night.
The miners accepted Governor Gif.

on three important features. The
operators had already accepted.
A Joint meeting Of the union rep

was signed.
John L. Lewis, international presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers,
will be asked by both the governor
and the operators 10 issue an i'm
mediate order sending the men back
into the pits.
Lewis Opposes Move.
Lewis, 1t is known. opposes such
a move, but Il was believed the gov
ernor would bring sufficient pressure
to bear. changing his attitude.
An order sending the nAn back into
the mines would take from three TO
six days 10 deliver and put into full
force. The miners have been on
strike since September 1.
The agreement of the miners was
preceded by rumors coming from the
room where Lewis conferred with his
scale committee-4o miners direct
from the fields-that the workers
were opposed TO a continuation OF
the strike in the face Of the operators
agreement TO pay higher wages.

Brass
Rapid City Man Becomes
Wildly Excited at Finding
Nuggets" in Water
Pail.
Only Practic a | Joke

Rapid City, S. D., Sept. 7. - The
planting of brass filings in a water
pail caused Amos b. Kellogg, proprie-
tor OF local laundry. to believe he
had made an important gold strike
when he found nuggets" in the bot
tom of the water pail used at the
cabin where he and his family and
another man and wife have been
camping, the cabin being situated on
Spring creek, in the eastern part of
the Black Hills.
The nuggets" were both rough and
smooth. some of them indicating
much wearing by water. Kellogg took
the matter so seriously that Charles
Radcliffe, who had "salted" the water
pail with the brass filings, finally had
to tell him the truth. Nevertheless
Kellogg Is said to have insisted on
filing a placer mining claim on the
land adjoining the creek where he had
discovered the gold"
After making the filing he returned
to the new gold diggings." where
Radcliffe had a short time previously
planted some more of the brass I'LL
ings. They showed when the water
was dipped up.
II scraped the bottom that time"
shouted Kellogg. Look what we got.
Some big round nuggets" were in
the lot. Kellogg now is aware OF the
joke. but in order to cohyince him.
Radcliffe had to show him some of
the brass filings and have his story
verified by the proprietor OF the ma
chine shop where he obtained the I'LL
ings.
whsn placed in water brass filings
would easily fool an expert miner into
believing they were gold until tested,
it is said. In connection with this In
incident II Is said that II the early day
mine "salters" had been able 10 get
modern brass filings the Black Hills
would have been sold over and over
again.

Two Men Buried,
One Killed When

Body of Workman on Sewer
Construction Project Re-
covered Two Hours
After Collapse.

Two men were buried. one Of whom
was instantly killed. when the north
wall OF n 12-foot sewer trench being
dug at Sixty-second street and Pop
pleton avenue caved In without warn
ing at 1870 yesterday afternoon.
John La Greco, Twelfth and Mar

tic efforts on the part of his fellow
workmen, who labored with picks and
shovels to extricate him from liv-
ing tomb.
He Is dazed by the shock. but other
wise apparently uninjured. He has
wife and four children.
Body OF Osey West. Ninth street
and Capitol avenue. was recovered
after two hours OF constant digging.
The body was found by Elmer Wright,
Sixty-third and Hickory streets. who
had been digging almost constantly
since the accident occurred. The
trench Is so narrow that it was al
most impossible for more than one
man to work at time.
County Coroner Paul Steinwender
was notified by police who went to
the spot in answer to an emergency
call.
Witnesses said the slide OF earth
came without warning. and too sud
denly to permit the two workmen In
the trench to escape. The sewer was
being dug by the Omaha Construc-
ton company with the aid of a ditch
digging machine. One brace had
been placed In a newly excavated por-
tion. and n second brace was being
placed by the two men In the trench.
A water main was recently installed
Just west of the sewer trench. and
II IL believed the newly disturbed
earth had not had time to settle and
become packed. Vibration caused by
the operation of the heavy ditch-d dig
ging machine consequently dislodeed
large section of the wall of the
trench.
J. +. Calabria, 221o Poppleton ave

trench, while Osey was at the bot

MINERS AND OPERATORS MEET PINCHOT'S TERMS
KEITH NEVILLE MUST GIVE UP OMAHA PACKING PLANT
Nebraska Farm Leader Backs
Wheat Plan for Japanese
Double Benefit, Food for Earthquake Refugees and
Improved Prices for Growers Would Result,
Harry L. Keefe Declares.

