Reasons for Assault.

Your committee. being familiar with
all the different phases OF the legislative
features in the army appropriation bill,
can very readily account for this violent
assault on Cen Ainsworth. May II, 1911,
in response to a summons from this
committee. and not at his own sugges-
ton, Gen. Ainsworth appeared before this
committee for hearing on the bill then
pending to fix the term Of enlistment in
the army at five years. He expressed
himself frankly and freely in favor of
the measure. and his reasons for favoring
the bill were so cogent, SO convincing
and so clearly stated to carry convic-
ton Of their soundness to the minds of
many, If not to those Of most of the
members of the committee.
subsequently the War Department en-
tered upon a campaign of bitter hostility
against this measures campaign unpre-
cedented in the history of such legislation:
1t used the newspapers, the organized
militia, or such of them as 1t could infiu-
ence: officers of the army, enlisted men,
and other means to influence members OF
Congress. Notwithstanding all this oppo-
sition. the five-year enlistment plan was
adopted by this committee and reported
by 1t as part of the army appropriation
bill
Case of Secretary.
Certainly. in time of peace, the acts Of
cipline Of the army are a matter which
Congress has the right. to inquire about.
and to demand public papers with ref
erence thereto. In this case the papers
called for were public and Official papers
on file in the War Department. and GER
tainly subject to such an inquiry The
committee calls the attention of the
House to the attitude of the Secretary of
War toward resolutions of inquiry. II
there were any good and valid reasons
| why these papers should have been with
! held from this House. those reasons
should have been given In a different way
| and by the President himself.
THE Secretary of War, in the Opin-
ion of your committee has a very erro-
neous idea as to what his relation is
to the Congress of the United States.
His Office is not a constitutional one.
He derives no power from the execu-
tive He is the creature of the Con-
gress of the United States, and as such
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-04-10

is amenable to it. He has no power
which the Congress does not confer.
The letter of the Secretary of War does
not even say that he has laid the mat
ter before the President, and that the
President authorized him to make the
claim therein set forth. If the matter
had been called to the attention of the
President and he thought that the
Congress was invading his prerogative.
then he, and not the Secretary of War.
was the proper person to assert his
claim
In conclusion, the report says:
Your committee. in making this re-
port. has been actuated solely by the
desire to set out at length what seems
to 1t to be the truth about the case and
to do justice to an officer of the army
who for more than twenty-five years
had remained at his post of duty and
had discharged faithfully and efficient
ly. as we'll with unusual ability. the
vesy responsible duties Of his position.
Indeed, every department of the army
to which he has been attached has been
bettered by his treatment of it. and he
leaves the service with the we'll de-
served plaudits OF all fair and unpreju-
diced men,"

Minority Report Expected.

In all probability the republican men,
bers Of the House committee on military
affairs will file minority report of some
kind in relation to the Ainswort11 case.
The few republican members in the city
today express no little surprise at the re-
port of Chairman Hay. When Represent
alive Prince of Illinois returns from that
state tomorrow he is expected to take up
the Ainsworth matter, and a report will
probably be forthcoming in a few days.
When Chairman Hay asked permission to
make report on the case the only re-
publican member present was Represent
alive Anthony of Kansas. according to
statement made by him today. In an
informal discussion Of the report Mr.. An
thony said today that he had no idea that
such an attack was about to be made
and he suppOses also that his republican
colleagues are very much in the same po-
sitiCn.

Text of the Report.

