BRYAN RESOLU IIONS
!. ARE VOTED DOWN
Resolutions Committee Of Trans
Mississippi Congress Rejects
\ Commoner's Plan.

: Kansas City, Nov. 23.-Delegates to
the seventeenth annual convention of
the Trans mississippi Commercial con-
-gresss today placed the finishing
touches upon their work at this gath
erlng, which in many respects has been
the most memorable in the history Of
the organization.
The resolutions committee voted
down the two resolutions submitted to
the congress last night by William J..
Bryan. The first of these resolutions
favored, the Endorsement by the con,
gress of. the resolution adopted by the
InterparGamentary union at the London
session in favor of the settling of in
.ternational questions impartially by a
court OF commission Of investigation
before declaration Of war or the open.
ing of hostilities by any country.
Dealt with Trusts.
The second resolution sought to place
the congress on record as being opposed
to private monopolies and, believing
them "indefensible and intolerable,
favors the enforcement of existing laws
as may be necessary to protect indus
try from the menace offered by the
trusts.''
The following nominations for Off
GERS of the congress for the ensuing
term will be presented to the conven-
tlen, and as there are no contests they
unquestionably will be ratified:
y President, Colonel H. D. Loveland,
San Francisco.
- First vice president, L. Bradford
Prince, Santa Fe, N. NJ.
Second vice president, N. G, Lari.
more, Larimore, N. D.
Secretary, Arthur F. Francis, Cripple
The program for the morning session
included an address by Sydney A. Eos
ter Of Iowa on zone Phase of Insur.
ance.'
The report of the resolutions com.
mlttee Endorsed the sentiments of Sec
rotary Root, urging the development
or South American trade and favor
ing the ship subsidy bill. The Monroe
doctrine was approved; a reorganiza-
t1on OF the consular service asked: the
construction of a railway connecting
North and South America favored. and
the rivers and harbors projects emphat-
lcally approved and recommended to
the congress Of the United States.
The resolutions also recommend early
action toward a flexible currency and
fayyored the beet sugar industry.
One OF the sensations of the session
was the introduction Of a resolution by
George j. Kindel of Denver calling for
the retirement of Judson G. Clements
from the interstate commerce commits
sion on the grounds of incompetency.

Superior, Wis, grain men, who are at
war with the Duluth Board of Trade.
Commissioner Prouty allowed the in
PRODUCTION Of much testimony, but ex-
planned that the only thing with which
the commission was concerned was the
reason why the railroads would not
handle grain on their tracks or in their
elevators where Wisconsin inspection is
used, if it is true they did refuse to.
Three Wisconsin men were on the
stand and asserted this to be true, but
sentatives Of railroad interests elected
replies that were rather contradictory.
The commission's attorney had also
been persuaded that the Duluth Board
Of Trade will do no business for any
grain men within 100 miles Of Duluth
unless they are members Of the Duluth
Board Of Trade, but: it was explained
that the rule is that members of SINH
lar exchanges within 100 miles Of Du-
luth will not be admitted to member
ship in the. Duluth board, and this
seemed to give the matter a different
complexion. The commission expects to
finish the inquiry by night.
