TICKET AGENT GETS
81 CONSCIENCE Cash

"You know nothing about this but
some time ago cheated you out OF
about two dollars and am sending it
to you herewith" 49,.
The above unsigned letter, post
marked Newark, O., containing a two
dollar bill was received at the Pennsyl
vania ticket office this morning and II
is mystifying the agent there.
- He declared that he knew absolute
". nothing about the matter and can
not recall any time when anyone
cheated him.
The letter judging from the hand
writing, evidently was sent by a WON
an who became conscience stricken
after thinking she had, cheated the
agent and returned the amount.
This Is the first time that such an
occurrence ever happened at the
station and there is much amusement
over the incident.

The American Locomotive Company
big war order is being negotiated
through j. P. Morgan & Co. While the
contract has not yet been formally
signed. il was learned on good author
ity that this now depends only on the
completion of minor details. The COM
pany first considered an order for am
munition which called for the eXpendi-
ture of S100.000.000, but the manage
ment decided that it would not be wise
10 tie up its plants with a contract of
this size. in case there should be an
improvement in the locomotive indus
try.
So the original bids were cut down to
between $65,000000 and S10,OOO,OOO.
Monthly deliveries will be called for
running over a period of years, and 1t
is understood the American Locomotive
Company will be well protected should
the war end sooner than Is expected.
The company was one OF the unsuc-
cessful bidders for the SSO,OO0,OOO
shrapnel order recently awarded the
Canadian Car and Foundry Company
by the Russian government, through j:
p. Morgan & Co. Russia has deposited
$40. 600. 900 with J. T. Morgan & Co., the
National City Bank and the Bank OF
MOntrcdl III part pay HltuI VI 'HV va,
material required. President Nathaniel
Curry said yesterday the order will
consist of 100000 shrapnel and sim
liar quantity Of other explosive shells.
Forty American and Canadian concerns
will participate in the manufacture Of
the ammunition. Half of the order for
the explosive shells will go to the
Westinghouse Air Brake Company, the
New York Air Brake Company and
others.
The United States Steel Corporation
will supply S2,Oo0,000 worth of steel
and iron forgings and the American
Car and Foundry Company will furnish
81 100000 worth Of material required
b. the shrapnel contract.
Transactions on the Stock Exchange
yesterday marked :he fourth successive
session in which sales have exceeded
one million shares. TIL, daily average
for this week is the highest since the
last week Of September, 1911. If the
volume Of trading continues at the
present rate, the daily average for this
month will exceed that Of April, 1901,
the highest on record.

WORKMEN'S BILL
FACES HARD TIME
New Secured Debt Tax Measure
Drawn by Mr.. Morgenthau
Offered in Senate.
from stan Correspondent Of The Tfibunel


Albany, April 16.-The Spring Dill
consolidating the "orkmen's ComPen-
sation Commission and the Labor De-
partment, is going to have nara time
getting into the statute books. lts
nassage is practically assured in the
Senate, but Speaker Sweet declared to-
dav that until the Assembly was con-
yinced it was good bill 1t would not
be passed there. "And we haven't been n
convinced yet that it is good DILL
he added.
A new secured debt tax bill was in
trodnced in the Senate to-day, proyd-
ing for an annual tax of two mills on
bonds. The measure was drafted by
Henry Morgenthau, jr. The Mills bill
nrovides seven and half mills tax,
with a five-year exemption.
Governor Whitman wants q commits
sion appointed to take up the whole
scheme of indirect taxation. He has
asked Mr.. Morgenthau to serve on the
commission, and il is understood he
will do so.
The Mills bill was amended in the
Senate to-day so that the proposed tax
NAV be paid until November l, instead
of October /. IL was pointed out by
Mr.. Morgenthau that if the measure
had remained unamended it would have
nuliied the provisions, as they will
affect New York City, because tax day
i'm New York is October l.
Bills to appropriate s10,228,0Oo were
passed by the Assembly to-day. or
this amount 100000 is for interest
and annual contributions 70 the vari-
Gus state sinking funds. The balance
is for local improvements.
The bill to reorganize the Conserva-
ton Commission was signed by Gov
ernor Whitman to-day. The Governor
said probably he would send the nomi-
nation of George D. Pratt, Of New
York. as head of the reorganized COM
mission 10 the Senate on Monday.

Of veracity still exists. Mr.. Gregory is
still standing on his statement that

"The machines we are purchasing
from the Burgess company represent
a type in advance Of any we now pos

is considered desirable in the light of
developments due to the war in Eu-

"A machine must have speed of
eighty miles an hour and the ability
TO climb with full load $500 feet IN
twenty minutes. Thus it was not CON

BRUERE MAKES APOLOGY
Regrets Criticism of Martin,
but Latter Is Not Satisfied.

City Chamberlain Bruere has sent an
apology to James j. Martin, former
Chamberlain, who some time ago dis
played agitation over remarks of Mr..
Bruere in regard to the way in which
the Office had been previously run.
Mr.. Martin, commenting on r.
Bruere's apology, simply said:
The letter is good 30 far as it goes.
He does not retract his statement that
former Chamberlains permitted the
banks 70 fix the rate they should pay
the city on deposits"
The statement of Mr.. Bruere was
made in a speech last May. Later he
declared he had performed his duties
and earned his salary, which was more
than his predecessors had done.

COMMERCE BOARD
DROPS PHONE QUIZ
Decides Results Would Not
Justify Heavy Expenses of
Investigation.

Washington, April 10 Stating that
a continuance OF the investigation
would cost great deal of money,
with no apparent results that would
justify that expenditure, the Inter
state Commerce Commission announced
to-day that it had abandoned the in
vestigation of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company begun in Janu-
airy, 1913, just after discontinuance of
the governments antitrust suit against
the company.
The Department of Justice reopcned
the antitrust proceedings later, and
on December 10, 1913. effected an
agreement with the company which was
believed to give considerable relief to
parties making complaints.
