President Harding has declined to accede to the request of .John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, for a conference between miners and operators to thrash out the West Vir ginia coal troublei. While the text of the PreMdent s reply was not mad? imblic at the White House Jt was said the, President had informed Mr. Lewis that he saw no necessity for a conference, inasmuch as a special Senate committee would meet t Williamson. W. Va . on September 30 to hear further testimony. The White House said the text of the PreM. dent's letter might be given out by Mr. Lewis. The sending of Federal troop into West Virginia's coal regions to ro'toro order entered the realm of probabillt.v today when army officers were called Into conference by President Harding to consider that question. Decision as to whether Federal troops would be sent, however, will awult a conference to be held at the White House at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The President and Secretory Weeks, after hearing a delegation from Wct Virginia, headed by Senator Suther land, who urged tbnt Governor Mor gan's request for federal troop be granted, ealltd Into conference Major General Harbord. acting chief of vtnff. and Brigadier General BandhnltJi. who recently visited the coal fields as the War Department's representative There was no intimation as to the attitude of the President, but War De partment officials said only the word from President Harding was necessary for them to begin movement nf troops into the West Virginia fields. Plans have been made for the movement bj the general staff, and It was said in the event it was ordered it would prob ably involve two regiments, already prepared and aw siting orders to move. One of the regiments was said to be the Nineteenth Infantry, located nt Camp Sherman, O.. nnd Columbus Hnr rackii. The other is at Camp Dix. N. J.. The announcement that the final de cision as to dispatch of troops would await an afternoon conference ns made by Secretary Weeks after he had spent two hours with the President. It is understood tlint the delay in reach ing a decision was due to it desire to obtain additional information fruin the tcene of the disturbances, (lencrul Bandholtz and Secretarv Week wen asked to return to the White House, nnd It was expected that certain tutor mation which would have a direct bear ing on the question of proclaiming mar tial law or dispatching troops would be available in time for consideration ut the conference.

All who have come In contact with him during his brief but wild career hne Tiecii fi.rced to like him. He has an extraordinarily honest face, frank :yes and is unusually nent and polite. It Is tluse engaging traits that have aided mere than anj thing else in bib ac complishing most of his exploits. Hoffman s home is in CVdllngswnod, N. .1. About one year ago his first exploit came to light. Trusted by the firm for which he was working at the time, Hoffman was soon nut in charge of taking the money to the Penn Na tional Bank.

He went to New York, where he fur nished an apartment in cxcclleut tabte and stnrtcil to live the life of tiie Broadwayite. His expenditures, par ticularly In the matter of 'ips, were so lavish thnt he soon earned the title of the "Millionaire Kid." Just as his funds were about exhausted he was lo cated bv the police and brought back to this city. His youth and honest-appearing face were in Ills lavor and lie was paroled by President .Tudjc Brown of the Mu nicipal Court.

A detail of seventy-five men under Acting Lieutenant Brinton was on duty to keep the pathway clear from the platform to the hearses. The task was not an easy one. The majority of peop'e the police had to handle were relatives and friends of the dead men. Some of the people were hnlf-crazed as their old heart wounds "were reopened, nnd thev pressed have against the gray uniforms in an effort to follow their loved ones all the way to the baggage room and on to the waiting hearses. Space would never permit this and the sympathy with which the stalwart officers (most of them veterans them selves) rcpuled them, was deeply nf fectlng. And. never mind how hard the press against them, or nppnrently unrensonab'e the person they repulsed, the big men never forgot reverently to remove their caps and hold them over their hearts as the cnsket-ladcn baggage trucks were dragged by. In today's group of dead there were more marines than in any previous shipment. Nine members of the Thomns Roberts Rcath Post No. ISO. were num bered among today's arrivals. Most of these men were members of the Fifth nnd Sixth Regiments who fell at Belleau Woods. Representatives of the post stood at attention aa the caskets passed by and on each was placed a special wreath donated by the Women'i Auxiliary of the post. Body of Shrlncr Arrives The onljember of the Mystic Shrine here to fan. Prlvnte George B. Kolp, was mrt with special honors. W. Free laud Kendrick. formerly head of the Shrine, escorted Mrs. Kolp. the boy's mother, and a wreath from the Shrine, ns well ns those donated to all the boys, was placed on his casket. Mrs. Kolp broke down comp'etelj when the casket was unloaded from the train. An effort was made to prevent her seeing the necessary business-like briskness of the men handling the large number of rnskets, but she came through the line of police nnd saw the overallcd workmen unloading the body of her son. She wns accompanied by Mrs. Blanche Bcllnk and her son. daughter and son-in-law as we'l as Mr. Kendrick. She turned first to Mrs. Bellak as If for comfort and then, ns If sensing the fraternnlism that he represented, turned to Mr. Kendrick and wept on his shoul der. Mr. Kendrick bent over nnd ten derly kissed her on the cheek. Her friends comforted her, and then, kiss ing the colors her son had given his life for. Mrs. Kolp followed the casket to the waiting ambulance. Small ns the group gathered to greet the returning heroes was, most of those in the trninshed were bound together with a grief beyond the understanding of those who had not suffered as they had. Strange friendships were formed as the long train pulled In with its freight. Standing near the gate, both i diffident ns if not wanting to intrude their sorrow stood n strange pair. The one, a man, was heavily built, well-dres'-ed, fit with the form that means, money and years of careful nurturing. He stood nervously fingering n heavy ring as he watched the train pulled In in front of him. Beside him there stood a little woman in faded black. Weak. thin-looking. reddish hair framed her face, rntheticaiiy worn fingers told of the factory or the sew- J lug machine, the peering eje of bnrd hours in poor light. Toltes Woman by Ann It was veiy evident that the man and the woman did not know one an other. Jut ns evident that thev were both waiting for something they did not wont to sre. Ah the truin came to n stop and the first flag showed out of the door, the woman slipped closer to the mnn aH if needing his superior strength. Without looking nt her. and without the slightest embarrassment the big man slipped his arm around iier fiioulder and pulled her cluse to his Hide. Thus tbey stood until one casket passed bearing the name she waited for. She left him nnd started after it, sobbing. The man glanced in an unrer tain manner toward the place he ex pected to see his own dead. Then as if doing what he felt that the man in the catket would want hirn to do he leaped after the little faded lady and took her arm and followed the casket to the door.
