With other teams Bailey is considered strong but the Coal Barons have no fear of him.
 An excursion will be run to Atlanta this morning and at least fifty of the thirty three degree rooters will go over to Geor- gia to see what the Peters aggregation looks like. If sufficient time is allowed they will secure a brass band and parade the streets of Atlanta just before the game.
 There are two cities in the Southern League that appear evil in the eye of the Birmingham rooter and no stone will be left unturned to defeat them. These two cities are Nashville and Atlanta. If the Pelicans keep up their winning streak the Birmingham Hooters Association will also have to take them in tow the first time Alb Powell puts In his appearance around the slag pile.
 This morning the standing shows New Orleans away in the lead by several lengths with Birmingham second but rum ming strong Little Rock took tumble by playing in hard luck while Memphis seems to have an eye on comfortable rest at the bottom of the column.

FEDERATION WILL KEEP HANDS OFF Senator Hanna Thinks a Meet

 Feeling Between Operators
 and the Miners.
II IS A DELICATE QUESTION

Philadelphia, May 4.-Senator Hanna in an interview today with reporter for the Associated Press characterized the situation in the anthracite coal region as extremely delicate and for that reason said 1t would be unwise for him to ex- press an opinion as to the probable result of the meeting of the executive commit tee of the United Mine Workers for the three anthracite districts called for next Wednesday at Scranton, Pa., by National President John Mitchell. Senator Hanna today notified Ralph M Easley, secretary of the National Civic Federation to re- frain from calling another meeting of the conciliation committee as that procedure would be useless in view of the latest developments.
 T want to emphasize the fact" said Senator Hanna, that the conferences be- tween the operators and miners were satisfactory Three conferences were held and the proceedings were conducted in the best spirit. I think the operators formed a favorable impression of MT. Mitchell and gave him credit for honesty ana sincerity m nlS eIOrtS 10 change the conditions of the miners. On the oth- CT hand MT. Mitchell appreciatde the consideration shown him. Unless a bitter and protracted strike should occur, I be- lieve much good will come out of the conference. I am of the opinion that they will lead to better conditions between capital and labor.
 "In the evolution of things rapidly talk ing place in this country the conference of employers and employes is one of the conditions that must necessarily be a part of 1t.
 "The progress and development of our industries must be accompanied by the development and improvement of the laboring class.
 "The peculiar situation of the anthracite mining industry" continued the senator, makes the proposition most difficult. The combination of the railroad and min ing interests brings forward the question of tonnage and this, with threatened competition from the enormous produc- ton of bituminous coal constitute mat ters which must be considered. This is the foundation O. the operators argu- ment It Is not q mere selfish interest that impels them to the stand they have taken but the proposition Is difficult to explain

GAMES YESTERDAY.
New Orleans I; Little Rock 5. Shreveport 9; Memphis l.


 The Coal Barons have gone and the fans are restless. I'll more enthusiastic could not even wal. %. tll the game had heen pl.yed in Atlanta to be inquisitive ss to the result. A constant question on ,he streets yesterday afternoon was Do YOU think we will win?' and until late at night the Age-Herald telephone was freouently rung by rooters who wanted to know who was going to pitch to- day.
 The decision as to who will go In the hox against Atlanta first Is left entirely with Manager Haller, and he is a man who is not accustomed to taking either the players or the public into his con fidence on this subject until the men ar rive at the grounds. The least little thing might change his mind and not until the umpire calls the players to the field will it be definitely known who will do tbe twirling for Birmingham. If the men were worked in their regular turn it would se Campbelrs timo to pitch, It is understood, however, Smith will go In the box. 1t is hardly probable that either Wilhelm or Lipp Will pitch, as ooth are tired from the hard work Of Friday and saturday. If Smith pitches Brown wili catch him.
 Every member of the team, crippled or sound was taken to Atlanta, and with each one carrying new bat bag and a dress suit case, they made formidable xposarnnce. All vert away wearing the hope that the smile would be broadened by the time they returned home aft CT playing nine games abroad.
 It is probable thnt King Bailey will go fin against the Barors today. Bailey has never won but enc game From Sirm'ns- hsru, according to vel informed fan. and 1t is we'll known fact that he was knocked out of the box nearly every time he pitched on the .local diamond last year.

CALERA
People Very Much Agitated Over the
 Court House Removal Question.

Calera, May 4.-(Special.)-The people here are agitated to some extent over the court house question. An act of the Legislature, passed at the session of 1s9S-9. authorized the holding of an elec- ton to definitely settle the permanent To- cation of the county site between Calera, and Columbiana. Under this act the Mayor of Calera, the Mayor of Columbi- ana, and the county treasurer were con- stituted a commission to call the elec- ton whenever fifty or more electors of the county compiled with the require ments of the law and petitioned said com missioners to call same. This was done by some sixty-hye or more electors about ten days ago and said commissioners were petitioned to call the election at once The Mayor of Calera responded, manifesting his desire, by qualifying, to comply at once and call the election, but the Mayor of Columbiana and the treas- urer of the county refused to take any action. Mandamus proceedings have been instituted in the Circuit Court of the county to compel the Mayor of Columbi- ana, Hon. W. B. Browne and the county treasurer, Mir. l.. J. Garden, to obey the law.

 If my advice had been followed a long CT time it would have been taken before the present crisis was reached, in order that these things could be explained and better understood. President Mitchells statement was hastened by the fact that scraps of information were given to the public, embarrassing him with his men.

 Have Spoken Our Last Word"
 New York, May 4-President Mitchell, when seen at the Ashland House tonight, was asked if the miners would make any more attempts in the interests of peace.
 We have spoken our last word" he said, and the time for action has ar rived. As l said in my statement Satur- day night the situation Is very threaten ing when the twenty eight members of our executive committee for the three anthracite districts meet in Scranton on Wednesday, it will be for them to decide on strike"
 Miners Expect Strike.
 Hazelton, Pa, May 1.-The impression prevails among the miners of the Hazel ton district that there will be a general strike as a result of the failure of the op- orators and the representatives of the United Mine Workers to come to an agreement If the district executive boards decide on Wednesday at Scranton to order a suspension of work the mern- bers of the union hereabouts will, 1t is believed, obey the order to a man. It is conscrvativoly estimated that three fourths of the mon in this region are or sanized and if a strike is decided opera tons will be brought to a standstil at every coiiery. Commercial business in this section has been almost at stand still for the last six weeks on account of fear of a strike.
 Miners Discouraged.
 Shamokin, Pa, May 4.-Local members of the special miners committee returned from New York today. They were dis ccuraged over the refusal of the opera tors to grant an eight-hour work day, the weighing of coal at the mines and an increase in wages. The board from this district will go to the Scranton confer ence Tuesday. In case of a tie up 52OOO men and boys will be rendered idle in the ninth district
 Great Disappointment.
 Wikesbarre, Pa, May 4-The failure of the coal operators and miners to come to an agreement was d great disappoint- ment to the people of this section of the anthracite field. who had come to the conclusion that there would be an ami cable settlement of the differences. and strike would be out of the question for another year at least. The prevailing sentiment Is now that strike can hardly be avoided. The men of the Wyoming re- zion talk strongly in favor of strike to- night It is the general belief that if strike Is declared it will be a prolonged struggle
