EUsTIs RECALLS THuRBER RESOLUTION

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 21.-Seattle was
tonight selected as the city in which will
be held the next session Of the Transmits
sissippi congress in 1908. New Orleans was
the only other candidate for the honor Of
entertaining the congress.
The feature OF today's session was the
animated discussion of the resolution in
troduced yesterday by William Henry Bustis
Of Minneapolis, demanding that the address
Of F. B. Thurber of New York, which Mr..
Eustis' resolution declared was a s~pecious
plea In behalf Of the so-called beef trust,
be eliminated from the records OF the con-
gress. Mr.. Eustis argued that the printed
proceedings Of the congress should not be
made the vehicle for disseminating litera-
ture of this class, which, he asserted, did
not represent the views of the majority Of
the delegates. A number Of other delegates
warmly supported Mr.. Eustis, while others
as warmly opposed him.
Those opposed took the ground that Mr..
Thurber, having been invited to address
the congress, wal entitled as a matter of
courtesy to have his remarks embodied in
the printed proceeding. After much DIE
e~ussion, which at times became rather per-
sonal, Mr.. Eustis withdrew his resolution,
declaring its purpose accomplished, as the
discussion upon its merits would be en-
bodied in the minutes of the congress and
in this way the public would be able to
see that a great portion Of its members
did not favor 'so-eailed trusts.
A number Of important papers were pre-
scented at the morning and evening sessions,
one Of the most interesting being Prof. J.
c.. Monaghan's address on Water Ways
and Irrigation as an Aid to Commerce"
The afternoon was devoted to carriage
| drives through the parks.

Many Take u Hand.


After some preliminary routine business
today the congress took up the special
order fixed late yesterday and William
Henry Eustis of Minneapolis opened the
discussion In support of his motion to ex-
plunge from the records of the congress the
address Of F.. B. Thurber of New York,
who had declared that there was no sucn
thing as a meat trust.
He charged that the so-called trust was
seeking to use this commercial congress for
its own ends. He did not think the money
Of this organization should be spent to cir
culate the specious arguments of any trust.
w. H. Torbett Of Dubuque followed on
the same side, as also did Mr.. Zachary OF
Louisiana.
A. G. Lewis Of Oklahoma thought the ad-
dress should be printed for the sake OF
completeness OF record. but that such pub
LEGATION did not commit the congress to the
ideas Of Mr.. Thurber. He eESned for cour-
tesy to the speakers of the congress and In
sisted that the opinions Of the congress
should be voiced through the resolutions
and that none should fear the addresses
here delivered.
Rufus A. Hoyt OF MinPesOta supported
the resolution to expunge.
Gives HIS Honest Views.
Mr.. Thurber OF New York replied to Mr..
Eustis, explaining that he was here as one
interested In the objects Of this congress.
He said that he was personally interested
in cattle raising and his paper was Intended
to give his honest views on the meat in
dustry. He argued for free speech, insist
ing that the opinion OF the congress should
be expressed by the resolutions and that no
members opinion ought to be suppressed.
e. r Moses of Kansas City argued for
free speech and free thought, asserting that
such a proposition as that now before the
congress had never before been presented
in the entire history OF the organization.
Tom Richardson Of New Orleans drew the
distinction that the speeches are part OF
the proceedings Of the congress, but were
not the opinions OF the congress.
Walter Gresham of Texas opposed the
resolution.
Mr.. Eustis said tina in the interest OF
harmony and because this distinction had
exploded any harm that might have resulted
from the address in question, he would
withdraw his motion to expunge.
