OFFICER
LEFT LAST FALL

NORFOLK. Va. April 19.-Rear
Admiral Beatty. commandant of the
Norfolk navy yard, late tonight de-
clared that no officer or men had left
the Eitel Friedrich since the vessel
was interned here April g.
Second Officer Victor Hartzen of
the Eitel Friedrich. declared that no
officer had left the ship since she
arrived in Hampton roads. March 10.
Second Officer William krontnenn
was put ashore at Buenos Ayres last
September" said Hartzen. He said
he had relatives in Copenhagen and
wanted to 60 home. He was second
officer on the Eitel Friedrich before
the war began. We landed him and
have heard nothing from him.
"Krontnenn did not carry any re-
ports because we had done nothing
up to that time worth reporting. No
member of the crew has left the ship
since that time."

captures the provinces ranking for
vengeance would be held by large
part of the population, which, it is
asserted, does not desire to be govern
ed by the French and that therefore
the situation would be as bad as ever.
1t is reported that the great Prus-
sian land owners are trying to treat
for peace with Russia, owing to fears
that their property will suffer, but the
socialists are said to haXe expressed
the opinion that the prospects of a
durable peace are more likely through
an arrangement Of terms by Germany
with France and England and by evac-
uating Belgium.
With reference to the Dardanelles, it
is declared that the German socialists
believe that it will not be feasible to
internationalize or neutralize the
straits until United States of Europe
have been formed. They assert that
the futility of neutrality already has
been shown.
The socialists of Germany assert
that it will be impossible to starve
Germany, but express the belief that
the war cannot continue much longer
on account of the conditions of and
disastrous effects on all the countries
engaged.

SOCIALISTS OF GERMANY SEEK A
BASIS FOR CESSATION OF THE WAR

THE HAGUE, April q (via London,
1880 p. m.).-The socialists of Ger
many are making an earnest effort to
seek for basis on which the cessation
of the war can be brought about. DR..
Breitschedt, prominent member Of
the German socialist party, is now in
Holland consulting the Dutch socialist
leaders with view of getting into
with the British and
through them with the French SOC al
lists in an endeavor to bring pressure
to bear on the various governments. 1t
is declared that the German socialists
are very unanimous in favor Of peace
and against any annexation of terri
tory. 1t is said that although the So
cialist newspapers in Germany are not
permitted, under penalty of suspen-
sion, to publish criticisms of the gov
ernment and express skepticism re-
garding the results of the war, at a
meeting where only members of the
party were admitted and from which
he police were absent, free discussions
in favor of peace took place.
The general view of the socialists, it
is said, is that Alsace and Lorraine
should belong to neither France nor
Germany, but should be autonomous.
The argument is that if France re-

COLONEL ROOSEVELT DETAILS
HISTORY OF MACHINE POLITICS

SYRACUSE, n. Y, April 21,-Theo-
dOre Roosevelt spent five hours on the
witness stand in the supreme court to-
day in the telling of what he said he
believed to be the inside story of ma
chine politics and boss rule in New
York state.
BY so doing the former president
hoped to convey to the jury which is
trying the suit William Barnes brought
against him for alleged libel, the i'm.
preston that he was entirely justified
in criticising Mr.. Barnes as he did.
He swore that he had been reliably
informed that the Murphy democrats"
and the Barnes republicans" the lat
ter under the leadership of Mr..
Barnes, united on more than one occa-
sion to defeat the plans of Independent
men of both parties in the state legis.
lature. Mr.. Barnes told VIM. Loeb. Jr.,
the witness emphatically declared,
that he had an ironclad agreement
with Chas. F. Murphy of Tammany
hall, to allow the latter free hand to
select a United States senator. Mr..
Loeb was private secretary to Col
Roosevelt when he was president and
later he was collector of the port of
New York.
The witness told in great detail of
his dealings with the late Senator
Plat, the man he had described as the
easy boss" Platt, the colonel asserted,
attempted to dictate the man he, as
governor of the state of New York,
should appoint to be superintendent of
public works. But, said Col. Roosevelt
with considerable display of pride.
when he told Mr.. Barnes of the con-
versation, he added that he did not
intend any man should cay who he
should appoint to office. Mr.. Barnes.
however, sided with Mr.. Plat, saying
that the leader Of the organization
should have complete control Of it, the
witness swore.

