Less than six months ago the factory
of the American Company was burned to

Cameron is authority for the statement
that ere long his destroyed plant Will
also be built anew. The factory which
was burned Tuesday night had been SRI

Many people visited the ruins yester-

at the factory. Some came prepared to
go to work, living at a distance and not
having learned about the holiday that
had been forced upon them.

Colonel Cameron said also yesterday:
'"rhe plant will be rebuilt as quickly
as possible. We have much work on

the endeavor to do so we will have to test

u. Chicago, May "a Washington special

the secretary Of war furnish a detailed
account of the expenses of the Philippine
government, coupled with the implication
that Secretary Root was withholding such
a statement because of the unparalleled
and reckless extravaganza therein con-
tanned, have had their effect. Mr. Root
states that he is preparing such q state
ment and that the delay is due to the fac,
that the conditions in the Philippines are
such that it is difficult to get all details
The house. committee on rules was
given resolution brought in by Repre-
sentative Hay of Virginia, calling upon
the secretary of war to furnish the infor,
nation. A similar resolution by the sen
ate, passed last December, has. beer
ignored. In excuse for this delay Mr.
Root pleads the difficulty Of the task ane
says that lump sums only can be giye1
and even these may not be correct, as il
is hard to keep accounts under the present
conditions. This statement will not sat

Cummins Forces. -
BRUCE HAD TO SUPPORT SMITH
Conservatives Wanted a Man for
Chairman Who Would Not -
'"-- stSIop Over" a.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. ~
Des Moines, Iowa, May 9.-The congress
sional delegation of Iowa and the old re-
publican machine scored an undoubted
triumph at the meeting of the republican
state central committee, when Congress-
man, Walter I. Smith of Council Bluffs was
elected temporary chairman of the con-
vention to Be held July 80. In his Sc
lection Governor Cummins and the Cum
Minis forces suffered setback though
to all outward seeming the meeting Of the
committee was one beautiful and con-
cordant piece of harmony and brotherly
love. +.
It has developed that secret arrange
ment had been effected for the selection
Of Congressman Smith,: Governor Cum
Minis wanted Senator Thomas D. Healy of
Fort Dodge. Representative N. 3. Ken
dali Of Monroe county would also have
been satisfactory to the Cummins men.
But the fine Italian hand Of the delega-
ton manipulated things to nicely. The
delegation did not want a man as tenn
porary chairman who would make a
speech such, for instance, as the one
Governor Cummins made at Minneapolis
recently. It was feared Kendall or Healy
might break from tradition and conserva-
tism and do something Of this kind. The
delegation cast about for man who was
conservative in the extreme and entirely
safe, at the same time an able orator
It alighted on Smith and then caused him
to be selected under the plea that this
being congressional year, the congression-
al delegation ought to be permitted tc
hold up the standard to be followed by the
party in the campaign.
The political merit of the arrangement
to take Smith was that inasmuch as he
is ninth districtEman, his selection
would insure the vote, of James E. Bruce
Of Anita, of that district. Bruce, though
regarded as Cummins man, could not
refuse to support Smith. and indeed non1i'
mated him before the committee.
Indications developed at the meeting
that Chairman Spence would not have
smooth sailing. for the Craftsmanship q
the committee next year, and that
strong effort would be made to unsea
him. At the recent meeting, Spence
| stood by the congressional delegation AMI
against the Cumrnins men who elect &c
| him. It is. too, early TO forecast wha
| fights there will be over elections to thu
committee. George c. Scott Of lie Mars
| Of the eleventh district, will be can
didate for re- selection, in spite of state
ments to the. contrary that have recent!
been made.
