EXCERPTS OP LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION SUBMITTED

8howed Barnes As Beneficiary In Alleged Graft In State Printing —Former President Is

Grilled.

SYRACUSE, N. Y.r April 22.—During the first part of his cross examination of Theodore Roosevelt today "William Ivine, chief counsel for William Barnes, brought from the former president the statement that he knew the constitution of the state of New York provides hat no man is eligible to the office of governor unless he has been a resident of the state for five years prior to the date of his election, and that he had made an affidavit the year previous to his election that he was and for some time had been a resaaent of Washington.

Col. Roosevelt's counsel made no objection whatever to the line of questioning which resulted in these statements.

By a long series of questions, covering Roosevelt's taxes in New York and Oyster bay, and his losing campaign In 1886 for mayor of New York, Ivins led up to this question: "Do you remember making an affidavit in 1898 about your New York tax assessment?" "Yes. I made it in Washington."

Affidavit Identified.

The affidavit was identified by col. •Roosevelt and read. In it Col. Roosevelt said that since 1857 he had lived In New York and that he was then a resident of Washington.

Mr. Ivins then read section 2, article four, of the state constitution, which provides that a person is not eligible for the governshfp unless he for five years continuously had been a resident •of New York state.

Colonel Roosevelt said he first saw that part of the constitution after his return from the Spanish war. "I now call your attention," Mr. Ivins went on, "to a paper signed by Secretary of War Alger. It is a commission of lieutenant-cononel of volunteers given to you in 1S9S. In this Col. Roosevelt says he is dtescribed as a resident of Washington."

At that point a necess "was taken. There was some delay in opening court today because of a conference between attorneys and Justice Andrews in the latter's chambers. When the conference was over court "was opened. A copy of the report of the Bayne committee, whidi investigated Albany county affairs, in so fax as it related to printing, was admftted to the record. This had to do with contracts for state printing let to the Albany Journal, Mr. Barnes' paper, and other concerns, and the assignments of certain of these contracts.

The report stated that William

Barnes controlled printing in Albany, practically was owner of one company, owned one-fourth of another company, and collected tribute from the third company. The report declares that an employe of the Argus company testified before the commission that the company gave up 15 per cent in order to secure printing business.

It was stated that the Argus company bid lower than other competitors for state work but was unable to get the business because it was "outside the ring." One excerpt was: "The conspicuous beneficiary of graft, public extravagance and raiding of the municipal treasury, we find from the evidence, to be William Barnes, himself, as the owner of the majority of the stock of the Journal company. How much more than the majority of its stock he owned he refused to disclose."

Another excerpt read:

Barnes the "Dictator."

Mr. Barnes dictated where the printing goes and the Argus gives up to the Journal in order to obtain printing."

The par value of Mr. Barnes' stock in the Lyon concern was $75,000, the report stated, with the comment that Mr. Barnes would not say how he got it.

Articles which appeared in the New York magazines and newspapers about Albany politics were then admitted to the record. The terms "machine politics," "Boss Barnes" and "Boss Piatt" appeared repeatedly in these articles. "The Murphy-Barnes conspiracy," was also mentioned in the articles. After the articles were read, Col. Roosevelt resumed the stand. In reply to questions by Mr. Bowers, he said: "I received a letter from Mr. Barnes about the state printing house after I had recommended that one be established. Mr. Barnes called upon me later and said that such a printing house would be in line with socialistic propaganda which would interfere with enterprise in private business."

Col. Roosevelt then explained how he gavo out the offending statement.

Sought to Reach Voters.

"I dictated the statement and gave it to Mr. McGrath, my secretary, and told him to give it to newspaper correspondents at Oyster Bay. I desired the statement to be published in full throughout New York state. I believed it would receive some publicity outside the state. "I wanted to reach the voters. I knew of no other means except the newspapers."

The cross examination then began,
