WOMAN PREVENTS BROOKLYN HOLD-UP Calls Police When Bandits Force Husband Into Car After Mysterious Message. 3 By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 24.—A wom- ‘an’s alertness foiled a $4,500 hold-up +in Brooklyn this morning, resulting in Zthe death of one bandit and the rout- ing of his four companions. A police- man was wounded. Harry Milisteln, assistant treasurer L of the Fox Congress Theater, was hand- | ed a message at his home by a stranger. {1t was signed by his employer and di- frected him to meet the latter at a Trestaurant in 10 minutes. Immediately ;suspicious, he told his wife to notify police if he did Tiot return in a rea- sonable time. Peering out the window, Mrs. Mill- stein saw a second man join the first and a gun placed to her husband's head as they drove away. She ran down the street and notified four patrolmen. They hurried to the theater and arrived there simultaneously with the hold-up men and their prisoner. A pitched battle ensued in the foyer, the bandits being reinforced by three others. Morris Jacobs, 23, ‘was shot and killed. Patrolman Edward Muller received two wounds and was removed #in a critical condition. The gang fled, ‘one of them apparently badly hurt. Inside the theater, Sidney P. Levine, the manager, was found bound and ed. The bandits demanded the zombination to the safe, he said, and he wrote the note to appease them The safe held receipts for the week end.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 24— When a ship thrusts its funnel over the horizon 32 miles off the Golden Gate Julius Larsen can look through his 12-foot glass and tell the name of the far-distant_vessel. From dawn until the flery sun sinks in the blue Pacific Larsen scans the wide stretch of water through his glass for vessels arriving from all ports of the_world. Through the years Larsen has come | to know most of the ships which ply the seven seas. Funnels Reveal Names. “Let me see the stack and I can tell the ship from as far as 32 miles at sea on a clear day,” said Larsen, gazing seaward from his tiny octagon- shaped home and lookout perched atop Point Lobos, near the entrance to the Golden Gate. Markings on the fun- nels reveal the ship's names to Larsen. Approach of vessels is telephoned immediately to the marine depart- ment of the Chamber of Commerce for information cf shipping circles. Wanderlust of the sea led Larsen from his biri.aolace in Norway to his strange little home overlooking miles of scenic shore line, where giant comb- ers crash continuously against the white sands. Born in 1880, Larsen went to sea when he was 15 years old, arriving at Savannah, Ga. From there the ocean called him to Pacific ports and to the rigors of life on Alaska ships. Seeks Shore Duty. Larsen married and later sought shore duty to raise his family of three | young daughters, Gertrude, Annie and Helen Larsen, and a son. Hilfred, who made his dad proud with two grand- sons. When he began scanning the sea for incoming ships Larsen had his lookout only a few feet above the water line, in a shack about 6 feet square. One night, | while he was at his home nearby, Van- dals poured a dozen rounds of shot through the lookout, wrecking the place and shooting the tripod under Larsen's glass. Larsen never has forgotten the | incident. “Had T been in the lockout I would have been killed,” he said. | After the shooting Larsen's lookout was moved to the peak of Point Lobos, a short distance up the shore line from the famous Seal Rocks at the beach, and about 200 feet above sea level. Eight-sided House. A small house was built, with eight sides, containing Larsen's lookout tower | at the ton. Here are his glasses, one| constructed in 1869, now seldom used | unless Larsen has visitors. The glass,| painted green, is & 14-foot instrument ' @he Foering Htar B ot available issue.

Larsen’s modern glass is about 12 feet, long, and focused on a ship many miles at sea makes the vessel leap into the lens, showing the sailors at toil on the decks, and the Toll of the ship as giant swells seize the incoming voyager. In the strange little house, whose happy occupants gaze daily _upon scenery which tourists come many miles to see, a canary bird hops about gaily in a cage and a radio brings in dance music. A winding road leads to the isolated octagon house, but the stork didn't have any trouble locating the tiny dwelling three years ago when Julius Larsen, Jr., arrived.
