FIVE DIE IN MINE FIRE.
Victims Burned or Suffocated in Col.
orado Shaft.

Trinidad, Col, May 21.-Five min.
.ers. including Superintendent Alexan.
der Jacobs. were burned or suffocated
in the Engleville mine at Engleville,
Col.
The men went to work Sunday
night. and when they did not come
out Monday morning an investigation
was started. 1t was discovered that
fire, which broke out in the mine a
year ago and was still burning in
some sections. had suddenly spread
and swept across the incline tunnel,
cutting the men off and preventing
them from reaching the outside.
The point from where the flames
crossed the tunnel is three miles from
the opening, and it was necessary to
dig a temporary tunnel around the
fire in order to reach the bodies Of
the Inflated miners.
The Engleville mine Is one Of the
oldest coal-producing mines in Colo.
RADIO, having been operated for 30
years.

YOUNG FIELD NO MoLLvcoooLE
Heir to Vast Fortune Learns. to Heave
Coal Aboard Ship.

London-Young Marshall Field, one
of the wealthiest boys in the world, is
no "mollycoddle,' there is nothing of
the effete plutocrat about him. Re-
Gently his mother sent him from
Monte Carlo to England in charge of
a governess, for it was time for him
to return to Elton. Crossing the chan
mel the governess was very seasick
and young Field in the course of his
explorations descended. to the stoke
hold, where the ships fires are fed.
He made fast friend of a stoker,
who, without suspecting who the
youngster was, became kind and
friendly enough to instruct him in the
mystery of heaving coal.
There was a hue and cry all over
the ship for him and when the boy
was finally discovered anxiety was
turned to mirth, for he looked like a
chimney sweep, his hair and eyes be.
Ing filled with coal dust and his fine
clothes torn
The boy does not progress in his
studies too fast, for his fond mother
yields to his least complaint and gives
him too many inopportune holidays.
He did not like Rugby. Mrs. Field
sent him to Elton, although she. had
engaged a house at Ashby St. Leger,
near Rugby. When he was equipped

ABATE Loss OF LIVES
GOVERNMENT TO MAKE STUDY
OF MINE DISASTERS. -
Expert on Explosives to Conduct a
Series Of Tests with a View to
Making Toll Underground
Less Dangerous.

ashington.-Scientif1c study of the
causes of mine disasters has been I'M
dertaken by the fuel division of the
great loss of life in the mines of this
country may be abated. Clarence
Hall, an expert on explosives has re-
turned from trip to England and Bel
GUM, where mine owners, miners. the
government and the manufacturers of
explosives cooperate in an effort to
prevent explosions.
Experiments there show that many
accidents are due to coal dust rather
than gas. Plans have been made by
the fuel division to erect, probably
near Pittsburg, an experiment station
where tests will be made of various
dynamites and blasting powders to de-
termine their safety in the presence
of deadly fire damp and coal gas. Ex-
plosives will be hurled from a mortar
into a large steel boiler plate 100 feet
long and six feet in diameter charged
with fire damp and air or coal dust
and air. If ignition fails the explo-
sives will be known as permissible
explosives
The mine operators of the country
will be urged to use them. Safety
valves will be placed all along the top
of the climber and will be left unfas-
tened In such a manner that when
there is an explosion the valves will
fly open on their hinges. A series of
portfolios on the side covered with
one-half inch glass will enable those
conducting the experiments to wit
ness the explosion from the observa-
ton house, 60 feet away. While these
tests are being conducted operators
and miners will be invited to be pres
ent.
Another branch of the experimental
work will be conducted in a miniature
coal mine. Miners will be there taught
the art of saving the lives of their fell
low men. Hundreds of lives could be
saved in gas explosions were 1t pos
sible for the rescue parties to enter
Immediately following the accident.
The menacing bank of fire damp, how
ever, often holds the relief work back
for hours, while the entombed workers
slowly suffocate or helplessly await
the approach Of devouring flames.
The government experts have found
in Europe an apparatus which, when
worn by members of rescue party,
permits them in safety to enter any
place where there is gas. 1t consists

