F.. THE CONVERSION OF SILAS. :

l1E SoNNENolON VI SiLHS'
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 80
Of all the fossils in our town
ST Haskins was the boss.
He said the autymobile never
Would replace the hoss.
He alters uster sneer and snort
Whenever one went by,
And when he'd see one busted down
He'd laugh till he'd cry.
He said the owners all were fools
To 60 and spend their dough
For 1Am goldarned contrivances
That never seemed to 60.
Them devil.wagons got his goat:
He'd never fall for one,
Of all the gol-durn foolisness
Gas wagons took the bun.
One day a nephew died and left
An old one-lunged machine
A-standing out in old Sis barn.
ST got some gasoline
And poured it in the gosh-durn thing
To see if it would start.
He cranked it upand thought he'd try
To drive the old gas cart.
He drove it down the road all right,
Forgetting all his care
And rode around till almost night
And visited everywhere.
Next morning bright and early,
He was pounding down the street;
He scared the hosses right and left,
And knocked folks off their feet.
A week from then he bought a car.
1t was a high-hoss power.
He didn't take time to eat,
But drove 1t every hour.
He raced with everybody who
Showed up within a mile;
He said you might as we'll be dead
AS not to be in style.
His whiskers blew out in the breeze.
As down the road he flew:
He said, "Pll show these gol-ding
boobs
A fancy trick or teW.'
He spent all his waking hours
In showing them new tricks,
Four cylinders became too tame,
And so he bought six.
He's been arrested nineteen times
For speedin' so they say.
He's got his whiskers all shaved off,
For they got in his way.
He talks of touring cars all day
And dreams of them at night
And nowadays whenever he sees
A piece of horse flesh pass
He sort o'chuckles, sneering like,
And hollers out: No class!'

Ethics Of Boss Rule.

The ethics of boss rule and machine
politics as Theodore Roosevelt claims
William Barnes expounded them. were
related by the former President upon
the witness stand late Yesterday after
noon. The colonel swore that Mr.
Barnes had told him that the ''riffrafi
could not be trusted to handle political
affairs without a leader" and had ex-
pressed himself as being in favor OF
the democratic and republican organ
izations combining to defeat legisla-
rion providing, for. direct primaries
The colonel related what he alleged to
be the substance of conversations he
had had with the former chairman OF
the republican state committee over a
period of from 1898 until he left the
White House. He told his story with
all the forcefulneSs at his command
In part. 1t follows:
"Mr. Barnes and I had many conver-
sations upon the boss and the domino
tion of the machine. There was more
than one conversation concerning the
franchise tax bill. There were some

Machine Powers.

Those conversations were upon the
power of and the necessity for the ma
chine under the system of party gov
ernment.
"Generally our conversations were
held in the executive mansion at AL
bany We we're entirely alone Others
were held in the governors and secre-
tary's cha amber in the executive Offices
at the capitol. We were entirely alone

Other conversations were held il.

One of the conversations was just prior
! to the appointment of a successor TO

necessary that the head of the organ

and he instanced Albany county. He

COURT RULES OUT
ALBANY TESTIMONY
Col. Roosevelt Not Permitted
to Tell of Democratic -Repub-
Iican Combine There.
FAMOUS LIBEL TRIAL
is NEARING ITS END
Few More Witnesses to Be Exam
ined, the Lawyers Intimate.
Newspaper Articles Read.

SYRACUSE. y. Y. May 6.-The case
of the defense in William Barnes suit
against Theodore Roosevelt for alleged
libel Is nearly completed, attorneys said
today. They added that only a few
more witnesses remained to be called.
Col. Roosevelt was not permitted to
testify to conditions in Albany and the
alleged combinations between. Demo-
cratic Leader McCabe and Republican
Leader Barnes, Justice Andrews ruling
out the attempt.
Rules Out Albany Questions.
When court opened today Mr.. WINS
and Mr.. Bowers leaned over the judges S
bench. Mr. WINS had in his hand copies
of New York evening newspaper and
Syracuse evening newspaper which
he showed to Justice Andrews. Coun-
sci and Justice Andrews discussed ar
ticles in the papers for some time, and
when the conference was over Justice
Andrews reiterated his warning to the
jury about reading newspapers.
Then counsel began their argument
upon the admissibility of evidence con-
cerning local affairs in Albany.
Mr.. Bowers, for Col. Roosevelt. urged
that the colonel be allowed to answer
the question put to him yesterday as to
Information NJ pOsseSSeu dDouL dH di :
rangement between Mr.. Barnes "and a
man named McCabe, at one time leader
Of the democratic party in Albany"
Mr. Bowers argued that the evidence
should be admitted in mitigation of
damages.
He said: "I expect Col. Roosevelt
will testify here that Mr.. Barnes bar
gained with one McCabe. expect the
defendant will testify that Mr.. Barnes
found places in gambling houses for
men to work"
Justice Andrews ruled against this
line of questioning. saying that the in
formation the defendant had received
which was confined to county or city
affairs in Albany was immaterial.
Col. Roosevelt then resumed the
stand.
Il don't care to have anything further
to say to Col. Roosevelt, remarked Mr.
WINS with a smile. So, contrary to ex-
pectation. the colonel was not cross
examined upon his testimony of yester-
day.
