ENGLAND MAY Join
ALLY RUHR DEMAND
IF FARLEY IS HELD
Doubt as to French Consent

By Cable to The Star.

PARIS, June ga plan whereby
| England would join France. Belgium
| and Italy in demanding that Germany
| call off passive resistance in the Ruhr
in return for an agreement by Pre-
mier Poincare to a general confer
ence on reparations and interallied
| debts to include only the allies at
first, but later to admit Germany, will
be proposed to Marquis CurZon on
Monday, when he receives the French.
Belgium and Italian ambassadors in
London. This, Information comes
from official circles here tonight.
Following Premier Mussollnfs
statement of Italian policy last night,
which is interpreted as favorng ces-
sation of the German passive resist
ance. it is generally hoped and ex-
pected that England will come into
line with a declaration which in the
words tonight of the semi-oficial
Temps would re-establish allied
unity"
At the same time the condition that
Premier Poincare agree to general
conference is regarded as injecting a
new feature into the situation and the
first reaction of the French government
TO the reported British plan can only
be described as unfavorable
1t Is recognized, however, that res
toration of allied unity on the precise
basis indicated by Premier Poincare
and countersigned by Belgium would
represent great concession from Eng
land to the French point of view, even
though 1t did not imply formal ap-
proval of the Ruhr occupation. On tile
other hand, acceptance of general con-
ference. in which the whole questions
of reparatons and inter-aIlied debts
would again go into the melting pot, is
not favored by the French premier, who
would prefer that the next step after
cessation of German resistance should
be a preliminary discussion through or
dinary diplomatic channels.
Back of NJ. Poincare's attitude lies
the fear that France might be en-
tangled in position prejudicial to
her interests through another great
international parley. in which Eng
land might be enabled to play the
role of arbitrator.
In Premier Poincare's view, the
last German reparation note was in
spired as much from London as from
Berlin, and. as already stated in these
dispatches, it is regarded as unsatis-
factory here. This is on the basis
of it's merits, even aside from it's
failure to fulfill the condition of CALI
ing off the Ruhr resistance.
Nevertheless, Premier Poincare will
face the most serious criticism in
France if he attempts fatty to turn
down the British plan as it has been
outlined. In unexpected sections of
the French press, 1t may be observed
that the German note, on second
thought, is being regarded as register
ing an advance over former Reich
communications. both in general tone
and In regard to certain particulars.

the friendship Of Blossom Martin, his
sweetheart, with a married man led
him TO strangle her in the home of
the doctor, where they were both
employed, Eluigo Lozade, a Filipino
houseman, told the police today.
The married man, whose name was
not divulged. told the district attor-
ney he had known the young girl for
more than two years during which
time, he said. she had frequent quar-
rels wI.h Lozade. because she would
not give up her friendship with him.
Stirred by Jealousy.
The dapper, under-sized Filipino
was arrested in Staten Island early
today as he bore the body. wrapped
in a bundle much heavier than HIM
self, to a place of concealment in New
Jersey. In his confession to the po-
lice, Lozade said his Jealous rage had
centered on the dead girls contention
that he was financially unable to sup
port wife, and nerved him to stran-
gle her when she refused to listen to
his pleadings last night.
With detectives looking on, Lozade
re-enacted his crime in the doctors
home, and showed how he had bun
died the body, Jack knife fashion, in
two portieres and heavy paper. Then,
carrying the heavy burden In his
arms, he travelled by taxicab and fer
ry to the Elizabethport ferry on
Staten Island, where the strain be-
gan to tell, and he was forced to ask
a chauffeur to assist him.
Chauffeur Suspicious.
His suspicion aroused. the chauffeur
called a policeman. who arrested Lo-
zade just as he tried to toss his
human burden into the river. The
Filipino fought f1ercely for five min
utes before he was subdued.
Lozade was employed as a house
man by DR.. G.. b. McAuliffe, where the
Martin girl also worked as an office
attendant. She was formerly Of Troy
and was twenty-five years old. Her
friends told the police today that she
had complained several times that
Lozade haG threatened her life, once
with a revolver.
The police announced tonight they
had abandoned their first belief that
Lozade also was connected with the
murder of Ream Constance Hoxie,
seventeen. committed several years
ago. They learned that he could cor
roborate his alibi for that crime and
said they were satisfied. Lozade was
locked in Jail for the night.

forcement was up to Government

go at It honestly. Do not try to

The people Of this country are sick

They have been 'hornswaggled' more

Mayor Hylan launched a bitter at
tack on William II. Anderson, state
superintendent of the Antisaloon
League, declaring that If he land a
few others of his kind who, of course,

from contributions paid In by we'll

more contributions coming into the

and Anderson and a few more of his
ilk would not be continued longer on
the pay role. Consequently 1t may be
advantageous to allow liquor to seep
in along the Atlantic coast and the
Canadian border"
Mayor Hylan said his letter was In
reply to one he had received yester-
day from Director Garfield, which
evidently was for public consump-

burden of the enforcement of the

Director Garfield yesterday wrote
the mayor thanking him for his as

to enforce the prohibition law would
stimulate and promote other crimes.
'It Is not only matter of helping
