It was al ways the discussion of legislation an« appointments or nn effort t>y the Colo nel to obtain advice. Senator Platt, the Colonel said, haf frequently discussed with him th« I Vice-Presidential nomination, and hac advised ¡wn to take it. It was not du« to this advice, he insisted, that he hac accepted. «Early in February, 1PO0, wrote to Senator Plait : "I would a great deal rather he nnv thing, sav, professor of history', thar Viee-President."

I In giving this advice, the Colonel said to-day. he was working with th« best interest of New York City at heart. That Seth Low followed th* advice is indicated by a letter frorr Senator Platt to Roosevelt in which the "Ebst Boss" says of the interview with Mr. Low: "It wss in every way satisfactory." Even while Colonel Rooserelt ws« an editor of "The Outlook." his inti- macv with Mr. Barnes, of Albany, did not cease. "Can't you come in to see me at 'The Outlook" office." he wrote to Mr. Barnes on August 4, 1910. Break with Barnes In 1911.

DECLARES PLATT NOT AN EASY BOSS Roosevelt So Asserts in One of His Many Letters to the New York Senator. Syracuse, M. Y., April 27. The first letter read sfter Colonel Roosevelt re¬ sumed the stand to-day was from Sen¬ ator Platt to the Colonel, and was dated Washington, February t, 1900. In it the Senator agrtscd to postpone an en¬ gagement because of the illness of Mrs. Platt. The Senator also wrote: "Per¬ haps Henry Purroy would be a wise selection for the charter commission." Mr. Purroy, a Democrat, was sug- gested in a letter written by Colonel Roosevelt, read yesterday. Canal mat ters were discussed at length in this letter. The following letter written by flen- stör Platt, dated February 5, 1900, was lead: "1 have hardly had time to give the consideration it deserves to your letter rf February 1 and the matters involved therein, and am inclined to take more time for mature deliberation. The Vice-Presidential question is a very important one, and a great deal de¬ pend? upon it. "Mrs. Platt's condition is considera¬ bly improved, and it looks now as though I should he able to get to New York soon, at which time w-e can per¬ sonally discuss the Vice-Presidential and other questions." Prefers "Professor of History." This reply from Colonel Roosevelt, dated February 7, 19»if>, was rend: "Your very kind note ha? .i'.itt been received. I note that you expict to be in New York Saturday. If so, I »hall not try to lunch with you, but ¡I \enient I will call on you at the Fifth Avenue Hotel at I p. m. . Will you wire me on receipt of this note" "P. S. I saw Kerens and told him I had written to you that I would not tiike the Vice-Presidency, but that I waiitc,1 nothing said until I had ai chance to talk matters over with you. I would a great deal rather be any¬ thing, say. professor of history, than Vice-President." A letter »r tten to Platt by the Colo¬ nel on February IT, li'oO, was In part as foil "This year we have two Barren Isl¬ and bills which are eminently con- senativo an«! proper. Tammany, how¬ ever, under the leadership of Senator Grady, il endeavoring to defeat these measures in the Senate, and I think they are bills which the organization could very pronerly take hold of, and which ought to pass for the benefit of the people adjacent to Barren Island, and, in fact, for the benefit of the people o*' the city New York, generally. Will \ou not communicate with Mr. Odcll on this subnet at once? "In this Barren Island legislation I have merely been carrying out the promise I made you." Platt on Barren Island Nuisance. On February 2S, 1900, Senator Platt wrote in part as follow»: "1 am in receipt of yours of the 27th relating to the Barren Island ques- tion. You will remember that I irai the one who was most importunate « th >ou on the question of abating the nuisance, and was very fearful that we delays we might encounter just what we hav now united opposition on the part of the Democrats. The truth of it ii that the men who are re¬ ceiving her .'tits from that Barren Island business are high Rachems