Gangs, led by desperadoes who fear neither gun nor law. continue to prey on Oklahoma" banks. But the night riding bandits who "blew" the safe and then sometimes "shot It odt" with townspeople while making their escape, hove given way to gangsters who hoist the strong box into a track, take it to a secluded spot and obtain the money at leisure. Bank banditry in Oklahoma last year ranged from a $75,000 pay roll car robbery here to a sensatiouai horseback robbery in which three men rode into the little southern Oklahoma village of Caney, hitched their horses, looted the tills and rode out of town with $500 amid a fusillade of shotgun fire from surprised citizens. They were caught. Bandits Change Tactics. An evolution is noted in the tactics of southwestern bank bandits.. Methods employed In the days of the Dalton and Jesse James gangs--the "soap bandits"--are used no more. It was Henry Starr, who occupies -a-orominent niche in Oklahoma's hall of fiime for bad men, who inaugurated daylight horseback rolit § ies. Starr and his honcl.*ien rode Into a town, shot at windows and-- occasionally a luckless byst:'4>der who did not move swiftly enough. They forced the banker to hold his hands skyward while they looted till and safe. With the advent of the automobile the bank robbers changed tactics u;;:iin. The movement was led by the lamed Matthew Klmes and Hay Ter rill, both now serving life terms. Fast automobiles were used "by the Klines-Terrill gang In fleeing from the scene of a rol4>ery. Sometimes they " "pulled a double header" and robbed two banks in the sauie town the same day. In the last half dozen Oklahoma bank robberies the bandits have talked and joked with early risers while they dragged the safe outside the bank, hoisted it to a truck and then . left town waving good natured fare- , wells to residents who watched their savings carted away before an alarm could be given. Safes carried away are often found in abandoned wells or in river beds, their contents missing. But figures show, Eugene P. Gmn, secretary of the Oklahoma Bankers' association, said, bank robbing Is an maprotitable business. Six Bandits Killed. 'Last year 75 per cent of the men engaged In bank robbing In Oklahoma were either apprehended or killed. On the other hand, only about $50,000 of the approximately $1 TiO.OOO stolen from banks was recovered. Oklahoma bankers have declared "open season" on bandits by announcing the state association will spend $."{50,000 In the next IS months In warfare on bundits. How this money will be spent remains unannounced except that a certain amount will go for rewards for robbers, dead or alive. La«t year six bank bandits were killed In Oklahoma. The average number of officers and bankers killed In the state annually by bandits Is four. LIGHTS DIXON ot NEW YORK Be It Never So Humble "Ton know the old saying about what half of the world doesn't know about the other half. For better understanding, then, let's look into how a ffew millionaires live. Mr. E. F. Hutton's little flat is a mere triplex. According to report, neither Mr. Hutton, the chief housekeeper nor the architect knows exactly hoto many rooms there are, but "the estimate Is 65. The rent Is reported to be $75,000 a year. Arthur Brisbane's triplex apartment was to ,have had 63 rooms, hut Mr. Brisbane wanted larger Chambers. So there are only 40. The living room Is two stories high, 60 feet long, and has a log burning fireplace in either end. One of the new buildings going up Is a large affalr of fourteen stories-- yet It will contain only seven apartments. But what apartments! Many of the new developments along the East river feature private yacht landings. gymnasiums and swimming pools. J. ,H. Carpenter has one with gold doorknob*. i • . • • • >•••••":' •• Shy And. speaking of buildings, It might he interesting to inquire into what persons or establishments occupy the top floors of some of the skyscrapers. In the early days of the skyscrapers, when thirteen stories was a dizzying height, people had their doubts about occupying space so lofty. When the city's first skyscraper, the thirteen story Tower building, was built more than a generation ago, the owner feared that no one could be persuaded to rent the upper floors. In order to reassure people, Bradford Lee Gilbert, the architect, took the thirteenth floor for his own offices. Aerial Camp«i Coming to modern times, nit find that the campus of New York university Is on the fortieth floor of the Woolworth building. The topmost three floors of the Chrysler btilldlng--the sixty-sixth, seventh and eighth, will be accupled by the Cloud club, an exclusive restaurant. A twenty-one year lease has been signed, the total rental being more than $4,000,000. Across Forty-second street, and slightly lower, is the tea room on the fifty-sixth and topmost floor of the Chanln building. There Is an outdoor promenade around this floor. Two or three stories below is a tiny theater, the highest in the world. The fifty-third floor of the Lincoln building, near Grand "Central, is three stories high, and was designed to be a gymnasium. It may, however, be converted to other uses. At the fiftieth level of the skyscraper at 1 Wall Street is a lounge for tired bankers. And the rent, so high up? It is almost four times the rent on lower floors. (4M>r th« Ball SynSlett*.
