COLONIES COUNSEL
ASSA|LSM Mr.. BARNES
Questions Truth of Statements
by Plaintiff in Summing Up
Libel Action.
SUIT TO HURT DEFENDANT
BEFORE PUBLIC. HE SAYS
Justice Andrews Rules Jury Shall
Not Consider Article Justified
Because Campaign Was On.

SYRACUSE. N. Y, May 1s.-John NJ
Bowers. chief counsel for Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt. today summed up in the
supreme court here the case of the de-
fense in William Barnes suit for libel.
He assailed the truth of many of the
statements made upon the witness
stand by the plaintiff. and presented
arguments to the jury designed to
show that his client was justified in
saving the things he did about the for-
mer chairman of the republican state
committee. The lawyer contended that
the suit was not brought with the pur-
pose of obtaining pecuniary damages
but in reality was game to lower
the defendant before the people OF the
United States
up the case of the plaintiff during the
afternoon session of court.
During the day Justice William 5
to instruct the jury to find a verdict
for Mr.. Barnes and ruled that the jury
would not be allowed in it's delibera
tions to consider the allegation that
the article upon which the suit is based
was privileged because the plaintiff
was in public life and a political cam
paign was in progress at the time OF
its publication. If the facts stated in
the article were not true then the in
diVidual named in the article had beer
libeled. If such was the case the jury
he added. must then determine the
amount of Dunitiye damages

been directed largely to acceptances by
member banks of drafts against mer-
chandise imports rather than exports
The bulk Of that business arose orig
inally from import of such commodities

America.
''Our purchase OF acceptance covering
export trade have mostly been drawn
against cotton exports. largely also
against shipments of general merchan-
disc to South America. Including the
business done In financing both export
and import trade. the maximum
amount of acceptances of all kinds, at
any time held by the federal reserve
