CHANAk PR0bL LEM GROWING ACUTE; ENGLAND FEARS THAT
 POSSIBILITIES ARE INEVITABLE
COAL MEN JUSTIFIED IN ASKING $20 A TON Such Is Decision Reached by Local Fuel Committee
 at Meeting

The coal dealers in New Britain are justified in charging from SIS to s2C per ton for coal. according to a de. cision reached by the members of the fuel committee of the Chamber of Commerce at special meeting held yesterday afternoon at 4:3O o'clock al which time the price of coal was dis cussed.
 Ernst w. Christ, fuel administra- tor for this city and chairman of the committee presided at the meeting. Mir. Christ said this morning that the people have been reading in the pa pers that coal is being purchased from eight to eight dollars and fifty cents a ton at the mines. and then wonder why the price In this city is so high.
 He explains, however. that most of this coal is being shipped to the northwest to get it over the Great Lakes before the cold weather comes. Very little of this coal reaches New Britain or this part of the country
 The fuel administrator claims that there is very little hard coal in New Britain and whatever coal is being secured by local dealers is bought from independent dealers whom MT. Christ characterized as "coal boot leggers."
 He further claims that these "coal bootleggers' are asking from s12.50 to s14.5o a ton for coal at the mines and the freight on this coal to New Britain is s454 ton which makes the price of the local retailer at SIS or s20 per ton.
 Although there is plenty of this coal to be purchased at these prices the local fuel committee does not ad- wise the people~to buy or not to buy but they are confident that coal will be sold at materially lower prices in a short time.
 Mir Christ claims that he with oth- CT members of the committee have made an investigation and have found that there are many dealers who want to sell coal at s14 and sl6 ton but they haven't any coal to sell because they will not pay the high price of the independent wholesale dealer.

HARRY P0UL|N IS
 FOUND NOT GUILTY Was Accused of Paternity of Mrs.
 1isrnans Child DECISION WAS A SURPRISE
South Bend Professor Swept Com- pletely on His Feet, He Says, By Announcement of Judge c. l.. Du- comb-Mrs. Herman Paints.

South Bend, Ind. Sept. 3o.-Harry Poulin. local haberdasher, charged by Mrs. Augusta Herman with being the father of her third child, was found not guilty in city court here today.
 Not Guilty Verdict.
 Judge c. L. Ducomb made it plain in his comment that he found the de- fendant mot guilty" in the strict sense of the word He said that he believed there had been intimate re- lations between Mrs. Herman and Poulin. The fact, however, that Prof. Tiernan had lived with his wife throughout the entire affair created the reasonable doubt that made 1t legally compulsory to find for the de- fendant.
 Prosecutor Floyd Jellison and Prof. Herman announced after Judge Du- comb had rendered his opinion that the case would be appealed and car ried to the supreme court of the United States, if necessary
 Tiernan Surprised.
 "The decision was great surprise to me-" said Prof. Tiernan. Tt swept me completely off my feet"
 Mrs. Herman fainted as she was leaving the courtroom.
 Judge Ducomb's decision said:
 "The testimony has been of the most sensational character and has shocked the morals of the court as we'll as the entire country and re- gret this incident of my life that it became my painful duty and that I was compelled to give the time in the trial of such degrading nature.
 Courts Duty.
 This court has but one duty to perform and that is to determine from the evidence and the law applied in the case, whether Harry Poulin is the father of the child, irrespective of the immortality or who is to blame for the conduct of the parties. It might be well to say at this time that the court is of the opinion that the only real innocent party to the case is the mys- terious baby, and who has been fore most in the mind of the court during the entire trial, but in the clamor and cries of the public the child has al- most been forgotten.
 Facts in Conflict
 There are two undisputed facts in this case. First that there was baby boy born on the 18th day of Novem- Der, 1921. Second, that the relatriy AuguAbh Herman is the mother there of. The remainder of the material facts are in direct conflict
 The cause of the relatrix or the State of Indiana must either stand or fall on the testimony of the relatrix and 1t might be we'll for me to say at this time that the court in substance or in general believes that the testi- mony of the relatrix. Taking all the facts and circumstances and the re- lationship of the families, her story in reference to the conduct between Harry Poulin and herself is the most reasonable to believe and no woman or witness could take the stand and unfold and portray to this court story as told by Mrs. Tiernan and be wholly unbelievable"

LOCAL MEN BREAK
 UP KHAN MEETING
Session Of Might Shirt Brigade' Is Suddenly Terminated
WAS RESULT OF CURIOSITY
Walsh and Grace Hear of Meeting So They Decide to Be in "The Know" Their Appearance Halts Lake Compounce Affair.