of Tammany Hall, and will do everything in their power to continue their eflcial existence. Perhaps it is no wonder that our friend, Judge Cohen, is in the forefront, as he was before advocating retention. "I will telegraph Odell at once and urge him to line up the Republican forces unitedly in favor of the bill. It you can find that any further en- deavors are necessary on my part I shall be only too fiad te carry out any j advice or ¡suggestion in this behalf." | On April 1«^ 1900., Colonel Koose- volt wrote thia to Senator Platt: "I venture to recall to you that was to name one of these appoint.es probably either Wilson or Shea." In the next letter Colonel Rooscvel discu«sed legislativo matter« and thi commission which was appointed to re vise the New York City charter. "Depew Very Arulous." Then this telegram, dated May 7 l!>nn, from Senator Platt to Colone Roosevelt «vas read: "Our friend» of the New York Cen tral are very anxious to have yon sigr ..senate bill 761, exempting; from th« franchisa tax grade crossing« of «tearc railroada«. I hope you can consistently, do »o. Senator Depew is very anx ious." The following: tfis Colonel Roose \elt*s reply: "I received your telegram and one from Ford yesterday. It wa« too late for me to act, as I had already pub¬ lished a memorandum stating not merely tfhat Ford wa.« against the bill, but that the State Tax Commissioner.» onposrd the bill. . . "I did not receive vour telegram un¬ til yesterday 'Sunday». It was then altogether too late to get at the com- mission and again go over the matter s«:'ii them. I am exceeilinglv sorry if anv hardship has been caused either to the New York Central or the Long Islam! Railroad, but it was a matter where I really had to act according to the advice of the commission, unies» it could be shown that they were in the wrong." Quigg Shies at Roosevelt. On May 15, 1900, Senator Platt sent to Colonel Roosevelt a letter he had received from Lemuel K. Quigg, which read in part: "I have been thinking over yonr statement that Governor Roosevelt told you that the President had suggested to him that he go on the committee on resolutions at Philadelphia. I re- peal "ii.it said to you, that I am quit« willing to stand aside for the Gov¬ ernor. But the more I think of it the more I am convinced that he ought not to take the responsibility of serving on this committee New York's repre- sentatise. "There will be «everal 'roublesome problems before the committee on res¬ olutions, and there is no reason why cur candidate for Governor should be held personally responsible in the cam¬ paign for the precise language of the platform. Take, for instance, the sub¬ ject Of trusts an<l the subject of Boer resolutions. It may be assumed that sve are not coing to adopt any «lerna- gogic declarations on these matter«, but whatever the platform savs. if Roosevelt is on the committee as New York's representative, e cry Demo- cratic newspaper in the .«tnte will be Iriding to know whv this was not done and why that wns done." In a letter date«! three davs later Colonel Hoosevelt returned Mr. Qnigg's loiter to Senator Platt, writing: "The thins has eone so far that would be wise to have Mr. Quigg kept on the committee. I would like to talk over some resolutions with you and Mr. Quigg." «in June 2S, 1900, Senator Platt wrote on the stationery of the office of the lent of the United States Kxpress Company. He discussed the "case of ¡I Greene," and promised to do turbal he cou!«l for Greene. A fef» (lass later Colonel Roosevelt ».«»M.^..<.«... thanked Senator Tlatt for hi» in«« i», «,«lierai Greene, who about time was seeking an appointnien Governor General of the Philippin« Intercedes for Hrockway. On July -»>, 1900, Senator Plstt w: in part, this letter: "I« there any real good reason Mr. Brorkway should be removed I the superintendency of the Klnnra formatorv? The most I know .The World' and 'The lierai«! pressing for this man's scalp. I I that on previous occasions 'The was actuated simply by malicious tives, snd I presume it is so at time. "However, what I wish to know there wss anv good reason why thing should be held open until a .election. It seems that the board a.