ton had contracted for 65 bushels Of
wheat from Bond at 90 cents per
bushel 1t was to be used as seed.
When delivery time came, the wheat

that it was necessary for him to buy
other wheat, to make up the neces
sary 200 bushels, paying 81 bushel.
He sued for the difference.
The case was given to the jury last
night and their verdict rendered this
morning, refused to allow Wolverton

PROJECT POPULAR
BUT FEW PUT UP
Call for Contributions Brings a FLYER
from Col. Tom Dwyer and
Two Dollars from Un-
named Donors

You fully intended to dig up a little
dough- for the boulevard project but
you lust clean plum" forgot about it,
didn't you? That's exactly the way it
was, of course. So far as reports go,
the proposition meets general ap-
proval. IT'S fine thing" is about
the way everybody talks about it,
In response to the appeal for yolun-
teer contributions made by the Ex-
press yesterday, exactly seven dollars
came into the exchequer of the Busi-
ness Women's club and Of this five
dollars came from one man, Col. Tom
Dwyer, who was the first to come
across. The other two dollars were
contributed by unnamed friends of the
boulevard.
You might just as well get accus-
toned to calling it college Boulevard,
for that is going to be the name of it,
by common consent. If you still feel
like you want to have the honor of
helping to put over the proposition,
just call up DR.. Bledsoe and tell her
that you have some money to put into
it. Money is needed to buy trees and
pay for other expenses that will have
to be incurred.

it crumbled down.

1t out. Many houses all around had
been blown to pieces. Shells had
fallen on the porch, the roof and
through the windows; the interior
was a wreck but the spire still stood.
FINALLY one day shell fell on the
roof, then another on a house nearby
and the last one right on the spire it.
SELF First a cloud of yellow black
smoke and then-before the sound--
the old spire gracefully swung over
and fell into the church yard. The
bombardment ceased.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 21-In the
Barnes libel case this morning the at
torneys conferred with the judge re-
garding whether Roosevelt will be
permitted to tell where he got the in
formation on which he based his
charge that there was an alliance be-
tween Democratic and Republican pol
iticians in New York It is likely that
the examination Of witnesses will con.
tinue throughout the day.
After hearing the attorneys Justice
Andrews ruled that Roosevelt could
not testify in regard to matters that
were not specifically raised in justifi-
cation of the libel charge but must
confine his testimony to matters con
tanned in his answer to the charge
This ruling is considered to be a
serious reverse to the defense as it
limits to large extent the testimony
concerning the bipartisan bossism
charges that were made by Roosevelt.
The Judge said Roosevelt might tes-
tify as to his state of mind and that
he had no malice against Barnes bat
not about Independent facts outside of
the pleadings in the case.
Roosevelt took the stand today and
began his testimony after the court
had ruled on the point raised by the
lawyers. After answering the usual
preliminary questions he told about
the opposition of Barnes to the candi-
dacy Of Gov Hughes.

Syracuse, n. Y, April 21.-In his
testimony given in the libel trial here
today, Col. Roosevelt portrayed Barnes
as political boss dominant. He told
how Barnes inherited the Republican
machine from Senator Plat.
In the course of his testimony the
colonel recited conversations and pro-
duced letters picturing Barnes as an
omnipotent boss He claimed that
Barnes worked with Tammany to de-
feat legislation at Albany and review
ed the fight made by the boss against
the nomination of Hughes.
Roosevelt ssid Barnes announced
that he had control of the organization
and would do as he pleased. One of
his letters said it was absurd to try
to get rid of bosses while there was a
party organization. The witness said
state senators had told him that
Barnes worked with Tammany to de-
feat the rack track bill.
