St. Paul, Aug. 23.— The trust ques- tion was openly precipitated in the Trans-Mississippi corgressat the morn ing session, when William Henry Eus- tis of Minneapolis, moved that the ad dress of F. B. Thurber be expunged from the records. Eustis charged Thurber with coming tiere as an agent of the meat trust, and that his address was an effort to get the trust’ s side of the case before the public at the ex pense of the congress, seemingly with its endorsement. The question was hotly debated for an hour. Thurber was sharply criticistni both fer his present action and for his connection with the senate sugai scandal. Finally the whole matter of trusts was left to the resolutions committee. Beattie gets the next meeting of the congress. KEEP TRUSTS IN CHECK Roosevelt Thinks Publicity Would Help Desired End.
