CONFERENCE ON
 COAL TERMINAL
Manager DeBardeIeben to Confer With General Con-
 nor on River Terminals

Eenry T. DeBardeleben, manager Of Warrior river transportation, left last night for Washington, where he will join Theo Brent, general manager of the Mis- sissppi-W Warrior system, in a conference with Gen. W. D. Connor, new director of inland waterways.
 The conference will be with reference to terminals on the Warrior from Cor dova at the head of navigation to Mobile on the bay. Mr. DeBardeleben woltld not make a statement as to what he ex- pected to be done. He prefers to make no announcement until General Connor himself has definitely passed on all projects and authorizes official declara- tion what shall have been determined upon.
 There seems little doubt that in the near future the s400,00O coal terminal project at Mobile will be accorded the go-ahead order, that Demopolis will be met half way by the government in her effort to build a river terminal, and that Cordova will have it's coal handling devices added to.
 General Connor is known to favor ex- ploitation of the Warrior as the "one stream in America to demonstrate the wisdom of government funds for irn- provement" General expectation is that several interesting matters bearing on the Warrior are coming to head.
