London’s Great Dungeons
Thown Open to Public
•LONDON, May 14.—(/P)— Four ad
ditional towers of the famous Tow
er of London have been opened lor
the first time for the convenience of
the thousands of sightseers from all
parts of the world who visit this
historic place weekly. The great
oaken doors of these towers, known
as the Byward, Salt, Martin and
Broad Arrow were found to be in a
wonderful state of preservation, and
the great dungeons where enemy
spies were lodged during the last
war are now open to public inspec
tion for the first time in history.
It was near the Martin Tower that
some of the spies were shot, among
them Carl Hans Lody, a German,
who, posing as an American, was
captured in the summer of 1914, and
who was the first person to be exe
cuted in these precincts for nearly
100 years.
In past centuries hundreds of trai
tors and prisoners of state vrere
confined in the towers, and many
of them whiled away the weary days
by carving pictures and inscriptions
on the walls and these are still visi
ble today.
Byward Tower, being the main en
trance to the inner ward, must have
its gates carefully locked every night
and the chief warder, in his scarlet
coat and flat hat, with an escort
from the military guard, himself per
forms that duty.
As far as is known positively the
Tower of London, which today cov
ers 12 acres, dates from the time of
William the Conqueror, who began
the White tower somewhere about
1078, and completed it about 20
years afterward. At first it was a
palace, but later was used as a pris
on.
Tourist Travel Headed
Toward American Shores
GOTHENBURG, May 13.—(/?>)—
More Swedish tourists for the Unit
ed States and an increasing number
of emigrants for Canada is the ef
fect of the American immigration
law on Swedish westward travel, as
it pours through this gateway to the
Atlantic.
While the normal Swedish overflow
population is about 20,000 a year, the
number admitted *as immigrants in
the United States is limited for 1925
to 9,561. In Canada the young far
mers of the north continue to be
welcome, and the Canadian govern
mental authorities have promised
cooperation, in their distribution.
At the sa!me time there are many
Swedes who wish to visit the United
States as tourists, and to meet this
demand Swedish travel interests now
plan to organize regular conducted
tours through the eastern and middle
western states, with all expenses
covered in one lump sum.
As there is no restriction on the
lumber of round trip tourists, this
:lass of travelers is expected to fill
ip the space usually reserved for
^migrants.

Channel War Wrecks Play
Havoc With Fishing Fleel
BRIXHAM, Eng., May 14.—(Jp)—
The severe losses to trawling geai
which the fishermen of this port have
suffered through fouling war wreck*
in the English Channel threaten tc
sadly deplete the fishing fleet. Ir
some cases sets of gear valued at him
dreds of pounds have been destroyed
At a meeting organized by the Brix
ham Council it was decided to suggest
to the government the creation of a
compensation scheme out of the Ger
man reparations payments, on the
basis that the fund should bear 5C
per cent of the losses and the smack
owner should run a personal risk of 4(
per cent and contribute a 10 per cent
premium for insurance benefits.
Reuben King, a smack owner, stated
that one owner in two years lost five
sets of trawling gear, and additional
losses amounted to the equivalent of
two more sets — seven sets in all.
Within a distance of 20 miles from
shoi e there were so many war wrecks
that it was not safe to use fishing
gear, he said.
James Blackmore, president of the
Smack-Owners’ Society, declared that
the losses for 12 months amounted tc
$27,000 and even then some 40 or 50
owners did not account for their loss
es.
