A BOVE K street, in the 1000 block,
the first building on the east side which
stands back of the reservation, was Gustave
HartigS hardware store, probably conducted
by the family for more than fifty years. In
1890, previous to moving to this place, Mr..
Hartig had been in business on Pennsylvania
avenue.
Above Hartig's store Gustavus Giesler sold
boots and shoes and, incidentally, the present
generation may not realize that prior to so
years ago few men wore shoes, boots being
far the more popular These we're generally
made to order, and the finest calf-hide leather
was used. good shoemaker then was neces-
Sarily fine mechanic and besides, had to know
something of the construction of the foot.
Though the writer does feel that 1t would not
be such q bad idea for men to return to the
Colonial style of costume for social affairs, yet
he would not advocate the return to the wear
ing of boots, for he VIII never forget the

become wet from snow or rain. Here the boot

There were 15S seizures for adulteration and

where to locate one except perhaps In some
museum or chronological collection. Webster,
upon whom we rely when others disagree, tells
US that bootjack is "a device for pulling of
boots" and of course, as usual, Webster is
right.
Another bad feature about boots was that If
they were not well creased in wet weather when
they were removed and put aside to dry the
leather would become very stfd and another
set OF implements called boot hooks might
have to be used. So, talking It all In all, there

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Bread
lines, soup kitchens and other spec
tacular forms of relief were con-
demned today by the Presidents
organization on unemployed relief,
as destructive of the independence
and Self-respect of the unemployed.
Distribution of food and cloth
ing should be private and with a
view to individual needs, a resolu-
ton adopted by the committee on
administration of relief said, add
ing that the unemployment situa-
ton is a major crisis that requires
the active participation of all pub
lie and private corporations"
The committee refused to handle
surplus cotton and wheat held by
the federal farm board, on the
ground that this was outside it's
field. It did not, however, oppose
such measures by regular relief or
CARNATIONS.
Bread lines and soup kitchens,
conducted as a form of advertising
by commercial organizations, were
denounced as objectionable" and
the committee said they should be
condemned by public opinion"

BANK BANDIT Is KILLED;
KIDNAPPED CASHIER SLAIN
FOR REVENGE BY PALS

By United Press
MENOMONIE, Wis, Oct. 20.-A
kidnapped bank cashier was slain by
three rage-crazed bandits today in
revenge for the killing of one of
their companions as they fed from
the Kraft State bank, after a $1,000
holdup.
The dead were James Kraft, as
sistant cashier, and a bandit ten
tatively identified as Dudley"
Their bodies were thrown from
the fugitives' automobile six miles
south Of Wheeler. The machine
continued speeding westward, with
posses in pursuit.
Another victim of the bandits
gunfire was William H. Kraft. "a.
another assistant cashier of the
bank, who was wounded during the
holdup.
The four robbers descended on
the bank as it opened for business.
One stepped to the door and re-

you're lying" cried the bandit.
Kraft protested that he was tell
ing the truth, but the bandit aimed
his pistol at the assistant cashier
and fired.
A crowd of fifty persons had
gathered in the street outside the
bank. The fourth bandit kept the
area in front Of the institution clear
by shouting warnings and occasional
bursts of sub-machine gunfire.
He covered the retreat OF his COM
panions to the automobile, then
joined them.
In escaping, the trio inside the
bank seized Mrs. A. w. Scfafer,
one of the employees, and used her
as a shield. They also took James
Kraft along. Mrs. Schafer was re-
leased at the door.
At least two persons fired shots
after the automobile as it sped
away. One of these shots was be-
lieved to have struck the slain
bandit.

Nurse and School Teacher
Slain in Phoenix; Suspect

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20-A slight
and petty blonde, said by police to
have murdered two former girl
friends and then to have calmly rid
den here from Phoenix on the same
train with the two trunks and a suit
case in which she placed their bod
les, was hunted throughout the
southwest today.
She was Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd,
81, daughter of an Indiana minister,
described by her husband and a
brother as woman of great tenn
per and no nerves"
Authorities held her responsible
for Staying Miss Hedvig Samuelson,
Is, jobless school teacher, and Mrs.
Agnes Ann Leroi, 81, in Phoenix
and then bringing their bodies, one
dismembered, to Los Angeles in two
trunks and suitcase.
Her brother, D. j. McKinnell, 20,
University of Southern California
senior, was said by police to have
told them Mrs. Judd confessed to

cause
Relatives Are Held
McKinnell was held here as a
material witness, as was the wom-
ans husband, DR.. William Judd,
formerly of Phoenix.
Both denied any association with
the Sayings, although young Nc
Kinnel admitted, according to po-
lice, that his sister sought his aid
here in disposing of the bodies "in
the ocean"
The killings had been done in
Phoenix, Ariz., according to infor-
nation the authorities quickly
cleaned after they found the bloody
baggage here Monday. The body Of
Miss Samuelson had been dissected
in expert fashion.
Parts of the corpse were found
distributed in the three pieces of
baggage. The body of Mrs. Leroi,
who roomed' with Miss Samuelson,
and who had been her companion
earlier in Alaska, was not mutilated.
Bullets apparently caused death.
Authorities trailed two women on
a train bound for Phoenix today,
but when the train arrived at Phoe-
nix, they found no trace Of them.
With the train clew exploded, the
search for Mrs. Judd swung to Nc
Kinnell'S cabin in Beverly Glenn
canyon, near Los Angeles.
Find CIews in Cabin
Officers found that the cabin had
been occupied in the last few hours,
but neither Mrs. Judd nor her mys-
terious companion was there.
Remnants of pie and sandwiches,
still fresh, were found. McKinnell
denied h chad been to the cabin
recently.
Meantime, they had held her
brother and obtained from him
what they claimed was her story
that she had killed the women.
McKinnell, a 20-year-old student,
was questioned for hours before the
alleged statement was obtained
from him. What the good reason
mentioned by McKinnell may have
been only could be imagined, for he
had not revealed anything tangible.
The only clews the police had
were that the two dead women had
been neighbors of Mrs. Judd in
Phoenix. Moreover, according to
