' i , COLONEL GIVEN FREE REIN FOR LEGAL RATTLE Despite Court's Ruling That Roosevelt Must Confine Self to Formal Answer, He Talks as He Pleases. BARNES SAID BOSSES MUST RUN THE PEOPLE People Not Fitted to Govern, "Roosevelt Says Barnes Told Him. Syracuse, N. T., April 21. (T. N. S.) With Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Just getting started on his tale of William fames' alleged corruption after five hours" of testifying-, conven Ins of. the court after the luncheon recess here this- afternoon In the t trial of Barnes' $50,000 libel suit against the former president found the colonel still on the stand. The lid placed on the defense's line Of Inquiry by Justice Andrews' rulin ' that Roosevelt must not testify to ; anything not contained in his formal answer to the complaint apparently was i a flimsy affair. The colonel was allowed to tell almost everything Ce wanted to. His first testlmany at the afternoon session was regarding articles from "' two magazines in which it was al legred that Barnes and Charles Mur pay, Tammany boss. : had united to control the New York state legislature Both articles had been read and used by Roosevelt In the speeches of which Barnes complains. Attorney Ivins for the prosecution ' moved that the' articles be stricken out unless the colonel said he believed them true. Colonel Believes Charges. "I believe them absolutely," was Roosevelt a answer. uoes mat apply to the conversa tlons with Senators Davenport, New combe and Hinman," queried Ivins '!! believe all they told me, absolute ly." was again the reply. The witness was then allowed to state that New combe had told him that "Barnes' Re . publican: senators" and "Murphy's Democratic senators" combined again at T Hughes Independent senators to defeat the Bi-Primary bill in 1910 and to elect John P. Allds, president of the senate, "Newcombe told me that Allds was -." made both president of the senate and Republican leader in the same body by the Tammany votes controlled by Murphy and led by Grady," said .Roosevelt. t Ivins motion to throw this testi mony out was overruled. Boosevelt In Fine Form, Roosevelt by this time was easily his old self.. With one foot thrown across his knee and showing his teeth In the old expansive smile the wit ness talked directly to the jurors, smiting his left palm .with his right fist when he wished to drive home his points and biting off his words with the greatest emphasis. Justice Andrews had ryied that the coionei wouia not oe allowed to testiry to anything" not contained in his an- swer to the complaint unless the tes timony was proved by corroborative Witnesses.,, "I will say," said the Justice In an nouncing his decision, "that while the 'Witness may show that his published utterances were, without malice he may not place in the record anything aside from his filed answer unless witnesses In corroboration are produced." Roosevelt was anxious to narrate to the Jury the story of Barnes' allegl- ' a nee with Pl&tt and Murphy, the lat ter of whom is alleged to have boasted to the colonel that he controlled the legislature at Albany and could deliv r Its vote on any proposition. Most of these revelations .would come by way of conversations between Barnes and Roosevelt in which there was no third party present. - -Principals Discuss Case. . Opening of court today was delayed for. a few minutes by a conference in the court chambers between Justice Andrews and the opposing counsel. During the Interim Roosevelt and Barnes talked freely to the newspaper men concerning certain aspects of the case developed in yesterday's hearing. The colonel was called to the stand Immediately after court convened. As he took his place in the witness chair the famous Roosevelt smile and ex pansive teeth were as much in evi dence as ever. In fact not since his , return from the "River of Doubt" last year has he seemed more like himself. The thick lensed glasses had been ex changed for gold bowed spectacles but aside from this no other preparations ;(to undergo the qui were apparent. Attorney Bowers, chief of counsel for the defendant, started by asking the witness when he had had conversa tion with Barnes. u. William Ivins, who is directing the plaintiff's attack, immediately entered objection to this 1 line of questioning but was overruled. Barnes Believed in Bosses. I "I was called upon by Mr. Barnes -In 1S98 between the time 1 was elected governor of New York-and the date of Inauguration," the witness said, "and . at that meeting I received a clear im pression from him of his belief in the righteousness of boss rule." At this point Bowers reintroduced In . evidence the. letter from Barnes to . Koosevelt 'which, was offered in the course of the testimony yesterday. I told lfim. continued Roosevelt, "that Piatt had informed me when I was elected, that he, Barnes, controlled lithe legislature and that anything I might want which the bosses did not j want was sure to be defeated. He said the organization .must control." "Did Piatt say 'bossesT . interrupted Attorney Ivins- V , i"I am not certain," replied the wit ness, "but remember that he referred to "the leaders of the machine. Then 1 told Barnes that I had been sent for Cathedral Made Screen for Guns, Claim Germans Rheims Is Again Bombarded, Ber lin Keports, Owing to French Mounting Cannon Near Church. Berlin. Via Wireless to London, Apili 21. tV. P.) Owing to the French lav ing mounted cannon near the Rheims cathedral, the Germans have been. com pelled again to bombard the position, tho war office announced today. It was stated, however, that the shells were not fired directly at the cathe dral. The! renewed bombardment of Ithelms, together with attacks dirtcteJ by tli -Freacli at Klirey, between the ATeuse' and AtoBelle sind about Metzc rnll and Sonderanachen represented t'.m l hief activity reported today. All at tacks about the three points mentlon.