Walthill, Neb., Sept. THE farm
ers of Nebraska are behind the plan
broached by The Omaha Bee to send
flour instead of rice to Japan. More
over, the full strength OF numerous
agricultural organizations is to be
enlisted in the movement.
Harry l.. Keefe, president of the
Nebraska Farm Bureau federation,
upon reading of the plan in The Oma-
ha Bee, today stamped 1t with the
approval of his organization. He I'M
mediately sent of two kilograms, one
to President Coolidge and the other
to O. e. Bradfute, national president
of the American Farm Bureau fedora
tion, with headquarters in Chicago.
Tho message to Mr.. Bradfute, in
which it is predicted that purchase of
large quantities of wheat products to
be sent to earthquake sufferers. would
stabilize wheat prices at fair level,
follows:
''The information has reached
me today that The Omaha Bee has
requested by wire that the Japa-
anese relief authorities purchase
flour and other foods for the re-
lief in Japan of the sufferers Of the
quake disaster. At first thought,
this might seem like a small item
of demand for the products Of mid
west farmers, but upon investiga-
tion, l find that 1t is an item Of
vast proportions, and that II the
food products of the midwest farm
ers are made available to supply
these needs, with the least posi-.
BILE delay, It will add materially to
the demand, and thereby stimulate
the price. This Is very important
and l believe il should be acted
upon at once.

Poor Showing
of Farm Exhibits
at Nebraska Fair
Only 13 Counties Have Dis
plays, Although Many
Others Had Reserved
Space in Advance.
BY p. c. POWELL.
staff Correspondent Tho Omaha Bee.

Lincoln, Sept. Failure of the
agricultural exhibits to make the
showing expected was the only criti-
cism leveled this year at the 55th
annual state fair which closed off,
cially at this afternoon.
The fair apparently has been sue
cess financially as well as from an
attendance standpoint. There were
only 13 counties with exhibits, a less
number than last year. The big, new
agricultural hall really looked bare
10 many visitors.
A much larger set Of exhibits was
expected by T. 3. Keedle of Minden,
superintendent. Nine counties that
requested space in agricultural hall
failed to put In an appearance. Fhey
are Perkins. Rock. Howard, Greeley.
Sherman, Garfield. Antelope, Sheri-
dan and Frontier.
Heavy hail just before the fair
opened caused some to withdraw,
Keedle explained. Reasons for other
Withdrawals have not been explained.
While the number Of exhibits were
fewer, il is only fair to state that
those who did exhibit had better stun
than In many years.
Difficulties to Overcome.
while intense interest and pride in
agriculture and its exhibits in an in
tensely agricultural state like Ne
braska is essential. there are certain
difficulties to overcome in agricultural
exhibits not experienced In others.
First is the expense. No one indi-
vidual or set of individuals can stand
the expense. unless extraordinary pub
lie spirit is shown. 1t takes a com
munity effort.
SECOND. Is the recompense. Take
exhibitors at the livestock shows.
Every exhibitor who wins ribbon
or a prize also wins many added dol
lars in the breeding and sale OF his
animals. 1t Is a money-making prop,
osition for individual exhibitors.
Douglas county was the prize win
ner for the eastern section; kearney
for the central section; Kimball. west
ern and Dawson for the irrigated sec
ton.
Webster county boys won In live
stock judging contests, with Adams
and Cass counties tied for second
place. Other counties contesting
were: Polk, Hamilton, Gage, York
Washington, Valley. Clay, Thayer.
Saline. Dawson. Buffalo, Furnace.
Pierce, Dodge and Boone.
Baby Prize Winners.
In the baby contest the following
were prize winners:
Lawrence Russell Jappert, Lincoln.

Erma Marie Walker, Osceola, grand
