Of the Counts Of Champagne. On the
edge Of tree-clad precipice that COM
nands d wide sweep Of field and forest
still stands the large Tour Hautefeuille,
a relic of the castle of the Counts of
Champagne. A massive square struct-
ure of masonry, lichencd and gray with
age, it now forms one angle of the more
modern Palas de Justice, and is in
such good condition that it is hard to
realize il dates from the eleventh cen
tuly.
Below it are the cells of the court
house and around its base is a quaint
walled garden, shaded by ancient trees.
This was once the castle garden, and
from deep ravine a stairway tunnelled
from the rock leads to the old tower.
Old Church Interesting
Many Of Chaumont's houses date to
the twelfth century, but next to Tour
Hautefeuille in interest is the Church
Of st. Jean. Crowded in between
buildings or all sides, this beautiful
old cdficc shows to less advantage than
many newer churches and cathedrals
but few of them hold more Of interest
1t dates from the thirteenth, fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries and retains eX-
quisite monuments of each period.
The beautiful double porch Of the
south portal is we'll known to archi-
tccts, and its hamboyant Gothic is in

sance style of the west portal. The in

the trlforium in the transept being
embellished with an exquisite cornice
supported on corbels. The church
also holds a painting Of St. Alexis
ascribed to Andrea del Sarto. A chapel
IN the north aisle holds curious Holy
Sepuichre dating from 1850.
The pulpit and stalls are the work
of Bouchardon, father of the famous
sculptor, who was native of Chau-
mont, having been boyn here in 1898.
Has Place in History
But Chaumont's place in later his
tory probably rests on the fact that
here was signed the famous treaty OF
1914 by which the allied sovereigns
pledged themselves to reduce France to
the limits of 1889. In an ancient build
ing in the Rue Bouchardon. once a
convent, bus now the residence of d
wealthy citizen, and for the present
loaned as the official American guest
house" and officers clubs, there is &
stained glass window commemoratinp
the signing of the treaty 1t is claimed
that the historic event took place il
this building.
Chaumcnt was the birthplace an,
home of Philippe Lebon, the pionee
OF gas lighting in France. and nea
the railway station is a bronze statu
/ of him by Pcchinet. Lebon was borl
in 1867.

Deny Special Guard Is
Set to Foil Dynanniters

The New York police denied yester-
day that special guarls had been sta
toned about the homes of wealthy citi-
zens and city officials and that public
buildings were being heavily poiiced be-
cause of an alleged warning from Phil
adelphia authorities that the dyna-
miters who planted bombs outside the
homes of three prominent men there
last Monday night had fled TO this city
and similar outrages might be expected
here.
There has been no general special
policing order issued from headquar-
ters,' said Chief Inspector John Daily,
last night. "Nor have [ any knowledge
of this reported warning that the dyna-
miters who spread terrorism in Phila-
delphla are in the metropolitan dis
trict. The last we heard from the po-
lice of Philadelphia was shortly after
the outrages, when they told us they
were in the dark as to the perpetrators
of the explosions.
'It may be that the captains of
various districts in which officials and
wealthy citizens live have taken it
upon themselves. But there has been
no order issued from this office. The
city is being policed as usual"
An afternoon newspaper printed a
story yesterday that special guards had
been thrown around the homes OF
prominent jurists and Mayor Hylan
and Police Commissioner Enright. In

Samuel Gompers. who viii head the
mission Of the American Federation OF

n Tueeaay. will arrive in New York
o-day. as will his associates on the
rip. Though Nh. Gompers has said
he labor Conference, of which this mis-
ion Is 20 be part, viii be held in
Paris coacurrently with the peace con-
erence, there remains some doubt as
o where the meetings viii actually be
leld.
Took Gompers by Surprise
Chester NJ Wright's cabled an
touncement to The Tribune, on Friday,
hat the conference would be held in
lausanne, Switzerland. at the same
ime an international Socialist confer
'nce is being held, was surprise to
DR.. Gompers, who, according to his in
in--tes, has no idea of going to Swift
lrland or having anything to do with
he Socialist conferences either directly
IT otherwise.
These said. however, that Mr..
Wright, being on the ground, was prob
lbly in better position to say what
will be permitted than is Mr. Gompers
Washington.
In this connection it developed yes
lerday that it was not until ten days
igo that it became clear hat any labor
conference would be permitted in
France or England while the peace con-
'erence is on. But the English and
French governments, it is said, OBJ

Appeals for Women
Wants Feminine Delegates ON
Community Labor Boards

Samuel Gompers appealed to all cen
tral and state labor unions yesterday
TO assist in obtaining the appointment
OF women on all labor communi'-
boards
In a note addressed to the Central
Federated Union he said that in CON
nection with the activities of these
boards provision had been made for
the nomination of women workers ss
labor representatives., and in view Of
the fact that women have been induced
to take the places of men in several
lines of industry it is highly essential
that women be represented on all of
these community organizations.
If possible, he said the representa-.
tives of the women workers should he
chosen from the women who are mem.
bcrs of trade unions. This policy. bo
pointed out, viii materially help in
preventing the exploitation of those
who have not the protection of The
trade union.

sIsAL STOCKS ARE LARGE.

SlSAL STOCkS<AKE LANIE.
Sisal is made into binder Irvine and
is used in harvesting crops. 1t is
raised mostly in Yucatan. Mexico.
High prices during the war resulted
in excessive production. Sisal is one
of the few things that is lower in
price than when the war ended. An
auction recently held resulted in Can
adam banks buying $4,000 bales at
twenty dollars a bale. This is prob
ably the largest single transaction ev-
er made in the hemp market. 1t IS
understood that the effect OF current
events in Yucatan has been to throw
the market open, planters selling as
they pleased instead of continuing
the former monopolized control which
stabilized prices.
