a final warning to larranza, \ :11a and

here to-day between Secretary Lans?
ing and the diplomatic representatives
of Argentina. Brazil. Chili, Bolivia,
Uruguay and Guatemala. A definite
time will he fixed in which the Mexican ''
leaders must heal their difficulties, but
r.o alternative was agreed upon.
The purpose of the conference was
to discuss means for putting an end
to chaos in Mexico, but beyond the
agreement to support the I'nited
States in a fit.al warning to the
Mexican enieftains no definite under?
standing was reached. The conference
Will continue to-morrow.
It was learned to-night that the con?
ferred? are not altogether favorable to
that pert of President Wilson's plan
which provides for the recognition of

One point upon which there ?ecmed

there shall be no prolonged diplomatic
exchanges with General Carranza as
there were during the Niagara con?
ference. The message which will go

It wa?- apparent that ?'hile the con?

of th?ir own which conflicted with

The failure to agree to-day on an

was due to a desire of the conferrees
to familiarize themselves with all the

that Carran?a would agree to no plan

IDEAL ANTISEPTIC
IS NEW DISCOVERY
Drs. Carrell and Dakin Find
Remedy Said to Make Wound
Infection Impossible.
Paris, Aug. 5. Dr. Alexis Carrel, of
the Rockefeller Institute of Medical
Research, and Dr. Henry D. Dakin, of
the Lister Institute, have discovered,
after exhaustive experiment at the
Compiegne Military Hospital, what they
declare is the ideal antiseptic.
The most powerful antiseptic known
to science is hypochlorite of lime, but
its use is injurious to the tissues ow?
ing to its acidity, and it does not keep.
Drs. Dakin and Carrel have found these
two defects ere remedied, respectively,
by the addition of carbonate of lime
and boric acid.
Wonderful results have been ob?
tained 4vith the new antiseptic. If ap?
plied in time, it is said to make in?
fection in wounds impossible.

Alone Under Table, Wait?

Louise Mainland, a little girl, ten
years old, and her brother, Albert,
fifteen, have lived for three weeks in
a tent on Lawrence Reach, Long Island,
where the only sound" are the pound?
ing surf and the wind swaying the
trees.
The nearest habitation was two miles
away, but their mother, Mrs. Mary
Mainland, who is said to be a suffrage
leader in Jamaica, considered this a
healthy life for her children. At in?
tervals she would bring thim food.
They lived comparatively comfort?
able until Tuesday night. The black
storm whipped into a gale. They
cuddled in their beds, drawing the
cover? clo-e, but could not sleep, be
? of the booming of the sea and
the blustering wind, which scattered
debris about them.
Then a particular! / strong gust,
lifted the tent and hurled it like a
handkerchief into the ocean. During
the rest of the storm they huddled
under a table.
No one visited them since then, and
each night they have tried to sleep be?
neath this shelter. Yesterday Ton
stable M Ott and Captain William Ryan,
of Lawrence, discovered these babes in
the wood and took them to the home
of Daniel Kenyon, in Lawrence, who

BOMB QUERY SCARES
ITALIAN CONSULATE
Anxiety of Officials Gives Seem ?
ing Proof to Rumor of
Attack.
A report has be?n current at Folice
Headquarter? for several davs that a
bomb was discovered recently in one
of the foreign consulates here. I'olice
Commissioner Arthur Woods and In?
spector Faurot would say nothing about
"Owney" Kgan, inspector of the Ru
rean of Coabostiblea, said "Mum's" the
word, and extra dry. If anything de?
velop? I'll let you know."
The Genaaa Coasalata, -when asked
about the mysterious bomb, said that it
had not heard from the Italian Con?
sulate m qaitc a while. At the Italian
Consulate the word "bomb" caused the
official who -answered the telephone to
hastily drop the receiver, and no
amount of coaxing on the part of "cen?
tral" could re-establish the connection.
At the French and British consulates
it was said that no boml had been re?
ceived by them as yet.
In the mean time the rumor becomes
more persistant at I'olice Headquar?
ters It i? asid that a large force of
detectives has been working on the
?use for ?everal days It is thought
likely that the polici are trving to

