Barnes sat upon the witness stand in the

committee told about his interest in the
anti-race track and direct primaries leg

tract for public printing; about what he
considered a Legitimate piece of patron

a score Of other things.
Roosevelt Used Phone
In answer to one question regarding
who was the Republican leader in this
state from 1906 to 1910 Mr. Barnes assert
ed that while Col. Roosevelt did not act

he used the telephone" In 1908 the de-

founder of the Albany printing concern
which bears his name, but in reality was
a debt owed to him by Mr.. Lyon for a

said that orders for printing given out
by the clerk of the Assembly were con-
