certain business men would be un-

the bill. Barnes said that in the
neighborhood of .Albany two men,
Robert Pruyn and Anthony N. Brady,
who controlled electric power com-
panies. had been heavy contributors to
the Republican campaign fund.

which may justify action.

WASHINGTON, April 20 — Repre-
sentatives of the Indiana Bituminous
Coal Operators' Association, including
some Chicago operators, were at the
White House and the Department of
Justice today in an effort to obtain
permission to establish a single selling
organization.
There are 114 coal mining com-
panies interested and if the desired
authority is granted it will permit
them to abolish 100 selling offices and
900 salesmen. The claim is made also
that other duplication of effort would
be avoided and the result would be a
material reduction in the cost of mar-
keting coal.
The association has already asked
the Federal Trade Commission for
permission to establish the agency, but

A: I discussed both matters with
him. I discussed with him most of
the important matters that grew' to
be an issue between me and Senator
Platt
Q: Perhaps you will explain what
you mean by an issue between you
and Senator Platt?
A: Senator Platt was the head of
the organization, the leader or—as he
was publicly known—the "boss."
Q: Well, he was the leader, any-
way?
A: The leader of the organization,
and the organization, as I had pre-
viously known—as I speedily found
out—the organization controlled the
majority of the Republican members
of the Legislature and at times
worked together with the Democratic
organization.
Q: The issues which you had with
Mr. Platt and which you discussed
with Mr. Barnes—did they relate to
legislative or executive action ?
A: They related to legislative ac-
tion and executive action, where I
either intended to do something as
Governor, or desired that the Legis-
lature should do something legisla-
tive, or where Mr. Platt and the or-
ganization was antagonistic to what I
did or proposed to do, so that some
times the discussion was relative to
executive action and some times to
legislative action.
Q: Did you discuss with Mr. Barnes
those matters to which you have re-
ferred as iss ues with Mr. Platt?
A: I did.
After objection had been overruled
to the franchise question, Mr. Roose-
velt proceeded.
"While discussing the franchise tax
law with me. Mr. Barnes admitted
having received contributions from
both Democratic and Republican lead-
ers, with the understanding that the
contributors were to be protected be-
cause of these contribution.s
"Mr. Barnes stated that Mr. Platt
was right in opposing these bills."
Here Mr. Ivins broke in with the
manager of the J. B. Lyon Company
of Albany, which does the State print-
ing.
Winchester had brought ten steamer
trunks full of the books of the firm.
He promised to have an auditor make
copies from these books of all the
State accounts.
The purpose of this is to snow that
Barnes, as a partner in the J. B. Lyon
Company, or having an interest tn it.
received bipartisan favors. This was
charged in the report of the Payne
Investigation arranged by Packy Mc-
Cabe in Albany in 1911 as a political
crusade against Barnes.
Mr. Ivins in opening the case laid
especial stress on two points.
Attack More Dangerous.
First, that not until Barnes op-
posed him politically did the colonel
ever allude to him as a boss; second,
tRat Mr. Roosevelt’s tremendous im-
portance made his attack upon Mr.
Barnes far more dangerous than had
it been put out by another man.
The address was full of elaborate
compliment to Mr. Roosevelt, to whom
Mr. Ivins frequently bowed with great
deference. He was never bitter, never
denunciatory. He confessed himself
a profound admirer of the man from
whom he is trying to extract 950,000
in damages but he omitted no oppor-
tunity to seek to convince the jury
that both premeditation and malice
had entered into the charges and tha*
they were far more than a merely po-
litical diatribe.
Here are the telling phrases from
Mr. Ivins' speech:
"For many years in the councils
of the Republican party the plaintiff
and defendant worked together in har-
mony. When Theodore Roosevelt wax

was executive chairman. They were
friends and co-workers.
"In 1906 diversity began to arise.
The crux came in 1910 when this de-
fendant by his power as a political
leader gained control of the State con-
vention and procured the nomination
of Mr. Stimson for Governor of the
State of New York. Mr. Barnes, be-
lieving that he was serving the best
interest of the party, desired to have
Mr. Wadsworth nominated.' Mr. Stim-
son was defeated and for two terms
Democratic Governors were elected.
"In the year 1912, when there was
a President of the United States to be
nominated and elected. Mr Roosevelt
was a candidate for the nomination
Mr. Barnes, the member of the Re-
publican National committee from
New York State, did not support him.
President Taft wax renominated and
Mr. Roosevelt withdrew from the Re-
publican party and formed the new
volunteer army of the Progressive
party.
"This defendant," continued Mr.
Ivins, "when he gave out this state-
ment, wax speaking not to the State
of New York alone but to the whole
Nation. He had prepared the state-
ment with the same care and skill
that he had shown in preparing 'The
Winning of the West,' that historical
work which I admire tremendously

