TUG BURNS TO WATERS
 EDGE AT NEW LONDON
Guardsncn Total Loss and Vessel Is sunk When Bremen Are Un-
 able to Quell Flames.

New London, Dec. 31--Damage es- timated al s50.OQ0 was caused to the tug Guardsman, when flames broke out in her fire room early this morn- ing as shc was tied up at the pier Of the Merritt Chapman Scott corp, which concern oWnes her.
 The city fire department was un- able to check the blaze and in order to prevent the craft from burning to the waters edge her sea cocks were pulled and the big tug sank slowly as the fireman continued 10 play streams upon her, aided by tug Cassie which was standing by.
 The blaze broke out about { o'clock in the morning.. The cause of the fire is unknown. The Guardsinan had doCkcd at inc local wharf about two hours before the fire was discovered. Captain David Hunt and his crew Of 20 were asleep when the alarm was given. The flames quickly atc their way forward into the statcrooms oc- cupicd by the officers and men. The city fire department were unable to cope with the rapidly spreading flames and it was found necessary to sink the big tug in order to save her. Considerable damage was thus caused 10 her boilers and machinery. The Guardsman had returned last night from Edgartown. Mass. where she floa'ed the steamer Islander which had gone aground there. She is of the modern type of tugboat.

Berlin, to manage.
 Annually for the past 30 years The Herald has played host to it's news carriers. and every year it has been noted that there were more guests to supply with turkey dinner. Start ing from less than 50 guests, the list now reaches about 300 from our own city, Berlin. Kensington. Plainville, Bristol. Newington,' Elm Hill. Maple Hilf, Barnesdale. East Berlin, Beck ley. Forestville and Mountain View.
 The dinner will be at about o'clock New Years day at the New Hotel Beloin on Church street. The boys will congregate at The Herald at about 1:45 and march in a well managed line to the Delaney boys establishment and again put the theory to test that Jack Wright knows the secret of managing the de- tails of a regular feed.
 The Herald's guests will also be treated to candy and oranges to take home after the feed is over. Mr, AV- cry, the well known soda man, will give ali who attend a bottle Of his pops" and tonies. generally called "sodie" by the hundreds of little friends who are going to be all for him tomorrow.

ford who is being sought by the po- lice in connection with the crime The box of buttons was found by the po- lice in trunk in Cooks room and with it were found aluminium knuckIes which may have been used in the assault on the aged woman.
 Buttons Are Clue
 The box Of buttons has been identi- fled by neighbor of Mrs Monselrs as having been the property of the latter and usually kept on the window sill Of Mrs. MonselPs bedroom. Buttons of q particular pattern, very unusual in design, were found in the box which matched other buttons found on the floor of the kitchen in the Monsell home.

 Cook was arrested in Hartford on October 23, 1909 for highway robbery. under the name of John J. Cook and at the December term of the superior court that year was sentenced to the state prison at Wethersfield for one to three years. Prior to this crime, he had served two terms in the Hart- ford county jail for theft. He was re- leased from the state prison June IS, 1912 and then went to New York where he was next heard from by the police when he was arrested on July 2 of that year for larceny, and was sentenced to Blackwell's Island for one year.
 Served in World War
 After his release he found his way into the Canadian army and served overseas and when he was discharged returned to East Hartford. In the fall of 1922 he was employed in the East Hartford yards Of the N. Y, N. H. S H. railroad, making his home with his mother, Mrs, Anna Cook, East Hartford.

Atlanta, Ge.. Dec. 31.---In the most sensational jail delivery in the history of the Atlanta federal penitentiary four convicts, one a partner Of Gerald Chapman, million dollar mail bandit, arc at liberty after having wormed their way to fredom through a narrow fifty foot tunnel which ran under the concrete wall eneircling the prison late yesterday.
 Of the quartet, the most notorious Of the four is George Anderson, who was serving a 25-year sentence for participation in the s1.000,0OO New York mail robbery, for which Chap man was convicted.
 Three of the men were thought early today to be in hiding near Ma con, Georgia. Three suspects were seen to alight from the Royal Palm, n tourist train, as it ncarcd that city early this morning after signal tow erman here saw them swing on board the tender Of ,thc train near the peni- tentiary early last night.

 He'd Through Tunnel
 The tunnel, barely large enough to admit passage Of a human body, was found to lead from the center of small tent in the prison tubercular zones to point fifty or more feet away, and outside the big stone wall.
 The wardens and guards were at a loss to know how the prisoners con. veyed the enormous quantity of loose dirt from the tunnel to freshly graded spot 75 feet away from the tent, but thought that the passage had been in process Of excavation for per Haps two months and the dirt had been snuggled 10 ths site in buckets.
 4 small shovel and a lighted miners lamp were found by ofiicialssin the tunnel near the exit
 Entrance to the tunnel was through a trap door. which had been con structed in the wooden floor or the tent. Under the trapdOoT was a drop of eight feet through a hole three feet square. In the sides of which had been dug out small steps.
 Then the passage ran horizontally to the wall where 1t curved down un- der the foundation until the eight foot thickness Of the wall was passed. and then went straight up alongside the wall to daylight.
 The quartet are thought 10 have cs- caped between three and four o'clock. Their absence Has not discovered un- til after the five o'clock check-up.
