THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, MAY 1, 11. "i. 11 T. R. LOSES FIGHT FOR YICJBYIDEHCH Court Refuses to Place Before Jury Testimony Begaxdipg Condi tions at Albany. COLONEL IS THROUGH TALKING SYRACUSE, N. Y.. April 10. Theodore Roosevelt was excused from witness stand yesterday in the $50,000 suit for alleged libel which- William Barnes has Drought against him. after be had told his own story of how he ended the panlo of 1907 nd had Identified a letter In which Charles S. Whitman, now governor and then district attorney of New York, wrote that he thought the time wss ripe to rid the state of the kind of party control which was mainly 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 believed Mr. Barnes was referred to. LMk Stand. William Loeb. Jr.. once the colonel's private secretary In the White House and later collector of the port of New York, alio waa a wUneea He awore that Will iam Barnee had told him that he had an agreement with Charlea P. Murphy of Tammany hall not to Interfere in the se lection of a United Stales senator. That was in 1911, prior to the time Jeinea A. O Gorman was chosen. While Mrv Leeb waa on the stand covin eet for the colonel made a futile attempt to ret before the Jury testimony regarding vice and gambllna- in Albany. Of tha panlo of 1907 the colonel toid how V'.enry C. Frick. and former Judge K. II. Gary, representing the United S La Lea Steel corporation, had come to him in the White House and told him that if the J. Tenneaaee Coal and Iron company before he exchange opened the stock, much of vhlch was held aa collateral, would im mediately become enhanced in value and the business ot the country, which , was "trembling on a hair." would not be sua nded. The colonel told how he took action in the matter and then notified the news papers of what had been done. He said, with some display of pride, the . panlo was stopped. Explain Appointment. Puling the day Colonel Roosevelt swore that he bad not heard the names ot many ef the men who were said to have con tributed large sums to hla campaign fund In 1904 until they were read In court dur ing cross-examination, by William M. Ivlns. He also made explanatory state ments about his appointment of Judges and his relations with former United States Senator. Thomas C. Piatt and about speeches he made In which the name ' of ' Mr. Barnes .was mentioned. Asked whether there was any "invisible government" while he waa governor or president, the colonel ana we red, "Not the lltghteat particle." Counsel for the plaintiff and defendant fought ever virtually every place of Im portant evidence presented today. Mr. ' Barnes spent the greater part of the day Sn taking- noiee on a pad of paper. After the eolonet was excused from the stand' he. read a maeastne for a while, but when Mr. Loeb and George B. Agnew, former state senator, were en the stand , the- de fendant paid close attention to every thing they said. Mr. Agnew gave testi mony concerning voting in the senate on race track legislation and the manner in which he said Senator Orattan defeated the racing bill after he had been advised by Mr. Barnee how to ceet his deciding vote. . . Justice Andrews, tn a statement made to counsel during arguments and while the Jury waa out of the room, asaerted that no evidence had been produced con necting Mr. Barnes with any "corrupt connivance," Insofar 'aa " the municipal government of Albany waa ooncerned. Then he added:- "Where the libel charges man with being a thief it is not. enough to aay imply that the charge ia true, but one must aet up in the answer the Act from which the Inference ia made. "Here the charge is that Mr. Barnes was corrupt in one way or another. Tou are bound not simply to aay that the chargea are true." You are bound to aet forth the facts, which If true, would constitute Justification; they have got to be act 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 t hi ilk you have done it with respect to the printing chargea." William M. Ivlns. chief counsel for William Barnes said late tonight he had telegraphed to Governor Whitman ask- ing him to appear aa a witness In re buttal and testify regarding the authenti city of the letter read today, and ether matters. Counsel for Colonel Roosevelt said they had submitted the letter to per sona who were familiar with tha gov ernor's signature who had declared it to be hie. Women at the Peace Congress Object to Anti-Slav Lobby THE HAGUE, rtevnemna (Via Lon don), April 30. The entire session today of tne International oongresa of women waa devoted to the discussion and adop tion of two resolutions. The first pro vided for democratic control in framing the foreign policies of nations. It recom mended the nullification of all secret treaties and the participation In the adop tion of future treaties of the people at least through the legislative brancbee of governments. The second resolution, presented by Miss Kmlly Ba'.ch of Welleslev college, opposed the transfer ef territory of one nation te another without the consent of the in habitants. It recommended recognition of the right ef peoples to self-government and demanded a democratic form of gov. trnment fer every nation. Lerge uan titles of pamphlets dealing, wkh conditions In Poland were dis tributed among the delegates. Thle aroused tome feeling- on the part of the women who characterised It aa antl-Rua-slan propaeanda emanating from German sources. tr. Sofia Gollnska of Munich and Eknlly Kapleralskl of Chicago made aeecbes in support of the movement for the freedom of the Poles. References also were made to the political position of Jews and Pinna tn Rusaia. i I Miles of Crickets Mowing uown wneat WIU90N CRKEK, Waoh., April A column of crickets four miles long and twelve feet wide Is mowing down the wheat fields ef Grant county.