Two local men. John J. Walsh of Columbia street. and Harold Grace of Summer street, enjoyed The thrill that comes once in lifetime last night, when they broke up sup. posed meeting of the Ku Klux Klan, at Lake Compounce. The local men were given quite chase by the 'Ku kus." but they managed to get to . place where they secured the number of most of the automobiles that were parked around the spot at the south. western part of the lake, while the ceremonies" were being carried out. According to one of the local men. 1T automobiles were counted. but there was no way of ascertaining how many men were in attendance at the gather- ing last night According to the registration books, the cars all came from Bristol. Meriden, Forestville. and there was one from Bridgeport.
 "Jacko" Takes a Chance.
 MT. Walsh who was formerly In business In Bristol, had an occasion to visit the Bell City last evening on an important matter. accompanied by Mir. Grace. While in that town the local men learned that meeting of the Ku Klux Klan was scheduled later in the evening. The curiosity of the New Britain pair was aroused. so they decided to go to the spot, with two Bristol men. The. latter pair led the way, but near the entrance to Lake Compounce, for some unknown reason, the Bristol parties changed their minds
 Meeting Is Broken Up.
 Both Mir Walsh and MT. Grace having gone so far, decided to go farther, and they drove into the park. down the roadway past the band stand, thence down the driveway. Al the automobile drew near a small structure at the end of the lake, q large number of cars were noticed parked in a circle fashion. Every thing was very quiet. according to Mr. Walsh and when the presence of the outsiders was noted, the ku Kus" made every effort to keep their identity a secret. So persistent were the efforts Of Walsh and Grace to get a good line" on who was in tho party and what was transpFing, that the Klansmen decided to call of tho and move was made toward their own machines MT. Walsh in the meantime had headed his car in the other direction, 50 that when the alleged Klansmen tried to leave the meeting spot without tho number of their cars being detected, they were disappointed.
 Not Dressed Up.
 MT. Walsh this morning, admitted that he witnessed the meeting of the alleged Klan last night. He said that IS far as he could see there was absence of the white robes and tho laming torches supposed to be used n the regular Ku klux Klan cere- nonials.

Not Only Britain, But Also Other Allies Feel That Outlook is Very Grave
Constantine Leaves for Italy Renal Pasha Meets French Legate.

London, Sept. 30 (By the Associat- ed Press)-The gravely Respondent view held in official quarters here re- garding the prospect of avoiding war with the Turks is shared in allied military circles in Constantinople ac- cording to dispatches from the east ern capital to the Associated Press.
 Mustapha Renal Pasha's require ment that the British withdraw their troops from Asia Minor as a condi- tion precedent to a limited retreat of the Ottoman forces from the neutral zone of the st. aits is looked upon by local military opinion as closing the door to pacific settlement of the pres- ent dispute.
 Up to Harrington
 Whether this is the final view of the responsible military heads does not appear. How and when the at tempt to enforce the governments de- mand for the withdrawal of the Kem- alists is to be made now lies with Brig. Gen. Harrington and Vice-Ad- miral Sir Osmun Brook commanders of the British military and naval forces in the Near East and Sir Hor- ace Rumbold British high commis- sioner in Constantinople. Their de- cision is awaited with profound sus- pense.
 If war breaks-and at the moment 1t appears almost a miracle will be needed to avert it-Great Britain will enter it under discouraging auspices fnr he nf ioj ir, the nation is not behind the govern ment
 Govt. Not Backed.
 IL is impossible of course to say that the nation will not rally to the governments support if fighting be- gins, but at present the voice of the people as reported by the press Is raised in condemnation of the man. ner in which the whole Near Eastern situation has been managed.
 Premier Lloyd George who but yesterday was a national hero now is butt of violent criticism accused of having brought the country face to face with another war the duration and extent of which cannot be fore seen and all for the purpose of saw ing the faces of himself and his col leagues.
 Policy Condemned.
 Some of the comments are quite vicious in tone; others credit the premier with good intentions but nevertheless roundy condemn his policy.
 In the latter categoy is the com ment of the Spectator which terms Lloyd Georges management of the affair despicable and eXecrable.
 "Al the lessons taught by one able diplomat after another about the way to deal with the Turks have been ignored as though they did not exist" it says.
 Lloyd George has turned our foreign policy inside out and made a mess of it. such extracts might be multiplied indefinitely from the Lon- don and provincial newspapers.
 Labor Strongly Opposed.
 Labor throughout the country is up | in arms against the idea of a new war.
 There is rumor that Sir Robert | Stevenson Horne chancellor of the exchequer has threatened to resign.
