SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF HOUSE
IN REPORT RETURNS WHITE.
WASH FOR coNGREssMEN
AND PRESS AssAILED
SAYS HE WAS USED
AS AN INSTRUMENT
CONGRESSMAN LiLLEY HELD TO
BE ACTING AS TOOL OF RIVAL
COMPANY AND is ALSO AccUs-
ED OF BAD FAITH

Washington, May 2o.-That Repre-
sentative George L. Lilley of Connecti-
cut was not warranted in bringing
charges against certain Of his col
leagues in the house and accredited
members OF the press is the conclu-
sion reached by special committee
who investigated the methods employ
ed by the Electric Boat company of
new Jersey in connection with legis-
lation before congress.
NO Proof Against Accused.
In an exhaustive report submitted
to the house today Chairman Boutell
and his colleagues review the testi-
mony brought out before the commit
tee in the hearings extending over
several weeks and declare with entire
unantmity that no member of the
house and no member Of the press
nave been induced by offers from the
Electric Boat, company to act from
corrupt Or improper motives.
Charges Bad Faith to LiIIey.
Furthermore the committee finds
that Lilley allowed himself to be used
as the instrument of the Lake Boat
company In questioning the integrity

tigating committee and in attacking
the competent submarine company.

ing an attitude of bad faith both in
bringing the charges and in conceal

.CUMMINS out
FOR PR0UTY
GOVERNOR FAvoRs DEs MONIES
MAN FOR CONGRESS AS
AGAINST HULL.

Des Moines, May 20.-Gov. Cummins
has caused considerable commotion
In district political circles by making
the formal announcement that he fav-
ors the nomination Of Judge s.. r.
Prouty Of this city for congress as
against Capt. ]. A. T. Hull who Is a
candidate for reelection.
The announcement was great sur
prise to most politicians in the dis
trtcts, and the feet Is profile
mattcal Friends Of Hull claim
Cummisn will not be able tc
run the Hull men among his sup
porters to Prouty and that if the lines
be drawn on congressman 1t will cost
Cummins thousands Of votes for Uni
ted States senator in the district II
was charged in the Cummins- Perkins
contest that Hull entered into an
agreement not to fight Cummins
though the Seventh district congress
man was classed with the standpat-
ters.
Action Ends So-calIed Truce.
In 1901, when Cummins won his
first victory for governor. Hull. though
important to oppose Cummins, took q
trip to the Philippines. The governor
on his part, never openly opposed Eii
before, though four years ago, when
Judge Prouty first made a canvass
against Hull, he was charged with
giving sug rose assistance to Prouty
Many standpatters in the Cummins-
Perkins contest charged Hull with en-
tering into an agreement with the
governor and now that Cummins
openly has espoused the cause of his
opponent do not hesitate to express
satisfaction over the situation. They
say they do not want Hull beaten, but
believe he should be punished for his
desertion of the stand pat cause two
years ago.
1t is generally conceded Cummins will
carry Polk county for United States
senator by $500 majority, while the
remainder of the district will be about
a standoff.
Effect is ProbIematicaI.
HulTs popularity in Des Moines
though he was classed as a standpat-
ter, It was expected, would enable him
to carry the county and district by a
fair majority. $50 the question which
puzzles his friends now is the effect
of the attempt of Cummins to line ur
the progressives in Polk to support
Prouty
Hull will reach here from Washing
ton on Thursday and will go into the
campaign vigorously. His friends
claim for him the united support OF
the business interests Of Des Moines
and say he will win despite the efforts
Of the Cunmins organization. The
fight will be hot one, but whichever
candidate carries Polk county will
carry the district

Washington, !, d. C., May 20. - At
the present time, when so much dis
cussion is current relative to the es-
tablishing of permanent United
States embassies abroad. it is inter-
esting to know what other countries
are doing toward this end. The beau
tiful British embassy on the north
west corner of Connecticut avenue
and N street, which is the home of
the British ambassador, James Bryce,
furnishes a good example for the
United States. The British embassy is
maintained permanently by the Brit
ish government and is the cause of
much qualification to the Englishman
who visits America as well as the
American.

STATES CHIEF EXECUTIVE AR.
RIVED IN oTTUMWA OVER THE
BURLINGTON JUST BEFoE NOON
FRIENDS CALL ON HIM
PREDICTS VICTORY
BY $4,000 MAJORITY
IN INTERVIEW GOVERNOR SAYS
HE is CONFIDENT OF CARRYING
THE STATE BY 25, 600 SAYS HE
is GAINING STRENGTH

Governor A. B. Cummfns arrived in
Ottumwa just before noon today He
came by way of Oskaloosa and Abba,
having spoken last night at What
Cheer and at Sigourney yesterday aft
ernoon at the opera houses in both
places. The governor was escorted to
the Ballingall from the Burlington de.
pot and Immediately took rest At
2 o'clock he was ready to receive his
friends of whom large number visit
ed him during the afternoon.
II am confident of carrying the
state by $4,000 in the primary June
q" said Givernor Cummins today in
an interview with a Courier represen-
tative at the governors suite at the
Ballingall.
A Little Prophesy.
When asked about the situation in
Cerro Gordo and Clinton counties the
governor said: II don't believe more
than 400 votes will be cast against me
in Cerro Gordo, while in Clinton
county my majority will be from 1,0t /.
to l,2O0. In the southeastern part of
the state the opposition to me is
strong, but during the last two weeks
the progressive cause has gained ma
ter1ally and quite noticeably."
Political Evolution.
In reference to fight in the republi-
can ranks Mr.. Cummins said: Flights
as regards differences of opinion and
methods of procedure have been made
In all political parties and will be as
long as time lasts. In Wisconsin the
antagonism was even greater If possi-
BILE than In Iowa. All is serene there
now and the progressive movement
has won a point and the people are
satisfied. The same evolution is being
made in South Dakota and also in
North Dakota in lesser degree.
Kansas has passed through such an
epoch.
Buxton Speech Cancelled.
1t had been planned that speech
should be made by Mr.. Cummins at
Buxton this afternoon, but as that
course would not let him get to OF
tumwa before Z o'clock tonight, the
date was cancelled SO that the COVER
nor could visit during the afternoon
with his Ottumwa friends and take a
rest. The chief executive of the state
is making a strenuous campaign and
during the last ten days before the
primary, June 2, is speaking two or
three times a day.
