may insist on further penalties.
In event there is a deadlock and
the French persist in their present

That danger is very real. as both sides

The settlement Of the Silesian prob

Recently Detained for

Mrs. Julia Warshotf, a Russian. for,
ty-tive years old, Of 522 West 151st
Street, shot herself in the left breast
at $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon as
she was being taken in private auto
mobile to the West Thirtieth Street
police station by Traffic Policeman Jo-
seph Fallon, who had arrested her
She turned the revolver on herself just
as the car in which she was riding
reached Broadway and Thirty-fourth
Street.
The car then wormed its way through
the tangle of traffic and sped to the
French Hospital. Physicians there said
the condition of Mrs Warshoff was
critical.
Mrs. Warshof had not protested
against her arrest, and until Patrol
man Fallon caught the CLINT of some
thing in her hand he thought that he
had in his custody as mild hammered a
prisoner as he had ever arrested.
Optician Causes Arrest
He was on duty at Thirty-hfth Street
and Sixth Avenue when he was sum-
moned to the Offices of the American
Spectacle Company, at 1928 Broadway.
Charles Hirschberg, head of the COM
pany, told him that Mrs. Warshoff, who
stood several feet away, had been an
noying him and threatening him. She
had been arrested before, according to
Mr.. Hirschberg, and had recently been
under observation at Bellevue. Mrs.
WarshohF offered no defense. She
merely glared at the policeman and
fingered her beaded handbag.
She was invited to step into a private
automobile at the curb and was told
she was to be taken to the West Thir-
tieth Street station. 1t seemed to Traf-
fc Policeman Fallon that her sullen-
ness vanished then and there and that
she showed no hesitation in stepping
into the tonneau of the machine and
taking a seat beside him.
Draws Gun From Handbag
She fumb bled with the catch of her
handbag as the car moved slowly down
Broadway in the stream of traffic The
policeman thought it nervousness.
When the machine reached Macy's he
thought he saw something flash in her
hand. and an instant later was sure of
it. Before he could act his prisoner
had raised the revolver she had fshed
from the handbag and had fired bullet
into her breast.
The sidewalks along Broadway were
iammed at the time, and the shot was
heard by many. Policeman Fallon,
realizing the seriousness of the wound,
blew his whistle and the automobile
was given the right of way.
Mrs. Warshotf lived at 522 West
151st Street with a son. A bench war
rant for her arrest was issued three
months ago. it was said, by Magis-
trate Corrigan.

o'clock this afternoon held up the

bandits are known to be armed, a des-
perate gun battle is believed possible
in case the fleeing men are overtaken.
The pursuers had not returned from
the chase late tonight.
-Four Of the bandits entered the bank.
while the fifth stood outside and with
drawn revolver compelled pedestrians
to keep moving.

In the bank at the time Of he hold

While three Of the bandits kept re-

bank, another climbed the partition to
the cashiers cage and, using the satchel
currency in sight and placed it in the
satchel. He then walked around to the
lobby, Joined his waiting pals. and the
four fed to the street.
When they reached the street the
four men were joined by their confed-

automobile.
Fire Voiley in Air
Pulling out their revovers the ban

Telephone messages Of warning
were flashed throughout the surround

The boldness of the cane was the
reason for its success. No attention
was paid to the i've men when they
drew up near the bank in their auto
mobile. There was nothing suspicious
about the action OF the four who en-

whipped out weapons and demanded
compliance with their orders. The en-

five minutes
