RENEws ATTACK ON BARNES.
Roosevelt Prepares to Defend Libel Suit
Urges Lawyer to Hasten Trial.

OYSTER BAY. \. Y, July .. -
Theodore Roosevelt, after renewing
his attack on William Barnes. Republi-
can state chairman, began yesterday
the work of preparing his legal defense
of the $4,000 libel suit begun against
him by Mr.. Barnes as Il result of the
colonel : recent statement alluding to
the chairman and Charles F. Murphy.
leader Of Tammany hall In that state
ment the former president attacked the
so-called boss rule in state politics and
favored the candidacy of former State
Senator Harvey ID. Hinman for gov
ernor.
Col. Roosevelt has engaged to de
fend him, the New York law firm, Bow
ers & Sands, which acted for him in
the trial last year of his libel suit
against the Michigan publisher. who
charged him with inebriety. William H
Van Benschoten q member of the firm
went to Oyster Bay from New York and
spent several hours in consultation
with Col. Roosevelt, the two beginning
he work of outlining the defense. Col
Roosevelt urged Mr.. Van Benschoten
to expedite the case, in the hope that
! it might come to trial this summer.
Col. Roosevelt said he would not be
deferred from attacking Mr.. Barnes by
the suit, but on the contrary would as
sail him the harder. He expressed the
| hope that he would have the opportuni
| ty to take the stand against Mr.. Barnes
| before election. To make clear wha
he meant the ex-President dictated
this statement:
q regard the action of Mr.. Barne
as the most striking proof that coult
| be given that the bosses recognize II
me personally the one enemy that th
type of machine government for whicl
they stand has to fear. and furthermor
recognize that the most dangerou
menace to the present system of bi
partisan politics in this state is con
tanned in the movement to elect Nh
Hinman as governor on a non-partisa
cket, which | hope will contain tn
names of such anti-mach hine Democrat
as Mr.. Hennessey as well as Progres
sives and anti machine Republicans
shall continue with increased aggre'
siveness to attack Messrs Barnes an
Murphy and the kind of machine pol
ties which they typify, which | hol
must be eliminated from the state.
