Washington, March 10.-The peace treaty compromise negotiations en- tered a period of fevered uncertainty today. as the time approached for final senate action on Article 10.
 Working desperately for an agree ment. senators on both sides of the chamber confounded the plans of their party leaders and threw the senate into such a tangle that it tacitly was agreed to delay vote for several days in the hope that all ele- ments might be more certain of their ground.
 The hopes of the compromise ad- vocates collapsed and were revived hourly as the days negotiations pro- ceedcd in private conference while debate on the floor dragged on with out apparent interest or effect. To- night the conferences continued, with some senators hopeful and some hope less of the outcome, but with no one confident of what might happen.
 It was the treaty's irreconcilable republican opponents who started the trouble by demonstrating in a mili- tant way against the decision of some or their party leaders to assent to a modsied draft of the republican reservation of Article Ten. So eff fective were their representations that the leaders virtually decided not to oqer the new reservation at all.
 This determination sent of the mild reservation republicans on the war path and produced confusion also on the democratic side, where senators labored several days to line up votes for the republican substitute. Caught in a crOss-fire from reservation re- publicans and reservation democrats the republican leaders withheld theii final decision but indicated that they probably would present the substi- tute if assured of enough democratic defections to adopt it.
 Meantime disagreement among tho democrats became more pronounced partly as a result of meeting in the office of Senator Owen, democrat Oklahoma, at which a number of the democratic senators are understood tC have expressed approval of tn, course of their party leaders and tt have promised active support to tn, mOyerneht to break away from Presi aent Wilson and accept the best com. promise they could get.
 Among some republican advocate! ot compromise it was declared ton gh that thirty-two democratic votes could be mustered for the Article Ter substitute and there were indica tions that unless the republican lead CTS did present it. one of the republi can mild reservationists might do SC It also was suggested that if the re publicans abandoned 1t entirely, i might be presented by a reservation democrat.
 While virtually the entire senat membership was occupied with thes negotiations, the article ten reserva ton technically Was taken up for de bate in an almost deserted senat chamber. But the irreconcilable were taking no chances that the un settled situation would result in stampede, and they got the floor an

CAILLAUX CLAIMS A TRAP
 WAS LAID FOR HIM IN ITALY

Paris, March 10.-Only two witness es were heard today at the trial of Former Premier Joseph Caillaux be- fore the senate as a high court on the charge of intriguing to promote a dis honorable and premature peace with Germany. They were Charles Roux, counsellor of the French embassy at Rome, and Commandant Noblemaire, formerly military attache at the same embassy.
 Their testimony as to the activities of the accused in Italy in 1916 was of such a character that the former pre- mier appeared much perturbed at several points and towards the end of the day he gave signs of weakening from the strain of the proceedings. He recovered his boise ultimately, how ever and finished the day in appar- ently good spirits.
 M. Roux swore that Caillaux's re- lations in Italy were confined to pa cifsts, the former premier associating exclusively with men at present under indictment on the charge of having had intelligence with the enemy The witness added that Caillaux was not a victib of imprudence but had chosen his suspected companions advisedly, which was the reason why the en- baSy had not warned him as it had done in the case of Deputy Leboucq, few months before. when the latter was frequenting the same company. NJ. Caillaux laid emphasis on the fail ure of the embassy to warn him and said that if he had been forewarned he would have ceased his relations with the pacifsts immediately.
 ''The embassy was under the i'm precision that 1 was in Italy for no good purpose" said M. Caillaux. Tt thought I was in Italy on treason bent and laid trap for me. It wanted to get me and m order to do so was willing to jeopardize the security of France and give me time to accom- piish a separate peace. had it ever for a moment entered my mind to dc SO"

SOPRANOACCUSES
 OPERA bARIT0NE; MAY DEPORT HIM
Game From Russia, She Says, With Baklanof Be-
 lieving Him Single.

Chicago, Jan. 7.---George Bak1anoff, baritone, and one of the stars of the Chicago Grand Opera company, was arrested here last night on deporta- ton warrant. He Is 8 Russian, but his arrest has nothing to do with the current roundup of alien Commun- ists The charges against him are in connection with a woman, also 6 Rus sian opera singer.
 The singer was brought before Inn migration Commissioner Landis Af ter 8 short hearing he was released under bonds of $s,0o0
 The woman in the case is Mile. FL vira Amazar, a. soprano, who came here from Russia in 1915 on the same steamship with Bajklanoff, both being engaged for the tour of the Boston Garnd Opera company. Mile. Anna zar's story of her relations with the baritone was responsible for the issu- ance of a warrant for his arrest is- sued by Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 According to the woman's story, Baklanon brought her to this country under an understanding by which she expected to become his wife. At that time, she says, she believed he was unmarried They travelled together, she goes on, because she thought he intended to marry her. She charges that she later discovered that her sup posed fince had a wife and family.
 Banka.loff and the woman are stop ping at the same hotel here. The bar itone was arrested there. He said he intended to put up strenuous right against deportation, and 1t was tnti-
 mated that the wealthy packers Of the opera company would help him. His
 loss would be a serious blow to the artistic standing and commercial suc- n hoe popular in all his roles. Only last
 week he made a big hit in the part
 of Rip Van Wrinkle, De Koven's new opera.
 Baklanoff and Mile. AmaZar have figured in the public prints before. In April, 1917, the woman suedi him for S26,0oO damages on the charge that he attacked her when they were travel ing together in the Boston Grand Opera Go. She obtained an order of attachment against Baazlanof on the ground that he came to New York | only @ few days at a time.
 In court she said she had known the baritone since January, 1915; and thai he had wife and children in Russia. The suit was settled in May, 1917. The terms were not made public.
 When Mile. AmaZar arrived here in | 1915 she gave her age as P and said she had sung at the Theatre of Mu- sical Drama in Petrograd. It was an- l nounced that she had been engaged l by Alexander Kahn for performances
 of the Boston Grand Opera company l She Startled those who saw her land efor she was one of the first to veal
