Robbed; Is First in city's
Crime Annals

Chicago, April o.-(F)-Five snarl-
ing. cursing thieves. masked and

ton last night. taking $1,000 in
money and jewels. It was the first in
stance in Chicago police records Of a
holdup inside place Of worship.
Laurence Bungardean, Rumanian
vice consul, was among the few to
escape loss. He was mistaken for one
who already had been searched, and
was ordered to one side.
Took Half m Hour
For nearly half m hour the rob-
bers, .s0mc with pistols, some with
shotguns, moved among the congre-
cation. which had been ordered to
line up against wall. From the arms
and hands Of the women the robbers
snatched bracelets and rings. The
mems pockets yielded billfolds and
watches.
The robbers, frequently breaking
the silence Of the church with curses,
held handkcrchiefs to their faces, but
before the robbery was finished two
Of them had abandoned this method
Of concealment. Some members of the
congregation said they recognized
these two, and their names were later
given police.
A special meeting was being held to
hear Victor Phillips, Bucharest, rep.
resentative Of the Rumauian govern
ment In the tenth anniversary ccle-
bration Of United Rumania to be OBJ
served In Bucharest in May. The
meeting was In the church parlors,
where Queen Marie Of Rumania was
guest during her Chicago visit.
Lecture Ncarcd End
Mr.. Phillips was nearing the end
Of his address when the robbers ran
down the aisle from the front en-
trance. The speaker stopped in the
middle Of q sent .ce, and the startled
congregation huddled silent in their
pewS.
The robbcr chief, shouting oatlls,
ordered everyone to line up against
the wall. Three of the band stationed
themselves at the exits. The leader
and another moved among the con-
gregation, taking what yaluablcs they
could find.
In the leisyrely search the robbers
came to Rabbi Harris 0oldstein and
took 422 from his billloid. Observing
the rabbits name on It, the leader told
his aide to return the money.
Robbess Are Fooled
As the robbers approached N. J..
Braunstein he slipped his watch into
the hand Of his wife. At the same
time. Mrs. Ross Weissler gave Mrs.
Braunstein $500 diamond ring. Mrs.
Braunstein dropped the valuables
into box Of doughnuts she carried.
and when the robbers approached she
held the box out to them, Offering
them doughnut. The thieves passed
BY without examining the contents Of
the box.
J. D. Raynes offered $l.DO to the
robbers as they approached him. Tim
the shamus" (janitor). he said. Keep
It," said the robber chief.

Admiral William H. Standby, United
States Navy assistant chief of naval
operations, will clock the eight speak
eTs in the Sixth National Oratorical
Contest finals in the Washington Audi
forum one week from Saturday night.
according to Randolph Leigh, contest
director general
Gen. Fries and Admiral Standby were
invited to be the official timekeepers
and they generously accepted the as
signment which will mean holding
each speaker to 10 minutes. Through
out the contest. from the earliest
stages of interschool competition. the
boys and girls who competed for the
national championship have been
obliged to heW to the 10 minutes time
limit, and the rigidity of that rule
will not be lessened in une finals.
Applause Ruled Qua.
It Is because Of the time limit that
the audience in the auditorium the
night of the finals will be cautioned to
refrain from applause during the de-
livery of q speech. The officers will
begin counting time against speaker
with the first word OF the speech
proper which means that the Saluta-
ton to presiding officers and audience
will not be included in his time. Time
used by the audience in applause will
not be added to the contestants speak
ing period so that instead of en-
Couraging a speaker, applause would
serve only to place handicap upon
him.
At the conclusion of 10 minutes il
q speaker still is talking, either Gen.
Fries or Admiral Standby will sound
a blast on a whistle and the con-
testant must cease speaking immedi-
ately. II he continues to speak after
the signal is sounded the contestant
automatically is dropped to last place
in the official rating. Hating upon the
whistle blast. however, speaker will
be judged upon what he has said up
to the moment.
Final PreIiminaries Listed.
The contestant field will be COM
pleted Friday night at Chicago and
New York, where the last two of the
eight zone finals will be held. To date
only one girl has reached the finals
and she Is Miss Elizabeth v. Corey of
