LONDON, July 30.-Premier Lloyd
George, in speech made this after
noon in unveiling war memorial at
Thame, said that after crisis in AL
lied relations over Upper Silesia, Great
Britain and France were again on COM
mon ground.
eve have had some difference with
France recently over the interpreta-
ton of one of the sections of the
peace treaty and we talked very plain
ly to each other" the Premier said.
"To-day 1 believe we are on the right
road to. understanding. The prelim-
mary difficulties which were causing
trouble have been eliminated"
1t is understood that the Supreme
Allied Council will meet about August
4, as planned, and the misunderstand-
ing which threatened a break a day
Or two ago can be completely cleared
away. Boulogne is again mentioned
as place of meeting instead of Paris.
1t is possible that Premier Lloyd
George will get to the conference be-
fore it closes, but will be represented
in the earlier sessions by the Marquis
Of Curzon, Foreign Secretary. 1t is
possible that Belgium also may attend,
in view of the prospect that the trials
of war criminals at Leipsic may come
up for discussion.
Will Join in Notice to Berlin
The British government apparently
is willing to join France in notifying
Germany to be prepared for the pass
age across German soil of French re-
Inducements for Silesia, but the actual
demand for their transportation will
not be made until the Supreme Council
has decided the best course to follow.
THAME, England, July 80 (By The
Associated Press). - Premier Lloyd
George in his speech to-day referred
optimistically to the trend of the dis
cussions between France and England.
1t had been arranged for the Allies to
meet in a few days to settle this vexed
question, he added, and he hoped the
settlement would be final.
The Premier continued:
Great Britain only claims that she
must have voice in the Interpretation
Of the peace she made such sacrifices
to win. She does not claim a predom-
inant voice or q determining voice.
That would be so arrogant a demand
that no self-re specting ally could pos
sibly tolerate it. We only ask for an
equal voice, and we are prepared to 20
even beyond that. We recognize fully
that the greater sacrifices of France
give her a special claim for consider
ation-that her interests are more i'm
mediate in some of these questions

Tighe Arrested
On a Charge of
Simple Assault
Detective Who Blackjacked
and Beat 40 Men, Women
and Children Is Promntlv
Freed on Bail of $500
Children's Society Acts
Asks Warrant, but Court
Issues Summons, TO Save
Policeman Humiliation

Detective Charles E. Tighe, who on
Thursday night is said to have as
saulted without cause some forty men,
women and children, many of whom
he is charged with beating, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon on a charge
Of simple assault He was also SUM-
moned on an additional charge of at
tacking and beating eight-year- old
Helen Coen.
When an agent for the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
appeared before Magistrate Simpson in
West Side Court and asked for war
rant for Tighe's arrest on charge of
child beating the magistrate refused on
the ground that such action might hurt
the detectives feelings. He compro-
missed on summons after he had been
told that the Children's Society intend
ed to press the charge to the limit.
To Avoid Euniliating Tighe
II do not wish to humiliate police
officer" the magistrate explained after
ward. az knew summons would do
just as we'll. | have known Tighe for
many years, and I know he will re-
spond to a summons as quickly as to
warrant"
Joseph F. Kenehan, agent for the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children, had several witnesses in
court to testify to Tighe's conduct in
his raid upon the former saloon of
Patrick Coen, at 600 Ninth Avenue.
/. The charge Of simple assault was
brought by Mrs. Ella Fitzgerald, whose
was torn from her shoulders and back
by the policeman. Mrs. Fitzgerald was
taken to the West Forty seventh Street
station house by detectives, who ed
vised her to make the charge which
was entered by Captain Thomas Dona-
hue.
Tighe was waiting at the station
when Mrs. Fitzpatrick arrived and he
Immediately gave $500 cash bond,
which was provided by his brother-in1,,
law, Samuel Damn. He was in cell
at no time, and left the station I'M
mediately after the charge had been
entered. He looked hale and cheerful
/ Child Exhibits Bruises
In West Side Court Helen Coen ex-
hibited bruises. Kenehan told the
court that Tighe had picked the little
girl up by the neck and threw her
across the barroom from one end to
the other and then thrust her into q
back room, where he later plled IN
more than thirty other victims of both
sexes and all ages.
The girl became hysterical and be-
gan to scream, the agent said, where
upon the mother, Mrs. Mary Coen
rushed forward and was seized by the
detective, who dragged her across the

