Arrests Near in $4,000
Hold-Up in Hotel Room

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug, 31.-Detectiv
working on the Traymore Hotel rob-
berry in which Miss Anna Knoehr, of
Philadelphia, was gagged and bound to
hor bed in fifth floor room by ban
dts, who robbed her of jewelry valued
at $4,000, expect to make arrests in
connection with the case tomorrow.
An investigation begun Immediately
after the robbery, which took place at
midnight Monday, is said to have re-
vealed that men posing as wealthy New
Workers were> implicated in the affair.
Miss Knoehr is said to have furnished
description of the two men who tied
her to her bed with the sheets and
then leisurely searched her baggage for
valuables, which has resulted in fixing
their identity. The men are said to
have been seen on train leaving At
lantic City within an hour of the rob-
berry.
Miss Knoehr was so securely bound
by the bandits that she would have
been unable to release herself, and
gagged in suck manner that she could
make no outcry. She was found in this
condition by Miss Gertrude Whitman,
New York friend, with whom she had
made a supper engagement. 1t was
Miss Whitman who summoned the hotel
managers.
Miss Knoehr returned to her home
at 1922 Bristol Street, Philadelphia,
Tuesday morning. She is said to be
suffering from shock. Detectives are
said to be seeking two well-known ho-
tel thieves in Manhattan.

Advance Monies Received

In an unsigned statement defending
that were chartered to it by the United
States Shipping Board, the former
officers of the Mayer corporation said
they felt constrained to call attention
to facts in view of certain statements
which must necessarily reflect not only
upon the management of the company
bur upon the merchant marine as
whole.'
The document is lengthy one. The
Mail and its officials admit that they
used advance moneys collected from
emigrants in their business. but de-
clare these funds were applied to the
recorjisioning of vessels in their
hands. They had appealed to the
new board, they say, for new con-
