Presently Captain John G. Capers,

to the platform and was introduced by
Thompson as "a good Democrat"
After this the two men faced each
other and Thompson brandished a
hickory stick which he was using as
a gavel in the face of Capt. Capers
seeing that the negro was bent upon
a row, Capt. Capers hurled him from

DEAN ROGERS DlsAGREEs.
Takes Issue With Presidents Belief
War Is a Good Thing.

New Haven. CT. April 2S.-Dean
Henry Wade Rogers of the Yale Law
School in Il speech at the annual BAN
quet last night of the I'd Co.. Cover
nCr's Foot Guard. took issue with Pres
ident Roosevelt in his theory that war
is necessary to keep nation from de-
generating. He said that war in it
self is not a good thing. contrary to
the Presidents opinion.
Dean Rogers then paid a great trib-
ute to the American soldier and ex-
pressed hope that the day would
come when arbitration would supplant
armed force. He said:
1.-THE President of the United States
believes iE war. 1t is his opinion that
every so often war is necessary to
keep a people from degenerating into a
nation of mollycoddles. The President
is a man OF great ability, of wonder
full versatility, and of no little origi-
nality. hut is he right in supposing
that war is essential to preserve the
greatness of the race?
His idea that war in itself is good
thing, does not originate with him. 1t
Ia an idea which has come down
through ages"

Connecticut Democrats Will Probably
Not instruct Delegation.

New Haven, Conn, April 2S.-Hardly
a ripple disturbed the proceedings of
the Democratic state convention in
New Haven theater tonight which met
to select delegates to the Denver con-
vention. Everything that was done
was>of temporary nature for under
the rules, the delegates to a state con-
vention are themselves delegates to
the county and congressional district
caucuses which make the selections
and then recommend them to the con-
vention for confirmation after the or
ganiZatiOn is perfected. 1t is not eX-
pected that the convention will over
turn the selections of these caucuses.
Each of the eight counties selected a
delegate and each of the four congress
sional districts selected one. leaving
two delegates large to be named by
the convention tomorrow, making the
Connecticut delegation IA members
The delegation is not expected to be
instructed. It's preference as whole,
judged by the individual preferences
of the men named tonight, is said to
be against Mr.. Bryan, although several
of them on it are known to have been
