Elmer Harders, 21, 622. Wilson street, was held by city police today on a charge of robbery and is to be turned over to district court, said Chief of Police H. C.

Harders was arrested Saturday night by Chief Riebau for questioning about theft of $37 from Rushford man. Ernest Anderson, who complained that a companion on a taxi ride had gone through his pocketa while he was intoxicated and had stolen his money. The prisoner has admitted the theft, according to police. The robbery, which occurred about 2 a. m.

Saturday, was not reported to police until Saturday evening, but patrolman, William Multhaup, recalled having seen Anderson in company with Harders in Huff street tavern while Anderson was displaying a roll of money and to be unable to handle himself." Advised Him to Ge Home. Multhaup went into the tavern, took Anderson's money off the counter, counted it for him and put it in Anderson's pocketbook, advising him to go to bed. Anderson was willing, and the patrolman called a cab for him. Harders told police that he had been with Anderson and another man while they were drinking beer and shaking dice, and that when Anderson got into the cab he climbed in with him. They went to the Owl hotel, he said, but no one would unlock the door to let them in, and the cab driver left after Harders said he would take care of Anderson.

Harders took Anderson and "walked him around." he said, and while they were walking on Third street near Center street Anderson slipped and fell. Harders reached his hand into Anderson's money pocket and took his purse and money, he said, and left Anderson lying on the sidewalk. He took the money out of the purse and threw the purse into the snow near the county jail, and then went home, where he threw a key to Andersons' suitcase into a heating stove. Hid Money in Sock. Police found only $3.25 in change on Harders when he was arrested at 9:30 p.

m. Saturday, but a thorough search of his person disclosed that he had concealed three $10 bills inside his sock, and was walking on the missing money. Harders was arrested two years ago, Jan. 17, 1933, with two other Winona youths, on third degree burglary charges after alleged complicity in a series of house burglaries and thefts from homes while the owners or tenants were absent. Harders was placed on probation and the other two were sentenced to indeterminate terms at St.

NEXT DOOR or Phone 5562 W. A. HODGINS TRANSFER DRAY LINE Winter Sports Popular as Skaters, Skiers, Tobogganists Take to Open Sunday's bright crisp weather attracted many outdoor sports fans to the slopes surrounding the city for an afternoon of tobogganing and skiing in the deep snow which only a few days before almost completely blocked traffic in this territory. A large number of skaters made use of the thickened ice on Lake Winona, cleared by a group of boys under the direction of Edwin Prosser. The Winona Country club golf course, with its steeply sloping and unobstructed hills, was one of the most popular spots for tobogganers and ski riders.

New York- Four ships stood by today to aid the Japanese freighter Victoria Maru, which had been pounded into an unmanageable condition by mid-Atlantic gales. The liner Albert Ballin reported by wireless today that, in addition to itself, the Pacific Trader, the Karl Clasen and the Amsterdam had reached the stricken ship. The Japanese vessel's captain and chief officer are dead, the third officer was lost and seven seamen were injured.

SOS messages, Intercepted by other ships that went racing to her rescue, and relayed to shore, told of her bridge being destroyed by mountainous waves. The last message reported from her wireless man, however, said: "I am alone but present conditions not so dangerous." From the staccato story told in her meagre messages, sea-going men deducted that the stricken lost her rudder in the storm; was being directed by the movement of her propeller, and apparently was holding her own. The drama of the ship against the sea was brought vividly into the warm living rooms ashore after the Japanese freighter told of her radio receiving apparatus being disabled and asked that she be communicated with on commercial wave lengths between 200 and 400 meters. Regular broadcasts were interrupted to assure the surviving members of the crew that their SOS had been received, and that ships in the vicinity were steaming to give aid. ALCOHOL KILLS 18.
