WINS, Today, Sums Up
Case for Boss
Barnes
BOWERS MAKES
STRONG APPEAL
Asks Jury to Save Col
Onel for Leadership
of the Nation

SYRACUSE. n. Y, May 20.--Col.
Roosevelt may know by night
whether he will have to pay money
to William Barnes for alleged libel.
When court met today II was the
belief OF counsel for both sides that
Attorney WINS would complete his
summing up for Barnes early. and
that Judge Andrews charge would
permit Of the case going to the jury
in the afternoon. The charge is
expected to be short, emphasizing
to the jury the distinguishing char
acteristics between justification ana
mitigation Of damages.
Mr.. Bowers. yesterday. made
dramatic appeal TO the jury TO save
the colonel for the leadership Of
the nation.
The last plea that Col. Roosevelt,
as we'll as the president. must be
stan upon which the American peo-
pie are To lean in these dark hours
OF international anarchy, and must
not be broken by wicked and sell
fish men at the time the country
needs him most, was delivered by
Mr. Bowers with extraordinary fer
vor and solemnity.
He named the great men of great
epochs. who, to his mind. had done
most toward establishing free
nation and maintaining true liberty
and finally came 10 the name OF
Roosevelt. Here was a gallery OF
heroes. every one OF whom, in Mr..
Bowers's meaning, had finished
vital and patriotic task save one.
Theodore Roosevelt And the work
remaining TO be done by Roosevelt
was guidance OF the nation in the
new responsibility which has come
out OF the great war.
THAT responsibility" said Mr..
Bowers. "is now before us in a
form which requires action OF tho
utmost moment TO this nation.
That action will be determined by
Woodrow Wilson. the president OF
the United States. Among those
closely following as guide OF the
nation Is the gentleman | represent
in this action.
The purpose OF this action is not
confined 10 the mere enmity OF

SHOCKS FELT IN CALIFORNIA
EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE Is EoTk
MATED At 100000.
Four Persons Killed and Scores lN
jured-CaIexico Suffers Heavily
From Fires.

Ell Centre, CAL, June 24.-1n an area
extending roughly from the shoulder
of the Cocopah mountains of Lower
California to San Bernardino and Nee
dies, CAL, on the north, Yuma. Ariz..
on the east, and San Diego on the
west, series Of earthquakes wrought
damage now estimated at about $780,
900, killed four persons and injured
perhaps a score. The tremors con-
tinued internationally and decreasing
steadily in strength, doing only neglig-
ible damage.
The zone in which the tremors were
felt most centered about Calexico in
Lower California and Mexical, tho
Mexican town opposite where all the
fatalities occurred. Men and women
were crushed beneath the adobe wall
of a dance house.
At Calexico the damage was esti-
mated at close to 100000. Several
fires at Calexico added to the damage
done there by the quakes, which threw
the municipal water tank off it's 60
foot tower.
