BANK BANDITS
GET S9,03l
|NHOLDUP
Menace Employees With Guns
and Escape in Sedan
Parked at Front Door

Three unmasked bandits s
shortly before noon today held
up the Washington Mechanics
Savings Bank, 3608 Georgia
Ave. N. W, and made their
getaway with $9,031.
The robbers, described by
bank employees as apparent
amateurs" were very nervous
and left several thousand dol
lars in the cash drawer from
which they took their loot.
The trio, all armed, came into
the bank from an automobile
parked in front, in which "a
fourth man was said to have
waited.
"Stick Them Up"
The largest Of the three, about
"a, told Paying Teller Thomas
E. Elgin:
"We're not going to hurt
you. Damn you, stick them up"
He ordered Elgin, Assistant
Cashier Lloyd w. Davis, Daniel
Fingerhut, paying teller, and
Mrs. Maude H. Clark, a clerk, to
go into the back room. All
obeyed.
Following this, two of the
bandits hurdled a five-foot coun-
ter extending across the bank
lobby and began ransacking the
drawer. Meanwhile, the third
man shepherded the four en-
ployes into the rear room.
Told To Lie Down
Will Marshall S. Sanderson
and L. j. Lamb, both paying tell
ers, who were already in the
rear room, they were ordered to
lie on the floor.
When his comrades shouted to
him, the man guarding the en-
ployes-left them and all three
ran to the waiting car.
Mr.. Elgin Immediately called
police and within two minutes
several scout cruisers arrived, to
be followed shortly by Headquar-
ters detectives.
Detectives expected to secure
finger-prints from marks left by
the men on the mahogany top OF
the counter as they leaped over
it.
Lookout Is Broadcast
A lookout was broadcast for
the getaway car, a small sedan
bearing Maryland tags.
Merchants in the vicinity said
the car was seen parked about
a block from the bank some
time before the holdup.
Elgin, to whom the robbers
addressed their sparse remarks,
said all three were young, wore
lightcolored clothes, but were not
particularly well dressed.
Beside the five employees, the
only person in the bank at the
time of the robbery was a
woman depositor. She left as
soon as she saw what was going
on, but returned to give police
a description of the bandits.
Agree Three Armed
Although all agreed that there
were only three bandits with
guns, employees of the bank gave
different estimates as to how
many accomplices were with the
armed trio.
Mr.. Elgin said he thought there
were only three altogether. An
other employe said a fourth man
stood near the door as a lookout,
while still another employees said
two unarmed men were with the
gang.
Entire loss is covered by in
surance, A. Scott Offutt, vice
president of the bank, said. An
other branch of the same bank
was robbed sometime AGO

Report of School Cash Status
Asked by County, But
Request ignored

Teachers in Arlington county
schools will not be paid today
because of the failure of the
county school board last night
to present to the county COM

the county board demands be-
fore it will authorize the school
board to negotiate a $4,000
loan.
Request for the loan was made
by the school board Monday at a
joint meeting of the school and
county boards. In view of ir-
regularities which State auditors
claim to have discovered in the
school books and in view of nu-
merous unpaid bills incurred by
the school board more than a
year ago which have not been
paid despite the necessary appro-
priations, county officials de-
Ehanded a statement of school fl
nanceS.
Although Fletcher M. Kemp, su
perintendent of schools, promised
to have the statement ready by
last night. neither he nor any
member of the school board was
present at the meeting and no
financial statement was presented.
According to Kemp, there is a
balance of $4,000 in the school
fund while the payroll today
amounts to $4,000. Fred A. Cos
nell, county commissioner, how
ever, expressed the opinion that
neither Mr. Kemp nor the school

WHITNEY DID NOT TELL MUCH ABOUT
 BEAR RAIDERS
Hoover Regime Indictment of New York Market Falls Flat

Washington, April 13-(UP)- Some members of the baffled sen- ate banking committee are seeking to employ Samuel Untermeyer to prosecute the administration in- dictment of bear raiders, despite fears of regulars that the famous "Puo money trust investigator would "tear things wide open"
 Untermeyer has let it be known he is willing to serve.
 In two days of questioning Rich ard Whitney, president of the New York Stock exchange, the commit tee learned that the short interest has declined since April 1; that the past fortnight's slump squeezed sS,000, 100000 from market values; and that there are large short in- terests in General Motors and United States Steel.
 The committee got practically nothing from Whitney to support administration charges of bear raiding. That is why there is a demand for Untermeyer. The New Yorker might pry de. sired facts from future witnesses Since 1879 when he was admit. ted to the bar. Untermeyer has famed across the legal horizon | from one celebrated case to an. other. He conducted the house banking and currency committed many years ago for the "Pujt money trust investigation" Hi subpoenaing and questioning of thu
 elder J. P. Morgan was a pubi
 sensation.
 Untermeyer is rich, powerful an,
 at the top of his profession. Hi appearance in the bear-and- -bul
 investigation might clarify . con
 fused situation.

 far, entered blanket denials of tn
 existence of bear raiding, defend ed short selling, commended spec | ulation as the means by which tn, United States had been built to it! present position and left the wit ness chair yesterday afternoon witt his calm unruffled. Tho investiga ton then was adjourned until Mon | day.
