"SING SING RULED By
DRUG RING"-CIANCY.
Elk arc Says Politicians Make
$25,ODO q Year.

$SO,UUU u AClf.
James M. Clancy, warden of Sing
Sing prison until a few weeks ago.
charged yesterday that the convicts
actually control the prison because of
their influence with a political ring
which makes possible the smuggling
OF drugs, whiskey, Ind c~ontraband
supplies.
If there is e a real investigation
OF Sing Sing there will be a scandal
hat will shock the State" said AIR.
Clancy. Members of a political ring
which supplies the prisoners with
drugs and whiskey are making $685.
900 a year out of the graft.
"A few days before I left Sing
Sing, / appeared at the prison house
about 100 o'clock in the morning I'M
expectedly. There were several keep
ers in the yard, and when 1 asked
them h they were doing they told
me they were watching a motor boat
which was landing at the prison pier
withou showing n lights.
Il kept my eye on the boa for fiji
teen minute and then ran to the pier
with several keepers. BY that time
the crew of the boat landed several
packages. When they say me COM
ing they hauled out into the stream
SO hastily that they left the packages
on the dock. / found several cases
of whiskey containing half pint bot
ties for easy distribution among the
prisoners and a large quantity of CO.
caine. heroin. morphine and opium.
1T has been impossible to prevent
the smuggling Of whiskey and drugs
and impossible to establish proper
discipline OIL corrective measures OF
the influence Of the ring. Until there
is an investigation and the members
of the ring are disclosed there can be
no real reform in Sing Sing. While
I was in charge I found several places
fixed up as opium dens. and there
was never a time that the prisoners
did not have a supply of drugs.
LAS things stand there is very little
hope for the first-term prisoners, the
young man who goes up to Sing Sing
i for the first time and who might bt
reformed under proper conditions
n He is almost sure to leave the prison

of the vice to be found there. sins

Who really invented the airbrake:
Certainly the automatic airbrake. the
one that has proved practicable and Of
permanent value In modern railroad

Westinghouse ingenuity. His patent
for the automatic brake was taken out
In 1872, supeneding the nonautomatic

patented In 1869. and later the West
inghouse vacuum brake was invented.
But, as In the case of most other In
