WOMAN IS JAILED
INROBBERY PROBE
- 90 y -" q 3
Escort Escapes in Clash With
Police on Connecticut
. Avenue.

Fashionable Connecticut avenue
was the scene Of gunplay and a stun
ningly dressed young woman battling
policeman for her freedom, shortly
after 8 o'clock last night, when Fl. o.
Sikorra, bank cashier. frustrated a
supposed attempt to steal package
of so dresses from the establishment
of Mrs. Juliette NJ. Allen, 1905 Con-
necticut avenue.
Working overtime in the Connecticut
avenue branch of the District Nation
al Bank, Sikorra became suspicious
when he saw a young man and wom-
an leave the place next door, and
started to trail them, calling to Walter
Taylor, the doorman on duty at the
Club st. Marks, 1011 Connecticut ave-
nue., to summon a policeman.
The pair. evidently feared they were
being watched, and when Policeman
C. III. Lutz of the third precinct put
in his appearance they started to run.
Policeman LutZ fired two shots after
the man, but halted when he came
to the Eighteenth street traffic. and
gave up the chase.
When the policeman attempted to
take the woman into custody. she
gave battle and it was some moments
before he subdued her.
Taken to police headquarters. the
young woman said she was Marie
Rhein, 25 years old. and lived at an
address on Pennsylvania avenue, later
found to be fictitious. After question.
ing the woman more than an hour,
Detectives Kelly. Weber, Ogle, Darnall
and Waldron admitted they knew no
more than when they started. The
detectives said that the young woman
told them many things which they
could not verify and that they are
confident she has not given her right
name.
The woman's handbag contained
more than $1G0, an apartment house
key and trinkets. 1t was said that
the detectives had learned that a
woman and man answering the de-
scription of the detained woman and
her escaped companion had been 1iv.
ing on lower Pennsylvania avenue,
but recently moved to an apartment
house.
1t is believed by the detectives that
the pair used duplicate key to enter
Mrs. Aliens store and they are pre-
sumed to have intended to drop by
later In the evening and get the
package of dresses which had been
wrapped up and placed near the door.
A further investigation Is expected
to accomplish the arrest Of the young
woman's escort OF last night, and
establish her own identity.

BANDITS CAPTURE
|SBEL|EvED NEAR
Sheriff and Posse Pursue
Quartet of Bank Robbers
Into Mountains.
By a STAFF Correspondent.


WOODSTOCK, Va, July Is
Capture Of the bandit quartet which
held up the Mount Jackson National
Bank Monday was believed imminent
today as Sheriff r. M. Borden Of
Shenandoah County plunged into the
mountain fastenesses in pursuit of
the fugitives.
Sheriff Borden, who yesterday
routed a band of strange horsemen
on Second North Mountain, today
started for Wilson's Cove, with a
fresh posse, determined to solve the
mystery of the riders, who are be-
lieved to be friends or relatives of
the bandits, probably acting as out
posts to warn them of the approach
Of the posses and to bring them food.
At z clock this mrning the sheriff
telephoned from the rangers cabin
below Devils Hope Gap. % miles
from here, that he had found Moth
ing and was returning to his office
here. Four hours later he had not
returned and nothing had been heard
from him. The rangers cabin is less
than an hours drive from here.
Believed Pursuing Bandits.
Justice Arthur Stickney. in charge
of the sheriff's office during his abb
sence, was convinced that Borden
had found something hot" There
could be no other explanation of his
continued absence without commune
eating with his office, Stickney said.
He said he was convinced that the
sheriff had plunged into the heart of
the mountains in pursuit of the
quartet and if such was the case their
capture was more than possible.
Tiny heel prints yesterday indicated
that the fugitives-two men and two
women, believed to be from Washing
ton-had retraced their steps from
Old North Mountain and had doubled
back into Second North Mountain.
Then came the sighting of the horse
men, who fed at the approach of the
sheriff's posse. This indicated that
the fugitives were hiding somewhere
in the mountain, depending on moon
sinners for food and aid in escaping
the pursuing posses.
Every Road Watched.
Stickney7 said today that every ave-
nue. Of egress from the mountain is
watched. Posses under Sheriff Borden
and Sheriff Paine of Hardy County,
w. Va, now number about so men,
and they are watching every road
leading out of the mountains. In addi-
tion to the posses, local police in every
town near the mountain are on the
lookout, and it seems impossible for
the fugitives to escape. -.
The difficulty of penetrating into
the mountains and of searching out
all the innumerable caves and other
hiding places has made the immediate
capture of the band doubtful, but
Borden's fresh sally into the mountain
today indicated that he was directly
on the trail and might bring the
quarry to bay at any moment.
c. I. Dellinger, bookkeeper at the
robbed bank, has furnished descrip-
tions of the bandits, which by now are
familiar to everybody in this region
Dellinger accuses his cousin, Kirby
Dellinger, of being the leader of the
band. -.....-. :,

