U. S. to Keep Flag ON Rhine, !.
Though Army Will Come Home

From The Tribune's Washinoton p7trenu
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The grad
ual withdrawal OF American troops
from German territory will ollow the
exchange of ratifcations of the peace
treaty between the United States and
Germany, but the American flag and a
small garrison of troops may remain
on the Rhine for some time, it was in
dicated to-day in high official quarter.
The army has one transport in SER
vice between this country and Ger
many, which makes round trip every
month 1t is contemplated that each
month small number of the army of
occupation will be withdrawn to this
country. Provision is made on the
transport to carry between 800 and GOO
men, ard the reduction in the force on
the Rhine will probably be made at
this rate. The force in Germany at
the present time is 13 900 men.
The retention of the American flag
and small garrison ON the Rhine will
probably be authorized as result of
the standing request from the govern
ments of Great Britain, France, Bel
gium and Germany to retain the Amer
lean flag with the Allied orce on the
German border. The American COM

1000 Irish Riot
At Columbus
Circle Meeting
Mob Attacks Clerk Accused
of Slur at s'the Cause
and Purss1es Taxi i'm
Which He Tries to Escape
Policeman Is Rescue1
Backs Man Against Wall
and Keeps Crowd OFF
With Threat to Shoot

More than a thousand Irish and their
adhererts engaged in q riotous demon
stration last night at Columbus Circle
during an address by an impromptu
lecturer on "the Irish cause" Before
the trouble ended patrolmen were COM
PEELED to draw revolvers and threaten
the ringleaders.
The trouble started apparently over
fight between two men each of whom
said later he had been attacked by the
other. Some one charged that Arthur
Gerstrer, clerk, twenty-five years
old, of $40 West Forty Street,
one Of the men in the fight, had made
remark derogatory to "the cause"
Gerstner was Immediately rushed by
Ia crowd and backed against the
Gotham National Bank, where he
fought off his assailants for time
but eventually was knocked down and
kicked.
Gerstner managed to wriggle free
and climb on a northbound taxicab,
the chauffeur of which speeded up in
an effort to get him away from his
assailants. By this time the mob hid
grown to more than 1000 persons, the
police say. Gerstner was closely pur-
sued by the crowd, his cab being un-
able to pass through the dense traffic.
When he reached Sixty-third Street
and Broadway Gerstner saw Patrolman
Herbert Meyer, of the West Sixty
eighth Street police station. Leaping
from the cab, he demanded police pre-
lection.
Patrolman Meyer drew his revolver
and threatened to kill the first man
that otfered TO molest Gerstner. lac
latter was bleeding from wounds in
the face and head. AS the mob mo-
mentarily became more threatening
aur> .nlan Mes or blew his whistle and
stood with Gerstner behind him, re-
volver leveled at the rioters, until aid
came.
Later Gerstner and Patrick Murray,
chauffeur thirty-nine years old. Of
408 West Thirty y-ninth Street, were ar
ragned in Night Court charged with
disorderly conduct. Each man charged
the other with assault There was no
mention in court of any remark insult
ing to the "Irish cause" as having pre-
cipitated the trouble.
Gerstner told Magistrate Frothing
ham ne saw Murray strike an old man
who was trying to force his way
through the crowd and interfered.
Murray denied striking the man and
said Gerstner struck him. Magistrate
Frothingham dismissed the case.
During the hearing q mob awaited
Gerstner outside. Bailiffs were or
dered to escort Gerstner to safety
through rear door.

