MA: JAMES J. WALKER
opened his defense before Gov-
ernor Roosevelt, and numerous wit-
nesses were called to testify to the
purity of his actions
and motives. At the
beginning of the week
Walker's chief coun-
sel, John J. Curtin,
closed his plea to Su-
preme Court Justice
Staley to halt the re-
moval proceedings,
and with what seems
to be his usual lack
of tact wound up with
the statement: “We
can only go to court
to avoid a physical
conflict that might well ensue if a re
moval order were made without juris
diction.” Henry Epstein of the at-
torney general's staff challenged the
authority of the court to limit the gov-
ernor's power.
The mayor's first witnesses were the
members of the city taxi board of con-
trol. one of them being L. F. Loree,
president of the Delaware and Hudson
railroad. He and his colleagues testi-
fled that Walker did not attempt In
any way to limit the number of cabs
after the bond transaction with J. A,
Sisto which is the basis of one of Mr.
Seabury's most serious charges. Four
independent taxicab operators were
called and swore the board of control
had not tried to create a monopoly
for the larger companies,
Paul Block, the newspaper pub-
lisher, was a loyal and stubborn wit-
ness for the mayor. Concerning their
joint stock account, he testified that
each took £102,000 from it in one year,
and he told the governor that he never
entertained the thought that his per
friendship for the
mayor might be used to trade for “fa-

the magazine “a plat-

ARMERS of the Middle West were
meeting with considerable success
in thelr “strike” designed to force
produce prices to higher levels. The
movement, which started In Iowa,
spread to other states, and two vie-
tories were scored in Nebraska where
milk producers gained higher prices.
At Omaha officials of the lowa-Ne-
praska Co-Operative Milk association
consented to pay $2 per hundredweight
for milk, compared with a previous
figure of $1.45, while at Lincoln milk
dealers agreed to pay $150, an in

More than 1,000 agriculturists were
