French warships are keeping up their
bonn bardment of the Dardanelles forts
at long range, according to official re-
ports received here, but thus far they
have made no decisive attempt to
force the straits.
The following statement was issued
at the war office today:
1.-TWO of the enemy's ironclads on
Tuesday fired at intervals more than
one hundred shells at long range
against our batteries on the Darda-

necessary to reply.
"Our troops attacked the British
camped south of Ah-Was, Persia, on
the morning of April q. Fighting
lasted until afternoon when the Brit
ish were compelled to take cover be-
hind their camp in intrenchments. Our
artillery fire was directed against
four British gunboats and two motor
boats on the Karun river and damaged
two of the ships. We lost one killed
and ten wounded"

1t was not anticipated that many
people in the city would refuse to vel

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 22.-Ex-
President Roosevelt was today sub
jected to a grilling cross-examination
in the $4,000 suit for libel brought
against him by William Barnes, the
Albany Republican leader.
AS soon as Col. Roosevelt had fin
ished his direct testimony he was
taken in hand by William M. Ivins,
chief counsel for Mr.. Barnes. The
chief gunner for the plaintiff in the
suit fired shell after shell at the de-
fendant
Attorney WINS set out first to show
that Col. Roosevelt had been a tax
dodger and that he was an unconstitu-
tional candidate when he was elected
governor Of New York state.
In reply to the volley of questions
fired at him, Col. Roosevelt said that
he lived in New York city when he
was a police commissioner but at var
ious periods he had lived on his Mon
tana ranch. He admitted that he
could not remember having paid taxes
in New York city.
Produces Affidavit.
Mr. WINS then produced an affidavit
by Col. Roosevelt and his commission
as lieutenant colonel signed by MIN
in 1898 in which he said he was a
resident Of Washington.
The object OF Mr.. WINS question
ing was to show that by his own ad-
mission, Mr.. Roosevelt was not quail
fled to run for governor. The con-
stitution provides a man must live in
the state five years before he can run
for governor or lieutenant governor.
Col. Roosevelt apparently was not dis
concerted by Mr.. Ivins' queries, but
answered all questions smilingly and
rapidly.
Loses Technical Point.
Just before court reconvened, Jus.
tice Andrews ruled that part of the
Balm report referring to graft from
evil resorts in Albany could not be
introduced. This was technically an.

CITY REJECTS
COMPROMISE ON
NORTH A CASE
Residents Offer Compromise
of Macadamizing But the
Board of Works Rules to
Try Issue.

The city has no desire to effect a
compromise of the North A street paw
ing case, now pending in circuit court,
property owners having appealed the
action taken by council in ordering
the permanent improvement OF that
street.
Today the board was notified that
the property owners would withdraw
their remonstrance and would macad-
amize the street at their own expense
providing the order for the paving OF
the thoroughfare was rescinded. This
offer was rejected unanimously by
the board.
City Willing to Test.
"The city is perfectly willing to
make test of its authority to order a
permanent street improvement and
there is not the slightest desire to en-
ter into any compromise" President
Bavis explained. IF the city has no
authority to require the making of
such improvements it wants to know
so that In the future it will not seek
to force such improvements upon 9TH
er property owners who do not have
the means Of carrying their opposition
into the courts"
Judge Fox is to name three attor.
neys, one of whom is to be selected to
sit as special Judge in the trial of the
North A street remonstrance case.
Returns Bids.
About twenty contractors were pres
ent today to submit bids for the paw
ing of North A street but their bids
were returned to them when City At
torney Bond ruled that the board had
no authority to proceed further with
this improvement until the court had
made a ruling. If the court sustains
the action Of council the board will
again advertise for bids for the paw
ing Of North A street.
City Attorney Bond also ruled today
that new proceedings for the paving
Of Sheridan street from Richmond
ave. to School street would have to be
started. Inasmuch as the board vol
UNFAIRLY rescinded the original pro
ceedings for this improvement he
thinks it will not be necessary tc
wait six months before new proceed
ings are inaugurated. Marlatt and
McMinn voted to rescind the origina
resolution, earning for themselves the
censure of Mayor Robbins. Then the
board voted to reconsider it's action
but this was held to be illegal.
Advertising for bids was ordered
for the paving of North Fifth stree,
from Main street to South A: for the
paving of Sixth street from South A
to FIT. Wayne ave-, and for the pavins
of South A street from Sixth to Six
teenth streets.
