Issued a statement tonight say ing that because of their lifelong friendship, b could not personally op pose th Colonel, and therefor would take no part In the campaign for th Presidency. He also declared his opposition to ths constitutional changes which Mr. Roosevelt advocated la his Columbus speech. Colonel Roosevelt's announcement that be Is a candidate I received la Washington with a complexity of feel ings. At th Whit House, when the news first was received last night, bo formal statement was Invoked. In Congress It created a deep Impression. LJtlla else waa discussed at the capital. Ia the Senate It precipitated a lively pass age. Ledge's Slate Poalttve. Senator Lodge's statement Is regard ed as a positive declination to support the ex-President's candidacy. It fol lows: "I am opposed to the constitutional change advocated by Colonel Rooeevelt la his recent speech at Columbua I have very strong convictions oa those Questions, which daring the pest three or foar years 1 bav expressed la pub lie with such fore Of argument as I could command. But Colonel Roosevelt aad I for ! years and wholly apart from politics have been close and most Intimate friend. I must continue to oppose the policies which be urged at Columbus, bat I cannot possibly oppose him who hae been my lifelong friend, and for thla reason shall take no part whatever In the rampslgo for th Presidential nomina tion." Rayaer I to Iseak. In th Senat Colonel Roosevelt's iaratlon brought an announcement from Senator Raiotr of Maryland that he would addreee the Senate at "the earliest possible moment oa the char ter of the new democracy as outlined by es-Preeldent Roosevelt la his speech at Columbus." Mr. Rayner probably win speak on Wedneeday. Hia antagonism to Mr. Roneevelt often baa been shown. Senator riapp. of Minnesota, "pro gressive" RepuMican. succeeded In getting permission to hsv the Co lumbus speech printed as a publlo document, but not before th Senate bed Indulged In a lively colloquy. Mr, Oapp bad made his reiueet when Sen ator Ballsy leaped to bin feet, "Let X sA 111 1 A.,V , It be printed by all means," shouted the Texas Senator, "let It be printed red." "Printed and read," retorted Mr. Clapp. who a moment later accepted Senator ftiiley'e suggestion thst Colo nel Roosevelt's lettrr announcing his willingness to accept th nomination be printed with th speech. " Hacoa'e Move Defeated. An attempt by Senator Bacon to In clude the several announcements by Mr. Roosevelt that he would not be a candidate for a third term was de feated by Senator Polndexter. On the House side th subject waa discussed apparently with deep Inter est. Repreeentatlve Browning; of New Jersey, Republican, devoted his maiden speech to a commendation of President Taft' Administration and Its achievement. Republican colleagues greeted his eulogy of the President with spplause. Speaker Clark, himself a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomi nation. Issued a statement tonight commenting on Colonel Roosevelt's candidacy for the Republican nomina tion. Th SpeakerB comments were phrssed In characteristic) languag and follow: "There are some peculiar and inter esting facts la the Republican Im broglio. The bigwigs appear to hav forgotten historical facts or to scorn them. Many persons were amazed when the Republican National commit. te fixed their convention for the 18th of June, the anniversary of Waterloo. Now cornea Colonel Roosevelt on Feb ruary it. anniversary of ths day when Napoleon escsped from Elba. "No doubt the result In November will complete the historical parallel by sending not only the Colonel, but the whole Republican party to Helen-, a consummation devoutly to be wished. This year all things work together for the success of Iemocrat and the good of th country." RATE ORDERS ARE ARGUED Rail roads Have Irrnlng-s in Hearing of "Intenuountaln Cases." WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.