OSBORNE RESPITE
TO TEST UPLIFT
Superintendent Puts Ban
on Prizefights and
Sunday Baseball.
PRIVILEGES IN ALL
PRISONS ARE ALIKE
Convicts Now Shy of Transfer?
ring to Sing Sing. Offi?
cials Report.
[B.T T?l?gr?pri to Th? Tribun? ]
Plattsburg, S. Y., Aug. 5. Thomas
Moft Osborne may not be called upon
to resign as warden of Sing Sing, if
certain changes are made in his admin?
istration.
This was intimated by John R. Riley,
Superintendent of Prisons, to-day, in a
long discussion of the crisis which has
arisen between him and the reform
warden. The most objectionable fea?
tures of the present regime at Sing
Sing, Mr. Riley finds, are Sunday base?
ball, violations of the law in permitting
prisoners to visit condemned munlerers
in the death cells, and the presence of
two convicts in a cell at Sing Sing
when there is plenty of room to spare
in Great Meadows and other penal in?
stitutions of the state.
Apart from that, the Superintemlent
? said, he was heartily in favor of any
reform which would help to make good
citizens out of convicts.
Although refusing to say anything
definite regarding his future plans, Mr.
i Riley did not seem at all certain that
! Mr. Osborne would be called upon to
j give up his post
"There is no controversy between
i us." he said. "I shall continue to al?
low him every chance to improve con?
ditions, as long as his efforts do not
seriously interfere with the discipline
of the prisons."
During all the talk between Mr. " -
borne and Mr. Riley two very impor?
tant facts seem to have been over?
looked entirely, according to state?
ments by the latter.
Privileges in Prison?.
One is that the prisoners at Sing
? Sing have no privileges that are not
| enjoyed by the prisoners at Auburn,
I (Jreat Meadow and Dannemora. The
other la that practically all thr^e re?
forms along humanitarian lines were
started and in successful operation
before Thomas Mott ((.?borne was ap?
pointed warden at Sing Sing in fact,
before he interested himself actively
in the prison problem.
Superintendent Rilev talked at.
length about the situation. lie ha?
been an earnest student of prison con?
ditions for many years. He has lived
all his life within a verv few mile*
of Clinton Prison and has long be? '??
interested in the prohlcm.? that rou?
iront the superintendent and wardens.
! He has always advocated humane
methods in dealing with convicts.
Years before he became superintend
' cnt of prisons Mr. Riley was an advo
j cate of the plan now in successful
1 operation for working the prisoners
i on the highways. I? was through his
efforts that the first detail was sent out
I for this work, and he furnished a house
: for them to stay in that summer. This
was long before he ever dreamed of
being superintendent of prisons. These
farts are c.ted to show that he is no
recent convert to humane methods.
Etal he thinks that the thing can
easily be carried too far and too fast.
When he appointed Mr. Osborne as
warden of Sing Sing it was with th*
' idea of giving him an opportunity, un
" hampered, to work out the plans that
Mr. Ochorne had in mind. Never in the
history of the state has any warden
rvr hail such unlimited control of a
I prison as Mr. Osborne has had at Sing
! Sing.
Discontent at Sing Sing.
At first Mr. Oabome'a activities at
Sing Sing caused serious discontent
1 among the prisoners in other prisons.
1 They got the impression that the men
| at Sing Sing were having a regular
\ "picnic." Then thev gradually learned
| there were disadvantages in living
i under Mr. Oshorne's rule at Sing Sing,
! and thev now, as a rule, are not
? anxious either to be transferred to
Sing Sing or to be managed as War
; den Osborne is trying to manage his
I prisoners.
Proof of this is the failure of the at
I tempt made recently to organize a mu
| tual welfare league at Great Meadows
! and Dannemora,
Mr. Riley ha? refused to enter into
any controversy with Warden Osborne.
Hi insists that there is no controversy,
I go far a?, he ia concerned He Will con
| tmue to- allow Warden Osborne every
possible i.iance to improve conditions
so long as Mr. Oshorne's efforts do not
seriously endanger the discipline in the
prisons.
Mr. Riley made the following state?
ment :
"When appointed superintendent I
found that in all the prisons officials
1 generally believed that the only meth
I od of preserving order and disciplino
?was hy harsh repressive treatment.
? Confinement in d.-irk cells on short ra?
' tions was regarded as the most ef?
fective punishment for violations of
iules. After careful consideration I
ordered the removal of the dark cell.?'
doors, and there have since been no dark
', cells in any of the state prisons. It
1 was a violation of the prison rules for
' one inmate to speak to another at any
[ time. Freedom of conversation is now
permitted in all the prisons.
"Under the most favorable condition?
prisoners were locked In their cell?
fourteen hours of each day; most of
them were employed in shops sight
I hours. Recreation and exercise in the
; open was not permitted.
"All prisoners, except those under
punishment for misconduct, after
eight hours' work in the shops, are
allowed an hour's exercise in the yard
each dav. Thev art- also allowed ex?
ercise in tho prison yard on Sundays
i.nd holidays. First grade prisoners
viere permitted to write one letter
each month. Thev are now perni:tti'i
to write as nianv letters as thev
please; the state furnishes the stamp
for a weeklv letter, arid the prisoner
furnishing his own stamp for such

