BANDIT ABDUCTS PAIR FOR HOLD-UPS Man and Woman Forced to Drive Ganman as He Robs Four. By the Associated Press. » BALTIMORE, September 19.—A motorist and his woman companion described to police today how a hold- up man kidnaped them at pistol-point and forced them to drive him around while he staged four armed robberies. ‘The two, Martin Spellissy of Balti- more and Mrs. Treve Bollinger of Hanover, Pa., proprietors of adjoining stalls .in a market here, said they chauffeured the bandit for four hours between midnight and dawn today. After closing their stalls, they had gone for a ride. Spellissy stopped his machine to investigate a sound at the rear of it, and a young white man ap- peared, brandishing a pistol. Spellissy quoted the stranger as saying: “I hate to do this, but I've got to. My wife is going to have a baby and I've got to have some money.” Spellissy gave him $1.50, managng to secrete $200 behind the front seat of the car, police were told. Mrs. Bol- linger surrendered a wrist watch and s diamond ring, but also managed to hide her pocketbook containing a large sum. The three, with the hold-up man in the back seat of the car, drove on, stopping at one point to force an elderly man, waiting on a corner for @ street car, into the machine. The bandit took the aged man’s money, ordered the machine stopped near a car barn, and forced his vic- tim out, handing him a “dime for car fare,” Spellissy said. Edward Houck, seated alone in a parked machine on Ellicott drive, was the next victim. Spellissy was forced to drive alongside his machine, where Houck informed the bandit he was out of work and had nothing but cigarettes to give him. “All right, hand them over,” Spel- lissy quoted the hold-up man as say- ing He said two more men, waiting for street cars, were picked up and robbed, then forced from the machine before the bandit left the automobile with 8 warning to Spellissy and Mrs. Bol- linger not to tell the police or “I'll come back and get you.” Fiscal Relations (Continued From First Page.) of the Federal Government, on a cal- culation of what would be its real estate taxes, at $6,877,550. In addition, the bureau found the Federal Govern- ment’s obligation on the basis of tangi- ble personal property would be $1,536,- 315 and that the obligation on the ac- count of intangible personal property would be $451,857. All three of these items today would be greater since Federal holdings have been expanded considefably since 1930. The Bureau of Efficiency study re- ported the then assessed value of Fed- eral-owned real property at $404,561,- 886. The latest assessment figures then would show an increase in holdings of real property amounting to $252,519,- 619, or about 62 per cent. Other Considerations. Calculations by the bureau of the 1930 obligation of the United States on the accounts of real property, tan- gible and intangible properties brought the figure to $8,865,722. The bureau found there were still other considera- tions. ‘The loss of revenue caused by the fact that Washington is the National Capital was placed at $773,581 and the further Federal obligation created by extraordinary expenditures also caused by the fact that this is the National Capital was placed at $544,088, bring- ing the total to $10,183,391. ‘These factors in the picture of what should be the Federal payment are ex- ected to be considered, among others, Jacobs and the Advisory Com- mittee. Allen’s report, which will be com- pleted early this week, also will con- tain other pertinent data for the use of Jacobs and his advisory committee. In the breakdown of thg total esti- mated value of Federal real property holdings, for instance, it will show the valuation placed on various Govern- ment buildings, such as the Capitol and White House, and the value of parks areas, which, in 1928, were listed at 1,118,093,162.

The Fire Department will show the estimated cost of fire protection for the Federal buildings. The Water De- partment will compare the cost of the free water delivered to Federal build- gs with the investment the District has made in the water system and the United States in the supply system. ‘The Highway Department expects to give Jacobs a vivid picture of the cost of paving and maintining streets that abut Federal property, and at the same time disclose the amount of revenue lost by the District because the United States is not required to pay the 2- cent a gallon tax on gasoline used by its vehicles in official business. One of the most important reports will be that submitted by Dr. Frank ‘W. Ballou, superintendent of schools. It will reveal the cost to the District of educating children of Army and Navy officers and Government execu- tives, as well as children of Govern- ment employes living in nearby Mary- land and Virginia, who are exempt from the payment of tuition. Jacobs asked for all this data at a recent conference with District de- partment heads, indicating that he and his advisory committee are going to consider every item of expense borne by the District which the Fed- eral Government is escaping directly because of its steadily decreasing con- tribution. . Within a month Jacobs hopes to have assembled all the data he and his advisory committee propose to collect from Federal and District depart< ments. Then he will invite repre- sentatives of civic and business or- ganizations interested in the solution of the fiscal relations problem to sub- mit any information they may have which will be of value in determining the Federal Government's equitable share of District expenses.

