hat. The other man was p stocky fel-
low, clad in black suit.
According to Detective Kalbheisch,
the stolen jewels were the property Of
many jewel firms for whom Schonfeld
is agent and salesman. They were In
sured for $4,000. Kolbheisch corrected
the impression that tho Jewels were
worth 100000, as was frst reported.
He said 100000 Is fair estimate Of
their worth.
Several days ago schonfeld told a
friend while they we're in an elevator
in the building that he expected to
leave town shortly with large collec-
ton Of jewels. 1t is the opinion Of the
detectives that one or both of the rob-
bers overheard Schonfeld's remark and
thus learned that he had this unusu-
ally large collection of Jewels.
Schonfeld visited the rogues' gallery
in Police Headqua rters, but failed to
identify the faces Of the two thieves
among the photographs Of known jew
elry criminals. He lives at 1853 Kelly
Avenue, the Bronx, is married and has
three children.

BUREAUS FOR BUILDING LOAN DRIVE

Chairman Lerou when seen on Mon- day said:
 This campaign is different from any that. have been promoted hereto fore. Of course we want new mem hers, because the larger the member ship roll the more good we can do in the comnAnity. But membership in a building and loan association does not appeal to everyone. Only those who are seeking an opportunity to buy CT build a home of their own, or those citizens who desire to make Norwich better city to : live in, will be in- terested in this project. If the citi- zens of Norwich were better informed about building and loan associations, they would. realize what an excellent organization it is for the city and what an important step in civic progress was taken when the Norwich Building and Loan association was in- stitute6. Better housing facilities is one of the municipal problems that should interest every citizen and it should be of particular interest to the earnest home seeker, as 1t makes it easier for him to build or buy a home, am satisfied that before this cam paign is closed there will be a great many enthusiastic members added to ths Norwich Building and Loan asso- ciation.'
