BLIS ROOSEVELT RELATES FOUR CHAPTERS OF POLITICS AT ALBANY Former President Resomes Testimony in $50,000 Libel Suit Brought Against Him By Baracs. ON STAND DURING ENTIRE FORENOON SESSION OF COURT Tells of Election of G. O. P. Leader in New York Assembly by “Barnes ! Republicans”—Cause of Trouble Between Barnes and Hughes, De- feat of Racing Bill Against Direct Primaries Legislation Syracuse, N. Y., April 21.—Four chapters of Albany politics were re- lated by Theodore Roosevelt on the witness stand today in the trial of the suit of Wm. Barnes Jr, claiming $50,- 000 damages from the former presi- dent of the United States for libe! Mr. Roosevelt gave what he claimed to be the details of the election by “Barnes republicans™ assisted bv Murphy democrats” of an official leader of jthe republican party in the legislature of New York; the cause of the hostilities between Barnes and Governor Hughes; the defeat of the Hart-Agnew racing bill by the repub- | lican organization, and the fight he said the combined democratic and re- | publican machines, the latter led by Mr. Barnes made against a direct pri- maries legislation. He also identificd a letter written by Mr. Barnes in which the latter told him /“The idei of getting rid of bosses is absurd so | long as you have party government.” Col. Roosevelt was on the stand dur- ing the entire forenoon session of court He was to @ontinue this afternoon the story by which he hopes.to prove to the jury that he was justified in caus- ing the publication of the statement upon which Mr, Barnes is suing him for libel. Several accountants today began to inspect the ten trunks full of books brought here from Albany by Charles M, Winchester, vice-president and general manager of the J. B. Lyon ; company, in which Colonel Roosevelt’s attorneys assert. Mr. Barnes is inter- ested. They hope to secure much information about state printing con. tracts and moneys paid for their ex- ecut}:n from these books. Smith in Court. Themas F. Smith, secretary of Tammany Hall for the past twenty 4 vears, arrived at the court house to- sday in answer to a subpoena served upon him by a representative af Col- onel Roosevelt’s counsel. The sub- poena . calls for Mr. Smith’s attend- ance on three days. This was taken as an indication that his examination would be a thorough one. loth principals appeared in ahead of the jury today, and their respective counsel and court were discussing in chambers ques- tions as te what should or should not be admitted in evidence. Court Bars Some Evidence. ‘After the conference was over it was announced that the court had decided not to admit evidence re- garding certain things not specified mn the pleadings. This effectively barred the door to the admission of a great mass of evidence dealing with politics, political methods and Mr. Barnes’s plleged conversations with Colonel Roosevelt on party organizations. ‘When Col. Roosevelt had taken the witness stand to contigue his evi- dence, he was questioned Dby Mr. * Bowers. Col. Roosevelt said: “I had conversations with Mr. Barnes re- garding the gubernatorial election in 1908. These took place in Washing- ton and possibly in Oyster Bay, too.” Col. Roosevelt was show¥n a let- ter. “I talked with Mr. Barnes on the subject of this letter,” he said. Overrules Ivin’s Objeaiions, Mr. Ivins then read the letter and objected to it being admitted in evi- dence on the ground that it was im- material. Justice Andrews read the ietter and overruled the objection. Mr. Bowers then picked up a se- eond letier, iniroduction of which court while |3 also was objected to by Mr. Ivins. The | objection was also overruled. “Now, what were the conversations, Col. Roosevelt, you had with Mr. Barnes?” asked Mr. Bowers. Mr. Ivins interposed another fection, which was overruled. Roosevelt Answors Question. Col. Roosevelt, answering the ques- tion, sai ob- ination of the party. Now, judge, they were continued conversations.

