tenness.
Not to lie Bossed
"I told Mr. Barnes Senator Piatt
had told me he had decided upon a
superintendent of public works who
was satisfactory and that Senator
Piatt had congratulated me upon get
ting such a good man.
"Well," Colonel Roosevelt went on.
"the man was Francis Hendricks, of
Syracuse. I told Mr. Barnes I didn't
intend any man should say whom I
should appoint."
As the Coolnel said this his .law
squared and he pounded upon the
Judge's bench. He continued:
"Mr. Barnes said in reply that Sen
ator Piatt was right and that the
leader of an organization must have
complete control of it."
"In 1908 did you discuss legislation
at Albany with Mr. Barnes?" asked
Mr. Bowers.
"Yes." replied the witness. "Mr.
Barnes spoke with me generally on
the subject of legislation. He said
Governor Hughes was favoring legis
lation against the Interests of the
organization and that the Democratic
organization was backing up the Re-'
publicans in defeating legislation fos
tered by Governor Hughes.
"Mr. Barnes said he and his friends
had control of the party. He did not
say he, himself, was personally In
control. He did say that Mr. Hughes
could not take the control away from
those In whom It was Invested."
Relates Four Political Chapters
Four chapters of Albany politics
were related by Theodore Rooscj elt on
the witness stand to-day. The ex-
President gave what he claimed to be
the details of the election by "Barnes
Republicans" assisted by "Murphy
Democrats" of anottlelal leader of the
Republican party in New York; the
cause of the hostilities between Wil
liam Barnes and Governor Hughes;
the defeat of tho Hart-Agnew racing
bill by the Republican organization
and the fight he said the combined
Democratic and Republican machines,
the latter led by Mr, Barnes, made
against direct primaries legislation.
He also identified a letter written
by Mr. Barnes In which the latter told
him "the Idea of getting rid of bosses
Is absurd so long as you have party
government."
Colonel Roosevelt was on the stand
during the entire forenoon session of
court. He was to continue the story
by which lie hopes to prove to the
Jury that he was justified In causing
the publication of the statement upon
which Mr. Barnes is suing him for
libel, this afternoon,

bees at their work:
"I was much Interested In watching
the bees. It seemed much more ap
propriate to be watching the bees than
to be working and sweating with the
tree planting. The bees were hard at
work certainly, but their example did
not impress me. Watching them
closely 1 learned that they were not
so hard-worked after all; for at best
they kept only an eight-hour day, like

WILMINGTON MAN FOUND DEAD
UNDER PHILADELPHIA BRIDGE
Philadelphia, April 21. —The body of
a well-dressed man believed to be a
resident of Wilmington, Del,, was
found to-day under a bridge spanning
the subway in this city of the Phila
delphia and Reading Railway. The
skull Was crushed and there is a pos
sibility that the man was murdered,
but It Is more likely he was struck by
a train as the body was found lying
beside the tracks. Another theory is
that he jumped from the bridge.
In one of the pockets was a letter
addressed to Patrick Kennedy, 1406
King street, Wilmington. A hat that
had been worn by the victim bore the
initials P. K., which leads the police
to believe the body is that of Ken
nedy.
