BY HARRY WARD,

Coal prices today are "flatter than

rope to give an order, Il. G. Tryon
the coal expert Of the United States
Geological Survey, said today.
PRICE BOOST THREATENED.
"If Great Britain's threatened coal
strike, which Is said to be scheduled
for April 1. continues for any length
of time, twill be much to the advan-
tage of local shippers and at the same
time will mean increased prices to
consumers, particularly those on the
Atlantic seaboard." said Tyron.
II Britain has a coal strike II will
reduce the worlds output by some
thing like 100000 to 100000 tons
per week, Tryon pointed out. The
other producing countries would have
to take that up in some measure. be-
cause Great Britain Is the second
largest coal producer Of the world.

committee set to work on taxation

Thus the taxpayers will receive

nesses from the St Maurice Valley
testified to things seen" from a lad
der and through keyhole In July
of 1917.
In an interview with reporters to-
day Fred X. Beauvais, half-breed
guide, said that a view OF Mrs. Still
mans bed could not have been had
through the keyhole. He declared
the same condition applied to the
bed in his room. He discounted the
purported views from a supposed lad
der by saying no ladder was propped
against the caves Of the house on
the day OF July 2. when Mrs. Still
man was resting in her bedchamber.
GUIDE HAS AN ALIBI.
He charged that witnesses nrst
started the "keyhole story" and later
changed IL when they heard that no
one could see the respective beds by
that method. The original story that
the sights" were had in the after
noon also was modified. Beauvais said.
The testimony taken December % be-
fore a referee in New York speci-
ned the time as "about ten O'Clock"
In this respect Beauvais said:
az have a perfect alibi for the after
noon. as i was working In the fields
with my brother, Arthur. When that
became known, the witnesses In ques-
ton changed the time to morning"
Among those who are said to have
testified in regard to the ladder and
keyhole allegations were Joseph Page,
sr., and Joseph Page. jr., and Henry
Grenon. OF La Tuque. Grenon denied
to q reporter that he had testified to

Beauvais also told a reporter The
following. which has not been pub

When 1t comes to a question OF the
United States supplying the deficiency,
Tryon said that the. best this coun-
try could do in the way OF exporting
coal was 2,5OO.OOO to 100000 tons

production Of 100000 to 100000

Norfolk Community Tree

The community Christmas tree on the northern end of the village green, lighted by it's hundreds of various colored electric lights through the generosity of Mrs. Henry H. Bridg- man each night of this week, is at tracing many from near and far. Its beauty, topped by a wonderful star, cannot be described in words but tells the story of the origin of Christmas in its own way. The work of wiring the tree was done by the Connecticut Power Co.,, under the management of John Griffin. It was at first thought impossible to do the work this year because of the effects of he recent severe ice storm, but was done last Friday when the thermometer stood many degrees below zero all day.

EPIDEMIC OF DIPH- TERRA IN CORNWALL Report from That Place States There Are Thirty
 Cases

A report was received at the News Office Wednesday morning stating that an epidemic of diphtheria has broken out in Cornwall. Up to this writing no less than thirty cases have been reported and several others are under suspicion by phy- sicians. The cause of the outbreak is attributed to one family which recently moved to Cornwall from New Milford, where they are said to have contracted the disease; also to a High School girl, whom it is thought might have acquired the germs tra- yelling back and forth on the train.
 In some families more than one member has contracted the disease and quarantine notices are becoming conspicuous. All public gatherings of any description are prohibited until further notice.
 The physician in that place, ac- cording to the report, has tried for several days to reach officials of the State Department of Health, but without avail. He has also sought the assistance of nurses and physl- clans from nearby towns.
 Practically all of the cases are re- ported to be of a mild form and the patients are not in a serious condl- tion. No deaths have taken place as the result of the epidemic.

CHRISTMAS TRADE
Volume of Business Much Less Than
 Two Previous Years

Not only in Canaan, but from re- ports received from various sources, Christmas trade was much smaller this year than for the two years pre- vious. It was generally considered that such would be the case by mer- chants who carefully watch business conditions. Local merchants have little of which to complain, but the general depression felt more acutely in larger places has been reflected to some extent in every town.
 At the post office the volume of business was greater than ever be- fore, according to Postmaster Rob- erts. That the publicity given out by the Post Master General has been effective, is seen from the fact that conditions were practically normal at the local post office on Tuesday. Never before has Christmas busi- ness been so abruptly ended at the local post office.

EVERGREENS LOSE TO SHEFFIELD QUINTETTE Evergreen A. C. Lost Their Third Consecutive Game
 Saturday

The Evergreen A. C. lost their third consecutive game when they bowed to Sheffield Saturday night under score of 4S-25. The locals were clearly outplayed by the visi- tors who caged the ball from all conceivable angles. Canaan either had terribly rotten luck at shooting or else were hoo-dooed, as the lea ther kept ringing the hoop all even ing, but refusing to sink through the net. The JinX rode Baldwin all through the game, the result being but five baskets where ordinarily he might have made dozen. Bcaujon, also was afflicted by a Nemesis in the person of "Whirlwind" Warner who ctrectually rode him as the aforesaid JinX rode Art.
 The game waXcd fast and furious in the first half which saw Sheffield run up 22 points to the locals 13. This period also saw some classically artistic tackling by Left End" Stra- leau, and his subsequent removal to the sidelines following four personal fouls. He received the Third Degree of the Ancient Order of Razz-Berry from the Canaanite younger genera tion, who greeted his removal with hoarse yells of "How do you like those Apples?" and "Now who's the Monkeys Meow?" But the blushng hero answered never a word.
 Shook and Mccormack starred for Sheffield, the former caging twelve and the latter seven floor shots. It is evident that these two Titans of the visitors never read that helpful little booklet entitled "How to Avoid Hawking a Basket" which the locals are reputed to have been perusing for the past two weeks. If the visitors have read that interesting article, they failed to take the advice seri- ously.
 Jimmy Allen of Great Harrington handled the whistle and turned in satisfactory work. He will ofIiciate at the game this Saturday night, when the Evergreens hook up with the Hill Top Five of Winsted.

NAMES ON
 DEVICES FOR FISHING
Error in Fish and Game Laws, Say Senator
 Brooks

According to Senator John N. Brooks, of Torrington, there is an error in the Connecticut fish and game laws, acts of 1921, chapter INO, seutiur i. as printed in the booklet sent o4t by the state board of fis heries and game This section contains a provision as follows;
 "The name of any person using any tip-up, bob or similar device shall be plainly marked thereon"
 No such provision is in the law. This provision was eliminated by an amendment offered by Senator Brooks at the last session. The sena- tor made a strong speech against it and the provision was voted out. In some way, however, the wrong copy of the bill as it was before the amendment was made was sent to the printer, with the result that the error appears in the pamphlet issued by the board.
 Senator Brooks assures the fisher men that there is no requirement hat they pat their names on fishing ,eViccs. The section in it's correct fo~m is as follows:
 No person shall take or attempt to take any fish through the ice by the use of more than ten tip-ups, bobs or similar devices set or held stationary at any one time. No such tip-up, bob or similar device shall Je used. set or allowed to remain set except between the hours of o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the evening. No person shall take from any pond, lake. stream or other fresh water by means of such tip-up, bob or similar device, or a hand line or rod and line, through the ice, more than 20 fish in one day"
