WALSH REGISTERS STRENUOUS PROTEST | Complains of Practice of Railroads In Having Repairs Done by Out- side Establishments. Philadelphia, April 18.—Practice of a large number of rallways, particu-/ larly the Pennsylvania, in entering in- to contracts to have their locomotive and car repair work performed in outside establishments, “has become s0 extensive as to effect seriously a general public interest”” declarea Frank P. Walsh in presenting a peti- tion in the matter at an interstate commerce commission hearing here today. Mr. Walsh appeared as counsel for the shop craft group of railroad workers at the first of a series of hearings to Investigate the construc- tion and repair of railway equipment. The practice of turning work over to cutside shops, said Mr. Walsh, men- aces “acutely the economic well be- i channel. ing of large classes of railway em- ployes, and theeatens to deprive these employes of eertain fundamental, in- dustrial rights guaranteed to them by the transportation act of 1920.” Today's hearing before Examiner F. H. Barclay, was confined te loco- motives of the Pennsylvania railroad and was instituted by the commis- sion following contentions of railroad shopmen’s unions that carriers pay excessive prices to outside shops for repair work in an attempt to destroy the unions. Labor leaders present included Wm H. Johnston, president of the Machin- iets’ Internatiopal union. BAD AUT0 WRECK One Bristol Man Believed to Be Dy- ing and Another Has Both Broken in Crash.

Legs STRIKIY: I\ NEEW LONDON. Tradesmen Nnnuc to Go to Work at New Wage Scale. New Londen, April 18.—One hun- dred of about 400 employes agected were out today in the building trades as a result of what the local trades union call a lockout and what the employers call a strike. A wage re- duction from 85 to 55 cents an hour for carpenters, masons, plumbers and painters was to go Into effect April 1. Only the painters were affected then as arbitration was attempted in the other lines. Late last week notices were sent to employes in the building trades that the reduction would go info 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- tion and stayed away from the shops. Employers say that the men refused to come to work. The 100 who are out represent the numbBer actively em- ployed in local building trades num- bering about 300 out of employment because of no work ROBBERS FLEE WITH $2.500 Shoot Down Garage Cashier Near Chicago Hotel Entrance Chicago, April 18.—While walking ! i i from the garage of the La Salle hotel | with $2,500 receipts to deposit in the | hotel Herman Robey, cashier of the! garage, was shot and robbed by men who leaped from an auto and at- tacked him within fifty feet of the hotel entrance. One of the men pushed him into the doorway and struck him over the head with a blackjack, while the other reached for the money bag. Robey is a big man. When he would not release his hold on the grip ene of the robbers shot him down. The bullet passed through Robey’s neck and throat. Jay Abrams, house detective for the La Salle hotel, declared the robbery is undoubtedly an “inside job.:* hotel offers a reward of $2,000 for the arrest and conviction of the men two | The *, HISTORIC LETTER 5 JUST LOCATED Written by Man Who Saved; Empress Eugenie The recent death fa- TLondon, April 18- of Sir mous for ’t press Eugenie at the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870, has brought to light a letter written by Sir John to S8ir Henry Pon#onby ten days after the voyage across the English The letter relates the de- tails of the escape in which Dr. was Burgoyne, the late John Mon his rescue Sm- dramatic Evans, an American dentist, instru- mental. 8ir John's yacht happened to be ly- ing in the harbor at Deauville on Sept. 6. 1870, waiting favorable weather for sailing. At 2 p. 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 a 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 Mme. l¢ 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 7 o’clock of the evening of September 8 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- nich and most skilfully carried out by Dr. Evans. CENSUS TAKEN CHEAPLY Work of Registering City’s Unem- ployed Was Done With Outlay of But Small_Amount. The expenses entailed in the work of taking the mayor’s unemployment census and compiling data in that connection will be slight, those in charge explain, the entire work hav- ing been allotted to various city em- ployes to be &one in connection with their regular Zuties. Printing bills and services of a clerk for classifica- tion will probably make up the only expense. The registering on the opening day was cared for by the registrars of voters with volunteer deputies. The interpreters on that day were also vol- unteers. Department stenographers in the City Building are typing the new lists.

ANDREWS WILL GIVE UP TO AUTHORITIES Much Married New York Broker Will Stand Trial for Alleged Offense. Hartford, April 18.—Herbert T. An- 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 extradition, ‘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 Mr. Walsh today. “That will save a lot of trouble.” But saving trouble for Attorney Walsh is not a part of Andtews’ plan, and before the case is finished a 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 ®very 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 a New York firm. Andrews will contend that the mar- riage to his stenographer, whom he took home and introduced fo 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 wedded couple did not live together as man anl wife within the state.

York, April 18.—A would-be safeblower, according to his own con- fession, met his match when he at- tempted to blow a safe in a garage at No. 434 West 55th street about 2 o'clock yesterday morning. The place had been robbed twice before, and its manager had rigged up a contrivance so that if the money drawer were opened an explosive would throw a charze of buckshot into the burglar. The attempted robbery was revealed yesterday after- noon when Joseph Schmidt, thirty, a mechanic of No. 930 Sixth avenue, came to Bellevue hospital with gun- shot wounds in the face and hand. \ New Surprise Party Held In Miss Clark’s Honor surprise party in honor of Miss Clark was held last eyening at | the home of Miss Margaret Noonan {in Belvidere, with a number of the guest's friends in attendance.
