ROOSEVELT WORDS THAT BROUGHT $50,000 SUIT FOR LIBEL FROM WILLIAM BARNES
The statement of Colonel Roosevelt that stirred the Ire of William Barnes, Jr., and caused him to bring a $50,000 llbel-sult aginst the former president was Issued July 22, 1914. "Boss" Murphy of Tammany Hall also came In for criticism. . The statement follows:
In New York state we see at Its worst the development of the system of bi-partisan, boss rule. . . In New York state the two political machines are completely dominated, the one by Mr. Barnes, the other by Mr. Murphy. The state government is rotten throughout in almost all its departments, and this is directly due to the dominance in politics of Mr. Murphy and his sub-bosses, acting through such entirely subservient agents as Mr. Dix and Mr. Glynn, and aided and abetted when necessary by Mr. Barnes and the sub-bosses of Mr. Barnes. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Barnes are exactly of the same political type. The interests of Mr. Murphy and Mr. Barnes are fundamentally identical, and when the issue between popular rights and corrupt machine ruled government is cleanly drawn, the two bosses will always be found fighting on the same Bide, openly or covertly giving one another such support as can with safety be rendered. These bosses do not hold publio office themselves. They act through the

stated that Mr. Barnes would offer no further testimony to prove the published libel. The main Barnes evidence will come In rebuttal. All preliminary arrangements were out of the way and there was no possibility of the action being dismissed or delayed. When Justice Andrews reconvened the court at 10 o'clock William F. Ivans, chief counsel for Barnes, fired the opening gun of the legal battle when he delivered the opening speech for the plaintiff. He said in part: Explains Libel Act. "This is an action for libel. The plaintiff in the case is William Barnes of Albany. The defendant is Theodore Roosevelt. The court, I believe, will Instruct you that all men are possessed of a good name and reputation, that good name and reputation are property, protected by our laws governing property rights." Ivans went on to show that both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Barnes were Just ordinary persons despite the fact that both had held prominent positions. "I want to impress on you that the public station of these two litigants does not in any way enter into the merits of the case," he said. Reviews Career of Men. Mr. Ivans reviewed the entire public record of Barnes and Roosevelt and then said: "We will show how, when Mr. Barnes found it Impossible to agree with the policies of Mr. Roosevelt, he retired in 1914 from the chairmanship of the Republican state committee. Mr. Barnes and Mr. Roosevelt are now plain ordinary citizens of the United States, and we expect you to judge this libel suit with that fact In mind." Mr. Ivans then went into the gubernatorial campaigns of 1914, of Harvey D. Hinman of the Bull Moose ticket. "I will repeat to you," said Mr. Ivans, "the statement of Mr. Roosevelt about Mr. Barnes, if it be true, this plaintiff has no standing in court. "If it be untrue then we expect you to find that Mr. Roosevelt libelled Mr. Barnes to the extent of $50,000 actual and punitive damages." Reads Alleged Libel. Mr. Ivans then read from the complaint the alleged speech by Col. Roosevelt on which the libel suit is based. During the reading Justice Andrews persued a spring catalogue. The colonel paid deep attention, nudging Mr. Bowers, his chief counsel from time to time. To correct the easily apparent Impression that the defense had "lain down," as some seemed to think when Mr. Bowers spoke yesterday, counsel for the colonel at midnight issued the following statement:
"For the purpose of correcting the erroneous Impression which seems to have been created, counsel for Col. Roosevelt says: No Intention to Quit. " 'The motion was merely intended
to be the usual one in the conduct of
such a case and in no way implied any change in the position of the defendant. The defense will proceed along its original lines. There was not and
is not now any intention to deviate
therefrom. Mr. Bowers in the latter part of his argument was simply discussing the legal situation which attached to the article as published in the absence of an Innuendo which under well recognized rules of law, requires if possible a harmless construction of the language, if such con
struction is considered by the court to
be possible. The motion having been denied the defense will now proceed to prove the allegations set up in the answer of Col. Roosevelt. The question was purely a legal one and in no way involved a change of front as to the facts.' " William H. Van Benschoten of New York opened for Col. Roosevelt. He said in part: "This is not a political suit; it is a case of man to man." In conclusion he said: "A money verdict on one side or the other is inconsequental as compared with the vital proposition which comes home to every man, woman and child as to whether good government shall exist. "On these facts and others we will ask you to render a verdict which will say to all citizens who believe In honest and clean government as against bipartisan rule, 'you shall be protected to the full extent of the law in efforts you may make to secure and maintain the kind of government guaranteed you by the constitution and by the principles on which this state and nation are founded.'

