New Yorkers Listen With Attention to Approval. Organized Demonstration Then Stops Meeting. Carnegie and Coudert able to Speak. Un- P0LICE ARE CALLED IN New York, Dec. 12.

A riotous outbreak interrupted, a large mass meeting held at Carnegie Hall to-night in support of the arbitration treaties which President Taft has proposed with England and France. Twenty-eight reserve policemen were hurried to the hall. The outbreak occurred after Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, had read resolutions urging the Senate to ratify treaties, and Al- fonse G. Koeible, of the German-American Citizens' -League of the State of- New1 York, moved that the majority resolution of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations he adopted a. substitute for the Butlerresolution.

This declaratlon'is ncit a promoter of peace, but a 'breeder of war," he ex- cLaimed, and the worda were scarcely out of his mouth when men jumped to either side of the stage and raised their hmda in an apparent -signal, whereupon pande-mcnium was let loose in the upper galleries. Women Alarmed. Cat-caKs, yells and prnans and hissea made it impossible for Chairman Joseph II. Choate to prcceed with the meeting. One man on the platform jumped and shouted.

"That packed gallery is composed of a of coward.s." At this the shouts became inudcr and mcya phonos were brought Into use. Women in boxes jumped to their feet. looking their escorts, many evidently fearing the throwing of 3. bomb. In the midst of the noise Chairman Choate announced that the Butier resolution hud been unanimously adopted.

Persons on the main floor took this as a signal for a counter demonst ration, jumped to their feet, shouted approval and waived their handkerchiefs and hits, Carnegie Amazed-Andrew Carnegie was down on the programme as the next speaker, but he sat in apparent amazement at tiie demonstration, and in his piaee Rabbi Sccpiion Wise asked for a hearing. He met with suth cries as up" and "throw him out" from the galleries. Abore all" he shouted: "I warn you that no people.

Koeible, whose resolution had precipitated the outbreak, called in vain ro the people iin the gallery to show a spirit of fair play.

Finally police reserves reached the gallery and ejected the leaders, but no arrests were made. Chairman Choate's 'Comment. Chairman Choate, in announcing journment of the said: ad- "The action here to-night has done more to cause the ratified of these peace treaties than all the peace speeches that could be ma-de during the evening. As chairman I tk-clare the meeting adjourned without the audience listening 10 the speeches of the other two gentlemen." These gentlemen were Andrew Carnegie and Frederick R. Coudert.

Mr. Butler declared there were forty-five Senators now ready to vote for ratification. "It requires' fifteen more," he yald. "And these meetings being held to-night 'n cities from Portland. to Portland.

are for "the purpose of securing these fifteen votes. "This movement is diplomacy in the opsn, and all we ask is that that branch of the Government which has to do with treaty making shall represent the' intelligence of thf American people. Let that branch hold back no longer. England an'i France Kok on in amazement at the slowness in carrying out this movement." Mr. Watterson in substance said: It would seem that a measure of public benefit such as the Arbitration Treaties negotiated by our Government with the Governments respectively of England and France would call for little urging upon intelligent Americans.

Equally In England and in France there, is no dissent whatever. But here, owing to the perversity of some and the indifference, or the ignorance of many, organization, is required, a campaign of eaucatlon, and an appeal to reason, which, except for the munJficence-the extravagant munificence of a single citizen, would be -wanting to a popular confirmation put in definite torms and resonant voice of the truism that peace is better than war. In this we have an example of a very general human absent mind edn efts with respect to things obvioua. We take them for granted and pass them by. Trouble follows, and it is too late.

The ounce of prevention which" is worth a pound of cure is rarely applied but for the most part becomes the tardy and impotent expression of the common failing. All honor, therefore, to Andrew Carnegie! But for him we would not be here to-night. It should be of good augury to you. as it is both an inspiration and a happiness to me, that the Scotch-American laddie of sex-enty-six whose heart, stiil warming to the tartan beats loyal to the (lag. has been spared to set on foot a world-moTe-inent toward the brotherhood of man, v-ithout which the very religion w-? profess must perish from the earth and vanish like ashes of dead-sea fruit from the sieht of men.

The call requires that delegates must be chosen thirty days before the convention, and the South Dakota law fixes June 5 as the date of the primary. The Penrose amendment waives the rule in the case of the South Dakota law.

Mr Vorys, of Ohio, the President's BDokflfiman, contended that the Ohio prl-irTary law provided for the election of district delegates, but there was no provision for delegates at, large. No pri-marv for the election of delegates at arge could bo held under the primary law ho said, and no presidential popularity contest could be conducted under the' Ohio law. Mr Clayton, of Arkansas, also objected to the Borah amendment, declaring that in his State the primary election ma-chinerv was controlled by Democrats.
