ASPHALT GO. ANSWERS
IN BARBER LIBEL SUIT
Charges Made Against Trust Promoter
Backed up by Evidence of Conspiracy
in Which Castro Played a Part.

New York, Nov. 90 Disclosures
which will clear up many obscure as
poets of the Venezuela asphalt contro-
versy are promised at the approaching
trial OF AMI L. Barber's suit for libel
against the General Asphalt Company.
Evidence already taken before a ref
cree shows that Barber began to offer
Bermudezr asphalt for sale as soon as
President Castro placed a receiver in
control Of the property.
Barber is suing in the New York Su-
preme Court for 100000 damages.
claiming that he has been injured to
that extent by charge made in the last
annual report of the company.
The company's answer just filed is a
25,0O0-word history of the asphalt in
dustry. going back to the grant of Ber-
mudez Lake by President Castro in
1888. and setting forth in detail the al
legged conspiracy by which il claims to
have been defrauded of its property by
Barber acting in conjunction with
President Castro and A II. Garner. In
addition to this the president of the
company stated in his report that Bar
Der had failed to account for over a
half million dollars involved in the or
ganization of the new Trinidad Lake
Asphalt Company. All these charges
are now backed up by voluminous doc
umentary evidence.
AS to the charge that Barber engi-
neered the deal by which Bermudez
Lake was thrown into the hands of
receiver by Castro, as the result of
deal under which the president. the
receiver" and Barber were to share
the profits of the sale of asphalt from
the Venezuelan lake, Mr. Barber is
now confronted by the evidence just

given before a referee in New York by
William Young Kinleyside, one of his
business associates.
Kinleyside states that he was invited
To go into the deal as the selling agent
for BermudeZ asphalt in England. He
quotes Barber as saying that most of
the judges who have been unfavorable
Ito the sequestration of the asphalt
lake, have been removed" One OF
Barbers letters was produced by Kin
leyside in which the writer said that
there was nothing to do but wait pa
tiently for the mills of the courts to
grind out the grist which we are all
anxious to get" Another letter intro
duced states that until Mr.. Garner has
obtained his permanent foothold, we
are only acting tentatively" Inciden-
tally the witness stated that he had
been offered $40 week for eighteen
months not to give his testimony in
the case.

THE PASSING OF GAMBLING.

The gambling question has now been
put in a way to be quickly disposed of.
The expression yesterday was decisive
after a complete discussion Of the mat
ter from a financial point of view. the
only one from wrich It could be con-
sidered. and after opportunity had
been given by the council to get out
a full vote. II remains now only fol
the council to carry the instructions
given it yesterday into effect. This il
has already promised to do and no
doubt it will be done to the satisfac-
ton of the majority.
Gambling for several years has been
a more or less direct issue in every
city campaign and has not only dis
turbed party lines, but what was more
10 be regretted frequently interferrei
with public plans.
That is all over now and henceforth
the gambling vote and the anti-gam-
bling vote need not be reckoned with.
If no other good purpose had been
served by yesterdays election. that
alone would have been worth the
trouble of holding it.
The passing of gambling was inevi-
table. The atmosphere had changed so
as to make its existence no longer pos
sible. In every frontier town and es
pecially mining towns, gambling
gains an early foothold and becomes Il
recognized institution. 1t usually
passes away from such towns with the
moving of the frontier
The abolition of gambling in any
place is not usually the result of
great moral movement but rather of
change of conditions in which the in
stitution comes to be recognized as
contrary to public policy. Crusades
against gambling are generally inau-
gurated and headed by those who con-
slider only the moral aspect of it bu,
when the time comes they are rein
forced by those who recognize in their
movement a good public enterprise.