?. S. WILLING
TO ARBITRATE
FRYE DISPUT
Believes This the On
Way to Settle the Issue
with Germany.
[ !*r~m The Tribune Iluraan ]
Washington, Aug. 5. The State I
partmen? has virtually decided to si
mit the controversy with Germany 04
the Frye case to an arbitration tribun
rejecting the German alternative ofl
to have the amount of damages fixed
two experts, one to be designated
each government. This solution, ol
cials sav. is the only one possible
view of the deadlock on the interpret
t.o'i of the treaty of lf?28.
Kfforts will be made to have the que
Don arbitrated as soon as possible, ai
not after the war, as Germany mig
prefer. The Washington governme
considers boato desirable, as Germ?t
has shown by torpedoing the Leelona
that she does not intend to observe tl
American interpretation of the treal
pending a settlement.
The German interpretation of tr
treaty called into ?luestion by the d?
struction of the William I*. Frye is ei
actly the opposite of the constructio
by the Unite?! States. American dip!?
mats insist on a literal reading of th
treaty, while Germany holds that
must be read in the light of the specif
circumstances that surrounded the cap?
. ure of the vessel.
The treaty itself is categorical, an
officials say it was drawn to cover jus
such a case as that of the Frye. "In th
case of a vessel stopped for articles o
contraband," the treaty says, "if th
master of the vessel stopped will de
liver out the goods supposed to he o
contraband nature, he shall he admitte,
to do it, and the vessel shall not il
that case he earned into any port no
further detained, but .-hall be allowe?
to proceed on her voyage "
In no respect, officials declare, doe
the Frye case differ from that cited it
the treaty. The German contention i:
that "military necessity" forbade thi
exercise of the right to jettison the car
go, as s i long a time would have beer
1 consumed that the German vessel woul?
have been imperilled.

Member of Parliament by prof,'s?inn,
latterly a Germsay spy by forre of cir?
cumstances and arrested on ?i chargo
of forgery in Brooklyn on Wednesday,
cheerfully remarked yesterday when
arraigned before Judge Veeder that he
had be"n employed by the German
Secret Servi-e almost since the war
began.
He states that the forgery charge,
which culminated through the efforts of
the Rri'ish Ambasador and the British
Consul in New York is merely a means
of returning him to England, where it
will be drooped, and he will immediatly
be tried as a spy.
He also declares that his arrest is
a means of preventing him from pub?

