Objects to Gesticulatlon.

Mr.. WINS interrupted to ask that the
witness be requested TO TESTIFY wlthoul
gesticulation, but the court ruled tha'
he could testify in his ordinary man
ner. To this ruling Mr.. WINS took an
exception.
O. (by Mr.. Bowers Snow, ! repeat
the question: Why not? A.-Because
the organization controlled both OF the
houses of the State Legislature; they
controlled it so that unless ! got pop
ular feeling tremendously aroused !
could not get affirmative legislative ac-
ton against their wishes through the
LEGISLATURE. and their control or the
Senate would have prevented my get
ting any of my nominees con1rmeu,,
unless in a similar fashion | could
arouse the public sufficiently 10 over
come that objection. The Governor
nominates: the Senate confirms; the
man is appointed by the action OF the
Governor plus the confirmation OF the
Senate.
@, (by the Court)-In other words,
YOU would have TO have the action OF
the Senate before you could nominate
and select any man. A.-betore
could nominate and select. There were
certain members of the Senate, such as
Senators Stranahan and Higgins, who
were mentioned in the correspondence,
to whom | could go directly, knowing
that there was no one behind VINO
would control them.
Q-The organization controlled the
Senate? A.-After full investigation |
became convinced il my own mind that
the organization controlled the major
sty of the Senate, and that if wished
10 discuss questions of appointment
that were apt to be an issue between
me and the Senate it was advisable for
me to 20 to where the real power was,
to talk with Mr.. Plat, and not TO talk
with men who had become convinced
in my own mind would merely carry
out the bidding of Mr. Platt; therefore,
that / must consult with him If |
wished TO get affirmative action.
Q-Why did you want to get afirma-
tive action? Why not 90 on and take a
negative action? A.-Because | was
not content to have merely a negative
~ good administration. There were a
number of positive things that wished
to achieve. a number of positive results
in legislation and a number Of positive
results in appointments; and | would
not have been content to have had a
merely negatively good result and have
marked time instead Of getting affrma-
tive action for good.

Nominated without a Pledge.

n pv Mr. Bowers-Is It a fact that
YOU took your nomination without pt
| ing pledged to Mr.. Platt or any organ''
! zation? A.-Absolutely so.
! MIR. Bowers, returning to the IRAN
chise tax letter, asked:
"Nr' Platt in this letter, after con,
ero+ulating YOU on the work you nau
! dono and YOUR influence in the legs

"To NV act in backing other fran

| O-As | understand it, that bill was
introduced in the Legislature by gen
tleman named Ford? A.-Ford.
Odd YOU send any messages on
tho suh1ct of that bill. Al did.
Odd you have conversation with
Mr. Platt on the subject of that Dill!
Al did.
go that the bill was in your
hands as n thirty day bill at the time
of YOUR discussion with Senator Platt
with regard to its proprlety! Al
had had discussions about 1t PRIOR TO
that.
O.-As a matter of fact. you had up
to that time been in favor of the Ford
bill as it had come to you, and Senator
Platt had been opposed to the Ford
bill as it had come to you? Isn't that
right? A.No, sir. Not at all. | had
been in favor of bill to tax fran
chises. But had agreed with Mr.:
Platt that this particular method OF
taxation outlined in the Ford bill,
which was taxation by the local county
officers. was not as wise as having
tax by the state officers. But the main
point was, | wished franchise tax
bill, and Mr.. Plat and the other or
ganization leaders who reflected his
wishes were against having a franchise
tax bill; and said that would rather
take the franchise tax bill with what
| regarded as the undesirable feature
of local taxation than have no bill.
Plat Against Franchise Tax.
Q.-Will you tell me the substance
of those conversations? An sub
stance, the conversation was, on Mr..
Platt's part, objection to the principle
of taxing the franchises of these big
corporations, and, on my part, advo-
cacy of the principle Of taxing these
franchises. There was also CONVERSE
ton in substance to the effect that the
taxation should be by central body,
as to which | agreed with Senator
Platt He said that no legislation
should be passed. | said preferred a
different type of bill from the Ford
bill, yet should accept that if that
was the only franchise legislation that
could get; that | wished franchise
tax legislation and that if could not
get exactly what wanted ! would take
the Ford bill, although | preferred TO
have a bill that would make the taxa
ton by state and not by local bodies.
Q.-At the time you took Office az
Chief Executive of this state were pub
lie corporations taxed upon their rights
under their charters, whether special
or general, to do business in this state
A. Public corporations Of this kind
were not taxed.

ADMITS CALLING
BARNES MENACE"
Roosevelt Also COnfeSses Other
Uncomplimentary Remarks
on Him and Murphy.

From stan Correspondent OF The Tribunel
Syracuse, April 2S.-When Colonel
! Roosevelt went back TO the stand this
morning for his continued cross-ex-
animation by William WINS, he was
confronted with copies of speeches he
had made last fall when supporting
the Progressive state ticket. He ac-
knowledged that in them he had called
William Barnes menace" had said
that Barnes and Murphy ought to be
in the same party if they would only
state their principles and he would
quote principles" had uttered
several other uncomplimentary remarks
about the defendant.
Some of the quoted language did not
exactly strike the Colonel as right, ana
he kept taking notes with silver
Mcneil on the side of the justices
bench, with the idea of making correc-
tions later.
These things show a deliberate
state of mind" explained Mr.. WINS,
when objection was made TO this line
of accommodation. They show
that he repeated his libellous utter
ances after TINS SUIT was brought
when il was his duty TO discover
whether what he had said originally
was true"
Mr.. WINS wanted to show that while
President the Colonel signed bill Civ
inc the Chief Executive an expense
allowance of $4,000, but the justice
ruled it out. II was with the idea OF
indicating, Mr. WINS argued, that the
President had in effect tried to get
raise in his salary, which was against
the Constitution.
