Troops Called
To Quell Riot;
5 Sailors Shot
Jackies and Marines Take
Prisoner From Police
at Revere Beach, Then
Bombard Station House
10000 Witness Battle
100 Naval Men Arrested:
Women and Girls Faint
as Excitement Runs High

REVERE, Mass, Aug. 8.-Federal
troops from Fort Banks were rushed
to Revere Beach tonight after a crowd
OF sailors and marines had attacked a
Metropolitan Park police officer, who
had attempted to arrest sailor on a
charge of drunkenness, and attacked
the police station.
While thousands of Sunday night
pleasure seekers looked on, the sailors
and marines, joined by few soldiers,
and numbering more than 400. took
the prisoner from the officer and then
gave battle to other members of the
force.
One Hundred Sailors Arrested
Some of them seized rifles from near
by shooting galleries and opened fire
on the police station. The police re-
turned the flre with revolvers and shot
guns. Five sailors were seriously
wounded and there were many minor
injuries.
Help was summoned from Fort
Banks, the Chelsea police and the Bos
ton navy yard. A detachment of 800
soldiers from Fort Banks, with fixed
bayonets, was hurried to the scene and
proceeded to clear the beach The 20
lice estimated the crowd at the beach
at the time of the rioting to be 100000.
The naval authorities gave orders to
the navy provost guard that every
sailor in Revere was to be arrested.
Late tonight more than one hundred
had been placed under arrest, and the
authorities seemed to have gained con-
troll of the situation.
Several patrolmen were injured in
the fighting, none seriously. The
beach is under the control of the
Metropolitan District Commission and
is patrolled by the commissions police
force.
Throng Watches Battle
Most of the minor injuries to DO
licemen and bystanders were caused
by flying stones when the mob hurled
missiles at the police station. The
windows were smashed and much of
the furniture inside the station was
broken
The excitement among the onlookers
was intense, especially when the officers
fired volleys over their heads in an eff
fort to brighten away their attackers.
Women and girls screamed and some
of them tainted in the crush as the
throng pressed close to watch the
battle
1t was more than three hours before
the soldiers and police. assisted by
naval provost guards, drove away the
throng. The police station was filled
with prisoners and many more were
lined up outside under guard.

Dying Banker
L ound Drug@y,geed
In Strange Bed
e. I'll. Grim, of W. Va, I'm
conscious i'm Room Where
Assailants Are Thought
to Have Concealed Him
Door of House Forced
Only 27 Gents i'm Pockets.
Although HeW as i'm Habit
of Carrying Large Sums

f. H. Grim, bank president and lead
ing citizen of Philippi w. Va, was
found dying from morphine yesterday
at 1853 West Thirtv-fourth Street, in the
room of James Ready. Ready never
had laid eyes on him before. he told
the police, and could nor explain how
Grim got into his room.
1t is thought that the banker was
drugged and left in the first accessible
hiding place that his ASSISTANTS came
across He died within a few hours at
New York Hospital without recovering
his senses. a. S. Bradford, of 31S
West Eighty ninth Street, who identi-
fed the bod~, said that Mr. Grim had
come to New York on business of i'm
portaScc.
Although some jewelry was found on
Mr.. Crim's person he had only twenty
seven cents in his pocket, circum-
stance which was mystfying to Mr.
Bradford, who said that the banker was
accustomed to carry large sums with
him. Mr.. Grim leaves a widow and a
daughter. His attorney and business
manager are expected to-day to take
charge of his body, which is at the
Campbell Funeral Church.
tOunO door unlocked
1t was o'clock when Ready got
home. He noticed that the front door
was unlocked and that the door of his
room stood ajar, alth OUCH he distinctly
remembered closing and locking it
when he went out Saturday night.
All thought OF sleep was driven from
Rcady's mind by the sight that met his
gaze as he entered his room. A man
about fifty years old was sprawled on
his bod, fully dressed and apparently
sound asleep. Ready never had seer
the man before. He spoke to the stran-
ger; he called to him; he shook him by
the shoulder.
There was no response. The intruder
was in a stupor. Ready called Patrol
man Egan. of the West Thirtieth Street
police station. Egan could make moth
ing Of the mystery. but after a glance
at the contracted pupils of the stran-
gers eyes decided that it was an ambu-
lance case.
While waiting for the ambulance
Egan went through the pockets of the
unconscious man in an endesvor to
find something which would identify
him. Letters and papers were found
indicating that his name was Z. H.
Grim and that he was staying al the
Hotel Pennsylvania. Egan noticed that
the lock on Rcady's door had been
forced.
Autopsy TO Be Held
Physicians at the New YORK Hospital
where Mr.. Grim was taken, said he was
suffering frori acute morphine poison
ing. An autopsy probably will be or
dered to determine the cause of death,
however.
Mr. Grim registered at the Hotel
Pennsylvania August A. No one in the
Thjrty-fourth Street house could ex-
plain how he had got into Rcadys
room. Neither morphine nor NOR
phinu hottie WAS found in the ROOM

Harding Forces
Call Cox Talk
Maze of Error
Curious Mixture of Mis-
statements Where Facts
We're Ignored Or Con-
torted, According to Critics
Tax Charges Refuted
Republicans Accept Chal-
lenge to Make Wilson
Covenant Issue of Fight
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