The previous day the enemy had at- tacked, but without success, our po- sitions in the region of Verkhnila,l in the Beskids, Polen and north Oroszepatak. “The offensive movement of the | enemy against the heights of Polen, | by us, was par- ticularly flerce and his losses were | very great. The first batch of pri- soners captured at this point to the number of 500 has been brought in. “Other sections of the front remain, as a whole, unchanged. “A German aeroplane squadron on Tuesday dropped in the neighborhood of 100 bombs at Bialystok, killing and wounding civilians. No material dam- age was done. Tuesday night the town of Oiechanow .was bombardeu with bombs by a Zeppelin airship. No damage was done.

LEACERS CONFER 1N NEW HAVEN So Muny Difficulties in Way of Party Primary That Plan Had to Abandoned and Withdrawal of Ex- Mayor Is Resull, (Special New Haven, 21.—Joseph Halloran, Britain, formally withdrew from the race for to the April ex-mayor Herald of New postmaster in New Britain today, it was announced following a conference between ex-Congressman Augustine Lonergan and State Central Commit- teeman llomer S. Cummings in this city. This action clears the way for Attorney W. F. Delaney, who had been recommended to Postmaster General Burleson by Mr. Lonergan a short time before his term as con- gressman expired. The two conferred in order to see whether there was some solution to the apparent deadlock. It was con- sidered feasible to hold & primary be- cause of obvious difficulties and this plan was abandoned. After the conference the unsigned statement was given out: Statement from Conference. “The contest for the office of post- | been | brought to a satisfactory and harmon- | The matter has been | master at New ' Britain has ious conclusion. under consideration for some time. The choice ultimately lay between ex-Mayor Joseph M. Halloran and Attorney William F. Delaney. Mr. Halloran had the support of a large proportion of the business of New Britain and many influential party leaders throughout the state, in- cluding Mr. Cummings. Mr. Delaney likewise had substantial business and | political support, including the en- dorsement of Mr. L.onergan. Both of the candidates are men of high character and excellent stand- ing. The contest was fairly conducted and it must be clearly understood that no steps were taken either by Mr. Halloran or with his consent which are not recognized as entirely proper and fuly within his rights. ” ‘“Indeed, no criticism.of any kind or description can be properly indulged in as to the manner in which any of the candidates for the position have conducted their various campaigns. “‘After March 4th, when it appeared | that Mr. Delaney’s nomination had not been acted upon, attempt was made to induce Mr. Cummings to lend his support to Mr. Delaney. He declincd 80 to do upon the ground the he was pledged to Mr. Halloran and that no sufficient reason had been advanced for causing him to change his atti- tude. In fact, he saw no honorable way in which he could do so. ‘Under all these circumstances, and in view of the apparent difficulty which was presented, it was suggest- ed that a primary be held to be parti- cipated in by the registered voters of the town of New Britain to determine which of the two candidates tioned they preferred. Postmaster General Burleson, approved of this proposition and it was ultimately sented to by all concerned. “Mr. Burleson expressed a willing- ness to appoint the candidate who was successful in the primary ed Mr. Cummings and Mr. Lonergan to arrange the details and to certily the result. “Mr. Cummings and Mr. Lonergan met for the purpose of consideri this matter and it then became ap- parent that there were practical! dir- ficulties in the way of holding such a primary. was the fact that an examination of the democratic primary list of Britain disclosed that nearly one half of the democratic voters of New Br n had not registered and that a pri- mary under such circumstanc: would exclude nearly ticipating. On the other hand an open primary was not desirable in view of the obvious difficulty in defining th- right of citizens to take part in it. 1¢ addition to this the expense of such a | contest, the delay volved, and other practical consederations arose which made that solution of the matter not altogether desirable. “Under these circumstances Mr. Hal- loran solved the difficulties by offering | voluntarily to withdraw from the con- | contest. He felt that such a contest would not be desirable from a demo- crats standpoint and he was willing to | sacrifice his own personal welfare in | the interest of the party. 1 erous action in this matter i appreciated by all concerned. “In view of this actien and with Mr, Halloran's full approval and consent, Mr, didacy of Mr. Delaney and there i now no reason to doubt that the lat- ter will receive the appointment the very near future.” s gen- greatly Holloran Confirms Story.
