Bandit Blocks Road Near Port Chester, N. Y, But Raschkows and Stern Escape After Dash.

Their path blocked by an automo- bile highwayman in the dead of night, party of New Britain peo- pie had an experience yesterday morning on the Greenwich Stamford road more thrilling than any they had ever experienced, and more dangerous than they were able to realize at the time.
 Louis Raschkow, his mother, Mrs. Tillie Raschkow, and his sisters, Eva and Sylvia. all of A Camp street, and Nat Stern, manager of the John Irving Shoe store, were returning to New Britain from Port Chester. N. Y, about 3:15 o'clock when they encountered the bandit. Louis Raschkow was driving up the grade a short distance from Stam- ford when the bandit appeared suddenly out of the darkness and forced the local man to stop by steering in front of his car diagonal ly across the highway.
 Put 1t in reverse, Louis" Miss Eva Rasckow shouted 10 her brother as the bandit, a white mask across his face. revolver in one hand and blackjack under his other arm, stepped from his car and advanced threateningly towards the cal party. Louis obeyed and backed his car down hill. The bandit ran back to his car. turned 1t around and drove down the hill, forcing Raschkow again to the side of the road. Eva Raschkow kept her hand on the horn hoping to attract atten- tion or frighten the bandit away, but he maneuvered his car to match every move of the local driver.
 AS the cars were again spanning the roadway and the bandit was preparing to leave his car. the local party sighted a truck a short dis tance up the road. twas obvious that unless the truck stopped. either or both of the other cars would be struck. AS the bandit drove his car out of the path of the truck, Rasch- kow. thinking quickly, shot ahead and with fairly good start. hoped to win the dash to Stamford.
 The bandit, however. was not to be outdone and was quick to give pursuit. As he was gaining on the local car, three policemen were sight ed on the road, two of them being in a car waiting for their brother officer to put in a duty call. Stop ping near them, the local people told of their experience and as the po- licemen were about to accompany them back towards the scene of the attempted holdups, the bandits car sped by. The police gave chase, but their car was unable to keep pace and they lost their quarry. The ban dit shut off the lights on his car as he approached the policemen and is reported to have driven through Stamford without turning them on.
 Everyone in the local party was wearing valuable winter coats and Mrs. Raschkow and Eva were wearing jewelry Sylvia, aged 1O, was quite disturbed at the exper- fence and remarked after it was over that the bandits could have had her 5 cents for the asking. Mrs. Rasch- kow suffered considerably from the fright of the incident.
 Stern was asleep in the rear seat of the car when the bandit made his first attempt at the holdup. As the car started to back down the hill in reverse gear, the jar awakened him. What are you going back for, Louis?" he asked. Then he saw the bandit, gun in hand, and the ser iousness of the situation dawned on him.

OIL SHARES SHOW GREATER STRENGTH
Trading Today Is on Broader
 Scale

New York, Feb. 1 CP-Revival of activity and strength in the oil shares, and a resumption of bullish operations in the so-called merger rails" divided chief speculative in- terest In today's rising stock market. Trading was on slightly broader and larger scale, indicating a re- awakening of public interest
 With a huge investment demand apparently still unsatisfled. as indi- cated by the heavy over-subscription of recent bond offerings, pools were encouraged to resume operations In stocks which have promising divi- dend possibilities. Large bear trad CTS apparently had temporarily with drawn from the market, or confined their activities to the covering of stocks In which the bear position was believed to be unwieldly.
 Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred was the sensational individual per former. soaring nearly II points to 74H, a new high record price since the reorganization Of the road in 1916, and nearly 30 points above the low level of last month. The com mon lowered around 64. Western Maryland common and second pre- ferred. jumped about points each to new peak prices. Other rails also displayed a strong undertone despite predictions that the combined net operating Income of class 1 carriers will be more than 10 per cent below the same month of 1925. and nearly 30 per cent below November
 Wall street opening.
 Stock prices displayed a firm un- dertone at the opening of today's market. The decrease of over s3S.- bringing the total down over $S6,- 900. .00o below the peak of the month. coincident with an increase in com- mercial loans, had bullish effect on sentiment. General Motors and U. s. Cast Iron Pipe each showed gains of 1 1-4 points,
 The upward movement became more pronounced as trading pro- gressed. with pools again resuming operations in a number of specialties. Motors, oils, rubbers and merger rails" gave the best exhibitions of group strength in the early trading, but there were several laggards in each group. The optimistic tenor of the monthly bank reviews and the continued easy money rates had a bullish effect on speculative senti- ments. Canadian Pacific, Houston Oil, Colorado Fuel, R. H. Macy and National Supply sold at their highest prices in years. Large buying orders were executed in Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies, Nash Motors, Western Maryland common and the Wheel ing 6 Lake Erie issues. Pullman quickly sold off three points on the traditional selling on the good news" following the announcement of a proposed capitalization plan. Southern Dairles A was one of the fey weak spots. Resumption of the advance in Spanish pesetas. which touched another new high since 1920 at 16.79 cents featured the steady foreign exchange market Demand Sterling ruled around S4.S2 1-2 and French francs just below 3.93.
