pr7ssrAN GOVERNMENT AFRAID TO PUNISH TCHAIKOVsKY ON ACCOUNT OF WIDESPREAD PROTESTS FROM ABROAD.
fsnacia1 from United Press.e

Especial from United Press.9
 St. Petersburg, March 10.-It is de- cIaredS with authority today that the real reason for the, acquitta1 of Nlch- olas Tchaikovsky. the Russian patriot. was that the government, after consid- ering all of the protests from abroad decided it would be unwise to punish him at this time. The declarations, made by British and American organl- zatioI1s that the trial in secret Of TchaikovSky and Mime. 4BreShkovSfSy was part of a plot to put both of them out Of the way, was investigated by trusted agents of the Interior Depart rneflt. They reported that the sent1- ment was genuine. that there was a feeling that both the United States and Engiand might be compelled to address notes to the Russian government pro testing against summary Judgment , in Tchaikovskyss case.
 To avoid this the Interior Depart ment ordered the acquitta1 of the pa triot as the lesser of the two evils. So sure were the members of Tchai- kovsky's family that he was to be mourning outfits ready to don as soon as the verdict was announced. Tch9i- kovsky stated today that he expected, should he not flee the country, that he would again be prosecuted on a sini- lar charge. He has not decided where he W i'll go but will probably go first to England and later to the United States.
 Several of the states witnesses are to be prosecuted, it is alleged. A mum Der of them are already said to have been sentenced by the court.
 It is not believed that Mime. Fresh kovslxy can survive the journey to Si- beria and her friends today declare more humane had it pronounced. a death sentence. zs

A large, and musica1ly representative audience heard the lecture on Epochs in piano music. by w. J. Henderson, musical critic of the New York Sun. yesterday. afternoon. in the ball room cribed the development of the piano from a humble beginning as a mere keyboard, upon which the organists practiced their fingers to it's present state.
 He said that the singers originally sang in such way that the same phrase was repeated. consecutively by the soprano, contralfo, tenor and bass singers, and that the organ rendered fugue was dey eloped, a piece in which the same theme was many times re- f Bach developed tfse fugue to it's ut most. Beethoven, and Schubert later i developed the fugue into the sonata, into which the former introduced two ccntrasted themes and the latter any number They developed a system of lingering and left virtually com pleted system.
 Then, said the lecturer Chopin ar rived, overthrowing much that had been had been done before his time. Incidentally he Frevo1utionized the methods of lingering, writing music . that could not be played at all by the earlier method.
 Little improvement in the compost tion of music for the piano has been made since Chopin's day
 Music illustrative of the various epochs described by Mr. Henderson, was skil1fu1ly played by his assistants as the lecture progressed.

LANE lNvENIS MECHANISM TO
 GET TREASURE
LlOyds Hope by Means Furnished by Bridgeport Engineer to Recover Mil. lions Pounds in Gold Bullion, Suak a Hundred Years.

A real story of sunken treasure is that in which Captain Simon Lake of this city has now become a character. On Oct. g. 1799, the British warship, Lutine, with a million pounds sterling in gold bullion aboard, went down off the Island of Terschell5ng at the en- trance to the Quidersee. The cargo was insured by the Lloyds. who paid more than million pounds insurance. England was then at war with France and Holland. Holland claimed the in 1923 after Dutch divers had tried without much success to recover the gold, the Dutch government ceded the Lutine to England. Ishe English gov ernment turned the ship over to the Lloyds, who have since recovered about g. tenth of the bullion. The shifting sands of the bottom made further work with existing methods impossible, and Lake was called upon work.
 He has invented a diving bell which is swung at the end of tube. from the steamers hull. Divers can step out of this bell and return aga Il without causing an thrush of water, because the bell is to be kept con- stantly charged with air at a high pressure. and the air will repel the water. The divers will explore the placing of 4the suction ends of great centrifugal pumps, which will lift out 40, 900 tons of sand each 24 hours. It is believed that by these methods the balance of the treasure may be recOv- cred in a brief time.
