In 1898 did you appear before the
tax commissioners in reference to your
assessment
II don't remember"
A photograph of a tax notice sent
to the witness in 1898 was entered in
the evidence.
Mr.. WINS, sitting or standing direct
ly in front of the witness questioned
the colonel in a voice that was scarce
ly audible to spectators in the rear OF
the court room. Several times the
witness started to make explanations,
but he was interrupted by the cross
examiner and informed that answers,
not explanations, were desired.
The colonel replied to his question
er with great elaboration, choosing
his words carefully.
Ineligible for Governorship.
DO you remember making an af-
fidavit in 1898 about your New York
tax assessment"
Yes, 1 made it in Washington
you made an interlineation in this
affidavit?''
Yes
The affidavit was identified by Col
onel Roosevelt and read. In it Colonel
Roosevelt said that since 1897 he had
not lived in New York and that he
was then a resident of Washington.
Mr.. WINS then read section 2, article
4, of the state constitution which pro-
v1des that a person is not eligible for
the governorship unless he for five
of New York state.
Colonel Roosevelt said he first saw
that part of the constitution after his
return from the Spanish war.
Il now call your attention" Mr.
WINS went on, ito a paper signed by
Secretary of War Alger. 1t is COM
mission of lieutenant colonel of volun-
teers given to you in 1898. In this

Syracuse, April 22.-Three bundles
OF papers containing notes, and two
suit cases of records and pamphlets
were taken into the supreme court
here today by counsel for William
Barnes. The documents were to be
used by William WINS, chief counsel
in his Characterization of Theodore
Roosevelt. Mr.. Barnes himself was
said to have suggested many questions
for his opponent to answer.
William Loeb, jr., private secretary
to Colonel Roosevelt when he was
president and later collector of the

rival at the court house today. Mr..
Loeb is under subpoena and 1t was

KANSAS AND GRAIN CROPS.

kansas grain prospects for the pres
ent year are decidedly above normal
says the Kansas Industrialist. The re-
port of the bureau of crop estimates of
the United States department of agri-
culture shows that, while the condi-
ton of wheat in the United States is
as a whole slightly more than l per
cent better than usual at this time of
year, the condition in Kansas is per
cent above the average. This places
the condition of wheat in Kansas
above that in the United States as a
whole, which is the opposite of the
usual situation at this time of year.
In rye Kansas is still more favored.
The general condition of this crop in
the United States is below the aver
age. while in Kansas it is per cent
above. These figures indicate another
season of prosperity in the lines
where it is most needed. This should
not. however. persuade farmers to

THE WOMEN OF FRANCE.

Evidently the war doesn't provide
sufficient worry for the women OF
France. They, or some of the more
prominent among them, are having
fidgits over the reputation that the
French woman has with the people of
the rest of the world, or the reputa-
ton that thye think she has. And
they propose to wage campaign 10
dispel the idea that the average
French woman is a coquette and
creature of pleasure. But, as mat
ter of fact, this idea is only held by
the ignorant. Nobody with any sense,
judges the women of France by the
demi-mondes and other high and low
filters of Paris The substance of
Frances soldiers in the field demon
strate the wholesomeness of their
mothers. The frugality of the French,
that makes them the money-lending
people of the world, must be attr1b-
uted in the main to the energy ana
economy of their women. The women
folk the world over are the ones more
often responsible for the financial nest
eggs that families accumulate. the
real women of France, and they are
in the enormous majority, have as
good a. reputation among the thinking
people of the world as have the wom-
en- of other nations. They need no
apologists. But then some of the
females of the species never have
enough to worry about; and others OF
them, again, just have to keep in the
limelight's glare. So while the recent
ly inaugurated crusade of divers
French women to tell the world what
the world already knows is an I'M
necessary activity, it will provide them
with food for worry and attract the
attention to them for which they are
likely laundering.

AMERICAS MINERAL PRODUCTS.

The mineral products of the United
States are discussed in a small volume
now being distributed by the United
States geological survey which con-
tains a fund of useful information
concerning the minerals and their
values and production in all the states
during 1912 and 1913. The figures
given in some of the tables are so
stupendous as to be beyond compre-
hension. almost In one table are
given the figures for mineral produc-
ton from 1880 to 1913, the metals
being valued at s1S5.OOO,OOO in 1880
and increasing to $3.50, 100000 in 1913
The nonmetallic minerals increased
from $113, 100000 in 1880 to s1.562,-
600, 600 in 1913, and the total mineral
production from 100000 to So
446, 900, 900. This total for 1913 was
an increase over 1912 of more than
$500, 000,0 900. The value of the metals
imported for consumption in 1913 was
S251, OOO,O 900 and of those exported
319,OO0,0 900. The value of the total
mineral production from 1880 to 1913,
inclusive, was s35, 100000. These
huge figures are of general interest
but the chief value of the volume lies
in the figures and discussion of the
increased or decreased production of
each state during recent years.
