TAXI BANDITS
ROB WOMAN IN
FRONT OF BANK
Narrowly Miss Capture by
Police Who Reach Scene
Seconds Later.

Three armed bandits, who last
night held up the young women
managers of three beauty shops as
the latter were placing their days
receipts in the night depository of
the Indiana National bank, today
were the object of an intensive
search by police, from whom they
escaped by a matter of split seconds
after committing the crime last
night.
The three bandits, all of whom
carried automatic pistols, obtained
only SIT in the holdup, since two
of the three young women held up
just had finished depositing their
receipts when the bandits arrived in
a Communicated taxicab. One of
the two had deposited more than
$500.
The women, all employees of Nc
Mickle's, Inc, were Miss Rita Ste
phenson, 20, of 2172 North Talbot
street, from whom the SIT was
taken; Miss Mary Lou Graham, 2037
North Alabama street, and Miss
Dorothy Neiman, Is West Sixteenth
street.
Policeman Gives Chase
Miss Stephenson manages the Nc
Mickles shop at Thirtieth street and
Central avenue; Miss Graham, that
in the Kresge building, and Miss
Neiman, that in the Roosevelt build
ing. 1t was Miss Neiman who had
deposited more than 500.
The bandits just had fed in their
cab with the SIT loot when Police
Lieutenant Noel Jones and Sergeant
Melvin Wilkerson drove past the
corner of Washington and Penn
sylvania street, where the deposit
tory is located, in squad car.
The young women attracted their
attention, told the story of the
holdup briefly and the officers gave
chase to the cab, which escaped in
the Virginia avenue traffic. This
was shortly after $40.
A few minutes later police found
the cab at Fletcher avenue and
Shelby street, driving toward the
downtown district. Percy Shields,
81, of 433 North Waicott street, the
driver, was alone in the cab. He
told police he had been an unwill-
ing passenger, tapped and bound in
his own cab, during the holdup.
Taxi Driver Trussed Up
He said two of the three thugs
entered his cab at 8 at st. Clair
and Meridian streets when he an
swered a call to that intersection.
He drove them to Kenwood avenue
and Thirtieth street where they
produced their pistols and forced
him to drive into an alley, he
added.
There, he told police, they robbed
him of So, bound him with the tape
and forced him to lie on the floor
in the rear of the cab while one
Of the bandits, donning Mr.. Shields
drivers cap, drove the cab. They
rode around for some time, he said,
and picked up the third man at
some point he could not identify.
After the robbery, the bandits
had fled southeast on Virginia ave-
nue. only short way before two of
the three left the cab while the
third drove to the 1000 block,
Grove street, where he left after
telling Mr.. Shields to lie on the
floor until a car had driven away
from the scene, the driver said.
Mr.. Shield waited and then start
ed back to the downtown district
to report the crime, he told police.

tered in the American Kennel Club
than ever before, and the great dog
shows are being better attended and
and an increase in the number of
entries is being recorded.
This might seem to contradict my
first statement that the dog bust
ness has been on the down grade.
But nevertheless it is a fact. The
difference is that people are more
choosey about the dogs they do
keep.
Just take trip around and talk
with the dog owners and see what
they tell you. Of course there will
be exceptional breeders who will tell
you they have sold more dogs than
ever before. Leave the exceptions
out of the picture and consider the
great number of kennels.
For example, the hunting dog
kennels. They have reduced their
prices pitiably. They have reduced
the number of dogs they keep, and
have been very careful about buying
dogs ahead. In that way they re-
Semble the merchants OF the coun-
try.
Recently I talked to man who
is probably the largest shipper of
high class hounds in New England,
and he told me that this year he
has not sold more than one-third
the number of dogs that he has sold
other years, yet he has advertised
more. It's the same story every
where. That's a good sign.
We may see sudden demand and
I believe that it soon will be prof.
liable to raise puppies and that
they will sell better than ever be-
fore.
Back to nature. Tomorrow I an
going to tell you some of the things
I like and hope to see more general.

Huey Longs Rival Present

Across the field Mayor T. Semmes
Walmsley, who captained Tulane's
1911 gridiron team, and since has
become Longs most bitter political
enemy, will cheer on the Green
wave.
Beaten only by Colgate's tricky
"Red Raiders" this season, Tulane
has rolled up 1872 points against
fifty-Seven for nine opponents.
Louisiana State, unbeaten, but tied
BY two Southwest Conference lead
ers, Rice and Southern Methodist,
has allowed opponents only thirty
two points, while scoring 1873.
l.. S. u. boasts one Of the finest
passing attacks in the country
while Tulane's running game ranks
we'll under any comparison.
Betting odds, which at first ia
vored Louisiana State by as much
as to l, have been forced down
to 6 to and even by an influx of
Tulane money.
Stellar Men in Lineup
The line-ups scintillate with
stars. L. S. U. has Abe Mickal,
passer and punter extraordinary,
who coach "Biff" Jones has termed
a greater back than Red eagle"
Pitted against him will be Tu-
lanes Little Monk" Simons, 1875
pounds of dynamic humanity who
leads the Southeastern Conference
in scoring, and, with Mickal. was
picked on the "All-Southeastern"
football team.
These two stars will be supported
BY able casts. Tulane offers Homer
Robinson, all-America center can
didate. and a sixty-minute lineman,
against L. S. us Justin Rukas,
powerful bone-crushing tackle. Both
were named on the "an-SoutheaSt-
ern" football team.
The color anG drama expected to
be packed into the contest will at
tract the largest crowd in southern
football history. L. S. u. officials
early in the week announced 10000
ticket sales. Between $4,000 and
10000 we're expected to crowd into
the stands before game time.

