 IT CALL SPECIAL SESSION Governor Does Not Think Present Legislature Should Vote on Pro- hibition.

On the grounds that legislative &C., ton on the federal prohibition amend ment should be taken only by a leg. lslature elected with the knowledge that the question is to be voted upon, Governor Marcus E. Holcomb has slgnified his intention to refuse to call a special. session of the general as- sembly for the consideration of the national prohibition amendment or to recommend that prohibition be voted upon at the coming special session which will consider the question of sol- dier suffrage.
 The governor recently received a
 letter from the Connecticut Prohiai- tion committee calling attention to a resolution which it passed on Decem- Der 27 asking that he incorporate in his call for the coming special ses- sion recommendation that the oues- tion of state prohibition be voted up- on. He also received a letter from the Prohibition National committee asking that a special session of the legislature be called immediately to consider the ratification of the prohi- bition- amendment to the United States constitution. To both letters, the governor replied that he did not ap- prove of the suggestions made and said he believed prohibition legislation would not suffer '<by waiting until the
 next regular session of the general as- sembly when the people can, witf knowledge that the matter is coming up, elect representatives with that 1T 1

CAR OF ANTHRACITE
 COAL ARRIVED FRIDAY
Statement Issued By Chairman of Local Fuel Committee.

On Friday local coal dealers received one car of anthracite coal. While this amount is small it certainly helps out great deal. The local chairman of the fuel committee has sent out the following statement:
 The local fuel committee will be pleased to learn. by letter, of any coal held privately in excess of the winters needs.
 While no criticism can be made ot the foresighted ones who were able to lay in more than the normal winters supply. an appeal must be made t6 them to be willing to share with those less foresighted or less fortunate
 Name, address, amount of coal an6 size of coal that can be spared should be stated in any communication.
 It is also desired to learn of either an electric driven saw for cord wooi or learn the price per cord for saw inv with a portable gasolene driver saw.
 During the past week total of 5 cars of coal have been received in the city by local factories. Some of tht concerns have government contract: and they have received the coal by no tifying the government of their situa ton. The local gas and electric plan is the recipient of the largest mum Der fears. They received fifteen car | loads of bituminous coal. The situation at the Shore Lin power house is greatly relieved an, | there is at present q supply sufficien | to last until Monday
