.LUNCHROOM MAN
FIRES AT BANDITS
Two Get SAL in Fourth Rob-
berry in Three Blocks With

An exchange of pistol shots early
this morning between Alexander p.
Eliades, proprietor of an all-night
lunchroom at 1916 Fourteenth street,
and two colored bandits, who had taken
SAT from the cash register failed to
prevent the escape of the bandits

Eliades was alone in his restaurant
when the two men. one tall and one

nished yesterday by three previous
hold-up victims, entered and pro-
ceeded to rob him, one man covering
HIM with a gun while the other
looted the cash register.
AS soon as the men reached the
street Eliades seized his 45-caliber
revolver, which was out of his reach
when he was held helpless at the
point of the bandits pistol, and fired
four shots at the fugitives who were
disappearing down Fourteenth street,
deserted at 1880 o'clock this morning.
One of the bandits wheeled and re-
turned his fire, shooting four times,
but the bullets went wild. Eliades
thought that he might have hit one
of the men, but police. who came
when they heard the firing, could
find no trace of blood to indicate
that a man had been wounded.

to the same general description held

up In the press. Newspapers would
be dull il they recorded only the ordi-
nary goings-on of an ordinary house
hold"
Bishop Deane thinks America has
the best roads, the best houses. the
best plumbing and the best buildings
in the world However, he doubts
the wisdom Of building skyscrappers
so tall. The higher you go the more
involved traffic becomes" he said. "A
subway ride at the rush hour is the
nearest approach to inferno that the
mind can imagine"
He contrasted the prosperity of the
workers in this country to the condi-
tions in Great Britain, where millions
are idle and many near starvation. In
Scotland many old families and mem
bers of the nobility are in poverty and
have had to tear down old houses be-
cause they couldn't pay the taxes on
them"
Admiration for America.
81 have an immense admiration
for America and the overwhelming
kindness of the people to visitors is
like nothing else in the world" the
bishop continued. II am certain that,
whatever America thinks of the
League of Nations. she cannot escape
her destiny and assume the leader
ship of the world" He said he
wanted to visit the Senate and hear
Senator Borah speak.
Bishop Deane is the sixth Bishop of
Aberdeen. He is in this country with
Very Rev. H. Erskine Hill, provost of
st. Andrews Cathedral, to return a
visit paid to the first Bishop of Aber-
dnar htrf ba f,.ef hich nj ~,
lea. In 1854, when the English gov
eminent under George III had refused
to permit the conservation of Samuel
Seabury of Connecticut as the first
bishop Of America, Seabury went to
Scotland and was consecrated by the
Lord Bishop of Aberdeen in an upper
room in a back street
The house in which the conservation
took place was torn down and re.
placed by a small cathedral. The
Bishop of Aberdeen now is asking
America to replace that building with
a new cathedral, which would be an
American shrine commemorative the
long connection between the two
churches. The British and American
flags would hang together above the
altar, and windows would be installed
as memorials to American citizens.
Early Ties With America.
1t seems that in the early days OF
| the American Episcopal Church II
was very close to it's. sister church in
! Scotland. In fact the Scottish church
was also being prosecuted by George
III. There was a penalty of six
months in prison for any minister WHO
conducted services in Scotland al
! which more than four persons weIf
present, and the penalty for a second
offense was life imprisonment. Serv.
| ices were held in secret.
| And once, says an old letter the
present bishop has, when the first
| Bishop OF Aberdeen ordered all his
clergymen to pray for George III there
was heard in church such blowing
Of noses, such significant huns, such
half-suppressed signs, such smothered
groans and such. confusion as could
hardly be imagined"
Which explains why the bishop
doesn't altogether disagree with big
Bill' Thompson.

Application Made for Administer
ing Alonzo o. Bliss Estate.

A. S. McGregor of Jefferson County,
Ala. who claims to be the largest
creditor of Alonzo o. Bliss, who died
in Miami, Fla, last March. today
asked the District Supreme Court to
appoint him as administrator of the
estate. which he AYERS is worth in
excess of 100000. McGregor says
he holds $4,000 of the notes OF the
Bliss properties bearing the indorse-
ment Of Mr.. Bliss. More than six
months has elapsed since the death
of Mr. Bliss, who left no will, and no
steps have been taken by any of his
heirs toward administration in the
District Of Columbia. AS the largest
creditor, the petitioner says, he is
entitled to letters of administration,
that the assets may be marshaled
and applied to the Indebtedness. He
is represented by Attorney George D.
Brabson.