The British official "eye witness" In a narrative of the battle of Tpres says the Ger mans bad prepared to attack the allied line on the SOth. but the wind not being favorable "for the use of asphyxiating gases," they postponed It until the ISd. The gas, the narrative says, was distributed along the German front line in front of the French position and the wind being from the north It was blown directly on the French. The Cieroaa Plata. The Germans plan, according to the "eye witness was to make a sud den onslaught southwestwsrd, which, if successful, would enable the Ger mans to gain crossings of the canal south of Blxschoote and place them well behind the British line and In a position to threaten Tpres. "Allowing time for the vapors to take full effect en the troops, facing them." the "eye witness" said, "the Germans charged forward over the practically un resisting army in their immediate front and penetrating through the gap thua 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, as well as our own, under a, hot rifle fire at close range." Only Twe Mllea from Vpres. The "eye witness" then tells how a bat tery of field artillery, which the Germans had virtually surrounded, fired upon the Germans at a point blank range, checked their rush and did not lose a gun. The Infantry meantime had withdrawn to. St Jullen. Reinforcements finally were brought up by offlcera on their own In itiative to meet the German, who by this time were barely two mllea from Ypres.

The Pester Lloyd prints a Darda nelles dlspstch which says that the Turkish batteries at Kabatepeh sank twelve sloops in which the allies landing corps were retreating . LONDON, April 80. With the battle In Flanders seemingly at an end, except for the attacks which the allies are making to recover the re mainder of the ground which they lost last week, the Interest of the public has turned to the Dardanelles, where French and British forces have been landed, and with the co operation of the fleet are making attempts to force the straits and open the way to Constantinople. How far these operations have pro gressed only those on the spot and the highest authorities at home know. The Britten have landed at three points on the OaDlpoli peninsula and have thrown a line across the outer point .of the peninsula. Menace Bulalt Llae. j Other lirUlnh troops are threatening- the Bulatr line of torts, and the French are looking after the Turks on the Asiatic aide of the strait. Tho Turks repdrt that all the landing parties have been repulsed, but the Brit ish reporta which are very brief, content themselves with the statement that prog ess Is being made, and Ignore entirely the Turkish claims to victories. Along the western front in France there ie much activity, but no big battle la In progress, although there are report that the Brltlxh have begun an offensive In the neighborhood of Armentierea. The Germans apparently do not contemplate a movement In force on the western end of the line, aa they opened today the Belgian-Dutch frontier, which la always closed when the Germans are on the move.

The Russian on their part have again taken the offensive gainst the Turkish Invaders ot Persia and have driven them from the border town of Kotua. Dispatches from neutral countries re port that a great concentration of Aus trian troops Is taking place on the Italian frontier, as a measure against the possi bility of Italy Joining the allies, and that OUR DEALERS: Tou realize the advantage and satisfaction that a bl and satisfied coffee trade Is to you and bow it helps your other grocery business. We realize this with our Paxton two-pound can, selling orer one mil lion . pounds year. Its continued satisfaction alone haa built up this enormous sale. , You owe it to the success ef your Coffee Department to handle and push the two-pound can Paxton's Oaa Roasted Ooflee. The consumers through the whole west know the coffee and like It. It 'la the highest value they oan get for 80o per pound. In blending Paxton Coffee and In pushing Its sale we aim first to cater to tbe great buying publlo, the people who buy at the popular price of 80o per pound. To please this great class, we hare glren the highest ralue that 'coffee blending ' and roasting can produoe. and yet sell at 80c per pound to your consumer. Paxton. Oaa Roasted Coffee cannot be put up for one cent less and yet give you the satisfaction In handling It or gtre the satisfaction to your customer In buying It that It now does. Paxton Ooflee is not only gat roasted, thereby being quickly roasted, thus preventing loss In strength, but It Is first thoroughly screened,- then cleaned by air to remo?e all dust and light dried bitter beans. . Oas Roasting means something. The Omaha Oas Company will tell you that we are tbe biggest consumers of gas In the city. You can use your own Judgment, for we certainly would not pay them oyer $500.00 a month for gas to roast our coffee if we could do it by using coal, for 850.00 per month. The proposition is Just this, and you will agree with us that It looks reasonable. If we can roast coffee directly, in tbe flame In twenty minutes, coffee that It takes forty minutes to roast by coal, ' the gas roasted coffee will certainly retain more strength and flavor than If It were roasted slowly In ovens by tbe coal process. The quality and flavor are not only of the highest grade, but are always the same and your customer never complains that any can Is not as good as the can before. Paxton Oas Roasted Coffee Is paoked under our red label In two-pound alr-tlght cans, so that It Is always fresh and contains all the delicate flavor and aroma that It had when first roasted. Coffees packed In alr-tlght cans are rapidly displacing tbe old trouble some bulk method which allowed the coffee to absorb moisture with every change In , the weather and to lose Its strength and flavor. If you do not handle Paxton Oas Roasted Ooflee, write requesting samples, prices, etc. PAXTON & OALLAOHER 00.. Omaha, Neb.
