ed as a 1884 model Terraplane
sedan, with a trunk on the rear.

man about S5 years old. believed
to be Olson's accomplice.
Olson said he was "hitch-hiking"
to the coast from Montana, and
denied he had aid Two men were
seen getting out of car parked
some distance from the bank in
Orting, shortly before the attempt
ed holdup.
Banker Is Pleased
One of them raised a bottle and
took several drinks. Olson was
partly intoxicated when he entered
the bank. officers said.
Archie F. Stone, vice president
Of the bank. gave credit to Miss
Olsen for her heroism and level
Medicines.
He also pointed out the bank
was built with just such an at
tempt in mind. Olson's blows with
his gun on the bullet-proof window,
one and nine-sixteenths inches
thick, left only three small marks.
Switches Were at Hand
Two switches, exactly like cleo
trio light switches, were in the
inner side of the back wall Of the
narrow lobby.
BY throwing both, Miss Olson
locked the front door and also the
only door leading into the tellers'
cages from the lobby.

II the bandit had fired through
the narrow space under the win

eheted TO the ceiling over Miss
Olsen's head.
Robbers have tried twice in the
east TO hold up banks constructed
like this one Stone said, and
failed both times"
He said the bank was built at
the cost of $500, employing
every modern development to
make it robbery-proof.

Orting officers in a search for the

Officers said he apparently be-

by making the getaway alone.

gun, made no further attempt to
get away.
Leslie Stone. 35-year-old cashier,
was on the street corner outside
talking to an acquaintance when
the robber walked in, and was the
first to come to Miss olsen's aid.
Woman Suspicious
Mrs. Dwight Goodrow, one of
our customers, was talking to me
outside" Stone said. "She was
telling me she had seen a couple
of suspicious-looking men get out
of a car near her home.
Just then a couple of fellows
from the store next door walked
over and wanted to know abou,
the robbery.
Il thought 'Golly. I wonder II
something is going on now
AoChs Dhnuft Up
Il turned around and tried the
front door. II was locked. I used
my key. and this fellow was stand
ing there, locked in the lobby"
Stone, veteran of two former
holdups in the same bank,
"frisked" Olson while the gun
toting bookkeeper kept her gun
leveled at him.
The cashier ordered the bandit
into a small safety-deposit closet
opening off the lobby. and locked
him in.
Put In City Jail
w. A. Frasl. Orting constable,
and Charles Fletcher, city marshal
OF Orting. arrived a few moments
later and transferred Olson to the
city Jail, where he was held until
Knowles and his entire squad OF
deputies arrived.
Olson was brought TO Tacoma
by deputies. His gun, a .32-calibre
model, was the same calibre used
in the robbery-murder Of two Puy.
allup officers five years ago.
Gun Examined
Officers said however il was OF
an American make. and that the
rifling of bullets that killed the
two showed the death weapon was
Of foreign make.
Bandit Olson made few com
ments TO deputy sheriffs who
brought him to Tacoma other than
to insist with a grin It was the
first time he'd been in trouble. He
did compliment his young captor.
Elf I'd had that girl with
her GOODNESS on the same side
with me-" he told Deputies
Mcdonald and kupl<a, ''we'd
have had a Million"
He also was quoted as saying
when picked up. the federals viii
try me for this" indicating a
knowledge Of recent treatment of
bank robberies where federal de-
posits are involved.

by The Tacoma Times, S. s.
Waterman. chairman of the Pa
cific Northwest Shippers Emer-
gency committee. and Kenneth X.
Kennel, secretary, local shipping
leaders representing the maritime
industry of Washington and Ore

optimism with regard to the do
mestic space situation.
The amendment, which broadens
the maritime commissions powers,
now awaits only the presidents

tai sources indicate there will be
no opposition there to hinder the
measures immediate effectiveness.
we are delighted with de-
velopments so far" declared
Waterman and Kennel. '1t
Ia imperative, however. the
commission put the act into
operation Immediately to be
properly helpful.
1t was pointed out that most of
the commissions vessels, which
were previously available for i'm
mediate service, have been recent
ly chartered or sold. Virtually all
of the remaining ships will need
from 80 to 90 days for extensive
repairs before they can be used.
Shortage of sufficient ships for
Northwest cargoes arose from
continued sale of American bot
toms to foreign nations since out
break of war abroad.
Lack of ships has been sorely
felt in all industries, it was dis
closed when harassed shippers met
at Tacoma and formed the emer-
gency committee several weeks
ago.
About 4 1000 workers of the lum-
Der industry are faced with I'M
employment unless ships are pro-
vided; the nation depends upon
the Northwest for SO per cent of
its lumber, virtually all of which
is moved by water.
On like scale, the Northwest
supplies the entire United States
