three days labor, .and perhaps more

hopeless.
Waiting for Death.
JACKSON, Cal.. Aug. 28. Down at
the bottom of the great Argonaut gold
mine, nearly a mile ibelow the surface
of this storied Jackson country, forty
eight miners, trapped by a fire In the
blind tunnels above them tonight wait
ed for the selfsame fire to end their
lives, if it has not already done so.
Above them one baffled rescue crew
is trying to plumb the depths with air
hose, while In the adjoining Kennedy
mine, another crew, driving like mail
with picas, shovels, and drills, is at
tempting to tear out a thick concrete
barrier that blocks the tunnel between
the two workings.
Rescue Crew Arrives.
FreRh Impetus was added to the res
cue work with the arrival or the gov
ernment rescue crew from Berkeley,
headed by B. Pickard, engineer, of
the United States bureau of mines.
Other rescue crews were on the way
tonight from Nevada mining points.
From the best information obtain
able the entombed men are between
the 4500 and 4800 foot levels, while
the main body of the fire Is more than
1000 feet above them. As a last des
perate hope a tunnel could be bored
from the Kennedy to the Argonaut
shafts below the point where the pres
ent blocked up tunnel is located, ac
cording to experts, but this perhaps
would be the work of days. A lower
tunnel. It was pointed out, might also
have a' tendency to draw the fire fur
ther down Into the Argonaut's shaft.

The first opposition to the union
submissions came when six eastern
railroads refused to recognize the
union appeal on the ground that rail
road shopmen, including some of the
malnlenance men, were on strike.
B. P. Grable, president of the track
men, who with W. L. McMenlmen,
and Chairman Hooper of the labor
board was credited with holding the
strike In chock when the shopmen
threw down their tools, opened the
hearing by presenting the demand for
a minimum wage of 4 8 cents an hour.
The scale provided by the board's
July l decision, which slashed "0,-
000.000 from the railroad's mainte
nance pay-roll, ranged from 23 to 3!
cents. This. Mr. Grable declared, was
less than a living wage.
The maintenance employes based
their claims for higher wages on In

