His first robbery occurred at. 8:45 when he entered the American Store at Fourth and Grant streets and took in cash after holding up the manager and a clerk at the point of a revolver. One hour later John Krapf. a wholesale produce merchant of 522 Lincoln street, was held up and robbed at the point of a revolver of S120 as he was putting his automobile in the garage in the rear of his home.

The police declared today that both holdups were staged by the one man. Krapf said he first saw the gunman across the street from the A. p. Store at 521 Lincoln street an he was apparently planning to stage the holdup at the store. Krapf told the police he called to the man and asked him what he was doing there.

Then the man disappeared he stated. Krapf who had just left his wife out of the machine before going to the garage, entered his car and was about to drive away when the gunman appeared again and opened the door of the auto and pressed the revolver against Krapf's stomach, commanding him to keep quiet. Krapf at first was unable to get the door on his side of the auto open but later succeeded and managed to get out and ran through an alley at the rear of his home. As he mounted the porch in front of his home in an effort to get a gun to defend himself, the gunman overtook him and again placed the gun against his stomach, declaring with an oath "I have a good mind to do you up right now." The gunman then turned about and disappeared People in the vicinity of Fourth and Grant streets reported to the police they had noticed a man acting suspiciously about the Grant street school building a short time before the store was held up. Following the holdup of Krapf the police picked up a suspect who was taken to city hall.

He could not be identified by Krapf. City patrolmen Havrilla and Yack-shaw investigated the store robbery and Motorcycle Officer Elliot and patrolmen Kley and Havrilla were called on the Krapf holdup. Transferred To Erie.

Jane Watson to- if "-T Congressman of This District Attacks System of Allocation of Federal Money. Declaring the four hundred million flood control bill introduced in the closing days of congress was one of the rawest pieces of legislation ever presented to fool all the people and that it had been referred back to the Senate committee, pigeon holed and dead, Congressman C. Murray Turpin (R. Pa) further emphasized it was significant that of this great amount of work only a little over one million was allocated to the entire six New England states now conceded in the Republican ranks. Turpin said the bill did not carry an appropriation of one cent or any other amount to carry out the provisions of the bill and that without funds naturally the work could not be done.

He expressed the belief the bill was a publicity stunt to enthuse the country for the fall election although he did not think the president had any part in the presentation of the legislation. This bill, Turpin affirmed, did not in any way add to the authority now vested in the President, the Army Engineers or the work relief agencies, nor did it in any way reduce this authority. Congressman Turpin had been promised in writing last April that if a flood control bill was drafted the local area would be included. It was the intention then Turpin said to authorize six hundred million dollars be taken frcm the four billion dollars already granted the President for work relief for this work, but the committee without notifying the congressmen took two hundred million in work from the bill and made no monetary authorization of any kind to carry out the provisions of the bill. Following the defeat of his amendment to reinstate the local project as did all other congressmen with out success Turpin got in touch with Senator Copeland in charge of the legislation in the Senate who agreed to accept the amendment if offered.

Turpin then contacted Senator Guf- fey who agreed to present the amendment but before he could do so the bill had been sent back to the committee to die there. Turpin said that a hundred and twenty of the projects listed in the bill including the seven on the west branch of the Susquehanna had never been reported to Congress by the Army Engineers while the local project was reported in nineteen twenty-seven. Returns From Atlantic City. Mr. and Mrs.

Samuel Solt and daughter Miss Laura Solt have returned from Atlantic City where they spent vacations. To Entertain Class. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Iluttenstine of Hobbie, will be hosts Wednesday night to the Good Cheer Class of the Lutheran church of Hobbie.

FOB KINDERGARTEN Miss Margaret E. Rowland announces the opening of the 1935-36 term of her daily musical kindergarten, the studio of which is located in the Jr. Mechanics' hall, West Broad street. Registration and enrollment will take place between the hours of 9 to 12 a. m.

and 1 to 4 p. m. tomorrow and Wednesday. Miss Rowland, who has just returned after completing extensive studies at Columbia University, New York, will feature kindergarten activities combined with special musical instruction. Kindergarten is a link between home and school.

It fosters alert minds, healthy bodies, skilled eyes and hands, ability to work and play with others and so lays the basis for school work. Limited enrollment in Miss Rowland's class will make possible indi vidual attention being paid to every child. Parents are assured of the most modern methods of technique in training to develop the personality, character and talents of their children. The modern method of approach to this form of education is highly important as it is during this period of life that the individual's mental and physical capacities are most flexible. Daily transportation by experienced drivers will relieve parents of the inconvenience of personally bringing their children to kindergarten while assuring the utmost safety of their little ones.

Gus Walser have returned to Hawley after a weelf end slay in town. Returned To Wellsboro. Dr. John Turner and his brother Will have left for Wellsboro after ill of handing out relief checks for rentals in the Hazleton district where landlords are to get their payments direct instead of a share of the relief client's check were an nounced today when the Executive Committee of the Hazleton Landlords' Association met at its offices in the Markle Bank Building. Steps were taken to have relief denied to unemployed who interfere with eviction proceedings instituted by landlords.

Edward Jenkins was chairman of the meeting and the committee composed of Attorney Joseph Sherman, James Dougherty and Frank Miller reported on the outcome of their conference at Harrisburg with State Relief Director Robert L. Johnson. Mr. Johnson gave the committee every consideration and courtesy an said the Hazleton group was the rst landlords association to pre- sent its claims. Summarized, the outcome of the conference was set follows: Mr.

Johnson agreed that hereafter instead of the relief client getting a check that included money that should go to the landlord for rent, the check shall be sent direct to the landlord. He agreed that landlords in the future shall have the right to file their own applications with the relief board for rental due from those who are on relief. The committee directed that a request be made to Mr. Johnson that when and if unemployed interfere with constables who are evicting delinquents ehall be stricken off the relief rolls of the district. Frank Miller, secretary, reported he had gone to the county board and protested against the delays that occur in the sending of checks for rent and in his presence, 35 cases were looked up and the checks issued to local landlords for their rent under the direct payment plan the comittee to Harrisburg has secured.

The committee feels these checks should be delivered by tonight to the 35 landlords. In addition 68 more cases were reported to the board by Mr. Miller and the rent claims were approved which means checks for 68 more landlords in a couple of days. The executive committee reports that membership in the association is growing rapidly. It has been busy enrolling landlords and the united efforts of the members have resulted in the signal achievements gained in the summary given of the con ference with State Director Johnson and with the county board.

The committee asks that all landlords who are held up on their rent in relief cases should call on Secretary Frank Miller, 33 South Poplar street who will attend to their grievances.
