BANDT CETS 10 WTHBRASSKNUCKS Beats Robert P. White, Own- er of‘GIandore Inn, and Makes Escape. Robert P. White, owner of the Glan- dore Inn, Twelfth and M streets, was | struck over the head with a pair of brass knuckles and robbed of approxi- mately $1.000 in cash by a lone robber shortly after noon today. The man, well dressed and about 35 | years old, came to White's residence at | 1136 Twelfth street and said he wished | to_rent an apartment. White took the stranger to the apartment building nearby and into a vacant apartment. The two men had Do sooner entered the apartment when the robber struck White without warn- ing. the latter told police. Although the blow failed to knock the older man from his feet, he was in | a semi-conscious condition while the robber went through his pockets, taking a bill fold and a lesser amount of money in another pocket. | The robber then fled. Police were | told he was seen to run toward Massa- chusetts avenue by persons outside the apartment. When White regained his faculties he telephoned for police. White was believed not seriously in- Jured by the blow, which failed to break the skin. The landlord and his sister, Miss Mary Frances White, own the Glandore Inn and several smaller build- | ings in the block. Miss White said her brother had | been collecting rent for some time and | had intended to deposit the money in a | bank, but had delayed because he was | busy. She said the meney lost belonged %o herself as well as her brother. BANK WINS FIGHT IN TAX CHECK CASE Commercial National Held Not| Liable for $3,339 Allegedly Paid on Fraudulent Refund.

I always ate in swell places, but only the first three or four courses. I never ate dessert, not that I don't like a sweet now and then. But I paid —indignantly called over the waiter. in all the tony restaurants and ritzy hotel dining room:.. But then you always made a good liv- ing and I suppose you could afford it. But even so, I can't see hand- ing out a lot of jack for soft lights and head waiters.” “I didn’t hand out the jack” for my dinner with a little black insect with wings. Just as I dip- ped into the dessert I droppsd a little fly down the spoon, and in- dignantly called over the waiter to view the unappetizing sight. Of course, I never received a check, but lots of apologies.” These exposures of rackets are printed to advise and protect the public. (Copyright, 1933.)

Headed by Dr. Jerome Davis of Yale University and Francis A. Henson, economist of the National Religion and Labor Foundation, the group started its studies in New York’s Wall Street and is working westward, styling itself a “traveling economic seminar.” “The seminar so far probably feels that the revolution is one directed by the aristocrats, as typified by Roose- velt,” Henson said. *“We are more or less of the belief that America is at the beginning of a period of intense na- tionalism, with the Government acting as umpire between labor and capital.” WELFARE BURDEN CUT Recall of Workers to Industry in Western Pennsylvania Held Aid. PITTSBURGH, July 10 (#).—The re- call of workers by industry and agri- culture in the last 30 days helped re- duce the welfare burden of Western Pennsylvania counties by more than 14,000 families. An Associated Press survey last night discloses that more than 181,000 fami- lies, or approximately 760,000 persons, depending on these communities for support in June has been reduced to 167,000—a decline of 59,000 persons. Figured in dollars and cents, based per family in Somerset County and $19.50 in Allegheny, the reduction means a savings of $224,000 monthly to the counties and the State.

Two weeks later three men were rounded up by the county sheriff and his deputies. They were brought in front of the bank em- rployes, who definitely identified the tall, dark-skinned man as the leader. As for the other two . . . well, they weren’t positive, but they were almost sure. Being illiterate Mexicans, an interpreter | was necessary in their trial before Judge H. M. Winters.

ARCHEOLOGIST MISSING FROM HOME IN IRELAND A. Kingsley Porter, American, Has Not Been Seen Since Saturday ‘When He Was Sailing. By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, Irish Free State, July 10.— Arthur Kingsley Porter, noted Ameri- can archeologist, has been missing since Saturday morning from his bun- galow on Inishbofin Island, where he lived part of the Summer. Porter left the island in a small safl- ing boat and has not been seen since. The severest thunderstorm in years oc- curred in the district Saturday and it was feared his boat may have been struck by lightning or met with some other disaster. Porter, who recently returned from a Winter stay in the United States, bought Glenveagh Castle in County Donegal some years ago and built a gungalcw on Inishbofin for a Summer ome. A. Kingsley Porter, 50 years old, was born at Stamford, Conn. and his American home was at Cambridge, Mass. He traveled and studied widely in Europe and was a professor and lecturer at Harvard, Yale and European universities. Porter was married to the former Lucy Bryant Wallace of New York City in 1912.

MAIIR RENOVEE PAE T0BE BERUN Board of Trade Launches Campaign With Exposi- tion and Exhibit. After weeks of preparation, the Wash- ington Board of® Trade tonight will launch on the major phase of its Reno- vize Washington Campaign, with the opening of a comprehensive moderniz- ing exposition at 1435-37 K street at 7 o'clock, and the displaying at the same time of the renovized house at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue. The two central exhibitions in the trade organization’s home improvement movement are expected by business lead- ers to lend impetus to the campaign to stimulate modernization work, and thus relieve unemployment and aid business generally. ‘The Board of Trade has extended in- | vitations to leading labor groups, trade | bodies and civic organizations to visit | the dual demonstration tonight. The | exhibition hall on K street has been | attractively decorated for the occasion, | with the many display booths construct- ed of durable building materials, carry- ing out the theme of the exposition. With the District Bankers' Associa- tion reiterating that its $500,000 loan pool is” still available to home owners for the asking, leaders in the modern- izing drive are confident that decided activity in renovizing work will be evi- denced during the next few weeks. They point out also that although build- | ing material costs are on the upgrade, they still are at a comparatively low level, Bank Funds Available. The fund for property improvement was created by the Bankers' Association before the banking moratorium, and al- though all District banks are not yet open, those which are functioning are prepared to loan money upen adequate indorsement. ‘The compreshensive array of building equipment and modern home appliances which are going on display tonight at the K street exhibition hall, it is ex- pected, will lend added stimulus to the A.
