LONDON. Jan. 2l.--The London
branch Of the William ]. Burns Ma
tional Detective Agency, with head
quarters in New York. was searched
by Scotland Yard men a few months
ago. The Scotland Yard men went
through the records in the office, but
found nothing Of an discriminating
nature.
The manager OF the branch office.
who is an Engishman. told the au-
thorities that the office did practically
no business for the New York office,
its work being confined chiefly to Lon
don.
ut also has been learned that Nor
man r. Bailey. who was the manager
of the London office at the time Of the
outbreak of the war. resigned about a
year ago. He gave no reason for his
resignation. but went to America

Yes. the Investigation happened some
months ago. We were informed of It

When the authorities visited the London
office they pointed out to the manager.

some years in America, that the Burns
agency was the only American concern
