The former chairman of the republican state com- mittee spent two hoirs upon the wit- ness stand in contradicting wholly or in part various parts of the testimony of Colonel Roosevelt and 'in ‘giving his own version of several incidents : described by the former president of the United States. Mr. Barnes swore that he did not talk to Colonel Raosevelt about the franchise tax bill priar to its passage. He denied emphatically that he had asked the then ‘governor of New York not to sign the: bill ‘With equal emphasis he denied that he had ever told Colonel Roosevelt that men iden- tified with big business interests con- tributed to both partiés in order to Best Yet g S A As pecial deal with one of our leading manufacturers of good ' clothés brings to you an exceptional Suit value, gain protection, and that if it was not |- glven them they would cease to con- tribute; that he had urged that re- appointment of Lou Payn as state su- perintendent of insurance, and ,that he had discussed legisiative and exeé- utive matters with' Colonel Roosevelt | on ‘“‘many occasions.” He said he aid none of these, or a half doze) other things the colonel described hin’ as having done. Considered Colonel Leader. [ He did, however, declare by direct inference that he considered Colonel Roosevelt the leader of the republican party in this state from 1906 to '1910. said that he visited the ‘White House in 1908 at the request of the; president and was urged /to see August ‘Belmont about the race track bill. He quoted Colonel Roosevelt as saying that the bill must be defeated. This was the bill which failed of pass- age because of the vote of State Sen- Ator Grattan, who, according to pre- vious testimony, changed his' mind about voting for it aftertan alleged talk with Mr. Barnes the night before it came up 'for consideration. As for the statement accredited to him by ‘Colonel Raosevelt that the people were ‘“not fit to govern them- gelves,” Mr. Barnes declared he never said it. = During the day he painted in words a picture of his political career and .gave his ideas about po- Dtical _organization. Conferred With Roosevelt. In reply to questions regarding the franchise tax bill Mr. Barnes said: “My recollectioh is that I had only one conversation with Colonel Roose- Iselt from January 1, 1899 until after the passage of the franchise tax bill.” “Mr, Roosevelt,” said Mr. Iving, “testified. that you two talked on leg: islatiye and. other matters. How many times, if ever, did you talk upon such subjects with Mr.. Roosevelt?” “Twice.”. “Mr. Roosevelt said he discussed ‘with you issues between Senator Platt and Mr. Roosevelt. Did he?” “I never knew there was any ls- sues “ between them,” replied Mr. Bapues, . {'In reply to further questioning Mr. ‘Barnes denied that he had talked with Colonel Roosevelt about an- tagonism between Senator Platt and the organization and Colonel Roose- velt, or had discussed the franchise Aax bill ‘with the then governor before it reached his hands. Mr. Barnes faid he couldn’t say that Colonel Roosevelt had not talked to him ‘on numerous - subjects 'and that he - couldn’t say that he himself was silent at all times. “I was in the position of a listener,” said Mr. Barnes. Author of Franchise Tax Editorial. Mr. Barnés said he did not discuss ithe franchise tax bill with Colonel Roosevelt until after its passage. Mr. Barnes acknowledged the authority of an editorial article in the ‘“Albany Evening Journal” criticising that bill. The editorial was read to the jury. In it was stated that the franchise tax had caused much dissension . ‘Cor- porate greed” was mentioned.’ It was aiso sald the governor made no mis- take ‘in calling'a special session of the legislature to conllder the bill ana en amendment. Another editorial from the *“Jour- nal” was handed by “Mr. Barnes. He sald he was not sure he wrote it, but that it wasg certainly written at his suggestion. That editorial also was read to the jury. It was on the amended franchise tax bill and argued that the new bill should receive the vote of every man of the legislature. In reply to questions Mr. Barnes then went on; “I never discussed that franchise tax bill with Governor Roosevelt prior to its passage. I might have men- tioned it in later years as a matter of history.” “Did you ever talk to him about the ‘effect the franchise tax might have on political contributors.” “No,” replied Mr..Barnes. “Did you ever discuss with Colonel Roosevelt the matter of contributions being given to both parties and men- tion Anthony N. Brady and Mr. Pruyn?" : ‘Brady’s Contribution. “I told him, Mr. Brady had con- tributed .to the democratic campaign fund. T told him Mr.” Pruyn had con- tributed to the republican fund. I never told him Mr. Brady had con- tributed . to .the republican campaign ‘fund. ' Mr./Tvins read that part of.Colonel Roosevelt's testimony wherein he said Mr. Barnes urged him not to ‘sign the bill,) “Po what does that refer?” asked Mr. Barnes with a smile., “The franchise tax bill,” Ivins, said . Mr, b 4Not to sign the ‘bl said Mr. $18 These are pure worsted checks and stripes, hand tailored and made up to sell at $22. : ’fhe variety is unlimited. The proposi- tion is all to the good. Barnés, hesitating, “why, ot course not.” Mr. Ivins said: *Colonel Roosevelt testified here that you urged him to reappoint Mr. Payn state superinten- dent of insurance. ' Did you talk to him on that subject?” He may have talked to me.” ‘Did_you. tell him that you did' not favor Mr, Payn but ' that Mr. Platt aid 7" “No,’ I never tried 4o bring about any unnecessary quarrel between Sen- ator Platt and Governor Roosevelt. I did not favor Mr. Payn’s reappoint- ment. 1 never had any idea that Governor Roosevelt would retain him, 'Did you ever say it was essential to protect big business because they supported the organizations and that without orfanizations there could be no leaders and that the people were not fit to govern themselves?” Maintain Party Protection. “I did not say that. 1 never men- tioned protection. I. sald if we are to maintain party government in this country it was necessary for the par- ties to be organized and that no move- ment could succeed unless it was or- ganized. The idea that the people could rule without organization and order is absurd upon its face, 1 said no political organization could suc- ceed unless financed and attended by men who would give up their entire time to it. I included every party in existence.” ¥ Never Used Word “Riff-Raff.” “Did you ever talk to Roosevelt about the riff-raff.?" *“I don't know what that means. I never used it.” ‘““Who was republican leader in this state after 19067 “In_the ccnventlon ‘of 1906, Roosevelt was." “Who in the convention of 19087" “Same answer.” REDUGE THOSE DANGEROUS SWOLLEN VEINS Physiclans are prescribing and hos- pitals are using a new and harmless, yet very powerful germicide that not only causes enlarged or varicose veins’ and bunches to become normal but also reduces goitre,: enlarged glands and wens, Ask any first class druggist for an original two-ounce of Emerald OIil (full strength) and refuge to accept anything in its place.

