Beats Robert P. White, Own

Makes Escape.

Robert P. White, owner Of the Clan
dore Inn, Twelfth and M streets, was
struck over the head with a pair of
brass knuckles and robbed of approx
mately $1,000 in cash by lone robber
shortly after noon today.
The man, well dressed and about IS
years old, came to Whites residence at
1875 Twelfth street and said he wished
to rent an apartment.
White took the stranger to the
apartment building nearby and into a
vacant apartment. The two men had
no sooner entered the apartment when
the robber struck White without warn
ing, the latter told police.
Although the blow failed to knock
the older man from his feet, he was in
a semi-conscious condition while the
robber went through his pockets, taking
a bill fold and lesser amount of money
in another pocket
The robber then fed Police were
told he was seen to run toward Massa-
chusetts avenue by persons outside the
apartment. When White regained his
faculties he telephoned for police.
White was believed not seriously in
1ured by the blow, which failed to break
the skin. The landlord and his sister,
Miss Mary Frances White, own the
Glandore Inn and several smaller build
ings in the block.
Miss White said her brother had
been collecting rent for some time and
had intended to deposit the money in a
bank, but had delayed because he was
busy. She said the money lost belonged
TO herself as well as her brother.

Men" she said, have thought along
the same lines for hundreds of years

their maternal instinct and their love
of humanity, are interested in running
business for the benefit of all. There
will be no excessive profits or underpaid

BANK WINS FIGHT
IN TAX CHECK CASE
Commercial National Held Not
Liable for $3.50 Allegedly Paid
on Fraudulent Refund.

District Supreme Court ruled today
that the Commercial National Bank
could not be held liable for $3.50
allegedly paid out on fraudulent tax re-
fund checks.
The Treasury Department had con-
tended the bank was liable for the
money on the theory it had guaranteed
prior Endorsement on the checks, some
OF which were forgeries
The decision of the court was based
on an agreed statement of facts pur-
porting to show that Joseph w. Frenzel,
1crmer employe in the District auditor S
Office. and c. Ray Severance devised a
scheme whereby the latter, under an
assumed name, made claims for tax re-
funds
Frenzel was said to have filled out the
necessary vouchers and Treasury De-
partment checks were drawn for the
fraudulent refund
Severance then allegedly forged in
dorsement on the checks and cashed
them.
Justice Jennings Bailey decided the
bank could not be held liable because
employees of the District auditors office
and the disbursing Office had failed to
make thorough investigation of the
refund claims before issuing the checks.

WELFARE BURDEN CUT
Recall of Workers to Industry in
Western Pennsylvania Held Aid.

PITTSBURGH, July 10 (P.-The re-
call of workers by industry and agri-
culture in the last 80 days helped re-
duce the welfare burden Of Western
Pennsylvania counties by more than
$4,000 families.
An Associated Press survey last night
discloses that more than 181 900 fami-
lies, or approximately 100000 persons,
depending on these communities for
support in June has been reduced to
1877 ,0O0-a decline of $4,000 persons.
Figured in dollars and cents, based
on average allowances like SIS month

$3.50 in Allegheny. the reduction
means savings of S224000 monthly to