«ke,l for Mr. Bmckway's resigna on the ,11st of July. I «lo not wan Interfere with equal and exact jus for every one. but I «lid not wish to any one railroaded out of office bee« 'The World' says he must go." In reRly Colonel Koosevelt wrote: "Seth Low, Albert Shaw and a wl raft of other friend« of Broehwi have been writing on his account, If 1 could have held the thing u would have. The board, however, il deadly earnest. 'The Herald' and. World1 have nothing to do with tr «I...n.es excepi that they have repen ¦Ome things that have leaked out 1 after the board had taken «Mtiofl them. I am afraid nothing can be d in Urockway's case." The Colonel wrote Senator PI from Chicago on October 7, 1900, a ter in which he said: "We have had great fun on this t though the work has been very WS ing. I think I cm ay that the t has been a successful one so fur." Platt Not an Kasy Ross. On December d, 1900, Colonel Ron velt télégraphe«! to the Senator: . "Am greatly concerned because Ch ter Commission has arranged lui for myself and Odell next Wednesd this being only day they could get tl would suit us both. Do you really gard it as important for me to con Can't Woodruff take my place? D, President really expect me?" m nator Platt, in reply, telegrapl Colonel Roosevelt: "Think your absence from meeti 'of commission will be deplored by I President and the other governo [Meeting of Charter Commission see to me should be secondary. Let th, postpone." Then Colonel Roosevelt telegraph« "All rieht. In view of >our seco telegram I will come, but you are r an easy boss." In a tter written from the Vi, President's chamber Colonel Roorev sawl: "If the chance conies along, will y not keep my old friend, Mr. Jose Murray, in mind?" Senator Platt replied to this: "The one thing winch you ask of i is one of the worst problems possib Murray was removed from tie ofi which he had tilled for two or thr years for inefficiency. He never we I to Albany except to draw his pay. I did not. imagine you would indorse man so highly who was not wortl . I tell you this history, course, in »onfidence, trusting that will not use it." Platt Ready to Grant Favors. On April 11, 1001, Senator Pia wrote Viee-President Roosevelt th they might ask any favors and 1 Platt) would try to grant them. Colonel Roosevelt was apparent trying to find a position for T. St. Joli Gaffnoy under Wilbur F. Wakemai Federal Appraiser at New York. Sei Platt said Gaffney had no chanc while Wakeman was in office, but thi he i Plat11 wanted to have Wakema removed. He s..id President McKinle would not consider a change unless suitable man could be found. Plat said he would see the President abou removing Wakeman when he returne from a trip West. <>n November 1«, 1901, the Colone wrote his first letter on White Hous stationery. Subsequent letters by Sen ator Platt were addressed to "My Dca Mr. President." On November 16 Senator Platt wrote "I had supposed you wanted me to con fer with Seth Low Mayor-elect o New York) about the makeup of hi: Low's cabinet." Three days later President Roose velt wrote to the Senator that he hac advised Mr. Low about seeing Senatoi Platt. The next letter written by Senator Platt told of holding a "satisfactory' meeting with the Mayor-elect. On December 1«, 1903, President Roosevelt wrote: ¡ "Many thanks for your note about George Cabot Ward. I think I can place him." LETTERS SHOW DECLINING AMITY Syracuse, N. Y. April 27. -Colonel R«,osevelt began to break away from William Barnes when the idea began to take shape in his head that he wanted to be President agi-.in to succeed Presi¬ dent Taft. That is what William ... lvins, coun.-c] for Mr. Barnes, tried to bring out to day when he read to the jury a number of letters that passed between the two this afternoon. The earliest of these letters was dated shortly sfter the Colonel had become VIce-President, in 1901, and the latest on August 4. 1910.

