them and in .'ew York. That amused
Mr. fiarnes immensely, as It did the
spectators.
Only once did the Colonel exhibit any
outward pitsrn of fatipue. That was 'well
toward the end of the proceedings,
when he placed his elbow on the
Judse's bench beside him' and bent his
head over to one side until it rested
on his hand. He remained in that posi
tion while a series of letters were be
infr read to the jury, the thumb and
index finger of his free hand toying
with his watch chain.
Mr. Barnes went to Albany tonight,
but Colonel Koosevelt elected to re
main in Syracuse until Monday. Sev
eral conferences have been arranged
for tomorrow by attorneys on both
sides.
Rarly Friendship Hrotucht Out.
Letters tending to show former
friendly relations between the Colonel
and Mr. Barnes were introduced at the
opening of the cross-examination
today. The Colonel admitted he had
complied with many suggestions made
by Mr. Barnes with regard to the filling
of state offices while the Colonel was
Governor.
Mr. Ivins read from Colonel Roose
velt's autobiography and twitted the
Colonel with borrowing its language
In his testimony.
"I do not know,' the witness replied.
"I do not think so, It might be."
"In your statement you refer to In
visible povernment. Now this Is from
your autobiography."
Mr. Ivins read an excerpt -that had to
do with invisible government and pub
licity for campaign contributions.
"Who succeeded Mr. Croker in the
leadership of Tammany Hall?"
"I've told you; Mr. Murphy.'
"Don't you know there was a tri
umvirate in control of Tammany
Hall?"
"I don't know about that. I know
there was a fight in which several
persons, including' Mr. 'Finsry' (Wil
liam J.) Connors, of, Buffalo, were con
cerned. I don't know which side he was
on. I just heard of it."
1 "Well, now, while you were Gover
nor there was Invisible government,
you say. Why didn't you make an
attack then similar to the one you
made on Mr. Barnes?"
"If they had blocked the legislation
I wanted I would have."
Barnes Invited to White House.
"Did you invite Mr. Barnes to the
White House in Washington?"
"Yes."
"You did that In spite of his mistrust
to the people and the 'invisible em
pire?' " ' '
"Yes."
"Did you use the words, 'Invisible
srovernment,' in 1S99 or 1900?"
"No."
"Did you ever discuss invisible gov
ernment with Mr. Barnes in Albany 'I
"I did not discuss the specific phrase,
I did discuss my official duty and con
tributions to the campaign funds by
big business interests."
Ivins read a sentence from the auto
biography about Piatt's most efficient
lieutenants being men of the highest
standing in the community.
"Did you include Mr. Barnes in these
lieutenants in 1913?"
"No."
"Did you include him in that class
in 1899 or 1900?"
"No."
"If you did not so regard him, why
did you consult and associate with
him?"
"Because I thought he wae above the
average of the run of politicians. 1
believed he might become a most use
. ful citizen."
Jekyll and Hyde In Politics.
"Did you discuss his moral standards
with him?"
"I did. I expressed my hopes to
him."
"tio while you were in Albany you
were acting as a political monitor in
order to make him a good citizen?"
"I tried to get every man to act
rightly. Most politicians had two na
tures, however. I regarded Mr. Barnes
as a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde. He
had two sides, a good and a bad one,
as other politicians had."
Ivina read a letter written on White
House stationery by Roosevelt to
Barnes, telling him of appointing him
to office.
"Did you appoint "Mr. Hyde' Barnes
or 'Dr. Jekyll' Barnes?"
"I wanted to bring the Dr. Jekyll out
in him. The Treasury Department said
he had done his work well and deserved
reappointment."
"So you tried to cut the ligaments be
tween the Siamese twins 'Jekyll
and Hyde'?"
"Oh, no. I was trying to get one to
absorb the other."
The examination turned to a dis
cussion of bosses. Colonel Koosevelt
almost caused Mr. Barnes to laugh by
saying that he did not regard Harry S.
New, of Indiana, as a "boss" in the
New York sense. He did not consider
Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, as a
boss, he said.
"Was Mr. Penrose a boss?" asked
Mr. Jones.
"He was. I would not have him
for chairman. I put Mr. Cortelyou
in this place.
"You didn't hesitate to dictate who
thjpuM be chairman, did you?"
"1 wouldn't have Mr. Penrose."
"Bonnes'' TTnder Discussion.
The witness could not remember who
was the New York member.
"Wasn't it William L. Ward?"
"That's right. William Ward," and
the Colonel smiled.
"Was he boss of Westchester?"
"He was boss of Westchester and a
good friend of mine, asserted the wit
ness, and the crowd laughed.
"Did you ever hear of Joseph Can
non, of Danville?"
"I did."
"Was he a boss?"
"He was boss of the House of Rep
resentatives until he was overthrown."
"He came back, didn't he?"
"Yes, but not as boss of the House
of Representatives.
Mr. Ivins took up a list of contribu
tors to the National campaign fund.
He denied specific information, but
presumed that Jacob H. Schiff, James
Speyer, George W. Perkins and An
drew Carnegie were contributors.
"Do you know the initials 'J. H. H.'?"
asked Mr. Ivins.
"Yes, that man was urged upon me
for Ambassador to France. I offered
to make him Minister to Venezuela,
but he wouldn't accept." .
"Did you fall to appoint James Hazen
. Hyde as Ambassador to France because
he was connected with the New Y'ork
Life Insurance Company?"
"JSo. I thought he was too young for

