PRICE OF COAL WILL
DROP ei.aH A TON


The law giving President Wilson
power Ia fix the price and control
the coal industry In the United states
will no doubt result In giving tne
people cheaper coal and will alao pre-
vent the coal companies from dis
eliminating In favor OF the large con-
sumers. II. A. Garfield, son Of the
late President Garfield. has been APP
pointed coal administrator. Hls ra-
lation To the coal industry will be
about the aame ~ that OE Herbert
Hoover to the production and distrl-
button Of food.
Tho president haa already fixed the
price OF coal nj tha mines, and be-
cause In some instances, the price han
been reduced as much as s1.2S ton.
the operators have set up howl. de-
claring that they cannot operate the
mines under the new schedule, We
do not know what II costs ton 20
mine coal, but We do know that last
year the Wyoming coal companies
deliberately raised the prizes Of coal
at the mines So ton. They claimeA
that they were compelled 20 do this
in order 20 meet the increased cost
OF production. but it IL known that
thls increase amounted 10 only 40
cents ton. Instead Of advancing
the price TO the dealers 40 cents >
ton. or eveen so cents. which would
have been sufficient 10 have fully
covered the increased cost OF produc-
tIon. the companies added an add.
tional profit Of $50 a ton. and this
s1.80 q ton came out OF the pockets
Of the people. AZ We view IL, hi
companies simply stole that amount
from every man who bought ton ei
coal.
In fixing the new schedule tn
president reduced the price of lumT
coal ata II the wyoming mines s1.2G
o ton. This makes the price 70 hi
dealers 82.7k : tim, instead Of 500
which they have been paying the pas
year. Consequently the price .
coal TO the consumers In MontpeIie
will be reduced from 81 TO s6.7S j

came forward and produced ma-

U. s. C0NSULA OFFICIALS ON
 NEUTRAL SOIL

Zurich, via Paris, Feb. 21.-A score |of United States consuls and govern |ment agents, with their families, reached Zurich last night after having spent a more or less anxious week awaiting permission to leave Ger many The arrivals consisted of 46 persons who had gradually assembled in Munich, from which town they de- parted yesterday morning after the bulk of their baggage and papers had been examined. t
 the first warmly praising their treat ment by the Germans and. the second containing members whof complained bitterly of the enforced delay of their departure and of having had to leave behind them papers which the Ger man authorities desire to submit to a more rigid censorship The majority of travellers, however, reported that they had received studiousIy courteous treatment and declared that the. strin- gent regulations enforced were noth- ing more than was to be expected in View of the situation.
 In several instances the arrivals told of special ,favors that had been shown them during the last week. AS far as could be learned none of the party had any information about the fate of the Yarrowdale prisoners and knew only of contradictory German press re- ports.
 The first arrivals comprised Consul General William H. Gale, Munich, and family; Special Commissioner Gott- schalk, Cologne; Consul Milo A. Jewett and family, Kehl; Consul De Soto and wife, Warsaw. They were met at the station by Consul General Keene and luis staff. Among the arrivals on the next train were Consul General Henry
 H. Morgan, Hamburg; Vice Consul
 James c. McNally, Kehl; Vice Consul William w. Brinkmah, Coburg; and consuls from Barmen, Stettin, Bre-
 r-erhaven, Nuremburg. Dresden, Co., logne, Frankfort, Plauen, Mannheim and Aachen.
 Left behind in Munich O. elsewhere are Consul General IIaeton w. Harris
 of Frankfort, who is sick with inf1am- lmation of the lungs and has been given a.special assurance by the Ger man authorities that he can go to Co., penhagen when he is able; Consul
 John O. Wood, Chemnitz, who is awaiting instructions from Washing
 ton as to new post; Vice Consul c. Innis Brown, Mannheim, also await ing instructions; Vice Consul W. Bruce
 Wallace, Madgeburg; and Vice Consul
 Entemann, Stuttgart, both left behind sick in Munichs
 The majority of the coflsuls who
 have arrived here will go to Berne to-
 morrow or soon thereafter to await instructions from Washington.