Colonel Twice Protested. "N'n-.v, my dear Barnes," wrote 1 Colonel on July R, 1910, after Ins turn from Africa, "my purpos«- li¬ to arouse resentment in every locali against the men who have been doii the work in the organization."

The Coli,nel soon realized that tl power of himself and his friends in tl organization had been short lived ar t fiitt, Mr. Barnes was again in the fs< die. He tried, lie decl.tred, to get.

On the other hand, the Coioni showed the utmost cordiality, almo; I always starting his communication ".My Hear Barnes." Barnes Champions Hamm. «>n January 3, 1904, Mr. Barne wrote to President Roosevelt as fo! . lows: "The city of Albany, with the es eeption of the selection of your privat - rotary, has received no Presidentii nppointment since President .McKinle aras inaugurated, OUtsid« of thos whose offices are located in thi« cu\ One of our most earnest Republicans a man v ho has held the offic« of Com «mer of Public Safety in thi city, a gentleman and lawyer by pro "ii, Mr. Friil C.

I have watched for a number o1 '.ear« the development of men like Mr. Murphy and li's friends, and they have great rapacities for dividing the offices befrre election. I have great faith that during the next few months they will make serious blunders." President Roosevelt replied under date of January lj, 1901, as follows: Personal) "I thank you cordially for your let- ter of recent date and svas interested in nil you wrote. Afl regards Colonel Hamm, I think very highly of him, and should an opportunity arise I shall be glii'l to see if something cannot be :'or him. At privent, however, I am trying to place Captain Laudreth, nnd until he is provided for I am un- able fo give any definite promise as to what I ran do in the matter. "It was delightful having^ Mrs. Barnes and you here at «linner." On May 2, 1901, .-resident Roosevelt wrote: "My Dear Mr, Barnes: It seems almost impossible to explain even the moHt» obvious fact at certain times. I have no power to select Mr. O'Brien. The commission selects him. If you have any acquaintance at all with that commission you will understand when I f,ay they select him. I mean that neither I nor any one else could die* late their choice. I strongly recom¬ mended Mr. O'Brien ta them. I have been given to understand that they j havo detnitely refused ti*> consider his name for the position. You have probably noticed that I offered O'Briea the Sanio Domingo mission, which he did ftot feel he could accept," On September 2*5, 1901, Près id n' Roosevelt wrote "My Dear Mr. Barnes: I shall writ« Governor Odell in reference to the re¬ quest of John T. McDonough's friends that he be nominated to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Hernck. It seems to me from every standpoint that this would be u proper and desirable thing to do. McDnnough did well as a judge in the Philippines. He performed his duties as Secretary of State of New York excellently. He is a Catholic of Irish descent, but as an American citizen no less than as a public officer he has shown that he | knows no discrimination between Catholics and Protestants. The wag'* earner would have the utmost confi¬ dence in him, and he has always shown himself to be a safe and conservative man. I feel that his nomination at this time would be a very good thing nil around." Again, on November 9, 1904: "My Dear Mr. Barnes¡ Pray let me thank you most cordially and warmly for what you have done in this elec¬ tion, which I appreciate to the full. With regards to Mrs. Barnes, believe me." etc. On November lfi, seven days later. Mr. Barnes wrote to President Roose¬ velt: "Permit me to thank you for your cordial expression relative to the work done during the campaign. W" were especially gratified here in Albany be¬ cause the nomination of Mr. Herrick united the Democracy, and we were compelled to fight alone, which we had not for some time in the past. At that we gave you o,300 majority, only 200 short of the nominal Odell vote in 1003, because of a Democratic split."

I Vice-Presidential nomination, and hacadvised ¡wn to take it. It was not du«to this advice, he insisted, that he hacaccepted. «Early in February, 1PO0, h«wrote to Senator Plait :

"I would a great deal rather he nnv

thing, sav, professor of history', tharViee-President."Not onlv did Colonel Roosevelt hob¬

nob with the "Kasy Boss." who, he ad-nv'ed was largely rcsnonsible for hiipleasurable term as Governor, but soorafter the election of 1!*01 he adviseeMayor-elect Low to do likewise.

I In giving this advice, the Colonelsaid to-day. he was working with th«best interest of New York City atheart. That Seth Low followed th*advice is indicated by a letter frorrSenator Platt to Roosevelt in whichthe "Ebst Boss" says of the interviewwith Mr. Low: "It wss in every waysatisfactory."

Even while Colonel Rooserelt ws«

an editor of "The Outlook." his inti-macv with Mr. Barnes, of Albany, didnot cease.

"Can't you come in to see me at 'TheOutlook" office." he wrote to Mr. Barneson August 4, 1910.

Break with Barnes In 1911.

Their friendship was not sundered,nor did he entirely gi\e up hope ofexorcising the Mr. Hvde from his Will«iam Barnes, until after February 14,1911. Once he had decided that thistask was hopeless, however, he made

I r.o effort to conceal his position.By means of photographs of news¬

paper rages. Mr. Ivins introduced sev-eral of the statements made by ( olonelRoosevelt after that date about Mr.Barnes and his Ilk. Although the in¬troduction of this evidence was prosyenough, it brought out the first sign ofactive interest from the jury. WalterJ. Zulle, a Progressive, who occupiedthe third seat In the jury box, wantedto be sure that all the articles were In¬troduced for the same purpose to showthe regard in which Colonel Rooseveltheld Mr. Barnes at the time the state¬ments were printed. Justice Andrewsreplied that they were.-

