LABOR BOARD ORDER
DEF|ED IN STRIKE: ON
V|RG|N|AN RAILWAY

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 8.-Between
400 and 500 locomotive engineers
and firemen, constituting approx
uately two-thirds of the engine
crews of the Virginian railway,
walked out at o'clock this morn
ing despite an order from the United
States railroad labor board that the
threatened action by the men be
held in allegiance pending a hearing
before the board on November Ia Of
the controversy between the road
and its enginemen over the dis.
charge of several employees.
Vice President C. H. Hix, Of the
Virginian, telegraphed the labor
board today asking authority to EN-
ploy men to fill their places in order
that the entire schedule Of trains
might be kept in operation pending
settlement of the dispute.
Train schedules, according to Mr..
Xix early today, are not being seri-
ously handicapped. Freight and pas
senger traffic over the road are both
very light just at this period, he
said, and the walkout was not ex-
pected to reduce the operations by
more than 20 per cent unless other
operatives go out in sympathy with
The engineers and firenen.
Officials Of the Virginian here did
not anticipate such action by the
other brotherhoods. Conductors and
brakemen on all trains were on duty
early today and there had been no
threats Of a spread of the walkou1
in this direction. -

Philip e. Fox, indicted slayer OF Cap

slugged with brass knucks by an un-
identified man while on a recent trip
to Chicago, was related here today
by friends to whom Fox had told
the story two weeks ago when he

the post of publicity chief for the
khan. He was in active newspaper
work for nearly ten years, principal
ly on the Times-Herald, an after
noon newspaper of wide influence
owned and operated by E. j. K;est.
While managing editor of this pa
PEI, Fox welded a wide influence
in building up the khan, it Is said.
He is understood to have been one
of the inner political ring of twelve
who directed the senatorial campaign
of Earl B. Mayfield, and it was his
activity in this work. it is said, that
caused Imperial Wizard H. w. Evans
to offer Fox the position Of publicity
chief and editor of the official pub
LEGATION, "The Nighthawk."
Fox came to Dallas as a reporter
ten years ago from Oklahoma City.
On one occasion, he had a fight with
Mayor Henry D. Lindsey in the lat
ter's office and both carried black
eyes, it was recalled here today. How
ever, Fox was not regarded as a bel
ligerant individual, but was always
genial and kind, according to his
friends.

news of killing Captain Coburn, and
many kilograms have gone forward
to him at Atlanta. Belief is express
ed here that the Texas khan will do
everything possible to aid Fox in his
trial for the murder of the Atlanta
attorney. 1t is understood that Bob
Allen, a khan lawyer, has gone to
Atlanta to aid the prisoner.
At the offices of Sheriff Dan Har-
ston and District Attorney Shelby
Cox. it was denied that they con-
template a trip to Atlanta. Both are
warm friends of Fox. but they do not
believe a trip to the Georgia city

was stated.
F'ox's last visit to Dallas was two
weeks ago on the occasion Of the
fair. and at that time he made no
mention of leaving his post with the
klan, according to his friends. He |
Was welcomed back to Dallas with
open arms and not even Imperial

POWELL S FATHER
POSTS REWARD FOR
SONS ASSA|LANT

A reward Of $500 for information
leading to the capture of the man
reported to have stepped from be-
hind a tree about midnight Wednes-
day on Peachtree street, near Perish
ing Point, and fired point blank at
Arthur w. Powell, we'll known young
Atlanta attorney, was offered Thurs
day by his father, Judge Arthur c..
Powell, prominent Atlanta attorney.
Judge Powell explained that his
son had received two threatening
notes from an anonymous person
who warned Mr.. Powell that if he
did not drop the 100000 breach of
promise suit he had filed against
Edward Young Clarke, former Of
fetal of the Ku Klux Khan, in be-
half Of Miss Helen K. Steele, alias
Annie Mae Garland. he would be
dealt with harshly.
Judge Powell scouts the idea that
his sons connection with the Steele
case had anything to do with the at
tack Wednesday night and says he
is convinced the person who wrote
the notes and di dthe shooting was
using the case to conceal his real
motive.
Mr.. Powell, according to his own
statement, had just left his fathers
residence at 1896 Peachtree street to
go to the drug store for a soft drink
when he discovered a man trailing
him in the shadows Of the trees lin
ing the sidewalk.
He said he went to the drug store
and told u number of acquaintance
there that man was following him,
but they took it lightly and said he
was just nervous on account of the
warning notes he had received. He
said he started home and as he APP
preached a pile of building materials
he saw the man dart back. He re-
turned to the drug store, according
to his statement. and repeated his
story, but was not taken seriously.
Mr. Powell said he then determined
to return home at any cost and, with
his hand on a revolver given him
during the afternoon by friend who
was concerned over the notes he had
received, crossed the street. When
opposite the residence of G.: M.
Mitchell he says man stepped from
behind q tree, and fired point blank,
the bullet piercing his hat and in
flicting slight scalp wound.
Stephen Mitchell, of 1149 Peach
tree street, in front of whose resi-
dence the shooting took place, stated
Thursday that soon after the pistol
shots were. fired he saw a Buick
roadster, with a man on each rum
ming board, dash away from the
spot at high speed in the direction
OF BrookwoOd.
Mr.. Powell was lying unconscious
on the sidewalk when found by resi-
dents who were attracted to the
scene by the pistol shots. He was
rushed to Davis-F'ischer sanatorium,
where he was revived sufficiently
to give police details Of the shoot
ing.
On Tuesday Mr.. Powell had made
public the receipt of a badly scrawl-
he drop the 100000 breach of prom
Clarke for Miss Steele.
This warning, Mr. Powell said, told
him no further warning would be
given, but that unless he dropped
the suit the next warning would
bring lead.
Police questioned several residents
Of the neighborhood where Mr.. Pow
ell was found who said they heard
two shots about midnight and man
calling help! help?' Captain j. Z.
Chandler and Call Officers Williams
and Barker investigated.
