TRUST QUESTION UP.
Hot-Tempered Debate In Tranz-Mlsslazlppl
ConKress at St. Paul.
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.
