So far as the number of delegates
goes, the Baltimore convention will be
the largest in American history. There
will be 1904 delegates, or sixteen more
than the Republican convention, due to
the fact that the Democrats allow six
delegates to the territories. while the
Republicans, except In the case of
Hawaii, provide for only two. The
seating capacity OF the Fifth Regiment
armory. where the Democratic hosts
gather, was originally said to be 10000,

the seating capacity of the Republican

Why Should We Leave Disputed Questions To A Commission That Might Be Composed Entirely Of Foreigners?
 He Asks
Mastery Analysis of Weakness of Pending Arbitration Agreements By Distinguished Senator From Mas
 sachusetts In Ringing Address In Senate Today

that of the power of the United States and it's navy. Do you think the Am erican people would arbitrate it? do not and I do not think it ought to be arbitrated.''
 Other questions that would not be arbitrated, Senator Lodge declared, would Se the attempted purchase by a foreign power of the Galapagos Islands, owned by Ecuador, which lie near the western mouth of the Pana- ma Canal; or of the island of Curacao, owned by Holland, near the eastern end of the canal.
 Take the question of immigration Chinese, or. if you prefer, Asiatic, ' said Lodge. T do not believe the American people would ever permit such a question to be arbitrated.
 Take the question of Southern bonds. I do not think the question ought to be arbitrated
 will you arbitrate with Russia the question of her right to discrim- mate against certain classes of Amer ican citizens on the ground of race and religion, as we discriminate against certain immigrants on the ground of crime and disease. I am not willing to submit these questions to arbitration.
 Under the treaties as they stand Lodge asserted:
 ''The tolls to be charged by us in our own expense, might be brought before a tribunal. in whole or in part composed of foreigners. to be fixed and determined by them.
 Worse than this our title to our own canal might be called in question. Three successive secretaries of state have refused, and properly refused, to submit our title to arbitra ton, and now under clause 3 of Article 3, as I interpret it, we might be forced to submit that title to the Hague court or some outside tribunal. The men who reject the Hay-Herran treaty be- ca use they hoped to extort more than $10 a0O-o0O from us for their own use and behoof are even now struggling through assistants in this country who mean to share the spoil. to secure by arbitration what they failed to obtain by blackmail and could not seize by violence.
 Our title to the canal or to our territory anywhere is not to be drag ged before any tribunal for examina- tion and determination and noth'ng should be subscribed to by us which by any twisting could be construed into a promise that we would submit such question to any judgment but our own.
 ''I might cite other questions not arbitrable or to be arbitrated but I have said enough to show what might happen under Article 3 of the trea- ties.'

Especial from United Press.l

Washington, Feb. 29.-Not only the Monroe Doctrine, but Americas title to the Panama Canal might be jeo- pardized if the British and French arbitration treaties were ratified in their present form, according to sensational speech in the Senate to- day by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts.
 The scholarly Bay State soIon plead ed that the United States should not leave disputed questions to a commis- sion that might be composed entirely of foreigners, and yet who would have full authority to decide whether they were ''justiciabIe" according to the principles of Flaw and equity.'
 We are entirely in the dark said Hague court, or a special commission or high commission of inquiry might give to the word 'justiciable,' or to the words law and equity"
 Lodge contended that the provision creating the high joint commission with its supreme authority should be stricken from the treaties or that it be made clear in the resolution of ratification that no question should be submitted to arbitration without the consent of the Senate.
 Lodge, persons who are willing to submit the arbitrability of every in- ternational question to an outside commission made up in whole or in part of the citizens of subjects of foreign nations.
 But the great mass of the people of this country believe that there are certain questions that might arise which they would never consent to submit to the arbitration of any out side tribunal.
 Suppose, for example. some great eastern power should directly or in directly take possession of a harbor on the west coast of Mexico for mak- ing it naval station hnd a. place. of arms. I am using ..o~ 4.es$ atioll in suggesting such a case. It Is not very long since an indirect movement was begun, and 1t is apparently still on foot, to obtain possession for a foreign power of Magdalena Bay, so may fairly suppose that such a case might arise.''
 Lodge referred, of course, to Japan. He added that if such an attempt should be made the United States would protest that it was a violation of the Monroe doctrine.
 What chance" he asked, "do you think the Monroe doctrine would have before a commission made up in part of persons not Americans? The Mon roe doctrine is not international law. It is a policy of the United States. declared as essential to it's safety, and the strength of the doctrine is exactly

 Neighbours Barn

Edward Scofield. of Wilton, who is on trial before Judge Burpee and a jury in the criminal superior court on the charge of burning the barn Of Edward Van HoOser of Wilton, testi- fled in his own behalf this morning. He denied he burned the barn or that he knew anything about the matter. Scofield said he was in bed on the night of the fire and did not leave the house until he saw the flames from the burning building.
 The accused contradicted the state ment of his wife wt1o testified yester- day that her husband and another man filled two bottles with kerosene on the night of the fire. Scofeld de- nied making threats against Van Hooser as Mrs. Scofeld claimed. The accused said he had no i'll feeling to- ward Van Hooser.
 Justice William Hubbell of Wilton before whom Scof1eld was tried in the preliminary hearing. aroused some laughter by his strange ideas of law He said he never paid any attention to what prisoners said before they were arrested. The trial was still on at press hour.

CHANDLER TURNS HIS BACK ON
 ROOSEVELT NOW
Unkindest Gut of All Comes From Republican Repre- sentative From Rocky Hill.

