CURIOSITY OF BRAVE
GIRL WINS REWARD
Minneapolis Bank Clerk Ig-
nored Order and Saw Bandits
Who Took $4,000.
ENJOYING TRIP HERE
State of Minnesota Pays Ex-
penses as Miss Olson Tries to
Identify Suspects.

Miss Gustic Olson had entirely too
much feminine curiosity to obey liter
ally the commands of bandits who came
into the bank In Minneapolis. where she
worked and ordered everybody to keep
their heads below the counters II they
didn't want TO be shot. She just natu-
rally had to see what the robbers looked
like-and because she had the nerve to
peep over the railing of her cage she
is seeing what New York looks like.
Miss Olson had always wished she could
take a trip to New York. but she never
could afford II. However, she Is In our
midst now and II isn't costing her a
cent. The State OF Minnesota is paying
for everything
When the bandits went into the Lib
erty State Bank about three months ago
they herded all the employees. Miss
Olson among them, into a corner and
threatened all sorts of unpleasant things
IL the victims didn't keep their heads
down. Then they went about their busi-
ness OF robolng the bank. and gathered
about $4,000 in cash and negotiable
securities. But Miss Olson was very
curious-so she risked a little peep and
got quite a good view of the robbers;
in fact, she was the only one In the
bank who saw enough of them to de-
scribe them to the police.
About two weeks ago the New York
police arrested John Doyle. Charles Con-
nors and Charles Thomas. who had a
lot OF money and no explanation OF
how they got II. When their rooms in
Seventeenth street were searched the
detectives say they found two $1,000
bonds that had been stolen from tho
bank and two Minnesota automobile
license plates. The trio couldn't explain
where they got either the bonds or the
plates. From photographs Miss Olson
out in Minneapolis Identified the three
men as the bandits and several Mime
apolis detectives, accompanied by Miss
Olson, arrived in New York Tuesday
to take the prisoners back to Minnesota
for trial.
The three men fought the attempt TO
send them West. however. and a habeas
corpus writ was sworn out In their
behalf. The hearing began before JUS
tice Daniel r. Cohalan of the Supreme
Court yesterday and probably will be
concluded to-day Meanwhile Miss Olson

POLICE TO SEIZE
UNATTENDED CARS
VIII Chain All Left at Curb
for More Than Short
Time.

1t was with mixed emotions that motor
lists learned last night that the Police
Department has decided to put n stop
TO free parking OF cars in the street by
chalnliig and locking the wheels of cars
left standing unattended for too long
a time.
There was sadness in the thought that
when. during the next few days. the
plan Ia put into action the motorist
will have to go to the nearest police sta
lion house to get a duplicate key--and a
summons to appear in court-before he
can move his car again. On the other
hand there was the Joyous thought
that with unattended cars chained and
locked perhaps the average automobile
owner will have only one or two cars
stolen during the year instead Of the
present annual average of three.
So many complaints have been made
to the police lately by car owners who
could not drive up to their own doors
because OF unattended machines block
ing the way for hours that Commissioner
Enright called his deputy commissioners
into conference a few days ago to dis
cuss methods Of Kidding the curbs OF
the nuisances. During the discussion
the suggestion of claiming the cars was
made and the plan adopted.
Traffic policemen and side street pave
ment Founders will be supplied with
chains and also with padlocks upon
which will be stamped the address OF
the station house of the precinct in
which the unattended car has been left
overtime When a policeman comes upon
such a car he will run a chain between
spokes Of n rear wheel and lock the
chain around the nearest spring. Then
when John J. Motorst returns to his
car he will read the paddock and go to
the station house to get a key and the
bad news
ITS a great plan because the bull
will not have to waste time watching tho
old boat" II was explained yesterday
in one Of the chief bull pens at Police
Headquarters.
q. The police say the unattended car
nuisance is not confined to any particu-
lar part of the city. but Is making much
trouble everywhere. One case that made
the Brooklyn bulls see red happened
last week when woman left her car in
front OF her house in Joralemon street
early in the morning, came to Man
haitian In the subway and took a noon
train for Philadelphia. where she stayed
for several hours. When she got back
to jolly old Joralemon street around
midnight she called up the police to
tell them her car had been stolen.
Come around here to Headquarters"
came the answer after she had given the
police the license number of her car.
The police had her car at the Brook
lyn Police Headquarters. And what did
the mean old things do but hand her
a summons also, and the next morning
the hateful old police magistrate sep
arated her from all the money she had
been saving up to buy Rogers Return
of the Bride" group. which the Brook
lyn lady had intended to put in her
window between the rubber plants.

TARGET FOR FINGER
POINTERS, ASKS BALM
Young Wife Wants S7-Year-
Old Husband to Pay Sc, 900.

The thing that most disturbed Mrs.
Kate Wolf Hart, formerly a manicurist
in barber shop. when her s7-year-old
husband left her in 1913. was the fact
that people pointed their fingers at her.
That was what she told jury In court
yesterday when her suit for separation
was brought to trial. and her lawyer
emphasized the fact that she only
wanted enough alimony to support her
in style that would keep people from
pointing their fingers at her. Both the
plaintiff and her counsel feel that ali
mony of S6,00o--and counsel fees
would confound the finger pointers.
Mrs. Hart, who is 10 years old and
blond and pretty. as lady litigants al
ways are. told of her marriage to the
aged Mr.. Hart and their honeymoon In
Atlantic City, and of their return TO
Brooklyn, where they lived in s37 Mon
roe street and had breakfast II bed and
enjoyed the other privileges OF the Idle
rich. But on Sunday, May IS, accord
ing TO Mrs. Hart. her aged husband put
on his hat and coat and left her, saying
he would be gone forever.
II am through with you" she said he
told her.
The next day she went to his office in
1o2s Gates avenue.
Aren't you coming back to live with
me-" she says she asked. 2 aintively.
Get out" she says he shouted, 81
don't want to have anything to do with
you"
She wept
II want 10 know why you left me-"
she says she said. Everybody is point
ing their fingers at me because you left
me"
She says he said nothing.

JURORS PAY RAISED
TO3 DOLLARS A DAY
Justices, However, Do MOI
Fear Rush of Applicants.

Jurors who received their pay checks
yesterday for service in the Supreme
Court found the compensation had been
increased from SO to 50 a day. The
Board OF Aldermen. Mayor Hylan. the
Legislature and Gov. Smith cooperated
to bring about the increase. The SUI
preme Court Justices and attendants
are not In the least bit optimistic. how
ever, that the additional pay will tend
to make the jury service more popular.
For many years members of the Su-
preme Court have been of the opinion
that the pay for jury service was much
too small. on several occasions Jus
tees have ordered that jurymen who
we're forced TO serve for prolonged pc
RODS be paid at the rate OF $40 and 81
a day. To increase the pay OF Jurors
generally. however. II was necessary to
get an additional municipar appropria-
ton and to bring about an amendment
TO ihe judicial code.