gold watch chain stretched across his
chest. drummed with the tips of his
fingers upon the bench beside him,
and looked from jury box to lawyers.
from lawyers to spectators and from
spectators to the presiding justice.
When the arguments were over he in
variably would turn to Justice An
drews. smile broadly and, after ad-
dressing him as Judge" ask whether
he might proceed.
When he stepped from the stand at
the end of the days proceedings he
appeared to be as fresh as he was
when he arrived in court today.
MIR. Barnes paid particular attention
to his opponent during this session ot
court He listened to every wo., the
colonel said and occasionally turned
to the table occupied by his counsel to
make note upon pad of paper Sew
eral times during the day he left his
seat and walked to the other end Of
the table to whisper to Mr.. WINS
Usually these whispered conferences
resulted in the attorney jumping to his
feet and offering an objection. Mr..
WINS fought all day to keep the colonel
from getting into the records things
counsel for the plaintiff apparently
wanted to keep out. With but few
exceptions, however, the court ruled
in a manner which permitted the col
onel to tell the better part of the story
he was trying to relate.
Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1915-04-22

The colonel gave what he represent
ed to be the details of his conversation
with, and what he had been informed
were the actions of, Mr.. Barnes in re-
gard to direct primaries legislation,
racetrack legislation and opposition on
the part of the republican machine to
Governor Hughes He related, too, in
formation former Governor Sulzer and
his investigator, John A. Hennessey,
gave him regarding alleged corrup-
tion in certain state departments.
And, as conclusion, he denied that he
held any malice towards Mr.. Barnes,
and added that he considered he was
championing the cause of good gov
ernment against bipartisan boss rule
when he caused the publication of the
offending statement.
Tomorrow Colonel Roosevelt will
submit to cross examination at the
hands OF William Ivins, chief of the
Barnes counsel. who has a reputation
in New York legal circles as a spe.
cialist in that line
During his stay on the stand today
the colonel seemed to be even more at
ease tnan he was yesterday. He ar
gued with Mr.. Barnes attorneys, who
constantly interrupted him with obtec.
tions. He pounded upon the judges
bench with his fist. He brought the
palms OF his hands together with re-
sounding slaps.
One instant the expression on his
race was solemn and the next it was
1oviai. He tried his best to get into
the record things he wanted to get in,
ana he made suggestions to his coun-
sci as to where this letter or that
paper might be found. Once he smil-
inely engaged in a discussion with
Justice Andrews. presiding. and while
the opposing lawyers were them
selves engaged in arguing legal points
with Justice Andrews, the colonel, pa
tient and calm, toyed with the massive

FOUR ARE KILLED
VVHENDAM BROKE

EUREKA, Cal, April 21.-Fifteen
members of Northwestern Pacific
railway section crew working at the
mouth Of Ort creek, mile north of
Fort Seward, were caught in an eight
foot culvert today by the rush Of wa
ter when dam broke. The men were
carried into Eel river. Four are dead
and missing, six were injured and five
escaped unhurt.
The dead are:
BARNEY CARRIGAN, aged As.
JAMES CARRIGAN. aged 26.
THOMAS CLARK, aged 25.
SHANNEN, aged 40.
In order to clean the debris from
the culvert the section crew had con-
structed a dam at the upper end of
the aqueduct. While they were dig
ging loose gravel and earth from, the
upper end of the culvert and wheel
ing it out, the dam broke without
warning and with a deadening roar.
Five men, who were working at the
lower end of the culvert, had time to
escape ahead of the rush of water
and debris, but the ten who were
working at the upper end were
caught.

WARN LAb0RERS
To STAY AWAY

SEWARD. Alaska, April 21.-There
is no demand at present either here or
along the line of the proposed govern
ment railroad for labor. There is no
building material here and no work in
prospect until people with capital ar
rive. Permanent buildings of all kinds
are needed.
United States Deputy Marshal Evans
Of this district asks that common labor
be warned to remain away from Sew
ard at present. Persons who have suf-
ficient means to take up homesteads
and support themselves until the land
is productive can find locations in the
Susitna valley.
The railroad will employ only small
number of men this year and will give
preference to Alaskans. Laborers from
all coast points in Alaska are STAN
peding to Seward already and there
will be no opportunity for later com
ers.

PARIS, April 2l.-A report has
been received here that William
Thaw, an American aviator, serving
with the French army, has been kill.
ed near Verdun. The report has not
been confirmed, however A postcard
dated the seventeenth. sent by MIN
to a friend, showed that he was in
good health on that date
William Thaw jr. is the son OF Mrs.

at about the time he became of age.
He offered to serve either as an en-
gineer or an aviator, in both of which
activities he had had considerable ex.
perience.
He is a nephew OF Harry X. Thaw

ator in this country before the war.
On one occasion he began flight at
New Haven, circled the statue of lih.
erty and flew under the four bridges
