COURTHOUSE, SYRACUSE, N.
Y., April 23.—That J. P. Morgan, E.
H Harriman, H. C. Frick, Jacob
Schiff and other financiers gave hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to the
Republican campaign fund in 1904
was admitted this afternoon by Theo
dore Roosevelt. He denied that the
money brought about his election, or
brought anv favors to the givers from
his administration.
The colonel admitted that J. P.
Morgan, E. H. Harriman and several
^hers gave $100,000 each tf» the Re
publican fund.
• But I made It plain that such con
tributions should be made with no ob
ligation made or implied,” declared
Mr. Roosevelt.
The court adjourned late this after
noon until 10 a. m. Monday.
The colonel told of his first public
statement in 1907 that he would not
be a candidate for re-election. Also
he said he recommended William H.
Taft as his successor.
“Did v »u not think you were trying
to iniluence the convention?” asked
Ivins.
“No; it was only my preference,”
was the reply.
He admitted, though, the knowl
edge that a President’s preference
might have influence on delegates.
The Colonel was interested in
Barnes because he was trying to re
form him, according to R sevelt's
testimony under cross-examinatibn
by William M. Ivins to-day in Barnes’
$50,000 libel suit.
He believed Barnes above the aver
age politician morally, he said, and
he wanted to make Barnes a useful
citizen.
According to the Colonel, Mr.
Barnes was a Jekyl and Hyde and
he wanted to preserve Dr. Jekyl, but
Mr. Hyde absorbed him.
When Mr. Hyde got the upper hand
in 1911, the Colonel and Mr. Barnes
came to the parting of the ways. But
letters passed between Barnes and
Roosevelt in 18C3-1899 show' an ex
tremely friendly tone, and Roosevelt
admitted' that he entertained Mr.
Barnes and his wife in the White
House at Washington and the Execu
tive Mansion at Albany.
Mr. Roosevelt was still the hero of
the courtroom crowd, as he literally
fought his way out to luncheon w'hen
court recessed.
The morning session of the Colo
nel’s fourth day on the witness stand
was marked by frequent clashes with
Mr. Ivins.
Judge Rebukes Ivins.
Mr. Ivins sought at every turn to
confine the Colonel’s answers and won
for himself a stern rebuke from Jus
tice Andrews w'hen he demanded that

Arrests Widow of
Pastor as Slayer
WILLACOOCHEE, April 23.—Fol
lowing the funeral of the Rev. Allen
Haskins, of Leliaton, who w r as shot
Tuesday night while in bed holding
his child in his arms, the Sheriff of
Coffee County to-day arrested the
widow of the decaesed on a warrant
charging murder. The evidence seems
to be wholly circumstantial, but there
is a strong sentiment here against
her. The Coroner’s Jury returned a
verdict as follows:
“We, the jury, find that the de
ceased came to his death by a gun
shot wound by the hands of an un
known party.”

The Fulton County Grand Jury Fri
day held a lengthy conference with
county tax officials with the purpose
of bringing about a substantial reduc
tion this fall in the county tax rate,
through a material cut in Fulton's
enormous tax assessments,
The Grand Jury’s plans and recom
mendations will be incorporated in its
general presentments, to be returned
the latter part of next week to Judge
Ben H. Hill, in the Criminal Court.
Tax Collector Andy Stewart, Tax
Receiver T. M. Armistead and Clerk
Henry M. Wood, of the County Com
mission, were in conference with the
grand jurors, and gave their views at
length on the present tax situation
and the reforms, which the Grand
Jury is understood to have in con
templation for its recommendations.
May Lower Assessments.
From questions asked the officials
by the grand jurors, it was generally
believed Fulton’s annual tax digest of
$135,000,000 is considered entirely too
great and that the jurors will seek to
devise some plan whereby the assess
ments may be decreased. This would
bring about a material reduction in
the county tax rate, it was said.
The taking up by the Grand Jury of
the question of tax reforms aroused
great interest in courthouse circles,
and there was much speculation as to
the details of the plan of relief to be
proposed in the presentments.
It was demonstrated to the Grand
Jury by Collector Stewart that Fulton
County, on its digest of $135,000,000,
now pays one-seventh of the entire
taxes of the State. Fulton, he said,
pays more taxes that Chatham and
Bibb Counties combined. These coun
ties include the cities of Savannah
and Macon.
Fulton’s Auto Tax $20,000.
He also explained that the taxes
from only about fifteen counties are
sufficient to pay the running expenses
of these respective counties. He was
questioned as to the amount of Fulton
County’s automobile tax returned to
the county by the State. He esti
mated this return at about $800, while
the amount paid into the State Treas
ury by this county aggregates $20,000.
The questions by the jurors as to
the automobile tax led to the belief
that there may be some interesting
recommendations along this line.
Motor Messenger
Collides With Girl
Miss Gertrude Allen, a stenographer
in the employ of H. G. Hastings «%■
Co., Mitchell street, was knocked
down and painfully injured when
struck by a motorcycle as she was

up.
Miss Allen was taken to St. Jo
seph’s Infirmary in an automobile by
Karl W. Brittain, Assistant City Chief
of Construction, who drove up imme
diately after the accident. Miss Al
len was unable to get up and said she
was afraid she was seriously injured.
Mr. Brittain placed her in the tonneau
of his car and, at her request, took

