WALTER |. SMITH
LED ALL THE REST
In Selecting Members OF The New
Committee On Rules He Had
The Largest Vote Of All.

The personal friends of Hon. Walter
l. Smith as well as his political adher-
ents and supporters are very much
pleased to see that in selecting the six
members of the new committee on rules
by the Republican caucus, the name of
this gentleman from Iowa" like Abou
Ben Adams led all the rest. The total
vote was 100 and Judge Smith received
1853. Then too they think it worthy of
mention that this close friend and sup
porter of Mr. Cannon should receive
the votes of all the insurgent members
from Iowa. Whether this was done be-
cause they consider him the best man
for the place, as matter of state pride,
as a political exigency in their own dis
tricts, or because he is a "Corking story
teller may not be known; but the full
vote from his own state as well as the
largest vote in the caucus might well
cause the sprouting of new crop of
hair on the upper story of the member
from the ninth district. Dalzell of Penn
sylvania becomes chairman of the com
mittee because of seniority of service in
congress. Below we give the full com
mittee, the first six being Republicans
and the last four democrats.

Col. p. Cad Bryan Dies

The Des Moines papers of March %,
1910, announced the death of Col. p.
Cad Bryan of that city at the age of "a
years. He was brother of j. Nal
Bryan, well known in this county, and
a cousin of William Jennings Bryan of
Nebraska; also an uncle of Mrs. III. G..
Rice of Hamlin. Though he had been
in failing health for several months his
death was very sudden. Shortly after
eating hearty lunch at noon he tainted
away and never regained consciousness.
Col. Bryan was a pioneer in Iowa poll
tics and served in the legislature and be-
came Colonel of the First Iowa Cavalry
in 1868.

THE AUTOMOBILE
PARADE ON SATURDAY
Nine New Cars in Line, The Hudson
Mason And ChaImers-Detroit
Being Represented.

The automobile parade by the Audu-
bon Automobile Company last Saturday
was quite success. They had nine new
cars, one Hudson, one Mason, and seven
Chalmers-Detroit. Their drive around
town for short time made pretty
showing. 1t was quite noticeable that
the teams on the street seemed to pay
no attention to the coming or going of
the cars.
In this connection we call to mind
that the first automobile we ever saw
was a big six-passenger high-seated
affair that came to the Capitol in Des
Moines twelve years ago this spring to
take Governor Shaw and other state
officers out for ride. Since then the
business has made remarkable strides.
Probably no other industry has made
such rapid development as that of the
motor car. The increase in the output
during the last dozen years reads like a
fairy tale:
. In 1898 there were but 239 cars made
in this country. This year is estimated
that 200 900 cars will be made at average
cost of 81 10000, making the total retail
business of $4,000, 100000 There are
approximately $50, 900 motor cars in
daily use in America About eighty per
cent of the 1910 output will be made in
the middle west and the combined CAPT
talization of manufactures is around
100000, 10000, while the. actual value
of plants runs up to such extraordinary
figures that it fairly takes ones breath
away when he considers the remarkable
strides made by this wonderful industry.
Added to the above capital of motor car
makers is another capitalization of over
1910, 600, 100000 of the parts and material
makers In general way it can be
stated that there are 1875, 900 employees in
the automobile plants against 1900 in
1898, while the parts makers give EN-
ployment to 10000 more. Not even the
giant Standard Oil Bond Street trusts
can't quote figures which will compare
with those of the automobile industry
that is in so short period of time.

