LOOSE ENDS OF BUSINESS KEEP
 LEGISLATURE STILL AT WORK

In spite of the belief on Wednesday night that the extra session of the leg Islature would come to an end yester- day, the loose ends of the business had not been gathered up late yesterday afternoon when both houses adjourned to ten o'clock this morning. The work of going over the appropriation bills for errors of typewriting was in prog ress all day and there was yet the tax lew bill to pass. That was being pre- pared in the office of the auditor and it was stated that it would be finished a little after noon. But it had not been completed by the middle of the after noon when the house adjourned for the day. It appeared, also, that despite the anxiety of the members to close the session, there was an unwillingness to quit it until it had been ascertained what would happen at Florence today.
 As to the second extra session. d proposition has been made to hold it at Prescott and the laws and the con- stitutiOn have been searched for a pro- hibition against such a removal of the legislative branch of the government.

Cause Still In Doubt

WASHINGTON May 21-The United States government had re- ceived tonight messag ges from Am bassadOr Page and Consul General Skinner at London and statement from Captain Green of the Nebraskan. but from all the information thus far available it is impossible to deter mine whether the explosion on the Nebraskan Tuesday was caused by mine or a torpedo. Many officials are inclined to the theory that the ship was struck by a floating mine. Naval officers say such am eXplo- sion as was described by Greene is of a character more l:zely to have been caused by d mine
 Ambassador Page reported he had begun an inquiry by sending the naval constructors attached to the American embassy to make a com plete examination on the Nebraskan's arrival at Liverpool. Any diplomatic action as result of the incident will be deferred until there is de- finite proof of the cause of the eX- plosion. Should it develop that the vessel was torpedoed the fact that her flag had been lowered a few minutes before, at sundown, would have no bearing upon the action of the American government which has always has insisted upon the eNer- else of the right of visit and searcn before attack on any merchantmen.
 There is no information convention in force relative to the laying of mines Count Won Bernstorff. the German ambassador, formally pre- scented memorandum to the state department stating that mines laid by Germany were of such character as to become innocuous when ur- loosened. Previously the British gov ernment had given the United States similar assurances. Laying mines for the sole purpose of intercepting commerce is forbidden by the Hague convention but there has been no general rule by which the prohibi- tion could be interpreted, as it is claimed that all the mines used in the present war were laid for an of fensive or defensive purpose.
 The United States ratified the Hague convention on the subject of mines. but the convention is in

WOULD CREATE
 NEW MARKET FOR
 EXCHANGE BILLS
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

WASHINGTON May 21.-A definite plan for the creation of d market for bills of exchange drawn on banks of the United States. payable in dollars was presented at the conference be- tween the representatives of business and financial interests of the United States and the Chilean delegates at tending the American financial conference. It was said tonight the Guggenheim copper interests, the Beth lehem Steel and the Du Pont powder company, all of which have large inter ests in Chile, are back of the plan which involves an exchange aggregat ing at least twenty millions a year
 Representatives of the United States in this conference group were told that Chlle eXacted an export duty on nj trates and had provided that 20 day bills of exchange on London, payable in pounds sterling would be practically legal tender in payment of these duties and for other purposes. It was sug gested that al law be enacted to make the bills drawn on the banks of the United States legal tender to the same extent to facilitate the business of the interests in the United States which spend millions each year in wages and purchases in Chile. The Chileans promised to urge their government to take the steps necessary. Later it was said the same proposal will be made to other South American countries where bills on London are legal tender.
 Features of the conference of todays general session were the luncheon giv- en by Secretary McAdoo and the trip to Mount Vernon on the presidential yacht Mayflower. Tomorrow there will be more group conferences and a general session at which the groups are expected to make reports.
 It became apparent today that sev- eral of the South American nations M- tend to make vigorous effort to have some concrete plan for Improvements of steamship facilities submitted to the conference before the adjournment on Saturday. Several countries particu = larly interested themselves through their representatives here are in favor of the encoura cement of ship builders, either by direct or indirect subsidies.

constitution requires that the legisla ture shall be held biennially at the cap ital Of the state and the statutes fix the time when the state legislature shall assemble at the capital. It was point ed out that both the constitution and the law have been compiled with so that in the absence of any direct pro- hibition, an extra session may be held anywhere in the state. But the call of the governor would probably designate the place of holding the session.
 An incident of the morning session in the house was the denunciation by Mir. Mahoney of an article in the Journal Miner of Prescott reflecting upon Mir. Pinkley and the language used by the gentleman from Mohave was plain and easily understood. He regretted he said, that there was no way to keep that paper out of the pre- cincts Of the legislature Mir. Johns of Yavapal regretted that such a publi- cation should have been made in q paper of his county but he thought that Mir Mahoney attached more weight to the article than it deserved. MT. Proctor thought not. Speaking of capital pun ishment he said that though he did not favor it in any case, when he contem- plated the use that some people of the press made of their positions his views in opposition to capital punishment were greatly modified.
 MT Lines was not sure that the ar ticle did not reflect upon many other members of the legislature much as it did on Mir Pinl<ley. The article stated that Mir. Pinkley who had been custodian of the Casa Grande ruins had resigned his place to accept a place in the legislature and had arranged that his wife should have the place in his absence. He was also spoken of in the article as one of the governors chat tels.
 But whatever injury may have been done by the article to his feelings must have been more than modified by the high terms in which his colleagues of the legislature spoke of him. Members of the faction which had bitterly op- posed him in the various contests since the beginning of the regular session Vied with one another in expressing their opinions Of his high cleracter.

 County Attorney Hilzinger of Pima county will represent the office of the attorney general at the hearing He is well fortified with decisions all tending to the opinion that the federal court is without jurisdiction in this matter. Among them is the case of Durrant, the san Francisco murderer. in whose behalf an appli- cation was made to the United States court on the eve of the date of his execution, on precisely the same grounds on which the application is made If Judge Sawtelle should re- fuse to take jurisdiction that will be the end of the matter. If he should deny the writ which by the way would be directed against Warden Sims an appeal will be taken but in the opinion of attorneys that would not carry with it a stay of execution. If the writs are granted the execu- tion will, of course, be postponed.
