NO HARD COAL T0 BUSINESS HOUSES Soft Coal Must Be Used Where There Is Janitor New Britain will buy no British |coal at this timé, but local people will have to use soft coal whether they like it or not, for the first three months of the winter at least, if not longer. This was the decision arriv- ed at during a meeting of the coal |dealers of the city and the city fuel commission in the office of Mayor Paonessa yesterday afternoon. Will Buy No British Coal The members of the fuel commis- slon had a long conference with a representative of the British concern before the coal dealers entered the meeting and, although the dealers were unanimous in agreeing that it would be unwise to purchase any of the foreign coal, the final decision not to do so was taken upon the rec- ommendation of the commission. Prior to the opening of the meeting, the fuel commission organized, with E. W. Christ as chairman. Soft Coal in Business Blocks. Members of the varfous city depart- ments came in and stated how much coal they would need for the winter. It was figured 2100 tons of hard coal and 1800 tons of soft coal were de- sired. It was the sense of the commission that the city departments, public buildings, churches, business blocks, theaters, etc., wherever there is jani- tor service, will have to get along without anthracite coal, probably un- til after the first of January and pos- sibly throughout the entire winter. Offered Reduced Price. Franklin Chapman of New York, representing the British concern, of- fered the coal at $1 a ton less than the original quotation received President John C. Loomis, of the Chamber of Commerce. He dropped the coal to $12.50 f. 0. b. cars at New London, rather than $13.50, the price quoted Saturday.

Mr. Chipman insisted upon a price of $9 a ton in advance and the re- mainder upon arrival in New London. At the reduced price he refused to renew his offer to take the coal if the local men did not want it, after seeing it. Local Coal Cheaper. The fuel commission decided it could save local people anywhere from $4 to $5 a ton on coal by ap- portioning it out so that there would be no hoarding and so that no one would use anthracite who could in any possible manner use soft coal. It was thought that there will be little coal used in private residences before November, and by that time there will be plenty of British ¢oal on the local markets, if that commodity proves satisfactory and if it is felt ad- visable it can be purchased then. It was announced that prices on American coal had begun to sag a little as there Was some suggestion of over-stocking in New Haven. The Hoover prices established during the strike are all off now and coal can | be purchased for almost any price at the mines. “It Pays to Buy Our Kind” ‘We will be closed on ‘Wednesday Afternoons Until further notice.

Sept. 6.—Dorsey J. Dunlap, a member of the last House of Delegates, and an admitted mem- ber of the Ku Klux Klan and a can- didate for congress in the Fifth Maryland district on a ‘“bone dry"” platform, faces charges in the traffic court of reckless driving and driving an automobile while under the influ- ence of liquor. Hearing of the case, set for yester- day afternoon before Magistrate Flynn was postponed until Friday because Dunlap and some of the witnesses falled to appear. Mr. Dunlap, says the charges are a ‘frame up.” Com- plaint was made by Deputy Automo- bile Commissioner Munford on infor- mation given by a negro. Munford said the negro reported he had his car alongside the road about 8 o'clock on the night of Aug. 15 and that Dunlap, driving at terrific speed, crashed into his car. The negro is quoted as saying Mr. Dunlap wasl Postum Cereal Co,, ° Inc. e Creek, Mich, “speechless drunk.” Dunlap asserts that he was driving to his home in Glenburnie on the night in question when his car hit one which a party of negroes who had been drinking had parked. There were no lights on the negroes’' car and it was too dark to see it. His speed was not more than seven or eight miles an hour, Mr. Dunlap in- sisted. He maintains he has received no legal summons to appear in the Traf- fic court, but merely a telephone mes- sage from Munford that “a bunch of niggers’’ were putting charges against him and that the hearing was to be this afternoon. He expressed the opinion that Munford was at the back of a frame-up on him. ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT. The annual encampment of the Hugh W.
