No Shot Heard and Three Men Made Successful Get-away in Ornwrl New York, December 16.?Three masked robbers enterd the rooms of a jewelry concern 011 the eighth floor of an office building in the heart of the Fifth avenue shopping district this afternoon shot and killed Edwin W. Andrews, a member of the firm, bound and gagged three other men and escaped with jewels valued at $100,000. Stepping from the crowds of Christmas shoppers passing the building? located between Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth streets in the center of a group of department stores, bank&i and exclusive shops?the men took the elevator to. the. floor upon which Andrews's firm has offices. Mr. Andrews was alone. Just what occurred, police, investigating the case, have been unable to determine. They believe that Andrews attempted to close the door of the safe and that one of the men shot him. No shot was heard in nearby offices and Andrews was dead when found. Luke Mulligan, a messenger, was the first to disturb the robbers. As he entered he was grabbed, bound, gagged and thrown on the floor bej side Andrews. Two salesmen, Arthur Merthe, of Newark, and Vin-, cent Provenzano, entered soon after- j ward and met with the same treatment. I The two salesmen entered sep- j arately. They carried sample cases! of jewelry. The robbers "covered" j them with a gun?believed to havej been a long barreled revolver or i sawed off rifle, fitted with a silencer j ?and took their cases. While two of I the bandits bound the salesmen, a ; third rifled the safe. Provenzano and Merthe later crawled into the hallway, where they were found. A woman stenographer from a nearby office discovered the two salesmen and her cries brought others, none of whom had heard any shot. Police, however, found an empty cartridge in the room. <r INESS AS USU. ti numbers of ba 3 gotten, and are le for BANKS T is.

Black, treasurer of the Near East Relief, has received a telegram from Henry Morganthau, former ambassador to Tur- , key, telling of the deplorable condi- , tions now existing in the Near East and making an earnest plea to the 1 people of the United States not to abandon the little orphans who are now being taken care of by the con- : try. "America won the admiration and / gratitude of the Near East by disinterested altruism and' philantrophy , during the past four years. Peace and order have not been restored. ; These people are still helpless. Their land has again been the battleground : of contending forces. Their efforts ; to maintain independence have parti- ' ally failed owing to the superior force of their neighbors. "Large numbers of refugees have again been dispossessed of their ' temporary homes. Recent cables state that the roads leading to va- j rious places of safety are crowded with refugees. A hard winter has j begun. The snow is knee deep in many places. These helpless refu- ] gees are again thrown on our mercy. 3 | Unless we heed their cry they will 1 perish this winter by the thousands. "The situation today is worse than it was last year. The Near East Relief is the only organization whbse funds are used for this work. Hundreds of thousands of these people are living today who would have per- | ished had it not been for American relief. Large numbers of orphans * now in the more than two hundred orphanages maintained by the Near , East Relief are totally dependent upon the Near East Relief for the simplest necessities of life. They must now be left to perish after being rescued by us. No matter where these people are or which faction claims the right to govern them the I refugees are homeless orphans and1 helpless. Their forces are turned i towards us in despair and expectancy, j They are the Tiny Tims of the holi- j day season." j All contributions should be sent to E. O. Black, treasurer Near East Relief.

Another request I wrish ( to make is that all large and' small i. farmers get up a list of all the hands [ in their employ and make their re- I turns for them. This would save a lot of trouble.
