Thrilling Holdup Experience by Residents Bandit Blocks Road Near' Port Chester, N. Y., Buti Raschkows and Sternj Escape After Dash. | Their path blocked by an automo- bile highwayman in the dead of night, a party of New Britain peo- | ple had an experience yesterday morning on the Greenwich-Stamford | voad more thrilling than any they had ever experienced, and more dangerous than they were able to realize at the time. Louls Raschkow, his mother, Mrs. Tillie Raschkow, and his sisters, Eva and Sylvia, all of 44 Camp street, and Nat Stern, manager of the John Irving Shoe store, were returning to New Britain from Port Chester, N. Y., about 3:15 o'clock when they encountered the bandit. Louis Raschkow was driving up the | srade a short distance from Stam- ford when the bandit appeared suddenly out of the darkness and forced the local man to stop by sfecring in front of his car diagonal- ly across the highway. s “Put It in reverse, Louis” Miss Eva Rasckow shouted to her brother as the bandit, a white mask across | his face, revolver in one hand and blackjack under his other arm, stepped from his car and advanced threateningly towards the 1 cal party. Louis obeyed and backed his car down hill. The bandit ran | back to his car, turned it around and drove down the hill, forcing | Raschkow again to the side of the road. Eva Raschkow kept her hand on the horn hoping to attract atten- | tion or frighten the bandit av but he maneuvered his car to matc every move of the local driver. As the cars were again spanning the roadway and the bandit was | preparfng to leave his car, the local | party sighted a truck a short dis- tance up the road. It was obvious that unless the truck sfopped, either or both of the other cars would be struck. As the bandit drove his car out of the path of the truck, Rasch- kow, thinking quickly, shot ahead | and with a fairly good start, hoped to win the dash to Stamford. | The bandit, however, was not to | be outdone and was quick to give pursuit. As he was gaining on the local car, three policemen were sight- ed on the road, two of them being in a car walting for their brother officer to put in a duty call. Stop- | ping near them, the local people told | of their experience and as the po- licemen were about to accompany | them back towards the scene of the attempted holdups, the bandit's car sped by, The police gave chase, but thelr car was unable to keep pace and they lost their quarry. The ban- dit shut off the lights on his car as Tha approached the policemen and reported to have driven through Stamford without turning them .on. Everyone in the local party w: wearing valuable winter coats and Mrs. Raschkow and Eva were wearing jewelry. Sylvia, aged 10, was quite disturbed at the exper- ience and remarked after it was over that the bandits could have had her 35 cents for the asking. Mrs. Rasch- kow suffered considerably from the| fright of the incident. Stern was asleep in the rear seat of the car when the bandit made his first attempt at the holdup. As the car started to back down the hill in reverse gear, the jar awakened him. | “What are yvou going back for, Louis?” he asked. Then he saw th bandit, gun in hand, and the ser- ionsness of the situation dawned on | him.

Macy and OIL SHARES SHOW { GREATER STRENGTH Trading Today Is on Broader Scale New York, Feb. 1 (P—Revival of activity and strength in the oil shares, and a resumption of bullish operations in the so-called “merger rails” divided chief speculative in- terest In today's rising stock market. Trading was on a slightly broader and larger scale, indicating a re- awakening of public interest. With a huge investment demand apparently still unsatisfled, as indi- cated by the heavy over-subscription of recent bond offerings, pools were encouraged to resume operations in | stocks which have promising divi- | dend possibilities. Large bear trad- | ers appareaitly had temporarily with. drawn from the market, or confined | their activities to the covering of stocks in which the bear position was belleved to be unwieldly. Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred | was the sensational indlvidual per- | former, soaring nearly 11 points to 74%, a new high record price since | the reorganization of the road in! 1916, and nearly 30 points above the low level of last month. The com- | mon hovered around 64. Western | Maryland common and second pre- ferred, jumped about 5 points each to new peak prices. Other rails also displayed 2 strong undertone despite predictions that the combined net | operating income of class 1 carriers will be more than 10 per cent below the same month of 1925, and nearly 30 per cent below November. ‘Wall street opening. Stock prices displayed a firm un- dertone at the opening of today's market. The decrease of over $3S,- 000,000 in brokers' loans last week, bringing the total down over $86,- 000,000 below the peak of the month, coincident with an increase in com- mercial loans. had a bullish effect on sentiment. General Motors and U. S. Cast Iron Pipe each showed gains of 1 1-4 points. The upward movement became more pronounced as trading pro- | gressed, with pools again resuming | operations in a number of specialties. | Motors, oils, rubbers and ‘“merger rails” gave the best exhibitions of | group strength in the early trading, | but there were several laggards in | cach group. The optimistic tenor of the monthly bank reviews and the continued easy money rates had a | bullish effect on speculative sentf- | ments. Canadian Pacific, Houston National Supply sold at their highest | prices in years. Large buying orders “ were exccuted in Atlantic, Gulf & | West Indies, Nash Motors, Western Maryland common and the Wheel- | ing & Lake Frie issucs. Pullman | quickly sold off three points on the | traditional “sclling on the good news” following the announcement of a proposed recapitalization plan. | | Southern Dairles A was one of the fev weak spots. Resumption of the | advance in Spanish pesetas, which | touched another new high since 1920 | at 16.70 cents featured the steady | foreign exchange market.
