Loots Bakery Truck al
Gun Point; Aided BY
Two Companions.

A fapper bandit made her debut
in Indianapolis this morning and
outlined her plans for making a
series of appearances in the near
future.
The girl, young and pretty, aided
two companions in holding up and
robbing Mervin Fallmer, 1888 Ash
land avenue, a driver for the Omar
Baking Company, of $25.
Fallmer was accosted by bandit
who boarded his truck near Wash
ington street and Sherman drive
and forced at the point of a pistol
to drive out the Brookville road to
a lonely spot.
A large coupe, in which the girl
and another man were riding, fol-
lowed the truck to its destination.
When the truck was halted the
girl took charge of operations.
Get out OF that truck" she COM
manded, and Fallmer, still facing
the pistol, obeyed.
"It's Cigaret Money"
While the bakery driver stood on
the ground the girl searched him
rapidly and expertly and unlocked
his money belt containing $25.
rs that all you have?" she asked
disdainfully, why that's hardly
worth our time. But even SO, it's
cigaret money She pocketed the
loot
"And speaking of cigarets, Char
lie, give me a fag."
Lighting up a cigaret, she talked
boastfully of her plans to stage a
series of similar holdups in the near
future.

One of the bandits produced a
bottle and proffered it to Fallmer.

"Here, what's the idea! I'm
freezing to death out here. Let me

and drank deeply
After throwing the key of Fall

The girl ,Fallmer said, was nattily,
almost fashily dressed. Her short
bobbed hair was covered by hat
of the latest mode, and she wore a
short leather jacket, short skirts,
and a bright scarf.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-William

Publish Liquor Survey Results
While these two developments
were engaging the attention of
supporters and opponents of prohi-
bition, the New York Telegram, in
copyrighted article, published the
results of a survey showing that
"a per cent of the liquor sold in
New York speakeasies contained
poison in some form Ten per cent
of New York's liquor supply con-
tanned wood alcohol, the Telegram
said.
Thirty investigators worked three
weeks getting 504 samples from 400
drinking places in Manhattan.
These samples all we're analyzed by
registered chemists, who found, the
Telegram said:
That f1fty-f1ve contained wood al
cohol.
That seventy others had poison
Gus impurities resulting from i'm
proper renaturing.
That 362 others, while drinkable,
either we're purely synthetic Or cut
so they had only 5 to 20 per cent
of genuine liquor
The highest percentage of wood
alcohol was one-half of i per cent.
Places selling wood alcohol were re-
visited for new samples, so that in
some cases triple proof was obtained
against them.
Advice to Whalen
The list of establishments selling
wood alcohol was turned over to
Police Commissioner Whalen for his
guidance, and the telegram urged
him to concentrate against them in
his drive against speakeaSies.
Inc newspaper said that sixty
known deaths had occurred in New
York City from wood alcohol drink
ing in 1923, or twice as many as in
1927 and three times as many as in
1926.
In an editorial the Telegram said
the city has 10000 speakeasies, and
called on Commissioner Whalen to
center his raids where they will do
