Knickerbocker ICE Company the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Company are with the police in the man-hunt for the three bandits who engaged in yesterday's holdup.

They are not the same group of thugs who took part in the holdup of the Ward's Baking Company's cashier. The money stolen yesterday was covered by a blanket bond of $30.000. Tracing the Murder Car. In their efforts to trace back the movements of the 7-passenger Cadillac sedan 1 used by the three bandits. the police have sent a description of the car to all public and private garages and gasoline stations in the city in the hope that somebody may have seen it prior to the holdup.

The description mentioned the circumstances that there was no spare tire on the rim on the tire rack in the rear of the car, that it was a Model 61 painted black with motor No. P--908 and that the initials were inscribed upon the doors. The police are anxious to determine whether or not a car of that description was stored in any city garage since Oct. 81. The car was stolen from in front of 2665 Grand Concourse, the Bronx, on Nov.

1. It was owned by Jacob Monsky. The original license plates were numbered "107-623." New York, but had been removed and replaced by plates numbered This number was found to have been issued to a "Joseph Samuels of 331 E. 25th whose name has been determined by the police to be a fictitious In the abandoned car were found iwo boxes of revolver cartridgesone of .32 caliber and one of .45 caliper. Both had been opened and a number of cartridges removed.

This indicated that the bandits had been prepared to shoot. There was also hoister found, one such as is secreted beneath a coat. A blackjack was also found. The description of the men broadcast by the police is as follows: "No. 1-About 30 years old, slim.

dark complexion, high cheek bones, wore a dark fedora hat, apparently an Italian." "No. 2-About 23 years old, short and stocky, full round face, wore a light overcoat and a brown fedora hat." "No. 3-The chauffeur, wore light suit and gray cap." William Morris, superintendent of the Fidelity and Claim Department the U. S. Fidelty and Guaranty Company, a said today that the comwould consider the wisdom of offering a reward for the apprehension of the men.

One suggestion advanced today by al veteran detective was that the practice of loafing should be rigidly dealt with and he called attention to the dimculty of getting the courts to hold men arrested for vagrancy. The police got a lift in their hunt. this afternoon, when a new witness appeared at the Bath Beach station who said that he saw the holdup men. yesterday, had seen them in the neighborhood before and would know them it he saw them again. He asked Capt.

George Busby to take him to headquarters so that he might have a look at the gallery of crooks. The witness is Henry Beck, a ma. chinist. living on 53d st. near New Utrecht ave.

He was on the stairs at the 55th st. station looking at the want ads in a newspaper when he two men pass him, one of whom lad something wound about his hand, probably a muffler to deaden the sounds of the firing. One of the men wes about 35, he said, and the other about 30. His information led Capt. Busby to send number of detectives to search then neighborhood anew.

All last night the police, in force, threaded their way through the New Utrecht district. looking for men had figured in holdups in the past or to whom there clung the slightest atmosphere of suspicion, and as fast as they found them hurried them to the Bath Beach station. where they were questioned closely.

As fast as each could display a clean bill of health he was allowed to go. The Bath Beach station, strategically located, was the center of activity and the wisest heads and most experienced men in the Police, Dewere assembled there. They used the station as a headquarters from which they dispatched de. tectives in all directions. Captain Daniel Carey.

the West End Bank from which the money was being transferred when the holdup took place, and the branch of the Irving National Bank 10 which it was being moved, were questioned but they could throw 00 light on the situation. Capt. Busby and the two Capta. Carey had 25 men out in a wide area around the scene of the holdup look. ing for suspects.

Five suspects were taken to the Bath Beach station yes- terday afternoon, thoroughly ined. but at 3 this morning they were permitted to go for there was nothing on which they could be held. A score of chauffeurs and driv. ers were also questioned without any very tangible result.

In the high pitch of excitement which swept everybody within hail of the scene of the shooting no one got anything but an indefinite description of the three bandits.

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce urged the inclusion of specifie plans tor the Ashland pl. connection in the layout of the Crosstown way line at the hearing this afternoon before a joint session of the Transit Commission and the Mayor's Transit Committee at City Hall. The hearing was arranged for the purpose of sounding public sentiment on two alternative routes for linking the Crosstown line with the 4th ave. subway. The Transit Commission proposed that the Crosstown line follow Bedford ave.

Irish Blames Lenient Judges.

Brooklyn bankers today generally urged the use of armored cars every time large sums of money are to be transferred as the best means of preventing increasing robberies of payrolls and bank currency. The concensus of the leading tankers of the boro is that regardless of the fact that the banks are protected by insurance to the full extent the sums lost the gering of the lives of bank employees can be avoided by taking advantage of the services of companies furnishing armored cars and heavily armed guards. Many Brooklyn banks already use the services of the armored car companies, and the bankers pointed out that the same service is available to manufacturers and others. Small concerns, not feeling justified in employing armored cars, should ask for the extra police protection offered by Commissioner Enright, in the opinion of several Brooklyn bankers. Bankers of the boro generally place little responsibility for recent robberies upon inadequate police protection, but William S.

Irish, vice president of the First National Bank of Brooklyn, holds leniency of judges in holdup cases to be a big factor in the increase of such robberies. "The judges are entirely too lenient." Mr. Irish said. "If the courts would give these men the severest possible penalties there would be 8 great decrease in the number of such occurrences as yesterday." Arthur W. Spolander, cashier of the People's National Bank of Brooklyn, said that banks and concerns transferring large payrols should be compelled to use the armored car service.

"We have no right." Mr. Spolander said, "to subject our employees to the risk 111 curred in undertaking to transfer large sums of money through the street." A. M.

Today the police questioned the letter carriers of the Blythebourne Branch Postoffice underncath 1 the elevated structure, where the holdup occurred, some of whom gave chase to the bandits in a car which they commandeered. The questioning was mainly for the purpose of strengthening, if possible. the description of the missing bandits, in which there are many gaps.

Pretty Tichenor, an exhibition dancer of 105 W. 55th Manhattan, today called upon the Board of Bishops of the M. E. Church, now in session at the Simpson M. E.

Church, and presented letters from her mother and herselr protesting against the amusement ban and asking for its removal. In her letter to the bishops Miss Tichenor says that she is a gooG Methodist and a member of the Southern M. E. Church, which does not recognize the Northern church's ban, She dancing, asks the theaters "revered and leaders" cirif the ban is to apply to members of the Southern church if they unite, seems likely, and if she will have to resign from the church, which means 20 much to her, if unification takes place.

E. Church. The Rev. Albert E. Beebe, speaking for the bishops who are holding their conference at his church, said that the bishops could not accept the letters as they had no authority to receive such protests.

In 50 years I have never known any one to be expelled from a Methodist Episcopal Church under the Amusement paragraph.

"The Amusement Law has lost many fine people to Methodism. No other great denomination has any such legislation. To get rid of the paragraph and to lead our and people service to lives of genuine piety will. I verily believe, accomplish far more than to continue a paragraph which is a law in statement and effect. but never a law in enforced fact.

do not anticipate that the Bishops at this session will take any action. Only the general conference can decide that matter. but if the paragraph does not go in May, 1924. it is sure to go some time, The sooner it is repealed the better will it be for Christ's clause, For that clause alone I have stated my views and I shall to continue to advocate them steadfastly."
