Wall had spent the Winter at the Hotel de Paris here and was taken to a hospital three days ago. Since his wife died a year ago he had led a lonely life. Since 1912 Wall has lived in France, dividing his time between a hotel overlooking the Tuileries Gardens in Paris and Monte Carlo. He won attention more than 50 years ago by the elegance his garb. His box coats were of the brightest plaids, his trousers always fitted tightly and his hat always was silk.

His mustache dropped but curled at the ends. What really made him stand out, however, were his collars. They were stiff and straight. riding his ears and sticking out in two points so high in front that they held his chin up. Wall had a taste for champagne and, according to his boast, for 60 years he never drank water nor al.y thing else except champagne.

In his later years Wall's dog, ChiChi. was as famous as he was. It won all the medals in dog shows around New York and France before it died in 1924 at the age of 16. ChiChi was buried under a granite tombstone in the dogs' cemetery at Ansieres and "wrote" a posthumus autobiography through Wall's wife. Dr.

INgersoll 2-2200 204 Bedford Are. EVergreen 8-1634 All roads and transit lines leading out of Manhattan were guarded by police today a few minutes after three bandits escaped from a downtown furrier's establishment with $1,500 in pelts and some jewelry. The robbery occurred in the workroom of Seidler Brothers, furriers, on the 20th floor of 301 7th Ave. The bandits, all Negroes, gained entrance to the room by the rear door, at which they appeared on the pretext that they had been sent from another establishment for some furs. Messengers had been expected and they were admitted to the room, where Herman and Nathan Seidler were at work with two helpers.

Suddenly slamming the door behind them, the three pulled out guns, forced the four victims against a wall and bound them securely. The trio then compelled them to lie down on the floor of a small office. After robbing them of wristwatch and a diamond ring the bandits scooped up three bags of furs and left by the freight vator. Struggling out of their bonds a few minutes later, the victims called police.
