Five Lives Lost in a Fire in New
Hampshire.

Dover. n. II. Especially .-Dover's
most disastrous fire, which occurred
SATURDAY, cost the lives Of four and
probably five young mill operatives
and a property loss of half a million
dollars. The fire destroyed Mill No.
l of the Cocheco Manufacturing
Company. The bodies of four boys,
charred beyond hope of Identification,
were found in the smoking ruins,
and. as five boys are known to be
missing, it is believed that another
body Will be discovered.
Several OF the injured were hurt
while descending by ropes.
The fire broke out in the mill not
long after the 500 or more opera
tives had assembled for their DAYS
work. Friction from a belt generat-
ed sparks which lodged in a mass of
cotton and the flames quickly spread
throughout the building. The exits
soon became blocked by a struggling
mass of mill hands, and many we're
obliged to jump from the windows.
Others secured ropes and descended
to the ground.
There were several daring rescues
by firemen. Four imprisoned men
on the fourth floor were taken out Of
window, though not until they had
climbed one by one down a stout
pole which the firemen had made
fast to the top of ladder too short
to reach the window sill.

San Francisco (SpeciaD The
earthquake clause upon which many
OF the insurance companies based
their refusal to pay the full amount

which occurred about $50 Saturday
evening.
Immediately following the explo-
sion the mine caved in and nearly
caused the entombment of all the
miners, estimated at 100. The
bodies OF IL dead men have been
recovered, and it is not known at
this time whether any others met
death.
The bodies of several Italians have
also been recovered, but as they are
known only by numbers, their iden-
tity is not possible until later.
The explosion occurred just as the
day force was leaving the mine.
only few of the men had reached
the surface when. with q terrific re-
port, the fire damp exploded. The
mine elevator had just started for
the top, carrying about 20 men, and
almost so men were still at the bot
tom OF the shaft. Immediately there
was a panic among the men still in
the mine.
There was but one direction in
which they could run, and this was
back into the drift. From this direc-
ton, however, a strong flow of gas
was slowly enveloping them. AL
most suffocated, they huddled close
ly together and cried pitifully up the
shaft for assistance.
Several rescuers took possession of
the elevator car and quickly ran it
down into the shaft. There was ac-
commodation for about 20 of the
men at the time, however, and the
foreign miners, who were crazed
from fright, fought like demons to
board the car, greatly retarding the
work of rescue. The car was finally
loaded and run to the top.
With great precision and Quickness
the elevator continued to make trips
until all the men at the bottom Of
the shaft were brought to the sur
face. On the last two trips a majori-
ty of the miners were unconscious
and had TO be carried from the car.
The five Americans and seven Ital-
ians VINO were killed were found
about 100 feet back in the mine. Ap-
parently, the II men had been over
come with gas and died. as their
bodies were not burned

CHILDREN ARE PROMOTERS OF
MARITAL. HAPPINESS

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-The childless
marriage breeds contempt between hus,
band and wife and is one of the most
prolific causes of divorce, according
to statistics computed by Judge VIII
lard McEwen, who hears more tales If
domestic woe in one month than do all
the other judges of the superior court
combined. Since the death of the late
Judge Gary, Judge McEwen has had
an opportunity to MAKE psychological
study of the divorce problem, and he
hears an average of ninety suits for
legal separation each month.
Figures compiled by the jurist
shows that out of 200 applications for
decrees which were presented since
November Is, in 125 eases conjugal
unhappiness was the outcome of a
childless home.
A table kept by Judge McEwen dur
ing the last two months shows the fol-
lowing to be the causes for the DEGREES
which he has granted to the 200 per
sons who have appeared before him:
