OF the party, wherever held,
Resolved; That 1t be the sense OF
of this committee that the committee
shall forthwith proceed to determine
on basis OF representation in future
national conventions Of the party, and,
BE it Further Resolved: That the
committee pledge itself to issue a call
for the convention to be convened in
1916 to nominate candidates in ac.
cordance with such basis of represen.
tation as shall be now deterniified on
by this committee"
Both resolutions provided recognition
Of the primary law or various states
and agreed that certificates Of elec.
tion from proper state authorities
should be sufficient ground for plac-
ing the name of a delegate on the
temporary roll of the convention. The
second resolution also recognized the
methods adopted in California and
other states. where all delegates are
elected at large, and only declared
that the ototaI number named In the
call must be chosen BY any state
which has such a law.
Resolutions were adopted to admit
Senator Cummins and Representa-
tive Woods of Iowa, Of the republican
congressional committees to the con
ference.
Chairman Warren Of the law COM
mittee then moved the adoption Of the
first resolution, proposing national
convention, and the debate began.
Senator Cummins appealed for the

mol lARoR DEPRESSION

Washington, Dec. 16.-President
Samuel sGompers Of the American
Federation Of Labor told the house
judiciary committee today that while
the number Of men out of employ
ment in the United States might
possibly be trifle above normal, he
believed that it was due to the transi-
ton we are in, rather than to any
real depression"
Mr.. Gompers made his statement
during the course of an argument for
the Bartlett bill. He pointed to the
recent indictments of labor leaders in
Colorado for violation Of the sher-
man law, to emphasize his contention
that they should be exempt from pro-
secution for combining to better wag-
es and conditions.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Two propos-
ais for reorganization of the republi-
can party. and methods OF fixing a
basis upon which discordant elements
can unite, confronted the republican
national committee today.
Foremost was a proposal for spe-
cial national convention to readust
the system of delegate representa-
ton. The other was that no conven-
tion be called, but that the national
committee fix a plan of reapportion-
ment for ratification by republican
state conventions.
A resolution for special conyen-
tion was prepared by special com
mittee, which also framed another re-
solution in accordance with a COM
promise suggestion by Charles B.
Warren of Michigan, chairman Of the
law committee, proposing that after
the national committee rIxes a basis
Of delegate reapportionment, the plan
be ratified BY two-thirds of the states
which cast republican pluralities for
president in 1908.
on the special committee draFing
the resolution were Committeeman
Warren of Michigan, Borah Of Idaho,
Hadley Of Missouri who also holds a
proxy from Louisiana; Smoot of Utah
and Howell of Nebraska. They went
into session early today to report lat
er to the entire committee.
Mooser Opposes Convention
Ormsby McHarg. who represented
the Roosevelt forces in the contests
preceding the Chicago convention last
year. addressed the committee in op-
position to a special convention.

Main Entranced closed

Denver, Dec. 16.-Reports received
from Newcastle up to noon by Presi-
dent L. W. Brown Of the Rocky Noun
tain Fuel company, gave no intima-
ton as to the cause of the explosion
in the Vulcan mine. Officials Of the
company believed that the possibility
of a dust explosion was slight, and
were working on the theory that the
disaster was caused by pocket Of
gas.
The Vulcan mine has been in op-
GRAFTON about year It's highest re-
corded output is 400 tons day,
mostly railroad coal supplied to the
Denver & Rio Grande and the Col
orado Midland companies According
to Mr.. Brown the highest number Of
men employed at once is 80. Mr..
Brown did not know the number at
work at the time Of the explosion.
The mine has one main entrance
Of the slope variety, not being en-
tered through shaft. In addition
there are number of air shafts The
main slope was completely blocked
by the explosion. Officials of the
company consider it possible, how
ever, to enter the mine through the
air shafts.
A rescue crew from the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company's mine at
Spring Gulch, - miles from Newcas-
tie, started for the scene of the disas-
ter Immediately. Efforts were made
at once to secure the services of the
government mine rescue car which is
now in Wyoming.
President Brown stated that the
Vulcan mine was equipped with every
modern safety device.
News of the explosion at Newcas-
tie was received by telephone at the
United States bureau of mines office
here. ]. G. Roberts, in charge Of
mine rescue work in the Rocky Noun
tain region, is at Cripple Greek. SUI

Ri Paso, Tex Dec. 18.-Two hun

Mexico. Among them were French,
German, Italian and Spanish people
who had been engaged in business in
Mexico. They reiterated the stories
told earlier by refugees that General
francisco Villas attitude toward
them and his action in expelling
spaniards, had created desire
among all foreigners to leave the
country. They said since the Span
iards left the property taken from
their stores had been auctioned and
the proceeds placed in the rebel
treasury.
The fate Of Luis Terrazas, Jr, who
is held prisoner, was reported to be
unknown. The refugees corroborated
the statement that Terrazas had been
compelled to sign checks in small de-
nominations and that these checks
were being used As currency.

Villas acts were based on convic.
tion that the Spanish merchants OF
Chihuahua had aided the federal
troops, had taken a strong stand in
favor of Huerta and so were consid-
cred by Villa as active enemies Of the
revolution.
The 400 or more Span1ards who
summarily were expelled from Chi
huahua and who were joined by some
of the German and American merch-
ants, were, however. not less active
in their protests.
The subjects of Spain held that
their rights, both as to the taking of
their property and as to their being
required to leave the country, were
violated in a serious manner.
The Spanish merchants declared
that Villa had sought to evade the
charge of confiscation of foreign
property by asserting that he merely
was taking charge of it, whereas, as
a matter of fact, the Spaniards said,
the taking of property by the rebels
was nothing other than confiscation,
since the property was devoted to the
personal use Of the rebels and the
owners had no receipts or guaran-
tees of indemnity.
Raoul Madero, a young brother of
the late president, may be appointed
chief of staff to villa and as an ad
wiser to assist the rebel commander
in some of the civic and diplomatic
functions Of government.

Chief Of Police Ben Coles is work
