SURE! TEDDY KNEW
WHO WAS THE BOSS!
Colonel Denies That He Helped
Run Invisible Government"
at Albany

Syracuse, n. Y. April ga series
of confidential letters taken from the
files kept by the late Thomas c. Plat.
while he was representing the State of
New York in the United States Senate,
were to-day read to the jury trying
William Barnes suit for alleged libel
against Theodore Roosevelt in the Su-
preme Court here. Some of the letters
were signed by Senator Platt while
others were signed by Col. Roosevelt.
In nearly all of them the writer's dis
cussed candidates for office in the
State government and in reply to a
question by Mr.. Barnes counsel, the
former President said without the
slightest hesitation that he consulted
freely with Senator Plat about affairs
at Albany knowing and realizing at
all times that he was the boss" of the
Republican party in this State.
One of the letters read during the
forenoon session contained a post
script which read: "All right. I'll
change the whole board of tax asses
sors.'
The letters were brought to SYRIA
cuse by the former Senator's son, and
turned over to counsel for MIR. Barnes
Although the colonel could not say
whether he had ever made it known
to the public that he was comforting
with Mr.. Platt over appointments, he
denied emphatically that such con-
ferences constituted invisible govern

My actions" the witness asserted,
were as visible as they could be-"

Christ's Second Coming
Is Explained By Pastor

Philadelphia, April 26.-Christ came
to the world a second time. He re-
turned to earth about the middle of
the eighteenth century-not in person,
but in spirit. The world has been
growing better ever since as a result
OF that visitation. This was the sub
stance of an address upon The Lord S
Second Coming: When and How?"
delivered last night by the Rev. Charles
w. Harvey in the New Jerusalem
Church. Twenty-second and Chestnut
streets.
We believe that the Lords second
coming has already been accom-
plshed,' the Rev. Mr.. Harvey said.
that II occurred in the later decades
OF the eighteenth century, not, like the
hrst coming. in person, but in spirit.
He did not come to our physical sight.
He came to our mental sight. to give
us a new idea of Himself and of our
selves. This idea already has begun
to revolutionize human life, in kind
ness, In thought of others, in the great
scientific and social development that
has occurred since then"
