Driver of Touring Car Con-

M a k e d Pair; Staten
Island Messenger Victim

While hundreds of persons looked on
helplessly, two masked robbers, heavily
armed, jumped from touring car, held
up George Stoessel, thirty-nine years
old, messenger for the Siegel Collar
Manufacturing Company, 1877 Chestnut
Street, Rosebank, Staten Island, and
robbed him of $500 payroll shortly
before noon yesterday. The pair then
escaped.
A little more than an hour later Ed
ward Swiss, driver of the car, was ar
rested at the Elizabethport ferry,
Mariners Harbor.
Stoessel, who lives at 1173 Bay
Street, Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island,
left the offices Of the company at about
II o'clock and went to the Stapleton
National Bank, Stapleton, with hand
bag, where he drew 50 500 with which
company. He boarded trolley car at
Stapeton and alighted lat Chestnut
Street, Rosebank, within less than half
q block from the Rosebank station of
the Staten Island Rapid Transit Rail-
road.
He had arrived in front of the en-
trance to the Offices Of the company,
when blue automobile which had
been proceeding slowly toward him,
pulled up to the curb. Two men, wear
ing black cloth masks, jumped from
the machine and covered Stoessel with
guns. Before he could make outcry,
one grabbed him by the throat and the
left arm, while the other took care of
ho rir oh x,rhi $bo

The man with the bag jumped into
the machine and the other threw Stoes-
sci heavily to the gutter. Then he
leaped into the car and the chauffeur
started away at high speed. Many
were in the eighborhood, scores stand
ing on the platform Of the Rosebank
station awaiting trains, at the time
but the thing happened SO suddenly
none gave an alarm. The car sped
through Center Street and was lost to
sight over the top of the hill about &
block away.
At eleven fifteen o'clock, just an hour
and twenty-five minutes after the hold
up, a car Of the description given pull
ed up at the Elizabethport ferry house
at Mariners Harbor. The driver was
ordered to drive to the West New
Brighton station, where he was ques-

Menocal Says U. S. Action
Would Raise Sugar Rate
Warns Against Attempt by Gov.
ernment to Acquire Remain
ing Portion of I.ban CrOD

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Action by
the United States Government to ac-
quire the remaining portion of the
Cuban sugar crop would only stimulate
prices, President Menoca] of Cuba, de-
clared in cablegram received to-day
by Senator McNary, of Oregon.
The present crop, President Menocal
said, is 20 per cent less than estimated
in December, owing to drought. This
factor, he added, not alone has in
creased prices, but an unusual demand
coupled with speculation has had an
influence on the market.
The Cuban president estimated that
there are 1,350,00O tons of sugar on
hand in Cuba in addition to two or
three hundred thousand tons remain
ing to be made. A considerable portion
of this, he said, will go to refners at
prices current on day Of shipment.

COTTONS-Concessions From,
Small Holders of Goods

Small jobbers and some garment
manufacturers are disposing of some
of their surplus stocks of cotton goods
at price recessions, but the large fac
tors are standing fairly firm on prices
that have ruled for some time The
attitude of the larger sellers, who are
not forcing sales at present, is to let
the market take it's course and to hold
back until the liquidation Of the finan-
cially weaker firms is completed.
Overproduction has not appeared to
any extent except in the case of few
fabrics. Voiles apparently are in ex-
cess supply, due to the large produc-
tion in this country and extensive i'm
portations from British manufacturing
certers. Other sheer fabrics, such as
lawns, dimities, long cloth, batistc
largely used in the making of women's
outer and undergarments, are scarce.
