Yesterday's police calendar recorded {an attempt to hold up and rob thep master at the Chapman Coal Co. late in the afternoon; a successful hoid-up and robbery of the store of Protas, 1104 Fourteenth street “inside” Jjob at the New Wi Hotel which netted a thief about $1,800 in cash and jewelry, and a safe-cracking robbery at the plumbing supply shop of Patrick J. O'Hanlon, 4100 Georgla avenue, ! early yesterday morning, which result ed in theft of $429 in cash and $230 in checks. i | Hold-up Attempted. | The attempt to rob the coal com- was made by a bandit late yes- afternoon, who entered the of the concern at 37 N street paymaster, to {hold up his hands. He displayed a pistol and ordered Burgess to summon into the office the colored man outside the door who was cranking a truck. Burgess went to the door, ostensibly the man in, but ran away yeli- 1g “Police!” at the top of his voice. he bandit fired one shot and ran {away. The shot missed Burgess. About 7 o'clock last night a man entered the store of Protas while the proprietor and his son were busy at- tending the wants of half a dozen customers. He bought a handker- [ chief and as the store gradually cleared of customers, flashed a pistol and held up Protas and his son while he went through the cash register. He got about $125 and fled. Police think he may have been the same man who attempted the Chapman robbery. The Willard Hotel robberies, accred- ited by the police to an entirely differ- ent individual, remained with but a scant clue for the police last night. Here a sneak thief, working skillfully, entered rooms through doors adjoin- ing his own and obtained a total of more than $1,800. Clyde A. Dewitt of New York suf- fered a loss of approximately $1,400 in cash and jewelry, while Oscar Setro, nother guest, reported the loss of omewhat less than $400 in cash and jewelry.
