Confess Killing Dentist in Fight That Followed Trio's Attempt to Rob Him. The murder of Dr. Jacob Gross in his dental office at 29 Columbus Manhattan, two years ago, was believed solved today with announcement by police that a young Brooklyn man had confessed to the crime.

The alleged murderer, Hyman Hlrsch, 25, wa3 arrested last night near his home at 2837 28th st. on a "tip" recently received by Detectives McHale, "Wilson and ReiUy of the Narcotics Squad. Three Involved In Crime. Following a night of questioning, Hirsch, according to Inspector John Sullivan, broke down and admitted that he fired the shot that killed the dentist when he struggled and foiled an attempted Three men were involved In the murder, according to Kirsch's story. The trio had picked Dr.

Gross' name at random from the telephone book and decided to rob him. They entered his office, one pretending to have a toothache. While the dentist was examining the "patient," according to the confession, Hirsch drew his revolver. A strugge followed, in which he shot the dentist and the trio fled without taking anything, Hirs.ch told police. He Insisted that he could not identify his two confederates.

He said he had Just "picked them up" and did not know them. Police Given Tip. The- source of the "tip" that led the narcotics cops to Hirsch could not be learned. It was believed likely that the confessed slayer, shaking and hollow cheeked, had talked too much and possibly violated some underworld code that led to his being "turned in." Police are investigating his record. Before the confession today the Gross murder had rested In the po lice archives tti a mystery with but little hope of solution.

His body was found slumped over his chair, a bullet through the heart, on Oct. 29, 1927. A crumpled towel and a cap were the only clues. The circumstances and what the police could learn Indicated that the crlraa tulght be one of vengeance. Drugs Found In The Gross murder.

In fact, bore many of the earmarks of a celebrated case. Six years after working his way through dental school he was reputed to be worth $100,000 at the time of his death. His bank book revealed deposits sometimes running Into $2,000 a week. He lived well, for an obscure dentist, and there were several romances in his life. Also, of sinister significance, cocaine, a drug not used by dentists, was found in his office.

Detectives for a long time sought the "woman in the case." They circulated, too, in the dope-peddling underworld, but both fields proved barren of clues. The possibility that Gross was clain in a holdup in which he was picked for the victim at random appeared, in view of all the circumstances, too remote for consideration. And so, after a while, the "book" In the case was closed. DETECTIVES SEEK HOLDUP PAIR AS STORE LOSES $169 Two well-dressed youths of about t5, who escaped with $169 after holding up the manager and clerk In the Thomas Roulston chain store at 799 4th ave. last night, are being sought today by detectives of the 4th ave.

MacDonald and Hoover Agreed on Other Points.

Washington, Sept. 13 Secretary Stimson announced today that Great Britain and the United States were now prepared for a naval conference. Negotiations between Ambassador Dawes and Prime Minister Mac-Donald hav reached ihe point, ha said, where a conference can ba called. Narrowed to Cruisers. It can deal with any matters, ha added, which have not yet been settled In the direct conversations.

The discussions, he continued, now center around a 'ew thousand tons of ships in a single class, meaning cruisers. It is probable, he added, that even this point will become a discussion of the way In which these ships shall be constructed or the guns with which they carry will ba manned. Knglr nnrRn.

Washington, Sept. 13 The prospective visit, of Prime Minister MacDonald to Washington the first week in October threw the whole cruiser situation today Into an atmosphere of Intense optimism, despite the fact that in otnein! quarters there remains an attitude feautlous reserve. The United States and Great Britain are not in as close agreement on the cruiser issue as was at first hoped for as a prerequisite for the Prime Minister's visit. However, the advantages of a direct conference between President Hoover and Mr. MacDonald are so overpowering that something is being left tn chance.

It Is the expectation of the White House that between now and Sept. 28, when the Prime Minister sails, the differences between the two governments can be narrowed down still further. Cruiser Issue Not Solved. Such Information as percclatcs through the veil of discretion which surrounds the present ne-otiatlons Indicates that the Issue has now! narrowed down to three cruisers. The United States has not accepted the British suggestion that this Govemmen- have 18 cruisers to Britain's 15.

at the same time secure in the conviction that the United States would come off with fighting superiority In this class of ship. President Hoover and his advisers have been willing to make certain shifts, adjustments and accommodations which appear to have met with an enthusiastlo response in London. To indicate that the basic cruiser issue has been solved at this time would be far from the fact. The two Governments were, nevertheless, confronted with the prospect of an unfavorable public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic if the Prime Minister's visit were abandoned. Mr.

