1915. ASK SENATOR BROWN IF T. R. WAS "BOSS" Republican Leader Is Not Allowed to Answer This Question on Stand. HAD TALKS WITH BARNES.

Witnesses Testify to Alleged Agreement Barnes Had With Murphy About U. S. Senator. Syracuse, N. May 12-Elon R.

Brown, Republican leader in the State Senate, swore on the witness stand in the Supreme Court here today that he considered Theodore was the leader of the party Roosevelt, from 1906 until 1910. Colonel Roosevelt was President the United States during a part of that period. Senator Brown was not allowed to answer a direct question as to whether he considered Colonel Roosevelt was "the boss" then. The Senator also swore that in 1911, when the State Senate was deadlocked over selection of a United States Senator to succeed Chauncey M. Depew, Mr.

Barnes had in substance expressed a willingness the Republican vote go to an Independent Democrat, who was unlikely to become identified with the dominant faction in Democratic party. Witnesses for Colonel Roosevelt testified to an alleged agreement that they said Mr. Barnes had with Charles F. Murphy to allow the Tammany leader have "free hand" the selection of a United States Senator. Senator Brown Testifies as to RooseR.

Brown of Watertown, Republican The first witness called was Elon velt Being State Leader. leader and temporary President of the State Senate. Witness said the late Thomas C. Platt was the leader of the Republithe Senate. Senator Brown named the can 3 party when he was first elected to Chairmen of the Republican State committees for many years past.

Witness said Colonel Roosevelt became State leader in 1906 and that he considered he actively retained the leadership until he departed from the country after he left the White House "Was the 1906 Republican Convention dominated by any person?" Senator Brown was asked. An objection by counsel for Colonel Roosevelt was sustained. you consider Colonel Roosevelt the boss of the Republican party when you say he was leader?" was the next question. Another objection was sustained. Mr.

Ivins argued that it had been testified to by Colonel Roosevelt that Mr. Barnes dominated the party for more than a dozen years, and that he wanted to show as a matter of fact that Colonel Roosevelt was actually the dominant factor for some time. During the arguments which followed, Mr. lvins remarked: seems to be a question of whose ox is gored." Justice Andrews finally ruled that testimony following the line of the questions asked the witness, were incompetent. Neither would the Court allow Senator Brown to answer questions about the election in 1906 of a presiding officer of the State Senate.

In this connection, he asked whether Colonel Roosevelt "dominated" that election. Brown Had Many Conversations With Barnes. Further arguments resulted in Senator Brown being allowed to tell of conversations with Mr. Barnes in 1911. He said: "I had a talk with Mr.

Barnes about the Senatorial election. It was in New York. No one else was present. I said to Mr. Barnes that Thomas Mott Osborne had told me he believed it would be a great patiotic duty to have the Republicans and the insurgent Democrats unite and send a good man to the United States Senate.

"Later I saw Mr. Barnes again. He telephoned to me and asked me to come to Albany, I went. I had a dozen interviews with Mr. Barnes during the next three days.

During these conversations sometimes we were alone. At other times Frank Platt, Francis Lynde Stetson and the minority leaders of both houses were present. Mr. Barnes said that conditions were ripe for the election of a Senator by having Republicans unite with independent Democrats. He wanted me to communicate with Mr.

Osborne. He did not want a man in the Senate who was or might be identified with Tammany Hall. Mr. Barnes and I talked to the minority leaders of both houses to see what the sentiment was about such a movement." OBITUARY Peter Augustus Vincent.

W. Gibson, 361 Lafayette avenue, D. R. WON'T ACCEPT ATTACK ON RIVAL Convention Refuses to Pass North Carolina Report Criticising D. A.

R. NO CONTESTS FOR OFFICES. Monument to Mark Site of Old Fort Independence in Jerome Park Is Planned. The first discordant note of the General Society Convention of the Daughters of the Revolution came today, when a report from North Carolina attacking the Daughters of the American Revolution was accepted, and then promptly expurgated of the passage referring to the opposing organization. Miss Mary Hilliard Hinton, regent for the Southern State, sent in the report, and it was read by the general secretary, Mrs.

Kent. The report, accepted, was then given out, and at that time the delegates to the convention realized that the offending statements had been allowed to stand, and the report was promptly back and the sentences taken part of ordered, the report which the D. R. finally did expurgate was as follows: "The year just closing is the most trying that this organization has ever recorded, for the D. A.

R. have made themselves most interfering, offensively disagreeable, and even insulting, concerning our work and existence." has always been the policy of the D. R. to refrain from quarreling with the other Revolutionary War organization, and when the full import of the North Carolina report was felt the women hurried to change their decision and struck out of it all reference to the D. A.

R. Several other reports were made, the one from New York on State, of which Mrs. Everett M. Raynor is regent, receiving the most encouragement from the audience. Mrs.

