CONFERENCE FAILED
Differences Between Miners and Oper
atOrs Remain Unsettled,

Philadelphia. April 1O.-After con-
ferences, extending since Wednesday,
between anthracite coal operators and
officials Of the United Mine Workers
Of America, at which the question of
a wage agreement to replace that
brought about by the anthracite strike
commission was discussed, the oper-
ators tod4v rejected the modified de-
mands of the miners presented yes
terday. and the conference adjourned
in a deadlock.
There will be no strike inaugurated
by the mine workers, however. and
the only danger of a suspension of
mining in the near future. according
to the mine workers.. officials, arises
from the possibility Of the refusal of
the operators to permit the miners to
work without an agreement.
The modified demands of the miners
requested that the mine workers be
recognized as anthracite workers. =
and that conditions regarding new
work by the miners, in which wages
were involved, and which would give
increased pay to the miners, be i'm
proved. Although the entire PROPOSE
tion of the miners as modified was
finally rejected, the operators this aft
ernoon gave out statement in New
York. where they went Immediately
after the conference, in which they
claim they offered to submit the new
work" complaint to the conciliation
board, created by the anthracite strike
commission. When the attention of
President Lewis of the United Mine
Workers of America was called to the
operators statement he said:
II have no comment to make"
When pressed as to his views con-
cerning the operators concession re-
Earding new work" he said:
"Bugs!"
He would not discuss the matter.

Wrought Havoc

the result Of premature explosion

Early today all the dead have been
recovered and, according TO Mine In
spector Blower of the Sixth district.
there are no more victims in the

as the day shift was going off duty
and the fact that the death list is
not very large is accounten for by
the fact that the men were near the
mint mouth and had but to make a
short dash for safety.

Culver Case Before Court

This week the c. l.. Culver case
q matter of statewide interest, is be-
ing argued before the supreme
court of Iowa at Des Moines. Some
time before coming to DEBORAH, Mr..
Culver was sheriff OF Fayette county,
and sued the county for $2,400 for
three years salary of his deputy,
claiming that the county should
pay the deputy the same as is the
case in the other offices. Judge
Hobson sustained him in the lower
court, rendering judgment against
the county. The case was appealed
to the supreme court, and upon
their decision rests the question,
not only for Mr.. Culver and Fayette
county, but probably for most of the
Iowa counties.

when Sheriff Qualley was notified
of his escape from the sheriff at
Garner, he put his private detective
system to work and soon located
him at Burr Oak, but before he
could be arrested had left there.
Then Qualley started out afer him
and soon located him at Preston,
Mimi, where he arrested him and
brought him to DEBORAH, lodging
him in jail until the sheriff of Han
cock county could come after him.

IOWA LOSES GREAT EDUCATOR
X. G. Barrett, Formerly a Student
and Teacher in DEBORAH, Dies
at Des Moines After Opera
ton

Richard G. Barrett, M. A. LII. B.,
who died as a result of an operation
at Des Moines Thursday, was for
years one of Iowa's foremost edu-
Gators.
The educational forces of the state
are deprived of one who had
scarcely reached the zenith of in
fiuence. His services have been of
the utmost value to Iowa.
Mr. Barrett was born at Waverly,
Iowa, in 1868. He spent his life in
this state, and began his career as
an educator when remarkably young,
serving as a teacher in two or three
small schools near Waverly. When
he was 10 he taught in Prof. Brock
enridge's institute at DEBORAH, and
then assumed the principalship of
the Riceville school. At about the
age of 25 he was elected county
superintendent of Mitchell county,
and spent ten years in that capacity
before beng elected state superir-
tendent to succeed Henry Sabin.
In this position he spent three terms
or six years and then was offered
the chair of political science at the
Iowa state college at Ames, Iowa,
which he accepted. He had been
at Ames since 1904 as head of the
political science department and
chairman of the committee on en-
trance requirements.
He was only 46 years of age
when his death came When the
news of his demise flashed over the
state it elicted numberless sorrow
full tributes from men who nave
Known him for years. and had moth
ing for his character and his worl:
save the highest admiration.

his education at Lawrenceville

at a farm near Derrick, this county.
The dead body of the girl was found
in the house where Mrs. Wright work
ed she being the only person about
the house from the time the girl was
last seen alive. The defense under
took to show that the little girl was
subject to heart failure, and that she
died from natural causes. The state
maintained that the girl was murder
ed, and there was circumstantial evil
dence introduced to bear out this
theory.
After celebrating several hours, the
jury which tried the case brought in
a verdict of guilty of manslaughter In
the first degree, the penalty of which
is five years in the penitentiary.
Sentence was passed, being fixed by
the law at five years in the peni-
tentiary. a-..
1t is understood that no appeal will
be taken.

According to. Paris contemporary,
her majesty, as a young girl, had a
passion for collecting lace, and she
still follows her hobby, The handker-
chief in question is an example of the
toward the end of the fifteenth century
about the time the act was introduced
into the city of the Doges. The lace,

Washington, April 20.-A conference
attended by President Howard Elliott
of the Northern Pacific railwoy, Land
Agent Cooper of st. Paul; r. r. Bal
linger, secretary of the interior, and
Land Commissioner bennett, developed
today that ii will require an act Of
congress to adjust the land controyer-
sizes of the Northern Pacific in Mon
tana and Idaho.
Much of the land covered by grant
to the railroad has been classified as
mineral land. AS such 1t cannot be
held by the railroad. This classifica-
ton cannot be changed unless an act
of congress makes provision therefore.
1t is understood that the department
of the interior and the railroad repre-
sentatives reached an agreement rel
ative to the legal status Of land in
controversy and that future legisIa-
tion asked for will be endorsed by both
sides OF the controversy.
