OF ROOSEVELT EI\IDS| In One Speech He Said Barnes Was a "Menace to State of New York" By Associated Press Syracuse. N. Y., April 28.—Theo- i dore lloosevelt told to-duy as a wit ness in the $50,000 libel suit brought againfct him by William Barnes why, when Governor of New York and President of the United States, he conferred with former United States Senator Thomas C. Piatt, the "boss." While he was Governor of New York, the Colonel declared he dis cussed things with Senator Piatt lie cause he had found out that the Leg islature obeyed his orders. And the witness thought it best, when there was any likelihood of that lawmaking body of the State disagreeing with him, to first go to headquarters and talk things over. Further, as Gov ernor, the Colonel said he did not want to run any chances o-f disrupt ing the Republican party. As President of the United States the Colonel readily admitted he con ferred constantly with the senator from New York on all manner of things. He said he valued the sena tor's advice and wanted to take ad vantage of his wide experience. Cross-quest ioning Knds The statements were made in reply to questions asked the f'olonel during the early part of his redirect exami nation. his cross-examination by coun sel for William Barnes, having been concluded to-day. When court opened Mr. Ivins then asked the Colonel whether he remem bered making a speech at Hudson Kalis in 113. The speech at Hudson Falls was read, in it Colonel Roosevelt was re ported as saying that Mr. Barnes was a "menace to the State of New York" and that if he was a menace before election he was "a menace yet." In another speech Colonel Roosevelt was quoted as saying, and he said he was incorrectly quoted that "Mr. B. and Mr. M." would be in the same party. The speech was delivered in Saratoga. In it Colonel Roosevelt was also quoted ap saying that one controls New York and the other controls Al bany. Colonel Roosevelt said the speech was substantially correct but that part of the things he said had been left out and part had been short ened and incorrectly reported. "I never said Mr. B. and Mr. M." the Colonel said. "I said Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy." Speech at Malone In a speech delivered at Malone. | N. Y., Colonel Roosevelt charged that Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy were in coiusion in regard to elections. An objection to a question on this passage was sustained. Mr. Ivins ar gued in vain that he be allowed to read the speeches to show that Colonel Roosevelt repeated his accusations against Mr. Barnes many times. "Do you remember speaking at Gloversville?" "Yes." Mr. Ivins read a speech. In it Colo nel Roosevelt was represented as say ing that he wouldn't say Mr. Murphy's and Mr. Barnes' principles were the I same because he wasn't sure they had 1 any principles. An objection was sus- j tained. Mr. Ivins referred to speeches made in several places In which Colonel I Roosevelt was said in the nwspapers! to have repeated his statements about i Mr. Barnes. Colonel Roosevelt said | h<_ remembered the speeches he made : last year and that he mentioned Mr. i Barnes. "Whut was your salary as President : of the United States?' "$50,000." Traveling Expenses "Did Congress appropriate $25,000 ! for your traveling expenses?'* Mr. Bowers objected and was SUM- i tained. Mr. Ivins argued that he wanted to j | test the good faith of the witness and i show that although $50,000 was the President's salary he approved the bill which gave him $25,000 for traveling I expenses. i "This witness," the attorney said, "has charged the existence of invisible i government. I want to test his good I faith." i Mr. Ivins then read from a magazine ■ article bearing the Colonel's name. I In this the Colonel deplored personal 1 I attacks on men in public life from j I the stump. Mr. Ivins then announced he was .through with the witness. RUN DOWN BY AUTO 1 Jacob Myers, 1553 Vernon street, was i struck by an automobile shortly be i fore noon to-rta.v near bis home, reeeiv -1 Ing n compound fracture of the left leg.
