NO EVIDENCE AGAINST HARRY GOLDENBERG The case against Mr. Harry Goldenberg for alleged embozzie- ment of funds, amounting to $7,600, belonging to Backhouse and Co, of which he was the Canton manager, was dismissed by the Canton Bri- tish Consul for lack of evidence, anys the Canton Daily Sun. Mr. Goldenberg is now a free man and has left Canton for Hongkong. It will be recalled that
Mr. Goldenberg was arrested at No. 24, French Concession, at the house of Mr. Gurvich, some weeks ago.

The Play
It in interesting to note that no lead can atop the declarer from making six odd. North had bid hearts, and while West's partner had bid apades, the No Trump over- call Indicated that that sult was well stopped.
West selected the club suit for his opening lead and played the three, which the declarer won with the king. Declarer now returned
a small diamond, playing the king from dummy. East winning with the nce.
East returned a club which the. declarer won in dummy with the A. diamond was returned from dumny which South, the de- darer, won with the queen.
ice.
He then cashed three rounds of diamonds. West was forced to make two discards, so he dropped a heart and a spade. A spade, a club and a heart were discarded from dummy. East's two discards were two small spades.
Declarer now played a small apade and won in dummy with the king, West discarding heart. A small spade was returned from dummy and won by the declarer with a queen, and west was forced to drop the five of clubs,
On the ace of spades, Weat is squeezed. He holds the queen, jack and nine of hearts and the queen
of clubs. Dummy holds the ace, king and seven of hearts and the Boven of clubs,
If West discards the queen of clubs dummy's seven will be good, while if he discards the nine, of hearts, then the declarer will dis- card the seven of clubs from dum- my and all three of dummy's hearts will be good.
While the play produced alx odd, six was not bid at any table. Re- member-it is not wise to bid doubtful slams when
sure genies can be made. Thousands of points are lost annually by players who are continually reaching out for un- biddable slams.
