Ossinins. N. Y.. July 24. Another Are at Sing Sing prison today gave the mutinous convicts a chance for more riotous demonstrations. The blaze started In the clothing shop and the prison Are brigade extinguished It after a hard light without outside aid. ' It was the second Tire in the prison buildings this week, notwithstanding the fact that the guards had been doubled since $150,000 worth of prop erty was burned up there two days ngo. Although It Is generally be lieved that the fires were started by convicts, the warden has been unable to place the blame. When the firo broke out today In the clothing shop the whistles were blown and every precaution was taken to guard against 'the escape of con victs. While the guards and the "trusties" were attacking the flames more than a thousand prisoners locked in their cells raised a chorus of yells that sounded high above the noise of the alarm. The men at work In the building were marched out In good order and the blaze was extinguished. Warden Clancy attributes the recent disturbances among the convicts to an order for the transfer of some of them to the state prison at Auburn. Most of the prisoners at Sing Sing come from New York city and object to being sent up state, where their friends will find it difficult to visit them. It was this element that led the mutiny yesterday which at first promised to develop into an organized attempt at prison delivery. Clarence Poe of Progressive Farmer Ch6sen President of N. C. I Press Association. Senator Works Declares President Exceeded Constitutional Authority in Forcing Congress to Acquiesce in His Views Warns of Possible Abuse of Power. PRESIDENT FINLEY DELIVERED ADDRESS By Associated Press Washington, July 24. Discussion of the Mexican situation today turned toward proposals that the United States act as a mediator while elec tions are held and a constitutional government established. Although such suggestions have at various times been made to President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and members of. con gress by persons In this country and Mexico, the proposition has neve reached the stage of serious consid eration because of the insistent atti tude of the constitutionalists that they would not entertain cediatlon under any circumstances. "Who will guarantee the honesty of an election? The only guarantee we can have is to take possession of the government by arms, put In a pro- j visional president and hold elections when the country is pacified. Elec tions with most of the country up in arms would be Impossible." This was the answer of the consti tutionalist representatives here today to reports that mediation was about to be undertaken through the offi ces of the United State. The con stitutlonist profess to see In such a proposal an effort on the part of the Huerta govevrnment to secure a sub peuBlnu of hostilities , during, which It would' take retaliatory measures to suppress the constitutionalists' case. The constitutionalist point out that the game kind of proposals were re peatedly made in the declining days of the Dla administration. "I have had many letters," said Senator Bacon as he left the White House, "and there has been much talk among senators about the possibility of mediation, but we recognize that it all depends upon the attitude of the factions In Mexico. We would have 1o he Invited to mediate, wo could hot exercise any authority, I don't know how practicable It would be. "Perhaps tho best thing would be if both sides could get together witnout mediation by any one else and name a iirnvlnlonal Dresldent who would be satisfactory to both and hold an elec Hon. Put tho chief point about nil this discussion Is that It shows how anxious the American peoplo are for solution of the trouble In Mexico and that we aro not thinklnj nf anything like Interv.ition. I'he value of these suggestions Is that we test out public opinion both In this country and In Mexico. Senator Bacon said thai so far as he knew no fqrmal recommendations for mediation was being considered by the urtiident and that the matter only reached the stage of discussion. A number of senators In discussing the Mexican situation with President wiiMin tnrinv learned that he A'u hopeful that the senate would refrain from debate about Mexico at this time or at any rnte until after Ambassador tviunn todav learned that he was was formulated. It was said the pres ident n,, luted out that expressions by senators might arouse bad feeling In Whan Ambassador Henry !ane Wil con has finished his conference with the president he will be asked to give the senate foreign reunions commit tee first hand Information of tho sit nation In Mexico. Some of the mem tiers have not conferred with the pres. Jdent directly upon the rapidly chnng. Ing aspect. The ambassador Is ex nected here Saturday. Secretary II ry an also probably will be asked to tak ud Mexican affairs with the com mittee. Proposal for mediation, repeol of Ihe restrk Hull against the shipment of arms and of President Wilson's al ternate plan for rigid enforcement of neutrality were discussed among sen ators today, but no definite plan of nctlon received approval. Many mem ' lers of the fnrelicn relations commit tee consider mediation Impossible be cause of the many factions In Mexico and the difficulties that Would attend ' any effort to in per vine elections.

