pany, died last night, following an
accident in which~he was caught in a
cave-in OF some dirt in one OF tho
pits. The man died at his home
where he had been taken after the
accident. No one seems to know
how the accident occurred, and the
coroner's jury found verdict of accl'
dental death at the heraing today.
Conover was digging in pit not
more than seven feet deep when some
of the earth began to slide. He was
covered by dirt, only UP to his waisl,
ard it was estimated by one of the
men, that all of the dirt in the slide
could have been put in an eight bushel
box Conover was extricated from
the pit, and taken home for medical
attention He was conscious all of
the time.
Five minutes after he was gotten
home, he died. He leaves wife and
three children. The family came to
Hamilton from Lima, Illinois, year

Coroner Lummis Of Augusta was
notified and held the inquest today.
The jury finds that death was due to
an accident. This is the first accf
dent that the company has had, and
no one can find any explanation OF
tragedy.

Campaign 10 Teach Everyone to
Take Care of Himself in
Wafer Bears Fruit

Keokui1 has had record-breaking
season in the way of drownings in,
either the river, lake. bathing beaches
or pools for there have been none. Such
condition is no doubt due in part at
least to the fact that Keokuk people
are taking pains to learn how to swim
and take care of themselves when out
in the water.
Conservative figures show that 1900
boys have been taught this art in the
Y. M. G.. A. pool in the last twelve
years in the free swimming classes
which have been conducted there each
vacation time Since the pool was
built This does not include the great
number OF men and boys who have
learned how" there during the regu-
lar class work in the winter months.
The girls and women have gone IN
for it too and have made splendid pro-
gress during the last four years since
they have been allowed admittance to
the Y. M. c. A. pool and been given
Instructions by experts on the sub
ect. Over 400 women joined these
classes in the last four years and they
learned to swim.
Supervised bathing beaches did
their part also this summer more so
than ever before, In teaching people
how not to drown and perhaps this Is
another reason why such places and
why swimming have been constantly
increasing in popularity.
Experts Praise Sport.
Everyone seems to be In favor OF
this sport and persons who especially
appreciate it tell why. The secre-
taries and physical directors, both OF
the Y. M. c. A. and the Y. W. c. A. are
in favor Of teaching people how to
swim When asked their opinions on
the matter here are some of the things
they said:
Miss Bayley. the general secretary
OF the Y. w. C. A., answered empha-
tically in the affirmative on the sub
ject and she said. ooh. indeed I do
approve Of swimming and want
pool for our building and many OF the
girls want a pool too
The physical director there, Miss
Cervenka, answered favorably to the
inquiry as to whether or not swim
ming was healthful exercise and she
replied, Swimming enlarges lung ca.
pacity II not over-done. / advise all
women to learn how to SWIM"

Hitchcock is said to have become
convinced that the republicans have
mustered a majority for reservations
recently proposed by the foreign rela-
tons committee. Mild and strong
reseryationists have agreed to sup
port the preamble which would re-
uuire express assent of at least three
leading allied powers to the senate
reservations.
This together with Article 10 reser-
walton are construed by some admin
istration leaders as amounting to
amendments in effect although not in
form.
Whether the democratic forces are
ready to vote against final ratifica-
ton on those conditions is the ques-
ton to be tfreshed out at the con-
ference today. Senate leaders on
both sides are expecting final
showdown on reservations before the
end Of next week.

of the union from furthering the

The petition was to be presented
in accordance with the court rule
that such appeals must be- made two
days in advance of arguments The
Injunction Is to be argued Saturday.
By taking this action; the miners
will be assuming the offensive in the
legal battle started in federal court

The miners representatives will
also ask modification of the restrain

will petition the court to allow the
union to pay strike benefits, prevent
ed under the restraining order.
The miners will base their request
on the contention that the restrain

with the intention of exempting la

attorneys will also contend, was
