Hilkey Robinson
Robbed Of $4355
Hilkey Robinson president of the
Seattle Smelting and Refining Com
pany and a well-known former re
sident and business man of the Sew
ard Peninsula and the Nome dis
trict in Alaska was held up and rob
bed of $4,155.00 in currency recent
ly while enroute to Bellingham from
Seattle says the Alaska Weekly.
Robinson had this large amount
of currency in a money belt around
his waist and was on his way to
Bellingham to buy gold. In his
capacity as president of the smelt
ing and refining company he had
been purchasing gold dust amal
gam and concentrates and payings
cash for the same. It was for this
reason that he had such a large
amount of currency on his person.
Robinson left Seattle in his car
unaccompanied. He was accosted by
a poorly dressed hitch hiker and
feeling sorry for the “musher” ac
ceded to his request and picked him
up About a mile further along the
road Robinson passed a car standing
beside the highway with a fiat tire.
A well dressed young man flagged
him down and asked to be hauled
as far as the next service station.
Again Robinson played the good
j Samaritan and no sooner had the
well-dressed young man who was
looking for a service station taken
a seat in the car than lie pulled a
gun prsesed it in the buck of Rob
inson s neck and ordered him to
drive up a side road away from the
highway. There two other men put
in their appearance and menacing
the driver with guns ordered him to
j step out of the car. Once on the
ground they evidently knew just
where to look and stripped him of
! his money belt and valuables. Then
I warning him to keep moving they
| started him on the back trail and
all four took to the brush.
Robinson walked back to the near
! est telephone and immediately got
'in touch with State Patrolman Jack
j Triplett who accompanied him to
j the scene of the holdup where Rob
! inson recovered his ear.
It is the opinion of Patrolman Trip
’ left that the holdup was an inside
job. He reasons that the "stick-up”
artists not only knew that Robinson
was coming that way but that he
i had a large sum of money on his
person as well and carefully plan
ned the holdup. If the first hitch
hiker had failed to get a ride they
doubtless figured that the disabled
motorist would connect. It is poss
ible that if this "plant” failed to
' click there would have been others.
Robinson recognized none of the
;men but has given the police a good
description of all of them and all
[possible clues are being run down.
Hilkey Robinson was in business
at Candle under the firm name of
Robinson and Greenberg. Recently
he closed out his Alaska business
and came to Seattle where he asso
I dated himself with the Seattle
I Smelting* and Refining Company.

Short Wave
Channel Is
Ushered In
Year Has Broadened Reception
Scope for Listeners on Radio
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK, — The past year
was one of definite discovery for
the average radio listener. He
found a fertile field for his partic
ular type of research—the short
wave channels. ,
Long open only to the amateur
wireless experts and innumerable
types of communication services
from police radio down to the short
est of the short wave broadcasters,
the space extending far below 200
meters is now affording listener op
portunity to tune in Europe, Asia,
and any place with ease.
All this hasn’t been altogether
due to the avidity of the man at the
dials, for the engineer is an import
ant factor in the picture. He has
improved the receiving equipment,
its circuits, tubes and the like.
Just as the broadcast outfit pass
ed into the single control stage, so
has the short wave set. except that
there is a wave-changing device to
switch from one channel to another
All Over The Dial
Then, to make it still easier for
the listener the engineer has turn
ed out sets that actually tune all
over the dial, in that they incor
porate broadcast and short wave
equipment back of the single con
trol.
In general, radio continued to
show steady improvement, with
most of the reception concentration
placed on what the research man
calls "high fidelity"; that is, a truer
copy of the original entertainment
signal. This all works towards bet
ter tone quality. „
At the same time the engineers
have been delving further into oth
er fields, such as the ultra-short
Waves. One of these activities has
had to do with facsimile, the trans
mission of the written, printed or
pictured word in a form identical
with the orginal copy.
Good Year Financially
Television, still in the future stage
didn't give much more an indication
of slipping out of the laboratories
than it has in recent years, although
there have been definite advance
ments in the development work
such as brighter and more detailed
pictures.
Broadcasting also kept up its for
ward move, with the organization
of a new chain of about 20 stations
by WMCA-ABS. From the pro
gram standpoint there was a greater
tendency toward hour-long pro

Financially on the networks the
year looked better than any since
this type of broadcasting began in
1926. There were fairly accurate
estimates that the 1934 income of
the major chains would be $45,000,
000—divided NBC $30,000,000 and
CBS $15,000,000—compared with the
best previous years 1932 when the
figures were $29,00,000 and CBS
$13000,000.

For Londoners
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON — By advertising his
churchyard in a London morning
paper, a suburban vicar stirred up
an ecclesiastical storm.
Appearing at the top of the
“agony” column, the vicar’s adver
tisement announced:
“Ancient churchyard, beautiful
country near London. Burial of a
few non-parisioners allowed at spec
ial fees. Write box . .
Answering numerous protests, the
ecclesiastical commission stated there
was no legal objection to the ad
vertisement.
