T.R. LOSES FIGHT | FOR VICE EVIDENCE Court Refuses to Place Before Jury Testimony Regardipng Condi- tions at Albany. COLONEL IS THROUGH TALKING SYRACUSE, N. Y. April 30.— Theodore Roosevelt was excused from witness stand yesterday in the $50,000 suit for alleged libel which- William Barnes has brought against him, after he had told his own story of how he ended the panic of 1907 and had identified a letter in which Charles S. Whitman, now governor and then district attormey of New York, wrote that he thought the time was ripe to rid the state of the kind of party control which was malnly responsible for corrupt conditions. In the letter the governor declared that the men and policies responsible for such corruption were not con- fined to any one party, but the col- onel said he belleved Mr. Barnes was referred to. Loeb on Stand. Willlam Loeb, jr., once the colonel's private secretary in the White House and later collector of the port of New York, also was a witness. He swore that Will- iam Barnes had told him that he had an sgreement with Charles F. Murphy of Tammany hall not to interfers in the se- lcetion of a United States senator. That was in 1911, prior to the time James A. O'Gorman was chosen. While Mr, Loeb was on the stand couns sel for the colonel made a futile attempt 1o get before the jury testimony regarding vice and gambling in Albany. Of the panic of 1907 the colonel toid how Fenry C. Frick and former Judge E. . Gary, representing the United States Steel corporation, had come to him in the White House and told him that if the P. Morgan interests could take over the Tennessee Coal and Iron company before the exchange opened the stock, much of which was held as collateral, would im- mediately become enhanced in value and the business of the country, which was “irembling on a hair,” would not be sus- pended. The colonel told how he took action in the matter and then notified the news- vapers of what had been done. He said, with some display of pride, the panic was stopped. Explains Appolntments. During the day Colonel Roosevelt swore that he had not heard the names of many of the men who were sald to have con- tributed large sums to his campaign fund in 1904 until they were read in court dur- ing cross-examination by Willlam M. Ivins. He also made explanatory state- ments about his appointment of judges and his relations with former United Btates Senator: Thomas C. Platt and about speeches he made in which the name of Mr. Barnes was mentioned, Asked whether there was any “invisible governmont” while he was govermor or president, the colonel answered, “‘Not the slightest particle.”” Coungel for the plaintiff and defendant fought over virtually every plece of im- portant evidence presented today. Mr, Barnes spent the greater part of the day in taking nofes’on & pad of: . Aftar the colonel was excused the he read a magasine for a while, but when Mr. Loeb and George B. w, farmer state senator, were on the # the- de- fendant paid close attention to every- thing they said. Mr, Agnew gave testi- mony concerning voting in the senaté on race track legislation and the mamner which he sald Senator Grattan defeated the racing bill after he had been advised by Mr. Barnes how to cast his declding vote. » Justice Andrews, 1n a statement made to counsel durjpg arguments and while the jury was out of the room, asserted that no evidence had been produced con- | neécting Mr. Barnes with any “corrupt | connivance,” insbfar ‘as the municipal | government of Albany was concerned. Then he added: “"Where the libel charges a man with being o thief it is not enough to say| simply that the charge is true, but ome must set up in the answer the fécts from which the inference is made. “Here the charge is that Mr. Barnes ‘Was corrupt in one way or another. You are bound not simply to say that ‘the charges are true’ You are bound to set forth the facts, which if true, would constitute justification; they have got to be set forth, so that if the facts are true they would show corruption. “That you have failed utterly to do with respect to the Albany Lincoln league and gambling conditions, and I am in- clined to think you have done it with respect to the printing charges.” .|the “eye witness" said, charged forward over the practically un- resisting army In their immediate front and penetrating through the gap thus created passed on silently and swiftly to the south and west. By their sudden in- terruption they were able to overrun and surprise a large proportion of the French troops billeted behind the front line in this area and to bring some of the French guns, Miles of Crickets Mowing Down Wheat WILSON CREEK, Wash, April 80.—A column of ecrickets four miles long and twelve feet wide Is mowing down the wheat flelds of Grant county.

Ges - Roasted Ooffes cannot be put up for one cent less and yet give you the satisfaction in handling it or give the satistaction to your customer in buying it that it now does. Paxton Ocoffee is not only gas roasted, thereby being quickly \ roasted, thus preventing loss in strength, but it is first thoroughly soreened, then cleaned by alr to remove all dust and light dried bitter beans. Geas Roasting means something. The Omaha Ges Oompany will tell you that we are the biggest consumers of gas in the city. You can use your own judgment, for we certainly would not pay them over $500.00 a month for gas to roast our coffee if we could do it by using coal, for $50.00 per month. The proposition is just this, and you will agree with us that it looks reasonable. If we can roast coflee directly. in the flame In twenty minutes, coffee that it takes forty minutes to roast by coal, the gas rossted coffee will certainly retain more strength and flavor than if it were roasted slowly in ovens by the coal proce The quslity and flavor are not only of the highest grade, but are always the same and your customer never complains that any oan is not as good as the can before. : Parton Gas Roassted Ooffee is packed under our red labe! in two-pound air-tight can 80 that it 1s always fresh and contains all the delicate flavor and esroms that it had when first roasted. Ooffees packed in air-tight cans are rapidly displacing the old trouble- some bulk method which allowed the coffee to absorb moisture with every change in the weather and to lose its strength and fiavor.
