Reason. for De'clininE.


The president has addressed letter
to Sir Michael Herbert, the British am
bassador, declining to act as arbitra-
tor, and giving his reasons for not ac-
cepting the invitation. The commune
cation was turned over to Secretary
Hay, who handed it to the diplomatic
representative of Great Britain. Ger
many and Italy having verbally agreed
to accept Minister Bowen's proposal,
except on the question of preferential
treatment, which will be referred to
The Hague tribunal.
Propositions offered.
The propositions offered by Mr.. Bow
en- are cash payment of s27, 500 to Ger
many, Great Britain and Italy; prefer
entail treatment for the blockading
powers for a period of three monthsin
the division of 30 per cent. Of the GUS
toms receipts of Puerto Cabello and
La Guayra, after which time all powers
will be on equal footing;; immediate
raising of blockade; appointment of a
commission to adjudicate the claims
of each nation involved, these commits
sions to consist Of one representative
of the power interested, one of Vene-
zuela, and if these two are unable to
agree the king of Spain or the presi-
dent of France to appoint the third
member, who will act as umpire; if
Venezuela fails for period of 30 days
to make payments agreed upon repre-
sentatives of Belgium will enter the
customs houses at Puerto Cabello and
La Guayra and administer the customs
until all claimants have been paid.
Means End of Blockade.
Protocolswith each of the allied pow
ers will be drawn up and signed, and
unless further complications arise the
blockade will soon be raised. These
protocols will cover all points con-
tanned in the proposals made by Mr..
Bowen, and the immediate success or
failure of the negotiations will depend
on whether the allied powers incorpo-
rate in them new conditions which can
not be accepted by Minister Bowen on
behalf of Venezuela.
In addition to the terms offered to
the allied powers, the protocols will
contain all the details relating to the
division of the customs receipts and
the administrative features in connec-
ton with their collection and distribu-
ton.
Victory for Bowen.
In administration and diplomatic
circles the reference to The Hague
is regarded as victory for Minister
Bowen, as Venezuela thereby is en-
abled to recover from the distressing
effect of the blockade before start
ing upon the payment of her debts.
The cumbersome machinery of The
Hague, it is expected, will delay mat
tiers considerably and the payment OF
creditor nations cannot begin until
the important question of priority
payment for the allies is decided.
The finding of The Hague tribunal
may not be handed down for some
months.
The tribunal also will decide the
vital question to South American
states as to whether blockades and
bombardments entitle powers to
preferential treatment at the hands
of their debtor.

FRIENDS OF ALBERT LgGGE
Railroad Men Have Interested Then

Railroad Men Have Interested Them
 selves in Caring for Family.
 The railroad men apd othars feel az grleVsa at the dnsinuation that they have dome nothing ta help the widow and children Of the late Albert Legge, ana Deg laava to say that tha imputa- tion is absolutely false. A commit tee Called at ths Democrat office to- day and made the.f following statement:
 We. are doing all ia Allr power to help the widow ahd children of MT Legge and took tha initiative in this direction before he was buried Last Saturday Yardmaster Pagan started out with a petition which he is circu- fatlng on the railroad and about town and has already raised $1OO. MT Lef- Der took another paper along the NaHgatnek line and dn other places and has collected S6O. Our intention is to keep it up until we make it $2OO, and we don't propose to stop there, provid- ca more is needed. If the strike breakers are raising money for Mrs Aegge. that is something we know noEhing about but if they wish to lend hand they should do so without mak- ing 8 play to the band stand or hav- ing it done for them by others at our expense.
 '1The statement that none of the trolleymen attended MT Legge's funer- al is 8 lie. We were there and saw some of the trniieymen at the house They also eeRtsibHtsd a handsome floral tribute, The frainanaa were present and also sent flowers We knew of nothing that lies in our pow CT thaf has been left undone to sym pathize with and aid MT Legge's fam fly. To be sure, we are not able to bring back the dead and thus remove and this is fhe anly way such a thing could be aecomph hshed-the affiiction which has come to them. We hope this statement will satisfy every hon est man and woman in Waterbury that those with whom Albert Lagge associ- ated during life were his friends and mat they are not upInindful of the duty they owe his bereaVed widow and childrsn.n
 Some other things were said, but perhaps what it has been decided to usA Is sufficient, The committee called at the Democrat office and showed a reporter the papers they are eirculat ing. They were made out last Satur- day so that while the strike breakers are doing q good work in raising funds for Mr Legge's family the effort to be- lie others who have preceded them l spells the effect 1t would have provid- eA they bad gone ahead without trying l to use it as a club to whack the dead 1 mans friends with. But never mind 1 about that. The money will come in l handy, no matter who gathers it. and 1 every man who helps swell the amount 1 should be given due credit Never 1 mind Hhe motive. Whether it is hon l cts or not 1t will have no effect upon

RULES FOR BARBER SHOPS.
May Cause Trouble for Proprietors But
 Patrons Are Satisfied

atAoAS AAO G0lSAS1.
 The new rules adopted for the gov ernment of barber shops will cause considerable trouble in some quarters. It will force more than one knight of the razor to look up sleeping apart ments and it is thought all of them will have to do little more in the fu- ture than they have done in the past in order to come within the law. The rules are as follows:
 l. No razor, pair of shears or clip pers used upon any person, shall be used upon any other person until such razor, pair of shears or clippers shall be sterilized by immersion, not less than five minutes in one per cent so- lution of tricresol.
 ?. No towel,- whether dry or hot towel, shall be used upon any GUS toner unless such towel shall be clean, and such towel must be boiled before being used again.
 3. No cup or father brush shall De used upon any customer until such cup and brush shall be thoroughly washed in boiling water.
 4. The floor, walls, furniture and fixtures of every barber shop shall be kept clean. Eyary cuspidqr aAd waste paper bowl shall be eieansed with boil- ing water at least once eyeSy twenty four hours. No loose hair shall be al- lowed to accumulate on the floor of any barber shop.
 5. Every barber while on duty in his shop shall be neat and clean in his per sonal appearance. Every barber shall wash his hands thoroughly before serVr ing customer, and en serving another customer shall again wash his hands. 6. No barber who has any venereal or other conta gieus disease shall pfae- tice his trade. No proprietor of any barber shop shall retain in his employ any barber known to have an venereal or other contagious disease. z. The use in barber shops of finger bowls, powder puffs and sponges is prohibited, and no barber shall keep either of them on his working stand. g. All combs, hair brushes, hair clusters and other articles used upon the persons of customers, shall be at all times kept thoroughly clean and washed at frequent intervals In water of ammonia or solution of borax. All soap, perfume, bay rum, witch hazel and other toilet articles and all anti- septic solutions, shall be of good qual- ity.
 9. No barber shop shall be consid- cred to be in a sanitary condition if any part of the shop is used as 2 lfv- ing, cooking or sleeping apartment.
