For the last few years coal for Sing
Sing prison has been purchased from
the Pttsburg- Shawmut Coal Com
pany. and 1t was the custom OF War
den William II. Meyer to send the
checks in payment to the company's
main Office at Kittann:ng. Pa. But War
den Meyer received a letter December
20, written on the coal company's sta
tonery. and. as he thought. signed by
the president of the company, direct
ing that all checks be made out to
W. +. Bonstein and sent TO wv. T..
Bonstein, 81 Park row, New York
city"
Warden Meyer Immediately wrote a
letter to the coal company, acknowledg-
ing receipt OF the letter and stating that
the Checks would be sent as instructed.
From December 26 to February "a the
warden mailed four checks. aggregating
$500, TO Bonsten at the Park Row
address. But Warden Meyer had a
telegram April from the coal COM
pany asking why no payment for coal
had been made since early in December
Warden Meyer Immediately replied that
he had mailed the four checks as he had
been instructed to do by the company =
letter of December 20.
The warden was summoned TO New
York yesterday morning by Charles +.
Rattigan. state Superintendent OF
Prisons. and instructed TO bring with
him all the data and correspondence re =
lating to the incident. But when the
warden went TO get the companys let
ter of December 20 he found that IL
was gone from the Ale. When he reached
New York he found that officials of the
company dsclaimed any knowledge OF
the letter instructing him to mail checks
TO Bonstein. ard that the wardens let
ter acknowledging receipt OF what he
had supposed to be communication
from the company had never been re-
ceived. He also learned that the coal
company had written TO him March 81
asking why payment had not been made
for coal. and this letter was never re-
ceived by the warden at Sing Sing. The
warden and Supt. Rattlgan went to 81
Park Row, where they found Bonstein' $
name In the building directory, but
were unable to find Bonstcin himself
The warden and the superintendent
believe that the deal was engineered
from inside Sing Sing prison and that
the letters were taken from the warden's
files and held up as they came into the
prison through the mails by some one
who had access to the warden's office

Advance viii Bring Total
Wages to $4,000, 900, 900.

WASHINGTON. April lo.-Another big
increase in wages to railroad men is
about to be made which will bring the
annual pay roll of the railroads up to
$4,000. 900. 600. it is reported on excellent
authority. The advance, although not
officially announced Is understood to be
approximately $65.000,0Oo
The expected raise in pay will bring
the total increase in railroad wages
during the past three years up to Sl,260,-
900 and for the past four years more
than a billion and third, which means
that the additional revenues of the rail
roads from freight and passenger rates
have been more than eaten mp by pay
increases. The roads were allowed to
increase their revenues through higher
rates in 1916 apd 1917 through action
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
by sl00000.O00 a year. Increases in
rates ordered by the Government last
year added $1,000 900. 900 in railroad
revenue. making a total addition Of sl,-
100, 1000. 900 against wage increases en-
ceeding that amount by s16O,0O0, 900
Not only has the pay roll assembled TO
that figure but materials consumed by
the roads have materially increa sed.
The coal bill OF the roads is now s47O.-
900, 900 annually, an increase of $780,
100000 steel. which cost the roads
formerly but 100000 900 a year, now
costs s450. 900 900. and the roads esti-
mate that $500, 00O, 900 in materials costs
has been added TO the cost of producing

The average increase in wages since

that a general strike was one of the

Nevertheless stragetic points are still

ST. JOINS, y. +. April 10-The
Sopwith biplane made it's first test
this afternoon preparatory 10 the
transatlantic dash. The machine
ascended to a height of 5000 feet, and
covered a distance of sixty-five miles
in forty-two minutes, attaining speed
IN excess Of 100 miles an hour on the
homeward stretch.
The biplane was equipped practically
the same az II will be when the transat-
lantic flight is undertaken and the test
proved in every respect satisfactory.
Wireless communication was maintained
with Mount Pearl all through the flight.
but the Cape Race wireless station could
not get in touch with the plane.
Lieut.. Harry Hawker, the pilot, and
Lieutenant Commander Mackenzie
Grieve, the navigator, express entire sat
isfaction with the result OF the test.
Their intention TO make a flight was not
known except to a small circle. and the
first intimatlon the public had was when
the machine was seen ascending.
Weather permitting tomorrow after
noon likely will see another test, which
will be witnessed by Gov. Harris and
prominent members of Parliament and
Government officials. The date OF the
transatlantic dash is not known, but
private intimation this evening indicates
an early start. should tomorrow
test prove as successful as to-days 1t is
not improbable tho attempt will be mr. de
Immediately. Meteorological forecasts
this evening show forty-eight hours IA

winds prevailing. Such conditions are
most suitable for the undertaking.
The steamship Sachem is due here to-
morrow forenoon. on board OF which
