First forees to zeach the mine war area will be the 26th infantry from Camp Dix, N. J., and the 19th in. | ftantry from Camp Sheridan. Reports to the war department early today |showed that these trcops have al- ready entrained. Decision to send the federal troops into the coal fields was reached after the receipts of a report from General H. H. Bandholtz of Charles- ton, in which he stated the miners were not dispersing In accordance with the command of President Harding. : “I am satisfied the miners will not ‘obey the president's proclamation,” Bandholtz wired. “I request that federal troops be sent immediately.” The first of the federal forces are expected to reach the trouble area late today. ‘The entire force will be under the of General Randholts. change I of merchandising—closing out last to make room for the new.

Coyle, priest of St. Paul's Cathedral here, and dean of the Catholic church in North Alabama, by her father, Rev. Edwin R. Steph- enson, Methodist minister. Mrs. Gussman already has given testimony which was chiefly respon: sible for his being held to the grand jury without bond. This strange drama, in which a minister of one faith, killed a priest of another; in which the daughter, whose marriage precipitated the killing, has become the prosecution's principal witness; in which a strug gle between religious convictions and decided in favor of the church and in which the head of the Catholic church in Alabama has formally charged that the killing was inspired by propaganda against his church, has created interest and excitement in Birmingham which promises to make the Stephenson case rank with the famous Leo Franck case in At lanta In bitterness, Calmly reading his Bible in his cell, and refusing to see anyone ex- cept attorneys and relatives, Steph- enson has apparently paid little at- tention to the series of events fol- * hy the closest ties of blood has been! lowing his arrest. Stephenson, if indicted, will be tried early in October, Selection of @ jury is expected to be difficult.
