Fuel Administrator Urges Conservation by Use of Soft Coal Wherever Pos- sible. With the thermometer hovering between 40 and 50, a faint suggestion of frost on the roofs and lawns, empty furnaces staring into the faces of still emptier coal hins, New Brit- afh people awoke this morning, turned over in bed and realized with a start that the coal situation is a serious problem and not a mere idle dream, Magical Coal Dealer. Members of the fuel commission, local coal dealers and others who are in touch with the situation have been stating right along that people did not realize the seriousness of the coal sit- uation. People read in the news- papers, according to local dealers, that there is no anthracite coal on hand, then go placidly on, serene in their confidence that when they need coal, the coal dealer will roll up his sleeves, berrow a hat from, ‘‘some gentleman in the audience,”” wave a magic wand in the air, say ‘Presto Change,” and the coal will appear. Almost 40,000,000 Tons Short. And in the meantime there is no coal. Although coal shipments from the anthracite mines started the day the mines resumed operations, the year will end, it is predicted with a shortage of 40,000,000 tons under a normal production 35.000 Tons Short Here. According to all indications New Britain will be in the neighborhood of 35,000 tons of anthracite coal short between this date and the first of January 1923. These figures are based on a fairly accurate estimate of the normal demand for hard coal in the city, and the amount of that commodity now being shipped. ‘Would Burm 50,000 Tons Here In ordinary times, New Britain would burn from the middle of Sep- tember until the end of the year at least 60,000 tons of anthracite cgal. There is no anthracite coal to speak of in the city now, or at least there was none until the arrival of three carloads this morning. These three cars, carrylng approximatley 150 tons are felt to be what New Britain's average daily shipment will amount to from now on until the close of 1922, Average May Be 3 Cars Daily While there may be days when more than this amount will come in, the difficulties of winter shipping in New England, as well as the car shortage due to the railroad strike, are expected to so seriously cripple shipping as the weather becomes colder that the daily average is not expected to go much higher than the three cars. Cold Winter Ahead. There are 86 days, not holidays, between this date and uary 1. Figuring at the rate of 150 tons per day, this would 'leave the city short approximately 30,000 tons. Allowing for an extra 3,000 tons over the daily three car shipment, would still leave New DBritain 35,000 tons short of the required amount, counting Jan- “We will get through this year with | a very tight squeak,” eaid Chairman E. W. Christ, of the fuel commission yesterday. Desperate Situation. It is because of this situation that the fuel commission has ordered all business blocks, public bulldings, apartment houses, schools, churches, city departments, etc., to burn noth- ing but soft coal until the first of January and has notified private pur- chasers that only 1 ton will be al- lowed for every five ton burned last year and nothing over 3 tons to any one person. That the situation prove very much until the coming winter and the opening of mild weather again next spring, is felt by those who are in touch with the situation. There will be a short- age this year, over the average out- put at the mines, of between 30,000- 000 and 40,000,000 tons. If the min- ers can be prevailed upon to work six days every week and forego the many holidays for which that region is noted. this shortage may be cut down slightly. The following instructions on burn- ing of soft coal in furnaces is pub- lished by request of Chairman Christ of the fuel commission, and local peo- ple are requested by Mr. Christ to cut them out and paste them up in gome convenient spot near the furn- ace:— Open all drafts, lay in your kindling (requires less kindling than anthra- cite.) Put in a layer of coal, about the game amount as you do with anthra- cite coal. Light the fire and let it get well caught, after which add a little more coal.

Abraham Gorbach, state central committeeman from this city, will de- cline to serve in that capacity in the future, should Mayor Angelo M. Pao- nessa be nominated for any place on the state democratic ticket, in the convention which opens tomorrow night at Hartford. Such was his de- claration this morning, and in coming out at this time, it is sensed by politi- cal observers that the breach in the democratic party is a wide one in this city. Mr. Gorbach was seen after he had held communion with Joseph M. Hal- loran, who aspires for the congres- sional nomination from this district. The state central committeeman was not a bit backward about stating his position in regard to the election of 2 new member of the committee. Opposed to Paonessa ““Will you be a candidate for a place on the democratic state central com- mittee?” Mr. Gorbach was asked by a reporter. “I will not be on the state central committee if Angelo M. Paonessa is nominated for a place on the state ticket at the convention,” Mr. Gor- bach said. “Have you any preference as to who you would like to succeed you, in the event of Paonessa being nominated?"” Gorbach was asked. “T would be in favor of Judge Wil- liam F. Mangan or Frank L. Conlon, alderman from the sixth ward, suc- ceeding me in case of a turn in af- fairs,”” Gorbach said. “Well, how about David L. Dunn, chairman of the local democratic town committee, as your successor?” was asked of Gorbach. “Personally Dunn is all right but he is too close to the present administra- tion to make me feel. favorable to- ward placing him on the state cen- tral committee,” was the reply. Delegates To Meet Tonight From the above attitude it would scem as though the breach occasioned hefore the last city convention to choose the varfous delegates to con- ventions, and considerably broadened by the actions on that evening, are far from being anywhere near the process of repair. Just what will be the sentiment of some of the delegates when they convene tonight at the of- fice of A. Gorbach in Booth's block, for final instructions, is a matter of conjecture. It is being talked of about the city today that a secret meeting was held last night by the Halloran supporters. Just what transpired, no one seemed inclined to say today. The attempt to make it a unit rule by the Halloran delegates will meet with some oppo- sition. A Main street business man who at present has no political axe to grind said this morning that he was surprised when a delegate informed him that under no consideration would he be bound by any unit rule that would make him vote as favor- able to Halloran. Mayor's Friends Not Worrying The supporters of Mayor Paonessa cemed in a very happy frame of mind today, and they ventured very little information as to the local sit- uation. It is generally accepted that in view of the occurrences of the past few weeks, that Mayor Paonessa is not looking forward too much for the support of the local delegation for a place on the state ticket.

