Effect of reduced movement of coal cars was said to be particular ly marked in West Virginia districts.
 With but two exceptions, the gover. nors who replied to President Hard ing's telegram today pledged their CO., operation and support to the federal administration without qualification.

The court, however, after the trial had ben Iii progress few days, ruled there was no basis to either conspiracy ac- cusation, and the case preceded with the mental condition of Burns, at the time he made his will, as the only point at issue.

 ENGLISH DUKE
Papers Under Floor Covering May Provide Clue to Ante
 cedents of Ex-Watchman

NEW YORK, July 19.-(By the As. sociated Press) body of an ec- centric old night watchman and odd job man, lying unclaimed on a marble
 slab in Kings county morgue tonight, locked secret of heritage that author ities of two continents were seeking to solve.
 Was Edward Huston, as he was known in the little Brooklyn lodging
 house where the body was found, a lineal descendant of Charles II and the
 black sheep eldest son fthe late Duke of Grafton-entitled to the vast estates and all the herdiaments now enjoyed by the second son of the late duke? Was he a member at all of the ancient family of Fitzroy? Or was it merely coincidence that the man of mystery should have selected clip pings dealing with the affairs of the Fitzroys to cherish among his dearest possessions?
 These are some of the questions the police, the British consul and the pub lie administrator have been trying to answer since they discovered beneath the tatered carpet of his room these treasured newspaper clippings.
 Euston, who was night watchman for a steamship company, and erstwhile applicant for odd jobs at Salvation Army headquarters, died several days ago after languishing behind the closed door of his room for nearly a week, repulsing the proffered atten- tions of his landlady and scorning sug gestions that doctor be sent for. His death excited little comment until a detective found his treasure cacne. The treasure consisted of a dime weekly life insurance to insure "the decent Christian burial" photograph obviously of the dead man, though talk i en years ago, when it's subject was m his prime, and when he wore the 1 clothes of an English gentleman as one to the manor born; the clippings and a faded Masonic apron.
 On one of the clippings regarding | the present duke, which Euston had | pasted to the back of his photograph | -as if he would have said:
 There but for the curse of fate go | G"-the authorities began to build up the story that the dead night watch man might have been the real Duke )f Grafton.
 This clipping read:
 Lord Huston is a widower of GA md father of three children-Lady Lillian, who married July 20, 1910, Charles Robertson, late of the minis ny of education in Egypt; Lady Mar saret Fitzroy and Viscount Epswich. The Viscount is 30 years old being

 WIT H PLACARD
Says Industrial Court Order Is lnfraction of Rights of
 Free Speech, Free Press

MT. White posted the placard after he had been informed that the attorney general had ruled against the industrial and anti-syndicalism law.
 The poster expressed sympathy for the strikers in their announced stand for living wages and fair working conditions" In today's Gazette. Mir. White explains his stand.
 "The order of the industrial court is an infamous infraction of the right Of free press, and free speech" White writes. Certainly it has not come to pass Tn this country that a man may not say what he thinks about an in dustrial controversy without disobey- ing the'law
 "If the government desires to make test case, here it," said the editor. Tt is not a question of whether men are right or wrong, but a question of the right of an American citizen, white and twenty-one. to say what he pleases about the strike"
 Placards expressing 100 per cent sympathy for the striking shopmen have appeared in the last few days in local store windows. White changed the sign in his window, making it read firty-nine per cent instead of 100 per cent flor the striking railroad men," saying he would add one per cent every day the strike lasts
 TOPEKA, Kansas, July 19--Gover- nor Henry J. Allen refused tonight to make statement as to what action he intended to take in answer to the dare of William Allen White to make a test case of Whites hanging a plac- ard in his window supporting the rail- road strikers.
 We all know Bill" Governor Allen said. "If he insists on being funny we will have to do something about it. l But l will not issue a statement at this time"
 Richard J. Hopkins, attorney gen. eral, also declined to say that White would be arrested at once.
 "One who encourages lawlessness in Kansas by advocating it is himself the law and therefore is subject to arrest" Hopkins said in | statement.
