Drvs Will Demand L. S.
Buy All Liquor in Bond

Congress for Legislation Au-
thoriZing the Purchases

From The Tribuno's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-Auth orza
ton by Congress for the government
to purchase all alcoholic liquors now in
bonded warehouses as means Of aid
ing prohibition enforcement officers to
curb the illicit sale of whisky will be
demanded by dry workers all over the
country.
Definite steps toward this action it
is understood are being formulated by
prominent leaders of the Anti-Saloon
League of America.
Il cannot say that any definite steps
have been taken in the matter of the
governments purchase of liquor in
bond Albert Z. Shoemaker, of the
AntiSaloon League OF the District of
Columbia, said to-day. But I do know
thai the question has been and is be-
ing discussed by the league. The ex-
ecutiVe committee of the league would
have power to act IN the matter and it,
presume. would take the initiative in
asking Congress TO pass the necessary
measures
Wayne b. Wheeler, attorney for the
Anti Saloon League of America, was
absent from Washington, and those in
his office could not say if the demand
on Congress had been prepared. At the
Office of John f. Kramer, commissions T
of prohibition, it was said that no
knowledge of such move on the part
Of the "drys" had been reported.

Policeman Kills Crazed Man
In Battle at Edge of High Roof

Fifty second Street, formerly q sailor
in the navy, arrived on the roof. He
had seen the struggle from below. He
struck the negro with a club, dazing
him, then dragged Gill to safety.
Shot Twice, Attempts Flight
The policeman seized his revolver
and warded off another blow from the
madman, who had risen to resume the
fight. Both men attempted to check
the ferocous attack of the negro, but
it was of no avail. Gill took no more
chances. He fired. The bullet hit the
prisoner in the chest, but the madman
fought on. Gill fired again. This
bullet lodged in the prisoners stomach.
In spite of his wounds the negro ran.
He attempted to jump to the roof of
the adjoining house and failed. Before
the startled gaze of his pursuers. he
fell headlong to the ground. He was
dead when Gill reached him.
The death struggle on the roof was
the elimination of an action that had
begun on one of the floors below. An
excited woman had asked Gill to arrest
the negro. asserting that he had in
suited her. Gill found his man inside,
but when he attempted to arrest him
the negro had fed up the stairway
Officer Hurled Downstairs
The officer followed At the head of
the stairway the men wrestled and Gill
was hurled down the steps. He re-
sumed the chase and followed the man
to the roof
The dead man was identified as Rafael
Cotn. He is said TO have been dish
washer in restaurant at Fifty-eighth
Street and Sixth Avenue. He had come
to New York from Santo Domingo two
weeks ago, the police learned. Medical
Examiner Charles Norris said he was
convinced that Cotin was insane.

that the physicians in attendance we're

Occupants Of the Great Northern Ho

the desperate fight as one would fol-
low the lurid action iii an exciting
melodrama. They saw the policeman
grapple with his adversary; they saw
Gill throw his man; they saw the negro
grab the officers revolver and heard
the report of the pistol as the madman
fired, but Gill didn't surrender. The
bullet had grazed the officer, but Gill
fought on. With the negro still in
possession Of the gun, Gill graspee
his arm and held the weapon away
from him. With his free hand he pun

on the roof and the policeman fought
to regain his revolver
Gill had been overseas with the old
69th; he was twice decorated for
bravery on the battlefield, but no ad
venture in France equalled this one.
Prisoner and policeman moved closer
to the edge of the roof rs they battled
furiously. Astonished spectators in
adjoining buildings looked on, but were
too amazed to act
Over the edge of the roof went Gill
The negro, still sprawling, looked down
at him. Gill's right hand was holding
the weapon, still clutched by the negro.

Over London During Wei

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Much mystery
surrounded the appearance over the city
yesterday Of the great dirigible R-32
during the celebration attending the
arrival IN London of the Prince Of
Wales. The presence of this air
levlathan was not part of the official
program. The Manchester Guardian
to-day explains the matter thus:
"The R-32 is being used as a train
ing ship for the American crew which
will take the dirigible R-38 across the
Atlantic to America. The Yankees
were determined to see the Prince,
and, in order to take no chances, they
journeyed in the airship all the way
from Howden, in Yorkshire. Incl
dentally, the R-32 was one of the
features of the celebration, as she was
magnificent spectacle with her silver
sides glistening in the sunshine"

Proposes Deal With
Germany ON Advice of
International Bankers
Rift i'm Entente
Feared i'm London
Ostensibly Based on Repa-

lieved Due to Financiers
By Arthur S. Draper

From The Tribune's European Bureou
Copyright. 1920 New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-Out Of
series Of diplomatic exchanges be-
tween the British and French foreign
Offices and the conference. which
Premier DelacroiX of Belgium had
yesterday with Lloyd George, may
come the most important interna-
tional developments since the war.
The French say that the Entente
Cordialc has seen its last days, and
that Lloyd George will make an alli-
ance with Germany on the advice of
a group of international bankers.
The break between the British and
French is ostensibly over differences
on the question of German reparatior..
but is understood to be due really to
the acceptance by the British Premier
of the views OF these bankers, who see
greater possibilities in closer relations
with Germany than with France.
King Seeks Councillors Advice
The situation has reached the point
where, the Tribune correspondent is in
formed, the King has sought the opin-
ion Of some Of his councillors. He is
particularly interested in the Entente
Cordiale which was formed By his
father. Viscount Grey, who as Minis
ter Of State for Foreign Affairs in 1914,
had much to do with strengthening the
Entente, also has given his views or
recent developments to the King.
From French sources I learn that
President Millerand Of France and
Premier Lloyd George have drifted
apart and that there is little possibiI-
ity that they can reach an agreement
in policy toward Germany and Russia.
The presence of Delacroix in London
is explained by the statement that it
was hoped he might bring the Anglo
French leaders together on the matter
of reparations, but he is reported to
have had little success up to the pres
ent. Belgian sentiment at the moment
Great Britain.
Early Pact With Berlin Seen
The French think that Lloyd Georg.
will reach q settlement on the repara-
tions question before the United States
settles definitely the question of the
lndorsement or rejection of the Treaty
of Versailles. In fact the French be
lieve that the British Premier may
make an agreement with Germany thi.
year.
German officials here who are cog
infant of these developments in the in
ternational situation naturally are nigh
ly pleased, as they see in them a reduc-
tion in the amount Of reparations which
Germany must pay and the strengthen
ing of their countrys trade.
Although it may still exist in name.
1t Is no exaggeration to say that the
war entente is gone.
