DOCTORS CAN GET COAL TO
 ILL PERSONS
Bridgeport Fuel Dealers Agree to Honor Physi- clans Prescriptions for Fuel in Cases of Ill., ness.

The coal dealers of Bridgeport
 will honor doctors prescriptions
 for coal written in the interest of
 sick persons. At least they will
 if the views of coal dealers who
 could be reached this morning
 are representative of the view of
 all the rest.
 Harry Walker of the City Ice and Coal Company, answering the ques- ton, Will your people honor doc tors prescriptions for coal?" replied, Certainly we will Any doctor who has a patient of that kind, who is suffering from lack of coal, may send his prescription to us and we will do everything that can be done to see that coal is provided in that case"
 Roderick McNeil, head of the Karm Terminal Companl, said: You may say that our company absolutely will fill prescriptions for coal properly signed by the doctor, when the coal is necessary for the protection of a sick person.

They were going to take Jo- seph Verneto. Patchogue, L. l., to the poorhouse. He lived in a little home with his wife, 96. and their son Joseph, 70. He was 1O6- Just before they came to take him he died. Rocking back and forth in a depth of grief, Mrs -Verneto thinks it was the hand of God angry because of her flash of temper, when she learned her husband was to go to the poorhouse. When men get to be 1O6 God is kind and lets them go. That Fate which over takes all mankind cannot be a by-product of Divine anger.

Details of the Greek executions are coming through. One cor respondent says that M. Gour- nars. an ex-prmeier, was brought from a hospital in a dying con dftion and that one of the five died on the way to the execu- ton. The sick man was given an injection of strychnine to enable him to stand, and the dead man was propped up beside the four living ones. It ts this last touch which annoys European editors. One might hope that if there must be shootings in Europe they will be confined to dead men If such shootings can be arranged so that first the dead will be shot and if there must be more. those about to die. things would be Ehastly enough. but not quite as bad as they are.

The conference with the Turks gets more difficult Recently the delegates assembled at Lausanne have discussed Turkish harems
 They demand the right of Chris tian nations to take away Chris tan women who do not like their husbands. The Turkish dele gates reply that there are no women in Turkish harems who do not wish to be there and if there are any, foreigners will not be permitted to interfere. Since the rest of Europe is unable to prevent the massacre of thous- ands of Christians, both men and women, the women in the har- ems, doubtless. will remain there.
