Muat Keep Off Munition Snips. Bryan wants any action taken by congress to show bluntly that the president is not authorized cither to declare war "or begin war," he stated. His position on trans-Atlantic com merce, he said, is that he wants no passengers on belligerent ships, or on any ships, for that matter, which carry contraband. Bryan will make his appeal in sup port of peace, not the pacifists, who, he apparently thought, will support him anyway, but to those who see no other way out of the present situation; the inly class to which it is worth while to appeal. Bryan denied he is here in connec tion With the emergency peace feder ation. "I have no plans," he said. ''But I feel it would be wise for those who are opposed to the use of force to ex press themselves la order that the president might be confirmed in the belief that he expressed in his message when he said: Quotes the President. "It is devoutly to be hoped that it will not be necessary to put an armed force anywhere into action. The American people do not desire it and our desire is not different from theirs. ''1 am sure that the president cor rectlv interprets the hopes f the peo ple. " The people desire peace, but we have a war element in this country which is doing all it can to manufac ture war sentiment." Those who "want war," Bryan divided into four classes: the sympa fie hellieerents who want the United states to help; those who have a pecuniary interest in war -munitions makers and bankers who here today in the surrogates' court by the granting of letters of administra tion upon his estate to Ella I.

Mr. Harris, who lived here at No. 438 Eighth street, was eighty two years old and died of pneumonia as the re sult of a fall three weeks before his death. He was at one time a partner of E. C. Stedman, the poet and stock broker, a druggist in San Francisco during the gold craze about sixty years ago, and since had stores in New York city and Jersey City Heights. Mr. Harris was a native of St. John, N. B., and came to the Pacific coast during the gold craze. He was one of the first load of passengers sent across the Isthmus of Nicaragua on pack mules to make ship connections on the Pacific- side. After an adventurous ca reer in the west he returned east and became a druggist in New York, later a stock broker, and still later a drug gist in Jersey (Sty. He left no will.

" Bryan quoted again from the presi dent's address "1 am not propoosing or considering war or any steps that may lead to it," Bryan's comment was: This statement is so plain that, no one ought to suppose for an instant that the president desires congress to surrender its exclusive right to decide whether or where it should go to war.

Men and women who are accustomed to includo information as to whether the Zimmerman letter "originated with or was derived from" an allied power. .Stone openly hinted that the German plot information, if from the executive, offices of this government, was put forth to influence public or official opiniou, or both. "The publication of this letter to day was made for some purpose," said Stone. "I do not know with such cer tainty as to warrant me in stating it as to where the newspapers obtained this document. If it is authentic it is a necessary sequence that the informa tion was not given to the American press by the German government. It must have been given out by some one j else. "Beading tho newspaper accounts, the inference is plain that it was ob tained from the executive officials of this government- It was published for some purpose, though I will not under take to say what that purpose was, fur ther than to say it was given publicity to effect public opinion or official opin ion, or both, in the United States." Stone hinted that an allied govern ment must have furnished this govern ment with its information and added there ought to bo no secret, confiden tial relation or that Kind Between a bellieetcnt country and this nation.

LODGE DEMANDS (Continued from page one.) American public opinion. There may 'be," Stone said, slowly, "something be I hind this alleged news of which we do not know- It is the wiser course to per mit the committee to investigate." Stone, one of the president's strong ', est supporters, Beemed to take no cog nizance of the words which had just fallen from the lips of Senator Swan son, giving official authentication to the conspiracy. I Lodge retorted: "We ought to know the evidence on which we are proceed ing. I don't think that there is anything ' about my iuqury that could be distaste j f ul to the president and we ought to know about it so that we can art togeth er." Says Senate Patriotic. Senator Hardwick's objection stood ;but when the senator realized this put , the matter over until tomorrow, a hasty , movo was made to have the resolution referrc! to the foreign committee. Senator l'omerene asked that it gi there, with a request for immediate ac I tion. Senator Lodge suggested the commit tee might kill the resolution there, but democrats retorted that there was m inclination to do so. ! "If it is to be killed it might as well be killed out here in the open," Lodge said. "I don't know as there will be a to 'morrow for this sennre, " interjected i Senator Townsend, Michigan, hinting at f ilibustering and suggesting that the j armed neutrality bill mav not be suf ficient to cope with the situation. "That makes the whole matter doubt ful," he continued. "That is why the sooner we know about this, the sooner we are to act properly. ' ' "I repeat that this senate is readv to I t dancing clasa and birthday parties act and act patriotically upon anv- thing it is asked upon. Therefore we ought not to act without information.'! The parliamentary situation became tangled; objectiona flew for o time to variously worded requests for referring "I am not for war unless necessary Will Report Favorably, Finally the bill was referred to the foreign relations committee, After more than an hour's considera tion, the senate foreign relations com mittee this afternoon agreed to report out the Lodge resolution in substantial ly the form presented by Lodge. That it would puss the sena.te appear ed certain. The resolution was referred to the I'onimittee on foreign relations and the senate then took up discussion of the naval bill with constant reference to the international situation. There were hints that the foreign relations commit tee might kill the Lodge resolution. Chairman Stone insisted that it be re ferred to his committee and there in-ir indications that he desired to learn i !' president's mind before taking action. Democrats resented the insinuation that the inquiry would die in commit tee. Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, Stfg gested that if the president himself had presented the information of Germany 's plotting lo the senate, it might have been construed as equivalent to a re quest for war action by congress. As the information was first published he held that, should the president now of ficially give the full facts, the action could not be construed as a request for war, unless such u request should be specifically expressed.
