AUTO RIDDLED. CITY DUSINESS MEN ROBBED Car Brought to Halt by Shots in Midnight Road Attack. (Continued From Page One) if you don't hand it over, I'm going to shoot.” he threatened. The bandit counted to nine, according to Mize, and then stopped, snarling: ‘Don't look at my face, and don't look at our license plates.” With that warning, the bandit smashed the Chrysler’s parking lights with his gun butt, took off the license plates and pocketed Mize's driving license. The bandit gang then drove north toward Chicago while Mize and McDonald "thumbed” a ride into Morocco and sent a mechanic back to haul in their riddler car. Both bandits who accosted McDonald and Mize after the shooting, were masked with handkerchiefs, but Mize got a brief look at his assailant when the handkerchief slipped disclosing a swarthy visage. "His man” was about 24, weighed about 160 and was five feet, eight or nine inches tall, Mize said. This hazy description tallies with that of one of the Terre Haute bank bandits and ejected shells found along the roadside and a flattened bullet in the car disclosed that the bandits were armed with .38 caliber police pistols. The Terre Haute bandits used this type of weapon. Examination of the Mize auto revealed eleven bullet holes in the windows, fenders and upholstery. The car the bandits were driving was believed to have been the same one used in the bank messenger holdup. GUNMEN~FimE ON AUTO City Man, Girl Companion Escape in Volley of Shots.

Hundreds of men are being given employment as a result of co-op-eration of citizens in the clean-up campaign being conducted this week by the fire prevention bureau, under direction of Fred Kennedy, acting chief, and Bernard Lynch, chief of fire prevention. Thirty inspectors are making a through survey of the pity for the detection of fire hazards, and have reported that immediately upon their recommendation, in a majority of cases, property owners have hired men t*o remove rubbish, repair or board up houses and sheds. One company co-operated by starting the wrecking of a large neglected building, a dangerous fire hazard in the downtown district. Property owners reluctant to comply with orders to remove or repair buildings considered as fire hazards, will be reported to William Hurd, building commissioner, who can order arrests.

by the state highway department Tuesday. Chairman James D. Adams of the department said that no contract will be signed until the ban on federal funds is lifted. President Roosevelt ordered the funds held up when his reforestation program got under way, Adams explained. The highway department had advertised for the bids before that time, he pointed out. Low bids were some $400,000 below the engineer's estimates, indicating that the cement fnarket may have been broken by contractors buying their own supplies, Adams said. He also announced that great amounts of state funds are to be spent on widening projects, and indicated that a good size black-top paving program may be inaugurated.
