? WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.- Authoriza
j tion by Congress for the government
I to purchase all alcoholic liquors now in
j bonded warehouses as a means of aid?
ing prohibition enforcement officers to
cuib the illicit salo of whisky will be
demanded bj dry workers all over the
country.
Definite steps toward this action it
is understood are being formulated by
? ,-.? :. aders of the Anti-Saloon
League of America.
"I cannot say that any definite steps
have been taken in the matter of the
government's purchase of liquor in
bond," Albert E, Shoemaker, of the
Anti-Saloon League o_ tho District of
Columbia, said to-day. "But I do know
that the question lias been and is be?
ing discussed by the league. The ex?
ecutive committee of the league would
hav - power to act in the matter and it,
J presume, would take the initiative in
asking Congress to pass the necessary
measures."
Wayne B. Wheeler, attorney for the
Anti-Sal?on League of America, was
absent from Washington, and those in
his office could not say if the demand
on Congress had been prepared. At the
office of John !?'. Kramer, commissioner
of prohibition, it was said that no
knowledge of such a move on the part
of the "drys" had been reported.

Cleveland Crowd Gives
Manager and Players j
Ovation After Victory I
By W. O. McGeehan
CLEVELAND, Oet, 11.?The Cleve?
land Indians, pennant winners of the
American League, are the world cham?
pions.
They won their fifth game from the
"Brooklyn National League team by 3 to
0 to-day, making the world's series of
1920 five games to two. When big Ed
Konetchy, the Brooklyn first baseman,
batted the last ball of the series, forc?
ing out Wheat, the jubilant Cleveland
ers poured into the field to manhandle
affectionately their own champions.
Cleveland has been awaiting this day
since 1879, the year when this city first
acquired a big league team. 7t is a j
home city for the home team, first, last
and always, and this was its great day.
The dark shadow that has been hang?
ing over all professional baseball since
the series of 1919 did net affect them
here.
Speaker Greets His Mother
When the crowd first swirled into the
field to surround Speaker the manager :
of I lie world's champions hroko away,
from them, ile dashed over to a field
box where there sat a thin little old j
lady. The little old lady rose smiling
and reached out her arms to the hero
of the hour. It was Speaker's mother,
who had come all the way from Iluh
bard, Texas, to be present at her son's
triumph. The little old lady's arms j
went around the big player's neck and ?
he kissed her heartily. Then he slipped
back into the field and was surrounded |
by his admirers again.
Speaker was carried toward tho I
entrance to the dressing room and I
jammed there by the surging of the |
Cleveland fans. He '.vas lifted to broad |
shoulders an?! p.-" sed back and forth.)
Smith, Coveleskie, Cardner and the!
i thers were patted by adoring but vig- j
orous hand?. The prematurely gray '
manager of the Indians finally fought
his way from the clutches of his
friends and forced his way to where
Uncle Wilbert Robinson, of the Dodg?
ers, was shufflins toward the dressing
room.
Uncle Hobby Greets Speaker
The broad smile of Uncle Robby was
gone and he looked a little serious, but
when he saw Speaker coming toward
him the game old veteran of ma|y
baseball contests smiled again and
reached for Speaker's hand with his
pudgy fist.
"It was coming to you, Tris," he
said. The crowd pressed around them
both and there were many volleys of
cheering as the managers went into
the dressing rooms.
This is the second time that Wilbert
Robinson, with a team that gave the
experts the horrors, won a National
League pennant but failed in the fight
for a world's championship.
"There are no alibis,'1 he said. "They
couldn't make any runs, and it takes
runs to win ball games."
Marquard Barred from Baseball
Uncle Wilbert had planned to start
Richard de Marquis Marquard, the
"Rube" of a long and more or less
checkered baseball career, but the
pitcher was read out of hasehall this
morning by John A. Heydler, presi?
dent of the National League. Mar?
quard had been caught trying to scalp
world's series tickets and John Heyd?
ler, after being convinced that the
"Rube" had caught tho spirit of the
age and had taken to profiteering, de?
clared that he could play no more
baseball,
The decision was arrived at with
considerable precipitation when one
considers that it took the National
League several years to get rid of Hal
('liase. The news was sent to Uncle
Robby that. Marquard was banished
and the banishment was to take effect
immediately.
Grimes vs. Coveleskie
That left Burleigh Grimes to do the
pitching, with Coveleskie, the spitting
Pole, who had twice smothered the

