ANDITS SLUG MONEY CARRIER; STEAL CHECKS Only Loot Is $50,000 in Non-Negotiable Paper; Robber Nabbed. A renewed outbreak of banditry Tuesday afternoon and night gave police new crimes of daring nature to solve. A bank messenger was, beaten at Georgia and Pennsylvania streets during the afternoon shopping hours in view of two score persons and was robbed of $50,000 in nonnegotiable checks. A drug store manager and woman clerk were abducted, police were told, and forced to open the drug store safe, $260 being taken. Combating the crime wave, police had the following record: An alleged bandit was captured after a filling station holdup and is alleged to have confessed to many other holdups. Wounded Man Caught A man wounded by police Tuesday morning was captured and is being questioned in auto thefts and banditry cases. Thomas Fletcher, the bank messenger, was knocked down by c .c of the bandits while scores of pedestrians looked on. The bandits grabbed the white canvas money bag the boy carried and sped away in the car in which his mate was waiting at the curb. The checks are worthless to the robbers, bank officials said. Martin Suess, manager of the Walgreen drug store at Senate avenue and Washington street, and Miss Beulah Linton, 209 Eastern avenue, a soda fountain clerk at the drug store, were kidnaped in Suess’ car by two bandits as they left the store Tuesday midnight. After driving a short distance, to where the bandits had parked a car, the bandits returned to the drug store with the two, forced Suess to open the safe, took $260 and then forced Suess and Miss Linton to accompany them to Noble and Bates street, where the two were left, the bandits escaping in a machine in which one robber had followed Suess’ car. Claim Admission Lawrence J. Isenbarger, 28, of Lynn, alias Charles Fremont of Chicago, alias George L, West of Chicago, confessed, police say, to six filling station holdups here following his arrest Tuesday night.

OFFICIAL INTERPRETS LAW ON GAME PELTS Sale of Skins Trapped In Season Permitted by Statute. Considerable difficulty is being met in the sale of skins of fur-bearing animals in this state, according to' Walter Shirts, superintendent of the fish and game division of the state conservation department. “In a number of cases,” Shirts explained today, “ it has come to the department's attention that fur buyers refuse to take fur from trappers because they are fearful of violating the law relative to the sale of pelts. “While no fur-bearing animal lawfully can be trapped, killed or held in captivity after Jan. 15, until Nov. 15, pelts taken in the open season can be sold lawfully. The law reads that ‘freshly skinned pelts’ shall not be sold or possessed after Jan. 20, it being presumed that they were unlawfully taken. “Dry pelts taken in the open season may be sold any time without friction with the law and dealers need not hesitate to buy such fur when offered.” Young Mother Ends Life Bi/ United Prciw ELIZABETH.

CITY FOLLOWS U. S. EXPERT'S AIRPORT VIEWS Definite Program Outlined for Completion of Landing Field. City officials today took steps toward a definite program for development of the municipal airport in accordance with recommendations of John E. Sommers, United States department of commerce airport chief, who has been in conference with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and the board of works. Sommers returned to Washington, to make a w’ritten report on his visit. He recommended verbally that north and south, and southwest and northeast runways be constructed to handle the air traffic. Location of the runways was advised before the site for the administrationhangar building is decided. The contract for the structure has been let and excavation has been halted by the board pending the location of the terminal, according to the airport expert’s recommendation. Sommers suggested the administration building be located near its present proposed site. It will be in the northwest comer of the field, east of the north and south runway. 1 Mayor Sullivan said the city W'ill work along lines by Sommers, so that the airport may have a good government rating when completed. M. G. Johnson, airport engineer, will make a drainage analysis. The entire plan will be sketched before work is started. The drainage system, costing $54,000, already’ has [ been built, without regard to the ! location of the proposed runways. The runways proposed by the former airport engineer were not in accord with the government expert’s views. Sommers’ decision was based on a study of air conditions on the field. Removal of the entire woods on j the west section was held unnecessary’ at this time if a 500-foot strip is cleared to avoid the hazard. The first pair of knitted, silk stockings recorded in history was worn by Queen Elizabeth.

CLEVELAND PAIR IS IDENTIFIED IN CITT ROBBERIES Photographs Recognized by Laundry Head; Slaying Confession Checked. Photographs of George Williams, 68, and Charles Hannick, 21, under arrest at Cleveland, printed in The Times Tuesday afternoon were identified by Harry T. Shaneberger, manager of the Sterling laundry at Pine and Lexington avenues, as those of the two men who held up the laundry office on two occasions, police said. The identification caused police officials here today to communicate with Cleveland officials, in the belief that Williams and Hannick were responsible for a number of robberies here. When the Sterling laundry 7 was robbed about a year ago, three holdups v/ere reported within an hour, and photographs of Williams and Hannick will be shown the victims in each case in efforts to identify them. * Indianapolis police also were checking to determine whether the two were responsible for the murder of Frank Baden, storekeeper at 3501 East Sixteenth street, on March 3, 1928, in a holdup. Williams is said by Cleveland policaffo have confessed he and Hannick shot a storekeeper in a holdup here about that date, saying he did not know whether the man died.
