NEW RULES FOR PARTY
URGED BY CUMM|NS
Senator Would Reduce Power
of the Southern
Republicans.

DES MONIES, Iowa, March 15.-Sena-
tor Albert B. Cummins. in an address
before the Grant Club here last night.
declared it to be his deliberate judgment
that the door OF opportunity us now
swinging wide for the republican party
and that If we do not enter our tenn
porary defeat may become final and
our organization disappear from the po-
litical world"
After saying that the republican party
in its organization had ceased to be repre-
sentative and citing the preponderance
of southern delegates in the Chicago con-
vention as proof of his statement. the
senator urged the Importance of ma
tional convention before 1916 to formu-
late new rules for the party.
Time for a Change.
"It must be apparent to every thinking
man that such Injustice could not endure
and that whenever the republicans In
such states as Iowa saw their win and
purpose overtnrown by the over-repre-
sented states, a rebellion would follow"
he said. --@--~-------s r----------'-------
ITO me the only wonder is that we have
submitted so long. The time has now
come to amend our organization SO that
1t will be fair and right, and / predict
that until we do it, the republican party
will not be restored to the confidence OF
the people.
IF we are in earnest in trying to make
the republican party strong again we
fust not wait until 1916 to readjust the
basis of representation; we must do 1t
now.
..How can we invite the men who re-
belled against the outcome of the Chicago
convention again to bear the republican
banner so long as We acknowledge that
g. handful of republicans in certain states
can neutralize the will and purpose of
that great army of republicans who made
the party what it was. and can make 1t
SO again If they be given chance to
do 1t.

GUN TO KILL ENEMY

BOSTON, March 15.-A rift in the mys-
terry that covers the sudden death OF

clared Of the unknown enemy: IF thai

him.
That is absolutely all that the authori
ties will tell. They decline to give
names.
The gravity Of the case was shown by
Barker: This is a very serious matter.
The fact that Mr.. Barker had previ
ously refused to say a word concerning
the Eaton tragedy gave emphasis to this
remark.
He received late yesterday Afternoon
the report OF Prof. William F. Whitney
of Harvard University, concerning thu
condition Of the stomach of the late
admiral. It was after he received the
report that he broke his fixed silence.
Drug Stores Are Inspected.

Recent Shipment Caused Widespread
Comment.
Recent importations of Australian
meats have attracted widespread at
tention in the markets of the Pacific
coast. While there have been predic-
tions that the shipments received at
San Francisco would have the effect
of breaking the high prices at which
beef is now ruling, it is improbable
that a marked influence will be exer-
cised by the comparatively limited
quantities as yet coming to hand.
However, there are reports of further
developments in this direction, and it
is stated that the interests back of the
movement may extend their opera
tions by making shipments to Tacoma
Seattle and other northern ports IN
the near future.
