BANDITS
SLIP OUT Of
POL|CENET
Not a Clue Traced in $4,000
HoIdup Which Police
Say Was "Perfect"

Police today admitted they
are without a single clue as to
the identity or whereabouts Of
the bandits who yesterday
held up the East Capitol
Street branch of the Washing
ton Mechanics Savings Bank
and escaped with slightly more
than $4,000. They character
lied the holdup as IAN almost
perfect crime. "
Minute inspection for finger
prints at the bank and on the
stolen automobile used by the
bandits revealed that the hold-up
men erased what prints they may
have left on the car.
Detective Sergeant Fred Sand
berg, fingerprint expert, said the
men did not use gloves.
Suspects Released ~
Four men and a woman ar
rested yesterday in connection
with "jewelry racket" were ques-
toned in connection with the
connection with the bank robbery,
but were abSolVed of any connec-
ton with the crime.
The automobile used by the
bandits was stolen on January IL
from Randolph Dossett, salesman
for the Blanton Motor Company,
who was demonstrating the ma
chine to them at the time.
Police today were also investi-
eating a note turned over to
them. It was written on a post
card and addressed to a local
newspaper. 1t said:
'WeIl, well. Depression. No
work. Bank $4,000. / hated
to do it, but I can't Starve.
(Signed) "a. B. M.
Zone member)."
Jokester's Comedy
Inspector Frank S. w. Burke,
chief of detectives, said he be-
lieved the note written by some
one with a distorted sense of
humor.
The robbery occurred yesterday
shortly before closing time when
the gang cowed tellers and Gus
toners with machine gun and
revolvers, and escaped with $14,-

z INJURED HERE
IN OTTONF|RE

Fifteen thousand pounds of raw
cotton were destroyed and two
firemen were injured today in a
fire at the Bureau of Agriculture
Economics of the Department of
Agriculture at 800 Linworth st.
S. w.
Lieut.. r. ]. Holmes, colored,
of No. Company, was cut on
the hand by glass, while Private
j. M. Carter, colored, of the same
company, was overcome by smoke
while working in the building.
1t is believed spontaneous COM
busion or heat pipes that lead
from the furance, directly under
the first floor where the cotton
was stored, caused the fire.
The firemen were hampered
by dense smoke. They were
forced to pull each bale from the
building to the street to extin-
guish the blaze. The building,
of brick and concrete. was not
damaged except for flooded
cellar.
Cotton is sent to the depart
ment for tests from all parts of

OFFICIAL ZONES
GET COURT D. K.

The authority of Congress to
authorize the District Commis-
Sioners to set aside certain official
parking zones for use of mem
bers of Congress and other Gov
ernment officials while on official
business was upheld today in a
decision given by Police Court
Judge John r. Mcmahon.
Judge McMahon's decision was
rendered in the case of Julian
Wegman, of the Department Of
Justice, who was arrested early in
December for parking in an off,
cial zone. Police said Wegman
did not display card, issued by
the Commissioners, on his car to
show that he had a right to park
in the zone.
Judge Mcmahon then question
ed the right of Congress to set
aside certain zones for the use
of officials, excluding others from
the zones.
After considering a brief sub
mitted by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Stanley DeNeale, how
ever, he held that in view Of
present conditions which necessi-
tate officials travelling from build
ing to building, they should be
allowed reserved parking spaces
to facilitate their work. He dis
missed the charge against Veg
man when. the man proved he
was engaged in pursuit Of his
duties.