Tie With Alabama for Loop

Chance at Stake.
BY GLENN ADCOX
United Press stan Correspondent

BATON ROUGE, La. DC. 1.-Two
powerful football teams. Louisiana
state and Tulane, met today in a
traditional game that has assumed
important aspects this year because
OF the many issues which hang upon
the final score.
Both teams are undefeated in the
Southeastern Conference along with
Alabama, and both are anxious TO
share in the title.
But more important TO both was
a possible invitation TO represent
the south in the first sugar bowl
classic against a northern team, at
New orleans New Years day. The
sugar bowl game represents New
orleans bid for the national football
spotlight.
The game also assumed i'm
portance for Huey P. Long, who
adopted Louisiana State over his
alma mater. Huey graduated from
Tulane's law school, but has al
ways been an ardent supporter and
benefactor Of L. S. u. He will be
found leading the L. s. U. cheering
section.

Municipal Art
CalleryConing
Says Mayor
But La Guardia Attacks
Artists Group Which
Forced Decision

Mayor LaGuardia indicated
Saturday that the city would turn
over building for artists to use as
a Municipal Art Center soon, thus
meeting 1ong-felt demand of art
lists in the city. I'VE will finish
the building" he told reporters at
a press conference. The building
referred to is believed to be at 81
West 53rd Street, which, it is I'M
derstood, is being remodeled for
gallery use with federal funds.
Coincident with the announce
ment that the building would soon
be ready for use, the Mayor
launched into an attack on the or
ganization which has taken the
lead in the fight for the art center,
the Artists Committee of Action.
ANY such Communist propaganda
will not deter us" he said, making
reference to letter the artists had
sent the day before. The letter,
signed by Hugo Gellert and Stuart
Davis, of the executive council of
the artists organization, charged
that La Guardia had "even failed to
acknowledge the joint resolution of
the Artists Committee of Action
and the Artists Union, which was
presented TO your secretary on Oct.
81, 1884"
Obviously trying to split the ranks
of the artists by setting their ranks
against their leadership, the Mayor
said:
ITS not doing the people who
are lending themselves TO this
any good"
An intimation that the city ad-
or its appointees would
decide who is an artist and who is
not was voiced by the Mayor.
Whether or not a man is an art
ist will be determined, LaGuardia
said.

Court Puts Off
Trial of Negro
In Frame-Up
Charge by Democratic
Politician Postponed
Until After Election

Trial Of John s. Grant, Queens
Negro worker framed up by Joseph
P. Dougherty, Democratic politi-
clan, was postponed Monday by
County Judge Thomas Dcwnes to
Nov. %. The Democratic politi-
clans considered the case too hot
for prediction trial.
Grant was arrested June 10 on
complaint of Joseph P. Dougherty,
former Chief Inspector of the
Transit Commission. He is charged
with grand larcency and faces a
10-year term. While driving
Dougherty's car with Dougherty's
consent, he had an accident.
Dougherty, in order to avoid any
possibility of damage suit, framed
him on charge of stealing the
car. The defense is being handled
by the Jamaica branch of the
League Of Struggle for Negro
Rights, which has retained Irving
Schwab to represent Grant.
The Grant case comes on a gen
eral wave of terror against the Ne
gro residents Of the County of
Queens. The Queens criminal
courts are unusually crowded with
Negro defendants who have been
unfortunately picked off the
streets and charged with serious
crimes.

out the effect of mass protest and
the need for greater consolidation
of their organization to carry the

quirements, of finger printing and
a $40 registration fee, now neces-
sary to obtain license. His sug-
gestions were enthusiastically re-
ceived.

Relief Drive
Opened to Aid
Nazis' Victims
Widows and Children of
Anti -Fascists Denied
Food and Fuel

An appeal for winter relief for
the countless number of anti-fascist
victims Of the Nazi terror in Ger
many, and for support of the he
roic united front struggles Of the
Saar toilers against domination by
Nazi Germany, was issued yester-
day by the National Committee to
Aid Victims of German Fascism
$40 Broaway, New York City, and
the World Aid Committee for Vic
Tins of Hitler Fascism, IS Boule-
ward Arago, Paris, 10, France.
The appeal lists many authenti-
Gated cases of the murder of anti
fascists by the Hitler sxe-men and
the persecution of surviving mem
bers of their families, and gives the
following picture of the vast prison
into which Germany has been con-
verted by the big industrialists and
their Nazi tools:
I There are still 100000 anti
fascists behind barbed wire in the
many concentration camps. There
are 10000 imprisoned behind the
cold walls of Germany's jails.
Nearly 100 have been condemned
to death and of this number so
were beheaded. About 5000 were
tortured to death: Muehsam, Scheer,
Steinfurth, Stelling, Fechenbach,
and others. Three thousand widows
and their children now stand alone
and over these the Nazi regime is
cracking the whip of hunger"
The appeal for aid for these be-
roaved families, denied employment
or relief by the Nazi regime and
characterized by Goering as a
breed to be weeded out" comes
also from the heroic anti-fascist
fighters murdered by the Nazi axe
men. my life could not have been
given to a purpose more useful. I
die as an uncompromising fighter
against fascism. All I ask is that
you shall help my wife and children
after I am gone" These words
were addressed to the World Aid
Committee by an anti-fasclst Just
before he was beheaded in Ham
burg.
The Committee urges all anti
Fascists, all decent men and wo-
men, to support the united front
fight of Socialists, Communists
and non-party workers in the
Saar for the status quo, against
inclusion of the Saar in Hitler
Germany. and to gather funds, food
and clothing for the victims Of
Nazi barbarism in Germany. Or
CARNATIONS and individuals are
urged to communicate with the
National Committee at 87o Broad
way, New York, for full informal
ton on the campaign, which will
be linked up with the fight for the
freedom of Ernst Thaelmann and
other anti-fascists.
