In other words distributors are, hold- ing back thousands of toms of coal for premiums which the retail dealers are unwilling and refuse to pay, as it means that the consumer must be looked to to pay the extra charge. The seriousness bf the local situation may be seen from the fact that on Aug. 1, the idle storage capacity in Norwich amounted to approximately 15,000 tons, which the dealers have been frantically endeavoring to_fill without success. Coal on hand and received n Norwieh from April 1st to August lst is approx- imately 10,000 tons less than it. was in the year 1913 and unfilled orders on the books of lbcal dealers on August lst, amounted to approximately 13,000 tons. The reason for the shortage of coal in this ecity is explained in the following letter recelved by Charles F. Wells, president of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, from The Edward Chappell Company : “We have seen published in the local papers much correspondence of late be- tween you and various ones, including Mr. Brandegee, relative Lo,}_he coal sit- uation in New England In this correspondence and also in some panere information on commodities' such as coal, we have seen statemenis iiwe lue reason the L C. C. order, endeavoring to aseist New England, has not been successful, prin- cipally because there was no effort and apparently little demand on the part of buyers to obtain cargoes at various tide water ports. We think thws statements disguise the real situation and temd to mislead the public, as so far as we know every dealer in coal is making strenuous and |even frantic ‘efforts to obtain a supply with very little success. t Is true that the various dealers have had cargoes of- fered to them at tide water at from three to five dollars per ton premium over company circular prices and in most cases dealers have declined to but car- gocs at this excesgive cost which must s ey LOCAL DEALERS MAKING FRANTIC EFFORTS TO SECURE COAL SUPPLY be passed on to their communities . This company has at the present time approximately 10,000 tons of space absolutely empty, With less than 500 tons of coal on hand and 3 number of thousand otns of unfilled and we unhesitatingly wish to state that we stand ready at the present time to take | for immediate delivery and to pay for 10,000 tons of prepared anthracite coal at’the company circular price. The condition of five retail dealers in Norwich, which gives the condition of the city is as follows: Coal en hand asd received from April 1 to August 1 is ap- proximately 10,000 tons less than it was in the yeak 1919 and even that year was a short year for coal dealers; unfilled orders on books of these dealers August 1, amounted to appreximately 13,000 tons; coal on hand August 1, 1740 tons. On August 1 the idle storage capacity in Norwich amounted to approximately 15,000 tons which the aedlers have been frantically endeavoring to fill without success. We again repeat that we would be de-’ 1 to know where we ean find 10,000 tons of good quality anthracite eoal in Drepared sizes at company circular priee or if at a reasonable commission above that ‘price. The situation in Norwich is serious and in spite of all efforts we seem hopeless to_obtain supplies.” President Wells has sent the following letter to Senator Brandegee: Hon. Frank B. Brandegee, United States Senate, Washington, D. C. The copy of letter from F. G. Rob- bins, director interstate commeree eom- mission, bureau of service, acknowledged. Herewith enclosed please find copy of communication from the largest coal dealers in Norwich, which explains it- self. T belleve that If this letter were brought to the attentien of the commis- sion there could be somethi done to stop the blackjacking holdup hods of those who have eoal by the thousands of tons held at tide water, which they will not ship on their contracts but are held- ing for a premium.

Com- BOY'S I BROKEN BY SLOWLY MOVING AUTOMOBILE Falling fre s bicycle, directly in the path of a slowly moving automoblie owned and driven by R..H.-Montgomery of this city, about 4.30 o'clock Thursday afterncon near Mohegan Gate,. Courtland Fowler, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Fow- ler of Mohegan; was run over and re- ceived a broken ief. The boy was carried into his home, a few feet from the scene of the accident, by Mr. Montgomery and was attended to by Dr. H. E. Higgins of this eity. His leg was broken at the thigh but no very serious resuits are looked for. Mr. Montgomery, with his family, was on the way to the shore when the acci- dent happened. e saw the boy on the bicyele ahead of him and slowed down. Mr. Montgomery notieed that the boy was evidently unskilled in the handling of a bicyele as he was riding it in a very uncertian line, Mr. Montgomery's machine was bare- Iy moving as he drew close to the boy. Something went wrong with the bicycle and it suddenly toppled, the boy falling right in front of the auto. He fell in such & way that one wheel passed over Ione of his legs, breaking it at the thigh. The automobile stepped almost on the instant that the boy fell, but not quite in time emough to prevent the wheel from passing over the boy's leg. Mr. Montgomery carried the boy into his home and summoned Dr. Higgins by telephone.

LACK OF DORMITORY SPACE AT STORRS COLLEGE Student enrollment to date points to a record hreaking regfiistration for the fall term at the Connecticut Agricultural College. according to George S. Torrey, secrefary of the faculty. The total en- rollment will probably amount to nearly 400 students, which means that every evailable housing accommodation Wil be utilized. Al of Whitney Hall, part of which was used for co-ads, will be used for housing young women students, be- sides the Valetine house Which has been used as a girls' dormitory for the past two rears. Most ~ of the rooms in Koons and Storrs hails, the men’s dormitories, have already been assigned to students, and several dwelling houses are to be ealled into use. It is probable that the top floor of the Mechanic Arts building will be used for dormitory purposes. The ex- tension service will be foreed to continue in its present cramped quarters in the Farm Machinery building, to where it was removed last vear from Whitney Hall, to make room for Women students. The situation is acute and it is cer- tain that many students will be turned away for lack of dormitory space as was the case last year. The need is especial- Iy noticeable 'in the case of the Home conomics dpartment which has more than tripled its enrollment in three years. and it wiil be impossible to register as many |youns women as have anplied. At the | next “session of the legislature several building appropriations will be asked for according to President Charles L. Beach. It has not been decided yet as to the amount of the appropriation, or for what purpose it will be requested. The great- est need at present is for a new men's dormitory and a science hall. The science courses at the state college are becom- ing more important to the students each year, and with the present lack of ac- commodation, it will be difficult te ‘get laboratory space for them. EASTERN COXN IUDGES AT PROBATE OUTING Judge Elias B. Hinckley of Stonington, Judge Oscar F.

Judge Carlos §. Holcomb of Torrington, nephew of Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb and successor to Judge Charles W. Cramer of Hartford, who resigned recently as deputy tax commissioner of the state, was pres- ent for the first time and explained & few of the latest problems to reach his office. Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin of Hartford presided at the meeting. The outing was much enjoyed, the judges re- tiring to the upper porch of the Momau- guin and doffing coats, proceeded in a purely informal manner to make merry.

When the matter ‘came up before the special town meeting im Groton several weeks ago in the form of a request to have the sqlectment lay out a publiestreet for Brandegee ' avenue, it Was pointed out that construction of a satisfactory roadway would cost much money and that as part of the thoroughfare lay in borough territory and part in. town, limits, the borough would have to aet en the question first. s .

Floral tributes sent in memery of the deceased actor were handsome and nu- merous. There has never been any larger display in New London. There were wreaths of many sizes, forms rep- resenting organizations and sprays rang- ing in length from three to five feet. Among the many tributes was a large standard of gladioli, reses and white and lavender asters, in the center of wWhich was a minfature white cloek, one foot in diameter made of tiny white rosebuds with hands of lavender pointing to the hour of eleven. This was sent by the New London lodge of Elks. Hundreds of friends viewed the body of the great actor for the last time 28 it lay In_state at the residence “of Mrs. Mary Sheridan, 55 Channing street. on Thursday morning; and at 9.30 o'clock the family teok their farewell. When the funeral cortege arrived at the doors of St. jJoseph's ehurch a great gathering had collected at the doors of the edifice and followed the casket into the chureh.
