WASHINGTON, June Is (By The
Associnted Press An embargo on coal
exports as a means of relieving serious
fuel shortages in various sections of
the country, notably in New England,
was considered to day by several de-
partments Of the government
Reports from New England received
in the last few days by the Interstate
Commerce Commission have told of a
coal shortage so serious that in some
municipalities only two days supply
is on hand. Governor Coolidge, of
Massachusetts, has made repeated re-
quests to the commission for relief.
Other sections of the country are
said to be facing similar problems. Re-
lief has been effected in some cases.
The railroad congestion from which
the country has not fully recovered
and the strike Of marine workers in
number of Atlantic ports are held
to be the principal contributing fac
tors to the present situation.
Eradication Of the harmful influence
Of these two factors was the ubject
Of conference to-day between At
torney General Palmer and members
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits

Ncstion and marine labor troubles we're
understood to have been agreed on. al

Coal Shortage May Result
In Embargo ON Exports

Restoration of normal transporta-
ton conditions by rail and by water,
officials convcrsant with the situation
said. would not bring complete relief
from the coal shortage. For that rea-
son the matter of an embargo, similar
to that in effect during the coal strike
last fall, is being considered.
During the war the fuel administra
ton vas possessed of power to declare
an export embargo on coal. The trans
fer Of fuel administration powers to
the director general Of the railroad
administration and the more recent
placing of the director generals pow
ers in the hands of the Secretary of
the Interior have cloudcd the question
of whether an embargo could be laid
without additional legislation. Some
legal experts hold that no official now
has power to declare an embargo, and
cite the effort made in the closing days
Of the last session Of Congress to pass
Il bill providing for such an embargo.
Members Of the Interstate Commerce
Comm ssion are said to hold that the
commission could not put an embargo
on export coal except indirectly by
means of car assignment orders, which
would eliminate the supply of cars for
the transportation Of such coal to the
ports.
Should the emergency become sutii-
GENTLY great. some officials declare, the
Attorney General might act under the
Lever food and fuel control act to
y ace IN embargo on export coal.

Given
2 to 5 Years:
Granted Stay
Inspector Sentenced to
Sing Sing on Conviction
of Perjury Refuses to
Involve Men Higher Up

Dominick Henry, former police in
spector, found guilty of perjury last
Friday, was sentenced yesterday by
Justice Barlow S. Weeks in the Grim
inal Branch of the Supreme Court to
serve from two to five years at hard
labor in Sing Sing Prison.
Henry took the sentence calmly, re-
fusing to retract the accusations made
by him against James E. Smith, Assist
ant District Attorney In testimony
before the extraordinary grand jury
Henry had charged Smith with offering
to protect gambling in the 4th Inspec-
tion District, over which Henry had
command. The jury found that Henry
had committed perjury in giving this
testimony.
New Trial Is Denied
Motions for a new trial were denied
and Henry's lawyers announced that
they would file an application to-mor-
row afternoon for certificate of
reasonable doubt. Tho plea will be heard
Friday morning in Special Sessions,
possibly before Justice Thomas E.
Donnelly.
Justice Weeks granted stay of exc
cution until Monday pending Henry s
appeal for certificate. If this GER
titicate is granted Henry will be re-
leased on bail and his attorneys will
file an appeal for new trial with the
Appellate Division.
Deputy Attorney General William
Rand, who conducted the prosecution
said that Henry circulated the affida
Wits in which the charges against Smith
were contained at the direction of
Commissioner of Police Richard En-
right and Commissioner of Accounts
David Hirshdeld, and that they and
Mayor Hylan ARE in no small measure
responsible for the occasion which now
calls for the Judgment of the court
This was interpreted to mean that Mr.
Rand, counsel for the extraordinary
grand jury, will instigate further in
quiry into the case.
The extraordinary grand jury went
into session in the Criminal Courts
Building early yesterday afternoon
It's ostensible business was the COM
pletng of the investigation of the Of
flee of District Attorney Edward
Swami, but it was reported the mem
bers were greatly interested in the
testimony given by Jacob Luban, Jacob
Goldman and Bernard Friedman to
Commissioner of Accounts Hrshfeld
against Assistant District Attorney
Smith.
Newspaper Men Called
Two newspaper men who received
statements from Commissioner of Ac-
counts Hirshield regarding this testi-
mony were called before the grand
jury, as was James Chapman, Federal
prisoner in the Tombs, who is pre-
sumed to know something concerning
the charge against Smith.
In their testimony before Comm is
sioner of Accounts Hirshfeld the
three men are alleged to have accused
Smith of accepting bribe of $4,000
for using his influence to get an al
legged owner of a disorderly house a
light sentence
Mr. Rand's statement to the court
follows:
The jury having found that the de-
fendant's testimony before the grand
jury was false, the Attorney General
might we'll rest upon the repeated dec
larations Of the defendants counsel
that the perjury is unparalleled in
wickedness and infamy DO not think
that would be fair to the defendant
