 According to residents near tire shore of the pond, the Rhode, Island officers ar rived there in an automobile in pursuit. of the fugitive, who was found travelling along the road near the pond. The escaped prisoner caught sight of his pursuers and took to the water to get out of their reach. was a. good swimmer and had no difficulty in making for the opposite shore But his plan to get out. there was checknate ed by the officers, one of whom took the car and skirted the pond while the other two secured a canoe. and pad died out to the man in the water, whom they tried to force ashore.
 The convict kept swimming around in the middle of the pond and out of reach of the officers in the canoe, who did not dare to approach too close to him for fear that he would get hold of their craft and upset them into the water. The otfi- cer in the machine had a revolver which he finally managed to pass to the men in i the canoe, and with this in hand they drove the swimmer ashore. where he was captured after having been in the water about half an hour.
 | The escaped prisoner was bundled ar l in blanket in the machine and taker back to Rhode Island by the officers | was reported that he had made severa esca pes from prison before.

COAL DEALERS OF STATE ,.'- WILL HELP FUEL BOARD

From nearly hundred answers to the letter sent out by the state fuel ccunis- sion to the retail coal dealers of the state recomrnendlng that deliveries of anthra- cite be made only to domestic consumers In lots not' to exceed two tons and re- ouestinE that fair price be maintained. there was not one reply which did not promise the utmost cooperation and ob- servance of the regulations. Answers came In almost irannediateiy and were in every case favorable to the suggestions as outlined by the commission in order to spread out the incoming shipments of anthracite as evenly as possible.
 To expedite delivery the commission ordered the dealers tosunload freight cars within 2l hours after arrival. The ruling regarding deliveries to be made up ts
 Nov. | to domestic consumers only was designed to keep those buildings and in stitutions which could without inconveni. ence use bltumlnous from eating up the
 necessarily limited anthracite supply.
 More Than Satisfactory Chester H. Comey, secretary to the
 commission. said that the answers had l been more than satisfactory and that the l commission was convinced the dealers in- | tended sincerely to cooperate with the | commission. in a trying situation.
 A number of answers to the question
 naire were also received by which the dealers declared the extent of present I supply and the normal amount of anthar- i cite which would satisfy the needs of
 their respective communities. The ob- ject of the commission is not so much to obtain an estimate of the total amount
 of anthracite in the state present and the total needed to place the supply on itt
 ordinary basis. but rather to even up the supplies of the individual dealers keeping
 one dealer from being overstocked and another from having less than his pro
 poftionate share. The recommendation
 of the state, commission are acted upor
 by the anthracite advisory committee ap. pointed last week.

 trator to the commission, went to Nev i; York Monday to confer with administrat 1, ors from others states and federal author | ities The conference has been called b.