Sinn Fein Sees War in
Lloyd George's Speech
LONDON, Oct. 12.-?Leaders of
the Sinn F?in movement in Ire- !
land regard the speech made at
Carnarvon, Wales, on Saturday !
by Premier Lloyd George as ?1
most a "declaration of war on
Ireland," says the Dublin cor?
respondent of The Times.
There are many signs, the cor?
respondent continues, that the
executive department in that city
intends to bring matters to a
head as quickly as possible by a
concentrated campaign against
disorder, which by inflicting gen?
eral hardships on the country
may make crime and lawlessness
"truly unpopular."

Kennedy, Theatrical Man ;
Dead Thug Js Identified
Crowds in the vicinity of West
Thirty-ninth Street wem thrown into
a panic last night when sutldenly
their laughter was interrupted by the
crack of revolver shots and the. peculiar j
noise of whizzing bullets. Almost in a
minute's time the crowded inter- j
locking corners at Broadway were de- :
serted as hundreds fled in terror into'
nearby stores and doorways.
From a darkened doorway, almost
across the street from the Maxine
Elliott Theater, came a shot and :.
second later a bullet of .-15 caliber
pierced the silk hat of ?lohn Kenney, |
treasurer of the playhouse.
Shot Breaks Show Window
Another shot and the plat.e glass
window of a store near by fell with a
crash to the pavement. Then a
muffled scream and then silence.
On the run came. Patrolman Moore,
of Traffic Precinct B. police on nearby
posts followed, blowing their whistles
as they ran.
Ir. the hallway at 10H West Thirty
ninth Street they found the body of a
youth. Death had come from a bullet
in his brain.
As Patrolman Moore bent over the
prostrate form he saw a man running
swiftly toward Seventh Avenue, tiring
a revolver at another man, who also
was running. Giving chase, he caught
the man with the revolver, while at
: Eighth Avenue and Thirty-ninth
; Street a second policeman caught the
fleeing stranger.
At Police Headquarters, where the
two prisoners were taken and where
the deud man's body was borne, the
man with the revolver said he was
? William Stern, a diamond broker of 212
1 West 111th Street. The second man
? said he was Pasquale Mille, thirty-two
years old, having no occupation and
living at Farmingdale, L. I.
No Identification on Body
Xo papers nor marks of identifica
j tion were found on tl|$: dead man, and
I his finger prints were taken and hur
i ried to the identification bureau.
1 Twenty minutes later the police said
he was Paul Boittano, thirty-four year.-.
old, of 137 West Sixty-seventh Street.
They added that he was one of three
desperadoes who in i914 held up and
robbed the East l^iver Savings Bank,
and for which he was sentenced to a
: term of four years in Sing Sin?; prison.
They added that of late Boittano
had made a comfortable living by pick?
ing pockets and holding up women in
the Times Square section of the city.
Stern produced a permit to carry
; a gun issued to him, he said, by a
judge in Nassau County. He told de?
tectives that he had been the victim
? of a hold-up while passing through
: Thirty-ninth Street, and had recog
' nized his assailants as members of the
? Hudson Dusters* gang of thugs.
"1 was walking toward Broadway,"
he said, "when three or four men sud?
denly grabbed me and pulled me into
a doorway. One of them covered me

