 Antitrust Acts.

Judge A. B. Anderson of the U $. district court has summoned the fed eral grand jury to appear here neN, Monday morning at 10 o'clock to take up investigation of alleged violations ol the Lever act and the criminal provi- sions of the antitrust acts by the coal operators.

NEW ENGLAND CITIES SUPPLIED WITH COAL Situation Better Than Most Places-Small Towns
 Feel Shortage.

Boston, Dec. 4.--Reports that soft coal ordered for New England might be diverted lO west ern cities caused some concern today among large con- Sumers here although distributors agreed hat the district was better off as regards it's supplies than some oth- CT sections Several manufa curing Conters reported that the fuel on hand would last less than a month under the present rate of distribution. Thus far no curtailment on account of fuel limitations has been announced by New England railroads. which are said to have enough coal to run 50 days.
 William A. Clark, president of the New England Coal Dealers associa ton, said that while the district had been moro fortunate than many others scattered manufa curing plants were DcglnClng to feel the shortage and more coal must be obtained if condi- tions were to remain near normal.
 Plans for handling the New Eng gland situation have been discussed at length by 8, special distributing committee composed of representatives of the railroads. the public and the fuel ad- ministration. Allen M. Mcleod, rep rcsenting tho fuel administration, was sent to Washington last night to con- Ter " lIn GllC CuSLerll regional cOn1IllC- tee and to urge a continuation of at least the present ratio of shipments
 Tho committee announced that Bos- ton and most of the large cities of New England were well supplied consider ing the 90 per cent. cut in their soft coal receipts, but that many of the small communities reported acute shortages There is said to be only six days supply on the entire island of Nantucket.
 The Rockingham Electric Light and Power Co.,. which supplies Portsm outh and Dover, N. F.. and the lines of the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway company, running into Dover and Nashua, Haverhill, Newburyport, North Am esbury and Lowell, notified it's oonsum CTS that it's fuel would be exhausted ir q week and that it was unable to obtain new supply.

SA zZSEACTORY ADJUSTMENT
 OF F7UZNE PROBLEM SEEMS LIKELY; DANNUNZIO AGREES
SEEK VACATION CAMP
 ON BURLINGTON PLOT
Welfare Organizations Have Plan to Aid Tubercular
 Children of City.

A recreation camp for under nourished and tubcrcular children may be established in Burlington next summer if plans now being discussed by representatives of the various charity and welfare organizations in New Britain are successful. To make possible a thorough examination of the grounds and facilities for such a camp, representatives of those or ganizations are in Burlington today. It is probable that work will be started at once in the event of that committee offering a favorable report.
 The committee in charge of the project consists of Chairman w. B. Rossberg, who represents the city, and is empowered to give over land and buildings belonging to the city in Burlington if the move is thought ad- Visable; A. B. BuOl, president of the Tuberculosis association; Misses Car roll and Logan, tuberculosis nurses; Miss Bartlett, representing the City Mission; Miss Cora Beale, of the New Britain Charity Organization; Mrs. A. J. Sloper, representing the Visiting Nurse association; Mrs. Robinson of the tuberculosis committee, and Mrs. $. Anderson nurse at the New Britain Machine company's plant, which she represents.
 Under the proposed plan, under nourished and tubercular children would be sent to Burlington for a period of from one to three weeks, the length to be determined by their condition. Two buildings on the city property in that town could be utilized for living buildings and the city property would afford ample ground for playground purposes. The difficulty met last year when the city was able to give a vacation to but @ few children would be overcome it is stated by the adoption of this plan. Under it the "kiddies" could be guar anteed at least one week g year, officials of the health board say. All welfare and charity organizations to take part in the project will be re- ouired to contribute an equal share to the work.

Leonard of 1O3 Columbia street is lying in the New Britain General hospital, hover ing between life and death, as a result of coal gas poisoning that nearly as- pIyxiated herself and husband during the night AIr. Leonard was uncon- scious when found but has since been revived. Hopes are held out for the recovery of both MT. and Mrs. Leonard but as yet the attending physicians re- gard the cases as critical.

When found this m Orning at a. m. by M rs Larson. a neighoor, both were uncon- !Scious.

Each Case Will Be Handled
 Separately in Prosecuting
 Avaricious Dealers, Dept. of Justice Rules.

Washington, Dec. 4--Abandonment Of governmental attempts to control the distribution and sale of sugar was announced today by Attorney Gen. Palmer.
 After the sugar equalization board is dissolved December Sa the sovern- n1ent will confine it's efforts to pros- eoutfon of profiteerjng in sugar Mir Palmer said.
 -v Palmer Without Power.
 Explaining the departments policy for the future, MT. Palmer said he had neither the power nor the ia c1lities" to control the purchase or distribution of sugar. This was said to mean the end Of the program for hSlng1ng in fresh supplies of sugar from Cuban and other sources Ap- parently little use can be mado of the new authority conferred upon Mr Pamer by the president. who desig- mated him as food administrator.
 "A conference was held this morn ing between representatives of the sI- gar equalization board and depart Inent of justice officials in which the sugar situation was reviewed" MT. Palmer said. '"The department has neither the power nor the facilities with which to control the purchase or distribution of sugar. The only gov ernmental body having this power is the sugar equalization board, and it's control terminates December. 31.
 Wm Prosecute Profteers.
 "Tf1e congress. although requested to. do so, has failed to extend the life Of the board. The department of justice will con1ine it's efforts in ;lie Sa 1or1f .<f sions of the Lever food control act by prosecuting all instances Of sales Of sugar for an unjust or unreason- able profit.
 "Tne department of justice las never attempted to fix the price ot sugar. In the past it has accepted the recommendations of the sugar equal ization board very largely in deter mining maximum fair prices. The fair margins of profitallowed are those established by the food admin istra- ton. When such determinations were made they have been communicates to the district attorneys who were ad- vised that any sales in excess of the { maximum figure set should be con- sidered unfair and unreasonable. To Use Lever Aco.
 "The early termination of the sugar equalization beard will make it i'm possible to set any definite price or sugar in the future or control it's dis tribution. Every sale will be treated on it's own merits, and all cases where the district attorney has evidence in licating an unfair profit or with holding of sugar from the nornf, channels Of consumption or any dis crirlination in price to the manu facturer or to the jobber supplyip the domestic consumer will be pro ceeded against under the Lever act.
