Firemen Turn to Head of the System
to Prevent Strike.
Texarkana, June 14 —(Special.)—The
Brotherhood of Firemen is likely to
appeal direct to George Gould of New
York to prevent a strike on the Texas
& Pacific and all other Gould roads.
This plan is regarded with favor here.
Should Gould turn the firemen down
it will involve nil other roads whose
firemen will strike in sympathy
The joint protective board will ex-
haust every means to secure a settle-
ment of the present difficulty before
taking an actual poll to decide upon a
strike, as sentiment apparently favors
a walkout.
General Manager Thorne is in New
Orleans, and the appeal to Gould will
take the matter entirely out of his
hands.

Efforts to ascertain the nature of the
evidence on which the steamer Nanti-
noke is ordered detained failed to meet
fin official response Th fact that the
vessel is reported to be loaded only
with coal, which cannot be regarded as
contraband in any sense, led to the in-
quin’ as to the ground for detention.

state department has requested the de-
partment of justice to investigate cer-
tain allegations, possibly by the Ven-
ezuelan legation here, that the Nanti-
coke was engaged in an illegal enter-
prise. The department of justice at
once out its agents to work and dis-
covered enough evidence to warrant at
least the temporary detention of the

tn make public the nature of the dis-
coveries.
