 If settlement terms are reached, the men are expected to be ordered back to the pits forthwith, the matter of a referendum vote to be taken up later Opinion is that it would be mere for mality.

 The veteran Methodist leader, who was elected a bishop at Asheville in 1910, was placed on the retired list at the Hot Springs conference because of his ege and failing health. He had to be taken off the train in Memphis and placed in a hospital, wheer he remained for several weeks, before being brought here in the private car of Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern Railway Company, in which the bishop was directcr.
 On arrival home the church leader, who was 61, appeared to regain his Strength, and was able to leave his home for short rides around town, but last Sunday he suffered another heart attack, and had been unconscious for the greater part of the time since then, At 10 o'clock laCt night his physicians gave up hope.

Course of Strike Lies in
 Hands of Ky. Unions

Washington, Aug. 4.-The railroad executives having submitted their conditions of acceptance to Presi~ dent Harding and departed, develop ments in the railroad strike today lay in the hands of the railroad unions which still have before them to pro- posal of the President that the Rail- road Labor Board be permitted to settle the question of seniority rights, which is the principal remain ing bone of contention.

RANGERS AT TEXARKANA
Rumored Town May Be Put Under
 Texas "Open Port" Law.

Texarkana, Aug. 11.-Ten Texas
 Rangers under the command of Capt. Lem Lamklin, who arrived last night
 in Texarkana to take charge of the
 rail strike situation, were re-enforced today by the arrival of four others.
 Headquarters have been established in the Texas & Pacific shops, the scene of minor disputes and alleged attempted intimidation.
 There is some talk of Texarkana being placed under the Texas "open port" law, but the consensus of opln- ion is that this step will not be ne- cessary. While it is reported that two or three men have been whipped and several threatening talks made since the strike began, there has been little disorder at the railroad yards.
 Tn addition to prohibiting the gath ering of strikers any place Within l. 900 feet of railway property, the Texas open port law also forbids plcketlng of any nature and any attempt, by threats or peaceful methods to have 3 workman leave his job. The picket ing provision is in conflict with re- order issued by Federal Judge Foster of New Orleans, which permitted limited picketing, but is IS agreed by local attorneys that the state law in this case will supersede the 'ederal ruling.
