BARNES-ROOSEVELT
LIBEL SUIT IS ENDED
Albany Leader Drops Appeal
and Pays 81 ZOO Costs.
Specid, Despatch TO THE SUI.

SYRACUSE, May 16.--As the result OF
n meeting to-day between ,~o attorneys,
William l.. Barnum or this city and
William II. Van Benschoten of New
York. 1nis Will be written in the SUI
preme Court tomorrow to the historic
Barnes Roosevelt libel suit. tried In this
city few years ago.
Judgment for s1.70O costs was salts
ned here to-day by Mr.. Barnes through
his counsel.
Two orders will be asked and granted
by Justice William VI. Ross in Special
Term tomorrow. The first order will
substitute the executors of Col Roose-
Welt as defendants Ia the libel action
The second will discontinue the appta
which was taken by the Albany politi-
clan when the jury here found for the
former President. The costs at the time
we're assessed upon the plaintiff. but the
appeal served to delay the satisfying or
tho Judgment.
Three of the chief figures in the cele-
brated libel suit which stirred the entire
country are now -dead-Col. Roosevelt,
J. NJ. Bowers. his chief counsel. and
William NJ. WINS, who appeared for Mr..
Barnes. Mr.. Ivins's death. July 20,
1915, followed an almost complete break
down, which was credited to his extreme
concentration on the case.
From the time the suit was begun in
the winter Of 1914, until the jury de-
cided against Mr.. Barnes on May %,
1915, Mr.. WINS devoted himself to II
with his characteristic vigor. 1mmedi-
ately after the verdict was returned he
failed steadily until his death.
Mr.. Bowers, who was chosen by Col.
Roosevelt TO conduct his defence, despite
the fact that he had been lifelong
Democrat, was Ill only a week when he
died of heart failure March Z. 1918. He
was one Of the oldest members of the
Bar Association. Col. Roosevelt's death

S25, 900 FIRE LOSS
AT BARNES CITY
Early Morning Blaze Sweeps Row Of
Frame Business Buildinss-valuabIe
Stock Of Merchandise Destroyed
Loss Of $4,000 Partially Insured.
Special to Times Republican.

Montezuma, Feb. 4.--Barnes City
had a. s25 900 fire early yesterday
morning which cleaned out a row Of
frame business buildings The fire was
discovered about o'clock on the out
side of shed attached to the general
store operated by Fred Williams. In
side the shed there were somc oils and
the woodwork was saturated with oil.
which caused the fire to spread rapid
ly. Had a supply of water been at
hand the fire could have been extin-
guished but the town has no protec-
ton and by the time the alarm was
given and help was at hand the fire
had made such headway that il was
difficult to recover the goods from the
building. Nevertheless It Is estimated
that about $1,000 worth OF goods were
removed from the store. The build
ing was worth $4,000 and it may be
there was S1.750 insurance on It. The
stock was worth close to $4,000. with
only $3.50 insurance. The Masons
owned the upper floor of the building
and lost all the fixtures. They had
$3.50 insurance. which will not cover
their loss.
The fire then took vacant build
ing belonging to Bailey Evans. then
another building belonging to Evans.
and then a building belonging to
Lamond &. Williams. which was occu-
pied by J. w. Samuele as a residence
and restaurant. and then another small
unoccupied frame building. This
brought it to the two story brick
garage. which had all tho windows on
the second floor unprotected. The
woodwork of ali the windows was
burned out but the building was
saved The insurance will not cover
the losses.
Across the street the plate glass
windows Of both banks the postoffice
and the Joseph Bros. store werA shat
tered by the heat.
While the cause Of the fire is not
Known the sentiment is that It was the
work Of an incendiary and the loca-
ton OF the first blaze. the hour and
other conditions would seem to con-
firm the suspicion.
It is already planned for the Masons
and others interested to erect mod.
ern building upon the old site.

TBy Associated Prese.1

Archangel, Feb. 3.-Advices to the
allied intelligence department reveal
some Of the methods by which the boil
shevists have been able to organize
| their army in such a way as to make
possible the carrying on of strong
campaign in northern Russia.
The principle Of these methods, ac-
cording to information received from
| the interior, lies in compelling the
generals and staff officers in the old
Russian army to serve the bolshevists
by holding their families as hostages
for the officers conduct. Cases have
occurred OF officers families being
placed under close arrest the women
being treated as badly as the men.
The position of former Russian ofti-
GERS in the ranks of the soviet army IA
extremely difficult. They occupy posts
as commanding officers and are trust
ed in all technical matters, but in re-
gard to everything else are under
constant suspicion and are controlled
by the bolshecvist commissioners who
are permanently attached to the army
and even control the carrying out Of
operations.
Under Constant Threat. u
Leon Trotzky. the bolshevist min
lister Of war and marine. has issued an
order that families Of officers who de-
sert to the allies are to be held re-
sponsible and are to be prosecuted in
some cases. Military experts who
have been forced to serve the boil
shevists Include some Of the best men
in field tactics to be found in Russia
| General mobilization OF soldiers. in
all districts is being vigorously car
ried out and all attempts to avoid
service are being severely dealt with.
The training of the bolshevist army
is being aided by special schools Of
instruction at Petrograd and Moscow
for all noncommissioned officers and
men belonging to the bolshevist party.
Generally the army is growing strong
er and altho the new, troops are far
from being reliable. they nevertheless,
owing to the severe methods which
have been adopted form the main
strength of bolshevist power.
1t is stated this apparent increase in
military strength has been taken by
many to indicate that bolshevist ideas
are gaining favor with the popula-
ton. but this IS by no means true.
The majority Of their people are anti
bolshevists but are afraid to express
their opinions. The entire strength Of
the bolshevists. it is averred, rests on
their institution of red terror.
