COAL DEALERS OF BRIDGEPORT NOT
 IN COMBINATION
Senator Arnold Says There is no Trust Here, But a Friendly Agreement is Made
(F'rom Our Special Corres.) )

Hartford, April 12.-Forme Sena- tor Thomas Arnold, Jr., of Bridgeport was enc of. those interrogated by the special legislat tive committee at its inquiry into the cost of necessities at q hearing in the state Capltoi yester- day afternoon. Senator Arnold de- nied that there is any combination in effect ill Bridgeport that could be construed as acting in restraint of the coal trade. He, said that it is quite true that the dealers in Bridgeport have a sort of a friendly series of the affairs of their business are dis cussed. He said that they believe that they have a perfect right to act in concord for the purposeof retain ing the local trade for themselves and if necessary, act so that an outsider in business there.
 He said that the dealers generally met during the month of April and talked over the price of coal for the summer. Sometimes one of the local dealers might find himself loaded up event a few days grace might be granted in order to allow him to un- load before the summer price took effect. He said that coal sold at $6.25 in Bridgeport during the summer and at $6.75 during the winter. Question ed by Representative/ Chandler as to the methods in vogue in weighing coal, Senator Arnold said that there are no public scales in Bridgeport and that each dealer has his own scales, and these are examined, he thought, about once every three months by the public weighers of Bridgeport. In reply to questions about the weighers, he said that one is a Republican and one a Democrat and they seem to get along without much friction.
 He knew of no prosecutions that had been begun because of short weight He said sometimes he him. self had sold a shoveful of coal to boys for five cents MT. Chandler asked how much coal he sold for five cents, and he replied About 25 pounds" One of the committee then said: "You must be selling coal for about $2 a ton. Can you do that and make any profit?"
 Senator Arnold smiled and replied, Hardy The facts are that if we did not charge the boys som ething for the coal they would steal it any how, so we try to make the best out of the situation. Of course there is very little coal sold this way
 Senator Arnold when questioned as to whether he purchased his coal of he did not, that he bought of differ ent concerns at different times, but as a rule the price varied very little. if any. Once, he said, a cargo of coal shipped to him was 30 tons shy, but he was unable to secure any con- sideration when he complained to the shipper. He said frequently this would happen to retail dealers but they would have to make the best of it. Asked if he would object to a state officer being designated at a suitable salary to look after the weighing of coal, etc., he said that as far as he was concerned it didn't make any difference.

Women in Mems Dress.

Something of the old romance Of
switzerland still clings in Champery,
situated above the Rhone Valley at a
height of nearly $500 feet.
The inhabitants, who number about
eight hundred, still preserve certain
local peculiarities of dress. The dark
type greatly predominates, the women
being distinctly handsome and well
developed. The vivid scarlet kerchiefs
which they wear knotted around their
heads are singularly becoming. Even
in the principal hotels here this ma
tive headdress is worn by the wait
regses, thus giving a certain pictu-
rescue individual note where such a
note is usually lacking.
Outside the village itself the women
in winter wear mems dress-long
trousers and jacket-but they still
keep their red kerchiefs. Indeed as
they have to go about a great deal in
deep snow sometimes on ski, looking
after the cattle in the stables and do
ing a good deal of work which in more
prosperous districts Is generally left
to men, they could not very well keep
to their skirts.