Colonel Ro que Gomes, Major Tonus Loia." AMERICANS TO BK PROTECTED e President May Be Given Authority to Send Troops Over Border. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. General turbulence In Northern Mexico menac ing the lives and interests of Americans along the border, drew from the Wash ington Government today definite plans for self protection. Captain ilalln Craig, of the general stair, was ordered from San Francisco to Investigate the conditions In ths Im pertal Valley and alimir the California border. Two companies of th Fourth Cavalry were dispatched to Douglas and one company to Nogales, points In Arlsona which suffered during ths last revolution. To th Texas border were sent no more troops, but reports from El Paso gave ar Department officials a dis quieting' day. At first there were rumors of actual fighting, but later they proved to be groundless, though foreshadowing the maneuvers of the rebel forces In the vicinity of Juarez. General Wood, Chief of Starr of th Army, received advices tonight from Colonel K. 7.. Steever, in command of the troops at El Paso, that the rebels were advancing upon Juares. The Colonel reported that while no formld stile force appeared to be In possession of Juares to oppose the Invaders, about too residents had armed themselves and might offer resistance. No orders have been Issued that would permit any 'crossing by the American troops, and the American commanders have no more power than they had last May to prevent the Mexi cans from firing Into American terri tory. Th regiment of Infantry and battal ion of field artillery ordered from San Antonio to El Paso, which arrived there tonight, will be stationed on the Inter national line at once, so that by tomor row a large force of American troops will be concentrated opposite Juarez. Admittedly there are complications. both foreign and domestic which ham per forceful action on the part of this Government. To relieve this embar rassment somewhat. Senator Stone in troduced a resolution similar to the one which he presented last May, de signed to give the President authority to send troops across the border to prevent firing Into American territory. As for diplomatic entanglements that might result from such action. State Department officials have been giving careful attention to precedents, so as to meet any protests from Mexico. Senator Stona gave notice that he would speak tomorrow on his resolu tion, and would press Its consideration by th Senate. He Is understood to be acting In co-operation with the Whit House. President Taft Is In constant tonch with the situation through the War Department and State Department offl dale. Th Administration would not wlcome an Issue that might force It to send troops across the line, not only because of an Indisposition to exercise such a power against a friendly nation but also out of regard for the safety of Americana in Mexico, who. It Is feared. might be objects of attack by those In flamed at what might appear to them to be an invasion. - The United States considers, however, that an unusual situation 1s Involved. Forces have been landed In other countries to protect American lives and property, when officers appeared un able to de so, in spit of revolutionary factions, but not In defiance of protests of th titular government. The ques tlon In this case, which it Is believed may arise at any moment at El Paso and along the border. Is whether the dispatch of troops Into Mexico merely to stop firing Into American territory would constitute an act of war from the viewpoint of President Madera. American troops. It Is said, simply would prevent firing and restore order, retiring when that had been accom plished. There was taig.toaay among gov erament officials about the expediency of creating a neutral zone along the International line, but the difficulty Is that, while the Mexican government mlrht so consent, th rebels, without head or organisation, might not re spect it. Dispatches to the State Department showed a serious stat of affairs at TlahuaUlo, State of Durango, and In the Laa-una district. Robber bands have been devastating many large estates. Varying reports come from Southern Mexico, giving no light as to whether th government or insurgent forces had the upper hand. No outward Indications of trouble at Mexico City were chronicled. ARMED AMERICANS ARRESTED Seven Men on Way to Join Zapa tistas Caught on Boundary Line. DOUGLAS, Feb. 28. Seven armed and mounted Americans, who It was al leged by the Mexican authorities were on their wsy to Mexico to Join th ' ported Near Sierra Blanca. MARFA. Tex.. Feb. 27.

The Insurgent band, that Is attempting to capture the ranch Is said to number SO. The ranch Is one of the largest In Northern Mexico. According to the story of the oourler, the Insurgents approached th ranch this afternoon and demanded stores, saddles, horses and guns.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. Japan by 1918 will have wrested the position of third naval power from the united States, and this country will have dif ficulty in maintaining Itself in fourth place unless It builds two battleships a rear. Secretary Meyer so asserted today in his testimony before the House naval affairs committee. The Secretary urged? greater liberty by Congress in dealing with the naval establishments. Wireless Appropriations Asked. Mr. Meyer asked for an appropriation of 11.000,000 to establish a globe-glr- dllng wireless system, by which United States warships could keep In constant touch with Washington, with their bases and with each other. The committee lr pledged to econ omy, and although appropriations for battleships have not been acted on many members are said to be Inclined not to support the caucus which de elded against a two-battleship pro gramme. The wireless suggestion. It Is believed, will not be agreed to for rea sons of economy. The Secretary told the committee that even with the construction of two bat tleshlps a year the United States in four years would be forced to drop be hind Japan to fourth place in the naval scale. If only one ship a year be built. he said, the country would find Itself outstripped by Great Britain, Germany, Japan and France. As part of the general naval reor ganization scheme. Secretary Meyer suggested the abandonment of the Mavy-Y.rds at New Tork. Boston and Portsmouth, N. H., provided 824,000,000 could be realized from their sales. The three yards cost the Government more than 1116,000,000. Concentration I Idea. Ia place of the abandoned yards the new plan contemplates one great yard In Narragansett Bay, another at Nor folk, a' torpedo station at Charleston, and a small yard at Key West. The latter would be In the nature of an auxiliary to the naval base at Guan tanama The Secretary strongly advocated the creation of the grade of Admiral on the active list, with the creation of two Vlce-Admlrals.

The right o the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to selection of land under the so-called main line grant" by Congress, within the grant to the old Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company, was upheld today by the Supreme Court of the United States. The decision, a test case. Involved th claim to more than 11,000,000 worth o California land. SAN FRANCISCO Feb. 26. About 100,000 acre of "overlap" land con talned in the original grants to the Southern Pacific and the Atlantic & Pacific railroads are involved In the case decided today In favor of the Southern Pacific by the United States Supreme Court. These grants were made by act of Congress approved in 1866, but 20 years later the Atlantic & Pacific grant was declared forfeited by Congress because the company had failed to proceed with construction work and the lands were restored to the public domain. The 100,000 acres Involved In the liti gation decided today were within th Indemnity limits or the southern Pa clfic grant. The case presented a single question one relating to the validity of the Southern Pacific selections. These Judfre Ross sustained, except as regarded 30,000a.cres, which, he ruled, had been exempted from selection by previous judgment. Both parties appealed. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the Ross de cision, and on a second appeal by both Government and railroad, the Supreme Court today sustained the railroad's right to all of the land Involved In the suit.
