The investigation which is being
conducted by the Department of Jus
tice, the North Bergen police and the
the West Shore Railroad into the
bombing of passenger train Sunday
evening resulted last night in the ar
rest of Harold Grassneld, of 797 Mon
roe Avenue, North Bergen. He is
charged with unlawfully possessing
dynamite. He was a. laborer in the
North Bergen shops 81 the West Shore
for two months before the walk-out of
the repair forces, and since then has
been on picket duty regularly.
Grassfeld's friendship for Special
Officer Bardol, who was sworn in for
strike duty six weeks ago, led to his
arrest, for Bardol felt that friendship
had it's limits after he had listened to
some of the laborer's stories. Ac-
cording to sworn afidavits signed by
Bardol, Grassfieid had three sticks Of
dynamite in his pocket on July 81 and
told him that they were to be used
in blowing up the West Shore coal
sheds.
Later, the affidavit goes on, Grass
field declared that aome thirty or forty
strikers and other friends of hia went
with him to watch the bomb explosion,
which, the prisoner is alleged to have
said, was staged by some six or seven
men. The cars mada of northward

BEACON. N. Y, Aug. f6.--Charles j.
Lucy. q .patrolman, was shot and
killed to-day by an insane man who
Tor hours withstood arrest, although
beseiged by the entire police and Are
department and crowd Of 1000
citizens.
Wellington White, thirty years old
who had been regarded for many years
as harmless although slightly dement,
ed. died in hospital tonight from
bullet wounds inflicted by the police.
He became violent this morning and
his mother, who is said by the police
to be deEsented also, appealed for out
side aid.
For the last week White Iabored
after midnight in the cellar of his
home digging grave and preparing a
headstone for his mother, whom, it Is
alleged. lie planned to bury alive.
The mother, the authorities say, has
been assisting him in his gruesome
task by holding lamp to light the

partly clad this week, his unusual
nightly labors were shrouded with such
unusual cunning that no one had any
suspicion of what was taking place
in the house until his capture today.
Lucy and another policeman were
sent to the home to-day to take the
naadman in custody. Lucy opened the
front door and White fired point blank
with shot gun, killing the policeman
instantly He tried to shoot again but
the cartridge failed to discharge.
Reinforcements arrived and found
Whites home fortified against attack.
The Fire Department then was called,
and two companies powred thousands
of gallons of water into the house.
The insane man moved restlessly about
from room to room, peering hastily out
of windows and then darting back
again.
Policemen were stationed behind
trees and adjoining houses, each with
rifle or revolver trained on window
Some were lying prone in the street to
be partially out of danger should the
MANIAC open fire. 1t was with great
difficulty that the police were able to
keep back the big throng attracted to
the scene.
Finally White remained at one win
dow o second too long Several shots
were fired and he fell, fatally wound
ed. Policemen forced open the front
door and found the man crawling
along the floor of a bedroom. He was
trying to get under the bed, they say,
and was crying childishfy.
White was carried from the house
TO an automobile and taken to a local
hospital. Cries of "Kill him, kill the
murderer came from the crowd. The
police had to clear path with their
clubs in order to save the madman
from being hanged on the spot.
In the house were six large guns,
two revolvers, meat cleaver and sew
eral boxes containing more than 1000
rounds of ammunition.

Rupture Surprises premiers

From The Tribunc's European Bureau
LONDON, Aug. 15.-Both Premiers
Lloyd George and Poincare appeared
somewhat surprised that the long
threatened conflict between the Eng
lish and French policies in reparations
had at last come out in the open when
they separated after the failure of
their conference. AS Poincare de-
parted for Paris Lloyd George went to
Wales for holiday.
British press comment indicates that
for the time being nobody expects a
French invasion of the Ruhr or an at
tempt to impose sanctions on the part
Of France alone. Officials remaining in
London express hope that the Repara-
tion Commission will now be left free
to deal with the affair, but from French
sources it was learned there is little
basis for this hope. 1t is emphasized
that in case of tie in the commission
President Dubois has the, deciding vote.
Liberal organs, such as "The West
Minister Gazette" voice the view that
the last conference merely served to
show up the fundamental impossibility
Of maintaining an entente in name
only. Tho Northcliffe press and "The
Morning Post" continue to urge re-
affirmation of the entente as the cor
nerstone Of British policy, while the
coalition journals are inclined to stand
pat on the principle of the British
position as outlined by Lloyd George
during the conference. In British Of
fetal circles it was said to-day that
there had been no attempt to slate an
other conference, agreeing for once
with "The Evening News" which says:
mo revival Of the conference can ever
again be considered"

Haynes's Latest Ford
On Home Breu Sought

From TIE Trfbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.--Re-
minding him that the season OF
home brewing of beverages for
winter use is reaching it's height,
Representative John Philip Hill,
Republican, of Maryland, ap-
pealed to-day to Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes, on behalf of
the American housewives to
state the amount Of alcohol per-
mitted by his Office in horne brews.
Mr.. Hill criticized the Commits
sloner for the wabbly position he
has taken on this question and
pointed out that Mr.. Haynes's
retraction on July of bis pre-
vious statement that his Office
would not take action against the
makers Of cider or other fruit
juices containing not more than
2.75 per cent alcohol now leaves
housewives entirely at sea.

