NEW BANK WILL BE
IN LEWITTS BLOCK
Lease Signed Today and Report viii
Soon Be Made to Bank Directors
of Decision.

+. z e 4zE 4
All mystery as to where the Com
mercial Trust company, the city's
newest banking institution is to have
it's headquarters was dispelled today
when the committee in charge signed
a lease with M. G. Levitt for his
store on Main street. The terms are
not known and until the special
committee reports back to the board
of directors the matter will not be
definitely settled.
1t is the plan at present to have
the new bank located in the store now
occupied by Mr.. LeWitt's jewelry
business, while he will move into the
adjacent store in the same block.
This is regarded as a good site for
the new bank.
At first the officials thought they
would like to get north of the rail-
road track Then they cast covetous
eyes at the store rented by Storrs,
the druggist. Unable to get that they
decided in favor of LeWitt's block.

AFFAIRS At ALBANY
Justice Andrews Decides Point
Against Col. Roosevelt.

syracuse. n. Y, May 6.-By a
ruling made in the supreme court here
today, Theodore Roosevelt was pre-
vented from giving testimony IN re-
gard to conditions in Albany JUS
tice Andrews decided against the de-
tense after counsel for the former
president had presented arguments
setting forth their contentious,
Colonel Roosevelt resumed the
stand immediately after the court
ruled, for cross examination In Will
lam Barnes suit. against him for al
lsged libel.
Not Cross Examined.
"I don't care to have anything
further to say to Colonel Roosevelt"
remarked Mr.. Wins with a smile. So,
contrary to expectations, the colonel
was not cross examined upon mis- tes-
tifnony of yesterday
Opening of court today was pre-
ceded by low-voiced conversation
between leading counsel for the liti-
sxants and Justice Andrews, Mr..
WINS leaning over the judges bench
and showing Justice Andrews a copy
Of a New York evening paper and also
CT d Syracuse print.
When the conference was over
Justice Andrews reiterated his warn
ing to the jury about reading news
papers Then counsel began their ar
gument upon the admiSsibility of
evidence concerning local affairs in
4 lbany. The jury was excused at the
request of Mr.. WINS
Bowers Quotes Laws.
Mr.. Bowers then quoted the last
question asked the colonei yesterday.
He argued that the evidence should
be admitted in mitigation of damages
lie quoted laws, cases and decisions,
and urged that the evidence should
be admitted in connection with the
QUESTION of malice.
Mr.. Bowers said IT expect Colonel
Roosevelt will testify here that Mr..
Barnes bargained with one McCabe. r
expect the defendant will testify that
Mr.. Barnes found places i'm gambling
houses for men to work.
1t is question of whether or not
ldr. Barnes is guilty of corruption. and
It matters little whether it was in the
state or the county. Might it not be
that Colonel Roosevelt told the truth
about Mr.. Barnes %
Barnes and Murphy Alike.
Mr.. Bowers then took up the state
ment complained of and discussed it
folio by folio. In regard to Charles
r. Murphy, Mr.. Bowers said Colonel
Roosevelt charged that they were
masally and politically alike.
When Mr.. Bowers concluded, JUS
Nice Andrews said: This is purely d
question regarding the mitigation of
DANA ges agree with you that the
defendant has a right to grye anxy evi
dence which made him believe that
|the charge, when he made it, was
FrEe. He can tell any facts and any
|thiaAg he read.
THE evidence given, however, must
have bearing on the precise charge
made. 1t all depends upon the pre-
Rise construction placed upon the
f5rticle. i think the whole gist of the
4 criticize bears upon state affairs
Wherefore, I think any informa ton
which defendant may have received,
confined to county and city affairs in
ALBANY, is imnaterial."
