SHOT TRYING TO GET
LOOT FROM BANDITS
Robbed While at Dice Game ;
Met ThieUes Later.

Three men armed with revolvers held
up fifteen men who were playing at dice
in vacant lot at Thirty-ninth street
and Eleventh avenue yesterday after
noon, and after they had backed the
players up against a wall they stole 1920
from them. OF this amount $50 was
taken from James Lamont. a chauffeur
of 522 Eleventh avenue. None of the
dice players made any resistance and
the bandits escaped.
Two hours later, according to the
story he told the police, Lamont was
standing at Thirty-ninth street and
Eleventh avenue when he saw the three
men who had held him up walking down
the street. He approached them. he told
the police, and demanded his money
back. He said that the three men
laughed at him, and although he argued
with them for some time they refused to
return the $40 they had stolen from his
pockets during the hodup.
Lamont said that the three finally be-
came 50 threatening in their attitude
that he turned and walked away from
them. But he had not gone more than
fifteen feet when on Of the three drew
a REVOLVER and fred The bullet struck
Lamont in the back and penetrated his
left lung, and he fell to the street uncon-
scious, while the three men ran into
Thirty-ninth street and escaped. Three
men appeared at the French Hospital
with Lamont few minutes later, and
after his wounds had been dressed he
was removed to Bellevue. where It was
said his condition was serious.
The three men who carried Lamont to
the hospital were questioned by detec-
tives from the West Thrtieth street sta
ton. but were allowed to go when they
said that they had been passing and had
found the chauffeur lying unconscious on
the sidewalk. Lamont told the police
that while he did not know the names OF
the three bandits. he had seen them
before, and that they were usually to be
found in the poolrooms Of West Forty

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

TNHE monthly summary Of business cond
tlons issued by the Federal Reserve
Bank Of this district shows some improve
ments in September over August, but it Is
evident that the country has still a long
wNy TO go before trade resumes its normal
course.
One Of the most distressing revelations
of the summary Is that the savings banks
deposits continue to decrease. This means
that men out of work are dra wing on their
savings to support their families. In this
city there was $3.50, 300, 600 on deposit in
the savings banks on March / On Septem-
Der this amount had fallen 10 $3.50, ,OS7,-
900. a decline of nearly S7.OU0 900.
Conditions in the Federal Reserve Dis
trct outside Of Philadelphia are not so
bad. for the deposits have fallen from S53.-
100 600 TO $52 $40 900. or decline Of only
S430, 900. More money was withdrawn
from the banks in August than in any other
month since March. So long as there is
unemployment there will continue TO be
withdrawal of savings.
The Investigators for the bank discovered
a curious condition in the hosiery industry,
where the demand for cotton hose is poor.
while the mills making silk hose are behind
on their orders. The reason for this is
found in the state Of the cotton market.
RAW cotton was low IN August ana Ine
mills were doing some business. but when
the Government report on September |
showed that the crop was poor the price
began to rise. and the demand for cotton
goods fell off II is expected to be poor
until the price Of cotton becomes little
more stable.
Building material has fallen somewhat in
price but it is still high. Yet there has
been a slight increase in building operations
in this city over wear ago. though the cost
Of buildings for which permits were issued
in the Federal Reserve District in August
this year was about 81 400 900 less than in
August of last year. This is largely because
the Atlantic City permits included hotel
that cost more than $4,000 900. Philadel
phia permits were for buildings costing
5000 900 more than in August last year.
In Wilmington permit. for $4,000 worth
Of buildings were issued in August, 1920.
and in August Of this wear the permits were
for buildings to cost $500 600.
The demand for full fashioned hosiery
is described ns ''pxrellPn1, and there is said
TO be Il good demand for cigars anthra
cite. seamless silk hosiery and leather. For
everything else the demand is only fair.
As evidence has been found that there is
a general tendency toward recovery in bust
ness with gradual decrease in the extent
Of unemployment. the outlook is hopeful.
