SHARK SWIPES SWoRDFISH
 CAUGHT BY NOANK GRE

Schooner Wilbur T. Dodge, Capt Henry Langworthy, returned to her home port, Noanl1, the other afternoon after dispos- ing of her catch of fl swordfish taken on Georges banks at Block Island. Captain Langworthy narrated the following incl dent which occurred soon after leaving the banks
 They had sighted and killed sworddsh and the crew, who had gone after it, had tied it by it's head and tail alongside the dory preparatory to towing it to- the schooner, when suddenly large gray shark appeared alongside. The crew tried to frightea it away, but as it evidently was hungry, it showed fight. It was fully as long as the dory, 13 or 14 feet, so they thought best to let it alone. It turned it's attention to the swordfish and in three bites had swallowed the biggest part of it. Having satisfied it's hunger, it dis appeared as suddenly as it came
 Out of what Captain ,angworthy esti- mated was a 250 pound fsh he was able to save about 30 pounds, consisting of it's head and a small piece near the tail which, as stated, was, fastened to the dory.

SAYS PEOPLE OF N. E.
 FAILED TO BUY COAL

FAILED TO BUY COAL Charles F. Wells president of the Nor wieh Chamber of Commerce, has re- ceived the following copy of a letter from Hon Frank B. Brandegee which was sent to Senator Brandegee by F. G. Robbins in reference to the coal priority ruling for New England for coal ship ments. The letter from MT. Robbins who is director of the Interstate Com nerce Commission, Bureau of Service, Washington:
 Aug. 4, 1920. Hon. Frank B. Brandegee, United States
 SeHte, Washington, D. c.
 My dear Sir: Your letter of July 24th with it's enclosures from President c. F. Wells and MT. H. M. Lerou, mayor of Norwich, relative to the New England coal situation, is before me.
 The way has been open for the move ment of coal to New England points since June 18th ,on which date Service No. was issued. The people of that sec ton, however, failed to purchase coal and as a result no advantage could be taken of this order.
 Service Order No. Il, superseding Ser vice Order No. 6, became effective Aug ust 2nd. This order also provides pref erence for coal moving to New Englan6 points via tidewaeer, and it is hoped dealers ana industries will not place their orders with the mines and that 2 liberal supply of coal may go forward to New England.
 Yours truly,
 F. G. ROBBINS. Director.

SECRETARY HILL SPEAKS
 AT Y. M. c. A. OPEN MEETING

Another open air meeting under Y. M.
 c. A. auspices, was held at Mohegan
 park Sunday afternoon. Trinity Metho-
 dist church furnished the chorus singing
 which was accompanied by Miss Par
 kinson and William Grove on organ and
 cornet.
 The address of the occasion was de- livered by General Secretary Edwin Hill
 of the local association, who spoke in
 part as follows:
 T want to speak to you today -on Our
 Obligations.
 Sometime since business man felt
 that he must give up his business and
 he said to me- If those who owe me
 money would only pay me. would have
 several thousand dollars It goes with
 out saying that we are under obligation to pay our just debts. I believe it is best to pay as you go and if you cannot pay do not go I fear that many of you boys and girls do not realize your obligations to your parents; that moth CT who has spent sleepless nights, and has been so kind and patient with you has a right to your loyalty and love. What would you do without your mother. Then do not forget that father, often by the sweat of his brow provides for the family and you are under great obliga- tion to him. Then, there is are obliga- tion to country; every man and woman who has a vote should use that vote for the best good of the country and we should pray that God will help us to vote right I hope that God will have his Fay in November.
 While these are real obligations our greatest obligation is the debt we owe to God. How lavish He is with us and how stingy we are with Him. What would we do without the sunshine and the showers; our bodies as well as vege- tatioR would wither and die without these amsolute necessities and yet we sell dom thank God for them. We can never pay to God the debt we owe Him. We have sinned against Him and are unwor- i thy and is no other way to pay the debt but by accepting His purchased redenp- ton. How good is Jesus Christ to US he weat all the way to Calvary and per I mitted cruel men to nail him to the cross l that we might be saved by his blood. Boys, girls, men and women, let the Christ take possession of your life and i then whenever the death angel calls you will be ready to go."
 1eRoy Fielding. president of the Ep- worth League secured the singers fol ] the meeting.
 Next Sunday the syoung people of the Central BaptisS church will sing.

SEVEN P. 5. MEN ARRESTED FOR
 LO|TERING ABOUT ROSE ALLEY

According to the action of the com mon council Thursday evening Rose al ley is abolished as parking place and nc loitering is to- be allowed there.
 The public service men evidently pay little attention to city ordinances or else they are working up a test case, as the men arrested over the week end left their machines parked elsewhere in the city and proceeded to frequent their old haunts at Rose alley.
 As the law stands at present. the public service men are allowed to pick up and discharge passengers on Main street and in the square but this priv ilege, it is understood, will be short lived, as thirty days after the new traf fic rules are finally acted upon by the common council they will not be allow ed to either receive or discharge their passengers on Main street or in Frank lin square but will be routed to certain sections where they may continue to carry on their business.
