.KORN|LOFF FIGHTS BUT THE OUTCOME UNKNOWN

London, December 13-A battle has oc- cured near Bielgorod. in southern Rus sia, between Bolshevik forces and troops under General Korniloff, but the outcome has not been established and Petrograd reports are conflicting. The Petrograd correspondent of the Daily Mail reports that General Korni- loff was defeated and wounded, and that his capture probably was to be expected. A dispatch from the representative of the Post. however. denies the reported Bolshevk victory, saying General Korni- Jeff has routed his opponents. and will soon join General Kaledines at Novo Tcherkask.
 The Post correspondent who received his information from an unnamed source, sends detailed description of the bat tie. He says General Korniloff had about 5000 men, making up what is known as the wild division" of cava- Hers of St. George, "battalion of death," and some artillery.
 When the Bolshevik troops were en- countered General Korniloff divided his army, and sent one part forward by train. This was soon followed up by the Bolsheviki. who promptly trumpeted a great victory.
 General Korhiloff. however in the meantime. maneuvered his main force near the Bolshevil1i, and attacked with artillery. Some of his opponents fled and others surrendered, or joined the Red Guard section of the Korniloff army. The remaining Bolsheviki were surrounded and dealt with very dras- tcally.

UNDERWOOD HEARS
 COAL COMPLAINTS
 FROM BIRMINGHAM
Fuel Administration Must Have Detailed Data Be- fore Ordering Changes
 in Routing
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, December 1S,-(Special.) Distribution of coal under the United States government has produced coal famine in Birmingham, the heart of Alabama coal fields, according to rep resentations of many citizens address, ing themselves to Senator Underwood to- day.
 Although the situation. in exact terms. was put before the fuel administration this afternoon by Senator Underwood only when detailed information was brought forth no action was promised relative to resembling orders to Ala bama operators, under which Atlanta is kept warm while Birmingham freezes.
 In the language of L. A. Snead, rep resenting the fuel administration, the following duties must be performed be- fore relief for Birmingham is possible: ''If you will have the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company advise us the source of it's supply, we will ar range for sufficient coal to take care of it's requirements If you will advise of dealers short of coal, the quantity necessary for immediate needs, the names of companies from whom supply has been obtained or with whom orders are placed we will direct such com panes to make shipments to dealers in Birmingham.
 Senator Underwood wired the foregoing terms to Birmingham complainants and he judges that if Birmingham is suffer- ing as keenly as the case is represent ed, the necessary response to ''red tape requirements will instantly be made.
 Alabama operators in Washington, George B. Mccormack. Erskine Ramsay and J. W. Mcqueen, when informed that J. l.. Yancey and other citizens of Bir- mingham had wired that on account of coal shortage the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company was con- fronted by the probability of enforced idleness, and that people generally had abandoned furnaces and resorted to grates, expressed sympathy, but no sur prise.
 It was stated that to practical pur- poses the entire coal production was communicated by the government and distributed to localities believed to be more sorely in need. The fuel admin istration, while admitting the foregoing fact stands pat in the belief that better than anyone else it knows it's business. It is indicated that any violation of prerogatives possessed by the adminis- tration will be frowned upon as se- verely as the action of Governor Cox. when to relieve suffering in Ohio he seized coal routed to points in other states.

 A highly diverting fourth spot is the act of Sam Adams and J. P. aGriffiths as music master and pupil There IS much clever. comedy in thair act and both possess good voices. which they use to advantage
 A little bit of everything" might be applied to the closing number, ir which Hill, Tivoli Girls and Hill, show their versatility. Lively dancing, trick unicycle riding and other interesting features are presented in rapid success sion.

ALABAMA MINERS AND OPERATORS
 STILL UNAGREED 
 Conference in Washington Is Productive of No Re-
 suits Whatever
UNION RECOGNITION
 WILL NOT BE GRANTED
Neither Will Contract System Be Abolished-Eight-Hour Day Is Only Concession Made.
 Strike Possibility
nx HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, December 13-(Special1 Having tentatively agreed to put into effect the so-called 8-hour day, Ala bama operators have taken the posi- ton that union miners may strike If they desire to strike.
 George B. Mccormack and J. w. Me- Queen politely declined when urged today to enter into negotiations with officials of the miners union. Later, Mir. Mccormack did unofficially talk with John l.. Lewis, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America, but it is understood that his agreement to do so was dependent on the latter's acceptance of the condition that his capacity would be that of a citizen and not of union miner.
 NO RESULTS RECORDED
 The conference came to no satisfac- tory conclusion. The operators, for the duration of the war, have agreed to an S-hour day although they have informed the fuel administration that putting such innovation into effect would reduce output at a time when the entire country is clamoring for coal.
 They have represented that under no condition would they agree to aboli- ton of the contract system or to Q
 
 insistent that the contract system be abolished, are clamoring, though not so insistent, for recognition of the union and an immediate readjustment of wages As to what will be the re- suit of differences. operators would make no prediction.
 SITUATION OUTLINED
 The situation is this:
 A strike in Alabama may be called by union officials without consulting miners affected, and pr. Garfield has served notice that if industrial dis- turbances prevail, the government will immediately take charge of the prop erty, operators and operatives. MT. Mccormack has promised the fuel ad- ministration that in the event of a strike, production of coal in Alabama would eclipse all previous records if owners be. permitted to continue oper- tion without government interference. The belief in Washington is that a strike will or will not be called in &C., cordance with the unions opinion as to whether or not it will be bettered under government control.

First nighters braved the cold last night to see the new bill at I.oew's Biiou in numbers sufficient to fill the theatre, and they were repaid for their discomfort in getting to and from tie theatre in the raw weather as the five big Ioew acts offered as the bill for the last half of the week are all of the high order The Hoosier Gir,., Chabot and Dixon, and the Leightons take first rank as vaudeville head liners.
 "The Hoosier Girl'' is jam-up aA- hrcviated musical comedy show, with a comedian that is funny girls who are pretty, we'll costumed and equipped with tuneful voices and graceful stage appearance. The musical numbers are good.
 Chabot and Dixon are brim full of high-class amusement, and what Dixon can't do with piano wouldn't interest a regular theatre patron. He is all over around, under and on top of the piano. but the music never stops. Miss Chabot is exceptionally clever and her costumes are worth seeing. E. J. Moore got big hand on his clever work as magician and comedian. He is intensely interesting and kept his auditors guessing all the while. Ken nedy and Nelson, circus tumblers. drew several rounds of applause on their s,,- perb new tumbling antics.
