by cartoonist Fontaine
Fox. are going to be repaired and the
ancient “crate” will soon be rolling
along as smoothly as a transcontinen
tal plane.
Pelham Manor’s Third Averftle rail
way, the line which Fontaine Fox im
mortaized as the “Toonerville Trol

Travers Island. Last March, a pro
posal to substitute a bus line was
turned down by Pelham Manor resi
dents. They wanted to keep the old
“Toonerville Trolley,” but they did
ask that the roadway be made a little
less bumpy. Nothing has been done
about that yet, and now the town at
torney has been authorized to put the
pressure on the “Skipper”.
The attorney today is preparing a
demand that the trolley company
start repair work immediately.

The prosecutor who convicted
Luciano, Thomas E. Dewey, was

Dewey assigned two of his staff men
to the case. Their reports from Wash

for the prosecutor's attitude.

ADVENTURES OF JOE AND SUE
- By—
JOHN W. WESTON
At the Auction
They sauntered out all bedecked,
and now had a feeling like sitting on
the top of the world.
SUE was a distinct shock, eyes
cosmetically Ha tn ted, mouth a crim
son rosette, beneath her saucy chin
a perky bow, her pudgy figure, mold
ed into fabric of indiscriminate color
and design, iluminated with dazzling
jewelry that bore no Tiffany label,
she was almost incognito.
JOE stared at her wide eyed. “Is
you jes gone goofy?”
He displayed a checked suit, sporty
gay tie, and new calf casings that
creaked audibly as he strolled along
side.
A plate glass window commanded
their immediate attention. Many
people had collected and were elbow
ing around to investigate the brisk
operations of this enterprise.
“What’s goin’ on here?”
"I think thye’re holdin an auction,
let's shove in.” He steered her through
pushing amongst the motley crowd
was most exciting and bewildering.
Sue sniffed suspiciously an odor that
suffused the place.
“It’s the embalmed mummy, lady—
by the time it gets cold and clammy
that smell will be gone,” suggested a
het up bystander.
The auctioneer was announcing
rules and regulations relative to the
sale.
“Ladies and gents, we have here
an extraordinary collection of an
tiques—without delay—l will put up
this exquisite silver teapot once
owned by a king of France, Charley
the 10th, and used in his harem.
“What am I offered?”
From the rear end of the room
there re.ounded a squeaky vt>ice.
’ONE DOLLAR” was the lavish bid.

SOUTH WAS DUMB
I HAVE just been shown a hand

clarer was to detect the only play
that could yield him the small slam
undertaken. To a novice the strategy
will appear flawless, but a more ex
perienced player will wonder at
South's dumbness in not detecting
and frustrating declarer's intention.

Bidding went: West 2-No Trumps;
East, 3-Spades; West, 4-Spades; East,
4-No Trumps; West, 6-Spades, which
South doubled.
The opening lead was the K of
clubs. Dummy’s Ace won. North play
ed the 7 and declarer the 3. Declarer
at once saw that he must go down a
trick, unless a miracle intervened,
but he had to try for 6-odd. A low
spade from dummy was won with de
clarer’s 9. The next trick was taken
with dummy's Ace, but declarer dar
ed not lead a third round, as he had
to prepare for stripping hands ana
also wanted to ruff a heart in dummy.
He dared not risk a heart finesse
needlessly. Even if the finesse worked
it could not help the club situation,
as dummy still would hold two losing
clubs just as declarer did.
Declarer took his K and Ace of
hearts. Then declarer led his J of
hearts. South’s Q covered. Dummy
ruffed with the 4, holding the Q for
future uee. Six tricks had been run
off, and North still held the 8 ot
trumps but that could not pulled. De
clarer’s plan required that trump in
dummy as the sole hope of fulfilling
the small slam contract which optim
istic West had dared bid, although
East’s bidding had failed to show slam
expectations, or a very long trump
suit.
The seventh and eighth tricks were
won with dummy’s Ace and K oi
diamonds. Declarer completed the
hand stripping, by ruffing dummy’s
last diamond. Then came declarer’s
great adventure—his lone hope for
fulfillment of contract. The last four
cares held by each player are shown

you awful reckless?”—Did I hear
$1.25 offered for this pot, borrowed
by Mark Antony when he was spark
ing Cleopatra.”
•$1.50” cajoled a distant voice.
"Now ain't that to laugh? shall I
say $1.75 Sir. you over there?”
■ JOE bid on that, it’ll match my 5
and 10 cent stuff.”
"$2.00.” came with a bold flourish
from another eager spectator.
“JOE don't let that bozo take it.”
He made an advance offer at once.
“Goin’, goin', gone to the gent with
the bright wife.”
“Now here’s a beautiful etching
called, let me se, oh yes—The Six
teenth Madonna by Rubenstone.”
“For one'so young. I thnk the dame
looks pretty much peeved.” remarked
a nearby onlooker.
JOE and SUE now had their eyes
fixed on other rubbish displayed, end
when the auctioneer lifted hs ham
mer again, they were most enthiisia:
tic. having set their minds on sev
eral articles as souvenirs of the trip
“And now everybody,—here is the
Venus of Milo, very high class stuff,
by a guy named Remerbrant, I think
he did a pretty good job, a dainty
imitation of—September dawn—you
may find some freckles on her ankles,
for she certainly believed in sun
baths.” “I'll say the loidy had the
courage of her convictions.” observed
the cop on duty there to maintain
order.
The next item for bid was a heavv.
gold chain. JOE's eyes became at
once rivited.
“This splendid article belonged to
George Washington, and was found"
at Valley Forge after his famous duel
with Gen’l Lee. Just what am I
bid?”
JOE's $2.00 was a first hand prof
fer.
" Did I hear $2.25? $2.50 from the
gent across the way?”
'"Make it $2.60 JOE, you’ll lock jes
like the mayor.” The purchase wrap
ped in tissue. JOE tucked away in his
trouser pocket, and unobserved
slipped out for a mug of Schlitz
whilst SUE's eyes were fixed on a
perambulator.
She was soon to break the expec
tant news to the paterfamilias. On
went the persistent salesman.
“I am now offering a much need
ed commodity, fit for ’■oy^lty—
wouldn’t a bunch of quintuplets look
cute in this buggy?”
Up went SUE s hand and a $3.03
solo rang.
‘ Rol out that chariot so the spin
sters can see, it may give them a
nuptial idea. Chirp up Ladies—any
price—get bizzy—goin’—goin’—gone.
A bargain.”
It became SUEs treasured posses
sion. JOE returned after the next
article on parade was knocked down
for $1.25. It proved to be the dupli-'
cate of his brand new chain. Now W
hectic arguments reverberated from
SUE, to whch JOE was compelled to
lend a willing ear. She had an un
deniable hunch that his chain hod _
been lost. JOE dipped down in his
pant’s pocket and found nothing, he
was now convinced of it having been
found and placed again on the mar
ket. “That hick had dumb luck, bst
I’ll hunt the low-down and knock his
block into a contusion.”
The square jaw and clenched fist®,
obstructed the auctioneer’s transit,
who hastily muttered an apology in
self defense.
“Yeah?" expostulated JOE as he** •
sidled up closer.—That monosyllable
bristled with antagonism, hostility
was in his eye.
“Now listen heah Mister —” A
telephne call interrupted.
“Hello! well, what do you want?”,
came from the authority in charge— •>.
“WHAT! my collie had four pups?"
An inspiration seized him.
“Who wants a collie pup delivered
C. O. D., a mama one or a papa
pup?”
A happy smile was misting SUE’s
luminous eyes. She moved very close
to JOE.