such an important position and I didn't
consider that just because he contrib
uted he should be sent as Ambassador
to France."
"Do you know George Von I, Meyer
contributed $25,000?"
"Was it that large? I didn't know it."
Colonel Roosevelt said he had no
doubt George Gould contributed $100,-
000 to hia campaign fund. Neither
would he doubt that George von L.
Meyer contributed an additional $.10,000.
"Do you know what this means: 'C.
N. Bliss for P. R. $10,000?' "
"P. R.," said the Colonel, apparently
surprised. "I don't think I know what
that means."
Mr. Ivins read another item from
the report, "C. N. B., for F. R., $25,000."
" 'C. N. B.,' " replied Colonel Roose
velt, "means C. N. Bliss, but I don't
know what P. R. is."
Mr. Ivins read items of contribution
identified by initials. Witness was
puzzled for a moment and then fixed
on II. II. Rogers, now dead, and John
D. Archbold, as the contributors.
"I'd be surprised if any such contri
butions were used," said the witness. "1
sent a message to Mr. Cortelyou that
if any Standard Oil contributions were
received to return them. ' I explicitly
told Mr. Cortelyou and Mr. Bliss not
to accept any contribution with any
implication of consideration in the
event of my election."
Court Suppresses Broad Smile.
Here the Colonel manifested curiosity
as to the nature of the official reeort
from which Mr. Ivins read.
"It is that of the Senate sub-c.ommit-teo
on privileges and elections, finished
in 1913, as to campaign contributions
in 1904," said Mr. Ivins.
"That was the committee before
which Mr. Thomas Ryan testified that
he contributed $500,000 to help elect
Mr. Alton B. Parker, Democratic nomi
nee in 1904 V asked the Colonel.
Mr. Ivins assented. Even Judge An
drews covered his face to suppress a
broad smile and the court tittered.
"You knew E. H. Harrlman pretty
well, didn't you?" the Colonel was
asked.
"1 knew him well."
Mr. Ivins read a letter from Colonel
Roosevelt to Mr. Harriman. It read:
"The suggestion has come to me in
a round-about way that you do not
think it wise to come on and see me
in the closing weeks of the campaign:
that you are reluctant to refuse as long
as I have asked you. Now, my dear
sir, you and I are practical men, and
you are on the ground and know the
conditions better than I do. If you
think there is any danger to your visit
that may cause trouble, or if you think
there is anything special I should be
informed about, or any matter in which
1 could give aid, why, of course, give
up the visit for the time being and in
a few weeks, perhaps before I write
my message, I shall get you to come
down to discuss certain Governmental
matters not connected with the cam
paign." Contributions Not Conditional.
"Now, do you mean to tell this jury
that down to the present time you
never knew the names of the parties
that contributed to your campaign
fund in 1904?"
'yes. I inquired definitely to know
whether any contributions had been or
would be accepted and any obligation
expressed or implied as to anything
whatever being done in the way of leg
islative or executive action because of
such contributions. I received explicit
assurances that no contribution would
be accepted with any such obligation
expressed or implied and that I would
take offioe absolutely free from any
obligation of any kind, sort or descrip
tion in consequence of any contribu
tions that had been made."
"Did you see any connection what
ever between business and politics in
contributions of $100,000, $50,000, $20,
000?" asked Mr. Ivins.
"No more connection," replied the
Colonel, "than there is when those
same men contribute to the Y.'M. C. A."
"Did I understand you to say that the
$3,000,000 contributions to a campaign
fund is to be placed in the same cate
gory when you are running for Presi
dent of the United States as for the
Y. M. C. A.?"
"Yes, precisely, and with no more
hope of reward. I believe, for instance,
tli at Mr. Ryan's contribution was given
in the same spirit to Mr. Parker. I
don't think it was given with any idea
of personal gain or any advantage."
Soon after court was recessed until
Monday. .
Sanity Trial Is Granted by