Comparatively few questions were

asked of the Colonel. All day he heldthe witness stand and yawned, andr-ighed, Bnd looked disgusted. Not aword of the "root of righteousness,"

DECLARES PLATTNOT AN EASY BOSS

Roosevelt So Asserts in One ofHis Many Letters to the

New York Senator.Syracuse, M. Y., April 27. The first

letter read sfter Colonel Roosevelt re¬

sumed the stand to-day was from Sen¬ator Platt to the Colonel, and was datedWashington, February t, 1900. In itthe Senator agrtscd to postpone an en¬

gagement because of the illness of Mrs.Platt. The Senator also wrote: "Per¬haps Henry Purroy would be a wiseselection for the charter commission."

Mr. Purroy, a Democrat, was sug-gested in a letter written by ColonelRoosevelt, read yesterday. Canal mat

ters were discussed at length in thisletter.The following letter written by flen-

stör Platt, dated February 5, 1900, waslead:

"1 have hardly had time to give theconsideration it deserves to your letterrf February 1 and the matters involvedtherein, and am inclined to take moretime for mature deliberation. TheVice-Presidential question is a veryimportant one, and a great deal de¬pend? upon it.

"Mrs. Platt's condition is considera¬bly improved, and it looks now as

though I should he able to get to NewYork soon, at which time w-e can per¬sonally discuss the Vice-Presidentialand other questions."

Prefers "Professor of History."This reply from Colonel Roosevelt,

dated February 7, 19»if>, was rend:"Your very kind note ha? .i'.itt been

received. I note that you expict to bein New York Saturday. If so, I »hallnot try to lunch with you, but ¡I\enient I will call on you at the FifthAvenue Hotel at I p. m. . Willyou wire me on receipt of this note"

"P. S. I saw Kerens and told him Ihad written to you that I would nottiike the Vice-Presidency, but that Iwaiitc,1 nothing said until I had aichance to talk matters over with you.I would a great deal rather be any¬thing, say. professor of history, thanVice-President."A letter »r tten to Platt by the Colo¬

nel on February IT, li'oO, was In partas foil

"This year we have two Barren Isl¬and bills which are eminently con-senativo an«! proper. Tammany, how¬ever, under the leadership of SenatorGrady, il endeavoring to defeat thesemeasures in the Senate, and I think theyare bills which the organization couldvery pronerly take hold of, and whichought to pass for the benefit of thepeople adjacent to Barren Island, and,in fact, for the benefit of the people o*'the city New York, generally. Will\ou not communicate with Mr. Odcllon this subnet at once?

"In this Barren Island legislation Ihave merely been carrying out thepromise I made you."

Platt on Barren Island Nuisance.On February 2S, 1900, Senator Platt

wrote in part as follow»:"1 am in receipt of yours of the 27th

relating to the Barren Island ques-tion. You will remember that I iraithe one who was most importunate« th >ou on the question of abatingthe nuisance, and was very fearful that

we delays we might encounter justwhat we hav now united oppositionon the part of the Democrats. Thetruth of it ii that the men who are re¬ceiving her .'tits from that BarrenIsland business are high Rachems ofTammany Hall, and will do everythingin their power to continue their eflcialexistence. Perhaps it is no wonderthat our friend, Judge Cohen, is in theforefront, as he was before advocatingretention.

"I will telegraph Odell at once andurge him to line up the Republicanforces unitedly in favor of the bill.It you can find that any further en-deavors are necessary on my part Ishall be only too fiad te carry out any

j advice or ¡suggestion in this behalf."| On April 1«^ 1900., Colonel Koose-

volt wrote thia to Senator Platt:"I venture to recall to you that

was to name one of these appoint.esprobably either Wilson or Shea."

In the next letter Colonel Rooscveldiscu«sed legislativo matter« and thicommission which was appointed to re

vise the New York City charter.

"Depew Very Arulous."Then this telegram, dated May 7

l!>nn, from Senator Platt to ColoneRoosevelt «vas read:"Our friend» of the New York Cen

tral are very anxious to have yon sigr..senate bill 761, exempting; from th«franchisa tax grade crossing« of «tearcrailroada«. I hope you can consistently,do »o. Senator Depew is very anx

ious."The following: tfis Colonel Roose

\elt*s reply:"I received your telegram and one

from Ford yesterday. It wa« too latefor me to act, as I had already pub¬lished a memorandum stating notmerely tfhat Ford wa.« against the bill,but that the State Tax Commissioner.»onposrd the bill. . .

