British and French
Premiers Disagree
Lloyd George Opposes Estab.
.lishment of Customs
Barrier on Rhine.

London, Aug. 9.-(By A. Pas
result of a three-hour conversation
between Premier Poincaire and Mr..
Lloyd George, the British prime min
lister, today, it was decided to refer
back to the committee of experts
Premier Poincare's plan for control
of German finances, with the request
that the points upon which the Brit
ish and French are not in agreement
be re-examined.
Mr.. Lloyd George agreed to the
French suggestion regarding the COL
lection of 26 per cent of German ex-
ports at its frontiers, which would
be paid into reparations funds. He
also agreed to the suggestion for
taking over the state forests and
mines in German occupied territory.
The important points on which the,
two premiers were unable to agree
were the establishment of customs
barrier along the Rhine providing for
duties OH everything going into and
coming from the Ruhr region, the
principal purpose being to tax coal
going to the rest of Germany, and
allied participation in German indus
trial concerns.
Although the conversation took
place without the appearance of any
personal aspersions, both the pre-
miers were described as tenaciously
holding their respective viewpoints.
The British cabinet will meet to-
morrow to consider the situation
growing out of the conference it was
announced this afternoon. 1t was
announced at the same time Premier
Poincare will consult with his COL
leagues.

Gravel Pit at Kearney
Shows Traces of Oil

Kearney, Neb., Aug. 9.-(Special.) }
Someone recently discovered oil
seepage on and about the Herbert
gravel pit. The news leaked out and
for the next few hours the gravel pit
was the most popular spot in or near
Kearney. Everyone nursed visions
of fortunes made over night and a
pessimist in that crowd would GER
tainly have invited a ducking.
Serious-minded individuals in the
crowd sent for an oil expert to find
out just what the gravel pit and ad-
jacent grounds hold forth as a pros
pecting field for oil.
Similar traces of oil have been no.
ticeable for years along the Platte
channel, but none have ever ventured
to shoot any dollars into prospecting
or development.

proval of the stand of the railroad
executives in demanding that the
seniority rights of the men now
working in the railroad shops be
protected was voiced here this after

President Harding should urge such
an amendment to the railroad labor
act "as would make the decision of
