BANDITS VICTIM
BELIEVED DYING
Little Hope Is Held for Grocer
Shot During HoId-Up
Saturday.

Attending surgeons at Emergency
Hospital have abandoned hope for the
recovery of Sam Stolar, grocer at
1000 street, who was shot in the
neck by a Colored bandit Saturday
night while struggling for possession
of the latters pistol. The wounded
man appeared to be in fairly good
condition Saturday night, but d
change for the worse came yesterday
paralysis resulting, and the patient
IS conscious only at intervals.
Detectives today are trying to de-
termine if the man who shot Stolar
is the same individual who, earlier
in the night. made an unsuccessful
attempt TO hold up Louis Marshall,
Colored grocer at 1106 T street. Mar
shall disarmed the man who pointed
the weapon at him and demanded his
cash. Detectives thought it hardly
likely that he obtained a second pistol
in SO short a time and attacked Stolar.
Descriptions of the men seen at the
two places are not similar, according
10 detectives. Marshall got a good
look at him when in his store, and
Alice Thomas, colored 1906 Eleventh
street, saw Stolar's assailant as he
left the latters place of business after
the shooting.
Cap May Give Clue.
Stoar told the detectives he was
scanning his days receipts at the cash
register and did not hear the bandit
when the latter entered the store, his
first knowledge of his presence there
being when he heard a command to
throw up your hands" He grabbed
hold of the weapon and it was quickly
discharged, sending the bullet into his
neck. Because of the dangerous loca
tion of the bullet, surgeons have been
unable to operate.
Detectives Kelly, Waldron, Sweeney
and Scrivener, composing Inspector
Grants murder squad" are being as
sisted by other members of the detec-
tive corps and members of the pre-
cinct commands. A cap dropped in
Marshall's store when the latter strug-
gled and disarmed the bandit may be
the means of fastening the crime upon
the guilty one should detectives sue
ceed in capturing him.

Minister Talks
(By the Associated Press)

WAtr INGTON. D. c. Aug. 28.-For-
mutation of a plan to prevent illegal
and excessive immigration from Mexico
into the United States was undertaken
today by committee appointed by the
conference here of representatives of the
American and Mexican federations Of
labor.
The conference was prepared to re-
ceive the committee suggestions later in
the day to be used as a basis in work
ing out some declaration of policy and
principles on the problem to be present
ed to the American and Mexican gov
ernments. Entry of Mexicans into the
United States in violation of the con-
tract labor law was indicated as the
chief angle of the problem under study.
AS the principal speaker at a dinner
given him last night by the American
Federation, Luis N. Morones, minister
of industry, commerce and labor in the
Mexican government, who is attending
the conference, discussed the aims of
the Mexican government with respect to
labor and industry. Brief addresses
also were delivered by Secretaries
Hoover, and Davis, Commissioner Cen
eral Hall of the immigration bureau,
tand Ambassador Teller, of Mexico. The
Americans expressing the sympathetic
attitude of their country toward Mexi-
cos problems.
Senior Morones said that while the
Mexican government was described as
labor government, it's aims embraced
the welfare of the nation as a whole
and to promote that welfare it might
even be necessary for it to sacrifice
some part of it's program to better the
position of Mexican labor. Its pratical
aim, he said, was to increase the eff
ficiency of Mexican workers through
technical knowledge and at the same
time to show them that their own in
terest lies in assisting to upbuild Mexi'
can industry.