leading trade magazines.
The list is long and would, if pub
lished, astound the city. DR.. Simon
himself is amazed at the grip that the
drug evil has gained, not only upon
the down and OUT and the criminal
classes of the city, but among persons
who lead in their various professions
and businesses
Morphine, cocaine and the others on
the iniquitous list have replaced liquor
in many cases as sources of stimulant
for persons whose work entails consid-
cradle emotional strain. Writers, musi-
clans and actors are specially recep-
tive victims to the drug habit, DR..
Simon says, because of the exhaustion
and depression that frequently follow
work in which they give largely of
their strength and emotions.
For some time past detectives of the
drug squad have been preparing q list
of persons of repute who have fallen
into the clutches of the vice. From
this list DR.. Simon has taken the name 8
Of the persons to whom he has sent
his warning. He insisted yesterday
that if they did not at once give evil

Aviator Lands Safely
On Top of Mont Blanc
Swiss Flyer Conquers Highest
Peak in Alps After Two
Earlier Failures

CHAMONIX, France, July 80 (By
The Associated Press) Mont Blanc, the
highest summit of the Alps, was con-
quered to-day by an aviator. The sue
cessful airman was Durafour, Swisa
ayer, who had previously failed in two
attempts to land on the summit. To-
day, setting out from Lausanne, he rose
to a great height and ultimately effected
a landing on the mountain peak, 1872
feet above sea level.
Taking off from the summit, Dura-
four made a favorable descent, finally
landing at Chamonix.

Gets Whisky Back Only
To Have 1t Seized Again
]. A.. Comesky Won Suit, but
New Search Warrant Nets
Four More Cases

MOUNT KISCO, N. Y, July 3o.-J. A.
Comesky recovered three cases of
whisky seized by the state police to-
day after long and expensive litigation.
Justice Morschauser, of the Supreme
Court, ordered the liquor restored to
him on the ground that the warrant
upon which it was seized was faulty.
Mr.. Comesky departed in triumph
with his three cases.
He scarcely had got home, however,
when the state troopers called again
with new search warrant. which they
assured him was perfect in every de-
tail.
They took away with them the three
cases which Mr.. Comesky had recovered d
at so great expenditure of time and
money and four more besides.

Mr.. Emmert Sanders, who makes

at all anxious to repeat an expert

The train stopped for few minutes,
a crowd of young men got off to
stretch their legs and when the
train. started all succeeded in get
ting aboard with the exception of
Mr.. Sanders who had the tough luck
TO grab hold or the hand rail just
as the outside vestibule door was
closed. Sixty miles an hour Is a
moderate gait for these fast trains
and Mr.. Sanders clung like q fly to
the outer side Of the coach as it
Whirled through space. He first en-
countered an iron fence, separating
the east from the west bound track,
which almost disrobed him and
bruised his hips. With energy born
OF despair the young man, who had
at intervals pounded on the door to
no avail. drove his fist through the
heavy glass windodw, reached his
arm through and hung there for a
few minutes breath before attempt
ing to crawl through. Happily a por-
ter came along, realized the mans
peril, called the conductor who stop
ped the train, and released Sanders
from his predicament. BY that time
he was pretty well exhausted. He
has no idea how far he Travelled in
this exciting fashion, but believes it
to have been at least four miles.
Fifty yards from where the train
stopped, was a bridge without not
enough clearance on the side Sand
ers had been clinging to protect
him from being crushed and thrown
beneath the rapidly revolving
wheels.
