charges of assault and battery pre-
ferred by his former wife, Maud Es-
pick. Mrs. Espick was called to the
stand as a witness for the state and

even being asked. This tendency on
her part to speak too freely lost her
the case as ESpick was found not
guilty on Mrs. Espicks own testi-
mony. Judge Warner said TO her:

BARNES ACTION
AGAINST COLONEL
IN TRIAL MONDAY
Roosevelt to Attempt to Prove
His Charges That New York
Republican Boss" Is Graft
er and CorruptiOniSt.

SYRACUSE, y. Y, April 17.-To-
day the stage is set in Syracuse for
perhaps the most bitter political battle
in the history of the Empire state
On July p, 1914. Theodore Roose-
welt, former president OF the United
States. then leader of the progressive
party. saw tit TO accuse William
Barnes, jT., chairman of the New York
republican state committee, Of being
a CRATER, cOrruptiOnist and other
things like that.
Barnes. perhaps the best known
boss" in the country retaliated by
suing the former president for $780,
600 for libel.
Roosevelt answered the suit by fill
ing a bill of particulars specifying the
times and places when Barnes was
corrupt, and appended TO his answer
a statement that he never said any
thing he could not back up"
The case will go to trial on Monday
in part 1 Of the supreme court of
Onandaga county, before Justice Will
liam :. Andrews, son Of Chief Justice
Andrews of the court of appeals.
Col Roosevelt and Mr.. Barnes are
expected to arrive here tomorrow.
So far these witnesses have been
summoned: For Barnes, only such
persons as were allegedly responsible
for the publication of the alleged libel
and George NJ. Cobb. WatertOWn,
leader in the Hughes administration,
and acting lieutenant governor under
Horace White, subpenaed by both
sides.
RooseVelt's Witnesses.
Witnesses for Roosevelt are: Rollin
s. Sanford. former congressman and
former district attorney for Albany
county: Edward Cante, commissioners
II
Andrew MacFarland, Albany, active
in Hughes support in 1910 and 1911;
William II. Phylland and Luther War
ner, officers of the Lincoln league of
Albany. which was the subject of in"
Vestigation by the sacrifice in 1911;
John B. Lyon, jr., and Charles ID.
Winchester of the John 3. Lyon
Printing Co, Albany; NJ. Y. Dolan of
the Argus Printing Co.. Albany; Isaac
Wahsman, clerk OF the board of con-
tracts and supply. Albany; Harry Bo-
gus, canal department, Albany, and
Charles Gibson, wholesale druggist,
Albany.
The Roosevelt evidence is supposed
to go to show, among other things,
that the members of the Lincoln
league were henchmen of Barnes and
that when the boss failed to get them
state appointments they supported
themselves by levying tribute from
the underworld at Albany and by be-
coming dealers in the gambling re-
sorts Of the capital
Among other political linen wash
ing that the libel suit is expected TO
bring out is the alleged combination
between William Barnes and Charles
r. Murphy. boss of Tammany hall,
New York, whereby William +. Shee-
han was ditched and James A. O'Gor-
man was elected United States sena-
tor. Roosevelt will allege that Barnes
and Murphy made the deal between
them.

WHO IS TO SELECT
DIXIE HIGHWAY ROUTE?
Question Arises Following An
nounCement of Two Meet
ingS on Consecutive Days.

Is the board of commissioners
named to map out the route of the
Dixie highway going to control the
affairs of that route or is the associa-
ton itself going to direct affairs?
This appears to be the question
that has developed in the eyes Of the
local committee following news re-
ceived Saturday morning. According
to a dispatch receive from ChattanOo-
go. Gov. Galston chairman of the
board of governors has announced a
meeting of the commissioners to be
held at Louisville, KY, April 21
Right on the heels of that announce
ment comes another that Pres't e. E.
James of the Dixie Highway associa-
ton has called meeting TO be held
at Chicago, April %, the following
dav. Both meetings are TO be for the
same purpose-the mapping out OF a
route.
That the calling of the meeting by
Ralston has not the full sanction of
Pres't James of the association seems
apparent from a story printed in In
dianapoIis and reputed to have come
from Chattanooga. This letter is as
follows:
&c. Z. James, president of the Dixie
Highway association. in a statement
last night. declines TO act on the sug-
gestion of Gov. Samuel Nj. Ralston OF
Indiana. that the state directors meet
April 21, in Louisville. TO select routes
for the proposed highway from Chi
cago TO Miami, Fla.
"Mr. James declares politicians
would prevent practical accomplish
ments in the meeting and that the
association stands by its former ac-
ton in designating the route through
Tennessee
THE meeting to have been held IN
Chattanooga had been Cancelled pre-
yiously," MIR. James said.
