LARGE COTTON MILL
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Dover, N H., Jan. 26.-Mill No. 1
of the extensive plant Of the Cocheo
Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of
cotton goods, was burned today, caus-
ing a financial loss estimated at be-
tween $50O,OO0 and $600,00,, and pos
sibly loss of life. The fire, the origin
of which is not known, broke out af-
ter the five hundred operatives began
work, and spread rapidly. Several men
and women jumped from windows sus
tanning injuries. Others were taken
from windows in the upper stories.
The persons thus rescued reported
that some had been overcome by
smoke in the burning building, and
the firemen Immediately began a
search which was without result un-
til the flames drove them outside the
walls. Meanwhile the officials of the
mill are trying to locate all the en-
ployees.
Six bodies have been found in the
ruins. They were those of boys en-
ployed in the mule room.

The Socialists who had 81 out of %
Saxon seats have only been victorious
in seven districts.
The rebuff of the Socialists has as
toaished everybody. While the gener-
al result of the election has been in
doubt, nearly everybody believed that
40 matter how other parties Jared
the Socialists would gain. The extent
of their defeat is now the only ques-
ton. The prediction is made that
their claim of three million support
ers will be cut in half Most of the

Amarillo, Tex, Jan. 26.-The hear
ing of Amarillo's case was resumed
before the Interstate Commerce Com
missio1ers this morning. The testi
mony of several prominent real es
tate dealers showing that the in
crease in cultivated land all over the
Panhandle had been from one to five
hundred per cent il the past two
years was offered. Amarillo asks that
she be put on the same basis as Qua
nah, which is 40 miles east, as Anna
rillo is natural distributing point
for the Panhandle country. Commis-
sioner Prouty ruled that the Amarillo
suit was not sufficiently specific il
it's allegations, and that in order to
decide the case an amendment would
nave to be filed giving each class and
commodity, and reasons why the
rates to Amarillo should be on the
same basis as Texas common points.
Judge Cowan asked that the case be
continued for hearing at Ft. Worth.
The Pecos Valley cases were taken
up. Avery Turner was placed on the
stand, and testified that the cost of
the Pecos Valley lines was about
$40, 1000 per mile. On ross-questioning
by Judge Cowal, ne admitted that
he did not know what price was paid
for the P. v. lines. Mr.. Cowan re-
quested Mr. Turner to bring in state
of hlm
p. v. lines and what part of the to-
tai receipts was charged to each di
vision.
H. R. Morrow was placed on the
stand, and testified that the cost per
mile of the P. V. lines originally did
not exceed $500 per mile.
r. H. Kemp, the Roswell lumber
man, testified that he was prevented
from competing with Big Springs and
other points for the trade east of
Roswell on account of the great diff
ferential charged on goods shipped
to Roswell.
The testimony of different witnesses
showed that in the past three years
the growth of the Pecos Valley had
been marvellous.
The railroad witnesses attempted
to show that the expenses of traffic
in New Mexico on the P. v. lines far
exceed those in Texas.
The testimony of other witnesses
showed that the Pecos Valley Lines
have now more traffic than they are
able to properly handle.
: Avery Turner testified that he
would refuse to make a rate for coal
from the Colorado mines to Roswell
via the C. & S.
The morning session was taken up
by the examination of witnesses from
Artesia, Hagerma1 and Carlsbad
Their testimony showed the service
and rates on the P. v. lines to be
very bad.
This afternoons session will close
the hearing at Amarillo. and the case

AN EXTRA SESSION
TO REVISE TARIFF.

Chicago, Jan. ga special to the
Record-Herald from Washington to-
day says: A new effort was started
yesterday to bring about a caucus of
the Republican members of the house
to consider the propriety of an extra
session of the next congress to deal
with the question of tariff revision.
Representatives Cooper of Wisconsin
and Steenerson of Minnesota have
been circulating petitions for a eau
Gus and disclosed the existence of a
strong tariff revision sentiment from
the middle West. The signatures of
only fifty Republican congressman
are necessary to call a caucus, and
such progress has been made that
the revisionists have taken a squirt
of real enthusiasm. The standpatters
will fight, and declare that they can
defeat the tariff revisionists in the
caucus if one is called.

THAW CASE CONTINUED
UNTIL MONDAY

New York, jan 26.-Tne Thaw case
was continued last night until Mon
day. Rumors of differences between
Mrs. Harry K. Thaw on one side and
Mrs. William Thaw and the Countess
of Yarmouth, mother and sister res
continued to circulate today, despite
the denial by Tnaw's counsel that
such differences existed. The differ

MES Mrs. Harry Thaw and sits with
her during the sessions of the court.

experiments which have been carried
On for the past three months with
oil-burning locomotives on its west
ern division, and orders have been
issued to prepare all its locomotives
in Wyoming for the use of oil for fu-
el instead of coal. Orders have been
given for boring a number of oil wells
upon the right of way of the North

road may nave it's own fuel instead
of buying from others. 1t has been
found that 1000 gallons of oil do the
work of $4,000 pounds of coal.

The regular monthly session of the

held last night in the form of a Mex
lean "baile," which is a dance. The
Mexican idea was carried out exten-
sively in decorations, which were
very attractive and gave the club
rooms a decidedly festive appearance
in the brilliant colors loved by all
true Mexicans. The feature of the
decorations was a bright-coloreu ban
ner. belonging to an order of the Mex
lean people. The Mexican idea also
prevailed in the refreshments, which
consisted of tamales, served not with
coffee and olives. The table with it's
china and dishes was also a decora-
tive feature of the back drawing room
Card and dancing were the amuse
ments of the evening, splendid music
being furnished by the Messrs. Croft,
Verdi Croft, Norvell and Graham.
The crowd IN attendance was not
quite as large as usual. probably due
to the unfavorable weather, but was
unusually jolly and the good time all
were having was evident on all sides.
About a hundred people came out
in the cold last night to the entertain
meat at the Southern M. E. Church
last night and spent a most enjoyable
evening.
The program was opened with the
singing of "Auld Lang Syne," by the
entire party. Mrs. C. D. Thompson and
