WARN HIM “TO BE NICE.” Many Detectives and Police Just Outside, but They Get Away Unnoticed. The chronicle of robberies com. mitted in the city to-day began with the invasion of the jewelry store of Abraham Michelson, No. 171 West Forty-seventh Street by two brazen- ly cool and personable gunmen. The two found the proprietor tov nervous to collect his stock and cash for them, undertook the work them- selves and in four minutes stripped the safe and show cases of $450 in money and $9,000 worth of jewelry in full sight of hundreds of passers- by swirling around the busy corner from Broadway out of the Broad- way crowds in which were many regular and volunteer detectives ana policemen. They escaped without a trace except Mr. Michelson’s descrip- out. Mr. Michelson had a police whistle in his trousers pocket. By violent gyrations and tugging he got two fingers of one hand into the pocket, drew out the whistié and by more acrobatic work, dropped it blow- ing-end up Into his vest pocket. Lean« ing over the water faucet he scraped the gag away from his mouth, He worked his waistcoat up his ¢hest until he could close his teeth on the end of the whistle. And then he blew. The transom was open, though the door was closed, All Times Square heard him’ blow. In a moment three or’ four policemen and a swiftly increasing crowd was at the door and he was set free. ‘There was a grect scurrying around of detectives, special automobile pas trols and amateur detectives for the next two hours. The reserves had to be called from the West 47th Street Station to keep traffic open, and re- mained on duty until the last of ty theatre multitude had been pers: to go on its way. —>— ROOKIE SEIZES TWO IN TAXI RACE AFTER CAFE IS HELD UP Complimented by His Captain (ay Good Work—Chase Lasted ° Half a Mile.

In February the roads in the East- ern District earned considerably in excess of the 6 per cent. return, the average being 7.17 per cent. The net operating income in this district was $29,535,800 as compared with a deficit of $7,627,692 in February, 1921. The lines in the South earned 8.98 per cent, In the Western District, where the agricultural depression has been acute, the rate of return was only 2.46 per cent, The report reveals the roads are beginning to effect economies which are aiding them in recovering from the disarrangement during the war. While operating revenues were vir- tually the same as for February, 1921, operating expenses were reduced 16.6 per cent.

The Loring is one of the oldest apartment buildings in New York and is filled with fine woodwork. It runs from Broadway to Amsterdam Ave- nue and almost to 73d Street. The fire to-day was discovered by the tele- phone operator, who notified the ten- ants, about fifty of whom went down the fire-escapes. There are no ele- vators in the building.
