 Guilty to Charges.

Hartford, Sept. 26,---A sentence of | from one to 30 years in state prison was imposed on Lawrence Ferrone, of New York today in the superior court by Judge Allyn l., Brown, presiding, after Ferrone had pleaded guilty to a charge of having housebreaking i'm
 plements in his possession in this city February 16, 1919, and also guilty

 inal under Connecticut law and the

 the maximum sentence of 30 years.
 As to the minimum States Attorney

 jail or prison for two years and nine months and as he has made a pledge that he is through with crime and will "go straight" the rest of his life the states attorney said 1t was not unreasonable 10 suggest to the court a minimum sentence of one year Mir. Alcorn said he had told Ferrone that he would make the recommendation for the minimum and will not inter fere with the board of parole If it wants to release Ferrone anytime after he has served his minimum sen tence.

ENOUGH COAL HERE
 FOR USE TO JAN. 1 Dealers Greatest Problem Is
 Labor, Johnston Asserts CAN SEE NO SHORTAGE
Local Dealer Complains That Pur- chasers Are Too Particular and Unwilling to Adjust Selves to Un- usual Conditions.

There is enough coal in the City of New Britain to carry the people over to the first of the year, accord ing to a statement made this morn ing by F. H. Johnston of the City Coal and Wood company to a Herald reporter. and the greatest problem of the present time to the local dealers Is that of labor,
 Must Unload Quickly
 Mir. Johnston claims that it is es- sential that coal cars be unloaded within 24 hours after they arrive in the city, and 1t has been very hard for local dealers to secure men to do this work and deliver to the homes as well. He believed that the men pre- fer working in the factory al ten cents more an hour and at work which is not as hard or requiring as much strength as that of delivering and shoveling coal.
 Supply Is Large Enough.
 It was also stated by Mir. Johnston that the people could have all of the coal they wanted If they would take whatever kind they could secure, but he claims they are particular, are used to certain kind of coal and will use no other If this was not true, Mir. Johnston claims, more coal could be sold by the dealers and still more could be purchased if the deal CTS were willing to pay high prices that are being asked at present
 Watch Administrators.
 There is no need to worry for some time to come" the coal dealer said. but the problem which is con- fronting Us now is that of wondering what is ahead of us and what the fed eral as well as the state fuel distrib- utors are planning to do.'
 It has recently been learned that the first shipment of Chinese coal ever to reach the United States has just come in from the Far East in- voiced at $9 per ton. It is part of shipment of 14,ooo tons mined in Manchuria, and is but forerunner of a steady supply from China 1t is predicted. Present surveys, while not exact. indicate large undeveloped coal beds in Manchuria.
 Will Not Cut Costs.
 Mir. Johnston was asked if the er- rival of the Chinese coal would have any effect on the local coal market. He said he did not think it would have any effect inasmuch as most Of it Is being stored, which costs money, and that the rail or boat transporta- ton rates from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast would increase the price to such an extent that 1t would undoubtedly exceed the rates the dealers, both wholesale and retail, are now charging for the supply they have on hand

 Was Active Senator.
 During the first year and a half of his term in the senate, to which he was elected in 1920, after receiving the nomination over Senator Hoke Smith and Governor Hugh Dorsey, Senator Watson gave no indication of any impairment of vigor and activity which had marked his long career in politics and as a publisher. In his l last speech in the senate, delivered only week ago last Wednesday he severely criticized the administration for its course in connection with the rail strike situation. His previous attacks on the administration. and most notably his charges of illegal hangings in the American expedition ary forces, the subject of exhaustive investigation by a senate committee. had made him a conspicuous figure in the senate body during his brief serv- ice there.
 Practicing Attorney.
 Born in Thomson. Ga, in 1856, Senator Watson grew up and prac ticed law there for some years before entering state politics. After serving in the Georgia house and later, in 1888, as a democratic elector at large for the state, he was elected to congress in 1891 on the populist ticket. After being defeated on that ticket in the next two elections. he was nominated as the choice for vice. president of the St. Louis popullst convention, which endorsed William J. Bryan for president in 1896. Nominated for president by the peoples party in 1904 Senator Wat son conducted an active campaign to revive the party.
 Also a Publisher.
 About that time he began the pub lication of Tom Watson's Magazine in New York. and a year later, in 1906, undertook the publication Of Watsons Jeffersonian Magazine, which was continued under the name of the Weekly Jeffersonian, The pub lications begun in that period were suspended during the Wilson admins tration. being denied transmission through the mails after attacks In them against the draft, the espionage law and other war measures. MT. Watson then began publication Of the Columbia Sentinel at Thomson, or which he was proprietor up to his death.