II is very evident that President
Gompers. OF the American Federation
Of Labor. is not disposed to accept his
failure to defeat any of the candidates
on his congressional blacklist. as put
ting either him or organized labor out
Of politics. He declares that organized
labor Is in the business to stay and that
from now on will be a more potent
factor than ever before. One fact h3s
been made evident. and that is, organ
lied labor has not yet reached the stage
when i will politically bow down TO
one man. and accept his dictum as to
what laws they must favor or what
oppose. Organized labor is producing
a very large crop of men who think for
themselves. and this win make it more
difficult for Mr.. Gompers or any other
man to sway the labor element as he
pleases.

while therefore. we have the house
OF representatives. we have it in con-
nection with results in other respects
that should advise us we have reached
the half way point between 1904 and
1908. with only a slight margin Of ad-
vantage. This situation should not dis
courage republicans. but it will encour-
age democrats. They are already
claiming they have made a wonderful
gain. and so they have. as compared
with the results of 1904. and II is easy
for them to think that there is a trend
of public sentiment in their favor
Without stopping to locate the blame
for 1t. the truth is that the democrats
the country over have more confidence
that the radical political ideas of Bryan
and Hearst are not unreasonable and
indefensible than they have ever before
had since these men came into public
life at any national election. The effect
of this is not only to encourage and
sOlidify the great majority Of the demo-
Gratis. but also to attract away from
US a good many of our followers. For
tunately. we have time enough before
the presidential election to correct all
this by pointing out the radical differ
ence between the republican policies.
which involve nothing more than rea-
sonable regulation. and the crazy cru
SADIE which embraces government own
ership and almost everything else that
is bad in character and destructive in
purpose"
These remarks by so distinguished a
leader of the party will cause the re-
publicans to take thought of the future.
and may have very decided
influence in shaping the legislation dur
ing the coming short session. Senator
Foraker does not believe the democra-
tic success will tend to the nomination
of Mr.. Bryan. but rather to eliminate
him. as well as Mr.. Hearst He thinks
the people have gone as far as they
will go in the direction of radicalism,
and that the pendulum will swing the
other way by 1908. During the week a
number of democratic leaders from va
rious states have been in the city. and
the changed expressions i'm regard to
the probable candidate two years hence
is very noticeable Two months ago
every democrat who visited Washing
ton was loud in his assurances that no
other name would be considered ex-
cept that Of the peerless leader" but
now suggestion to that effect is met
by a shake of the head and a muttered
'tt may be so" Many are free i'm their
predictions that the candidate will be
a new man. but none can name the
man.

1t looks as if the Department Of the
Interior was in line for a complete
Overhauling Rumors have been rife
for some time that the President was
convinced a very decided change in the
business methods in that department
was necessary. and it has long been
known that the Keep Commission
found the methods not only antiquated
but in many cases wholly inadequate
to the prompt and efficient transaction
of the government business. and so re-
ported to the President. EspecialIy
was this true in the case of the General
Land Office. and the Commission in
sisted in its report that a complete
change in business should be promptly
made. This may or may not have been
the cause of the sudden determination
Of Secretary Hitchcock to resign. for
neither the Secretary nor the President
will say anything about II, but il has
become known that the resignation of
Mr.. Richards, commissioner of the
land office, was asked for His high
personnel regard for Mr.. Garfield was
not the only thing that operated on
the mind of the president when he Sc
lected the young Ohioan as the COM

Mr.. Garfield has established a repu-
tation for activity and energy and
weI-balanced judgment, and his Sc
lection may be looked upon as being
in the interest Of furthering the pres
idents desire to introduce new meth
DDS in that department and secure
more speedy work
1t has been announced that Mr.. Gar
field sexpects to completely overhaul
the department at the very earliest
practical moment. To that end he is
thoroughly studying the report and rec
concentrations Of the Keep Commission.
The main trouble seems to have been
in the land office. although there has
been some friction and some complaint
about the patent bureau. Since Mr..
Warner took hold of the Pension Blu
reau complaints against the methods
there have entirely ceased. For many
years that bureau was a scene of con-

Senator Foraker has always been re-
garded as being optimistic in his ten
denotes, and while he tries to take a
roseate view of the results of the re-
cent elections it is apparent he does
not regard the result as an unmixed
republican triumph. He agrees with
others that the republican majority In
the house is as large as it ought to be.
believing that too big a majority is not
conducive TO the securing of the best
legislation. While he has not avowed
himself a candidate for the presiden-
tial succession it is well known he will
not be averse to accepting that burden.
so, anything he may say as to the out
look in 1908 will be accepted as the
candid opinion of one who is far more
than ordinarily well informed. and who
has a reputation for astuteness in poll
tics. As a whole he takes about the
same view of the situation as was given

suit was frst known AS to the future
