de OF fines on Lawrence and one
II his men in Mondays game. When

would have to pay the fine before [

nitted to participate in that game,
lawrence pulled a money bag, walk

ennies. I
Robinson took the affair good
and placed the coin in n
mall money bag. He had not ]
ounted the money before he left b
his morning for Clinton where he
as been assigned to work three

Lawrence demanded n receipt for Il
he $500 fine before the Bulldogs

uest was not granted by Umpire

Judge Fitzhugh of the city court commends an officer for arresting and bringing before him what is termed la jellybean. declaring Memphis is the only town in the United States that Itolerates them.

 But what to do with them-that is the problem. Mother and nurse can't keep them at home, it seems they can't engage in games with rough lit .le boys. for they might hurt them selves or soil their clothes; and mo- body wants to employ them, as they are worthless.

NO SIGN OF END
 OF COAL STRIKE
Administration Officials Are Not Att tempting to Settle Controversy
 Will Meet OperatrOs.

Washington, May 30.-Administra- tion officials are making no move at this time to end the coal strike, and expect no decisive turn in events that may lead to settlement of the con- troversy by the middle of June or the first of July.
 This declaration was made in au- thoriLative quarters when reports were received that there was in some quarters misconception of the pur- poses of tomorrow conference be- tween Secretary of Commerce Hoover and 1000 bituminous coal operators called here to consider the coal price agreement submitted by Secretary Hoover 10 days ago at a conference with 40 nonunion operators
 Tomorrow conference will not concern itself either directly or indl- Irectly with settlement of the strike, and officials are convinced that at least another month must pass before any serious shortage Ill coal Will De felt Until that time comes, it is de- clared. it will be futile for the govern ment to attempt to intervene in the controversy and nothing but an unex- pected surrender by one side or the other would end the strike
 To Maintain Fair Prices.
 The meeting tomorrow with Secre- tary Hoover will consider means of maintaining a fair mine price of such nonunion coal as may be produced while the strike lasts, and means of preventing runaway market through speculation or an increasing demand for such fuel as may be available.

State Vets May Not Meet Again.

Asheville.-The reunion of the Con-
federate Veterans, comprising the
North Carolina division, came to an
end here, following one Of the largest
and most impressive parades ever
held in the city.
Whether the North Carolina veter-
ans will meet in reunion next year
has not been decided. Some feel that
the scattered lines will hardly make
1t feasible.
Following the spectacular parade
the veterans were driven over the
Biltmore estate and many Of them
visited the government hospitals at
Oteen and Kenilworth. In the wards
Of these hospitals emotion several
times overcame patients who gazed
from their beds Of sickness upon the
bent and gray veterans Of bitter
conflict before them.
An automobile bearing General Ju'
lian s. Carr, commander in chief OF
the United Confederate Veterans, and
Brigadier General j. M. Ray of Ashe-
Vile, commanding the fourth brigade
U. c. ", led the parade.
