TESTIMONY
Barnes Lawyer Produces Letters in
Which the Colonel States His
Attitude Toward Nomi-
nation Of Hughes
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Syracuse, N. Y, April 26.-After
the weekend lull in the Barnes libel
trial Col. Roosevelt resumed the
stand for further cross examination
this morning 1t is doubtful whether
the case will be finished this week.
Barnes has gone to Albany to attend
the state convention.
Soon after the session of the court
opened today, the Barnes attorney pro-
duced letters which passed between
Roosevelt, Barnes and Ex-Representa-
tive Herbert Parsons, regarding the
denomination of Gov. Hughes.
Barnes wrote Roosevelt that he had
burned the bridges behind him, that
any straight Republican, including
Hughes, could win the nomination
though there was no Hughes sentiment
except in New York city. He said if
Hughes won the politicians who did
the party work would be crushed.
In replying to this letter Roosevelt
wrote saying that he saw the full force
Of the arguments made by Barnes
against the denomination of Hughes
Barnes urged that the Republican
party should not be placed in the
hands of mugwumps.
The Roosevelt letter said it was not
pleasant to him to support any man
who wantonly behaved badly to the
very men who secured his election, but
that he did not desire to have Hughes
turned down wantonly. He said he
realized that Hughes had alienated
many voters needlessly, but there was
not proper vote-getting candidate in
sight and therefore he thought Hughes
should be nominated
Col. Roosevelt said he was not die
tating but that he stood pat for the
nomination of Hughes.

WASH|TA
ABOUT TO
RAMPAGE.
River Reported Two Miles Wide al
Cheyenne Unprecedent Rise
Coming = Warning Mes
sages are Received

Reports come to the effect that at
Cheyenne the Washita river is two
miles wide and that bridges are being
swept away by this stream. The river
here is up by some IL feet and if the
rise reaches Chickasha in the same
proportion as reported, results will
be serious. The rise is reported to be
the highest ever known.
The Frisco and Pioneer telephone
offices here received messages from
officials requesting them to warn peo-
pie along the river to protect their
property.
The Frisco bridge at Mustang has
been repaired and regular train SER
vice resumed.
AT 11i30 today the report came that
the Rock Island bridge across the Can
adian at Bridgeport, but recently re-
paired, had again gone out Small
consideration is given to the Minco
bridge, as a possible outlet for traffic
to the north as this structure lacks
much of being ready for use. 1t is
thought probable that if the rise that
wiped out the Bridgeport structure
the last time, continues, the work al
ready done on the Minco bridge will
also so.

Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture
Says Proper Business Method
is Regulated Competition
Plus Cooperation

BY United Press.
Muskogee, Okla, April 26.-SpeaE.
Ing before the Southern Commercial
congress at the opening session here
today, Curl Vrooman, assistant secre-
tary of agriculture, declared that the
paramount business issue now is the
psychological one of fundamental per.
sonal honesty.
THAT there is a community of in
terests between the farmer and the
railroads or banks does not admit of
doubt" said vrooman, but that there
is an identity of interests does not
follow.
After all have worked together to
common advantage there is still lett
zone in which some men by stealth
or graft profit at the expense Of
others. 1t il upon this zone that CO
operation is encroaching."
Vrooman said the proper business
methods now called for regulated com
petition plus cooperation.
Prof. Austin of the University OF
Texas, in speech before the CON
g,ssss, stated that he favored a COM
mission to improve the condition of
tenant farmers. He decried the growth
OF tenantry in the south and said there
was little chance for the tenants to
become home owners in Texas.

For Women in
 Their "FOrtieS"

System Needs Bracing Nerve Aid.
 Somewhere between the ages of forty and fifty years, every woman's system has to undergo important functional changes that are seldom understood and rarely prepared for. Few realize that during this changing time they are subject to many phy- sical and mental trials that will tax their nerves and strength to the breaking point and may easily leave them semi-ipvalids and nervous wrecks.
 To the woman whose nervous sys- tenn is already weakened, this period is doubly dangerous, as in this con- dition she is more easily affected by disorders which her now overtaxed organs are unable to throw off. Wom- en during this changing age need and must have some quick acting and harmless remedy that, taken into their systems, will strengthen and invigorate their overworked nerve cells and help them to stand up un- der the trying strain.
 Wonderfully effective results are given in such conditions by the simple use of Margo Nerve Tablets a skillful combination of six of the best vita
 
 chemistry. These little tablets con- tain no dangerous habit-forming drugs and are entirely harmless in their action but they act quickly to build up and strengthen the entire nervous system by feeding directly to the tired, devitalized nerve cells, in artificial form, the very necessary elements of which nature is depriv- | ing them.
 If your nerves are worn out, if you have lost confidence, feel blue, | are Respondent and all tired out, Margo Nerve Tablets will help you l at once. Clark and Brainerd, New
 Britain, and other leading druggists
 in this vicinity sell them with the | positive guarantee that they must l produce the beneficial results ex- pected or the money paid for them
 will be refunded.

as it ever was. Only concealment was never so difficult
Moved At Night.

Troops and guns had to be moved at night when the German planes might not note the concentration. British planes must ward off German planes by day.
 Infinite labor and plains in detail are required, of hundreds of thou sands of men for such an attack. That of the medical corps alone is stupendous. On the morning of the attack beds were ready; and the count less ambulances and the clearing sta tions and all the intricate organiza- tion for caring for the wounded ready.
 As the attack proceeded a veritable flock of planes was cutting circles and dipping and turning over the bat tlefield as if in an exhibition of air. manship. They appeared to be dis connected with the battle; but no participant was more busy or intent than they. All the panorama of ac- tion was beneath them; they alone could really "see" the battle if they chose. But each aviator stole only passing glimpses of the whole; for each one was intent on his part which was to keep watch of whether the shells of the battery to which be re- ported were on the target or not.
 
 was whose in the midst of that cloud of dust and smoke over the German positions seemed as difficult as to sep- arate the spout of steam from one pipe from another when a hundred were making a wall of vapor.
 All For Aerial Service.
 Every youth in England apparently wants to get into the aerial service. So the corps has its pick. Promotion , is rapid; the romance and the excite ment of the work appeal. It is easy to learn to fly in the very stable lat est types of machines which, as the saying goes, are "fool-proof." It takes only two months to train man with aptitude to do the routine work | of reconnaissance. But he must be young. Men do not learn readily aft CT they are thirty. with few excep- tions, and they are very poor pupils indeed after they are thirty-five. It is not difficult to spot shells when only few batteries are, firing but when perhaps a hundred guns are dropping shells on a half mile front of trench a highly trained eye is required. Occasionally a plane was observed to slip down like a hawk which had located fish in the water

At all hazards that intrepid aviator was going to identify the shell bursts of the batteries which he represented. The Germans might have him in rifle range but they were too busy trying to hold back the English in- fantry to fire at him.
 Other planes were dropping shells on railroad trains and bridges, to hin- der the Germans once thzy had learned where the force of the at tack was to be exertcd from rushing endorsements ts the spot. For that kind of work as for all long recon naisances the aviators like low-lying clouds. They slip down out of these to have a'look around and drop a bomb and then rise to cover up before the Germans can bring their anti aircraft guns to bear.
 The first thing was, to hold what was taken in this advance. All the labor of turning the wrecked German into British trenches, of making new laying out barbed- wire had to be done before the German concentrating swept back in a counterattack which was expected and which came. A Niagara of German gunfire added to that of the British announces another German effort. So far the British have held their new positions; and when the Germans were attacking in one part of the line the British re- pulsed the German attack and took five hundred yards from the Ger mans in an adjacent part.
