ANOTHER TURN FOR THE BETTER TAKEN
 IN COAL SITUATION
By Associated Press

London, April 22.-The coal situation has taken another promising turn in con sequence of Premier Lloyd Georges un- expected action in calling fresh barley, and the fact that the conference of min CTS delegates, the largest in the history of the federation representing member ship of nearly 100000 men, today voted continued confidence in Frank Hodges, secretary of the miners union.
 After adjournment late this afternoon of the conference which the prime min lster had with mine owners and the miners leaders, it was learned that facts were introduced which would be con- sidered over the weekend and which would again be the subject of discus sion at a further meeting to be held Monday. The position was considered so hopeful at the close of this confer ence, which was held at the board of trade, that Lloyd George, who previous ly had intended to remain in London overnight, started immediately for Lympne, so as to be able to meet Pre- niier Briand of France tomorrow at Dover.
 The official report of the board of trade conference shows that the premier appealed to both sides to come together and investigate the wage question. It was arranged that during the adjourn ment to Monday the coal owners pre- pare for submission of papers showing in greater detail the effect of their pro- pcsals both upon the miners wages and their own profits

PULLMAN DRILL HITS DRY SAND, BUT HUNT
 FOR OIL CONTINUES

Cullman, April (speciaI) -The Manistee Oil company, which has heer drilling an oil well near Hanceville for the past few months, has struck oi sands. Twenty feet of these sands have already been gone through.
 No oil has been struck, but, accord Ing to those in a position to know, the presence of these sands beyond a doubt proves that there is oil in this region Several veins of coal have also been struck but none of them was large enough to warrant mining.
 The oil well is being drilled by mill lionaire business men of Cincinnati O. The Manistee Oil company, in which they are the stockholders, owns oil leases on thousands of acres in this and the adjoining counties. The drillers have passed this first layer of oil sands and are continuing work daily. The we'll will be bored to a much greater depth than it is now, unless oil is struck within a short time.
 When another stratum of oil sands is struck, the finding of large pool of oil yielding a large quantity per Gay would not be surprising, accord ing to those connected with the com pany.