Senator Works, attacking the tariff bill today, charged that President Wilson ex ceeded his constitutional authority by aiding in framing the bill and "using his powerful influence to have !t passed in the form unproved by him and known to have his approval." The senator also assailed the demo cratic caucus which he declared forced a senator to "forego his own conscientious convictions and Judg ment and vote with his party or come into disfavor and be branded as an apostate and betrayer of his party. "The president," said Senator Works, "commits himself beyond re call to a bill not yet Introduced and without having heard the presentation of their views by the legislative repre sentatives of the states where vital in terests and important industries ure to be affected by It. Thus we have a bill agreed upon and marked for final passage, upoii consideration only by a few men of the party, concurred in by the president acting with representa tives of this ime party. This comes in part from the vicious doctrine that the president is th deader of his party instead of, or as well as, the president of the whole people. The two are utterly inconsistent when il comes to the making of laws." Senator Works did not doubt that the president acted from the purest motives'' hut feared that "this great power to mould legislation might fall into unworthy or treasonable hands and that "revolution may follow and this beneficent-, government of ours be disrupted." "The time may come," he Raid, "when this great power in the execu tive government to rule and control congress, a power not given by law and wholly Illegitimate but estabHrjied by the silent and unauthorized acqui escence of the people and their lawful representatives, may bring the institu tions of this republic into deadly peril and possible overthrow. "It makes Ihe situation only more alarming that one of such high ideals and patriotic purposes should do any thing (lit can reasonably be construed to be a usurpation of power or an in fringement of the constitution that may sometime be appealed to as a precedent by one less conscientious and patriotic."

The conference, called at the suggestion of Senator Kansilell of Louisiana, agreed that all the government resources should be brought into the tight against the in sect. In the course of the discussion Sen ator Vardumun of Mississippi declared congress should make available (10.- 000,000 immediately to aid the de partment of agriiulture In Its light agianst the pest. Several of the other members of congress present agreed with Mr. Vardumun. Senator ltansdcll In opening the ills eusslon declared there was urgent need for an immediately more nggresslve light against the booi weevil Instead of the Indirect methods now employed by the department. In reply it was pointed out that these methods thun far had proven effective and that they could be made more so through the extension of the work. E. K. Evuns, an expert of the de purtment, declared that there waa only a small section in Mississippi and Louisiana where tho boll weevil could not be checked through proper agri cultural methods, lie said there were not enough men in the work to reach the vast territory involved and urged Ihtit. the demonstration work be ex tended. The proposal for a neutral zone to head off encroachments of the pest was only briefly referred to. At the suggestion of Assistant Secretary (Jul loway a committee probably will be appointed at an early date to conslde all the phase of this proposal wit the view of putting It Into operation If found feasible.

Senator Cummins denied that state ment categorically. I have no recollection of seeing Mulhall or speuking to him on any ubjeet, but 1 am not prepared to say that I have not," he said. Hut I am certain that I did not have any conversation with him about the speech Kendall was to make on the bill. I am certain 1 never went into Dolliver's room with him; and I m certain that I never had any con ersation with him there." Mulhall (Jetting Tired. Mulhall leaned forward In the wit- nes chair and shouted: "I'm getting tired of these denials." "I don't care whether you're getting tired or not. It makes no difference to me; if you don't tell the truth I'm going to deny it," . replied Senator ummins. Under a sharp fire of questions Mul hall finally testified he dln't know where Dolliver's room was. Mulhall had written in his letter that he and Senator Cummons retired to a "private room" to confer. He de- lared that he had no intention of lin- ilylng that Senator Cummins had one anything wrong. ; The witness added that the manu- acturers' orauciution was opposed to Senator Cummins because he wa known to favor an eight-hour bill and lectured that if the committee Inves tigated the association properly it would find that it had "chased Seiia- or Cummins al lover Iowa." Washington, July 24. Martin M. Mulhall's correspondence, first put in lie record of the senate committee to day, concerned his efforts to beat Rep resentative Herbert Parsons of New York for re-election in 1910, told of reading the "riot act" to Kepresenta tlve Ralph D. Cole of Ohio because of his opposition to Former Speaker Cannon and gave further details of Mulhall's offers to aid the candidacy of George Gordon Battle for governor of New York. February 3, 1910, Mulhall wrote to John A. Klrby, Jr., about the fight on Cannon and added: Mr, Sherman confidentially stated to me that President Taft i now be ing made aware of the many good things that our association ha don for the republican party for the last seven years and he assured me that the president would not pres any la bor bills ut this session of congress and at the close of my Interview with the vice president I wa more than ever confident of complete success in Washington thl winter." I Writing to General Manager Bird on the .imp duy Mulhall wild: "We Intend to start more hell In Baltimore among the politician than was ever started there before." The letter explained that the fight wit to he made on William H. Stone. collector of custom, and apoke of Stone' friendliness to "labor agita tor." on February 7 Mulhall wrote to Secretary Schwedtman that the eight hour bill wa pretty well cornered In the lalsir ub-rommtttee nf th house and there win no danger. He wrote Klrby on the same sub ject. "Gardner named hi sub-committee u Mr. Emery and 1 had agreed. It now consisted nf Vreeland, Madison and Allen, republican; Italney and Covington, democrat.
