COOLIDGE ALARMED
AT COAL SHORTAGE
Asks Legislature to Authorize Appoint
ment of State Coal Administra-
tor-Too Much Sent Abroad.

BOSTON. June 1.-Governor Cool
idge in a special message to the house
today asked for authority to appoint
a coal administrator and for an appro
priation of $25, 900 to defray the ex-
penses of a coal administration. The
governor declared in discussing the
matter later that the shortage of coal
in New England was due almost en-
tirely, to shipments to foreign countries.
"Out of million and three quarters
tons of coal at Hampton Roads during
April" " the governor said, "all but 300
or 400 tons was shipped abroad not
withstanding that the pier at Hamp-
ton Roads was built for the specific
purpose of handling coal for New Eng
land - The real remedy, according to
the governor, is to stop foreign ship
ments and until that is done he con
sidered it highly necessary that such
coal as could be obtained for New
England should be equally distributed.

THREATENING FIRE
BUT SMALL LOSS
Blaze in Fenton Store Basement Due

Telephone Cable Burned.

about | O'Clock Saturday afternoon,
but only small damage was done. Some
packing cases were barned, the wood
work was charred and about 30 feet o.
telephone cable carving 81 pairs of
wires was destroyed. Twenty-three
business lines are still out of commits
sion, but service on them win be re-
established as soon as possible.
Some think the fire was caused hv
electrolysis, due to current from the
street railroad entering on the tele-
phone wires and burning off the cable
Others think this impossible, as the ca
Dle was equipped with an arrangement
to prevent such an occurrence, and that
the fire in the basement burned off the
cable. The cable ran past gas pipes
10 which three meters for other stores
were attached. and there was a gas ex-
plosion. Whatever the cause, Mr.. Fen
ton has decided to have the apparatus
removed from his basement.
On account of the burning off of the
wires Mr.. Fenton had trouble in get
ting the fire department and as there was
some delay in getting water it was
some time before water was gotten on
to the flames, but four lines Of hose
were laid and in a very short time
thereafter the fire was out. The vol.
ume of smoke which poured out

decided feeling of uneasiness on the
part of tenants, owners and spectators
