CLUB WOMEN
 GET AT WORK
They Refuse At the Beginning 10 Take
 Up the Color Question.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 2.-The poli- tical feature of the club women's con ventiCn is the withdrawal tonight of Mrs. Robert J. Burdette of California from the presidential race. This as Sured the election of Mrs. Denison of New York to that office. with Mrs. Burdettes chances for the first vice presidency excellent.
 Following the morning session, when the attempt made by the Massachu- settS delegates to precipitate the color question fell flat, the club women took a recess to view the flower parade. Mrs. Lowe rode in victoria decorated by the Friday Morning club with 5000 pink roses, accompanied by Miss Lilly Fremont, daughter of the Pathfinder. and attended by eight outriders in white flannel. The ladies were attired in gray and carried parasols of the same shade.
 The afternoon session was devoted to two minute reports of the state presi- dents. who told of the practical work of their federations. Such an nouncements as the establishment of 800 free travelling libraries in Ohio and the opening of twenty rest rooms for farmers wives in Texas. precipitated so much applause that the presiding officer asked that it be suppressed in order to save time.

Washington. May "A lively debate was precipitated Iii the senate today by MT. Pritchard of North Carolina, by some remarks made on the political methods in North Carolina in the course Of the discussion of the Philip pines bill. MT. Simmons. also Of North Carolina. vigorously denied his colleagues assertions.
 The Rosebud Indian reservation bill. and the sundry civil bill were again considered. but not completed.
 When the Philippines government bill was laid before the senate MT. Plitchard of North Carolina addressed the senate in support of the measure. He declared that a majority of tha people of North Carolina and the south were in favor of the proposition of the majority of the Philippines committee. and he quoted the Charlotte Observer as a leading democratic paper of the south in support of the retention of th.' Philippines
 Does not the senator kHOW." inter rupted Nr. Simmons. that the Char lctte Observer opposed the election of William J. Bryan to the p~eside2cy?
 That is true" replied Pritchard. but the paper opposed him purely on Ill9 issue GI llGS SliNSI-
 Mir. Pritchard said he was in favor of the prompt and speedy punishment Of these guilty of cruelty in the Philip pines. but the charges had nothing C. du with this measure. which provided merely for a civil administration. If We retain the Philippine islands, said he. "as we will. the southern states will retain the bulk of the trade with the Philippines and the south will be the chiaf beneficiary Of the extension cf the ccttcn goods trade in the orient
 Mir. Pritchard declared frankly his belief that the United States ought to retain the islands perIua nently. H- asserted that the sand cure was used by the democrats in North Carolina on republicans. He said the republican voter was taken from his home at night and beaten, his face crushed into the sand to stife his cries.
 MT. Simmons declared that this was the first time he ever had heard 0f the sand cure
 Mir Pritc!1ard inquired if it were not a fact that organized bodies Of Red Shirts rode over the state of North Carolina for the purpose Of terrorizing republican voters.
 That organization (the Red Shirts). .'' replied Mi. Simmons. never had for its object any bellicose or belliserent purpose toward any part of the voters of North Carolina. It is merely an or ganiZation for more effectuaIly organ izing the voters Of the state" (Pro- longed laughter on the floor and in the Sallaries.)
 'Does my colleague say" inquired MT Pritchard. that the Red Shirts did not run through the state and ter rorize voters?''
 ''I state" declared Mr. Simmons. upon my authority as a senator and as chairman of the democratic eXecu- tive committee, that the stories of out rage committed by the Red Shirts are absolutely and utterly without founda- tion- l know of no outrage that can he traced to that organization.

cost of the Philippines soldiers aIohe The railroad accounts are often in the lump and the contracts having been made with one company it is not pos sible to follow the payments clear through to the sub-COntracting compa- Eies. In some cases, tOo. their supplies, furnished in Cuba, the United States or Alaska, were carried to China by nov ing regiments, and the reverse also was true. In the matter of the payment of troops Gan important factor in the cal culation of the actual cost of the Phil ippines soldiery, an indefinite element is injected by the method of making bi- monthly payments, so that moneys of ten were disbursed in the Philippines to troops for services rendered in the United States, Cuba or Alaska before their departure.
 The converse of the proposition also was true. The department knows ex- 3ctly where every cent of expenditure went and those figures are to be had through the auditor for the war depart ment, but the difficulty in the case is to show how the supplies and eXpen- ditures were distributed. Another point that further complicates the whole in tcrHoga tion is the requirement. of the law that the army shall be maintained at the minimum strength of 59.000 men. There is no such force in the United States now, but if the surplus were not in the Philippines, then the var de- partment would have to quarter and supply the men here, so that the item of expense on that one item would re- main constantly, regardless of the Philippines insurrection at least up to the total of 53.G60. and the question arises whether Secretary Root in his answer shall consider as expense at tributable to the Philippines trouble only the cost of maintaining the army strength above that figure.
Arizona republican., 1902-05-03

Washington, May 2.-Secretary Root is writing to Senator Culbersor an ex- planation of the reason why the gar department thus far has made 10 re- sponse to the senate resolution adopted April T., calling for an exact and de tailed statement of the cost of the war in the Philippines. This is in answer to criticisms made by certain sena- tors to the effect that the department was purposely suppressing information on the subject. The secretary will show that from the moment it was re- Ceived every one of the supply bureaus of the War department has been engag- ed in collecting material for the ln- swer. The secretary explained to Sen atOr CuiberSOn, as he thought, the great difficulties connected with colIec- ting the information he desired, and as it's compilation would require the services of a large part of the clerks in the department for considerable time the secretary did not feel justified in diVcrtin&y them from their necessary regular employment upon the request ot q single senator.
 As soon, however, as the United States senate, by resolution, called for the information, the entire machinery of the department was put in motion to meet the demand. The difficulties in the way of making satisfactory re- sponse were enormous, and in many in stances it was found actually impos- sible to answer specific questions hy approximate statements This is true notwithstanding the fact that every one of the depot and supply officers here and in the Philippines have bcer called upon whenever acquainted with any of the facts.
