Big Game Wednesday

Without a doubt one of the best
college game ever played in this
state is in store for those who see
the game this coming Wednesday.
Both teams are going good and are
unusually anxious to take the scalp
of the other. The two teams ere
evenly matched and thus ensues a
battle royal.
Furman played the Alabama Col
lege team, one of the strongest III
the South (sent Sewell and Stephen
son to Cleveland just lately), at
Greenwood last week and the re-
port in The State from Greenwood
says this was the best game ever
played there and showed two teams

KNIGHTS GATHER
AT new ORLEANS

New Orleans, April 23.-All regu-
many special trains from various sec
tionS of the country continued today
to bring knights TemplarS TO the
Crescent City for the 35th tlicnnial
Thousands are already here and 9th
ers are pouring in steadily. At leas;
$4,000 visitors are expected.
According to the older residents,
never in the history of New Orleans
not even for the gayest Mardi Gras
festival, has SO elaborate a decoration
been achieved as has been prepared
for the Templars. Every known de
vice of the decorators and the cleo
tricians art has been brought out in
the elaborate decorations which have
been worked out in the downtown
section. Unusual lighting effects,
Templars colors and emblcms, flags
and bunting have transformed the
appearance of the city while the uni
forms and taSselcd helmets of the sir
knights give military aspect to the
pageant that is absent from the well
known Mardi Gras celebrations.
The visitors spent today in welcom-
ing the incoming delegations attend
ing worship at the various churches
of the city, viewing the harbor from
the decks of the excursion steamers
and looking at the Mississippi river
while almost "at its best" Unusual
interest was shown by the visitors in

Low COAL DEMAND
DOMINANT FACTOR

Washington, April 23.-Lack of de
mand, rather than strike conditions
continues to hold down bituminous
coal production according to latest
figures assembled by the United
States geological survey. On Tues
day and Wednesday of last week
however, the output jumped to above
1000 car loads per day, against
1917 cars on Monday, the low point
registered by the effect Of Easter
holidays. For the week ending April
Is the bituminous output of the coun-
try was placed at 3,675,00O tons, and
the survey report observed that
"more coal could be produced if the
demand increased, since the full ca
pacity of non-union fields has not yet
been brought out"
From the union standpoint, "the
strike is running along in a normal
fashion," the United Mine Workers
declared in a statement today. Eff
forts to get non-union miners to join
their organized craft fellows were
asserted to be progressing most sat
isfactorily, with approximately $4,000
of the now out, land good reason for
the prediction that the coming week
will add $4,000 more" The advance
of the union into unorganized fields
was declared to be most effective in
Westmoreland, Fayette, and Greene
counties, Pennsylvania, which are
sources of steel industry coke.
Mention of the various legal pro-
ceedings resulting from the strike
was made in the unions discussion
of the situation and reference to the
approaching treason trials in West
Virginia, where leaders of the So
called miners army" which ad-
vanced to close non-union coal oper-
ators "whose lawyers are leading the
cases, rather than state Of West Vir-
ginia," the mine workers said, "dis-
closed the real purpose behind these
Indictment" was to "break up the
miners union and drive it out of
West Virginia. The great bulk of
non-union commercial sof coal, the
survey report shows, is now from
this state"

METEOR CAUSES
MUCH ALARM

Asbury Park, N. j., April 23.-A
meteor discharging odorous gases
flashed through space TO the south OF
this place at 9 o'clock tonight, disap.
peared in thunderous roar and
frightened residents of many coast
towns. Window panes in residences
in Toms River were shattered by the
explosion, and the gases, polluting the
atmosphere for more than a quarter
of an hour, compelled the residents to
hold dampened handkerchefs to their
nostrils.
In Lakehurst many OF the buildings
were shaken as if by an earthquake
A party led by town officials has
set out for the spot where the meteor
fell, believed to be near Browns Mill
in-the Pines, village 30 miles from
here.
The atmospheric phenomenon, ac,
cording to many of the persons who
witnessed it, lasted for about min
ute. But tiny streak of light at
first it became beautifully co!ored as
it neared the earth and at times ap-
peared to halt momentarilv in space
adopt a new course, then z.%2ag back
again, witnesses declared.
The meteor fell into the sea about
mile off short at Seaside Park, '35
miles south of here, .witne -ses de-
clared. The celestial mass as it struck
the water caused an explosion that
shook the residences Of the village and
threw spray to great height, resi-
dents said. Volumes. of steam then
arose and drifting ashort nauseated
many.
Members of two coast guard COM
panies said they believed the phe-
nomenon had been caused by large
explosive rocket. No trace of giant
rocket could be found, however.

