DEMONSTRATION
AT Sing sing

Ossining, July Fire started in
the clothing shop of Sing Sing prison
today. The blaze was extinguished by
the prison brigade without outside aid.
The Are today gave the mutinous con-
victs q chance for more riotous DEM
constructions 1t was the second fire In
the buildings this week Notwith-
standing the fact that the guards were
doubled since $150,000 worth of prop
erty was burned some days ago, 1t Is
generally believed the fire was start
ed by convscts. The warden is unable
to place the blame.
During the fire every precaution was
taken to prevent the escape OF con-
victs. While the guards and TRUSTEES"
were attacking the flames, over 1000
prisoners, locked in their cells raised
a noise the yells of which sounded
high above the alarm.
Warden Clancy attributes the recent
disturbances to the order transferring
some to the state prison at Auburn.
Most OF the prisoners here are from
New York and they object to being
sent where their friends find 1t difficult
to- visit them It was this element
that led TO the nutiny yesterday which
first promised TO develop into an un-
organized attempt at prison delivery

Plan New Rules Governing
Exhibits Next Year
Rest and Convenience Rooms
Planned for Fair

The Merchants auxiliary of the
State Fair association held very en-
thusiastic meeting in the commercial
club rooms yesterday afternoon.
The work of the last fair was gone
over carefully and plans made for the
next years celebration. The booths in
the northwest corner OF the building
will be converted into pleasure and
rest rooms for those who visit the
building. These will include wash
rooms, q barber shop, shoe blacking
parlor, reading room, etc. . st
# The plats of ground surrounding the
center flower stand will be converted
into gardens in charge Of local and
state florists.
The following rules governing exhib-
itors were adopted:
/ AL booth owners must exhibit each
year or pay a SIS forfeit and relin-
.quish the use Of booth.
No sub letting of booths will be per-
mitted except through the board Of
directors. MI
III All exhibits must be in position by
g o'clock on the opening day of the
fair and remain In place till O'clock
p. m. on closing day. of fair.
s No signs can be placed outside of
booths except the sign Immediately

b The secretary's report showed the
association in remarkably good condi-
tion financially The $1,000 debt at
the time Of the erection OF the building
has been completely wiped out and a
nice little bank balance is on hand.
This virtually means that in addition
to free exhibit space each year, those
owning booths have received divi-
dend on their investments.

GROWING
RESTLESS.
Not Satisfied With Concession
Made i.
.-.--
Truce Renewed But Men Are
Getting Nervous
Continuance Of Truce Is Very
Costly

New York, July 24.-The truce be-
tween the eastern railroads and the
conductors and trainmen, pending at
tempts to adjust the labor difficulties
was continued, but the employees
showed that they are growing rest
less. The delay In settling the terms
by arbitration. they say, is costing the
unions $4,000 per day, for they are OBJ
1iged to pay the expenses Of over L.
900 members of the committees who
have not gone back to their locomo-
tives since the declaration for a strike
vote.
The men it is said are not satisfied
with the concessions made yesterday
by the roads managers. These con I
cIssiolis, it is understood, are the
dropping of three of the eight griev-
ances the railroads asked to have
arbitrated In connection with the de-
mands OF the men.

Washington D. c., July 24.-Sena-
tor Works, attacking the tariff bill,
charged that the president had exceed
ed his constitutional authority in
framing the bill and in using "his pow
erful influence to have it passed in
forms approved by him and known to
have his approval.
He also assailed the democratic
caucus which. he declared. forced a
senator t'to forego his own conscien-
tious convictions and Judgment and
vote with the party or come into dis
favor and be branded as apostate and
betrayer OF the party. Works didn't
doubt but that the president acted
from the purest of motives.
Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts, in
an effort to prove the tariff reductions
by the new bill, bear, no relation to the
actual conditions of competition,< read
to the senators an inventory of foreign
food supplies and the furniture they
are using about the senate chamber
Weeks attacked the bill on the
ground that 1T would not reduce the
cost of living, curb the power of the
trusts. nor stimulate healthy compe-
tition. A reduction in prices, he said,
would be followed by an equal reduc-
tion in the working mems incomes.

good health, and seemingly in bet

was no sorrow in his voice-just
resignation.
" when the call comes l think it
will be a sudden one. We should
all be ready for the call, because
we don't know how soon or sud
denly it may come"