Policeman Kills Crazed Man
In Battle at Edge of High Roof
On the roof of a tive-story building
?at 989 Sixth Avenue -yesterday after?
noon Patrolman Martin Matthew Gill,
: of the West Forty-seventh Street sta?
tion, and an insane Santo Domingo
; negro engaged in a death struggle that
; lasted nearly a half hour.
Occupants of the Great Northern Ho
i tel and other buildings nearby watched
' the desperate fight as one would fol
I low the lurid action in an exciting
I melodrama. They saw the policeman
grapple with his adversary; they saw
i Gill throw his man; they saw the negro
! grab the officer's revolver and heard
; the report of the pistol as the madman
; tired, hut Gill didn't surrender. The
bullet had grazed the officer, but Gill
fought on. With the negro still in
possession of the gun, Gill graspec
his arm and held the weapon away
from him. With his free hand he pum
nieled the prisoner. Both men sprawled
on the roof and the policeman fought
to regain bis revolver.
Gill had been overseas with the old
69th; he was twice decorated for
' bravery on the battlefield, but no ad
'? venture in France equalled this one.
Prisoner and policeman moved closer
I to the edge of the roof as they battled
'? furiously. Astonished spectators in
I adjoining buildings looked on, but were
j too amazed to act.
Over the edge of the roof went Gill.
| The negro, still sprawling, looked down
; at him. Gill's right band was holding
j the weapon, still clutched by the negro,
With his left hand he clung to the
j coping.
Then, as If ushered In by Provi
' dence, James McQueeney, of 102 West
Fifty-second Street, formerly f. sailor
in the navy, arrived on the roof. He
had seen the struggle from below. He
struck the negro with a club, dazing
him, then dragged (?ill to safety.
Shot Twice, Attempts Flight
The policeman seized his revolver
and warded off another blow from the
madman, who had risen to resume the
fight. Both men attempted to check
', the ferocious attack of the negro, but ?
it was of no avail. Gill took no more j
chances. He fired. The bullet hit the j
I prisoner in the chest, but the madman I
1 fought on. Gill fired again. This
| bullet lodged in the prisoner's stomach.
In spite of his wounds the negro ran.
He attempted to jump fo the roof of
the adjoining house and failed. Before
j the startled gaze of his pursuers, he
j fell headlong to the ground. He was
dead when (?ill reached him.
The death struggle on the roof was
the culmination of an action that had
begun on one of the floors below. An
excited woman had asked Gill to arrest
the negro, asserting that he had in?
sulted her. Gill found his man inside,
but when he attempted to arrest him
the negro had fled up the stairway.
Officer Hurled Downstairs
The office?- followed. At the head of
j the stairway the men wrestled and Gill
I was hurled down the steps. He re
j sumed the chase and followed the man
! to the roof.
The dead man was identified as Rafael
I Cotin. He is said to have been a dish?
washer in n restaurant at Fifty-eighth
Street and Sixth Avenue. He had come
to Xew York from Santo Domingo two
weeks ago, the police learned. Medical
Examiner Charles Xorris said he was
convinced that Cotin was Insane.

by the arrest of Sadler, who was later
released on bonds.
After Sadler's arrest he is said to
have proceeded to New York and given'

surrounded the appearance over the city
yesterday of the great dirigible R-32
during the celebration attending the i
arrival in London of the Prince of
Wales. The. presence of this air
leviathan was not a part of the official

to-day explains the matter thus:
"The R-32 is being used as a train?
ing ship for the American crew which
will take the dirigible R-38 across the
Atlantic to America. The Yankees
were determined to see the Prince, !
and. in order to take no chances, they
journeyed in the airship all the way :
from Howden, in Yorkshire. Inci?
dentally, the R-32 was one of the
features of the celebration, as she was
a magnificent si>ectacle with her silver i
sides glistening in the sunshine."