Cure Day. Draws Thousands
vi Cripples to City's Beaches

An old belief that on August is Of
each year salt water is beneficial to
those suffering from bodily ailments
sent thousands to the beaches yester-
day.
They focked to Coney Island and
other parts of the metropolitan dis
trict, There were men, women and
children, who were sightIess, and who
waded gingerly into the water, guided
by their loved ones. Cripples walked
into the sea on their crutches and let
the waves play over them. Persons
with all manner of infrmities got into
the surf, their spirits rising as the
ocean gave to them its best.
There were no miracles performed
at Coney island yesterday The salt
sea on s'Cure Day" 10 supposed TO be
benefcent rather than miraculous, and
comforting to those who sincerely seek
by this means relief from their ills.
So great was the congestion at the
bathing places chat lighthouses were
at premium. 1t is estimated that

but tens of thousands, it is believed;
went there for that reason. Those
who could not swim ventured out to
a depth of foot or two and sat down.
In connection with the feast of
the Assumption devotional services
were held during the afternoon
at the Church of Our Lady of
Solace, West Seventeenth Street and
Mermaid Avenue. The Rev. Father
Walter Kerwin officiated at these
services, which were well attended.
Perhaps the most pitiable. sight on
the beach was that Of crippled children
with eager eyes full Of faith that their
physical suffering would be ended, or
at least moderated, by the refreshing
salt sea bath.

Measures With Teeth; !;

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Congres
will be called upon for legal weapons s
to arm the government for war against
coal profiteers, it was announced to-day
by high Administration officials. Legis-
lation will be required, it was declared,
to assure price control and equitable
distribution of fuel, even in the event
of settlement Of the whole national
coal controversy.
Coal operators. Secretary Hoover
stated, were breaking away from the
voluntary fair price agreements, except
in some districts in Virginia and West
Virginia, and Congress, he declared
must act to check advancing charges
and at the same time authorize the con-
tinuance of the Federal distribution ma
chinery now functioning by volunteer
services. which would not continue in
definitely.
Need Curb for Six Months
Suspension of work in the coal fields,
now in the twentieth week, has so
lowered coal stocks, Mr.. Hoover said,
that not even immediate and reasona-
bly, full production will remove the
necessity Of some measure of regu-
lation during the next six monthe when
the country makes its greatest drain
on coal supplies.
Mr.. Hoover indicated that about q
weeks study Of the situation and the
effect of the Cleveland agreement on
production would be required before
the necessary legislation could be
framed. Attorney General Daugherty
declared that several plans were already
under consideration to combat coal
profiteefs and that careful study would
be given TO the proposed legislation.
Continuance Of the Federal distri-
button machinery would be necessary,
Mr.. Hoover asserted, to meet the an
thracite situation and provide for the
requirements of the northwest section
before winter sets in. AS soon as an
thracite was available, he declared, dis
tribution of hard coal would be super
vised by the Federal organization along
the lines now in practice for the move
ment Of bituminous.
Ask End of Bidding
Price control by means of preferen-
tial ALLEGATION of coal cars was only
possible, according to Federal Fuel
Distributor Spencer, in districts where
there was less than 100 per cent car
supply. Where there were plenty. of
cars, he asserted, operators could OBJ
tain transportation at whatever
prices they might charge for coal ae-
spite the Federal emergency organi-
tion.
Competitive bidding by railroads and
public utilities for fuel, according to
reports to the central committee, has
disturbed the agreed price levels and
the carriers were asked to-day by Mr..
Spencer to make no offers for coal at
prices above the Hoover scale.

Paris Sees End Of

Public and Press Firm

After London Failure
BY Wilbur Forrest
Bp wireless to The Nlbune

Copyright, 1s22 New Yoefs TsiSune Inc.
PARIS, Aug. 15,---An extraordinary
convocation Of the Chamber of Depu-
ties to ratify the governments strong
hand policy of enforcing the payment
Of German reparations is the general
forecast in French official circles after
the return tonight of Premier Poin-
care from London. Actually everything
is in suspense until the meeting of the
full Cabinet at Rambouillet tomorrow.
August 20 is the earliest date on which
the Parliament may be reconvened, on
account of constitutional formalities.
y Publicnopinion since the breakdown
of the London conference favors giving
the government free hand, and the
ministers will not need to consider
internal politics in any decision,
whether it is simply refusal to abide
by the Reparation Commissions plan
to grant moratorium to Germany, or
one to take isolated action. With this
understanding the ministers may be
expected to draft vigorous policy
maintaining the right to make it more
vigorous, according to the exigencies
of the situation.
Say Poincare Did Utmost
Both official and public. opinion here
are convinced that Poincare strove his
utmost In London to reach an equitable
solution, even to the extent of abandon
ing certain parts of the French pro-
gram, but it is believed that Lloyd
George was willing to risk broken
Entente rather than impose any real
mortgage on Germany.
AS the word "entente'' Is interpreted
here it means understanding" and
Frenchmen feel that since the Anglo
French understanding has utterly
failed in London the Entente has virtu-
ally ceased to exist. Further compro-
misses by the French in an effort to con-
form to British opinion may henceforth
not be looked for, the Tribune CORE
spondcnt understands, and the French
now may be expected to take the mat
ter in their own hands.
Coercive measures toward Germany
are now inNorder, and methods of ap-
plying them will without doubt take
up the largest part of the time of the
Cabinet meeting at Rambouillet. 1t is
understood that the Reparation Com
mission will hold its reply TO the Ger
man demand for moratorium until
the governments attitude is defined
#. the reply is in the affirmative and
France is voted down the Tribune cor
respondent is officially informed that
the French will invoke the right to
disregard the ruling.
The French stand is based on the
contention that the present schedule
of payments was drawn by virtue Of
unanimous decision of the commission
in May, 1921, and cannot be altered by
a majority vote. Although precedent
antedated the majority contention, it
is stated here that France lis not
bound to recognize precedents and is
justified in maintaining the right to
refuse.
