THE REMOVAL OF THE DEAD
Before. Echoes of the Colo rado Explosion Had Died Away Another Snuffed Out Lives of a Score of Kentucky Miners.

Primero. Colo. Feb. I-Yesterday' $ disaster in the main mine of the Colorado Fuel X Iron company. which claimed the lives of at least seventy nine men. was caused by an explo- sion of fine damp. according to sur vivor of the catastrophe in the same mine January g. 1907. when twenty four lives were lost.
 The same authority holds that the explosion was caused by the ignition of gas from q flame which originated probably through the carelessness Of some miner in direct violation Of the mine rules. either through the crimp- ing of cap for fuse, or the lighting of match surrpettiously carried into the workings.
 The officials refuse to give out any statement regarding the cause, claim ing that it cannot be determined until the works have been cleared. How ever. they admit that some violation of the mine rules will be found to he responsible. The PrimerO mine wls equipped with the. most modern appli- ances. and all miners are searched for matches before entering the work ings.
 At 9 ?. m. the situation in the workings continued unchanged. Re- lief work is being pushed by fre- queut changes of shifts. a rescuing party having reached Entry No. r. A. seven -eighths of mile from the mouth.
 A check of the bodies recovered to- night reveals that forty-seven have been removed. leaving thirty-two still in the workings Tonight large force of men was put to work digging graves in the cemeteries Of Trinidad. Tomorrow the bodies recovered will be taken to Trinidad for burial. Nine Japanese miners will he buried in the Catholic cemetery. Three large drays have been transformed into hearses for use tomorrow to convey the bodies from the train to the cemeteries. Seventy collins were brought here today and this SUD- ply will be further increased tOmor- row

THE NIGH COST OF LIVING
Said to Be Indirectly Re sponsible for Collapse, In vestors Being Compelled to Seek Higher Income Producing Securities.

New York. Feb. Fisk X Robin son. bond deaIers ana members of the New York stock exchange, failed for million dollars today. An involuE- tary petition in bankruptcy was filed by creditors in the United States district court. Shrinkage in the value of Buffalo X Susquehanna railway stock and bonds held by the firm caused the failure, which is one of the largest since the panic of 1907, not so much in the volume of the liabilities as in view of the impor- tance of the firm. which has branches in Chicago. Boston and Worcester
 The business of the firm was prin- cipally banking and floating bonds The petition in bankruptcy was filed with the full consent of the firm, it's members having concluded that this was the only way to avoid further loss for itself and for it's creditors.
 A statement issued by the receiver tonight says the firms secured obli- cations will approximate 5000, ,000, and it's unsecured debts will exceed sl.060.00O Little surprise at the fail ure was manifested in banking circles, where it was said the firm had re- ceived several extensions of credit in the past year.
 In addition to the securities men, toned. the firm is also identified with a number of small railways and sev- erai independent telephone companies in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Among the roads whose bond issue it en- deavOred to float were the Louisiana X Arkansas railway; the San Am tonic & Arkansas. and the Aransas Pas. Gulf and Ship Island. These is- sues had no satisfactory market and added to the drain on the firms re- 
 The high cost of living indirectly the failure according to JO- seph Stanley Brown. manager of the New York office. He said it was becoming more difficult every day to sell bonds. because the high cost of living has driven investors to search for securities that bring a higher in- rome than that offered by bonds.

 NOT FAR APART.

Washington. Feb l.-(Spe- cialD-The chief differences and practically the only ones of any importance between the Hamil , ton statehood bill which has passed the house and the bill of the senate territories committee which was introduced yester day. are in the paragraphs re- lating to the land grants to the new states and the time limit for the adoption or the conSti- tutions as well as the manner Of their adoption and approval
 The senate bill looks to the granting of lands the same as does the Hamilton bill but the committee had not agreed upon the areas to be donated for the various purposes. The bill there fore describes these donations as "... acres.

 mittee said today that there was no probability of a con- flict between the two houses when it came to the filling of these blank spaces.
