Rob Druggist Of 5000
AS He Counts Receipts
Brooklyn Chemist Also Gives
Up S2,I75 in Gems Before He
Puts Bandits to Flight

The lights were out in the front of
the Eagle Pharmacy, at 401 Church
Avenue, Brooklyn, last night, and SAILOR
B. Tetz, the proprietor, was checking
his cash register receipts when three
men entered with drawn revolvers.
"Put up your hands and give US your
money one of the trio demanded
While his two companions stood guard
near the door he took 500 in bills
which Tetz had just finished counting,
$500 in cash still in the register and
$500 in checks.
AS the bandit was gathering up the

had overheard the men while he was

He was stopped at the door, and at

When he had gone the bandits took
a diamond ring valued at $4,000 from
Tets, and s175 cluster stickpin form

depart, one of them noticed snake
ring on the little finger of his right
hand. They started to take it off.

said, and lowered his hands.
Instead of removing the ring he drew
a revolver and fired a shot which
missed its mark. He dropped on the
floor behind a counter. The bandits
fired three shots, which crashed into
a medicine case, and then hed.

Ii Accused of
$2,OOO,O0O
Oil Swiindle
Woman, 5 Men and Seven
Corporations Named in
Bills Charging Fleeing
of About 10000 Persons

Complaints from nearly 1000 small
investors, alleging that they had been
swindled out of their savings by the
stock promoters of the Century Con-
solidated Oil Company, resulted in the
filing of a sealed indictment in Federal
Court Monday charging woman, five
men and seven corporations with using
the mails in q scheme to defraud. A
precedent of two years standing-that
tie United States Attorneys Office in
the present crowded condition of the
calendar cannot take cognizance of
such casss-was broken only when it
was discovered that the total of the
alleged fraud was more than 50 900 900
and that its victims numbered nearly
10000.
In the Indictment, which was released
from seal yesterday the defendants are
charged not only with grossly mis-
stating the financial condition of the
company, but with the misappropration
Of the names of two widely known busi-
ness men to lend respectabiity to their
venture. These are Charles B. Man
Vile, founder of the w. II. Johns Man
vile Company, who made a national
reputation in the manufacture of as
bestos roofing, and w. H. Sage, once
president of the Iowa State Insurance
Company, whose name in the Middle
West is considered guaranty. The
former is named as president Of the
Century company and the latter as sec
retary at the top of hundreds of letters
and circulars the defendants are alleged
to have sent out TO prospective Gus
toners.
Elected Against Will
In testifying before the grand jury
Mr., Manvllle declared that his election
to the presidency had been put through
against his will and that he had four
times resigned the office. Despite this
statement many letters concerning the
value of the stock have come into the
possession of the government signed
with his name. The Federal prosecu-
tors believe that a possible explana-
tion of this fact may lie in rubber
stamp OF his signature which was
found among the company's papers.
The central figure in the alleged fraud
is thought to have been Mrs. Cora
Stetson Butler, trim dark haired
woman in her thirties, who has been
connected with oil promotion schemes
3
presario ten years ago Dressed in
the latest Paris creations, living at
the best hotels and driving racing
car, she won the friendship of many
prominent business men, among them
the eighty nine-year- old Manville, who
has had little connection with active
business for the past decade. 1t was
concern of which she was an officer,
the Century Oil Compan.., which vas
two years ago expanded and renamed
to consummate the alleged fraud.
Early in 1920, according to the ex-
planation Of the indictment given out
yesterday by Maxwell S. Mattuck, the
Assistant District Attorney who pre-
senred the case to the grand jury.
the promoters of six small and ques-
tionable oil companies are alleged to
have found that they had sold out the
market for their stocks and that no
more money could be raised from the

Crime Against Humanity
Specialization Is ''Conferring a

Saws Electricians Leader

CHICAGO, April 5.-Henry Ford,
Detroit automobile manufacturer, was
declared responsible for advancing spe-
calization in factories and accused of
"conferring a curse on his workers"
before the Railroad Labor Board to-
day in the wage hearing at which 2o4
railroads are seeking a 10 per cent
wage reduction.
Edward ]. Evans, e-president Of
the International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers, attacked the railroads.

too great specialization in shop work.
Henry Ford may have conferred a
blessing on many people-those who
own utomobiles--but he conferred a
curse on his workers. They sit at their
benches half dead, doing their bits Of
work mechanically over and over" the
union leader declared.
High specialization was asserted by
Mr.. Evans to be the worst crime
against humanity"
