Roosevelt to Take Place at
Syracuse, n. Y.

NEW YORK, April 10. - The trial
of the suit which William Barnes in
stituted against Theodore Roosevelt,
claiming $50, 900 damages for alleged
libel, will begin in the supreme court
at Syracuse, n. ", today The attor-
neys retained by the principals in the
action spent yesterday putting the fnaI
touches on their eases. Last night,
with Col. Roosevelt on his way to Syra-
cuse from New York, and Mr.. Barnes
on his way from Albany aboard the
same train, both sides said they were
ready. 1t was considered doubtful that
the jury would be completed today
Politics undoubtedly viii enter the
case when the first talesman is called
for examination. Lists Of the talesmen
on special panel called contained the
information Just which men belonged
to the Republican party, which to the
Progressive, which to the Democratic
and which to the other parties. And
when the taking of testimony begins
there viii be inaugurated what may de-
yelOp into rehearsal of certain in
stances which have occupied the atten-
tion of politicians and others during
the past 10 years or so.
The suit, trial of which was moved to
motion for a change OF venue, is
based upon a statement issued by Col.
Roosevelt during the campaign last
summer Of HarxeX 2. -ILinmal-- 4fa%s- lie
| Republican nomination of governor of
New York state In that statement,
Col. RooseV cit referred TO Mr. Barnes
as controlling, with Charles F. Murphy
of Tammany hail. the all-powerful
invisible government which is response
bic for the maladministration and cor
/ lruption in public offices of the state
/ The statement also contained other ref
/ ierences to Mr.. Barnes as ga boss. -
In his answer to the complaint, Col
| Roosevelt denied that by his issuance
of this statement Mr.. Barnes was dam
aged to the extent of $4,000 or any
other sum. He says further that his
motive in saying the things he did say
was Gin an endeavor as citizen tc
| advance the cause of good, honest and
efficient government in the state, and
without any malice expressed or implied
toward either the plaintiff or any othei
person. -

THE MELTING POT.
Story of Drama to Be Interpreted Be
fore Woman's Club Wednesday.

Does anyone know a drama of more alb
sorbing interest, Of deeper emotional ap-
peal. of a greater vision than Israel Zang-
Wills The Melting Pot?
It's purpose Is not SO much to present
problem as to embody great ideal or Wis
ion of America in a moving, personal
drama The scene is cosmopolitan New
York of today The central character,
David Quixano, Is a young musical genius
of Jewish race, whose mind Is at times al
most unbalanced by terrible memories of
Russian atrocities, and particularly Of the
massacre in which his father, mother
brothers, and sisters met awful fates. But
much of the time he is radiantly happy
because of his great JOY and faith in Amer
ica the land of freedom and of opportun-
ity He has a great vision of Gods pur-
pose of using America as crucible in
which men of every race are to be melted
and fused into the superman. This vision
ne expresses in an American symphony.
Through the influence a beautiful Rus
sian girl, Vera Revendal, whom he calls
the Spirit Of the Settlement, he is given a
chance to show his work to great musical
director, Herr Pappemeister, whose en-
| ployer. an American millionaire affects in
terest in music Davids work delights
| Herr Pappelmeister. but his socialistic
| views lose him the chance of European
study. Little he cares, for he finds that
his love for the beautiful Russian girl is
returned. No Jewish prejudice can dim his
| JOY. No Russian prejudice can lessen her
love for him. Can you imagine the awful
ness of his finding in her father the mon
strous leader of the massacre which has 50
/ haunted him for years? He actually sees
| the face and hears the voice of the muir
! ,,Eb al q
himself he sees only a river Of blood Car
the river be spanned? Can his vision OF
| America ever mean anything to him again
| Do not look for the answer here, but il

Wants Pretext for Severing
Ties Preventing Outbreak
of HOstilities
EVERY MOVE MADE
WATCHED BY LONDON
Partnership Of Italy on Side of Allies
Would Effectually Close the. Door
Through Which the Teutonic Com
batants Receive Supplies.

LONDON, April 10, 1.55-Whether
negotiations between Russia and vi
emma concerning Italy's demands for
territorial concession have been broken
off remains an official secret. but it ap-
pears to be agreed that the tension is
approaching the breaking point.
1t is suggested here that the Italian
foreign Office is awaiting an ultimatum
from Vienna on the subject of Italy
military preparations as a pretext to
sever the remaining ties preventing an
outbreak of hostilities.
The alertness with which every move
made by Italy is now followed in Lon
don indicates the Importance of bring
ing Italy to the line.
One of the main reasons advanced
for this desire to include Italy in the
partnership of the allies is that in no
other way is it possible to close so
effectually the door through which sup
plies are still reaching the Teutonic
eombatants in considerable amounts.
1t is asserted today that a sudden
embargo has been placed at Como on a
train load of supplies intended for
Germany and that Italy and Rumania
have taken joint action in refusing TO
allow foodstuffs destined for the civil
ian population of Austria Hungary to
traverse their territory.
Although there has been much fight
ing in eastern and western fields, oper-
ations on q big scale are still awaiting
improvements in weather on the one
side and adequate supplies on the
other.
Indications are that the greatest bat
tie is imminent and that the coming
clash in the Carpathians viii coincide
with the great German advance from
the direction OF Cracow.
| Activities in the Dardanelles are
| taken to presage an important move
ment any day now against the Turkish
positions.

RUSSIANS GAIN
GREAT VICTORY
Hold Line IS Miles Long in the CarpathianS
10000 Austrian Prisoners Captured Teutonc
Armies Will Concentrate Their Energies in the
Eastern Campaign

A despatch from Geneva gives the
impression that Austria and Germany
have decided to concentrate energies
in the eastern campaign.
It is said that at a council Of war it
was determined to transfer the Aus
trian heavy artillery before Verdun to
Poland and to send back to Cracow the
hungarian cavalry now on the western
front.
Confident assertions from Berlin that
the Russian advance in the Carpath-
ians has been halted are offset by the
claims Of the Petrograd war Office that
the principal chain of mountains com
prising - mile section is now in
possession of the Russians and that
10000 Austrians have been captured
in the last few weeks, together with
80 field and goo machine guns.
1t is said in. Petrograd that a move
ment toward the interior Of Hungary
will be resumed after the troops have
been rested and reinforced.
The Austrian war office maintains
that the Austro-German forces are
gaining further victories.
Count Alvaro de Romanoes, former
premier Of Spain, has made public
statement to the effect that announce
ment should be made by Spain to show
whore her sympathy lies.
He pointed out that Spain s rela-
tions with the triple entente had been
moro and more friendly during recent
years.

READY TO LIFT F-4.

HONOLULU, April 19. = Work has
been going on preparatory to raising
the submarine F-4 by direct lift. 1t
was expected this effort would be
made today. -Four lines are now fas
tened to the hull.
William F. Loughman, the diver
whose life line became entangled yes
terday when he was 220 feet beneath
the surface, and who was rescued by
Frank Crilley and brought to the sur
face after having been submerged
four hours, was greatly improved to-
day. Further diving while the subma-
rine is at its present depth is consider
ed improbable, the authorities being
reluctant to risk the lives of divers in
view of the fact that cables are now
firmly attached to the submarine.