"But there is a law in this land and
by that law this plaintiff has a right
to call upon this defendant to prove
the charges that he has made, that in
making them he was actuated by a
high and noble motive and that what
he said was the truth and that of this
law we have taken advantage and it is
because of that that you gentlemen
are here today to try the issues in
this case.
Decide Between Man and Man.
"The action is one between man and
man," he went on. "You hre called
to decide betwee man and man as to
the value of reputation The things
which we are guaranteed in this coun-
try are life, liberty and freedom of
speech. As it happens this trial was
begun yesterday on the 149th anni-
versary of the firing of that shot
which was heard around the world.
"On Monday we came into court to
make the man who by his great power
and eloquence and*the force of his
personality set himself up as arbiter nt
right and wrong to prove ths charges
he has made or to take the conse-
quences.”

tried to speak, but each time he was
cut short.
Once when he volunteered: "If I
may be permitted," Mr. Ivins said:
"You can't help out vour lawyer
till this question is ruled on."
After the lawyers standing around
the bench had submitted all the law
they could find, Justice Andrews said
he would rule on the question tomor-
row and Mr. Bowers continued with
a different hue of questioning.
Q: Is there anything which you for-
got to state concerning vour conver-
sation with Mr. Barnes on political
contributions?
A: Yes, Mr. Barnes stated that it
was essential to protect the big busi-
ness interests because unless they were
protected they would make no con-
tributions to the party falling to pro-
tect them—that without such contri-
butions it wax impossible to carry on
the organization and that without or-
ganization. without leaders, without
bosses—he used specifically the word
"bosses"—party government wax im-
possible. And he used this phrase:
"The people are not fit to ’ govern
themselves. They have got to be gov-
erned by the party organization and
you can not run an orgahization, you
can not have leaders unless you have
money."
Q: In USS ‘.nd 1200 Mr Barnes
had some Federal office, did he not.
In Albany?
A: He had the office of Surveyor of
the Port of Albany under the appoint-
ment of President McKinley when he
became Governor.
Q: Will you be good enough to tell
us whether your relations were friend-
ly with Mr. Barnes while you were
Governor?
A: Entirely so. Mr. Barnes wax a
Harvard man, as I wax. I was a great
admirer of his grandfather. Thurlow
Weed. I regarded Mr. Barnes as a
very able man and I looked forward
to his developing into exactly the kind
of a leader that Thurlow Weed had
been in the days of the Whig party.
I wrote him continually all during my
term of office as President.
Q: In fact, you appointed him to of- i
A: Yes. He was chairman of some
committees at headquarters and I saw
him there.
Q: After you were elected Governor
did you meet him, and when and
where?
A: I saw him very often after I
Was elected Governor, meeting him in
various places, but especially in the
executive chamber at the Capitol, at
the executive mansion. I communi-
cated with him by writing also.
Q: Did you have any conferences
or conversations with Mr. Barnes after
you became Governor—say during the
winter and spring of 1999?
A: I had a larger number of con-
ferences with him than with any of
the other organization leaders except
Mr. Platt, or Mr. Odell and certain
members of the Legislature.
Q: What was the general nature
of the conversations that you had

Barnes concerned legislation you pro-
posed should be adopted?
A.—They did.
Q—Was there any discussion about
the appointment of a superintendent
of insurance?
Colonel Roosevelt here went into
his objections to reappointing Lou
Payne as insurance superintendent
and said that Barnes, although he was
not satisfied with Payne, urged him
to appoint Payne because Platt want-
ed Payne. Barnes, he said, told him
that Payne's relations with big busi-
ness men were such as to make his
appointment desirable, and he thought
Platt was right in wanting him. In
any event. Barnes seemed to think
that it was the duty of everybody to
get behind the boss He told Roose-
velt, according to the latter's state-
ment. that the Democrats would not
confirm Payne’s successor.
"Very well " the Colonel quoted
himself as saying, "they can put* him
in when they’re here, but I’ll keep him
out three-quarters of the time."
It was here that his attempt to tell
what Barnes had said to him about
bosses led to the argument of the day
Mr. Ivins ruled that this had not been
mentioned In the pleadings and was,
therefore, inadmissible.
Three or four times the Colonel
flee?
A: I reappointed him to office.
When I became President I announced
that I should continue all of Presi-
dent McKinley’s employes The Treas-
ury Department reported that Mr.
Barnes had performed his duty satis-
factorily and recommended him for
appointment and I reappointed him
and was glad to.
Q: You say you corresponded with
him. Barnes, after you became Presi-
dent?
A: Before and after: Mr. Barnes
visited me at the Whits House on sev-
eral occasions. My relations with him
were most cordial and pleasant.
Q: Now, coming down to 1910.
A: Am I at liberty to speak of cer-
tain of my conversations with him in
the White House before that?
A.—I saw Mr. Barnes on several oc-
casions in the Wjte House and after
1906, when Hughes became Governor.
I spoke with him o severs! occa-
sions on matters at Albany 1, on one
occasion, said to Mr Bar:as that my
former race commissioner. Mr. Bel-
mont, had called upon me and stated
that he had been a strong supporter
of Mr Hughes for nomination and that
he was very much opposed to the race
track legislation, and wanted to know.
I think, my views on the rare track
legislation. I told Mr Barnes I had
told Mr. Belmont and now repeated
to Mr. Barnes that I wax "not pre-
pared to take any ground for or
