BanditHoltlsUp Loan Firm; Gets Cash in Drawer Lone Gunman Escapes in Subway Crowd on Flatbush Extension Wfille hundreds of people were filing past the door on their way to work, a lone bandit held up five employesxof the Prudential Finance Corporation, located on the third floor of the Fulton-Flatbush Building, 427 Flatbush Ave. Extension, off Fulton and succeeded In getting away with (30.75, at 9 o'clock this morning.

The bandit, described as being about 25 years old, wearing a dark suit, and having black curly hair, walked Into the finance company offices shortly before 9 and asked for an application for a personal loan. Miss Amelia Kurnyk, a clerk, gave him the application and he sat down and proceeded to fill out the form. Produce! Gun When he had spent a few moments with the application, he got up and walked into one of the several partitioned offices used by the interviewers. After a few minutes conversation with Robert Feist, one of the interviewers, the bandit drew a revolver and ordered Feist to step out of the small office into the general office. The bandit then called to Miss Kurnyk, another clerk, Miss Carol Ahren3, and to another male employe who refused to give his name.

He ordered the quartet against the wall and with the gun In one hand he attempted to open the cash drawer with the other. Finding it locked, he asked for the key, which was thrown to him by one of the four. While the bandit was pocketing the $30.75 in the drawer, M. F. Reed, manager, walked into the office and was forced to Join the others against the wall.

Warns Against Outcry Then, with the usual warning against outcry, the bandit backed out of the office, turned and ran two flights to the street. Directly opposite the building a mounted policeman was directing traffic. Worried over the possibility that the policeman might have seen him, police believe, the bandit left his revolver and cap against the side of the building and quickly mingled with the Fulton St. crowds. A few minutes later the victims managed to open a window and shout for help.

A number of traffic policemen and patrolmen on duty in the vicinity ran into the building. Meanwhile, the bandit found no trouble In losing himself in the crowds In the section. The holdup took place in one of the busiest sections of the borough. In front of the building hundreds of automobiles were making their way to the Manhattan Bridge bound for their businesses in Manhattan. Diagonally opposite the building still more people were leaving the B.

It Is charged in the suit that the Tarker boy shot the Stiner boy in the eye with an air gun destroying the sight of ttie eye. Thp boys had boen playmates and neighbors for some time when the accident occurred. John parents are named iw defendants on the theory they should not have given the boy such a dangerous toy.

Although he lost a pint of blond, he recovered quickly in Nassau County Hospital at Mineola and was returned to New York City. Just as on the occasion of his first disappearance, his doctors feared he might be intending to commit suicide.

Watch on L. I. Mineola, July 17 Although the Nassau County police have received no official request to search for Harriman they checked with the managers of the Old Orchard Inn at Roslyn and the State Coach Inn at Locust Valley, nt both of which Harriman was a guest when he left New York secretly about a month ago. The managers of both places informed tlie police they had neither seen nor heard anything of Harriman. DRUGGISTS FORM UNION Philadelphia, July 17 (T) Prescription druggists belong to a union now.

Quiz on Charges Argued Over Dying Boy London, July 17 OP) The leaders of the World Economic Conference have decided after long and solemn consideration that too many cooks spoil the broth. Unless they change this view the conference, which will take a recess July 27, will not be re convened in its entirety. The belief that the parley should not be revived after the recess was voiced at this morning's meeting of the Steering Committee, It was understood.

There Is a growing feeling, In which at least some of the American delegation concur, that the conference as now instituted Is so unwieldy it bloeks its own progress. If and when it is brought into being again in Washington, London, Geneva or elsewhere its numbers will be whittled down so that It will not take a census expert to lem trnrk of the sub-committees of committees appointed by the sub- commissions or ine commissions. Washington Susgetrd The suggestion was heard that if It is called together again, Washington would be the logical place for it. desnite the fact that the United States Is not a member of the League of Nations under whose auspices the original agenda of the conference was drawn. Washington, it was pointed out in some quarters, obviously held the Itpv tn inference activity, and if held there, one delegate commented.

the American delegation "could keep In closer touch with the President's wishes." Whether Prime Minister Mac-Donald of Great Britain would continue as chairman if the conference rpsnmed in Washington was a matter of doubt. It wns recalled that he accepted the chairmanship only on condition that the sessions be held in London. The conference today had the appearance of a man who had had a heavw weekend and was still uncer tain of his feet. The two commit tees scheduled to meet had to be postponed because some of the members still were enjoying their rest In the country or at the seaside. It was understood that the American had completed a tentative resolution calling upon other nations to use available means which would allow raising of prices to r.

degree sufficient to restore the economic balance. Tha understanding was that the text of the resolution had been cabled to Washington for concurrence, with the hope that the introduction might be made some time this week. British Policy Unchanged The refusal of Great Britain, as announced last week by Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Trade, to participate In public works plans proposed for the parley, was declared by Prime Minister MacDonald today in the House of Commons not to signify any change in British policy as hitherto enunciated. Sir Herbert Samuel, Liberal leader, drew out this statement by asking if Mr. Runciman's utterances superseded the statement the Premier had made at Washington in conjunction with President Roosevelt.