BREAK in LEVEES
VERY DISASTROUS

New Orleans, April 23.-Hope of
closing the break in the Mississippi
levee which occurred at Myrtle Grove
30 miles south of this city, was aban-
doned today after it had widened to
approximately 1875 feet despite the eff
fort of the levee engineers to close
the gap and confine the river to its
regular channel.
Engineers hope to be able to "tie'
the ends of the levee with tarpaulins
and let the water run through over
the already inundated land.
While it is impossible to estimate
the damage done by the break at
Myrtle Grove, plantation men today
expressed the opinion that at least
$1,000,000 damage had already been
done. The Deer Range Plantation com.
pany is the heaviest loser. This COM
pany owns about 5000 acres of land
in the inundated area, planted mostly
in sugar cane. Owners of the plan
tation say it will require at least
three years of harvesting before
enough seed can be raised to proceed
with the conduct of the plantation on
the scale maintained before the flood.
Oyster and shrimp beds and trap
ping are other industries which will
suffer largely as a result of the break.
AS protection to plantation settle
ments, back levees were cut in several
places but the food waters continued
to spread over large areas of land
with no appreciable let up.

FLAMES DAMAGE
POPULAR HOTEL

ident Coolidge, several members of
the senate and house of representa-
tives and many other persons promi-
nent in public, business and social
life were among some 600 guests of
the New Willard hotel who were
routed out of their beds at an early
hour this morning by a fire, which
swept the top floor of the ten story
structure at Pennsylvania avenue
and Fourteenth street.
The blaze had it's origin in the ball
room on the tenth floor, where few
hours before President Harding, Mr..
Coolidge, members of the cabinet and
senator's and representatives, foreign
diplomats and others had sat around
the banquet board as guests of the
Gridiron club at it's annual spring
dinner and frolic. The fire was con-
fined to that floor and the roof above,
but tons of water poured into the
flames seeped through to the floors
below, causing much damage.
There was some confusion and ex-
element as hotel attaches, policemen
and firemen pounded on doors and
the telephone operator on duty called
room after room, but all those in the
hotel got out of their apartments to
the corridors and lobbies in safety.
Many went to other hotels, carrying
at least part of their luggage with
them, but scores remained at the
New Willard and returned to their
rooms after the fire had been extin-
guished.
How the fire started may never be
determined, but one supposition is
that cigarette or cigar stump cast
aside at the close of the Gridiron
banquet found a lodging place un-
derneath a rug or in q fold of heavy
drapery. 1t was at 5:45 o'clock when
a passing policeman noticed smoke
coming from the tenth floor windows.
He turned in an alarm and then rush
ed into the hotel, informing the night
clerk.
Several fire companies were on the
scene in a few minutes. The clatter
of their gongs woke Vice President
Coolidge, who, upon going to a win
dow saw the apparatus drawing. up
across the street. He called to Mrs.
se3oUafdge; nreFHaf asasat slfcrs swsssa
fire in the neighborhod and suggested
that they go out and see it. While
they were dressing they learned that
the fire was in the hotel. Leaving
their apartment on the third floor
they descended to the lobby and Mrs
Coolidge was sent to the home of the
vice presidents secretary, Edward T.
Clark.
Mr.. Coolidge remained at the no.
tel, where he was again joined in the
afternoon by Mrs. Coolidge. He is
the second successive vice president
of the United States to have an ex-
perience in fire at the New Willard
blaze having routed out the vice
president and Mrs. Marshall late one
night nearly four years ago.