-u were repulsed with heavy losses, it was stated. In retaliation for the bombardment of Insterburg and Uumhlnnen by ttu Russians, German aviators-dropped 1 50 bombs upon the railway junction .if Kt;Ui.stok, doing great damage. Asiile from tltiH attack, the situation on the eastern' front was declared to bo uiv hanged. by Piatt In 1898 and was asked to call at the Kiftli Avenue hotel." "Amen corner?" asked Ivins. "Ves," was the reply snapped back, people Not Fitted to Bole. The i colonol then told of his talk with ; 'Piatt, emphasizing Piatt's re marks -at that time that the organiza tion must rule. With Ivins interposing repeated ob jections, the talk with Barnes, when the Jatter was told of Roosevelt's talk with .Piatt, was next gone Into. "Barnes also told me," said the ex president, "that the organization must rule. He said it was necessary to have bosses, that the people were not fittud to govern and were better off with bosses. ! "Was anyone present when you held your taiKs with Piatt and Barnes?' questioned Ivins. "No." "Did anyone know of the meetines?" "One man knew of the meeting with fiatt. ii got a telegram from him' "Will you name him?" asked Ivins. "I object to the counsel for the plaintiff interrupting the witness," cowers interposed. . nooseveu was tnen allowed to e-o into detail regarding his conversa nous wiui oarnes. Jtteeardina- one which j dealt with former Governor Hughes, the witness said: Preferred Barnes to Hughes. x ioia carnen. mat xugnes was a boss, my sympathies and friendshio at triat time Deing witn .Barnes as against Hughes." Other converations with Barnes held at various times from 1898 to 1910 were narrated, the witness saying tnai xtarnes always upheld bossism and claimed that he' could handle the legislature. ....... Ivins made numerous objections but was over-ruled in each instance. The defense was then allowed to read a letter from Barnes to Roosevelt, writ ten in niu auring me nugues admin istration, when the Hart-agnew antl- racmg bill was pending.. The letter said that the writer had changed his mind and was in favor of the bill to abolish racing despite his friend ship for August Belmont, millionaire sportsman who at that time was heavily: interested In racing. Barnes Describes Sim self. In this letter Barnes also referred to his! belief that tile organization must rule and spoke of himself as an "unbelting, machine-made politi cian or patronage broker." More-' letters from Barnes were In troduced at this point. In one, Barnes. discussing Hughes' attitude toward him said "If the gage of battle is thrown! it may become my duty to desist for if I remain as leader in this county, my leadership must be satisfactory to the Republicans of the county.; I cannot be exploited as a machine politician or patronage broker without resisting to tho fullest of my strength." In another letter, attacking direct primaries,' he said "Any idea of get ting rid of bosses is absurd so long as we have party government." Interrogated regarding the magazine articles which alleged that Barnes and Murphy had worked hand-and-glove to control the legislature the colonel af firmed his belief in the truthfulness of the statements and said: I gathered from Senator Davenport that the majority of the Republican members approved the primary legis- ation urged by Governor Hughes but tha the machine Republicans Joined machine Democrats in opposing the measures." Roosevelt added that Davenport had told him of seeing Barnes enter a room at Albany where the Anti-Hughes sen ators Were holding a conference for the pupose of framing defeat of the primary) 0111. While! on thi witness stand yester day Colonel Roosevelt appeared quite t ease, casually discussing delicate questions of law with Justice Andrew, whom he addressed familiarly s Jud.ge,"t and entering into .arguments with counsel for himself and for Earnes. , Roosevelt swore that Barnes, former chairman of the Republican state com mittee, Jiad advised him not to antago nize brg, business, which must, he al- eged Barnes said, be protected. He detailed Barnes' oDDOsition to th gubernaiorial nomination of Charles E. Hughes, present United States su preme court justice, and declared the bi-partisan alliance defeated the direct primary ; bill. Barnes, Roosevelt testified. . said that the people were not fit to govern themselves." According to Roosevelt. Barnes also said that party govern ment was not possible without bosses nd leaders. The colonel detailed aev- ral conversations with the late Sena tor PlatJ, iKuonei ttooseveit rimsnea nis di rect evidence shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon.