Preliminary Peace Terms

Asserted at Ceremonies
RIGA, Oct. 12 (By The Associated;
Press).?A preliminary peace treaty j
and armistice was signed by the Polish :
and Russian Soviet peace delegates
here at 7:10 o'clock to-night.
The armistice actually becomes ef?
fective at midnight October 18. That
is 144 hours from midnight to-night.
The announcement that peace was to
be signed brought great crowds to the
square surrounding the Black Head
House. M. Joffe and the Bolshevik
delegation' entered the hall first ano
were followed by M, Domski and the]
Polish delegation. About two hundred
persons, including the entire diplo?
matic body and prominent Lettish of?
ficials, crowded the small room, many'
! of them standing.
Considerable delay ensued, which '
' was due to the physical work necessary ?
for the completion of the treaties for
signature. Tired by more than five days
and nights of almost constant work, M.
JofFe looked extremely pale, but his
voice showed no nervousness when he
announced without rising that the
treaty had been completed, and began
reading the Russian text.
After M. Joffe had finished reading
the Russian text M. Dombski read the
Polish text, and M. Manuilski followed
with the reuding of the document in
Ukrainian.
When M. Manuilski began, a smile
passed around the hall, as the delay
in the signing had been ascribed
to the preparation of the Ukrainian
text. There has been much joking at
Riga on the subject of whether there
really is a Ukrainian language, no
dictionary or grammar having existed
until the Germans published them after
discovering the necessity of establish?
ing the Ukrainian as a separate nation
to upset the Boisheviki.
M. Joffe then opened the embossed
copies of the treaty and armistice which
lay on the table before him and signed
them. The other delegates followed
him.
Peace of Give and Take
The head of the Soviet delegation de?
scribed the Riga peace as a peace with?
out victor and without vanquished, m
a brief address before the signature of'
the treaty. That describes the Riga
agreement accurately, as it appeared to
disinterested onlookers. It was a peace
of give and take, which those who have
followed the course of events fear will
not be very popular either with the ?
Boisheviki or the Poles.
But it is undoubtedly a triumph for!
the two chairmen who made it, and |
the spirit of conciliation with which j
they handled the explosive questions |
that disrupted the Minsk conference is I
likely to win for them the gratitude
of a war-exhausted world.
The Riga armistice will put the Boi?
sheviki at peace with all their Baltic
neighbors and leave the Wrangel move?
ment as the only great military opera- ;
tion against the Soviets.
M. Joffe called attention to the many ,
difficulties encountered, in arranging
the armistice, and also to the harmon?
ious manner in which the delegations
carried out the negotiations. He ex- j
pressed the belief that the foundation ;
has been laid for a permanent peace,
as both nations are absolutely tired
of war and unwilling to assume re?
sponsibility for continuing the strife.

Condition of King Bitten
13y Monkey Is Serious
Vitality of Alexander of (?reece
His Only Hope; Cabinet
May Assume Rule
ATHENS, "Greece, Oct. 12 (By The
'? Associated Press).?Only the strong
constitution of King Alexander of
Greece is relied upon by his physicians
[ to bring him through tie crisis of his
: illness resulting from the bite of a
monkey a short time ago. It was
admitted at the palace to-day .that the
King had entered into the critical
phase of his illness.
The government, alarmed at the
serious turn in the King's condition,
to-day discussed the question of a
regency and decided that the Council
of Ministers would take up the task
of administering the country in the
i event of the King's condition becom?
ing worse.
Yesterday it was said at the palace
that there had been little change in
the condition of Alexander over that
of Sunday. His physicians at that
time refrained from giving any con?
cise statement, although there was no
attempt to conceal the fact that the
illness of the monarch was ??rave.
To-day's statement, made at 1 o'clock
this afternoon, was the first intimation
I that the physicians in attendance were
j relying only on the strong constitu?
tion of King Alexander, who is but
! twenty-seven years old, to save him.

LONDON, Oct. 12.?An attempted
military raid in Drumoondra, a suburb :
of Dublin, to-day was resisted by
"orce and three deaths resulted in
ihn .sharp revolver battle which fol?
lowed between men hiding in the
house and the military party outride.
Major George Smyth, former dis?
trict inspector, whose brother was
murdered in Cork last August, was '
leading the raid. He was shot dead
as the military approached the house,
?and another officer was so severely
v/ounded by bullets that he died later.
One civilian was killed and another,
.Professor Carolan, whose house was
the scene of the affray, was severely
wounded by a bayonet thrust in the.
neck. j
Sinn Feiners in Hiding
Some mystery surrounds the entire ?
affair, but apparently two Sinn Feiners ;
wanted by the military were hiding in!
Professor Carolan's house. The mili?
tary party, in search for them, forced
an entrance to the house and went up
stairs.
Professor' Carolan, attempting to I
prevent the entrance of the soldiers,
was stabbed in the neck with r bay- ;
onet. Immediately the Sinn Feiners1
within the house opened lire on the
troops.
A general m?l?e is said to have fol- !
lowed, soldiers outside the house join
ing in the shooting. Many windows
were broken and the doors were pierced
with bullets.
A brief official statement on the af
fair merely reports the death of two
officers and one civilian.
Early to-day a body of police was
ambushed by Sinn Feiners near Stoke
stow who opened fire upon them with a ?
Hotehkiss gun, killing three con?
stables outright and seriously wound?
ing two others.