TIE report is, in part:
III in the history of this country there
was ever more fragrant abuse of off,
cial authority than that which was con-
summated when the letter in question
was served on Gen. Ainsworth and copies
of it given simultaneously to the world,
this copmittee has never heard of it,
And the worst feature of 1t was that this
officer of long and distinguished service
had no tribunal to which he could appeal
with any hope of receiving justice or
fair treatment. For the letter shows
upon its face that both the President and
the Secretary of War, and doubtless their
immediate military advisers. had pre-
judged the case without giving Gen. AIMS
worth any opportunity to present his side
of it,
ut is incredible to your committee -
the report continues, that the Secretary
Of War or any intelligent adviser Of his
could have made these accusations in the
honest belief that Gen. Ainsworth was
guilty OF any one of the offenses charged
against him with such unnecessary We
hemence and couched in such intemper-
ate language. Some other reason must
have actuated the Secretary of War in
making them, and that other reason is
not hard to find.

case was investigated by the House COM
mittee on military affairs following a
resolution introduced by Representative
Watkins of Louisiana.
The report charges that President Taft
and the Secretary Of War prejudiced the
case. that the accusations were based on
prejudice and that Secretary Stimson has
an erroneous idea" Of his relations to
Congress. The majority of the commit
tee concludes that Gen. Ainsworth has
been guilty of no act which would justify
his suspension and that the charges had
origin in a determination to drive Gen.
Ainsworth from active service and have
nothing to support them but bare asser-
ton. coupled with Misrepresentation and
suppression Of truth"

TO EXTEND TOMBSTONE
STREET RAILROAD LINE
Extension of Road Beyond
Thomas Residence
Ready

The Tombstone Canyon road is ut
last ready for the extension of the
street car line and it IS expected the
work Of laying rails to the Thomas
residence in the canyon will start
Immediately.
When the work was started two
weeks ago, a Warren company official
stated that construction work would
begin as soon as the street work WIS
completed.
The eye-beams of the bride over
which the street railway will cross has
been put in place and the culvert ut
the williams residence has been,
cleared out. The latter work occupied
nearly two weeks and delayed the
work of installing the beams. The eY-
tension OF the line will place the street
cars at the doors of a number Of can
yon residents, and if the city grows
sufficiently far westward it will be
the policy OF the company to continue
TO extend it's line, following in the
wake Of the city's growth.
The lack of a sufficient number Of
houses to shelter the -constantIy-flow-
ing stream of new residents will soon
make imperative the construction Of
more houses and as the city many on
ly grow east and west the time when
the car line will be ramming its muse
into the base of the Mule mountains
TO the west may not be far distant

How Money Is Used in a
Presidential Campaign
Many Expense Items
Are Heavy
$500 DAILY

Some interesting details regarding
the expenditures OF the' democratic
national campaign fund were obtained
last week when the expenditures had
totalled around $550,0O from a fund
summing up to date about S623,000.
The Wilson managers have been
using their card index OF voters TO
make a thorough canvass of the coun-
fry by maitland in consequence one
of the biggest items In their expense
account is postage, which is costing
them 5000 a dar or more, says the
New York sun.
Telegraph service Is another big
item. There are four telegraph opera
tors on duty at national headquarters
in the Fifth avenue building and they
handle some $50 messages a day. The
committees Telegraph bill will foot
up at least 81. 1000 The telegraph tolls
have been swelled by the committees
system of telegraphing campaign bull
letins two and three times each week
TO the party leaders in the various
states
Besides the telegraph bill. the demo-
cratic national committee will have
a telephone bill of $4,000 for its head
quarters here. Then there will be from
$1,000 to $4,000 for express service.
The payroll at the New York head
quarters amounts TO approximately
81 900 a day and the payroll at the
Chicago headquarters runs around
$500 a day.
Campaign literature is costing the
a llt
advertising in the daily papers will
run around $4,000, and the cost of
the boiler plate" service for the rural
papers will be at least $4,000. The
art department, which has supplied
cartoons for campaign purposes. will
cost around $4,000. An item for NOV
ing pictures foots up about $4,000
Governor Wilson's expenses while
travelling around the country cam
paigning, together with the expenses
of the other speakers sent cut on
stun,ping tours, will he about $4,000
This includes special trains. 1t will
take $4,000 to pay for the New York
headquarters. the hiring of halls for
meetings and for decorations. Special
campaign work among the laboring
men will cost another $4,000.
The democratic national managers
declare that no national campaign
has ever been run on as businesslikr
a basis as theirs. AS an illustration
Of their claim that business consider
