The factory watchman swung his mop stick at the two in- truders and fought until they felled him with an iron bar. He was bound by his captors who sprinkled gasoline about him and made threats they would set him afire if he did not give them the keys to the room where valuable ingots of metal were stored. When the watchmen defied the robbers, they took the keys from his pocket. Koenig’s shouts meanwhile aroused neighbors, who called the police and they arrived be- fore the two men escaped.

MONEY CRISIS SENDS CURIOS ISTANBUL, Sept. 20. — The ill wind of Turkey's economic crisis is blowing good to tourists and bazaar merchants. The famous covered bazaar with its 3,000 little shops was practically depleted of the “finds” dear to tour- ists, till this year's crisis jforced many of the best families to sell their treasures. With the recent influx of old copper, silver, embroideries and jewels, trade 1s quickening in the booths of the labyrinth. ~So keen and even sanguinary is competition TO BAZAARS that one Jewish rug merchant pays three husky Kurds to guard his per- son from jealous competitors. The romance that algays lurks in the Istanbul - bazaars recently made & dramatic appearance in two, Russian wardrobes. They were sold for $10 apiece in the “Flea Bazaar,” the section devoted to second-hand furniture. Unable to resell them, the merchant decided to make the metal bars within the wardrobe into hat-racks. While attempting to work the metal, he discovered that the bars were of platinum, and made $5,000. |Manchuria south to the Yellow 'River. ——err———— TODAY'S STOCK QUOTATIONS 4 ) ‘ NEW YORK CITY, N.