ATTACHMENT
CAUSES ROW

Constable J. G. Brown and Philip Sis
kind, proprietor of a clothing store at
Jefferson and State streets, came to
blows on State street yesterday, accord
ing to Patrolman Andrew Jensen who
interceded and threatened the partici-
pants with arrest, if the alteration was
carried further. J. p. Goldsmith, also
q State street storekeeper, is alleged
to have supported Siskind in berating
the constable, although he took no ac-
tive part in the fracas.
The trouble grew out of Constable
Browns attempt at attach for Leo
Goldberger, the contents of furniture
store Of David Beam, at 327 State
street. Mr.. Siskind and Mr.. Goldsmith,
attempted to prevent the attachment,
claiming that Beam, who is said to be
an abseonding debtor, owed them rent
for the store.
Patrolman Jensen reached the scene
of disturbance as the alleged combat
began. He stepped between the two
men, threatening each with arrest. The
furniture was levied upon.

KATzENBACH
The SPEAKER
Big Crowd Expected at DEM
ocratic Rally Tomorrow
Night In Auditorium.
TO HEAR THOMAS SCULLY

When Frank s. Katzenbach, Jr.,
aseends the platform In the Audito-
rum tomorrow night, the same stage
on which Vivian M. Lewis, republi-
can candidate for governor, stood to
address an audience of 1900 Tues
day evening, 1t Is expected that an
even larger assemblage will be anx-
iously awaiting to hear him speak
for Woodrow Wilson, the democratic
gubernatorial nominee. Members of
the democratic executive committee
say there will be enough enthusiastic
followers of Wilson and Thomas ].
Scully on hand to more than fill the
hall. They expect crowd of at
least 1000.
Thomas ]. Scully, democratic cam
didate for congressman from the.
third district will be one of the prin-
cipal speakers of the evening. Mr..
Scully, who is at present mayor of
South Amboy, is engaged in whole
sale coal business and has been so
engaged for some time. In fact, he
has devoted the greater part of his
life to the handling of coal on his
South Amboy wharves. From his
position as an owner of many boats,
he Is naturally well acquainted with
the deficiencies and requirements of
the local and immediate harbors.
1t is on this score that the candi-
date expects to gain many votes At
the congressional convention in Red
Bank when Mr.. Scully was nomina-
ted, in his speech of acceptance he
promised to foster the harbors and
waterways of the third congression-
al district. Congressman Howell at
Tuesday nights republican rally,
read list of appropriations he has
secured for those same waterways,
but democrats say this money has
been expended in improvements that
were not Immediately necessary.
DR.. William e. Ramsay, of this
city, candidate for reelection to the
assembly, will speak. Mayor Boil
schweiler will voice his views on To-
cal and state issues. Preparations
are now being made to accord the
congressional candidate and former
gubernatorial nominee, Katzenbach,
a great welcome when they arrive
tomorrow night.

ty courts, and he could not leave the

After a brief outline of his early life

BIDS OPENED
BY WATER BD.
Contract for RreechinQ
Awarded to Patrick White
& Sons for $3.50.
FOR RUNYON STATION

Bids were received at the meeting
of the Board of Water Commission
ers last night for the installation of
a fiue or breeching at the city pump
ing station, in Runyon, to convey
smoke from the boilers recently pur-
chased, to the new 125-foot stack;
and for the removal of the two con-
demned boilers. Patrick White &
Sons, the only bidders for the erec-
tion of the breeching, were awarded
the contract at their price of 500.
The Fords Terra Gotta and Pottery
Company submitted a bid for $100
for the old boilers. Their bid was
referred to the superintendent and
comptroller.
The breeching will connect the
boilers with the stack now being
constructed. The chimney, Engi-
neer Mason said, viii be completed
in about ten days.
Little actual business was trans
acted by the board last night owing
to the absence of President Fraser
and Vice-President Snedeker. Com
missioners Haney, Grouse and Grieve
put in an appearance. Mr.. Haney
was made temporary chairman.
Brown and Therkelsen, property
owners on State street, near Parker,

had been running continuously with
out the knowledge of the owners. 1t
was referred to the superintendent.

boilers recently installed was asked
last night in a communication from
the Heine Safety Boiler Company,
The payment will amount to about
$4,000. 1t will be paid at the next
meeting. In the meantime, the

of the boards intention.
A petition for water main in Ne
vile street, between Penn and
