FALLS REJOINDER
 ACCUSES MADER0
 OF INCOMPETENCE
Makes Statement to Senate That There is no Improvement
 in Mexican Conditions

Washington, Aug. 19-Senator Fall of New Mexico, replied in the Senate today to the charges of President Madero, of Mexico, that he was re- sponsible for continuance of the revo- lution through encouraging the rebel general, Orozco. Fall declared the charges ridiculous" The Senator in- sisted that he had sources of informa- ton bearing on Mexican conditions superior to those of the State depart ment, and declared that Madero was unable to cope with the situation. f T do not think that present condi- tlons in Mexico can last much long er," he asserted. ''Madero has gone farther than he intended.'
 Senator Culberson read, a telegram from Secretary of State Knox, declar- ing that the Mexican government had been notified it was expected ade- quately to protect American citizens and property and the situation was to improve.
 Fall insisted that the report Of inn proyernent of conditions in Mexico Twas absolutely unfounded', and of fered to show documents in proof of his assertion if it were not for the fact that the lives of his informants would be forfeited if names were given. He said the Madero govern ment could give no protection what ever and that Americans were banding together for defense.

Burke made visit to New York and called upon Timothy Dorsey, then the national delegate who was at the head of the movement in this country. After conference with MT.

SECRETARY REDDY
 SAYS STOW TRIAL
 WAS ''FRAME UP"
Bridgeport Baseball Club Official Declares 1t Was Injustice to Let Umpire Mullaney Go Free.

Secretary Reddy of the Bridgeport baseball club was very indignant this afternoon because of the action of the West Haven court in fining Bob Stow this morning.
 "It was a clear case of frame up, !" declared the secretary. 'Flick, Ma gle and other New Haven players went on the stand and swore that Stow advanced toward the umpire in a threatening manner. They also said that Stow usel vile language to- ward the umpire Stow denied using any such language"
 Local fans are inclined to agree with the Bridgeport club officials that it was sn injustice to acquit Umpire Mullaney and fine Stow. It is point ed out that the umpire was guilty of bad judgment in striking Spratt and thereby melting riot at Savin Rock last Saturday Secretary Reddy said some of the fans criticised President O'Rourke of the Connecticut league for sitting with the umpire's lawyer and helping him conduct the case for the defense.