Train Service May He Suspended
Owing to the attacks which have !
been made recently on the railwaymen
of County Cork, train service in the
south may be suspended entirely.
George Nicholson, an Englishman,
publisher of the paper Industrial
Truth, has informed the police that he
received a death notice from Sinn j

had published.
BELFAST. Oct. 12 (By The Associ?
ated Press).- The killing of Major
Smyth at Drumoondra has caused a
sensation here. A renewal of the dis- !
orders in Ulster, such as followed the ;
assassination of his brother last .sum?
mer, is feared. Major Smyth had been
decorated with the Distinguished Serv?
ice order and the Military Cross.
The Rev. 0. W. Mehan, senior Cath- I
olic curate of Castlebar parish, County1
Mayo, was arrested this morning in
the presbytery of his church for al
leged connection with extensive raids
in that district.

boycott and large withdrawals from
the banks.

Lloyd George, It Is Said,
Proposes Deal With
Germany on Advice of
International Bankers
Rift in Entente
Feared in London
Ostensibly Based on Repa?
rations Question. Is Be?
lieved Due to Financiers
By Arthur S. Draper
From The Trifrui??'? European B_ -
Copyright, 13-0. New York Tr
LONDON, Oct. 12.-?Out of a
series of diplomatic exchanges be?
tween the British and French foreign
offices and the conference, which
Premier Delacroix of Belgium had
yesterday with Lloyd George, may
come the most important interna?
tional developments since the war.
The French say that the Entente
Cordiale has seen its la.st days, and
that Lloyd George will make an alli?
ance with Germany on the advidb of
a group of international bankers.
The break between the British an?!
French is ostensibly over differences
on the question of German reparations,
but is understood to be due really to
the acceptance by the British Premier
of the views of these bankers, who see
greater possibilities in closer rel&tions
with Germany than with France.
King Seeks Councilor's Advice
The situation has reached the point
where, the Tribune correspondent is in?
formed, the King has sought the opin?
ion of some of his councilors. He is
particularly interested in the Kv.^-v:
Cordials which war, formed by his
fpther. Viscount Grey, who as Minis?
ter of State for Foreign Affairs in 1914.
had much to do with strengthening the
Entente, also has given his view, or,
recent developments to the King.
From French sources I learn that
President Millerand of ?'rrnce and
Premier Lloyd G'eor?_:e have drifted
apart and that there is little possibil?
ity that they can reach an agreement
in policy toward Germany and Russia.
The presence of Delacroix in London
is explained by the statement that it
was hoped he might bring the Anglo
French leaders together on the matter
of reparations, but he ?b reported to
have had little suc.ess up to the pres?
ent. Belgian sentiment at the moment
seems to favor "ranee rvther than
Great Britain.
Early Pact With Berlin Seen
The French think that Lloyd Georg?
will reach a settlement on the reparu
tions question before the United Statei
settles definitely the question of th=!
indorsement or rejection of the Treaty
of Versailles. In fact the French be?
lieve that the British Premier ma..'
make an agreement with Germany thi*
year.
German officials here who air cog?
nizant of these developments in the in?
ternational situation naturally are high
ly pleased, as they see in them a reduc?
tion in the amount of reparations which
Germany must pay arid the strengthen?
ing of their country's trade.
Although it may still exist in name,
it is no exaggeration to say that the
war entente is gone.
Britain Honors Delacroix
LONDON, Oct. 12 (By The Associ?
ated Press). ?The Belgian Premier, M.
Delacroix, is in London on the occasion
of the fifth anniversary of the ex?
ecution by the Germans of Edith
Cavell, the nurse, and the unveiling
on the Thames Embankment by Prin?
cess Clementine of a memorial erected
by the Belgians in gratitude for
British hospitality to Belgian refugees
during the war.
M. Delacroix was honored by a gov?
ernment dinner to-night, at which
Premier Lloyd George announced that
the King had commended him to hand
the Belgian Premier the Grand Cross
of the Order of the Bath.
