Cerrillos, n. NJ, Feb. 5.--A fire at
the Cook & White coal mine at Madrid
operated by the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company, caused the death of two Ital-
ians and did much damage to the prop

burned to within 80 feet Of a chamber
filed with gas, and should this point
be reached, an explosion would follow
that would wreck the property. All
openings leading to the mine have been
closed, the fans stopped and all avail
able water turned into the mine, which
it is expected will be flooded in three
or four days.

Clark. He has been N the Federal

a very influential and popular man in

ment and large experience in public
affairs. He has been for several years
the chairman OF the National demo-
cratic committee. and rendered very
efficient and faithful service as such.
He is a democrat of long tried and un-
faltering type. He has managed to
arouse suspicion and opposition that
proves not only formidable, but sue
cessful. Ex-Gov. Jones recently
charged him with duplicity in a matter
concerning himself. But the main
Of his defeat is his identification
with what is known as the Round

that this was really a trust. and a

nents pressed their point with con-

remarks of the alleged trusts:
The Arkansas senator's political
foes charged that while he was 'agin
the trusts in public, he was not hostile
to them in private. They discovered
a corporation known as the Round
Cotton Bale Company, in which Mr..
Jones held stock. This corporation.

Jones had no right to be identified
