PRODERS
ACT TOO SLOWLY
Early Action Sought in Money
Trust Investigation Now
in Progress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A resolu-
ton calling for early action by the
banking and currency committee in
Its investigation of the so-calIed
money trust, was introduced in the
House today by Representative Lind
bergh, of Minnesota, author Of the
original money trust" inquiry reso-
luton.
The Lindbergh resolution sets forth
that in the many months since the
investigation was authorized, the
committee seems not to have con
sidered the Investigation from the
standpoint of securing facts to aid in
early future work in, framing rene.
dial fine ncial legislation, but seems
rather to have been planning an in
vestigation as If for indictment, and
in such purpose is blocked by those
who have offended against honest and
impartial rules of business, and by
government officials who deem the
personal privileges of banks so sacred
that their business shall not be in
quired into, even for the benefit Of the
public welfare.
The resolution argues that while the
committee may not have the power to
obtain certain information, it should
proceed Immediately to secure "all the
practical information and data. that
may reasonably be had in relation to
the influence exercised by the money
trust in the control of the banks and

ANTI-BRYANTES
WRITE TO WILSON
President-eIect Deluged With
Protests Against Nebraskan's
Rumored Chance forc cabinet.

HAMILTON, Bermuda. Dec. g.
Governor Wilson is beginning to hear
from the Democrats of the United
States In protest against the appoint
ment of William Jennings Bryan as
secretary of state or to any other po-
sition in the cabinet. He was com.
PEELED to pay SO in excess postage.
| Most of the letters are a protest
against Mr.. Bryan becoming the pre-
mier of the cabinet.
In addition to the letters there are
many editorial clippings from the
American newspapers protesting
against the selection of Mr.. BRYAN.
1t Is believed that the letters and
clippings of protest came in the ma
ture of a surprise to him.
No one knows how these letters will
affect Governor Wilson, or whether
they will deter him from Offering the
position to Mr.. Bryan. Some of the
letters are believed to be from men
who were active in the campaign for
Governor Wilson, and some from
men who have always fought for Mr..
Bryan. OF course, many of the
others are from anti-Bryan Demo.
Gratis.
1t is expected that the Democratic
friends of Mr.. Bryan will begin to
flood Governor Wilson with letters
advising that Bryan be appointed.
Governor Wilson has also been re.
ceiving many letters from persons
who believe he is here on cou of
ill-health. Many are from manufac.
turers of patent medicines, and others
are praying for his recovery. AS a
matter of fact, he is in splendid ply
steal condition.
With his family Governor Wilson
attended the Christ Presbyterian
Church yesterday. The Rev. DR.. A
B. Cameron said a prayer in which
he asked that counsel and guidance
be given to the President-elect, on
whom the eyes of the nation are set.

MAY NAME DESCH
IN WEBER'S PLACE
Prominent Member of Kruger
Association May Succeed
Fire Boards President.

That Fire Commissioner William E.
Weber, who is just completing his
second term asa member of the Fire
Board, having been president for the
past two years, will not be ~reappoint-
ed was rumored today.
The man who Is being mentioned as
Weber's successor as a member Of
the board is John Desch. a coal
dealer, Of 81 Sixteenth VENUE, and a
prominent member of the Gottfried
Kruger Association. of which Com.
missioner Weber is president.
Desch's appointment. it is said, is re-
garded with great favor by men
closely identified with the Democratic
party, and 1t is said, on pretty good
authority, to be almost a certainty,
Whether there will be any other
changes in the makeup of the a
whenait organizes at the beginning OF
the year is not known, but 1t has
been said that there may be a couple
of changes. The board at the present
time4 consists of William e. Weber,
president, and Commissioners I. Ed
ward Burke, Matthias Stratton and
Frank Legacy.
Mr. Weber was placed in a rather
embarrassing position a few
e when his son. Joseph A. Weber,
who is captain of Engine Company
No. 6, was hailed before the board on
charges preferred by Colonel Multi
kin, of the Civil Service Commission,
and DR.. Daniel l.. Mccormick, the
commissions medical examiner. AT
that time the board was subjected TO
severe criticism because of Its atti-
tude in the matter, but whether this
had anything to do with the opposi-
tion to Commissioner Weber is not
known.
Mr.. Desch was warden Of the Cald-
we'll penitentiary just before War
den Samuel Martin, who was recent
ly removed by a court order. Mr..
Desch was at that time removed in
practically the same way in which
Warden Martin has been removed.
He has always taken an active part
in Democratic politics.