Grand Army Men Ask Legislators to Fix Duties of Coroners
Special to The Farmer.)

Hartford, Feb. 21.-Henry J. Seeley, commander of the department of Conn. G. A. R., and Adjutant William H. Barnum both of Bridgeport, ap- peared before the Judiciary commit tee yesterday in support of several bills introduced by Representative J. Henry Blakesman of Stratford, which defines more specifically than are out lined under the existing law, the duties of coroners and medical ex- aminerS.
 The bills owed their existence to the activity of the Grand Army, the Order of United American Mechanics and the Independent Order of Odd Eel lows The death in Bridgeport, a year ago, of New Haven man prom inent in these orders, attended by the failure of authorities to affect his identification during a period of three days including his illness and many hours after his death led to agitation which has crystallized in the meas ures now. pending.
 MT. Seeley pointed out that while the. laws of humanity would prompt persons to leave nothing undone to affect the identification of persons so stricken, the laws of humanity are not working nowadays, and he and his as- sociates wanted the laws of Connec- ticut to specifically instruct certain officials in their duties in such cases. e. Rockwell Clyne of Waterbury, state counsellor of the o. U., A. M., also favored the bills.

 MT. Miner was 73 years old. and had been engaged in the wholesale grocery business in New Haven for the last 40 years. For the last, three years he had not taken an active part in the affairs of the firm, but gave his counsel whenever it was asked, and had kept up an active interest in ;tll the concerns of the firm, and has en- deared himself to a large circle of friends who knew of his many charit- able activities, display of which he never made and seldom talked of outside of his own family. His passing takes away one of the staunchest and oldest business men of New Haven. and his loss will be greatly felt. He, was a veteran of the Civil War and a Mason, but aside from his business, his principle enjoyment was found in his home. He is survived, by his widow and one son. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon from his late home in Dwight street.

A most praise e-worthy way for cele- brating the Anniversary of the E'Fa- ther of this Country has been chos- en by local Jewish people. They will not content themselves with recital of Washington's virtues and an appeal to the coming generation to follow his noble example in self-sacrifce and devotion to their native land. A host of Jewish men and women boys and girls, will sacrifice their day of rest and will celebrate the 22nd of Feb ruary by serving as volunteers to col lect money to help the countless hun dreds of thousands of starving, crip- pied, diseased and totally helpless vic- time in Europe.

STATE SUPPORTS MILLIONAIRE AS
 INDECENT POOR
Startling Revelation Made By. Attorney Generals
 Office at Hearing.
(Special to The Farmer.)


 Hartford, Feb. 21.---Taking advan- tage of the construction of the state laws relating to paupers and indigents who are inmates of public institutions such as insane asylums and institu- tions for others mentally morbid, the persons in authority of funds of such afflicted persons have, in many in stances imposed upon the state.
 The most glaring instance of this practice was cited yesterday before the Judiciary committee, before which are pending proposed amendments to the present laws, in the case of a person whose estate is valued at more than one million dollars, yet is an inmate of one of .he state hospitals for insane as a public indigent.
 The state law provides that in such cases the town may pay $2, and the state shall pay $1.75, a total of $3. 75 per week for care of such patient. Owing to increased expenses, the committee on humane institutions proposes to recommend an increase in the states payment for such cases from $1.75 to $2.25.
 Besides the case of the millionaire indigent, there were cited cases of other afflicted persons of large means, whose conservators are allowing their charges to be cared for by the state and town. There was one case cited in which the annual income of the Gin digent" is over $11,0O0, and the pay ment to the state from the indigent's $ income, for three years, has been only $471 63.
 For obvious reasons the attorney generals office did not cite the names of the 25 cases cited as proof of the need of changes in existing laws.