Whitehall Repaving
To Be Done for Opera
The repavement of Whitehall street
over the viaduct Is to be completed
before grand opera week, Karl Brit
tain, Assistant City Chief of Con
struction, said Friday. The work Is
being rushed as rapidly as possible,
and, if it proves necessary, a force
will be put on the Job Sunday.
The street was torn up on the pe
tition of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company tor new tracks over
the viaduct. Under the franchise
contract, for which the city was paid
$50,000 w'hen the viaduct was built,
the city is required to keep up the
tracks. The city engineers estimate
the cost of the present repairs to be
approximately $6,750. The putting in
at the new rails was done by the
forces of the trolley company, but the
city will pay the bills.
Nagging Is Cruelty,
Georgia Judge Rules
MACON, April 23.—The flat rule
was laid down by Judge Parks in the
Jones Superior Court at Grays that
cruel treatment, sufficient to author
ize a divorce, as provided by the
Georgia law, may consist of mental
nagging and distress, as well as of
physical abuse,
The Judge charged a Jury that by
simply neglecting his wife a man may
treat her as cruelly as if he had beat
en her with a stick.
Clark Howell Heads
Dixie Highway Body
LOUISVILLE, April 23.—Clark
Howell, of Atlanta, was elected per
manent chairman of the Dixie High
way Commission this afternoon.
The Highway Commission, compris-
Dixie Highway Commission, compris
ing two representatives each from II.
linois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Ten
nessee, Georgia and Florida, convened
here to-day to organize. The com
mission was appointed by the Gov
ernors of the seven interested States
by authority vested in them at the
Chattanooga conference of Governors.
None of the Governors is present.
Governor McCreary of Kentucky stat
ing that It is thought best to avoid
any appearance of trying to Influence
the commission.
While the call sets forth the selec
tion of the highway, it is not likely
that this will be done at to-day’s ses
sion, but that a later meeting will
be held for this purpose.

ZEPPELINS
By HERBERT TEMPLE.
(European Manager Internationa!

that two Zeppelins are flying
over the Northumberland coast.
I By International New, Service.1
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, April
23.—An evening paper to-day
prints a dispatch saying that a
Montreal bank has received a
cable stating that a big naval bat
tle is raging in the North Sea.
LONDON, April 23.—England is
awaiting the developments of the next
twenty-four hours with outward calm,
but beneath the surface there Is an
element of anxiety that cannot be
concealed. Great operations in the
North Sea are believed by the naval
experts to be under way.
Traffic between England and Hol
land has been stopped by order of the
Government. ’ With only a few ex
ceptions, communication with ail the
east coast ports has been cut off.
These two developments, the naval
experts say, are evidence that a great
clash for sea mastery is Imminent, if
it has not already begun. While the
announcement In Berlin that British
submarines have invaded Heligoland
Bight was unconfirmed by the British
Admiralty this forenoon, It was gen
erally accepted as true.
Early in the war, Winston Spencer
Churchill, head of the Admiralty, said
that England would compel the Ger
man fleet to come out and fight. The
operations at Heligoland may be part
of the plan to smash the bottle that
has held.the German battleship squad
ron for many months.
Mr. Churchill returned to-day from
France, where he conferred with the
French Minister of Marine. While no
official statement has been issued as
to the subject under discussion by the
two men who are directing the naval
operations of the western Allies, it
is reported that they took up in detail
the North Sea situation and the Dar
danelles, laying plans for the most
stupendous naval operations the
world has ever witnessed.
These are said to Include arrange
ments for protecting the landing of
troops at four different points on the
Turkish coast other than Enos, which
is reported evacuated by the Turks
and occupied by soldiers of the Allies.
In some quarters the opinion was
expressed to-day that a decisive stage
of the war had ben reached. A dis
patch from Rotterdam states that the
German Government has forbidden
any one to leave Germany at present.
It Is believed that such a step would
have been taken only owing to the
fact that Germany is making plans
that must be guarded with the utmost
secrecy.
