By Timet Special Corrrtponilrnt
Washington D. C July 21. The
dlstrubing crisis in Mexico occupied
the whole or President Wilson's tune
und the first three hours of the session
of the senate this afternoon. So en-
grossed was the President that sev-
eral senators who called to confer
with him were denied an Interview.
The discussion of the rrtala In the
senate was streaked with lurid pas-
sages between Senators Fall Bacon
Lodge and 1-ewls and at one stage
looked as If the administration's poli-
cy in regard to the grave state of af-
fairs In Mexico would be definitely
outlined without further ado-
Events undeniably are moving the
administration towards the declara-
tion of a positive policy with referen
ce to Mexico faster than Ambassador
Wilson Is hastening toward Wssliing-
tnn and the annoum-ement of that po-
licy Is Impatiently awaited by those In-
clined to give existing signs an omin-
ous Interpretation.
POIJCY OP DELAY
The policy of delay with more delay
Is driving this country Into war with
Mexico was declared on the floor of
the senate by Senator I nil of New
Mexico. Because the past adminis-
tration and the present one up to this
time followed the policy of letting
matters with respect to Mexico drag
hoping "something would turn up"
senator F'all emphasized his belief
that there waa grave danger lu the
situation.
He warned the senate that certain
failure would result from the present
policy and that war would come out
of It.
Ill s i TO AVOID WAR
"This la a republic" he said "we
hesitate more than any other nation
on the globe lest It Involve us In ajar
We hesitate and rightfully so. Flu-
ally we are aroused by some great
disaster like the hiowing-ap of the
Maine and then the people of this
warlike nation take things Into their
own hands and carry on a war for
conization."
He declared It had been In the pow-
er of tile last administration and was
III tiie power of this one to prevent
war by strong action. Senator fall
lollourd with a description of present
condition-. In vtei- and a strong
plea for a firm stand l this country
against outrages to American life aud
property.
WOtT-D PREVENT WAR
He declared his own put puss was
to prevent war. not to bring It on and
that this had bean his purpose

This declaration was approved by Sen-
ator Lodge or Massachusetts who ox-
pressed dlsspoplntment that the new
president and new secretary or state
had not Inaugurated a different Max-
lean policy. That the delicacy of tha
situation was keenly appreciated waa
evidenced hy the Insistence or many
snators led by Senator Bacon chair-
man or the rorelgn relations commit
tee that any proposed pronuncla-
ment be considered deliberately and
seriously before being acted upon.
Pall li- tla KesslsOSw.
Senator rail called up his resolution
which would commit the government to
"full protection or the constitutional
rights of American cltlxens In rorelgn
nations." That tha resolution was di-
rected against Mexico. Senator Bacon
declared couVd not be concealed and
In moving to rcter It to the for-lKn re-
lations committee he asserted that
"words are very serious things some-
times and this 1 one or the times."

Senator Works of California assert-
ing thst tha rail resolution constltutsd

Senator rail averred that every act or
his had ben prompted with the earnest
desire to prevent war and that he vain
ly had sought to bring the rormer ad
ministration to a realisation or the
fact that a stern Mexican policy would
have prevented rather than precipitate
war.
Resolution Oeea Over.
The policy or delay waa raanonalhlo
for the political situation which he
Intimated yet might demand Interven-
tion. Action on the resolution today
-Was prevented and It went to the cal-
endar for future disposition.

In the tragedy this arternoon the

upon the heels of the alarm. There
was smsll opportunity for any one
to use the ordinary or even tho emer-

quently In fact that the employes
hsd found them monotonous.
The building waa equipped wllh fire

panies snswred this alarm.
That meant ten minutes delay for
