Baldwin, the long expected coal isistill on the way. Mr. Baldwin said this morn- ing that it has been on the since: January 15 and althpugh the state police have made efforts to trace it and though the shippers have promised it soon, it has not been heard from yet. One car arrived last week and was sold out almost as soon as it arrived. Since that time people have either bought their coal in New Britain or have used wood. Several carloads of the precious fuel have bheen noticed on the spur tracks in the Berlin freight yard during the past few weeks, but none of them has remained. This morning two carloads of coal were switched on to the side track. A carload of soft coal was also no- ticed. Chestnut and pea coal have also appeared at various times, but these two were soon taken away. Mr. Baldwin expects one car of chestnut coal, one of stove coal and one of soft coal. Grange Celcbrates.

Fire Chier Cronin, fuel administra- tor for Southington, has been literal- ly besieged by residents asking for coal, and he is at a loss how to fill the many requests. At the present time there is very little fuel in South- ington and local dealers are not sure| when they will receive any. Mr.| Cronin has made a thorough investi- gation of the conditions here and find that many families are actually suffering because of the lack of fuel.| One instance, he cited,- came to his| attention where a family of several| children was without fuel of any sort| and the mother found it necessary to! send her children into neighbors’ homes to kgep warm. The dealers here have been doing splendid work and some of them re-| ported that they have been allotting| coal in bags of 100 pounds but several women have been sending two or three boys to the yards with bags and have been getting more than their share. This practice will be stopped.

AWARDED DAMAGES $00,000 for New York Girl's Seripys_[njuries New York, Feb, 21.—A jury in the supreme court, Brooklyn, decided yes- terday that Emily Hesseman, 12, of 646 Pacific street, who, it is said, will never be able to marry, never be able to attend school nor play, was entitled to $50,000 damages from the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company. An iron bolt flew from defective longing to the company on the after- noon of August 13, 1921. The girl was wheeling a younger sister in a | carriage on the sidewalk. The bolt struck her on the forehead over the left eye and she was removed uncon- scious to the Swedish hospital, where an immediate operation was perform- ed to remove pressure on the brain. Dr. 8. Philip Goodhart, an alienist, testified that the girl would never be th t e state I The Largest Sale in America 2,300 QUARTS TAKEN | FROM FRENCH LINER Biggest Liguor Haulof Its Kind Since Ruling New York, Feh, 21.—~Twenty.five| hundred bottles of Scoteh whiskey were seized yesterday by customs in. spectors from aboard the liner P'rance docked at Pler North | River, The selzure is the most im portant ma since Attorney-Gen. eral Daugherty's decision that ve sels of foreign registry cannot | gally bring liguor into American ports, Officlals of the French Line de- clared last night they would seek to have the French embassy at Wash- ington intercede with the American state department to have the liquor returned. The whiskey was stolen from the company's warchouse at Havre, France, by members of the ship’s crew and secreted in the hold of the craft, according to Oscar Cau- chols, general manager of the French Line. His company, there fore, is blameless in the violation of the Daugherty ruling, he argued to customs officers, None of the liquor was listed in the manifest or on the stores list, ac- cording to O. A. Hokenson, who directed the seizure, and the entire cargo, therefore, is contraband and liable to confiscation. Five hundred quarts of liquor already have been taken from the craft and the remain- ing 2,000 bottles will be brought ashore prior to the departure of the France for Havre, said Mr. Hoken- son. . Under provisions of the Daugherty ruling, the France is liable to seizure by this government. Customs offi cials, however, declined to discuss the possibilities of libel proceedings being instituted against the vessel Lawyers for the I‘rench Line de- clined to divulge what action they will take. The conferred with Capt. L. Roch, commander of the France and Capt. D. Le Huede, commander of another French Line vessel i port. Many large steamships of foreig registry are persistently violating the provisions of the Daugherty ruling, customs officials said, by smuggling liquor into the United States, Hug: stocks of whiskey, they said, are he ing secretly landed from incoming vessels and the customs department intends to maintain a militant atti- tude toward offenders. Edward M. Barnes, chief of the customs depart. ment legal division, probably wil hold a hearing today on the seizure of the liquor from the Irance.
