MINE SECRET IS NEAR
ORIGIN OF FIRE AT CHERRY TOLD
BY DRIVER.
Gives Account of How Fatal Load OF
Hay Caught Fire in Fated
Shaft.

CHERRY. Ill, Dec. 4.-The most
important testimony given at long
hearing before the coronor's jury and
the Illinois mining commission, which
are investigating the st. Paul mine hOr-
eor. tended TO substantiate the charge
of the miners union officials who sad
that the fire was started from an unpro-
tected torch.
Charles Thorne, the driver who pulled
the car of hay from the hosting shaft
In the second vein 10 the air shaft,
where it caught fire, described the
torches used in the second vein. Based
on the testimony Of Thorue and others,
the supposition now is that the car OF
hay was drawn underneath a naked
torch that was tilted downward at an
angle sufficient TO drop oil and saturaie
the load. As bglcI hay Will not burn
easily, this is supposed 10 explain now
the load Of hay caught tire 50 readily
and why the flames spread so fast.
Il hauled the ear Of hay that caught
fire from the main hosting shaft at the
second level TO the air shaft, sald
Thorne II was driving three-muic
team and had six cars on the trip. Inc
car with the hay i'll was the fourth car
from the front. The hay came down
about l:15 o'clock, and booked onto 1t
and hauled it through the straight entry
to the air shaft where | uncoupled the
around of the east side leading to the
west side Of the third vein cage When
! coupled onto a train of loads to 90
back to the main shaft the hay was
about II or 20 feet from any torch. /

RAPS COTTON FUTURES
COMMISSIONER SMITH SAYS DEALS
HIT FARMERS AND BUYERS.
Report, While Admitting Exchanges Are
Necessary, CriticiseS New
York Branch

WASHINGTON ID. c., Dec. 6.-Eoth
the producers of cotton and the dealers
in that commodity are the victims of the
system of trading in vogue on the cotton
exchanges OF the country. This is the
burden of parts / and . of the report of
Commissioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith on the conduct of such eX-
changes. The practice Of dealing in flu
lures, as ii is carried on at present, is
condemned, although the report does not
condemn the existence of the exchange.
The report is especially condcmnatory
of the dealings i'll futures branding this
form of speculation as pure gambling ana
highly injurious To legitimate trade. In
quotations for future deliveries of cot
ton the market is so uncertain and 50
many elements of chance enter into the
transaction that all bids are made at
much lower figure than those offered
for cotton actually in existence.
The effect of these fictitious quota
ton, the report point sout, tends to mis-
lead the cotton planter as to the true
value of his crop, honestly grown. In
addition, il leads brokers to play" both
sides Of the market to protect themselves
against loss in such trades with the re-
suit that the producer is forced to pay
i'll the end, while the farmer loses like
wise.
In closing the letter to President Taft
which accompanied his report Commits
sioner Smith again takes occasion to re-
prove the New York exchange. lie
says:
After the publication of the earlier
parts of this report the New Orleans ANA
New York cotton exchanges established
special committees instructed 10 couNid-
or the systems Of their exchanges and 10
cooperate therein with the commissioner
Of corporations. Conferences have been
held 10y the commissioner with both com
mittees. On the part of New Orleans
this cooperation was very complete, re-
sulting in certain important improve
ments in the rules of that exchange. Aft
er more than a years investigation the
committee of the New York exchange
has not yet made any final report or
taken any substantial action"
The report. while recognizing that the
exchanges in New Orleans and New
York are necessary, does not mincc
words in criticising the New York eX-
change.
