HOLDUP GANG GETS $4,300 IN TWO ROBBERIES Polk Milk Cos., Hilgemeier Packing Firm Are Held Up. Five well-dressed bandits are at large today with $3,300 in cash and checks for SI,OOO obtained In robberies of two business places in a period of less than three hours on Wednesday afternoon. Shooting marked one of the robberies, but no one was hurt. Stimulated by liquor and cursing roundly, the bandits obtained $3,000 from the office of Polk Sanitary Milk Company, 1100 East Fifteenth street, and S3OO in cash and SI,OOO in checks from the office of F. Hilgemeier Brother, packing company, at 519 West Raymond street. The Hilgemeier office was robbed first. Making their appearance a few minutes before 2, the bandits parked a large automobile in which two men remained. Os the three others, one took up a post as a guard on a loading platform, and two entered the building. One of these went upstairs to an office in w'hich there is a safe from which the loot was taken, and the other stationed himself on a stairway. Employe Tries to Flee Charles O'Donnell, 1321 Lambert street, was alone in the upstairs office when the bandit entered, announcing: “This is a holdup. Where is Mr. Gerdts?” The reference was to Walter Gerdts, 964 Bradbury avenue, cashier of the company, who happened to be in another part of the building. O'Donnell tried to flee. He reached the rear of the second floor and sought to close a door, but the bandit was too quick, and fired several shots while holding the door open. O'Donnell returned and saw the bandit take the money and checks from th safe, which was open. In the meantime the bandit on the stairway busied himself with an attempt to herd employes for a march to the second floor. Gerdts appeared, and was ordered to the stairway. He hesitated, and a warning shot was fired towards his feet. In the Polk robbery, one man sat at the wheel of the bandit car and four entered the place, herding about twenty employes as a preliminary to forcing the cashier, P. A. Smith, to hand over the money. The employes were told calmly by one of the bandits that none would be hurt if they would do as they were told. Carried Out Smoothly The robbery was carried out smoothly. The four bandits walked away without a show of excitement and went to their car. Nearby Bruce Percels, distribution manager for the company, sat in his automobile with the motor running, not knowing that a robbery had been committed. One of the robbers, before entering the bandit car, reached into Perccl's auto, turned off the ignition and pocketed the keys. A theory is held that, the robbers are the same as those who obtained two large automobiles from the Thirtieth street garage, after kidnaping two employes and binding a third, and as those who robbed the McLean place car barns of Indianapolis Railways, Inc. License plates of the bandit auto are said to have been numbered 120-468, the same as stolen Nov. 5 from the automobile of C. M. Wells, 3360 North Meridian street.

CONTRACT BRIDGE RY W. F. M’KENNEY Sffrrtarv American Bridge League IS it more difficult to play against an expert or against the beginner? That is a difficult question to answer. Whne it is quite true that the beginner will make a lot of errors, quite often on an important hand he will make a lead or play which you will reason out in a certain way, only to find that he never had given the hand any thought, but simply had reached in and drawn out a card, and that the inferences you had drawn were entirely incorrect. Against the expert, you usually can reason out every one of his plays, as he makes no play without some definite thought behind it. The following hand was played in a recent duplicate match in Cleveland. It was unusually interesting at one table, as both sides were attempting to take a sacrifice bid and one side finally was pushed into the smal slam con'ract which was made.

The Bidding South bid one spade, West overcalled with two diamonds. North felt justified in bidding two spades, and East bid three hearts. South now reasoned that the strength partner showed with his free rase must be in clubs and he jumped to four spades. West went to five diamonds, which North and East passed. South went I to five spades. West and Northi passed and now East decided to , show strength in his partner's suit i and bid six diamond. South bid six spade which East made the mistake of doubling. The Play West had the opening lead and was confronted with a problem. His partner had bid hearts. However, he felt that his proper opening would be either clubs or diamonds. During the bidding you will notice that South did not make a cue bid in diamonds, as he did not want to prevent a lead in that suit. West realized that South probably Ajas out of diamonds and, with East's heart bid, it left South's side strength as clubs. To open the ace of clubs probably would be to establish South’s side. Therefore, when the hand was played, West elected to open the king of diamonds. Mrs. Carl T. Robertson of Cleveland, who has held several national auction championships, sat in the East and made a gallant attempt to set the contract by playing the ace of diamonds over partner’s king. South, however, trumped with the deuce of spades. As this play had been made by an expert, it was quite obvious to the declarer that East w r as endeavoring to get in the lead. Certainly not to lead a heart, because the declarer holds the ace and king, but in all probability to lead a singleton club. Therefore, the declarer should not attempt to enter the dummy by Playing a club, because if West has also been able to read his partners for a singleton club he will go right

