CHANCE TO
 STOP COAL STRIKE Government Intervention, for
 Time Being, Is at End. R. R. MAY BE DRAWN IN
Possibility of Roads Stopping on April Is Not Believed Imminent Factor At Present Time. Federal Officials Assert.

Washington. March 3-Govern. ment officials were reported today as being without hope that the threat ened coal strike can be averted or that the proposed conference between the operators and miners would be ar. ranged. If was indicated that gov ernment intervention at least in the preliminaries of the situation was practically at an end.
 Strike Inevitable.
 Holding that strike call April 1 is almost inevitable, government of ficials according to the view present ed today on high authority now are chiefly interested in seeing that a sufficient supply Of coal is maintain ed for the country as whole.
 No Shortage Seen.
 The situation with respect to a suf- ficient supply of coal, it was stated on the same authority is not acute. There now is at the surface of coal mines and in stocks at consuming centers, it was declared, enough coal to last the country for ten weeks with the prospects, it was added that this supply will be augmented by produc- ton from non-union mines and from operations in union territory which department of labor reports show are covered by district settlements be- tween the miners union and local as- sociatWns of mine operators.
 Governments Stand.
 The degree of the governments in- tervention in this strike situation, a ehigh official today declared in ex- blaming the policy agreed upon, must be determined by the extent of the public inconvenience and suffering which is caused by the strike. It was intimated that the government did not propose to enter upon any at tempt to force a conference between the operators and the miners by legal or other means.
 May Affect Railroads
 Comment was withheld today upon the possibility that railroad labor struggle after April i despite indica- tons that the departments agents did not consider this as an imminent facten in the situation.
 PrtP,ftion GaiIr. Production of soft coal continues to increase slowly according to the current weekly report of the U. S Geological Survey which placed the stock on hand on the first of the year at 54,700,00O tons. In the week end ing March 4, production reached l. 1S,O00 tons.

Owners of Fair Store Said To Have Paid Quarter of Million for Adjoining Business Place.
Name Unchanged and Both
 Stores Will Be Continued

With the signing of the papers. transferring the stock, fixtures and good will of the McMillan Store, in corporated, to Messrs. Davidson and I.eventhal, of the Fair store, there ensued a transaction approximating a quarter of million dollars.
 The sale was negotiated by the Camp Real Estate company. Probate Judge B. F. Gaffney represented the interests of Dugald McMillan, the for mer proprietor. while Judge George w. Klett and Deputy Judge B. w. AL ling were attorneys for the purchas- CTS.
 Quarter Million Deal.
 Included in the deal were the stock. fixtures and good will of the busi- ness and 10 year lease with option to purchase at will on the building, which is said to be worth about sl4o.- 900. The entire transaction approxi- mates close to $250,00 including the option. The building has not been sold, but the 10 year lease secured by Messrs. Davidson and Leventhal car- ries with it the option to purchase at any time.
 To Be Known As "McMillan's''
 While the plans of the new owners are somewhat indefinite at the pres ent time, they have stated that the present personnel and management will remain the same. It is intended, as soon as convenient to increase the size and more fully develop some of the departments. The store will be run as a separate unit and will not be combined with the Fair store. The front of the building will be altered and the business will be transacted under the name of "McMillan's".

 Had Served Apprenticeship
 He had served an apprenticeship in a department store in Scotland and knew what his chosen work was to be. He worked in Springfield, Wor- cester, Hartford and New Haven as a salesman in department stores, coming to New Britain in 1892.
 Opened Small Store.
 On February 27, 1892, Mir. McMil- Ian opened small store at the cor ner of Main and Commercial streets, in the building then known as the Gridley block and now known as the Leland" block. The store then em- ployed three or four clerks. In 1895, three years later, the business had grown to such proportions that the store now occupied the three floors of the building and the second floor of an adjoining block. In 1897, Mir. Mc- Milan moved his business to the Had

Is Certain Primary Will Place His

QUIGLEY PLANNING RALLY
Former Mayor May Speak Thursday Night in Skritulsgys HaIl-Paon- essa Talks to Democrats Tonight at Club Session.