Prisoner Has Right to Have State
of Mentality Determined at Any
Time, Rules Judge, but Jury
Finding Is Not Binding.
NEW YORK, April 23. The question
of the sanity of Harry K. Thaw will be
determined by a Jury. Supreme Court
Judge Hendrick, in a decision handed
down today, granted the application for
a trial made by Thaw's attorneys on a
writ of habeas corpus.
Thaw was in court when Justice Hen
drick announced his opinion. His faca
at once lighted up with pleasure. He
was kept busy for nearly half an hour
shaking hands before he was taken
back to the Tombs.
"It will be good news to my mother,
he told newspapermen. "That's all I
want to say for publication."
jury to Act as Advisers.
The question which Justice Hendrick
had to decide was whether the court
had power to grant a Jury trial. He
held that he did have such power.
He--polnted out that the Jury was
called in "to aid the court by their ad
vice." and that the finding of the Jury
would not be binding if the court was
satisfied that it was not in accordance
with the evidence and with Justice.
Justice Hendrick set the date of the
trial for May 17.
"It is therefore evident," wrote Jus
tice Hendrick in his opinion, after
quoting authorities and precedents,
"that in this state there is ample prece
dent for the impaneling of a Jury to
aid in trying the issues of fact raised
on the traverse to the return in a
habeas corpus proceeding."
Thaw Meld Not Criminal.
After reviewing the Thaw case the
decision continued:
"It should be borne in mind that
Thaw is not confined as a criminal. He
has been acquitted of the crime with
which he was charged, and there can
be no punishment for one who has been
acquitted. He is confined in a state
hospital if or the insane as a precaution
for the public.
"The commitment can last only so
long as he is insane, and he has the
right at any time under the law to have
his sanity determined on habeas corpus."
LAND GRANT CASE IS UP

secure the building of the railroad,
and every other provision of the act
should be held subservient to that
main purpose.
Mortsaare Declared Xecessary.
Mr. Dunne declared It M-a-jiot feas
ible for the company in 1S88 to go out
and find buyers for its lands in suffi
cient numbers to finance the railroad
construction project, and that the only
way it could make that grant valuable
In aiding the construction of the rail
road was by mortgaging the lands for
construction money. He cited various
court rulings to justify such use of the
grant by the railroad company. Every
dollar that had been derived from the
sale of the granted lands, he said, had
been applied to the redemption of the
construction bonds.
"This court should hold," eald Mr.
Dunne, "that we had the primary and
necessary right to mortgage our lands;
that the bondholders are entitled to the
security: that the redemption sales that
we made in liquidation of the construc
tion bonds should be upheld, and if,
after we have applied these redemption
moneys to the liquidation of the origi
nal construction Indebtedness, then such
land as remains may be sold under the
requirements of the settlers' clause."
Affirmative Obligation Denied.
He argued that under the settlers'
clause the railroad company was not
required to sell; that the settlers' clause
imposed no affirmative obligation on
the railroad; furthermore, that if the
railroad company in selling in larger
than quarter-section tracts and at prices
above $2.50 an acre violated a condition
which Congress sought to impose, it
was incumbent on the Attorney-General
when these sales were made to
have sought to have the company en
joined, but no such etep was taken. He
was arguing that the settlers' clause
was not a condition subsequent when
court adjourned.
The full court sat at the hearing, and
evinced deep interest in the case.
S. A. D. Puter was an interested spec
tator in the courtroom.

Attorney-General Contends Court Is
Without Discretionary Power.
AIDANT, N. Y., April 23. Attorney
General Woodbury tonight said he
would appeal from Justice Hendrick's
decision granting Harry K. Thaw a
jury trial.
"It Is the opinion of the Attorney
General's office," Mr. Woodbury said,
"that the court Is without discretionary
powers to grant a Jury trial on the
return of a writ of habeas corpus to
test the sanity of Mr. Thaw. 1 shall
ask for a stay on the execution of Jus
tice Hendrlck'a order granting such
trial until the matter can be heard by
the appellate courts."

Feeling Shown Because 'Washington
Falls to Trouble About Food Re

Sending Arms to Other.
AMSTERDAM, via London. April 23.
Regarding Secretary of State Bryan's
answer to the recent memorandum sent
by Count Bernstorff. the German Am
bassador at Washington, to the State
Department, Berlin newspapers re
ceived here make the following com
ments: The Tagllsche Runschau says:
"America takes all possible trouble
over the ammunition requirements of
our enemies, ostensibly from a love of
neutrality. She does not trouble about
the possible food requirements of Ger
many. This also is done from a love of
neutrality."
;rrmanr III Not Foreet.
The Vossische Zeitung says in the
same connection:
"Washington should recognize that
such an attitude on the part of America
will not speedily be forgotten in Ger
ms ny."
The I.okal Anzeiger says:
"The German standpoint on this ques
tion is founded on thoroughly estab
lished principles and practice of inter
national law. The American standpoint
can be explained only by the profits
of the armament firms."
The Morgen Post, under a headline
reading "Remarkable Neutrality," says:
"This answer sounds like a mockery
of the German standpoint as presented
by Count von Bernstorff, although, of
course, this Is not Secretary Bryan's
Intentlom
Bryan Declared Cynically Frank."
"Nobody outside the White House be
lieves that the delivery of arms and
other supplies Is not a violation of
neutrality and that its prohibition
would be unneutral. It remains for Mr.
Bryan to proclaim with such cynical
frankness that the weapon trade to
one belligerent Is real neutrality."
Die Post makes no comment except
for tho headline, "America Further
Shows Its Character."

'MEDICAL TRUST' PLAN OUT
Charge of Misuse of Mail Is Crged
Against Instftutions.
NEW YORK, April 23. Methods em
ployed by agents of a "medical trust,"
operating many of the institutions
raided by the New York police in a

As a result of inquiries made since

serious offense than the charge of
maintaining a nuisance, already pre
ferred against them.
