THE THRIFTY HULL OF IOWA.

Washington, March 26. The Hon.
John A. T. Hull, of the Seventh con-
gressional district Of Iowa, is citizen
who, when he sees thing he wants,
does not hesitate to ask for it. Usually
he gets it. Mr.. Hull is chairman of the
House committee on military affairs.
He is friend of Speaker Henderson
and he is on the inside of that close cor
poration of so-called "leaders' of the
House, who, with the Speaker, practical
ly control all legislation in the lower
branch of the national legislature.
His position on the committee on mill
tary affairs in the nature of things,
brings him constantly in touch with
Secretary Root, the head of the war
department, and Adjutant General
Corbin, whose influence in the distribu-
ton of army patronage is second only to
that of the president. When the amend
ment to the army appropriation bill ad-
vancing the adjutant general of the
army from the grade of brigadier gener-
The Conservative, 1901-04-04

al to that of major general, came up in
the House last June, Mr.. Hull eloquence
was raised in tribute to General Corbin's
valuable services during the Spanish
American war. What was more effec-
tive, however, was the quiet work he
did on the floor in support of the amend
ment. 1t was finally passed. In the
light of what has since happened it
would appear Mr.. Hull's support of
General Corbin was inspired by the sub
stance of things hoped for.
A Son for Judge Advocate General.
When the Fifty-frst Iowa regiment
was mustered into the volunteer service
at the beginning of the war with Spain,
one of it's companies had as captain,
John A. Hull, Representative Hull's
son. Young Hull did not hold cap
tain's commission long, as he was given
staff appointment with the rank of
major. Later, on April II, 1899, he was
transferred to the judge advocate gen.
erals department and became lieuten-
ant colonel. When given his commits
sion he was but 23 years old. He served

1t is announced from Nebraska City
that the Argo starch works against
which fusion wrath was directed in
the campaign of 1900, will be doubled

this as splendid monument to Bryan
and Smyth's futile efforts to punish him
for his politics. s.-Fremont Tribune.

in the Philippines until few months
ago, when he was transferred to the
department of California. He has since
been at General Skaters headquarters
in San Francisco. Last Saturday, under
the operations of the army reorganiza-
ton act he was appointed a judge advo-
cate in the regular army, with the rank
of major. He is the youngest major in
the army and officers in Washington
who have estimated his chances of pro-
motion, say in the course of about fifteen
years he will become the judge advocate
general of the army. His appointment
and every step in his promotion were &C
complished by his fathers influence
with General Corbin. It was only
necessary for Mr.. Hull to ask these
things. So far as known he did not
hesitate to do this.
A year ago, and while Major Hull
was in the Philippines, the Philippine
Development and Lumber company was
organized, with capital Of five million
dollars, and with these officers: Repre-
sentative Hull, J. T. A., president John
