Is Fired Upon by Manager
of Second Place.

Swinging into action early this morn
ing, a youthful bandit held up one
filling station, abducted the manager
and appropriated his car, dumped the
victim out In the country after forcing
him to do the driving, then was sent
away in stream of fire after staging
a second flling-station hold-up In the
stolen automobile.
The bandit, soft-spoken and self-as-
sured, appeared first at $50 ct the Of
nee Of q station at North Capitol and
I streets. He held up the lone attend
ant on duty at the time, w. Victor
johnson, Of 1126 Eleventh street, and
pocketed about $35 OF the stations re-
ceipts.

believes the bandit must have been
lettering nearby and had seen him
working on the machine.
Forced TO Drive Car.
Menacing johnson with what ap-
peared to be q pistol in the pocket of
his dark overcoat, the robber ordered
johnson to get In that car" Johnson
climbed into the front seat while his
passenger made himself comfortable on
the rear cushions and directed q course
out northeast.

Nd, johnson said, the bandit told him
to stop the car and then directed him
to get out and walk. johnson did as
he was told and his automobile disap-
peared toward Largo.
At 1880 o'clock a man and autono-
bile answering the same description
pulled up before q filling station owned
by w. P. Irwin at Benning road and
Central avenue northeast, coming down
the latter thoroughfare from the d.
rection of Largo.
The driver alone in the machine,
stepped out and asked an attendant,
William H. Limerick of 110S owen

had and the man followed him inside

AS William Limerick went behind the
counter, the newcomer directed the two
filling station men to put up their
hands and stand before q window.
Keep quiet" he said, this won't take
but minute"
The brothers did as they were told,
and the robber kept a heavy caliber
revolver trained on them while he
searched the cash register. Just then
an early customer came to the ofdce
door,
Get out there and wait on that
fellow" the bandit said. He changed
his mind, however, as William Limerick
moved toward the door. mo, stay
where you are until I get out of here"
the bandit said, land when leave

I'll shoot"
The customer waited quietly outside,
unaware Of what was going on, while
the robber took $40 from the cash reg

he buttoned up his overcoat and step

EXTENDED IN CUBA
Constitutional Rights Sus-
pended Throughout Republic
at Presidents Request.
Ry tha Associatad Presa.

BY the Associated Press.
HAVANA, November 26.-The Cuban
Congress today presented President
Gerardo Machado with . new weapon
to use in his efforts to put down wide
spread anti-administration feeling.
1t authorized him to suspend consti-
tutional guarantees throughout the re-
public. He recently was authorized to
make the suspension in Havana and its
environs.
The President requested this addi-
tional power last week. The Senate
passed on his request, but the House Of
Representatives did not accede until
last night.
Heated argument developed before
the extraordinary measure was ap-
proved Carlos Manuel de Ia Cruz
talked for an hour. He said the only
way Cuba's troubles could be solved was
by resignation of the President.
Other opposition was on the ground
that the Presidents request implied an
unrestricted use Of Treasury funds to
maintain order. Suggestions Of resig-
nation were ridiculed by administration
supporters.

TAXICAB FARE SLASH
ANNOUNCED BY FIRMS
Black & White and Yellow Com
panies Reduce Rates to
80 Cents Mile.

A new element entered into the taxi
situation here today when the Black
g. White and Yellow Cab Companies
notified the Public Utilities Commission
that beginning Friday morning they
will reduce the rates Of fare on. their
taxicabs. The new rates will be 30
cents for the first mile and 20 cents
for each succeeding mile. The present
rates are IS cents for the first mile
and rs cents for each additional mile.
The letter of the company to the
commission, setting out the new rates,
said: I'm making this change we feel
that we comply with the public demand
for low taxi rates"
The yielding of the two concerns
named to the lower price level leaves
only one old line concern in the field
with the ascent meter pull, which is
equivalent to IS cents for the first mile.
That is the Mayfiower Taxi Co. And
this concern Is expected to follow suit.
