BARNES FLATLY
DENIES STORIES
BY ROOSEVELT
Declares Statements Told by
Colonel Under Oath Are Alb
Solutely False in Nearly All.
Particulars.

Syracuse, N. r., May 13.--William
Barnes former chairman of the re-
publican state committee, spent two
hours on the witness stand today in
contradieting wholly or in part vari-
GUS portions of the testimony of Col
onel Roosevelt, whom he is suing for
libel, and in giving his own version
of several incidents described by the
former president of the United States
Mr.. Barnes swore that he did not
talk 10 Colonel Roosevelt about the
franchise tax bill prior TO its passage.
lie denied emphatically that he had
asked the then governor of New York
not TO sign the bill. With equal em-
phasis he denied that he had ever
told Colonel Roosevelt that men iden-
titled with big business interests con-
tributed to both parties in order to
gain protection, and that If il was not
given them they would cease TO con-
tribute; that he Mad urged the reap
pointment of Lou Payne as state sup
erintendent of insurance and that he
had discussed legislative matters with
Colonel Roosevelt on many occa-
sions" He said he did none of these
or a half dozen other things the col
onel described him as having done
He did, however, declare bys direct
inference that he considered Colonel
Roosevelt the leader of the republican
party in this state from 1906 TO 1910.
And he said that he visited the White
House In 1908 at the request of the
president, and was urged 10 see Au-
gust Belmont about the race track
bill. ,4e quoted Colonel Roosevelt as
saying the bill must be defeated. This
was the bill which failed of passage
because Of the vote of State Senator
Grattan who, according to previous
testimony. changed his mind after vot-
ing for it after an alleged talk with
Mr.. Barnes the night before it came
up for consideration.
As for the statement accredited to
him by Colonel Roosevelt that the
people were not fit to govern them
selves" Mr.. Barnes said he never
said H.

BURSUM ACCEPTS
TAX COMMISSION
JOB PROVIDED
Author of New Revenue Law
Is Willing to Serve State if
He Can Name the Other
Members of Board

Santa Fe, May 13.-Goyernor Me-
Donald today received a letter from
IL. o. Bursum, author of the new tax
commission law, in reply to letter
written by the governor rendering Mr..
Bursum the appointment TO place on
the commission to succeed Jose l.. Pc
rea. of Socorro county, who recently
resigned from the board.
In his letter TO the governor Mr.
Rursum expresses his appreciation OF
the honor conferred in the offer OF
the appointment, but makes his ac-
ceptance of the position conditional!
upon his being permitted to name two
other members of the board, giving q
majority of that body in sympathy
with the views Of the author OF the
new law. He takes the position that
with a democratic majority on the
board it would be impossible for him
to accomplish anything by serving.
While Governor Mcdonald has not
stated what he will do. it is taken for
granted here that ne will not accede
to the conditions named by Mr.. Bur
sim. but will select some one else Tor
the vacancy on the board.
