peared that on that date Mr.. Barnes

oped that Hoffman Nickerson, Of New
York. had acquired 200 shares. W. A..
Ouayle. an Albany printer, had got
ffty-nine shares and had been elected
vicc-presidcnt Of The company.
As it was agreed that the stock hold
ings Of this year were not material TO
the case, that part of the list contain
ing the name OF the chairman of the
national committee was stricken from
the record.
Taking up the stockholders at vari-
ous times from 1894, the list showed
that Mr.. Barnes and his family had
controlled. the company at all times.
Bv July, 1897, he had increased his
holdings to sol shares of the common

Boss Rule Necessary,
Roosevelt Declares
Barnes Said to Him

Theodore Roosevelt took the stand
this afternoon TO give some converse
tions that had not been allowed before
Justice Andrews had ruled that addi-
tional testimony could be given to show
his state Of mind at the time he wrote
the alleged libellous article and re-
peated the statements complained OF.
Mr.. Bowers asked Colonel Roosevelt
to state any conversations he had IN
1899 or 1900 with Mr.. Barnes on the
propriety OF the boss and the DONNA
tion of the machine.
There was more than one converse
tion." Colonel Roosevelt replied, that
took place concerning the franchise tax
bill. but the particular points TO when
YOU refer were brought up in CONVEX
sation after the franchise tax Dill was
passed and before the removal OF MI
Pawn. | would say that the converse
ton was in the late spring OF 1899 or az
the end of 1899 or the beginning OF
1900. | had several such conversations
on the domination of the machine ana
the necessity for the existence or the
machine under our system OF party
government.
"The conversations were held at the
Executive Mansion usually-then we
were entirely alone--in the Governors
chamber and the secretary's chamber
in the executive Offices at the Capitol.
Those conversations would generally
be when we were entirely alone. We
also held conversations in the recep-
ton room at the executive chamber
of the Capitol. In these cases we were
usually alone. but probably other peo-
pie were in the room.
1--WE had one conversation on the
train going from Albany TO New York.

rr-,, F,aH Correspondent, Of T-0s Tribune
Albany. May 8 "A cumbersome en-
ri,s. wonderfully evolved out % q
theoretical brain FOR delaying the en-
.ore,mert Of the labor laws" was the
Characterization bestowed on the
spring Industrial Commission bill by
James N. Lynch. Commissioner Of La
hay. at the hearing before Governor
Whitman or the measure to-day. Pro-
fsssor Thomas I. Parkinson, Of Colum-
b. University, who wrote the bill,
WINGED when he heard his thinking ma
chine and its child so described.
Frederick c. Cunningham, who has
been counsel TO the State Labor Com
mission for eight years, declared the
bill signed would nullify practically
al the labor laws that now safeguard
,oilers in factories and shops.
The bill was opposed by representa-
tves Of organized labor and backed by
the American Association for Labor
legislation and representatives OF
large manufacturing industries.
Peter j. Brady. Of New York City,
.,presenting the state Allied Printing
Trades. said in a speech denouncing the
bill: u. unfortunately. belong 10 the

isstion, whose proper name is the

ritisa Of Labor legislation

cher prominent men and women are

Isr Mitchell, who are also members

Surng bill. which consolidstes the De
urtment Of Labor and the Workmen's
Compensation Commission under one
commission Of FIVE members, and pro

Of five employers and FIVE employees.
Michael A. DAILY, Of Buffalo, repre-
lsnting the Associated Industries; C..
r King. Of the New York State Manu-
iscturers' Association; Professor Park
ihson and Samuel McCune Lindsay were
The principal speakers who asked the
Governor 70 sign the bill.
Although Governor Whitman said one
Of the provisi ons Of the measure did
rot meet with his entire approval, he
Indicated that he would sign it. He
also let il be inferred that if the meas
IRE became a law he would appoint
James ". Lynch. Commissioner or
labor, and John Mitchell. a compensa-
ton commissioner, as members Of the
new commission. J. Mayhem Vain

ton commissioner early in the Whit
nan administration, is another pros
fsetive appointee.
