The suit cases he carried were thrown to one side and over the tracks. . The locomiotive crew stopped the train within 200 yards and hurried _iback with expectations of finding a ydead man.

The death of Private Jiantonio is the second to occur in the First Con- necticut Regiment since the war was declared and it is, a strange coinci- dence that both of the soldiers who have died were New Britain men, ‘the first having been Sergeant Willlam Brown of Company E, Lieutenant Raymond R. Rand, Pri- vate Gerald Crean and Private 8. J. Lynch, Company I men recruiting in this city, when informed today of the finding of Private Jiantonio’s body stated that the place where the un- fortunate soldier'mét his death was a most dangerous one, that the river was wide at this point and the waters wild and deep. They exprestied keen n:ut at the young soldier's untimely end, w5 Captain Griswold stated that as a result of finding Private ‘Jiantonio’s body all previous records against him, reflecting upon his conduct as a soldier and charging him with deserting the colors, will be erased and his family will receive full benefits from the government such as are provided for This amounts to six months’ pay, less the funeral expenses.

"~ INTIMIDATION ALLEGED Post Office Employes Claim They Can’t Buy Coal After Arriving at Price Agreement. Employes of the post office are up in arms against what they claim is'| intimidation on the part of local coal | dealers, who, according to the best information obtaipable, have stood in the way of the employes receiving coal at a cost far less than the price asked by the local dealers for their product. g Some- time ago, a movement was fostered by the clerks and later taken up by the carriers of the local office, whereby the cost of 150 tons of coal would be pooled allowing each man between three and six tons. A com- mittee consisting of Frank S. Cadwell and Conrad Hultberg was appointed and they made a canvass of the local dealers soliciting prices.

Under the rul- ing of federal authorities, allens must have special certificates, bearing their photograph and other data, in order to secure work in local factories and be unmolested generally. The ad- vance mnotice of Deputy Smith’s ap- pointment and date of beginning his dutles is given because of the necessity of each applicant furnishing a photo- graph of himself, the original or du- Plicate of which must be affixed to all certificates issued. 7 It was admitted today by Chief of Police Willlam J. Rawlings that his department is taking steps to co-oper- ate with the federal authorities in this movement, has been making investi- gatlons along this line and will act quickly, when the time comes. Just what the investigation comprises and what will be done, has not been de- ‘termined. HONOR CHOATE IN DEATH Thousands of Mourners Throng Streets Near Edifice in Which Funeral Services Are Conducted. New York, May 17.——A host of dis- tinguished men representatives of both public and private life and of the Entente allies ds well as of Amer- ica, assembled at St. Bartholomew’s church today to honor Joseph H. Choate in death. The funeral serv- ices of the former ambassador to the court of St. James were held with thousands of mourners thronging the streets in silence when they found the edifice not large enough to enable them to enter. ‘The service was the simple one of the Episcopal church for the burial of the dead. The Right Rev. Chas. F. Brent bishop of the Philippines who preached the America Day sermon in St. Paul’s cathedral in London in the presence of the king and queen of England, read the prayer. At the per- sonal charge of King George, the Brit- ish ambassador Sir Cecil Spring-Rice was present as the special representa. tive of the crown- 3 REDMOND REJECTS PROPOSAL But Is Agreeable to Calling Conven-~ tion to Decide on Government for Ireland—Must Be Representative. London, May 17.—John Redmond, leader of the Irish nationalists in the house of commons, today rejected the lin, who agreed to supply 150 tons at $8 a ton with the prowision that a suitable chute be provided and in case that it was necessary to carry the coal, an additional 25 cents per ton would be levied. Mr. Baldwin com- menced. to carry .out his agreement and after he had delivered three tons to Messrs, Cadwell and Hultberg, it 1s said he notified the local men that he would be unable to fulfill his part of the agreement owing to a threat from an agent in New Haven, that no.more coal ‘would be given him. if he con- tinued to dispose of it at the price allotted to the post office employes. WED AT ST. MARK'S. Russell As His Bride. Second Lieutenant Rodman Wright Chamberlain of Company I, First Connecticut Infantry and Miss Con- stance Russell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac D. Russell of Grove Hill, will be married at 6 o’clock this af- ternoon at St. Mark’s Episcopal church by the Rev. Harry I. Bodley. ‘The couple will be attended by Don- ald R. Hart as best man and Miss Alice Hart as bridesmaid. The wedding service will be of a rather informal nature owing to ex- isting war conditions. Mr. Chamber- lain will wear the full dress uniform of an officer in the.United States serv- ice and a number of military men will be among the guests. TO BUILD BIG GARAGE. Mathew, J.

Mr. Redmond in a letter to Premier Lloyd George accepts on behalf of the Irish party the proposal for “as- sembling a convention of Irish men of all parties for the purpose of pro ducing a scheme of Irish self-gov- ernment” on condition that the basis on which the convention is to be called is such as insure that it is fully and fairly representative of Irishmen of all creeds, interests and parties; and secondly, tha the conven- tion ‘to be summoned without delay.” BECKETT UNDER ARREST.

Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age says: The government's needs in steel are still indefinite, and producers are pa- tiently awaiting the development af its plans. Meanwhile the uncertainty mpers consumers as well as the mills, and there is a growing belief \] that domestic users of plates will find more rather than less difficulty in supplying thfir wants. The joint Buying of war steel, cop- per and other metals by the govern: ment and its allies, predicted in this column two weeks ago, is now plainly indicated from = Washington, The more rapid dévelopment of the ship- building program is looked for at the same time in the effort to increase the country’s output of vessels con- siderably bevond the 1,000,000 tons that has been counted on for this year. \ The estimate of ' some authorities that eventually the ship plate capacity of the country will be almost entirely taken up by the government is sur- prising in view of an output last year of probably 1,750,000 tons of sheared plates over 1-4 inch in thickness, be- sides more than 1,500,000 tons of uni- versgl plates and plates under 1-4 inch’ thick. Even if 2,000,000 tons of steel vessels couuld be built in 1918 that would represent less than 1,000,- 000 tons of plates and structural shapes, of which the latter would be more than 20 per cent. \ A definite step toward starting the| fabricating shops of the country on ship wark i1s the government canvass now under way to ascertain the ex- tent of avallable capacity for steel tabrication. iy The letting of government contracts for big guns, for rifles and for shells has already put many plants in vari- ous lines at work and several large machine toal contracts have been closed, with others pending. Some round purchases of shell steel to go into government contracts are under way. ‘While derangement of mill sched- ules to .meet government wants is.not’ yet a serious factor, apart from' a Tather heavy inroad on plate mill ca- pacity in the Pittsburgh district, the raflroad situation is again worse and rolling mill congestion in western Pennsylcania is cutting down output, particularly in the heavier products. The omission of pig fron and stegl from ‘the preferential freight lists ol the railroad board of Washington, if persisted in, will-mean a further re- duction of 20 per cent in car supply at some works. S Government activity in lmiting ex- ports of tin plate has sent prices soaring, neutral buyers making offers such as $25.75 for 100,000 double boxes, and one mill has quoted $15 per base box. Efforts to get steel products for ex- port and for home consumption show that high prices are no obstacle. 'Wire rods have sold at $85, $87.50, $90 and as high as $95, and small bile lets at 6 cents per pound. Railroad buying lately held back by increasing uncertainties, is starting again. Recent rail sales of the Steel Corporation, in pare for 1919, have amounted to 60,000 tons. A Russian inquiry is for 25,000 tons of 67 1-2 pound rails for the department of the Caucasus, but Russian business under present conditions is getting scant at- tention. The New York Central is in the market for 300 locamotives and 1,000 cars and its car purchases are expected to reach 5,000. None of the steel carworks is running at more than 50 per cent. capacity, chiefly be- cause of short supply of steel. Plate prices are still without limit. On 1,000 tons of hull plates to Canada 10.40c, was paid and on tank plates 7.26¢c. is now common, with 7.50¢ and 8c. asked by some central western mills. The reported decrease in automobile buying has not yet affected mill speci- fications and shipments of bars and sheets to that trade continue heavy. The wire rope required by the gov- ernment and its allies, chiefly France, at first put at 9,000 taons, Is now esti- mated at 24,000 tons for this year. Manufacturers have arranged for its distribution, and wire manufacturers are to‘meet on Friday to apportion the requisite wire. Fabricating works took contracts in April Tepresenting 61 per cent. of capacity. On a convention hall at Clevelahd, 3,250 tons, $178 was bid for erection and fabrication and 600 days were asked for the completion of the work. . . Pig-iron markets show little feature and buying for the first half of 1918 again lags as prices asked for such delivery come closer to thase for spot iron. The government is making a survey of the ferro-manganese situation through a committee representing im- porters as well as domestic manufac- turers. Steel companies are to report stacks on hand, requirements‘in’ the remainder of ‘the year, and expected receipts under -existing dontracts. It is fortunate that domestic production is increasing, even though slightly, as indications are that Great Britain will not be able to furnish as much ferro- manganese this year as in 1918, | | FIVE ANSWER STRIKE CALL. Springfleld, May 17—Only five bt the five hundred men employed in the Boston and Albany railroad shops in West Springfield responded to the strike, roll today, according to Fred A. Butler, division master mechanic. This number, Mr. Butler said, in- cluded ounly one member of the com- mittee that conferred with him yes- terday to press the men’s demands, The strike was called to enforce de- mands for increased pay and better working conditions.

Steel attained to the new record for the year 121 1-2, su- perior steel increased its gain to five’ points and Air Brake made an /ex- treme advance of six. Prominent specialties also exceeded initial quo- tations by 1 to 2 points. Reactions, with a consequent slack- ening of operations, averaged little more thgn a point. Ralls, motors, sugars and utilities yielded ' more easily than other issues.. Strength of shippings and equipments prompted rallies, but fresh realizing set in be- fore mid-day. Bonds were {rregular, local tractions, however hardening. Trading halted in the afternoon when early offerings underwent fur- ther assimilation. Lackawanna Steel was the only conspicuous feature at an overnight gain of almost four points on free absorption. Other in- dustrials and the rails were inclined to harden. Closing.—Steels further rise to 122 5-8 stimulated the balance of the list, especially coppers and rails, in the last hour. The closing was strong.