Mayor Orson F. Curtis asserted to- day that he has no doubt but that the republican primaries will place his name at the head of the ticket, and since he regards nomination tanta- mount to election. he feels that he will succeed himself as mayor for nn- other two years.
 No Campaign Manager.
 The mayor does not expect to se- lect campaign manager. In his Guc- cessful campaign of two years ago, he chose a similar course. He did not take the stump in his own behalf, and it is not expected that he will do so this year.
 George A. Quigley, candidate for the republican nomination, is laying plans for second rally, this one ts be held Thursday night in Fkritnlsky < hall on Broad street. The candidate and one other speaker will talk 10 the gathering. Several hundred heard Mir. Quigley last Thursday night in Lithuanian hall on Park street
 Alderman Angelo NJ. Paonessa, who is seeking the democrat nomination. will speak at meeting of the Hard ware City Democrat club tonight. The session is the regular weekly gather ing, held at the K. of c. hall on Main streea. Although the club is not for mally pledged to any one candidate, it is generally supposed that MT. Paonessa will be given almost unan- imous support since he is the only mayoralty possibility who has ad dressed the club.
 Await Announcement.
 Announcement of cx-Mayor Joseph M. Halloran's candidacy will be forth coming tomorrow, it is expected. MT. Haloran.s announcement has been expected for several weeks, since it was reported that the democrat pow CTS were anxious to have him enter the mayoralty race.
 Mayor Curtiss announcement and that of ex-Mayor Halloran will assure followers of political movements one of the liveliest elections in recent years. The republican primaries will be bitterly contested between Curtis and Quigey. The two candidates were fellow members of the common council and while in that body clashed on numerous occasions. The last campaign, served to aggravate the feeling of unfriendlihess and when Quigley turned over the mayoralty badge to Curtis the usual congratula- tions were noticeably missing.
 Democrat Breach Feared.
 On the democratic side there is not the bitter feeling between the two candidates that is present in the ranks of the G. o. P. Members or that party are lined up strongly elth- CT with Paonessa or Halloran' now ever, it is reported, and the party leaders fear that it will be impos- sible to preserve harmony in the ranks after the caucus. This condi- tion is feared especially in the event that Paonessa is dumped at the eau ont

PECULIAR MOOD

Do YOU ever. in walking along a street, try to s
every crack in the sidewalk, or change the length on
strides to avoid stepping on cracks ~altogetherG
In going upstairs, do you have impulses to take cer\
steps two at a time, " or count the number OF steps?
Famous old DR.. Samuel johnson had a similar habit.
taking a walk he could not resist hitting each picket of
fence with a cane. Sometimes, he wrote, 1t BECAME an Oh
session with him that he had missed a picket. Then he wouldy
walk back several blocks and hit the annoying picket with
great satisfaction.
Every one, at some time or other, has peculiar impulses
of this sort. Few stop to analyze them.
These absurd impulses or habits are mild symptoms of
nsvcbasthenia. according to DIR Abraham Myerson, who teach
es neurology in Tufts Medical School.
Psychasthenia, says DR.. Myerson, is a disease-one of the
forms of nervous and mental disorders which the public calls
nervousness and the scientist calls 'psychoneuross."
Generally these peculiar impulses can be eliminated by
will power. Every one has them at times, SO no Isl Worrying
about them. We all have "crazy moments"
Psychasthenia, however, can develop into a decidedly DIS
eased condition that interferes with happiness and efficiency.
In the background is the Disease of Fear.
In advanced cases, fear becomes an extreme dread OF
closed places, Of being alone, OF DIRT, Oh olsease' OIL oil AmuS
and manners of situations"
An extreme psychasthenia, says DR.. Myerson, the GILL