holders of public office whom they control. Yet they really form the all-powerful, invisible government which is responsible for the maladministration and corruption in the public offices of the state.
By means of elected officers, whose negatively good personal character offers little surface ground for attack, and whose fundamental weakness or insincerity and double-dealing render them fit instruments through who the masters of the machine can work, these machine masters secure the appointment to office of the evil men whose activities so deeply taint and discredit one whole government system. It is idle for a man to pretend that he is against machine politics unless he will, with straight forward good faith, openly and by game, attack Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy and pledge himself to do all he can -to eliminate them from the control of political affairs, and, in destroying them, to destroy the system which renders possible such pernicious activities as theirs.

agency of a short time bond issue. With the merger consummated, it has been estimated, the municipal plant's business will be increased about onethird, so it would take but a short time to retire the purchase bond issue. Bavls Makes Statement. "The committee appointed by the mayor, to act with the board of works, in connection with the city light plant's valuation case, has, during its deliberations, conceived the idea that the operation of the two plants as two separate units was a barrier to the best possible results," Alfred Bavis of the special committee said today. "Duplication of equipment, labor overhead expenses, 60 per cent of which would be eliminated if a merger
of the two plans was possible, made it appear necessary to the committee to give that phase of the situation serious thought. "The earnings of the two plans as shown In the reports of operating revenue, and the expenses incurred, was carefully gone into, and the results justified recommendations to council that authority be given us to exercise our option to purchase, as provided by the indeterminate permit under which the Light Heat and Power company is operating. Means High Rates. . "A further .feature that, encouraged the committee and board" of works to adopt this course was; as long as a. private utility is maintained in the city, such a utility must necessarily be a lode stone around the neck of a municipal plant, as such fixed charges must be allowed by the Public Service Commission to the private corporation as will provide for the maintainance or such departments as are unnecessary to a municipalized plant. "The committee felt, also, that the Light, Heat and Power company would be compelled, as they have intimated their intentions of doing, to make many costly extensions to their plant before it would be In a position to successfully compete with the city plant, based on a k. w. unit. Such expensive extension would be added to the capitalization of the plant and necessarily used as a basis for rate making and the possible danger thereby, of an increased rate for electricity, instead of the decrease which the city is striving to secure. Costs Are Duplicated. "I might as a means of illustrating what the duplication of costs mean, cite the audit of Light, Heat and Power company's books, for 1914, by the public service accountants on page 78, where it shows: Operating revenue $55,586,22 Operating expenses 44,584.71

Surplus ' $11,001.51
According to a very conservative estimate of Increase cost to the city, in the production of such energy, prepared by Superintendent Kleinknecht, $27,000.00 would cover every cost, which means a reduction in cost of operation of approximately $28,000.00 a year. That amount alone, set aside for five years, would equal $140,000.00 towards the purchase price of the Light, Heat and Power company's property used and useful in generating transmitting and serving electric current. "The council practically unanimously endorsed the proposed merger, one vote "not ready," being the only sign of dissension. "This is a very important matter, and deserves careful unbiased consideration. "As chairman of the special committee, I can with due propriety, say it has devoted its time and thought unselfishly in the Interest of a successful termination to the perpetual perplexities surrounding the electric situation in Richmond." Section" 100 of the public utilities commission law of 1913 provides that a municipality "may purchase the property of a public utility used and useful for the convenience of the public at any time as provided herein, paying therefore the then value of such property as determined by the commission
and according to the terms and conditions fixed by said commission, subject to all the provisions as to hearings and appeals set out In Section 105 and 106 hereof. Any such municipality is authorized to purchase such property and every such public utility is required to sell such property at the value and according to the terms and conditions determined by the commission as herein provided." ' Section 105 reads: "The commission shall proceed to set a time and place for a public bearing upon the matter of a just compensation to be paid for the taking of the property of such public utility actually used and useful for the convenience of the public, and. Of all the other terms and conditions of the purchase and sale, and shall give to the municipality and the public utility interested, not less than thirty days' notice of the time and place,

He lapsed into a. semi-unconscious state, talking irrationally about the accident. The fenders were twisted and the windshield broken on the machine.

785 PERSONS REPLY TO DURHAM'S GALL FOR HOME VISITORS The total number of visitors who responded to calls made for volunteers by priests and pastors of Richmond churches Sunday to participate in the Home Visitation campaign to be conducted from two until four o'clock next Thursday, is now 785. This is a sufficient number to complete the work but an effort is being made to secure the names of two or three hundred more. J. Shreve Durham, who has charge of the campaign spoke for a few minutes at the Honeywell meeting to be canvassed and that because of the conjested sections of the city, the visitation could be accomplished in a more satisfactory manner if several hundred more visitors took part. The visitors including men, women and children selected by the various religious leaders of the city, will meet at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday' night In the auditorium of the high school building to hear the final instructions of Mr. Durham.
