It seems that the Shaw Motor Co., had sent him over here to bring in a Ford roadster that hud been report ed a* "a lltl'lr wreck" by the young man who happens to bt aliVe after it turned over.

He died here September &. The Fi delity and Columbia Trust Company of Louisville, in administering- the estate, found that he wao worth about $2,000,000 iii si-i-ui itu.a, although only about half of this amount could be located. An extensive search was begun in an effort to locate, the remainder of the fortune, which led to a close scrutiny of the fire-proof vault at the plant here, used by the. company ?n safeguarding books and valuable papers. The examination of a pack age, wrapped in a newspaper revealed the much-sought tieusure. Mr. Flournoy, who was more or ( less a recluse, died at thb age of (?'j i y^-nrs. -J To vl-as unmarried and his! estate will be divided among a num- i Imt of. nieces and nephews living here \ and in Kentucky.

The Order of Railroad Telegraphers agreed readily enough to submit the case to the Railroad Labor Hoard -or settlement but refused to accept the decision made by the Board after exhaustive investigation and has ordered a strike because the decision which they asked the Board to make did not satisfy them. The Labor Board decided that the demands of the organization for a general increase of wages and for a vacation rule were not justified. It instructed both parties to look into the question of eliminating inequal ities in the pay of some positions. For this purpose conferences were held by the Atlantic Coast Line with representatives of the Telegraphers in an effort to reach an amicable settlement of this issue, remanded by the Labor Board, and the Atlantic Coast Line, after negotiations lasting for a period of five weeks, made an offer to adjust the rates of pay of a substantial number of positions involved. This offer was refused by representatives of the Telegraphers who on September 16th broke off negotia tions with the statement that they would not further discuss the question of removing inequalities but would demand again a general increase and vacation for all men, both of which demands had been found by the Labor Board to be unwarranted. When the Atlantic Coast Line suggested that the matter should be re ferred again to the Labor Board in accordance with directions by the Board that this be done if no settlement was reached, the representatives of the organization refused to join in such action. The Atlantic Coast Line, therefore, informed the Labor Board of its failure to reach a settlement, and the Labor Board immediately assumed jurisdiction over the controversy and ordered both parties before it at Chicago for a hearing on October 9th. Officers of Atlantic Coast Line appeared as ordered, but the Telegraphers' organization declined to comply with the Board's instructions and did not put in an appear ance. In view of this the Labor Board decided to send three members to the property to investigate the whole situation ; one member representing the public, who is Vice-Chairman of the United States Railroad Labor Board, one representing the organizations and one representing the railroads. This section of the Hoard conducted hearings at Wilmington on October 12th and 13th. Prior to this time a strike ballot had been distributed among the members of the organization. At the Wilmington hearing representatives of the organization informed the Labor Board members that while the Telegraphers would co-operate with the Board in making the proposed investigation, such co-operation would not he allowed to interfere w ith the program which the organization had mapped out for handling the matter < n their own account. The representatives of the Labor Board visited a number of places on the property getting the facts in regard t" the situation, so that a report could be made to the full membership of the Labor Board, follow ing which the Board has announced that a prompt and final decision would be made, and the Company will ho governed by that decision. The strike has been called without waiting for this action by the United State."* Railroad Lab'?r Board. It is in direct defiance of the law. The Atiantie ('oast Line will make every effort to provide for uninterrupted service to the public. Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company P. R. ALBRIGHT, Vice-President and General Manager.