certain specific charges levied by the
District association We're taken up
Nearly two score golfers of Wash
ington gathered In the lobby of the
MayfloWer Hotel at the hour set for
the hearing. but not more than half
dozen persons were in the room while
the actual inquiry was under way.
Voigt was represented by E. G. Al
word, member of the Bannockburn
Golf Club. and Henry L. West.
Other witnesses heard during the
early hours of the inquiry included
Robert Augustine, president of the
Glenwood Colt Club of Richmond,
where Voigt played in an exhibition
match in May; a colored caddie, who
carried Voigt's clubs in the Indian
Spring Club tournament, and Alvord,
who talked with Ramsey in New York
about the Voigt case two days ago,
and West.
Difficulty Is Expected.
The District of Columbia Golf AS
ISOLATION eligibility committee. which
made the ruling on Voigt's local play
a week ago, was not represented at
the early hearing, although Ramsey
said they would be heard it they cared
to present testimony In favor OF their
finding.
Voigt himself was said to have made
a direct statement, refutng certain
allegations which would have impaired
his standing as an amateur golfer.
Little question remained In the
minds of many who waited For more
than two hours outside the hearing
room that Voigt will have difficulty re-
tanning his amateur standing.
Mr.. Ramsay explained that the DIS.
trict association wrote the United
States Golf Association several weeks
ago, placing before it a hypothetical
case involving a John Doe," whom
Mr.. Ramsay said was Voigt. The
United States Golf Association wrote
the District association 1t already had
Voigt's case under consideration and
was conducting an Independent In
quiry. A few days afterward came
the ruling of the local golf body declar'
ing Voigt ineligible to defend his Dis
trict championship.
Amateur Is Defined.
The definition OF an amateur golfer,
as laid down by the United States
Golf Association in rulings and inter
pretations, follows:
"An amateur golfer Is one who, at
tanning the age Of sixteen years, has
not:
"a. Carried clubs for hire.
"b. Received any consideration
either directly or indirectly. for play
ing or for teaching the game, or for
playing in a match or tournament.
&c. Because of his skill as a golfer
received after the 31st of December,
1922, a salary or remuneration, either
directly or indirectly. from any firm
dealing in goods relating to the play
ing of the game.
ID. Played for money prize in any
competition.

IN MEMoRIAM

In loving memory of Mrs. Margaret
Jane Emory, who passed away, March
4, 1926:
Mother was tired and weary.
Weary with toll and with pain:
Put by her glasses and rocker,
She will not need them again.
Into Heavens mansions she's entered,
Never to sigh, or to weep,
After long years with life'S struggles,
Mother has fallen asleep.
Near other ones we laid her,
Low in the churchyard to lie,
And though our hearts are near broken,
Yet we would not question, "Why?"
She does not rest meath the grasses.
Tho DER her dear grave theY. creep,
She has gone into the Kingdom,
Mother has fallen asleep.
Rest the tired feet now forever,
Dear wrinkled hands are so still,
BlaSt of the earth shall no longer
Throw Ger our loved one a chill.
Angels through heaven will guide her,
Jesus will bless and keep,
Not for the world would we wake her,
Mother has fallen asleep.
Beautiful rest for the weary,
Well deserved rest for the true,
When our life's journey is ended
We shall again be with you.
This helps to quiet our weeping,
Hark! Angel music so sweet
He giveth to His beloved
Beautiful, beautiful sleep.
Husband and Dau ghter.
