By Samuel M. Williams, 1 Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) SYRACUSE, N, Y., April 29.—Col. Roosevelt finished at noon to-day 6 eight days of testimony in the Barnes libel suit, furnishing at the finish two sensations that formed a lurid climax to his amazing combina- tion of revelations, confessions and explanations. The first of his closing bits of dramatic staging was a graphic explanation of how he stopped the panic of 1907 by giving the Steel Trust permission to absorb its rival, the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. The second sensation was the produc- tion of the letter alleged to have been written by Gov. Whitman Feb. 19, 1914, proposing an alliance of Republicans and Progressives “to rid the State of party control, which, In my opinion, is mainly responsible for the REFUSE TO TESTIFY AT SAFFORD TRIAL mentioned no names, but when coun- gel asked him if he understood that It referred to Mr. Barnes he replied em~- If Put on "Stew b by the De- fense She'll Plead Privilege, Her Lawyer Says. phatically, "It did.” The letter signed by Whitman was addressed to Charles H. Duell and was as follows: “In line with our last talk, [ agree with you that the time is ripe for an alliance of the Progressive Republt- cana and members of the Nattonal Progressive Party, aa well as of all goo citizens sharing their opinions, to rid the Stato of the kind of party control which, in my opinion, is main- ly responsible for the corrupt condt- tlons which have been clearly shown fn the various examinations and in- vestigations which have been had during the last year, ‘These condt- tions are not localized, and the men and tho polictes responsible for them are not confined to any one party. “CHAS, WHITMAN." BARNES [{S SURPRISED BY WHITMAN LETTER. Mr. Barnes listened with surprise to the reading of the Whitman letter. It was new to him and for the mo ment ho was puzzled to know wheth- er he had been double-crossed by the Governor in the last political cam- paign, for Whitman had publicly re- pudiated young Mr, Duell last eum- mer when that gentleman attempted to line him up with Roosevelt and the Progressive party. It will bo remembered that there was published then an alleged letter from Whitman of similar import to Roosevelt that had initials only for a signature. Mr. Whitman said he never hud signed the letter; that It Rae Tanzer will not testify in the case of Franklin D. Safford, now on trial for perjury before Judge Hough in the United States District Court This statement was made in court to-day by Harold Splelburg, ber counsel. The charge against Safford grew out of his testimony on behalf of Rae Tanser in her efforts to recover $50,- 000 damages from James W. Osvborne for ulleged breach of promise of marriage, She alleged Mr. Osborne, a former Avsistant District Attoney af New York, tovk her to the Hotel Kensington at Plainfield, N. J., on Sunday, Oct. 14, 1914, and remained there with her during the afternoon, having registered as “O. Osborne and Mrs, O. Osborne,” Safford testified James W.

It ts declared that a British force took possession of the coast 85 miles north of the point on the extreme end of the peninawla which was firat seized by the British and that an entire dattation of Turkish troops--1,000 men. was captured, Athens despatches say the British are holding the European side at the mouth of the Dardanelles and that the French troopa are on the Asiati Both arnites are declared to be moving forward, while the allied warships keep up the fire of their big guna. These claims are disputed by Constantinople and Berlin, A mesyage from the Turkish capital, dated two days ago, declares that “hostile forces estimated at four brigades” have been driven into the sea, A Hritish brigade is made up of §,000 men, According to the Turkish report 16,000 men have been driven into the sea. A despatch from Kerlin speaks of the defeat of “four brigades of the enemy, who have bvecn driven back to the coast at Kaba Tepeh,” This is a few mites north of the point of the Gatipoll Peninaula, occupled by the British. Turks and Germana both mention the aink- ing of a transport of the allies, There is the usual confitet today in reports from Rertin, Parte and London, The British say alt attacks of the Germans along the Yaer have been thrown back, Paris asserts that the Belgians and French are going along the right bank of the canal, whtle Bertin insists that all attacks have failed.
