Monday Motions by
Barnes Counsel Are
Denied

Syracuse, N. Y, May 10.-Four out
of five motions to strike from the rec
ord parts of testimony offered in be-
half of Theodore Roosevelt were de-
MED in the supreme court. The mo-
tons were made by counsel for Will
lam Barnes, who is suing Col. Roose-
welt for $4,000 damages for alleged
libel. after the defence had rested it's
case.
Aenew's Testimony
The testimony which was stricken
from the record was that part by
former state Senator George B. Az
new, which had to do with the cleo
ton of lothian P. Aids, as president
pro tenn of the State Senate. Mr.. Ag-
new swore that a combination existed
between the Republican and Demo-
cratic machine to elect Mr.. Aids. The
court ruled that there was nothing to
show that Mr. Barnes was concerned
in the alleged combination.
Justice Andrews denied a motion to
strike from the record the testimony
of Harvey d. Human and Franklin D.
Roosevelt, concerning an alleged com
bination between Charles F. Murphy
Of Tammany Hall and Mr. Barnes, by
which Mr.. Mr.. Barnes is said to have
agreed to allow Mr. Murphy to have
free hand' in the election in 1911 OF
a United States senator. Justice An
drews remarked that he considered
such a combination improper.

STOCK EXCHANGE
INVESTIGATE The
RUM0R OF HARM
TO PRES. WILSON

New York, May 0.-The governing
committee and members of the New
York Stock Exchange started an in
vestigation today to determine the
source of persistent rumor that
President Wilson had met with harm.
The false report caused violent
selling movement which resulted in
one of the most severe declines in
prices within several days. The de-
cline lasted until an official denial
Of the rumor was received from
Washington shortly after one o'clock.
According to the governors Of the
stock exchange, the rumor, so far as
they could learn, had it's origin in
Pittsburgh. Some Of the officials
were inclined to believe that it had
been deliberately circulated to cause
a decline in stocks.

Suit Against U. S.

Counsel for the officials claimed that
the suit is in effect against the Unit
ed States which may not be sued in
equity without it's consent; that the
plaintiff has a plain and adequate rem
edy at law, and that no cause Of ac-
ton is stated to give jurisdiction to a
court Of equity.
The point is also made that the suit
is prematurely brought in that ap-
prevail has not been refused by the
treasury officials Of the Riggs bank
as depository for other national
bankA
The motions marked the first step
the government has formally taken
to defend its officers against the suit.
Tomorrow or Wednesday counsel will
present to the court af1idavits and ex-
hibits designed to justify the course
taken by the officials in instances
which formed the basis Of the bank 8
charge and it's petition for injunctions.
Wednesday the case is scheduled to
como up in open court.

Admiralty Warnings

IL was also disclosed today by Capt.
Turner and by Winston Spencer
1hurchill, first lord of the admiralty
Il statement in the House Of Com
mons the captain had received wire
-ess advices from the admiralty in
regard to the presence of submarines
on the liners course. Capt Turner
in his testimony said he had followed
this advice ito the best of my ability"
Advices Secret
The character Of the advices ten
dered by the admiralty was not d.
Vulged and will not be until Lord
Mersey opens his inquiry into the loss
of the ship.
Meantime the cause for the heavy
loss of life. the absence Of any naval
escort for the threatened vessel and
the suddenness with which she sank
aHord room for much speculation.
capt. Turner, in declaring that one
torpedo did all the damage said the
second explosion which the passengers
heard was an internal one and that
the engines having been put out of
commission, it was impossible to stop
the Lusitania and permit Of her boats
being lowered properly. This idea Of
an internal explosion is supported ~
naval experts who point out that II
the torpedo had exploded on contact.
the steamer would have only been dis
abled or had had one or two of her
compartments flooded. It is thought
they say. that II the torpedo pene-
trated her hull and the charge of APO
pounds Of explosive was detonated. il
would create an effect similar to the
explosion of a magazine within a shin.
There is little wonder, therefore, they
say, that the Lusitania sank SO rap
idly or so many passengers were kill
eddy the fumes Of the explosive.
Lack Destroyers
On the question Of why no naval es-
cort accompanied the Lusitania, Mr..
Churchill explained in the House of
Commons. that the policy OF the admi-
rally is that merchantmen must look
after themselves. This policy was due
to the fact that the admiralty had not
sufficient destroyers to escort all mer-
chant ships, they being required to
guard the continuous stream Of trans
ports from England to France, and to

the President carried forward the idea
Of the welding Of foreign blood in the
makeup of America by pointing out
the true goal of right American citi-
zenship to be loyalty, not to the coun-
try of ones birth, but to the land Of
ones adoption.
"Be Americans"
While you bring" he said, all
countries with you, you come with a
purpose Of leaving all other countries
behind you-bringing what is best Of
their spirit, but not looking over your
shoulder or seeking to perpetuate
what you leave in them. I would not
certainly be one who would suggest
that a man cease to love the place Of
his origin. 1t is one thing to love the
place where you were born and an
other thing to dedicate yourself to the
place where you go. You can't be an
American, if you think Of yourself in
groups. America does not consist Of
groups. A man who considers him.
self as belonging to a national group
is not yet an American.
my advice to you is to think first
not only of America, but to think
first Of humanity, and you do not love
humanity II you seek to divide hui
manity in jealousy"

The President was constantly in
terrupted by outbursts Of applause.
He spoke clearly and SO quiet was his
