CLANCY DENIES HE'LL
QUIT AS WARDEN
Sing Sing Official Confers
with Riley-MuSt Go,
His Enemies Assert.

James j. Clancy. warden OF Sing
Sing, whom the Westchester wing OF
Tammany has been trying TO force out
Of office ever since he was appointed
hv Governor Sulzer, in an interview
with a reporter for The Tribune last
night denied that he would get out on
Friday.
The dispatches from Sing Sing yes-
terday were that Clancy would quit
next Friday. These reports emanated
from the members Of the anti-Clancy
faction, who last night asserted that
despite Clancy's announcement that he
would remain they would put him out
Of Sing Sing so quickly that he would
not have q chance to pack suitcase.
The better part Of yesterday Clancy
spent in conference with Superintenc-
ent Of Prisons Riley at Sing Sing
Riley hurried TO Sing Sing when he
learned of the seriousness OF the situa-
ton. The warden, who was 10 have
Quit the prison on May l because of po-
litical conditions there, It is said, has
found that in the last week the condi-
tions which caused him to send in his
resignation early in January had again
made their appearance.
The greater part Of the employees Of
the prison are said to be members OF
the Westchester County wing OF the
Tammany organization and have no
use for Clancy, who is an anti-Tani-
many Democrat. They have many
grievances against him as result OF
his efforts to bring about reforms IN
the prison.
His first sign Of trouble appeared
when he attempted TO wipe out the
cocaine traffic among the prisoners
His investigation at the time, 1t is al
legged. showed that some of the prison
keepers were making as much as 500 a
week by the Illicit sale Of the drug.

tFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, May 10.-An engage
ment Of great importance has been
started between the Constitutionalists
and the Federals at Tampico. the
rebels are trying TO take the town,
which will give them a seaport through
which they can import ammunition ana
arms without interference. 1t will also
give them an outlet to foreign markets
for an immense amount OF cotton
which was confiscated when the Con-
stitutionalists took Torreon.
The cotton, which is said 10 be worth
more than S5,OOO,OO0, belonged. for the
greater part. to Spanish subjects.
After the ,apture of Torreon the Con-
stitutionalists shipped large quantities
OF the cotton 20 the American border
and tried 10 sell it in El Paso and other
American markets. They were blocked
bv attorneys for the original owners,
who attached the cotton and invoked
the aid OF the courts. Finally the rail-
ways refused TO take any more ship
ments.
The rebels are eager 10 try TO make
sales in Europe. They believe that
they can do so unhampered, but in dip
lomatic circles it is stated that govern
ments which have recognized Huerfa,
and who therefore look upon the rebels
only as bandits and insurrectos, must
look upon the cotton only as stolen
property. and that, in consequence. 1t
cannot be sold in Europe.
Rear Admiral Mayo, in command at
Tampico, has reported TO Rear Ad-
miral Badger that at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon General Gonzales, COM
manding the rebel forces at Tampico.
sent an officer aboard the American
flagship with a copy OF letter ad-
dressed TO all foreign corsuls at Tam
pico, notifying them to have their ma
tionals take refuge on board the ships
in the hsrbor or come 10 the rebel
camp. where their safety would be
guaranteed. General Gonzales asked
that the communication be forwarded
to all the foreign ships present, ami
this was done.

Begin Battle Under Light of
Burning Oil Tanks.

Juarez, Mexico, May 1o.-The most
desperate battle of the present Mexican

Ignacio Morelos ZaragoZa, the Fed
eral commander, in the centre or the
town, sweeping the breastworks with a
hail Of shrapnel, in an effort to open
the way for a dash by General Pablo
Gonzaless infantry.
For the first time in the fighting be-
tween Huerta and Carranza, the Con-
stitutionalists were on equal terms with
the Federals in artillery. The twenty
French field guns captured by General
Gonzales at Monterey and placed in
position before Tampico nave done

contrast TO the homemade shells used

thought TO form a part of the force at
tacking Tampico. but 1t was decided
that he was needed in the campaign On

EIGHTY PER CENT LAW

That Professor Murry S. Widman,
well-known to Arizonans. and now
at the head of the Department of
Economics at Stanford University.
California. retains his keen interest
in Arizona affairs. is shown by a
recent letter from him to his old
friend. T. C. Power. of Ph, enix.
The following extract is of particular
moment just now, as it refers to
some of the proposed legislation
which our voters must decide on on
November 3d.:
1T would be hard to devise law
better adapted to make Arizona
forever known as the home of sage
brush and coyotes than the 80 per
cent citizenship bill. Arizona must
compete with other states. If she
should make a law that every work
man must work with his right hand
