BARNES COMMENTS
 ON JURY'S VERDICT
Says He Knew When He Brought Ac- tion For Libel Rooseyclt's State
 t ments Were Absolutely False.

New York, May 22.-A statement issued by MT. Barnes on the verdict for Col. Roosevelt follows: There is nothing that I can say regarding the verdict of the jury in this mat ter, except that when I brough. the action I knew that the accusation made by MT. Roosevelt. of colIusion com bination, or even dicker. between me and Tammany Hall, or MT. Mur- phy, or any other democratic agency, not only for any corrupt purpose, but for any purpose, was absolutely false.
 When I accepted the chairman ship of the state committee, in Jan- uary, 1911, it. was at the request of the membership of the committee, at a Stime when I had retired from po- litical life and when the republican party was out of power in the state. As chairman of that committee, never attempted to build up any ma chine,' nor to dictate nominations, nor to act in accordance with thessideas which formerly had nrevailed with regard to the functions of thisse of- fee. .~
 ."The jury declared that I had no cause of action against MT. Roosevelt, who charged me with acts which I did not commit, and therefore. tenn porarily, the public may believe that I was guilty of what T did not do.e Complete rectitude of my conduct must content me-which, after all, is the only important thing in life" -
 Mr. Wins statement dealt with the purely legal aspects of the case Af- ter asserting that the verdict was en- tirely unexpected. MT. Wins asserted that counsel for Mr. Barnes were sat isfed from the beginning that 'The attitude of the court toward libel was not in conformity with precedent" and had quoted, as precedents,. sey- eral cases which he mentions

TELLS WHY JAPAN KEPT
 FIFTH GROUP SECRET
Did Not Represent Demands but
 Rather Hopes, Says Baron kao.

Tokio, May 22.-Why Japan en- deavored to keep secret the fifth group cf the demands she presented to China last January, shortly after the occupation of the German position of Kiao-Chow by the Japanese, was ex- rlained in the Diet today by Baron kato, minister of foreign affairs.
 Questions as to why this fifth group of demands was not made espublic were asked of the ministers.
 Group Represented Hopes.
 Baron Kato called attention to the fact that Japan was not in duty bound to communicate these demands to the powers. Japan believed she was jus t!fed, he declared, in demanding the concessions contained in the first four groups. The fifth group did not rep resent demands, but rather hopes "We had to see what China would say about this fifth group the foreign minister explained, "and there was therefore no necessity of communi- eating it. Later, because of the ap- peararce of erroneous accounts of this group, Japan decided to make the matter. public.
 To an intsfpellation as to why ScNpolt "do ACclCAitiS Hldo-SHOW lO China. the foreign minister explained lie was glad of the opportunity to set forth the position Of the governme ent, which was based entirely on the de- struction of German influence in the far east and the maintenance of the integrity of China. The restoration of Kiao-Chow was not an incident of tile negotiations but had been decided upon. long before these were under taken. So long as no other country held Kiao-Chow, Japan was satisfied. The government, the foreign4minister declared, hoped the question of the fifth group of demands would be settled later. Tn the meantime. Baron Kato said he and the other ministers responsible for the outcome of the negotiations, did not like the insinua- tions that they were trying to evade responsibility.
 Did not Menace China. s,
 Replying to another query, Leuten- ant General Oka, minister of war, de-, n:ed that Japan had menaced China. He explained that the date of the changing of the garrisons in Man churia had merely been advanced.
 The discussion in the house of peers was practically a duplication of that i'll the house of representatives.
 Baron Kato was applauded when he said that most Japanese did not con- sider it a disgrace that the nation had

WERE MEN, AND GENTLEMEN
Cowpunchers of the Old West Have
Been Rightly Depicted in the
Pages of Romance.

"The old West" says Edgar Beecher
Bronson, author of "The Vanguard"
was just as romantic in real life as
it appears in fiction. Possibly it is the
only case of romance standing the test
of ones being actually on the spot.
And the cowpunchers were gallant as
courtiers.
There is story of the Cheyenne
coach when a man, a gentleman he
called himself, from big Eastern city,
got exceedingly drunk and started to
annoy a girl school-teacher who was
going out to the school.
"A cowpuncher who was the only
other passenger ON the coach, prompt
ly showed gun in his face and made
him behave himself. Living out there
in the open, the only good women they
could remember were their mothers
and sisters, and that's what good wom-
en- represented to them always. So
some of the Western fiction isn't too
romantic, after all"
Mr.. Bronson may be regarded as an
authority on the matter, for he was a
working ranchman for IA years.
