CONVICTS FIGHT
SING SING FIRE
Blaze Causes 100000
Loss None of Prisoners
Missing.

Ossining. Nov. 21.-A fire which
started early today in the cart and
wagon factory of Sing Sing prison
ragged for three hours before il was
finally placed under control. Three
industrial buildings were completely
destroyed and a large amount of
material used in the prison indus
tries was consumed. The fire was
believed to be of incendiary origin.
The prisoners assisted in fighting
the fire. which at one time threat
ened to destroy all the factory
buildings in the prison yard. A
preliminary count, taken after the
flames were under control. showed
that none of the inmates had es-
capped. At the outbreak of the fire
a heavy guard of keepers armed
with rifles was thrown about the
entire prison enclosure.
The prison water supply was cut
off yesterday to permit a water main
to be installed in the new group of
buildings under construction outside
the prison walls. 1t is believed that
some of the inmates took advantage
of this to start the blaze.
Several of the prisoners are serving
terms for arson. 1t is thought that a
group might have started the fire in
the hope of escaping or of getting out
of work through the destruction of
the factories
With the prison fire fighting system
out of commission. the au-
thorities sent for the Ossining de-
partment.
The damage was estimated at
10000.

by Sen. Lodge
Would Hold Treaty in SEN
ate Until After Primaries
To Get Peoples View.

Senator Lodge came out strongly
yesterday for q referendum Of the
American people on the question OF
ratification OF the treaty which the
Senate has rejected.
He said he welcomed the suggestion
that the treaty question should be
made an issue In the next Presiden-
tial and Congressional canrpaign. He
would have the people vote their ap-
proval or disapproval OF ratification
with the reservations prepared by the
Senate majority. or ratification with
out reservations as demanded by
President Wilson. or rejection alto
sether.
To that great and inal tribunal
alone would I appeal" the Senator
said.
Senator Lodges statement indicat-
ed that 1t may be part Of his plan TO
hold the treaty in the Foreign Re-
iations Committee for an indehnite
period so that the primaries and
elections can be held before the SEN
ate Is again called upon to act on
the question Of ratification. A ma
jority vote could. take the treaty out
Of the committees hands and insist
upon immediate action toward rat,

Administration Senators already
have signified their purpose to take
action of this kind II there is any
disposition upon the part OF the Re-
publican majority to hold up the
treaty in the committee.
The primaries for the selection Of
delegates to the national conventions
will be under way early in February.
so that IL Senator Lodge makes up
his mind to hold the treaty in the
committee until after there has been
an expression from the people on the
question. it would not be a difficult
task to hold it up until after a great

Hammonton, N. J., Nov. al
The body of Billy Dansey, the

started a countrywide search
which has continued for several
Weeks, was discovered late today
by 4 gunner in a swamp not far
distant from the Dansey home.
Suspect Foul Play.
Immediately after the coroner had
examined the little body he expressed
belief that death had resulted from
foul play.
Added strength wes given to the
theory that the child was murdered
by reason of the fact that the spot
where the body lay was extremely
difficult of access and practically un-
approacnabIe BY a child of three
years.
George Eckhardt, the gunner who
discovered the body, had been on the

In Sharp Contest for

The question as TO who VIII suc-

place as Democratic leader in the
Senate has developed into an open
struggle between Senator Gilbert NJ.
Hitchcock. Nebraska, and Senator os-
car w. Underwood. Alabama.
Senator Hitchcock's friends sud
denly awoke to the realization that
during the past few days a quiet
movement has been on to land the
leadership for Senator Underwood,
despite the fact that all through the
treaty fight the actual leader of the
Democratic forces has been Senator
Hitchcock.
Some of Senator Underwood's sup
porters, however, went so far as tc
claim that his candidacy has the en-
dorsement of the President
1t is said the Underwood candidacy
has made so much headway that al
most thirty Of the forty-seven Dem
ocratic Senators are ready to vote
for him
Senator Chamberlain, OF Oregon
is actively interested in Senator
Hitchcock's candidacy.
One argument advanced in favor ot
Hitchcock is that the Democratic
party must look to the West and Mid

All Proposals Fall.

All Proposals Fall.
Secretary OF Labor Wilson was
called into the conference about $50
yesterday afternoon after all PROPOSE
tions by either the miners or the
operators had been rejected, including
proposals for arbitration.
With the conference slate thus swept
clean. and matters again at a stand
still, Secretary Wilson. at the request
of the miners. was called to the con-
ference. He then laid before the con-
ferees government data on wages,
costs Of living and other points in
volved.
Both the operators and the miners
came out of the conference in an
optimistic mood and the feeling soon
spread that a settlement was in the
air. despite the fact that the slate had
been wiped clean.