Portland, Ore,, Sept. 19.—Licenss ing of women as lay readers in the Protestant Episcopal church was ap- proved last night by the house of deputies. The deputies voted 206 to 123 to adopt a canon amendment, which remains to be acted upon by the house of bishops. The Rev. Dr. Edwin A. White of Newark, N. J, said that the innovation would help the church in many palces, especially in the mountain regjons of the south, where clergymen are not always available. The women will be au- thorized to render part of the church services. The house of deputies approved the financial program of the presiding bishop and council for $21,000,000 for the next three years. Rogers-Frary Nupfials Performed at Berlin, N. Y.

The military were at a disadvigt- age in that they had no machine guns and they suffered severely in the earlier stages of the fight.

OHIO TO VOTE FOR LIGHT WINES SALE On a State Constitutional Amendment, State Will Try For Manufacture Of Beer Also. Columbus, O., Sept. 19.—Ohjo at the November election will vote on a state constitutional amendment to le- galize the manufacture and sale of light wine and beer. The state supreme court today or- dered Secretary of State S8mith to place the proposal on the ballot in a mandamus action brought by the As- soclation Opposed to Prohibition, sponsors of the amendment, after the secretary had refused to certify the amendmgnt for vote. The Anti-Sa- loon League, it is said, will appeal to the U. 8. Supreme Court. The_secretary of state had re{u:ed to enter the proposed umendment on the ballot on the ground that if adopt- ed, it would be without effect in view of the operation of the 18th amend- ment and the Volstead law and would only entail an expense upon the state in submitting it to the voters. The court by a five to two vote, held that the secretary of state was with- out authority to bar the proposal from the ballot if petitions asking for its submission to a vote were valid. BRITISH COAL TIED UP Flect of Freighters Carrying 100,000 Tons of Welsh Anthracite Unable to Unload. Boston, Sept. 19.—While all New England is looking about for its next supply of coal, 100,000 tons of British coal is tied up in the harbor here. The fleet of freighters carrying coal to this port from overseas to meet the shortage caused by the strike is so great that discharging berths are inadequate. As a result a motley group of 15 vessels are swinging at in the roads, delayed at a cost of $1,000 a day each, their car- goes unavailable: while other col- lieries congest the wharves. Vessel captains say that somewhat similar conditions prevail at British ports because of the large number of steamers seeking coal cargoes there for shipment to this country, Conditions Foreseen Here, When a representative of the Brit- ish coal company was in this city try- ing to sell 7,500 to 8,100 tons of an- thracite coal to New Britain dealers, one of the points raised by local men was that it would be almost impos- sible to unload the coal barges as tast as it arrived at New London ports and demurrage charges would send the retail price in this city sky- rocketing. The condition in Boston at this time seems to bear out this feeling. DORAN-CURTIN Engagement of Hawkins Street Young Woman to Meriden Man is Announced Today. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J.

The officlal communique reads: “It i{s stated in some newspapers that the semi-official declaration of policy issued to the press Saturday is now regarded as mistaken by the government. This statement is un- true, Approved By Ministers “The declaration of policy given to the press Saturday reported the de- cisions of the cabinet of the previous day and was issued with the approval of all ministers in London in order that public opinion throughout the empire should be left in no doubt re- garding the aims and intentions of the British government on the ques- tion of impertal policy to which the support of the dominions had been invited by telegram, | Prince Freidrich William attended “The cabinet is well satisfled with the support accorded- to it, not only in this country but in the dominjons. “As repeated in the telegram sent by the cabinet to the premiers of Aus- tralla and New Zealand yesterday the empire will not consent to sacrifice the result of the gallant struggle and decisive victories of her sons in the eastern theater.” Appreciation To France Great Britain has officially express- ed to France its appreciation of France's attitude over the question of a joint notification to Mustapha Kem- al Pasha that the neutral zone must be respected.
