British Legislators Follow Footsteps Of
Royalty in Prohibiting Drink.
London. April 21.-In order that all
classes be placed on the same footing
with regard to drinking facilities, the
house of commons yesterday had before
tt self denying ordinance banishing
alcoholic drinks from the house during
the continuance Of the war. In moving
this resolution Thomas Edward Wing.
liberal member for Durham. explained
he did not desire to suggest a high
state of intemperance among the legis-
lators, but he did want rich <and
poor, peer and peasant, to be treated
alike.
Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the op-
position in the house, declared the pro-
posal would not be Of the smallest
value unless the members intended
themselves to follow the example of
King George in their own homes.
On the suggestion of Home Secretary
McKenna the debate was adjourned un-
til such time as the full proposals of the
government on the question of temper
ance be placed before the house.

Chicago, April 21.--The forty one
western railroads seeking an advance
in freight rates will not be required to
answer the thirty-e eight interrogatives
relative TO their financial affairs pro-
pounded recently by Clifford Thorne.
chairman Of the state railway commit
tees. Instead of the Thorne questions
the interstate commerce commission
will formulate new set of questions
and submit them to The railroads III

Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Daniels said
"The proposed questions can not be
submitted and answered intelligently
in this case. The commission will
formulate a new set of questions which
will be submitted to the carriers with
a view to collecting information that
will be Of interest to the commission
and the parties to this hearing.
Among the Thorne questions were
those as to amounts expended over a
period of years and the sums charged
to operating expenses and to maia-
tainance funds.
The railroads objected to the que:-
tions on the ground that they called
for a mass of figures which were un-
necessary and would, they claimed, en-
cumber the record with useless matter.

come measures.
Colonel Pounds Points Homo.
You can imagine how Colonel Roose-
velt sprang at his opportunity. How
he sometimes outsped the guidance Of
counsel and put questions himself to
opposing counsel and to the justice,
how he frowned and fldgeted when
checked by objection or the Justices
uplifted hand. 3,
How he leaned towards the jury and
seemed to take them into his conf
dence: how he dwelt upon Barnes
practical point Of view and his own
championship of the high moralities;
how his talent for the spoken word
fairly scared; how, In short he ap-
reared to enjoy the whole exciting bus
mess.
And then there was the contrast,
William Barnes only a few feet away,
angry to the heart If ever a man was;
sometimes shaking his head In seeming
amazement at the colonePs fiat state
ments: sometimes smiling sarcastical-
ly: sometimes lifting heavy eyebrows
in utter scorn.
You felt this afternoon as IL dyna-
mite was scattered knee deep all over
the court room and might blow things
to bits at any second.
Main Points in Testimony.
The main points of Colonel Roose-
velt's testimony, all offered as 1ustinca-
tion for the alleged libel, for Wnlch MT
Barnes claims $4,000, were substanti-
ally as follows:
That at numerous times while he was
Ton N
/. 1901, he had conversations with Mr.
Barnes, who was then Boss Platts
lieutenant, concerning measures he was
anxious to have put thru the legisla-
ture.
That as governor, he. desired to do
things which Senator Platt objected TO.
That Mr.. Barnes had told him that
Senator .Fiatt objected to the franchise
fax bills because certain business me-,
Of great power in New York would be
unfayorably affected. and that Mr..
Barnes said Senator Platt was right.
NJ Barnes had told him that these
financial powers had contributed to
hoth parties, among the heaviest being
robert Pruyn and Anthony N. Brady.
vl,o were connected with electric power
companies.
That Mr.. Barnes had told h that
Anthony N. Brady contributed not as
a matter Of politics but as a matter of
business, and it was necessary to keep
the republican party the conservative
marty or contributions would go to the
democratic party.
No Time For "Big Fellows"
That he had told Mr.. Barnes that
anv corporation or individuals expect
Ing protection as a regard for their
contributions would get left" while he
was governor.
That Speaker Nixon. of the assembly.
had torn up special message he sent
to the legislature on the first franchise
tax bill and that Barnes had told him
(Roosevelt) that he was foolish to ex-
nect the speaker and Mr.. Aids Gotham
p arbitrarily retired in later years) to
act without orders from the orsanixa-
ton.
That Mr.. Barnes in two or three con-
yersations justified the practice Of men
contributing to an opposition party or
to both parties.
That Mr.. Barnes. coming from Sena-
tor Platt, had told him that Lou Payn
ourft not to be displaced ae .nres.ii-
tendent Of insurance because OF Payn,s
relations with certain big financial men.
