FIVE BANDITS STEAL
 $2,50Q, SUSPECT HELD
Harrison, N. J., Has Spec tacqlar Holdup at Car
 Barns This Morning

Harrison, N. J.. April 6.-Five masked robbers flourishing revolvers early today held up the stationmas- ter, cashier and two other employees of the Public Service Car barns and escaped in an automobile with s2,500 in cash which they secured from the rashier's cage.
 One of the alleged robbers was .rested later when James Kennedy, the cashier. claimed to have identl- jed him by his heavy voice as Ed yard Dooley, 27, former employe Jt the car barns. Kennedy said he recognized the voice when the rob- Aers ordered his hands up.
 The robbers were found to have ut telephone wires before making their raid, which later delayed pur- iut by police. John E. McCallum, night stationmaster, who was sitting in an outer office, was covered by three of the robbers while a fourth rrabbed him by the throat. Mccall um was marched to the cashiers off, Ice, where two holdup men covered Kennedy. The office door was open- d with a key taken from Mccall um'S pocket, Kennedy attempted to each for an alarm bell but a com nand and threatening move of a rob CTS gun changed his mind.
 Two others of the holdup gang lhen brought two other public serv- ice employees, Charles Nelmann and Michael Campion, into the office where all were lined up, faces to the wall. One man then took the money from the safe to their automobile and came back for pile of bills, the weekend receipts, but left several hundred dollars which had not been trapped up.

Highest Rental Euer Paid Here
 Obtained For Main St. Block
W. T. Grant Co. to Give $6S8,0O0 for 26 Years to Farley, Levitt and Me- Donough.

William J. Farley, George Le Witt and P. F. McDonough, today leased to the w. T. Grant Co. the Ward block at 2SS-2S9 Main street, for a term of 26 years, the net rental for which will be s6SS,000.
 The rental to be paid by the Grant Co. is the highest rental per year ever paid for in the City of New Britain.
 The present building will be re- moved and replaced by modern de- partment store, housed in the first floor and basement of a building with 50 foot frontage and 200 feet depth. The building will be two stories in height, entrance to the scc- ond floor being by way of the Gen. tral block which is also the property of Messrs. Farley, Le Witt and Mo Donough.
 Terms of the Grant lease are as follows: For the first six years, S23,- 900 per annum; for the next 10 years $25,000 per annum and for the last 10 years sS0,000 per annum. The Grant Co. will pay all taxes, insur- ance and other charges incident to the maintenance of. the building. The present building will be removed and another substitute at cost of approximately S150,00O, one-half of which will be advanced by the les sors.
 There are three stores, several of- fices and apartments in the building to be removed. The Soda Shoppe, owned by S. NJ. Davidson and Charles Bernstein, is the only store having lease, and under it's terms 1t can occupy the building until No- vember 1, 1925. Mohill Brothers, news dealers and stationers, and the Economy Grocery Co. have stores in the building and must vacate.
 The contemplated new building will be ready for occupancy about three mosths after work is started and 1t Is the intention of the Grant Co. to begin business in the latter part of this year. Between 1S,OOO and 10000 square feet of floor space will be available, this including the departments in the basement. The standard Grant store front, similar to the one in Hartford, will be in- stalled.
 The Wark block is situated in the center of the highest land value zone in the city. Valuations per front foot are higher at this point than at any other place in New Britain, and 1t is regarded as the hub of the city's business wheel.
 The lessee, w. T. Grant, has had success in the dollar de- partment store bushes. He started with one store In Lynn, Mass. about IS years ago and now has chain of more than so stores. As an indi- cation of the success his business has met, a recent report on depart nent store earnings showed the Grant sales in 1917 to have been 8, ,o00.o .o00 and those of 1924 to have been se5,oOO,OOO.
