PLATES GHOST RISES
 TO HEGKLE COLONEL
Letters Indicate I. R. OheyGd Wishes of "Easy Boss"

Colonel Roosevelt was given a severe setback in the shape of secret letter ' file which in most intimate way showed Roosevelt's relations with the | late Boss platt. These letters indicate and the colonel did not attempt to controvert them-that Roosevelt while l governor deferred in a most complai- sant fashion to the wishes of the 'easy boss" when 1t came to appointments, | policies and other details of executive management.
 For the first time since the famous | libel suit was begun the colonel was placed squarely on the defensive. The colonel was compelled to fall back upon "I don't know" and "I don't remember" when confronted with the record of his obedience to the wishes of | Platt.
 The real fight at Syracuse, N. Y., is yet 10 come. The colonel has had all | the best of 1t so far, but 1t must not be | forgotten that Barnes has not yet had his day in court. That day will come when the defendants case is in, prob | ably at the end of this week. Everything the colonel has said about Barnes on the stand and in the statements complained of he will have to prove. If he is to win this case. He has produced one tangible piece of evidence. the letter in which Barnes appealed 10 Roosevelt to drop the state printing house matter, which threaten ed Barnes' ruin if carried out.
 The colonel admitted the facts fin re- gard to his swearing off his taxes in New York In 1S0s when he claimed residence in Washington. The ln- timation of the Barnes lawyers, of course. was that this fact had made Roosevelt ineligible to run for gov ernor in New York.
 In his testimony the colonel hatly charged that Barnes, as state Repub. lican boss. combined with Tammany Leader Murphy to defeat many Hughes | reform bills.
 The colonel pictured Barnes as the state Republican boss, dominant and all powerful He told how Barnes grip on the Republican machine had been inherited from United States Sen. ator Platt and how Barnes had strengthened and used his grip on the | party.
 Roosevelt said Barnes and Senator Platt opposed tax legislation inlmical to their interests because it might stop contributions.
