ROOT IN CLASH AT
NICARAGUA HEARING
Resents William Alden Smiths
Suggestion Of a Financial
Plot Behind Treaty.
n. Y. BANKERS TESTIFY
James Brown and Albert Straus
Are Heard-Bryan Is
Again Present.

wAsHiNGroN. June So.--senator Elihu
Root and Senator william Alden Smith,
Republicans FLASHED in the executive
meeting OF the Committee on Foreign Re-
lations to-day.
The sharp exchange between the Sena-
tors was due to a line OF questioning
being pursued by Mr.. Smith In the course
OF his examination OF James Brown OF
New York, representing Brown Bros. &
Co. the bankers.
Mr.. Brown had responded to an invita-
ton OF the committee to testify concern
ing the financial relations OF Brown Bros
& Co. with the Republic OF Nicaragua
Mr.. Smith asked the witness to tell the
committee how he regarded the action
OF the Diaz administration in Nicaragua
in issuing about 20, 900 900 pesos in addi-
tlonal currency Immediately after II cape
into power, and paying most OF It out at
once to men who are known to he friendly
to the Diaz administration.
The witness replied that he considered
the action OF the Diaz administration as
reprehensible.
was It not a crime" inquired sena-
to- Smith.
Mr.. Root Ipterposes.
The witness hesitated and Senator Root,
who had been following Senator Smiths
questioning with increasing impatience,
lnterposed al objection at this point saw
ing that he did not believe the questions
we're proper.
Senator Smith thereupon made some
remark about heavy financial interests
in New York being eager to have the
Nicaragua treaty ratified. Senator Root
at once resented this suggestion. saying
that he considered II as personally or
fensive 10 himself. There was some little
time before order was restored
There came near being a break yester-
day between the two Senators while Sec
rotary Bryan was holding conference
with Senator Smith over a request by the
latter that the State Department supply
the committee with the reports OF FORMER
Consul Gunther in regard to the issu-
ance OF the additional currency by the
Diaz Administration
Secretary Bryan had said to the COM
mlttee that he did not believe that the
reports OF the Consul. which severely crit
lcised the Diaz Administration. should &c
into the record OF the hearings He DE-
clared his willingness to bring the Con
suls reports TO the committee room ane
read them to the committee.
Senator Smith insisted that this woulc
moi satisfy him. and Senator Root inter
posed the remark that Secretary Bryan
was clearly within his privileges as Sec
rotary OF State In Withholding any or all Of
the information.
This suggestion from Mr.. Root seemed
| to annoy Senator Smith. who sharply .ad
dressed the Senator from New York. say
/ ing that he was surprised at Mr.. Roots
attitude.
! The feeling as result OF this inciden
/ had not disappeared when the committee
reconvened to-day Senator Smith hat

Senator Smiths attitude has been vr-
tualy hostile. He has charged that New
York bankers, acting with the United
Fruit Company, are seeking TO control the
transportation facilities OF the Ave cen
trail American republics and 20 validate
the Nicaraguan bonds and thus enhance
their value above the price paid for them.
The Senator from Michigan has been
so aggressive in his attack on the treaty
and the motives OF those who are advo-
eating II that he has stirred up trouble
from day to day and the proceedings have
frequently bordered upon personal en-
counters. He seemed to be especially an
noyed because Senator Root appeared to
join the Democratic Senators and Secre-
tary Bryan.
The committee heard Albert Straus rep
resenting the Seligmans, as we'll as James
Brown OF Brown Bros. & Co. Senator
Smith got from James Brown the in
formation that the bankers paid $1,000, 900
for the 81 per cent. OF the stock OF the
National Railway in Nicaragua and ac-
qured It from the Nicaraguan republic.
The Senator also elected the further
fact that the United Fruit Company had
offered to buy the stock at an advance OF
$500, 900 on the price paid by the bankers
but that the offer was refused Senator
Smith also established 10 his own satis-
faction by questions to Mr., Straus and
MIR Brown that the United Fruit Conn
pany now controls the railways and prac-
tically all the important transportation
facilities OF the other Central American
States.
The Committee on Foreign Relations
was In session most OF the day. Secretary
Bryan was present again, but did not
arrive until about noon. There is ap-
parently a determination on the part OF

treaty through al this session Of Congress,

ADVANCE CONTINUES IN WHEAT MARKET Signs European Need Be- coming More Acute
 Responsible

Chicago. August 31.-Wheat jumped higher, influenced by signs that European need was becoming more acute. After a bulge that in some cases amounted to 5 cents bushel the market closed firm at a gain of 37sc to 4Isc net. Corn finished 7sc off to Ac up; oats with an advance of ss@lsc to s4d7sc, and provisions vary ing from 5c decline to rise of 25c.
 Perhaps the most important news af- fectng the wheat market was the an- nouncement that virtually all world ship ments were from North America, and for the most part were made of wheat that had been grown in the United States. Before the session ended spectators on the buying side were joined by flour man. ufacturers who were said to have received a limited number of exportations on the basis of cash for loading. A second strong swell, the September or near cash deiv- cry of wheat, touched the extreme high point of five days ago.
 Prospects of fairly large deliveries here tomorrow on September contracts tended to keep corn depressed. Export demand lifted oats but profit taking by longs took a material reaction from the top level reached
