WILL HASTEN BUSINESS
Belief at White House That Con.
gress Will Adjourn
in July.

The White House today reached the
conclusion that Congress will adjourn
about the last of July. This "state OF
mind" followed a conference the Presi-
dent had with Senator James of Ken
lucky. in whom the administration has
much confidence. The Kentucky sena-
tor was not with the President long,
but he expressed the confident belief
that the Senate will now begin tc
hump things toward reasonably
quick adjournment
Realizing the Presidents insistence
as to trust legislation and knowing
his habits of holding Congress here
until he accomplishes what he thinks
the country demands, Congress is like
ly to begin moving more rapidly, II
was predicted.
Cabinet members who attended the
regular semi weekly session of the
Presidents advisers took a more cheer
full view of reasonably early adjourn
ment of Congress.

men we're burned to death and twenty
seriously injured when eighty persons
were trapped in a burning Armenian
lodging house here early today.

the ground floor of the structure. When
the fire1nen arrived flames were shoot
ing through all four floors. Escape by
the two narrow stairways was cut off
and the only means of getting out of
the building was by jumping from the
windows. There was a scene of wild
excitement as the crazed foreigners at
tempted to save their lives.
The heat was so intense that the fire
men were unable to enter and the only
way they could aid the occupants was
by spreading nets and blankets to
catch them as they leaped from the
windows.
The victims were laborers and molders
employed at a manufacturing plant in
Hopedale. None Of them had families.

Will Not Send Delegates.

They contended that under the circum-
stances there was nothing left for Car
rama to say. He would not now send
any representative to Niagara Falls.
they declared, even in an unofficial Ca
pacity.
That development, not entirely unex-
pected. caused little change in the diplo-
matte situation so far as the United
States was concerned. However, in some
quarters it was suggested that the clos
ing of the doors to the constitutionalist
delegates might hinder the Washington
governments chances of obtaining Car
ranza's consent to the drafting of q
peace plan in which he would have had
no part On the other hand. the in
sistence of the American delegates that
la constitutionalist. or a man with con-
stitutionalist sympathies. be named for
provisional president, was pointed to as
showing that the interests Of the north
ern faction were receiving full consfdera-
ton. The mediators have declared they
were carefully weighing the constitu-
tionalists' claims.
Agents of the revolutionist junta here
were surprised that the mediators re-
piled direct to Carranza, instead of
transmitting their telegram to Rafael
Zuburan. through whom all previous
correspondence has passed. They de-
clined to comment upon 1t. but state
ment today from Carranza was ex-
pected.
Mediators Mistaken, It Is Said.
The mediators. 1t was said. were mis-.
taken in assuming that Carranxa had
not duly considered parts Of the en-
voys previous communication - those
referring to an armistice and other con-
ditions-because Gen. Carranza had
positively announced that he would not
agree to a truce with Huerta.
Temporary suspension Of formal con-
ferences at Niagara Falls among the
mediatofs and the American and Huerta
delegates during tho absence Of the Ar
gentine minister gave President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan today additional
time for consideration Of men to be sug-
Eested for the provisional presidency In
Mexico. Government officials were said
to have experienced some difficulty in
getting names of eligibles through con-
6titutionanst aSepts in Xashingtons Appx.