MacDonald was most anxious ti announce definite proeress to Parliament when It reconvenes on Oct. 28. Mr. Hoover, on his part, wanted to satisfy American public opinion which has been aroused to a hleh pitch of expectancy. The figure of 21 cruisers for the United States was beln mentioned today as a possible basis of compromise, although without authoritative information to baclc Tlease Turn to Pae 2.

The arrest followed a liquor raid on the place by city detectives and deputy sheriffs, resulting from a complaint from an unnamed source. Three automatic shotguns, two! double-barreled shotguns and 500 shotgun shells were seized. An automobile which officers say the men had been using was held at a local garage and search was being made for uie man in whose name city and State licenses were issued.

No definite reason for holding the car was given by the police other than to say that they believed "the guns were being transported" in it.

After the arrests the following was given out in the dame of Hugo Oehler, Southern organizer for the National Textile Workers Union: "The raiding party led by Police Chief Aderholt were the legal shock troops of the committee of 100 of the Loray Mill who intended to disarm the workers guarding the head quarters of the union and the Loray gang was to follow and destroy the headauarters and UaWialony. There would have followed a massacre of the union organizers and active members. "The present plan seems to be similar to this.

Geneva, Sept. 13 UP) Great Britain and France today took a Joint step to bring about a world conference on lowering tariff barriers. This move was made in the spirit developed by comments of European statesmen while dlsTussing last week Premier Briand's project for a "United States of Europe." The delegations of the two nations recommended in the economic committee of the League of Nations that negotiations be begun between members of the League and non-members as well to promote a meeting at the earliest possible date. The purpose of the meeting would be to frame "the first collective agreement for diminishing hindrances to trade and developing and facilitating economic relations by all practical means." Would Keep Duties Down.

The resolution of England and France also called on the States of the world not to increase their protective tariffs above the present level for a period of two years or impose new protective duties or to create new impediments to trade during this period. Pending the convening of the world conference on economic questions, the other nations were thus requested to hold down their tariffs. Opens Door to V. S. It is proposed to hold a conference not only of technical experts but of political representatives of governments.

M. Loucheur of France presented the proposal and was strongly supported by Dr. Hugh Dalton, meniDei 01 the British Labor Government. In the words of the French spokesman the conference might lead the nations eventually to the signing of a convention giving a new basis for the circulation of goods not only In Europe but throughout the world. Dalton Is particularly interested in reorganization of the coal Indus try, whose present state he described as "a supreme example of economic anarchy." The attempt to avoid discrimina tion seems to have been made by tne invitation extended to non- member States of the League as well as member States.

This would permit both the United States and Russia to take part in the confer ence. Chinese Demand Acted On. The threatened situation in League circles created by the Chinese dele gation seemed pacifically settled when the Program Committee voted to refer to the routine course of business the resolution presented by Dr. C. C.

Wu, aiming at the revision of "inapplicable treaties" as provided by the inactive Article XIX of the League Covenant. The Chinese resolution will go to the Committee on Constitutional and Juridical Questions, whose recommendations will be before the Assembly. The African Republic of Liberia, which was largely established by American ex-slaves, proposed that a commission should conduct inquiry into the question whethtf slavery now exists in Liberia. The Libei ian delegate, Dr. A.

Sop-pile, said Llbeila would welcome an Inquiry by a commission composed of one member selected by the United States, one named by the league of Nations and the third named by Liberia. The American Government, he said, had declared Its willingness to participate. Sop-plle said that slavery did not exist in Liberia. Rally Helped by 7 Per-cent Money Shares Sagged 2 to 15 Points.