WIFE OF VICTIM
HAS MUCH NERVE
Third Point in Eternal triangle
Coolly Relates the
Story of Killing.
LOVER WAS MURDERER
Husband is Shot During Fight In He
tel Room Wher His Wife was
Living With Another Man
Woman Defend Lover.
PORTLAND, Aug. 29. Her husband
coldly slain, her lover in jail, facing a
first-degree murder charge, Mra. Geo.
Gramatti, comely matron of 35 years,
reclined on her bed in the city jail
Sunday and greeted reporters with a
smile.
Beside her prattled her 8 year old
son, Nick, a witness to the fray early
Sunday morning in which his father
was shot while In the Everett hotel.
There were no Indications of weep
ing in the woman's eyes, and there
was no tremor in her voice. In the
same calm, cool manner In which she
related the history of the triangle of
herself, her husband and Nick Doltes,
which ended In .a tragedy, to Deputy
District Attorney .John MowTy, she
retold the story to the reporters.
Doltes Is held as Gramatti's slayer.
The story dates back four years, ac
cording to Mrs. Gramatti's statements
to Mowry and to the press. In 1918,
Nick Doltes went to Onuluskn, Wash.,
as a laborer and obtained employment
on the railroad under Gramatti, who
waa roadmaster at the time.
Discharged, Fails To Go. '
Doltes and Gramatti grew friendly,
both of them being Greeks, and Doltes
was a frenuent visitor to the Gram
attl home. After some months of
friendly relations. Gramatti released
Doltes from his Job and told hltn to
go. Doltes did not go, however, but
stayed around Ona'.-.ksa until he was
given his Job back. , . ,
In the meantime. Doltes strengthen
ed his relationship with Gramatti's
wife and the pair became more than
friendly. Gramatti saw the state, of
affairs that existed between his wife
and Doltes, but made no protest to the
laborer. There were times. Mrs. Gram
atti said, when her husband remon
strated with her. but made no violent
threats. On the contrary, he kept
Doltes in his employ and never re
fused to allow him to visit the house.
Mrs. Gramatti has four sons. Nick,
8 venrs old. who came to Portland
with her: Jnmes. B. John. 4. and nr-
ren. who Is hut 14 months old. THe
habv, according to statements hv both
finite nd Mrs. Gramsttl. to Mowry.
Is not Gramatti's son, but the son of
Doltes.
Offered No Objection.
Mrs. Grsmmattl said her husband
knew of this, but did not seem to oo-
1oct. He never mentioned this fact to
Doltes. his wife said, and sne seemeo
to thmk Uiere was nothing wrong,
with It.
There was harmony among the
three, until about a counle of weeks
am), when Nick again lost his job. He
left Onalsska, stating to his friends
that he was going to Ban Francisco.
According to Mrs. Grwnattl's signed
confession, she and Doltes arranged,
before he left Onnlaska. for him to
come to Portland, where she would
follow In a couple of days. A meeting
was arranged, she said, the the plan
wss carried out without a hitch.
They met In Portland and stayed In
the Broadwav hotel. Thev had separ
ate rooms, she said, i and all went well
until this past week, when thev moved
to the Everett hotel. The pslr regis
tered as mnn and wife under the name
of C. C. Griggs. The 8 year old son
slept In the same room with them.
Husband I Seen.
. On Saturday night neither Doltes
nor Mrs. Gramatti retired early, stat
ing to the police they did not do so
because It WaiTtoo hot. The officials
fpfve. however, they had word that
Gramatti was In Portland. Early Run
day morning. Mrs. Oramattl was sit
tine beside a window In their room,
and saw her husband across the street.
A couple of minutes later, he entered
the hotel, went to the room where the
rounle were registered and knocked
on the door.
He was given entrance, and with
only a glance around the room, went
to the bed where his son was sleeping.
Arousing hltn. he told him to dress,
stating he would be going away soon.
When Gramatti arose irom tno neu
side, he turned to fare Doltes. Mrs.
Gramatti told Mowry there were words
between them, but they were spoken
in Greek, which she does not under
stand. From this point on until the
fatal shot was fired, Doltes and Mrs.
Gramatti have different stories. The
wife of the murdered man told Mowry
there was no struggle, while Doltes
maid Gramatti grabbed him by the
inerk and started tn choke him.
"I pulled the gun because I didn't
'want to take a chance," Doltes said,
;arrdlng to Mowry. .
When the police arrived, Doltes wss
I gone, and Gramatti lay on the floor
I with sheet over him. His wire sat
'on the bed few feet away and greet-

tion. George A. Mansfield, president
of the Oregon State Farm Bureau,
will be the principal speaker and will
have a message that will be well
worth hearing. Mr. Mansfield is a
forceful and eloquent speaker and
Is thoroughly Informed on all of the
national matters pertaining to the
agricultural Industry. Derause of his
official position and the close touch
which he keeps on the various meas
ures before congress, and the action
taken nationally regarding farmers
and their work, he gives much vain
able Information which will prove of
benefit to all who are present and
hear hlra speak. The committee tee's
very fortunate that he has been ob

ber drawn to the picnle to obtain the
instruction he will be ablo to give.
Mr. Hercher also announces that
another good speaker has been pro

be plenty of meat for everyone. Dread
and coffee will also be obtainable on
the grounds. Those attending the
rieiile will bring well-filled haske a
which will be augmented by the bar
becued meat and other refreshments
to be obtained on the picnic grounds.
In the afternoon a fast baseball
game will be played between the
Hoseburg and Yoncalla ball teams.
These are two of the fastest teams In
the county, and both have excellent
records for the season's work, Altho
the Hoseburg team got away with a
poor start, they finished the season
in whlrlwtnd fashion, winning all
four of the last games played. The
team Is tn excellent condition and is
ready to play air-tight ball. Yonral
la's team Is well-known throughout
the county. It is a veteran baseball
organization and Yoncalla Ii proud
of the reputation Its ball players have
made this year, and In past seasons.
There Is no question but that Satur

long way to see. ...
In addition to the baseball game.
there will be races, athletic contests
and sport of all kinds, for the re