Mr. Barnes was then temporarily excused from the stand. ‘A number of men who webe in the legislature in 1911 then Went tipon the stand 'and swore that they had not 'discussed the sematorial question with Mr. Barnes before or during 1h. "deadlock: After: théy had concluded, Mr. Barnes again ‘went K back on the wit- ness stand. He said he did not re= member the introduction -of the Hart- Agnew racet: bill, but that he knew such a bijl had been in existence and was passed at a special session of | the legislature after it had failed ‘of passage during a regular session. The witness' was shown a telegram. He said he had received it March 14, 1908. The message was signed “Wil- liam Loeb.” It was read to' the jury and in part ‘'was as follows:— “President wishes to know whether you can lunch with him.” Lunched With President. “In reply to that telegram,” said Mr, Barnes, “I went to Washington. The president told me August Bel- mont had come to see him about the race track bill. He sald he wanted me to go to New York and see Mr. Belmont. I finally consented. I said there was bound to be gcandal. The president 'said the should be defeated. So I went to New York to see Mr. Belmont.”" | A discuss arose between the counsel for both sides at that ppint manner in which he changed his vote |nn the race track bill. Mr. Grattan's single vote, according to previous testimony, defeated the measure. ing to get the court to admit testi- mony to show why, according to his contentions, Mr. Grattan changed his mind. Justice Andrews recalled that testimony about Mr. Grattan’s alleged actions was admitted in justification only insofar as it might go to show if it did, Mr, Barnes’ dominance in the | republican party, Questions concerning two letters al- ready in the record were then asked Mr. Barnes. After that he was ques- | tionea about editorials that appeared Barned sald he caused them to be written, The first appeared the day after the Agnew-Hart race track bill was defeated. It was 'headed, “The Day ot Bulldozing Has Gone.’ Mr. Barnes was then asked about testimony given on the stand by J. J. Dickinson, former Albany corespond- ent of the “New York Herald.” Dickinson told of a conversation he sald he had with Mr. Barnes in regard to a conversation Mr. Barnes himself ‘had with Gofernor Hughes. Mr. Barnes said: Told Hughes He Made Mistake. “On April 14, 1904, dinner in Albany. I sat next to Gev- ernor Hughes, It was apparent that Mr. Iving was try- | in the “Albany Evening Journal.” Mr. | ! said he declared he was opposed to | Governor ' Hughes and’ that | opposition. i not want to make | their throats a second time.” Agnew-Hart bill | Mr. | ! no affair of mine.” " you are making a mistake in regard to this race track legislation.’ He said, ‘T disagree with you.' 1 said, ‘The thing will cause the republican party to lose 25,000 votes." Mr, Hughes re- plied, ‘We’ll gain two votes for every one we lose.’ I asked, ‘Where?' and Mr. Hughes replied, ‘From the demo- cratic party.’ “I asked him whether he believed he would get the votes of the men who had voted against him and he replied, ‘My conscicnce would not let me finish my term without seeing that law in the statute books’ T replied: ‘Oh, I' thought we were discussing votes. If it is your conscience, it is Mr. Barnes denied that he had ever told Mr. Dickinson or anyone else he had told Governor Hughes, “If it is a question of your conscience and votes, then we have no common ground be- tween us.” “The withess in reply to further questions - testified regarding the luncheon at Oyster Bayyin 1908, at which .the renomination of Governor Hughes was discussed. He said that present at the luncheon were Herbert Parsons, Francis Hendricks, Colonel Roosevelt and 'himself, Mr. Barnes Messrs. Parsons and Hendricks also were in Colonel Roosevelt, said Mr. Barnes, then asserted that he did “his friends cut Campaign of 1908, “Did yvou place any one in nomina- tion at the convention subsequent to that luncheon?” asked Mr, Ivins, “I did not,” replied the witness. seconded the mnomination of Mr. Wadsworth, Later, however, 1 dia make a motion to make Mr. Hughes’ nomination unanimous.” “In that campaign,” Mr. kvins went on, “did you visit every .polling place in your district?” Mr. Bowers objected. sustained the objection, and almost simultaneously Mr: Barnes, smiling broadly, said, “I did.not,” The question and its answer seemed to amuse not only Mr. Barnes, but practically every person in the court room, The lawyers then entered into a conference with Justice Andrews.
