brought out by the state. Beech Berry
testified that On the day Of the killing

Roy started to crawl toward the
house. They fired q couple Of shots at
him. Both went through the rim OF
his hat, He dropped as If dead
Berry declared that Dewey and his
men had commenced firing on them
without warning and without a word
having been spoken between them
Beech Berry told OF going with Roy
and BuFcnard on the fatal day 10 the
home Of Alpheus Berry. where the
shooting took place.
Dewey Began Firing.
My father and AIpheus." said he,
were near the water tank when we
arrived, talking to three men We
rode into the yard and tied our horses,
then started toward my father and Al
pheus. We had taken only & few steps
when ChaUncey Dewey rose from be-
hind a sod wall and shot Roy, who
was. in the lead. I was next and
BUrchard followed. AS we started
toward the yard Mcbride jumped be-
hind the tank and shot Burchard Ber-
ry. while Wilson shot at me from be-
hind the wall and missed. The three
shots were not over a second apart,
I ran behind the barn, with all three
shooting at the barn. I then ran into
the house. One shot struck me in the
leg"
Did any Of you draw revolver
mo. After 1 got to the barn I drew
my revolver, and as I ran toward the
house 1 fred I did not fire at anyone
in particular. but just in the direction
Of the three"

MED that he had been in prison in Colo
RADIO. He admitted that there had been

Deweys dating back to 1901 and that
all Of the Berrys owned rifles and re-
volvers. Court adjourned till Monday
morning with Beech Berry still on the
stand being cr0ss-examined.

Odell and Roosevelt.

The relations of Gov. Odell, of New York
and President Roosevelt are severely strained.
Whether it will extend to the selection of del
egates to the Republican National Conven-
ton is not probable, for Platt says he intends
to control the delegation and Odell could
scarcely prevail against Platt and his machine.
Several weeks ago 0dell planned a visit to
the President, presumably to talk over mat
tiers political in New York with reference 20
Mr.. Roosevelt's candidacy to succeed himself.
Gov Odell iutimated that she interview was
of the Presidents seeking. Mr.. Roosevelt
intimated that he had not invited the Cover
nor 10 visit him. The Governor then said he
would stay at home and manage the affairs of
the State of New York in his own way.
Coming Immediately after, was Secretary
Bristow's report on the postal scandals, pre-
pared at the request of the President, and in
tended to show that the alleged crookedneSs
of Beavers and Machen was partly owing to
the acts and interference of certain Congress
men, who we're named. The main object Of
the report was to show that congressman
were to blame for all the scandals Of the past
few years and not the officials ofthe Postofice
Department.
Gov. Odell's name appeared in the report
as aiding in having the salary of postmaster
increased, though he was not Congressman
and because of this he waxed wroth, and
blamed the President for letting his name stay
in the report He did write TO the Postothce
Department to have the salary of a postmaster
increased, and the increase was allowed, but
he did not think it friendly for President
Roosevelt to allow his name to be inserted IN
the Bristow report, and he did not hesitate to
emphatically avow it.
A committee of the House of Represents
tives are engaged in making an investigation,
with the probability that the repoEt will show
that the Postoffice Department has been grant
ing favors to Congressman in exchange for
voting appropriations to the Department or
certain officials therein. The report of the
committee will be awaited with interest.

The Good Roads Proposition


Although the proposition to draw some mil

servaiive who declares that If We begin this

ODBLL IS INDIGNANT.
Enraged at Roosevelt for Course In
Postal Report.

ALBANY, n. Y, March 12-Gov Odell has
severed political relations with Washington.
and is not likely to go there unless upon an
invitation so urgent as to amount to com
mand" 1t is not certain that he would heed
even such a summons as that.
The Governor is deeply stirred by the men
ton of his name in connection with the postal
scandals He was spoken of in the report
made to the House of Representatives Tues
day as having written letter requesting the
restoration of an allowance that had been
taken away from a postmaster in his own
county of Orange as improper The allow
ance was restored.
When the letter was written the Governor
was not member of the House, but had left
Washington to become chairman of the Re
publican State Committee. He holds that he
had a perfect right to send the request. and he
takes the ground that the mention of his name
was an outrage.
1t is unfortunate, say the friends of the Gov
ernor. that the affair should have happened at
a time when the Governors mind had already
been inhamed by the denial from Washington
of the statement that he had been invited there
for conference. For some reason that has
not vet been explained the statement from the
White House that the Governor had invited
himself to Washington, instead of having been
invited by the President, cut him to the quick
and caused him not only to abandon his trip,
but TO declare that he was able to manage the
affairs of the State without assistance, and
that it would probably be a long time before
be would 60 to Washington again
Many of the leaders who surround the Gov
ernor and who have given him material assist
ance in bis fight for the control of the State
are avowed enemies of the denomination Of
Mr. Roosevelt They make no coucealment
Of their belief that he cannot carry the State.
There is no hint, however. that the Repub-
iican State Convention will hesitate to fulfill
its promise TO pledge the vote Of tie State in
the National Convention to Mr.. Roosevelt.
OdelrS friends predict that there will be
no opposition to his election to the chairman
ship OF the Republican State Committee. With
p ofthe g members ofthe committee pledged
To him, the other members they insist. vii
see the wisdom of LAYING down their arms.
Senator Patt arrived in New York from
Washington late yesterday, determined, It Is
said. to assert himself again As 5he Republican
leader Of New York in behalf Of his friends
and to tell Governor Odell that he must stop
his warfare upon them.

Some Legislative Notes.

There was little sentiment in Maryland for
the passage of the Jim Crow bills. They
are likely to do more harm than good and to
lead to conflicts between white and colered
people, unless special cars are provided for
each race.
As to pensioning judges who have reached
the age limit of seventy years, there is no sen
timent except among some of the legal frater-
nifty. The bill should have been entitled IAN
act to encourage extravaganza, forjudges can
spend their entire salaries and then be sure
of an excellent living on $4,000 month
thereafter. If the bill becomes law, it will
not be long before the pensioning OF the
widows ofjudges will follow.
There is strong demand for the passage
of the Haman oyster and good road bills and
for constitutional amendment limiting negro
suffrage. We would prefer the Bryan bill,
but the Poe bill is sufficient to fulfil Demo
cratic promises.
