An Importnnt Question.

Then Mr. Bowers put the most i'm
nortant question probably OF the after
noon, since II touched directly upon one
~ tho alleged libelous utterances
Did you In either of these cases
franchise tax or Paynl have any coz
versation with Mr.. Barnes I'm which the
question was discussed as to whether
they would be able to defeat tho action
you proposed by combination with
Democratic votes"'
Mr.. WINS made desperate fight to
throttle the topic, but Justice Andrews
permitted COL Roosevelt to answer and
the Colonel replied with zest
Gle, Barnes, said that | could not get
a successor TO Mr.. payn confirmed be
cause although the independent Re-
publicans would vote for a confirmation,
tlon Democrats would vote with or
ganization Republicans to support Mr.

Plat did that that would turn out TO be
the case, that would be beaten in the
effort to remove Mr., Payn."

on that subject with Mr.. Barnes" asked
Mr.. Bowers.

Barnes after talked with Senator

COLONEL TELLS OF FIGHT
TO KEEP LOU PAYN IN OFFICE

Mr.. bowers had extracted from his
ready witness enough for the time be-
ing about William Barnes on ones duty
TO corporations and turned to the sub
jcct of Lou Payn, Pawn Of Columbia,
who was Superintendent of Insurance
when Mr. Roosevelt became Governor
and whom Mr. Roosevelt was decidedly
ANXIOUS to hoavc out OF the adminis-
tration.
1t added further little touch NJ
drama to the afternoon when Francis
Hendricks, car OF onondaga. now In his
eighty-secoud year ana still spryer than
so, came unobtrusivcly into the court
room and sat against the wall under
col RooseNelts left shoulder.
II was Mr.. Hendricks, YOU may re-
call. who was named by GOV. Roosevelt
10 succeed payn. And they say up here
that Mr., Hendricks wouldn't be a hit
VeXed II Roosevelt won his case.
There was "A furry of questions and
objections of lawyers, chickering's through
which the vibrant voice of the Colonel
rang as he questioned this one and that
one, and finally Justice Andrews HIM
self framed the Introductory question
concerning Lou payn.
Were you considering the matter Of
not reappoiniing Mr.. Payn'" asked the
Justice.
That is correct" said the Colonel
Mr.. Barnes had several conversations
with me on the subject. Mr. Barnes OK
pressed disappointment with Pawn. hut
told me that Plat was the head of the
organization and must he backed up and
that PaNn must he rcappoinied.
II quote some of my conversation
with Mr.. Plat I'm which Mr. Flat said
that Mr., payn's relations with certain
of the big financial men were such that
he ought not TO be displaced and Mr..
Barnes said, in effect, that Mr. Fiat
was right and that | would have TO
stand by him"

several different occasions about mat
ters pending at Albany"
Nj. Wins asked here: you mean mat
ters that were pending before the Legis-
lature at Albany
Matters that were pending before the
Legislature at Albany or matters that
anne up the nomination OF Mir. Hughes.
for instance, said the Colonel
81 on one occasion said TO Mr.. Barnes
that my former race commissioner. Mr..
Belmont. had called upon me and stated
thai he had been a strong supporter Of
Mr.. Hughes for nomination and that he
was very much opposed TO the racetrack
legislation, and wanted 10 know II

lation and II could give him an oppor-

primarily upon the fact that such legs-
lation would destroy the breeding farms
for thoroughbreds in the United States
and giving mo of his own accord the
assurance that he would not countenance
any improper method OF opposing the
legislation and would withdraw from his
opposition II he became convinced that
such improper methods were used.

"Oh. I object" interrupted Mr.. wins
with an accent Of weariness. What has
the fact that Rough Riders moved along

Justice Andrews smiled and the Colo

"There was fight At Las Gussimas
