Their HOMES AT STAKE
Hatters Seek to Satisfy Judgment
Against Danbury Men.

New York, May 11.-How to satisfy
the S25S,OOo judgment obtained by
Loewe & Co. of Danbury, Conn.,, in a
suit against the Danbury union was
the chief business before the conven-
ton of United Hatters of America, in
in session here today. The judgment
with interest now amounts to about
100000. The homes of $50 members
Of the union were pledged as security
during litigation.
Loewe & Co. have given warning the
Judgment must be met, but the organ
ization is said to have no funds for
that purpose.
John w. Sculley, national president,
told the delegates at the opening ses-
sion he did not intend to give them
any advice as to how to save the
homes of the Danbury men.
THAT is a matter for this cOnven-
vention," he said. "Our members are
practically held as hostages under the
ruling of the courts and it is for you
to devise ways and means to relieve
them, if we can. While moral support
any sympathy are encouraging, they
do not help"

Justice Andrews So Speaks OF
Charges Against Barnes.
Testimony Regarding "Legisla-
tive DeaIso Allowed to Stand.
ROOSEVELT GAINS A POINT
Can Show Alliance Between
Crooked Business and Politics.
Examination of Barnes Wit
nesses Will Take Two Days.

Syracuse May 11.-Remarking that
such evidence did not show any cor
ruption or improperly on the part OF
Mr.. Barnes, Justice w. s. Andrews
presiding in the trial of VIM. Barnes
suit for libel against Theodore Roose-
welt, refused today to strike from the
record testimony concerning Mr..
Barnes's connection with direct pri-
maries legislation, race track leglsla-
ton the franchise tax, and his oppo-
sition to Governor Hughes. 1t was
allowed to remain in the record sim
ply to show the plaintiffs position in
the Republican party.
Justice Andrews added he consider
ed some of the evidence might bear
on the eelction in 1911 of a United
States senator to succeed Chauncey
NJ. Depew and that it should remain
in for that reason also.
Makes a Strike Out.
The court struck out a stipulation
to the effect that there was rotten
ness in many departments of the state
government. The court held that no
evidence had ben produced which in
any way connected Mr.. Barnes with
the matter
The court refused to strike out the
testimony of Roscoe Irwin, a eollec-
tor of internal revenue, who told of
seing Charles T. Murphy of Tammany
hall about appointments. The court
held that Mr.. Irwins testimony should
remain in simply to show the position
of Mr.. Murphy in the Democratic
party.
In a discussion with william M.
WINS, chief counsel for Mr.. Barnes,
Justice Andrews remarked he consid-
cred the article upon which the suit
was based libel per Sc because it
charged a corrupt alliance between Mr..
Barnes and Mr.. Murphy. He added
that one of the reasons he had allow
ed evidence on the printing situation
in Albany was to give the defense an
adequate opportunity to prove if it
could a corrupt alliance between
ties
Barnes Motions Denied.
Counsel for Mr.. Barnes late yester-
day sought to have stricken from the
record much of the testimony given
the last thre weeks in behalf of Mr..
Roosevelt. Five motions to this end
were made. Four were denied.
Among the Barnes witnesses ready
to testify in rebuttal is VIM. F. Shee-
han, Democratic candidate for U. S.
senator in 1911, when a deadlock in
the state senate finally resulted in tbs
selection of James A. O'Gorman.
Twelve witnesses had been sum-
moned to appear today. The counsel
for Mr.. Barnes said two days at least
would be needed for the direct exam
ination of their witnesses.
August Belmont arrived today in an
swer to a subpoena served upon in
behalf of Mr.. Barnes. Colonel Roose-
welt greeted Mr.. Belmont with one
hand and Frank p. Shay, former
cavalryman who entered the Spanish
trenches at San Juan Hill with him.
Belmont lunch together during the re-
cess.

BACK IN The Tolls.
Police Believe They Have Jail
Breaker in Custody.

Criminal complaint charging Ross
Duncan, alias Clyde Miller and Doc
White with attempting to rob an aged
cripple in North Topeka recently, was
today filed in the court of Topeka. Ac-
cording to H. E. Gains, Union Pacific
special agent, who swore to the COM
plant, Duncan is the man who was
picked up by the police a few weeks
ago and escaped from the city Jail
through hole in the bull pen made
by two prisoners who were working
out a fine for railroad trespassing
Both men, accedfng to officials, are
being held in Kansas City by the
metropolitan police.
The alleged attempt to pick the
pockets of an aged cripple took place
several weeks ago while the man was
boarding a train at the Union Pacific
depot. Gains says he has reason to
believe that the men are responsible
for other similar offenses in North To-
peka. Another man was working with
the two, he says, when the offense
was committed. 1t is expected that a
deputy sheriff will leave shortly for
Kansas City for the two men who are
being held.

Commissioner Benson.

Governor Arthur Capper, w. F.
Benson, bank commissioner, and S.
H. Hawk, assistant attorney general
are among the visitors from the state
house to the annual meeting of the
Kansas Bankers association, which is
in progress at Independence. These
three state officials are speakers on
the programs today and tomorrow.
Governor Capper will go to Hutchin-
son tomorrow for an inspection of the
state reformatory for men.
Much interest attaches to the adj
dress Of Commissioner Benson, since,
through his position at the head of
the state banking department, he is in
touch with the entire situation in Kan
sas. His review of the business of
banking shows it to be in an almost
ideal condition in this state.
For the last ten years in Kansas -
said he, there have been only IS
state banks that have failed. These
failures involved q loss so small to the
stockholders and depositors that the
percentage is too small to calculate

bank commissioner, takes more money
out of Kansas annually than did the
drOuth of 1913. He warned against
the tendency to increase the number
of banking institutions as threatening
