practically every good foilsman in

as proof that American interest in
fencing is not dead, and that il
needs only some such stimulus as
the international matches to attract
athletes and to interest the public.

HISTORIC LETTER
 IS JUST LOCATED
Written by Man Who Saved
 Empress Eugenie

London, April 1s--The recent daath of Sir John Montague Burgoyne. fla nous for his rescue of the late Elm press Eugenie at the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870, has brought to light letter written by Sir John to Sir Henry Ponsonby ten days after the dramatic voyage across the English channel. The letter relates the de- tails of the escape in which Dr. Evans. an American dentist. was instru- mental.
 Sir Johns yacht happened to be ly- ing in the harbor at Deauville on Sept. 6, 1870, waiting favorable weather for sailing. At 2 D. m. two strangers came aboard and asked for an aud fence with the owner. They appear ed to trust Sir John and confided to him that the Empress was concealed in Deauville. He agreed to convey her to safety in England and it was de- cided that Lady Burgoyne should re- main on board in order not to arouse suspicion.
 It was arranged that Her Majesty should come aboard at five minutes past midnight. Meanwhile, at 11:30 p. m., Sir John had a visit from young Russian, to whom he has only been introduced. This gentleman had brought a friend who wished to look over the yacht They were shown over the craft, although Sir John said he was convinced the men were spies.
 The visitors were conducted by Sir John personally into the town and had scarcely gone when Dr. Evans, the empress and Mime. le Breton came up and were taken on board without baggage. Empress Eugenie was said to have been greatly agitated and to have sobbed bitterly. She was cared for by Lady Burgoyne through the two days of the voyage to Ryde, England. The trip of itself was uneventful ex- cept for the fact that heavy weather and a nasty sea made travel for the empress very uncomfortable. A land- ing was made at Ryde at o'clock Of the evening of September and the empress left immediately for Hastings to join her son.
 Sir John in his letter says the es- cape was planned by Prince Metter- mich and most skilfully carried out by Dr. Evans.

ANDREWS WILL GIVE
 UP TO AUTHORITIES
Much Married New York Broker Will Stand Trial for Alleged
 OffenSe.

Hartford, April 1S.-Herbert T. Am drews, Wall street broker and alleged husband of two women, one of whom it is claimed he married in Greenwich last January, will surrender himself to the legal authorities of that town within a few days. It was expected that Andrews would resist extraditio2. but today Prosecuting Attorney James F. Walsh of Greenwich was notified by Andrews attorney that no effort would be made to resist arrest in this state.
 Andrews is going to come across of his own free will within a day or two," said MT. Walsh today. That will save lot of trouble"
 But saving trouble for Attorney Walsh is not a part of Andrews plan, and before the case is finished spir- ited legal battle based on the pe- culiar bigamy law of Connecticut, is likely to be fought.
 we expect that Andrews will put up a stiff fight at every step in this case" said the prosecuting attorney today.
 Andrews has already engaged the law firm of Slade, Slade and Slade of New, Haven to defend his interests, and besides these attorneys he is being represented by @ New York firm. f
 Andrews will contend that the mar riage to his stenographer, whom he took home and introduced to his first wife with the alleged remark that number one could remain in the house or could leave at once just as she wished, is not an offense against the Connecticut bigamy law because the welded couple did not live together as man anl wife within the state.

WALSH REGISTERS
 STRENUOUS PROTEST
Complains of Practice of Railroads In Having Repairs Done by Out
 side Establishments.

Philadelphia. April 1s.-Practice of a large number of railways, particu- larly the Pennsylvania, in entering in to contracts to have their locomotive and car repair work performed in outside establishments, "has become so extensive as to effect seriously a general public interest" declared Frank F. Walsh in presenting a peti- ton in the matter at an interstate commerce commission hearing here today.
 Mir. Walsh appeared as counsel for the shop craft group of railroad hearings to investigate the construc- ton and repair of railway equipment. The practice of turning work over to outside shops, said MT. Walsh, men, aces "acutely the economic well be- ing of large classes of railway em- ployes. and threatens to deprive these employees of certain fundamental. in dustrial rights guaranteed to them by the transportation act Of 1920"
 Todays hearing before Examiner F. H. Barclay, was confined to loco motives of the Pennsylvania railroad and was instituted by the commis- sion following contentious of railroad shopmens unions that carriers pay excessive prices to outside shops for repair work in an attempt to destroy the unions.
 Labor leaders present included Vim. H. Johnston. president of the Machin- ists' International union.

sTRIKE IN NEW LONDON.
Tradcsmen Refuse to Go to Work at
 New Wage Scale.

New Wage Scale.
 New London, April 1s.-One hun dred of about 800 employees agected were out today fin the building trades as result of what the local trades union call a lockout and what the employers call a strike. A wage re- auction from S5 to 55 cents an hour for carpenters masons. plumbers and painters was to go into effect April I. Only the painters were affected then as arbitration was attempted in the other lines. Late last week notices were sent to employees in the building trades that the reduction would go into effect today. The men who were employed steadily declare that they were told not to report for work if they were not to accept the reduc- uon and stayed away from the shops. Employers say that the men refused to come to work. The 100 who are out represent the number actively em- ployed in local building trades num- bering about 300 out of employment because of no work.

Moving As Municipal Labor Bureau
 Opens for First Time.
 So large was the crowd that gath cred in the corridors of City Hall this morning in anticipation of securing jobs as result of the opening today of the municipal employment bureau, that it was necessary to have po- liceman called to maintain order. It was estimated that 800 men and wom- en called between the hours of 6:30 and 8 o'clock. They impatiently awaited the opening of the Red Cross office, where the employment bureau is situated, but upon being informed that there was not a single job to be had many went away peeved. Others waited around the hall until Mayor O. F. Curtis came down to his office and pleaded with him to secure em- ployment for them. Several hundred other applicants called during the day on a similar mission.
 One of the early arrivals was very much under the influence of liquor. He remained in the hall for several hours, alternating songs and groans and protests against the condition of unemployment until Policeman Mich-