HIGHWAY DEATH SUSPECT STILL HELD PRISONER Hancock Officials Seek to Learn If ‘Lost Wife’ Is Alive. By Time's S' [irr-inl GREENFIELD, Ind, Jan. 5. j Hancock county authorities today | are centering their-efforts in attempt to learn if Mrs. Margaret Baldwin, missing wife of Freeman Baldwin, Fortville, disabled World ‘ war veteran, is dead or alive. Baldwin, taken into custody Friday as a suspect in the supposed j slaying of his wfie, still is a prisoner in the county jail here, and | Sheriff Frank H. Stottlemyer was ; uncertain today as to when he will j be released. Despite evidence that Mrs. Baldwin was alive Nov. 8, a month and 1 tw r o days after the unclothed body of a woman wrapped in a tent was i found in Henry county at the in-! i tersection of Road 40 and the Ft. Wayne road, the authorities are reluctant to release Baldwin. Teacher Gives Evidence Mrs. Myrenia Inman, teacher in the schools of Moral township, Shelby county, who w r as well acquainted with Mrs. Baldwin, asserts she conversed with her in the 1 Traction Terminal at Indianapolis on Nov. 8, and that she stated she was aw-aiting arrival of a brother from St. Louis and intended to re- , | turn with him. According to the teacher, Mrs. Baldwin gave her the name of an j Indianapolis factory where she w r as • employed, but it is said at the facj tory she never worked there. Analysis Being Made It was learned today that an analysis is being made for state I police of what is believed to be the j blood on linoleum taken from a floor in the Baldwin home and on the tent in which the body found i at the roadside W'as wrapped. Mrs. Baldwin disappeared from Fortville March 7. Early in November, Baldwin obtained a divorce at Greenfield and on Dec. 1 he and Mrs. Lula Barger of Whiteland, Johnson county, were married. Search for the missing woman is hampered by lack of an accurate description. She is about 40, and the only distinguishing mark is a brown line on the forehead at the point where the hair begins. up with the ace of clubs and lead a club w'hich East will ruff. East is marked with the king of spades by his double, so the de- { clarer’s next play should be the ace j and king of hearts and then a small heart, ruffing in dummy with the j three of spades. The jack of spades now can be led from dummy, and when East refuses ; to cover, the finesse is taken. Another spade is led from dummy, j and declarer wins the trick with the ten and leads the ace of spades, j picking up East’s king. Now' a small club is led and all \ that West can do is to take his ace j of clubs. (CoDvright. 1933. bv NEA Service. Inc.) I

/~\NE kind of writer that this N-' country hasn't enough of is the local historian—the chap who is willing to spend laborious hours digging up the history of his own town, and who is able to write about his discoveries entertainingly when his spade work is completed. A fine example of that sort of book is “Historic Salisbury,” by Charles J. Truitt, In this ’ book, published on the 200th anniversary of his town's incorporation. Mr. Truitt gives a very readable and coherent story of how Salisbury, Md, was founded, how it grew, what sort of adventures its early settlers had and who its leading citizens have been; and it's the sort of book that ought to be written more often. To be sure, the appeal of such a book is apt to be limited: yet this reviewer, who never has been within many miles of Salisbury, got real enjoyment out of this history of W’hat must be a most charming place. ‘'Historic Salisbury” is the sort of book that ought to appear more frequently. Published by Doubleday, Doran & Cos., it sells for $1.50. TT seems to me that “Hollywood Siren,” by Keane McGrath, is by a good margin the worst book of the season. It tells of the adventures, chiefly amorous, of a film lady, and for sheer banal ineptness it ought to get some kind of a prize. You can buy it, if you must, from William Godwin for $2. New Ambulance Entrance Opened Anew ambulance entrance was put in operation at the Methodist hospital Wednesday, hosiptal officials announced today. The new' drive, twenty-five feet wide, leads from Sixteenth street to the inclosed, steam heated entrance.
