"Thc only important combination you
have shown" said the judge, ais over
the election Of a United States Sena-
tor. But can you say you have proof
that such a combination resulted IN
bad form OF government
Mr.. Bowers made the argument IN
opposition to the motion to strike out
the printing evidence. He read the let
tiers Of the plaintiff to Senator Platt
and Governor Roosevelt in 1899, show
ing that Barnes was anxious 10 get
printing and was working through the
State Printing BOARD TO get II. and
that Il state printing plant were es-
tablished he would be ruined financial
". Great stress was laid on the fact
that Ny. Barnes got a salary Of $4,000
a wear from James b. Lyon without do
ing any work just at the time the state
printing contracts were turned over 70
him.
Justice Andrews summed up the ar
gument in this way:

Justify the Jury in finding % that
there was corruption or waste IN re-
gard 20 the printing in Albany; ~
that the plaintiff knew the facts and
profited thereby: 80 that the plaintiff

situation by the use Of )htcal inhu-
cnce.

Mr.. Bowers tried 10 draw parallel
with the McKane case in Gravesend.
To this Mr. Wins replied:

Glass to show what a logician could
do who was writing for people who did
not care anything for logic. presume

Justice Andrews then ruled the print

SAYS BELLICERENTS
WANT WORLD COURT
John H. Hammond De
Clares Even Germany
Would Welcome 1t.

Cleveland, May H. The warning ma
tions of Europe are ready to join with
the neutral countries in accepting the
plan Of the World Court Congress,
which convenes here tomorrow, for an
international court of justice, John
Hays Hammond, chairman Of the con-
gress, declared to-day
Mr.. Hammond said that the con-
gress hoped to have its plan for an
international tribunal ready for ac-
ceptance by the powers, in principle at
least, before the end OF .hc present
war.
He added that subcommittee Of the
congress, after correspondence and
conversation with representative men
Of the European countries, reported
that the proposition was favored on all
sides and was almost certain OF ultl-
mate acceptance.
"And if this is the outcome" said
Mr.. Hammond, permanent peace will
be more than dream. for the plan OF
the World Court Congress calls for
CO. pulsory submission TO the court OF
all disputes. The weakness of The
Hague tribunal is that recourse 70 it is
optional"
Mr.. Hammond said there seemed to
be a popular belief that Germany did
not favor an international court of JUS
tice
This is wrong" he added. 81 will
read at the opening of the congress a
letter from Dr. Bernhard Dernburg,
sometimes referred to as Emperor
Williams unofficial spokesman in the
United States, which says emphatically
that Germany favors settlement of in
ternational disputes through suc\ a
channel"
The congress will make no formal
reference during It's threc-day session
to the sinking of the Lusitania and the
situation arising therefrom. The mat
ter may not receive even casual men,
ton. All speakers will be requested TO
avoid any reference which will give
the impression that the meeting is a
stop the-war movement or concerns
itself with the question of national de-
fence.
ave want TO do nothing that would
embarrass President wilson, ex-
planned Mr.. Hammond.
The congress will be attended by
many prominent men. Among those
who have accepted invitations to speak
are ex-President Taft, Judge Alton B.
Parker. Henry Clews, John Mitchell.
General Ballington Booth. John Wcs-
ley Hill. cambridge Colby. Rabbi Jo-
seph Silverman and Professor Samuel
7. Dutton.

GERMANS LAUNCH z
SUBMARINES WEEK
Hope Soon to Effect a
Complete Blockade of
Britain.
From TIE Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, May ll.-That Germany
is launching two submarines each week.
and expects to increase the efficiency
Of its submarine blockade until the per-
centage Of ships flying belligerent flags
which safely enter and leave British
ports is reduced to a negligible guam
ti,y. was learned to-day from source
close 10 the German Embassy.
At the beginning Of the war Ger
many had large number of sub
marines, though not so many as Ing
land. Since then, however, she has
been building them as rapidly as tney
can be turned out. Recently the faclli-
ties for building the "unterseeoote
were vastly increased.
The desire of the German Admiralty
is TO make the undersea blockade OF
the British Isles complete. The in
formation as TO the enormous subma-
rine building programme was provoke

diplomat. made in The Tribune on Sun
day. that il would be abso iutely impos-

every vessel torpedOed hundreds es-
capped and entered British ports, carry

The Germans frankly admit that this
is the case now, but claim that in a
very short time il will not be so. The
slowest part of the work in building up
a submarine feet sufficiently large to
torpedo every ship bound for the
British Isles that does not fly neutral
flag is said to be the training of the
men.
There is no shortage of available
men, il is asserted, and no shortage Of
men competent TO command the small
craft, or even TO discharge the tor

ENGLISH WANT ALL
GERMANS INTERNED
Protest Against Liberty to Enc.
mics More Vigorous Since De.
struction of Lusitania.
fDy cane 10 Tie Tribune

London. MAY H. There are approx
matelv 10000 Germans now at liberty
in London. and. while exact figures are
not available, it is authorItatively stated
that the Germans az liberty throughout
the country total $4,000. Undoubtedly
many of these men Of unquestioned
German birth and sympathies have re-
tanned their liberty because OF their
high nosition and social influence, and
some because OF their high position in
financial circles before the war.
Il is widely known that many Ger
mans have been extensively, though
quietly, entertained in circles of the
highest society since the war began.
and since August there has been a
strong undercurrent Of feeling on this
subject, which occasionally has found
vent through the press.
Now. however, since the sinking OF
tho Lusitania and the murder of hun
dreds of innocent women and children.
protest against this liberty to enemies
is taking vigorous form, with the
demand that all Germans be interned
and subjected 10 rigorous treatment
There probably will be questions in
Parliament on this subject tomorrow.