MARION, Ohio, Aug. S.-The Re-
publican party is ready to join battle
before the country on the assumption
of Governor James M. Cox, in his
speech accepting the Democratic Presi-
Dental nomination, that the Senate
subverted the wish and purpose of the
American people in preventing ratifi-
cation of the Wilson covenant.
The Cox challenge was accented to-
day in a statement issued from the
headquarters Of Senator Warren G.
Harding that is understood to repre-
sent the views Of the nominee. This
statement classified the Cox address
as curious mixture of errors and mis-.
statements.
Senator Hardings advisers selected
from the speech as the most glarinp
error Governor Cox's statement that
the Republican Congress since the ar
mlstIce has made no effort to enact nor
passed single law "to lift from the
American people load of war taxa
non that cannot be tolerated in a time
of peace"
The Harding headquarters stateme mt
says TINS is untrue, pointing out that
the ooth Republican Congress, in lit
tie more than year, reduced taxes
S2,414.115,144.13, appropriating this
much less than the Wilson Administered
ton demanded should be appropriated.
The statement which bears the sig
nature Senator Harding's Headquar-
tiers" follows:
Governor Cox.s acceptance address
will not fail to please his political op-
pcnents, Republicans and Democrats
alike, who are convinced that the
country's most immediate task is to get
It's business administration into the
hands of people competent to take care
OF it, and get its international rela
tons into the control of men who are
Americans first rather than interna
tlonalists.
Many Errors in Speech
The speech is a curious mixture of
errors and misstatcments as to facts
so we'll known that mere utterance can
cause nothing less than amazement.
"Thus on the subject of government
expenses Governor Cox said:
Immediately following the armistice
measures to modify onerous and annoy
ing taxation should have been taken
and the Republican Congress
has not made single effort or passed
single law to lift from the American
people load OF war taxation that can
not be tolerated in a time of peace
Federal taxation must be heavily re-
duced, and it will be done at once if g
Democratic Administration is chosen in
November
"The foregoing is far from recorded
facts. The Goth Congress in lit
tie more than year of its existence

Six Well-Fed Bandits Return
To Steal Restaurant Cash Box

Six men entered the restaurant of
Peter Menidis, 2235 Eighth Avenue, at
2:3O a. m. yesterday and ordered q
meal that inspired the chef to his
highest culinary achievement In
cluded in the order was a thick, juicy
steak, smothered in 50 worth of mush
rooms e
After enjoying the meal and leaving
a generous tip for the waiter, the six
men sauntered toward the door. As
they paid the check, which amounted
to more than SIS, one of them remarked
to the cashier: mice steaks you have
here; nice place. See you later"
The cashier beamed upon them and
suggested that they come again. Two
minutes later he regretted the invita-
ton. Two of the well-fed strangers
returned with revolvers drawn. "Sit
down and. keep quiet" one of them or
dered. eve have work to do"
Into the restaurant marched two
more of the six. They grabbed the big
cash register, which contained the SO
they had contributed and about $490
more, and hurried out

LIVERPOOL, Aug 8.-The Liverpool
police tonight announced officially that
Archbishop Mannix, of Melbourne
Australia, will not be permitted to land
in Liverpool.
The Archbishop, from the steamship
Baltic, on which he sailed from New
York, sent wireless message to Dub
lin newspapers saying he had received
a message by wireless from General
Macready declaring that if he attempt
ed to land in Ireland he would be ar
rested. This was the only direct word
received from the prelate
Great secrecy surrounds the govern
ment's plans to handle the Archbishop.
Preparations are being made at half a
dozen ports to receive him, Including
and Fishguard.
There were countless rumors and a
fiat statement by one evening paper
to-day that Archbishop Mannix would
dock here at o'clock tomorrow even
ing.
Secrecy Battles Plans
The Lord Mayor of Dublin and
others planning addresses of welcome
were as much in doubt as to the gov
ernmcnt's intentions as they were yes
terday They had proceeded with plans
for the greatest reception in Liver
pools history.
The city was quiet today, Irish or
ganizers having purposely kept would
be demonstrators in check in order to
avoid giving the authorities any pre-
text for banning demonstrations to-
morrow. Some thousand Irishmen are
gathered here, but aside from a small
assemblage at the pier this afternoon
for want of a better place to go, they
were not in evidence in public.
Councillor P. ]. Kelly, who was in
charge of the plans for the local recep-
intentions about landing Archbishop
Mannix. He repeated his wireless
message of yesterday to the Archbishop,
but has received no word of any sort
from the Baltic
Arriving passengers are not permitted
to communicate with those awaiting
them on shore and the withholding of
passes to the landing stage is causing
considerable inconvenience to those
Americans and others who have come
to meet friends and relatives.
There was a rumor this afternoon
that the Baltic had been sighted off
the Mersey bar and this sent those pre-
pairing to welcome the Archbishop sour
rying to gather their forces, but the
craft proved to be another vessel
Prepare for Trouble
Organizations here have given a
verbal promise to refrain from counter
demonstrations, but say ominously.
1--WE won't be responsible if there is
any trouble"
The Catholic Bishop Cloyne publishes
letters from Archbishop Mannix dated
Los Angeles, June IA, in which he says
that he does not intend to act as an
agitator in Ireland, but SIMPLY wishes
to visit his old home. The Archbishop
wrote that he expected to attend a
number of receptions in the United
States, but did not want anything in
the nature of public reception in Ire
land.

DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. s.,
There was much discussion here
to-day over Governor Cox's fail
ure yesterday to insert the mys-
FERROUS 200 words he had prom
ised to make public in his speech
Of acceptance.
The story about hotel Hobbies is
that the 200 words were a ref
erence to the present interna-
tional situation in Europe, charg-
ing that it is the fault of Repub-
licans, but that Joseph P. Tum-
ulty, President Wilson's secre-
tary, disapproved the extract
when it was shown him upon his
arrival to attend the ceremonies,
and so it was left out.
From source close to the
Governor it is said the extract
was upon domestic issue.
