homes there but recently the Carrot
Coal Co. erected number Of houses
and the bringing in of new men to oc-
cupy these houses and take the places
of the strikers in the mines has worked
the latter up to a high state of excite
ment and resentment. The strikers
have been parading the streets openly
armed. and they have prevented the
moving of the household goods of in
coming miners from the railroad sta
ton to the new company houses.
A horror that may or may not be
connected with the strike situation was
the burning to death of two women
and four children in their homes at
Carrot early this morning. The victims

PETITION GRANTED.
Appeal of Plant Heirs in Connecticut
Recognized.

New Haven, Conn, April 19.-Tna
petition of the heirs of the late million
aire, Henry 3. Plant. asking that the
balance of his estate. amounting 70
over sl6,500,000. be transferred from
Connecticut to the jurisdiction of New
York courts. was, today, granted by
Judge Cleaveland of the probate court
The plant estate has been a subject
of litigation in one form or another in
the Connecticut courts for a long time
At one time the removal of jurisdic-
ton to the New Yorks courts. which
was desired by The executors, was OBJ
iected to by Charles F., Emma j. and
Horace G. Hoadley, all of Waterbury,
who contcnded in the superior court
that their interests would be preju-
diced by the transfer to New York
Later. however, the IIoadleys joined in
n petition to the probate court asking
for the transfer i'll harmony with the
executors.
This petition is answered by the
present decision, which begins by say
ing that since the decree of the probate
court made on June %. 1899 Irobating
The will of Henry Bradley Plant as
resident of New Haven, the supreme
court of the state of New York, in an
action brought by Mrs. Plant. has de-
cidel that Mr.. Plant died a resident
of the city of New York
In accordance with a previous de-
cision. the Judgment of the supreme
court of New York is held 10 be con-
elusive upon courts of probate in Con-
necticut. So far as the records of the
probate court indicated up to the time
of the filing of a copy OF the New York
decision, Mr. Plants domicile was in
New Haven. Since the filing of that
decision, his domicile. Judge Cleave-
land says. should be recognized as New
York. and from that time the admins
tration Of the estate in Connecticut is
to be considered as ancilary to that
in the surrogates court in New York.

ARBITRATION FOR WORLD.
Special Senate Committee Believes We
Should Lead.

Washington. April 19-That world peace
is possible under some such plan CT obi
gatory international arbitration as is now
being considered by special committee
of the Senate is the belief of Senator
Fairbanks of Indiana. the second member
of that committee. Senator Frye, its
chairman. has already emphatically stat
ed that the United States is in n position
to take the lead in this movement and
Senator Fairbanks holds the opinion that
the proper time has come to take action
of decisive chara cter.
In discussing the general scheme of in
ternational arbitration, Senator Fair
banks said:
There is a wholesome and increasing
desire for some method of adjusting diff
ferenceS between nations in some other
manner than by an appeal to the sword
A resort to force to settle International
disputes would seem to be unnecessary
vet that has been n too frequent means
of adjustment for many centuries. There
has been no hour, scarcely. in all the his
tory of human experience when there
might not be heard in some quarter the
harsh notes of war between nations seek
ing to compose the differences.
I'VE are wont to think We live in the
most advanced period of human develop
ment. an age when men are wiser and
more Just than they have been. Yet the
flames of war light up the Far East. How
much blood will be shed or money wasted
to settle the question which diplomacy
has failed to settle, no finite wisdom can
determine.
THE arbitral tribunal affords ready.
fair and honorable way of determining
most of the disputes which arise between
nations. 1t will not be efficacious in all
cases hut that it is capable of setting
many and serious problems there can he
no possible doubt. This agency may be
invoked without the loss of national dig
nity or national self-respcct in adjusting
n vast range of international differences.
There are few questions when may
not he left for the consideration OF Such
n tribunal. but they are comparatively
few.
Questions affecting the national honor
on territorial jurisdiction are not regard
! ed as among those which may properly
he submitted to arbitration. Territorial
disputes may in exceptional cases be read
| iIy and properly arbitrated. In compare
lively recent years the Venezuelan bound
ary was settled by arhin ation and in a
manner entirely consistent with the hon
| or of the parties concerned. The Alas
kan boundary was settled by tribunal.
| created by the United States and Great
/ Eritoin it was not an arbitral tribunal.
' but commission. composed of six jurists,
/ divided equally. There was no indepei-
dent arbitrator. yet a decision was reach

| significant in recent years. 1t is in It's

| ton.

ing would cost not less than $500. 900.
or $4,000 each for the members Of the
Senate. This he pronounced "a piece
of extravaganza which surpassed any
thing he ever had seen offered in the
Senate"

Senator's in Washington should not live
in huts nor stop at wagon yards, nor
should they have their offices in mae
Cessibe portions of the Capitol. He