Norwalk. Feb. 29-George B. Chan dler of Rocky Hill, speaking at the annual banquet of the Board of Trade, last night, said that the candidacy Of Theodore Roosevelt for President came to him as a personal blow. He be lieves in the renomination of President Taft. MT. Chandler said in part:
 For more than twenty years have been an admirer and supporter of Theodore Roosevelt. I never have al- lowed the clever press agency work and the systematic campaign of de- famation which has been carried on against him to warp my judgment or to lessen my regard. I always have believed him to be, and still believe him to be, a genuine friend of human ity-a sometimes mistaken enthusiast, but never a demogague.
 For this reason and many others his public announcement that he would actively enter the field at this time as a candidate for nomination for the Presidency against President Taft comes to me in the nature of a per- sonal blow.
 Nor can agree with the Columbus speech in which Colonel Roosevelt has enunciated his personal platform. confess that would like to do so, and have tried to find reasons why I might do so, for I strongly suspect that he has taken the popular side of the issue cannot do 1t"

 a Night
Tells of First Serious Blow
 Which Forced Him to Agree to Reorganization
Especial from United Press.)


 Chicago, Feb. 29-Declaring that year in and year out he had fought the beef combine, that ever since he started in the packing business in 1868 he had borne the brunt of tha combined attacks of allied interests, Ferdinand Sulzberger, aged 72. veter- an of the packing industry, today, con- tinUed his story before the jury in Judge Carpenters court, where 10 men, alleged heads of the beef trust, are on trial.
 With the gIint of battle still in his eyes, the veteran told how he had been affected when the Veeder dream for billion dollar meat combine was being planned in 1900
 The company was to be merged with the others. The moment the scheme failed and he saw there was a chance for him to operate, Sulzberger declar- ed he again took the field single handed, to fight for business against the Armour, Swift, Morris and Cuda- hy interests.
 we charged high prices when we thought we could get them and we grew slack. Often I changed my whole plan of business at night when my competitors were asleep and 1 thought I could get an advantage he said.
 Then he told of the first serious blow that was dealt his company, which forced him to agree to a re-or- ganization. Sulzberger told that he used the same general methods of computing costs and selling prices as those described by employees of tho al- lied concerns.

JUAREZ LIKELY TO BE CENTER OF REBELLION

Fl Paso. Feb. 29-That Juarez will be the storm center of the Nasquista revolution in Mexico for some time to come is indicated in adViceS received from Mexico City today. When the VasquistaS tom morrow move the bulk of their forces upon Chihuahua, the Mex ican government, it is said, will send a sufficient force to retake Juarez.
 In a private despatch from Mexico City, it is said here, Madero has stat ed finally that he has no idea of re- signing the presidency Or of giving up Ju&rez, the chief port of entry in Northern Mexico. The Juarez custom house has been officially closed by Madero and officially opened by order of General Ynez Sa1azar, one of the rebel commanders. Plans have been perfected for moving 2,5OO Vasquistas from Juarez to Chihuahua, Friday morning. It is not expected that Chi huahua garrison will resist. A gar rison of POO men will be left in Juarez.
 A telegram from President Madero at Mexico City insists that his troops are sufficient to restore quiet in the republic within a few weeks.

London, Feb. 29.-Compulsory leg islation by parliament is now the last hope of the officials to settle the big coal miners strike which, up to late this afternoon, had affected more than 900,OOO men and was expected to involve more than a million by midnight.
 The tie-up of the mines through out the country is complete. Many of the men quit ahead of time and those who remained at work did so only until their notice to their enl- ployerS Of intention to quit, compul- sorry under the law, became effective.
 Today's meetings of the strike com mittee and employers proved futile. Each side stood stubbornly by it's guns the rank and file insisting on Q minimum wage scale.
 Meanwhile, the garrisonS in every army fort and post in the country are in readiness for instant use.

WHITE SLAVERS MAY BE TRIED
 NEXT TUESDAY

The cases of the ten alleged white slavers will probably not be consid, cred in the criminal superior court until next week. The fact that Judge Burpee excused the jurors from this afternoon until next Tuesday makes it certain that no trials will be held to- morrow.
 As predicted yesterday. the court reduced the bonds of the men who have been languishing in jail for over a week. The Cozza brothers, Frank and Ernest. had their bonds reduced to S1,O00 each. In the cases of Fa- briazO Cavillo, James Matto. Chilli nio Gregario, Albert Festa, Gaetano Romano, James AricoIo and Franh Matto bonds were reduced to $500. All had previously been held in $S S,OOo bail. Domenico Cesare is the only oHe whose bond was not reduced It is claimed that the state has plenty of evidence against him but has noth- ing very strong against the others
 Ernest and Frank Cozza, who con duct a restaurant at 279 Water street were the first of the white sIavers to obtain bonds. They were brought down from the county jail this after- noon and after filing bonds of S1 COG each with Assistant Clerk Tracy of the Superior court, were allowed to 20.

TAFT AND TEDDY DELEGATES WAR
 IN SAME HALL

Excelsior Springs, Mo, Feb. 29-The first test of strength between the Taft and Roosevelt factions in Missouri to- day developed the hottest political
 fight in the history of the State.
 When they found the doors to the hall in which the 3rd Congressional district convention was to be held were locked to all except delegates seated by the Congressional Comm: s. sion, the Roosevelt delegates rigged up platform and prepared to hold their convention in the street. The opening of the recognized convention was de- layed until this afternoon, because of con tests.
 Then the Roosevelt men moved into the rear of the hall and started their convention. s. P. Davidson was nam ed temporary chairman of the Taft convention and Asa w. Butler, of the Roosevelt session So bitter was the feeling that personal encounters were narrowly averted, but the leaders had seated the delegates so that the Taft forces were Solidly in control of the regular convention