"I did not receive vour telegram un¬til yesterday 'Sunday». It was thenaltogether too late to get at the com-

mission and again go over the matters«:'ii them. I am exceeilinglv sorry ifanv hardship has been caused eitherto the New York Central or the LongIslam! Railroad, but it was a matterwhere I really had to act according tothe advice of the commission, unies» itcould be shown that they were in thewrong."

Quigg Shies at Roosevelt.On May 15, 1900, Senator Platt sent

to Colonel Roosevelt a letter he hadreceived from Lemuel K. Quigg, whichread in part:

"I have been thinking over yonrstatement that Governor Roosevelt toldyou that the President had suggestedto him that he go on the committeeon resolutions at Philadelphia. I re-

peal "ii.it said to you, that I am quit«willing to stand aside for the Gov¬ernor. But the more I think of it themore I am convinced that he ought notto take the responsibility of serving on

this committee a» New York's repre-sentatise."There will be «everal 'roublesome

problems before the committee on res¬

olutions, and there is no reason whycur candidate for Governor should beheld personally responsible in the cam¬

paign for the precise language of theplatform. Take, for instance, the sub¬ject Of trusts an<l the subject of Boerresolutions. It may be assumed thatsve are not coing to adopt any «lerna-gogic declarations on these matter«,but whatever the platform savs. ifRoosevelt is on the committee as NewYork's representative, e cry Demo-cratic newspaper in the .«tnte will be

Iriding to know whv this was notdone and why that wns done."

In a letter date«! three davs laterColonel Hoosevelt returned Mr. Qnigg'sloiter to Senator Platt, writing:"The thins has eone so far that i»

would be wise to have Mr. Quigg kepton the committee. I would like to talkover some resolutions with you andMr. Quigg."

«in June 2S, 1900, Senator Platt wroteon the stationery of the office of the

lent of the United States KxpressCompany. He discussed the "case of

¡I Greene," and promised to doturbal he cou!«l for Greene.A fef» (lass later Colonel Roosevelt

President's chamber Colonel Roorevsawl:

Platt Ready to Grant Favors.On April 11, 1001, Senator Pia

wrote Viee-President Roosevelt ththey might ask any favors and 1Platt) would try to grant them.Colonel Roosevelt was apparent

trying to find a position for T. St. JoliGaffnoy under Wilbur F. WakemaiFederal Appraiser at New York. Sei

Platt said Gaffney had no chancwhile Wakeman was in office, but thihe i Plat11 wanted to have Wakemaremoved. He s..id President McKinlewould not consider a change unlesssuitable man could be found. Platsaid he would see the President abouremoving Wakeman when he returnefrom a trip West.

<>n November 1«, 1901, the Colonewrote his first letter on White Housstationery. Subsequent letters by Senator Platt were addressed to "My DcaMr. President."On November 16 Senator Platt wrote

"I had supposed you wanted me to confer with Seth Low Mayor-elect o

New York) about the makeup of hi:Low's cabinet."Three days later President Roose

velt wrote to the Senator that he hacadvised Mr. Low about seeing SenatoiPlatt.

The next letter written by SenatorPlatt told of holding a "satisfactory'meeting with the Mayor-elect.On December 1«, 1903, President

President Roosevelt replied underdate of January lj, 1901, as follows:

wrote:"My Dear Mr, Barnes: It seems

almost impossible to explain even themoHt» obvious fact at certain times. Ihave no power to select Mr. O'Brien.The commission selects him. If youhave any acquaintance at all with thatcommission you will understand whenI f,ay they select him. I mean thatneither I nor any one else could die*late their choice. I strongly recom¬

Roosevelt wrote"My Dear Mr. Barnes: I shall writ«

quest of John T. McDonough's friendsthat he be nominated to fill the vacancycreated by the resignation of JudgeHernck.

an American citizen no less than as a

Again, on November 9, 1904:"My Dear Mr. Barnes¡ Pray let me