Los Angeles, CAL, May ga fiend-

trated near here Wednesday that re-
suited in the death of one man and
the injury of % persons, four of whom
are dying.
Train No. 20, one of the Southern
Pacific's coast line flyers, due here at
nine o'clock Tuesday night, was hurl-
ed from the tracks on a trestle at
West Glendale, ten miles north of
here, at ~: 80 a. m. Wednesday by the
deliberate work of murderous train
wreckers. Seven cars plunged off the
trestle, while the train was making 40
miles an hour, falling 16 feet to the
bottom of a gulch.

Offering $4,000 for the arrest and con-
viction of the person or persons re-
sponsible for the wreck. The officials
announced that they had no clew what.

Fishplates and Bolts Removed.
In accomplishing the wreck of the
train; which was the Coast Line Linn
ited." devilish ingenuity was exer-
cised. At point on a trestle over the
Arroyo Seco the tishplates and bolts
of two connecting rails on the south
bound track had been removed, and
in the apertures whence the bolts
were taken strands of heavy wire were
fastened at the end of each rail.
From the appearance of the track
after the wreck it was evident that
some person hidden on hillside close
to the trestle had pulled the wire as
the train approached and spread the
rails outward toward the edge of the
trestle. -.
The train, three hours late, was
travelling at rate Of between IS and
40 miles an hour. The engine wheels
were first to leave the rails. and the
engine took to the ties, travelling near
ly 100 yards before it was, brought to q
standstill. 80
Cars Turned Upside Down. :
The tender, the diner, two Pullmans,
the buffet, and baggage cars plunged
over the edge of the trestle, falling a
distance of 16 feet. The buffet car,
the express car; and one of the Pull
mans turned upside down and others
landed on their sides. All were badly
crushed and splintered.
The man killed was T. ]. Mcmahon
of Santa Barbara, a member of the
Electrical Workers union. He is be-
lieved to have been stealing a ride
on the baggage car, and had as his
companion Frank Naylor, 15-year-
old boy from Santa Barbara who was
fatally injured.
Several Victims May not Recover.
Among the others who were injured
were the following:
Mrs. Shidler, Los Angeles, injured

FERTILIZER MEN GAIN POINT
Officers of SO-caIIed Trust Ordered
Released by supreme Court.


The prosecution Of the so-called fertil-
lzer trust for violation OF the Sherman
antitrust law received a temporary set
back yesterday. when the Supreme Court
ordered the release of the ten directors
and members Of the Vlrginia-North Caro-
lima Chemical Company, residents of Yir-
GINA, whose extradition 10 Tennessee for
trial had been decreed by the Federal
Court IN Virginia. In addition to the trust
itself, the indictment included thirty cor
porations. two partnerships. and twenty
five individuals. including ten of the latter
who were citizens Of virginia. namely,
James G. Tinsley, William De c. Kesler.
Samuel T. Morgan, Austin 3. Carpenter,
Fortesque Whites. Frank 5. Royster, J.
Rice Smith. Charles +. Burroughs. and
Charles II. Mcdowell.
In the proceedings for eXtradition the
government offered a certified copy of the
indictment which the United States dis
trict Judge, acting as committing magis-
trate. held was conclusive evidence OF
probable guilt following the Virginia law,
and refused to hear any evidence on their
plea that as they had never been in the
State Of Tennessee they could not be ex-
tradited for committing a crime therein,
ard ordered their removal for trial.
They then brought habeas corpus pro-
ceedngs before the Federal Circuit judge,
who held the certified copy Of the indict-
mcnt was sufficient proof of probable
guilt. declined 10 hear any evidence on
their plea. and dismissed their petitions.
From that judgment appeals were brought
to the Supreme Court on claims of denial
of constitutional rights.
The courts opinion. I'm reversal, was de-
livered by Chief Justice Fuller.
