NEW YORK. March 12.- While Broadway tonight was crowded with theatergoers. three armed bandits smashed in the window of a jewelry store at 37th street. They kept the crowds at bay with revolvers until they had emptied the contents of sev- eral trays into their pockets and then escaped. shooting one pedestrian who attempted to stop them.
 A few minutes later three men en- tered another Broadway jewelry store, a few blocks up town and, after throw ing pepper in a clerks eyes, grabbed some trays of jewelry and ran from the store. Two men alleged to be members of the gang were arrested after a chase.
 Both robberies, committed in the heart of the white light district, were witnessed by thousands of persons. Broadway was thrown into the great est excitement as police reserves ar rived on the double quick and work ing on the theory that the robberies bands, raced up and down side streets and secured the subway for the four missing bandits.
 Get Valuable Loot
 Proprietors of the two stores esti- mated that thousands of dollars worth of jewelry had been stolen. In addi- tion to the pedestrian who was shot, but not seriously injured, one other member of the crowd succeeded in getting his fingers on fugitive.
 He was rewarded by a crack on the wrist from a revolver butt which caused his arm to fall helplessly to his side.
 The first robbery, in which Schwartz brothers were the victims was engi- neered with great daring. While rubbing elbows with. passing pedes- trians. one of the bandits slipped an har h-nr rryh fIan bnr 1f %l, door. so that it could not be opened from the inside. Then a brick wrap ped in cloth was hurled through the window.
 At the jingle of falling glass, Frank Schwartz ran excitedly to the door and tried to pull 1t open as he shouted for help. The crowd. also attracted by the crash, swarmed about the rob- bers. two of whom continued coolly at their task of raking diamonds and rubies out of the window while the third member of their party kept spectators at bay.
 Seeing the crowds halt and form a serni-circle around the store, Patrol man Anthony Weigen hurried there Just as he arrived the robbers packed the last of the gems into their pock- cts, parted company. and started each for himself to carve way through the human semi-circle

 The crowds took to cover as thef heard the crack of a revolver, but Weigen had missed and the robbef sped on.

HOLDS TURKISH ISSUES
 ID bE SERIOUS
IRepub:Ican A. p. Leased wirel

LONDON, March 12-Earl Curzon's speech on the Turkish problem, made in the house of lords yesterday, and on the subject are generally regarded as showing that the Near East tangle is quite serious and is causing the au- thorities some anxiety-an anxiety in creased by complications threatened in connection with Syria and Mesopota- mia. The shadow of Indian and Mos lem opinion darllens the problem and, it is believed, influences the councils of the allies more than is always inn mediately apparent.
 The suggestion that the employment of force against the Turks might eX- cite general hostility in the Mussulman world is regarded as one that cannot safely be ignored. In some quarters the feeling prevails that there is dan ger if the Turks are pressed they may immediately be joined by the Arabs. The Italian view, that it.would be dan gerous to employ against the Turks, British Moslem and other Moslem troops in the service of the allies, is evidently based on these fears.
 Careful watch is being kept here on the outcome of the Syrian congress at Damascus and it is understood any decision or proposal by the peace con- ference regarding Syria would be pure ly tentat tive.
 Among the days reports was one that France had been given a mandate over Cilicia, but this was unconfirmed It is urged in some quarters that Frances hands are too full to under take this responsibility.
 Great Britain is similarly regarded ruled out as a mandatory for the same reason, and the League of Nations is looked to as the only hope for pro- tecting Turkeys non- NOSlem subjects

DEFENSE ARGUES FUR ADM| ThNCE .OF WObbLY ACT
Intend To Show That De fendant Wootton Had Reason To Believe Life and Property In Danger; Court Ruling Expected Monday Morning
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WireI

TOMBSTONE AriZ, Marcn 4-- Evidence showing that Harry F. Wootton, a defendant on trial here for the Bisbee kidnapping in 1917. req sonably believed that facilities at hand were inadequate to meet the strike menace which seemed imminent to him should be admitted, his counsel argued today.
 The entire day was taken up with the argument of W. H. Burges. chief of counsel for the defendant, who con tended that Wootton had reasonable belief that the jails of the county and other means at the disposal of the officers were not equal to the test which might come and which they feared during the strike of copper miners in the Warren district The attorney contended that this evidence should be admitted as showing "the laws of necessity and self defense applied.
 Claim Act as Self Defense
 eff Wootton reasonably believed that the only way in which he could protect his life and property was by getting Fred w. Brown out of the dis tr;ct. he would have been justified in deporting him just as he would have been justified in shooting him down on the spot if he had reasonably be- lieved that only by taking Browns life could he save his own.' MT. Burges said. If Wootton would have been permitted to kill Brown under certain circumstances. how much clearer is il that he would have been justified in deporting him. provided the grounds for reasonable belief in danger to himself can be shown
 And how can these grounds be. shown unless the court permits us to go into the entire situation that pre- vailed in the Warren mining district July r. 1917? To refuse to permit us to show that conditions were such as to warrant Wootton'S belief that getting Brown out of the country was the only means of saving Woottons life and property would be to preju. dice the case"
 Burges quoted numerous authorities which he contended supported his view.
 Court To Rule Monday
 When the defense lawyer had con cluded his lengthy argument late to- day, Judge Samuel l.. Pattee adjourned court until Monday morning at Q o'clock He had previously excuse the jury until Tuesday afternoon at ? o'clock.
