Y, Jan. 6.-Pubiic in terest in the administration Of the de- partment of prisons, which subsided a week ago when Thomas Mott Osborne relinquished the wardenship of Sing Sing, was suddenly revived today by Governor Whitman's demand that John B. Riley, state superintendent of pris- ons, offer his resignation immediately

Kirchway, in ordering the trans fer from Sing Sing to Dannemora prison of several members of the Mu- tual Welfare league, the Sing Sing self governing body organized by Warden Osborne. This action, Gov ernor Whitman declared. was taken without conference with either Warden Kirchway or the governor "and its ef- feet, if carried out" he wrote, must be to break down the administration and render the new warden's position intolerable."
 It was said at the executive cham Der tonight that William A. Orr the governors secretary, probably would be named as Riley's successor until the governor could appoint a per- manent superintendent