International Spy," which he says, will
contain photographic documents expos?
ing the true causes of the war that will
cause a sensation when made public.
"Do you want to go back to England?'
he was asked.
"No," he replied emphatically, as the
Tower of London appeared in h:s

Lincoln denies the forgery charge,

BOMBARD TRAIN
Mountain Guns Destroy
Troops and Ammunition
on Way to Front.
[Bv Pah!? to Tli? Tribun? I
London, Aug. 5. Two Austrian mili-j
j tary trains have been destroyed by the
| Italian artillery, according to a dis
! patch from Lai bach, received here to*
1 day. Five hundred soldiers were burned
1 to death in the troop train and eight i
; cars of ammunition exploded in the,
second, the dispatch says.
Both trains were on their way to
I Rovereto on the Borge-Levico railroad
when they were discovered by the oh
servers of the Italian mountain battery.
Owing to the grade the range of the
i slow- moving trims was easily found,
1 and the destruction was completed be
j fore they had a chance to escape.
The Austrian military authorities, it
is reported, hindered by Italian guns,
are working feverishly to clear away
the wreckage and reopen the road for
I military supplies, which are badly
j needed,
i F'rom (ieneva word is received of a
i fresh Italian effort against Gorizia.
More heavy guns have been brought up
and the systematic bombardment of ?h>?
', Austrian defences begun. The Aus
; trians are said to be making only a
feeble reply.
Kxcept for Austrian counter attacks
on Mount Meilatta, and on Monte Sei
busi, the Italian statement, confines
itaelf to small and insignificant ac
jtions. The report received to-night
j from the Italian General Staff bead?
! quarters follows :
Our heavy batteries directe?! an
effective fire on the station of
Borgo, on the railroad in Va! Su
gana, where there is an important
freight traffic.
The enemy's losses in stubborn

A peculiarity of the colonial soldier
is his dislike of clothes. I suppose
that since the dervishes made their
last charge at Omdurman no such
naked army has ever been seen. The
: British Tommy likes the majority of
his worldly goods hanging round him.
Men in our front trenches sit with
their packs on, sweating in the broil?

But it is extremely rare to find an
Australian wearing anything except a
pair of shorts, which are preserved
only by a lingering feeling of decency
kept alive by memories of the mixed
bathing sea.?on at Sydney. These gar?
ments, starting a few months ago ?s
full length trouser?, have now arrived
half way up to the thigh. In this
primitive costume Australians and New
: Zealanders live and work and fight,
i 'heir huge frame? and gaunt limbs
I burnt to a dull brick red.

London. Aug. 5.?The f?ermar.s
are in possession of Warsaw, c;.p
ital of Poland and the third largest
city in the Russian Empire. Bavar

inner fortresses of the town itself
the Russians only lighting rear
guard actions to allow their main
army to make pood its escape.
An official communication from
Petrograd admits the retreat. It
says :
"In view of conditions and the
general situation, our troops west of
Warsaw have received orders to fall
back on the right bank of the Vis?
tula.
"According to reports received this
order was carried out and the troops
which were covering Warsaw retired
at 5 o'clock this (Thursday) morn?
ing without being attacked, toward
the new front assigned to them.
"They blew up behind them all the
bridges over the Vistula."
The communication also admits
the evacuation of Ivangorod, saying:
"In the Ivangorod district tho
Russians have crossed to the right
bank of the Vistula, blowing up the
bridges behind them."

The Russians ?re fighting despersteiy

of these four armfe?. and have had
several successes, inflicting heavy logic*
on their pursuers, but they are being

Kvcn now, although the steadiness of
the Russian troops and their fierc?
counter attacks have gamed much
valuable time, it is problematical
, whether the whole Russian army will
! succeed in reaching the new positions
chosen for it or whether, if it should
get there, it will not find those posi

, have crossed the Hug southeast of
\ (.'holm, and the (iermans under Gen
