Meet Separately.

The miners and operators did not come face to face w ednesday. By a tactful arrangement, the United States coal commission met the two factions alternatiVely in adjacent rooms at a hotel here.
 John Hays Hammond, noted engi- neer, chairman of the commission; Thomas R. Marshall, former vice president; Dr. Charles r. Neill, and Dr. George Otis Smith, spokesmen of the government body, hopped back and forth between the employees and employers, endeavoring to get the two sides into frame of mind which direct conference between the two factions without government inter- mediation.
 But, aside from Lewis surprise of fer on the check k-off dispute, the miners were flatly against any reces- sion from their Atlantic City posi- ton. Their message to the opera tors, through the coal commission as go-betweens, was, in effect:
 Our major demands must be con- ceded otherwise there is little use for further talk
 Conferences will be resumed Thursday morning al 10 o'clock. The federal commissioners were optimis- 'tlee that a meeting might shortly be arranged between the miners and operators representatives, at which the commission might also be pres ent. Yet the determined front of the miners delegation persisted as the conferences Wednesday wore on.

tive offices. He exercised no initia- tive and kept entirely out of political affairs.
 The appointment of >slemp fore casts an entirely different policy. Coolidge is bringing in his former secretary, Edward T. Clark, as his personal secretary. Slemp will be more of an assistant to the President, passing on a multitude of minor questions and relieving the President of burden of detail.
 VIII Organize south.
 Slemps greatest value to Coolidge will be in organizing the south. He knows every republican politician in the south and built up personal or ganization in 1920. when he was cor railing delegates for Leonard Wood. In view of the hot fight for the re publican nomination Coolidge is los ing no time in working the south. Much of the southern patronage was distributed by Harding, but such as is left will be assigned by Slemp in such way as to give his chief the maximum benefit.
 Meanwhile Coolidge has plenty of lieutenants at work in New England. Senator Moses appeared to have left the Johnson camp and is now pre- dieting solid New England delega - tion for Coolidge. With the assist ance of Secretary of War Weeks, Speaker Gillett and Senator Lodge, Coolidge would seem to have a good chance of holding a solid delegation. New England and the south together would give Coolidge approximately 400 votes in the convention. This is 100 or more short of necessary ma jority, but it gives him larger nu- cleus than any other candidate can expect to get. Then, it is reasonable to assume that Coolidge will com mand number of other delegations.

 In the other, apparently unawed by the Presidents dictum that there must be no strike, Lewis made it plain that further negotiations seemed to him useless unless the following prerequisites to further barley are granted by the operators;

Go Into Conference.

When the Warriner letter, accepts ing his offer on the check off, reached Lewis and the other miners, delegates late Wednesday night, they hurriedly went into conference Ito consider it's effect on further ne- gotations. A spokesman emerged from the conference long enough to assert that there was something mysterious" about the acceptance, and that they would have to consider 1t carefully to discover exactly what it means The miners representa- tives were still conferring at Hotel Pennsylvania long after midnight.
 Despite the operators failure to reply to the ultimatum of Lewis, the retreat of the miners from an abso- lute insistence on the privilege of having union dues deducted from pay envelopes on pay day was believed by all concerned tc be an optimistic indication of break in the deadlock emphasized at Atlantic City.
 The Miners probably will reply to the Warriner letter Wednesday.

COURT QUASHES
PRACTICE ON
WARRANTS
Harrison Holds Clerks Have
No Right to Issue Writs.
Affects Many Cases.

A custom prevalent in Police
Court since its organization in the
District has been ruled as illegal
by Judge Robert B. Harrison when
he decreed the invalidity of five
search warrants used in entering
the premises of Samuel Beard,
charged with handbook making on
the races.
The writs, argument by Judge
Daniel Thew Wright, Boards coun-
sci, showed, were obtained from the
office of the Police Court clerk
without the consent of the court.
Despite the fact that this has been
constantly done, the court declared
that only on an order from the
court could a clerk make out q
search warrant.
Judge Harrison indicated that the
only writs that will be honored by
the court will be those for which
application had been made to either
the United States Commissioner or
some person vested with the au
thority by some law.
Never before had the point been
raised by the attorneys practicing
in Police Court. The ruling is ex-
pected to invalidate a large num-
Der of cases.
