POLICE CONNING TOWER.
TRAFALGAR SQUARE FEATURE. BY TABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION--COPYRIGHT Received 2 p.m. to-day. LONDON, Jan. 26. The police have added a remarkable piece of furniture to Trafalgar Square in the shape of a granite conning lower of massive proportions and impregnable to attack. From the tower an inspector can listen to speeches, at strike time and in other emergencies, and be in direct communication with Scotland Yard in order to summon extra police if required. A powerful arc light is able to illuminate the whole of the Square at night.