Ladder Lures Thief to Capture
In Battle ON Waldorf Balcony

For the last month ladder has been
living in the alley between Thirty
fourth and Thirty third streets, back
of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, which
is known as Astor Court. but this morn
ing it will be gone. Its mission was
fulfilled little before dawn yesterday,
when it lured a youthful second-story
man to the fire escape of the hotel.
where he was trapped, shot and cap
tured by house detectives.
1t was about 4 o'clock that Joseph
r. Sui h, chief house detective, heard
n slight creaking on the fourth floor
fire escape above the court. He tele-
phoned message to the switchboard
onerator. which sent William Demarest,
an 7ther house detective. stealing eau
tiouslv into the court, where he took
his stand at the foot of the fateful
ladder.
Having given his partner time to
reach his post, Smith flung open the
window, revolver in hand.
"Move, and I'll b ow your head off "
came in mewhat quavery tones from
the slight figure that crouched on the
fire escape. and Smith thought that the
mans hand started for his pocket, as
if to draw a weapon.
Suspicion of this movement tight
ened the Grip of Smiths trigger finger
The report of his revolver echoed in
the canyon-like walls of the court. The
detonation WIS repeated again and
again as windows in the hotel went

guests, who sought to learn the cause
of +he disturbance.
They looked out upon fierce strug
gle on the tlimsy y-lookirg fire escape
balcony. Smith rad followed his bull
let and grappled with thesman on the
balcony. For minute or two they
swayed and tripped precariously, and
then the superior weight and strength
of the detective prevailed. BY the
time Demarest had worked his way up
the fire escape to the fourth floor with
his revolver in his hard Smiths pris-
oner was lying motionless, though con-
sc Gus.

He denied that he was the man for
whom the ladder trap was set some
five weeks ago, TIE man whom the
detectives hoped to catch in it had
used the ladder, which had been left
out overnight by ironworkers employ ed
on the hotel, to reach the fire escape
and loot several rooms on the second
floor.
He made his escape. but the house
detectives. surmis ng that he might re-
turn, had borrowsd TIE ladder from tie
ironworkers and left it lying in Astor

in Rivera Hall, Jamaica, was attacked,

Mcmahon said last night he had no

Mcmahon issued this statement last

Mayor Hylan began his speech with
a discussion OF the school situation. In
the course of his remarks he denounced
the Rockefeller Foundation, the Gary
system and the press.
Later the Mayor turned his attention
to the Police Department. He said
the underworld had run the DEPART

in mortal dread of newspaper men, who
could make or break him. He charged
that appointments had been made at

Canvass To Be Begun To-day
to Ascertain How Many

Think Half Oppose Move
Presidents Consider Danger
of Walk-Out Has Passed:
Many Substitutes Ready

Plans to ascertain how many Of
their employees would obey the rail-
road strike order if it should be car
ried into effect were made by the New
York General Managers Association at
a conference yesterday at rs Church
Street. The managers of twenty-five
railroads centering here decided, at the
suggestion Of T. Nj. Rine, vice-president
Of the Lackawanna, who presided, to
begin a canvass to-day of all their en-
ployees. 1t is the purpose to obtain
the sentiment of the workers without
requiring them to commit themselves.
Reports received by railroad officials
Yesterday were that not so per cent
of the employees of the Eastern roads
are in favor of striking Many of the
workers, while objecting to the reduc-
tions in pay decided upon by the Asso-
citation OF Railway Executives in Chica-
go, have indicated their willingness to
accept the lower scale provided the roads
reduce freight rates with q view Of
lowering the cos. of living. In answer
to this argument the executives have
stated definitely that the reductions
in wages would be given back to the
public i'll the form of lower freight {
rates on any commodities the Interstate
Commerce Commission would name.
Think Strike Danger Over
Possibility of a strike was declared
to have passed at the regular monthly
mee,lng OF the Eastern Railroad Presi-
dents Association at the Bankers
Club, 120 Broadway. Later, Daniel
Willard, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio, in an interview said he was con-
fident there would be no strike. He
referred to a possible way of recon
Cling any differences that might exis.
between the railroads and the train
and engine service employees"
Mr.. Willard said that since freight
reductions ordered in September, 1920.
the Baltimore & Ohio's loss in revenue
from that source was about $1,000 600
annually. He said it was estimated
that the wage reductions which went
into effect last July would mean a total
saving for the road Of between SlO.-
100000 and $12,O00O0O, but that the
rate reductions which already had been
made in the last twelve months would
