Waterway at kieI to be Made of Suffi

Kiel-It has now been definitely de-

canal in order to enable the largest
warships to pass through it.
Two side canals will also be con-
structed, one opening into 4Ecllenfor-
der bay and the other opening into
the mouth Of the River Schlei. The
canal will thus have three outlets, a
very great advantage in case of a

BRYAN'S VIEWS UPHELD
Trans-Mississippi Congress Declares
Against Private MonopoIies-
Bryan's Friends Triumph


Kansas City-The Trans Mississip-
pi Commercial Congress last week
just before adjournment, placed itself
on record against private monopol es
and favoring arbitration between ma
tions of international disputes. This
result was victory for w. J. Bryan,
who stood sponsor for the resolutions
which were only adopted in open con-
.vention after they had been turned
down by the committee on, resolutions.
The charge that politics was being.
played was openly made. After John,
P. Irish, chairman of the committee
on resolutions, had finished reading
his report, which omitted all refer
ence to the Bryan resolutions, Z. c.,
Irvine of st, Louis, vice. president of
the congress, secured the floor and in
a bitter speech censured the action
of the committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Irvine broadly intimated that
the omission of the resolutions saw
ored of political influence, and that
their authorship rather, than their
subject matter was responsible for
the failure of the committee to report
them. All of the American people, he
declared, were in favor of the Bryan
resolutions, and he warned the con-
vention if it did not want to lose it's
power and influence it had better not
commit itself to an action indicating
a partisan feeling. The republican
leaders, he said, who are fighting the
trusts and Mr.. Bryan were a unit
on the trust question. He declared
If "you took speech delivered by
Mr.. Bryan on that subject and anoth,
er delivered by Mr. Roosevelt or. At
torney General Hadley and you were
not told the name of their authors
you could not tell which man was the
author of either speech"
Mr.. Irish in defending the action of
the resolutions committee said he op-
posed the Bryan resolutions because
of the views held by Bryan as ex-
pressed in his New York speech. He
said Bryan had advocated government
ownership of all public utilities, and
that an Endorsement of his resolutions
would be an indirect Endorsement of
government ownership of such utili
ties. Several delegates took the
ground that Bryan had not advocated
the public ownership of all government
utilities.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President-Colonel H. D. Loveland,
San Francisco.
First Vice President. Bradford
Prince, Santa Fe, N M.
Second Vice Presdent-N. G. Lari-
more, Larimore, N. D.
Third Vice President-F. A. Fellows,
Topeka, Kan.
Fourth Vice President - A. Col
braith Denver, Colo.
Secretary-Arthur F. Francis, Grip
pie Creek, Colo.

Importance in the participation for the
Democratic state campaign took place
here today and the city is buzzing to-
night with political interest.
First and seemingly most important
was the conference of Democrats from
many counties Of the state, called to
discuss the situation in the party.
The central figure of the conference
was District Attorney Jerome of New
York.
1t is conceded that the meeting will
be aimed chiefly at preventing, IL pos
sible, the nomination or indorsement
by the state convention at Buffalo OF
william r. Hearst.
Several illusions in the speeches were
interpreted as having no other pos
sible meaning.
The other incident was confer
ence of representatives of several radi-
cal Democratic organizations, from
which tonight emanated statement
criticising Mr.. Hearst and declaring in
favor of the nomination of Congress-
man William Sulzer of New York
This action was given Importance by
the presence at this radical conference
Of Albert S. Dulin of New Jersey, for
years editor of the Democratic national
congressional committee and known
as a close political friend of William
j. Bryan.
He said that the adherents Of Mr..
Bryan resented the alleged efforts of
Mr.. Hearst's friends to secure for him
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton in 1908.