Raynor read her report after New Jersey had been handed in, but she positively refused to read it until the Massachusetts delegation had returned to convention hall after voting for the new managers. "Boston make a fine report," explained Mrs. Raynor, "and then leaves the hall. I want to show them that New York has just as much activity and just as much historic value as Boston has, and so I will not read my report until they come in." Mrs. Raynor told of the things New York has done during the past year, laying particular stress upon their efforts to obtain the old Dykeman house for remodelling and their work in rescuing Old Fort Independence from being demolished.

also invited the convention to meet in Manhattan next year, an invitation which will probably be accepted. It became known today that the General Society of the D. R. is preparing to present a monument as a national gift to New York City, to mark the site of Old Fort Independence in Jerome Park, and it is probable that the motion authorizing the gift will be passed later today or tomorrow.

"The events of the past few days," said Miss Burritt, "have unnerved me too much to speak clearly on But I do want to say that I believe the theory advanced by President Wilson in his Philadelphia speech is the manner in which this country should be governed. It is more courageous to brave the words of men and the slurs of other countries than to go to war. "The greatest courage of today is not the courage of fighting. It is the courage of daring to keep away from fighting.

The United States is too powerful and too great to be swayed by such petty feelings as hate and jealousy and revenge. We should be 'too proud to "I cannot help but feel the terror of the Lusitania's sinking. It was awful; yet I do not believe that re even it is.a fit excuse for this country to go into a war which will will only sap its strength and which can do it no good. Should we win, we should lose more than we could possible regain. War is not a possibility, I feel, and the Lusitania's sinking should be only a reason why we should solidify the ranks of peace, should rise above the meanness of revenge and should stand before the world, secure in our own courage."

Craven Recommends Rehearing on Cumberland St. Stop for Myrtle Ave. Line. READY FOR THIRD-TRACKING. B.

R. T. Submits Form of Contract for Work on Upper Myrtle Avenue. Hearing May 19. Alfred Craven, chief engineer of the Public Service Commission, has recommended to the Commission a reopening of the case of the Cumberland street elevated station, on the Myrtle avenue line of the B.

R. T. Some time ago the Commission ordered the construction of a station at this point and the company to obey the order. Mandamus proceedings were then ordered against the company. Since that time the company has filed with the Commission plans for the third tracking of the Myrtle avenue line, which show such a relocation of stations as will, it is claimed, make the construction of a new station at Cumberland street unnecessary.

Instead of constructing a new station at Cumberland street the company has submitted plans showing different station locations. The chief engineer approves the plan as reasonable and upon that basis makes his recommendation. Incidentally, it developed today that the B. R. T.

is nearly ready to begin work on the third-tracking of the Myrtle avenue between Willoughby and Wyckoff avenues. The form of contract for furnishing structural steel for this work has been submitted by the B. R. and the Commission today set next Wednesday at 11 a.m. the date for a hearing.

This contract is similar to the one for the Fulton street third-tracking work. Property owners along the Myrtle avenue line will have an opportunity at the hearing to express their approval or disapproval of the plans. The proposed contract covers 5,785 feet of elevated structure. Delivery of the steel must begin within sixty days. GUNWOMEN IN STRIKES Woods Says They Have Been Used in This City.

Washington, May 12-Gunmen and gunwomen have been used by both strikers and employers in industrial disturbances, Police Commissioner Woods of New York told the Industrial Relations Commission. The Commissioner related details an investigation of the confessions of a New York gang leader, Dopey Benny, which culminated yesterday in the return of indictments by the New York County Grand Jury. "This investigation," said Commissioner Woods, "has shown 8 large employment of gunmen by strikers, and a somewhat less employment of gunmen by employers. In the cases of employers, the gunmen are usually secured indirectly through the employment of private detectives agencies which use gunmen. We found that New York gunmen have been taken to Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Not only gunmen, but in strikes involving women workers gunwomen have been used." DENIES GIRL'S STORY Brooklyn Tailor Says He Was in Church at Time of Attack.

m12-4t LABOR MEN ATTACK "ROOT, BARNES Express Fear of Convention Under Their Control ing Reactionary Constitution. PLAN TO SUBMIT DEMANDS. Brooklyn Central Labor Union Issues Oircular--Fears Crippling of Labor's Rights. The Brooklyn Central Labor Union today issued a circular attacking Senator Root, William Barnes and 6x- Judge Morgan J. O'Brien in connection with the Constitutional Convention, and calling upon organized labor to defeat the new Constitution if the demands of labor went unrecognized at the convention.

There is grave danger, says the circular, that labor's rights and popular government will be crippled for a generation by a reactionary Constitution. from a convention "presided over by the reactionary Senator Root and manipulated by Barnes and Morgan J. O'Brien and the class-conscious. cororation lawyers of both parties." The circular says that the labor agitators have been accused if being bluffs, and that this is the year when other issues cannot conflict, to accept the challenge. The 600,000 labor voters of the State can defeat the Constitution if it is not what they want, it is said, and can then so work as to bring about a Constitution next year like the Ohio Constitution "with a well-working initiative and referendum plan." "This is the year," says the circular, "to strike back by defeating the new charter of Root, Barnes if it is not what we want." A conference has been called by the New York State Federation Labor for May 24, at Albany, consider on demands to be submitted to the Constitutional Convention.