U.S. Artist, Who Fled Spain, Arrives Here to File Claim|™ Fscaping from both the government and rebel forces in Spain, Edwin Bertuch, American artist who has spent the last eight years pajpting in Eu- rope, was in Washington yesterday to file a $1,200 claim against the Spapish government. Not all of Bertush's experiences with the opposing forces were un- pleasant, but he was in the harbor at Palma, Majorcs, during a bombing by government planes, when one bomb, at least, landed only about 50 yards from his 36-foot Diesel powered yacht, and rebel machine gun bullets fired at the plane chipped paint off the deck and sides. v Bertuch was not sure, he said as he filled out the blank form supplied by the State Department for making claims against foreign governments, whether any more bombs were drop- ped near his yacht. He and his wife went below immediately after the first one was dropped, he said. That was July 27. A few days later Mrs. Bertuch went to France with a group of refugees, but he intended to stay. He changed his mind, however, when he was ad- vised by the American consul that he was in the bad graces of the rebel youth organization at Palma because he had been seen taking photographs in the city and was suspected of photographing rebel fortifications, presumably for the government forces. He decided he had better get back to France and left next morning. Put- ting in that night at Alcudia, on the northern end of the island, his beat narrowly escaped being fired upon by the rebel forces, who believed it was a government vessel sent to zhell the \ v"‘“.‘a'- ‘:.:‘ L m,.tr\m;' a ::‘:‘t\{‘“ o S jec® “ayy two RO A e town. Leaving next morning, the boat made good time until only a few miles from the southern coast of France, when bad weather finally forced him to put in at Blanes, Catalonia, near the Spanish-French border. There he fell into the hands of the government forces. During the storm the steering ap- paratus of his yacht was disabled and, in order to make Alcudia, he was forced to cut adrift the motor launch he used as a tender. Next morning the government officials refused him permission to search for it, Bertuch said, and told him they would charge him 25 per cent of its value for sal- vage if it should be found later. He refused to accept the offer, stating he would put in a claim against the gov- ernment for the full amount, $1,000. The other $200 he is claiming repre- sents the value of clothing lost in transit from Barcelona to Blanes. Most of the clothing, sent from Barce- lona while he was waiting at Blanes, arrived safely, Bertuch said. Bertuch met his wife in Sete, on the south coast of France, and returned to the United States by way of Paris and New York. NEELY DIVORCE ASKED John C. Neely, 22-year-old son of Senator and Mrs. Matthew M. Neely of West Virginia, filed suit yesterday in Reno, Nev, to divorce his wife, Kathryn Faust Neely of Fairmont, W. Va,, charging cruelty. Their marriage took place in Cum- berland, Md, August 31, 1931, They have a 4-year-old daughter Neely. ents l‘g{‘; AR BUDAPEST STIRRED BY NEURATH VISIT German Foreign Minister Believed on Important Political Mission. By Cable to The Star. i BUDAPEST, September 19.—Great political importance is attached to the sudden visit in this city of Baron Kon- stantin van Neurath, s German for- eign minister, which is officially ex- plained as not & political but a family matter. The baron and baroness ar- rived here at noon today in a plane of the German Lufthansa. Budapest papers say that the Reich foreign affairs chief and his wife are paying s visit to Georg van Macken: sen, German Minister here, and his wife, who is Von Neurath's daughter. However, the baron is accompanied by his private secretary, whose presence could not be explained if family mat- |- ters were the only reason for the visit, Moreover, at the flying fleld the Von Neurath party was received by a state secretary and the chief of protocol of the Hungarian foreign office. In political circles it s belleved that Von Neurath has the mission of dis- cussing the possibilities of closer co- operation with the powers of the Rome combination — Austria Hungary and and Italy. It is not denled that he will see Foreign Minister Koloman de Kanya and other prominent Hungarian politicians. Since Galeazzo Ciano, Italian for- minister and son-in-law of Premier Benito Mussolini, is expected in Budapest soon and since Kanya also plans a trip to Rome, the moment seems apt for parleys that have in view the tightening of the bonds among the partners of the Roman protocol. Moreover, the foreign min- isters of Italy, Hungary and Austria will meet in Vienna early in October or before, and it has been announced that the possibilities for extension of the Roman alliance to other states willing to join it will be considered on this occasion.

FRENCH STRIKERS BAR SETTLEMENT Refuse to Leave Textile Mill During Course of Nego- tiations. By the Associated Press. PARIS, Beptember 19.—Settlement of a strike paralyzing the French textile center in the Vosges -Moun- tains was held up tonight by the refusal of workers to leave the mills pending negotiations, ‘The Blum government sent Marc Rucart, minister of justice, to Epinal to arbitrate the 30,000 textile work- ers’ demands for wage increases and collective bargaining agreements. Owners said most of the mills were still occupied despite previous sgree- ments to evacuate, 1,600 March on City Hall. As labor difficulties gripped several cities in widely separated sections of France, 1,600 unemployed marched on the city hall at Boulogne-Sur-Mer protesting failure of the government to carry out promised increases in relief payments, _Four hundred entered the City Hall {tself, but the government's new labor difficulties were brought home to the capital itself by a strike of dairy work- ers in the nearby Marne department. A scuffle among workers occupying the plants resulted in one receiving s frace tured skull from & fall.

Gendarmes, however, prevented them from forcing workers to leave their jobs at the military airfield. Government officials attempted to persuade the stay-in strikers to leave the shipyards at Toulon, France's chief Mediterranean naval base. Although s strike of metallurgical workers at Marsellle was settled by the signing of a collective bargaining agreement, other plants in the Rouen area near Le Havre remained idle, Employers refused to authorize cole lective bargaining until strikers evac- uated the blast furnaces st Grand Quevilly, which have been occupied since last July. s SeELER Russis has made whipping of chil- dren s punishable offense.