Metz, prominently mentioned as a candidate for the Republican fusion nomination for Mayor prior to the unofficial city convention, today refused the nomination for Controller on the Square Deal ticket and announced his wholehearted support of Controller Berry. In his first discussion of the present Mayoralty campaign Mctz told The Eagle he is "a good Democrat" and Intimated that Mayor Walker and Aldermanic President Joseph V. Mc-. Kee would be as enthusiastically supported by him as Controller Berry. Knrlght Mrtz.

The Eagle had learned that former Police Commissioner Klchard Enright, standard bearer of the Square Deal party, was anxious to get Metz, a former Controller, on his ticket. Metr confirmed this but added that he had all offers of nominations and would not dabble in polities this year. The inference drawn from the fact that Metz had changed his label from an Independent Democrat to "a good Democrat" was that he would vote the straight Democratic ticket. His refusal of the Enrlrrht plea was a serious setback to the Square Deal organization. Refuses Several Offers.

"Several offers were made to me while I was In Eroue," said Metz, who returned from abroad this week on the Bremen. "I have turned them all down. I think Charlie Berry has been a darn good Controller and he has my stinpnrt. I'm not going to mix In this year." "Will you also support Walker and M'-Kee?" he was asked. "I am a good Democrat and vou ran draw your Inference from that," he replied.

Continuing, he said: "Knrlght a good friend of mine, but I can't do anything for him politically. Furthermore, I resent the personal element that has been Inledcd Into this cnmpalcn.

"It's my guess that New York City Is going to nave a very good Mayor," he concluded, "and remember I'm a good Demorrat."

A four-year-old swindle, in which hundreds of domestics in the service of wealthy families at Narra-gansett Pier, fashionable summer resort, were relieved of $150,000, came to light today when Frederick W. Bell, 50-year-old former stock broker and bathing pavilion proprietor, was brought back to the city.

Bell, almost penniless, according to the police, was arrested a few days ago la Monroe, and brought here this morning by Detective William Sullivan of the District Attorney's office. He was lodged in the Tombs pending at-ralgnment in General Sessions Men-day on four grand larceny Indictments. Bell was found In a poor quarter of Monroe, where he had apparently been living since his disappearance in Angus, 1925. He was finally traced through the indorsement on a four-year-old check for $3. Bell ran the bathing pavilion at Narragansett Pier for a number of years, but lt was not until 1925 that he used the opportunities afforded him to prey on his host of acquaintances, police said.

He is alleged to have told the domestics tales of wonderful profits to be made in the stork market, obtained their savings and for a time paid Interest to his "investors." Emma Rlitrll.

JACOB GROSS EVE'S HELPED Brooklyn Financier Backs Huge Circus Combine.

Realty Firm Not Linked. In addition to real estate, horse shows, Prudence bonds, street railways and transcontinental railroads, William M. Greve, Brooklyn financier, president of the Realty Associates of 152 Rfmsen has now become interested in five big circuses, it was learned today. Mr. Greve has long been a friend of John Rlngling, who woke up early this week to find himself owner of the six largest circuses in the country.

Some of the money which went to buy five of those big shows came from Mr. Greve, out ne insisted it was his own venture and not that of the Realty Associates. How deeply Mr. Greve is inter ested in the new business is not public property. He contented him- seu witn saying ne naa long Deen a friend of Mr.

Ringling and that whatever association he had witn the circus king was personal. New Arena Not Planned. "Of course there may be a change later on, but right now the Realty Associates have no money in the circuses," Mr. Greve said. Then Mr.

Greve was asked if the Rlngling purchase of the big -circuses meant that a new arena was to be built in New York, since Ring-ling had definitely refused to open next season with his Rlngling Brothers Barnum-Bailey Show, the biggest on earth, in Madison Sauare Garden. This question Mr. Greve wouldn't answer. Prom other sources, which are au thoritative, it was learned that no new arena will be built. Just what the Ringling plans are for the com ing season are still vague In the ab sence of the owner of the shows.

They give the Ringling Greve combination, however, an almost strangle-hold on the circus business of the country since the smaller shows not now controlled by the new combine have only limited territory and do almost no business in the bigger cities. The shows purchased were the American Circus Corporation group, made up of Sells-Floto-Hagenback Animal Show, the John Robinson, sparks and Al O.

Barnes shows.
