EBBETS REFUSED TO DELIVER KRAFT OR PAY ANY DAMAGES

Nashville, Tenn, July 2o.-Clarence Kraft was drafted from the Nashville club last fall by Brooklyn, and Nash ville's claim for him was filed with the ns tioral con mission before February l.. After releasing Kraft to Boston this spring and later recalling him, President Ebbetts agreed to the release of the player to Nashville under an optional agreement, but not otherwise.
 Nashville, being in need of a first baseman, accepted this proposition, but the Brooklyn club delayed so long in complying that it was later formally withdrawn. The next news from Kraft vas that he had been released to Newark of which Charles H. Ebbets, Jr., is pres ioent, and President Shropshire of Nash vile immediately filed protest with the ns tioral commission. He later received notification from President Garry Herr mann that Kraft had been awarded to Nashville. The Ma shville president main- tains that Ebbets violated the agree ment by which Kraft was drafted when ha sent him to Newark and demands that he either be returned to Nashville or tlat damages be paid for his loss.

CONFERENCE TODAY ON ADVISAbILITY OF SPECIAL GRAND JURY
Judge Crow to Discuss Sit uatiOn With Solicitor and CIerk-COurt Officials
 DisapprOve Plan

This morning Judge E. C. Crow of the circuit court will hold a conference with Joseph R. Tate circuit court solicitor. and J. w. Waldrop, clerk of the court, in reference to organizing a special grand Jury to investigate the recent assassina- tions committed in Birmingham and Jeff ferson county. It is understood that the officials of the court are not in favor of the organization of the grand jury for the reason that the circuit court has no facilities for the same In the event the grand jury is organized and impaneled, it is said that il will disorganize the civil work of the court and delay the trial of the many cases that are now on the docket. Another suggestion was mace that the circuit court was not provided with the necessary papers and records for criminal eases and that it would prove an additional expense to the county with out any material benefit.
 Judge Crow received the governors let ter yesterday and declined last night 10 make any statement as to his position on the matter until after the conference with the solicitor and clerk this morning.
 According to the records of the court it has been over 20 years since a grand jury was organized in the circuit court and then it's sessions were very brief There is no doubt as to the right of the circuit judges to organize a grand jury. but the advisability of such proceedings in questioned by the court officials.
