TROO ON COMMITTEE' S TOES Resolution Offered by Committee Which Eliminates References .. to Money Trust Scientific ' Question , Washington, Feb. 9. William Jft i nings Bryan will be the first witness to be summoned before 'the House Committee on Banking and Currency to testify In the "ihoney trust" Ihvfs tigation, which the Democratic caucus repudiating Mr. Bryan's demand for a special commlttee,f referred to stand ing committees of the House. Mr. Bryan trod on the tOes of the Democratic members of the commit tee when he recently declared that the1 'money trust" thought it -could con trol the committee. The commit:ee fact that the Bryan adherents,, in the caucus Weanesaay nignt, orxerea ? a resolution which was adopted, express ing confidence in- the integrity of their, colleagues on that committee - , "The committee ia a unit,'' aid Rep resentative Pu jo, chairman '.of .the Banking and Currency Committee to day, "in the decision that Mr Bry&n must explain to us exactly what-what he meant." ' . ' . I :. - ';- . , l' This is what Mr. I Bryan is credited with saying about the committee, con cerning which the Democratic mem bers wish to question him:. ;,;;?;,; 'Democrats beware! The money trust having failed in its effort to, pre vent an investigation, is now-trying to force an investigation by the bank ing committee. . The fact that , tha money trust wants, that committee in trusted with the investigation is .proof positive that it thinks. -it ,can,contfol mar committee. : ". y: .' ' In marked contrast itq; the proposals, made by representative Henry,. c Texas, chairman of the Rules Commit-, tee, for an investigation of the "money '. trust, was a resolution introduced to day by Representative Pujo, eliminat ing all specific, reference to. the, "mon ey trust" , . , , . ,.,. y.-i The Pujo resolution was - approved by the majority members of the.com mlttee, to which the Democratic cau cus referred most of .the inquiry -.' The Pujo Banking and Currency Committee resolution was referred to the Rules Committee. It ' sets forth that the "committee is desirous of se curing full and complete information regarding the banking and currency conditions of the country for the pur pose of determining what legislation is needed" and authorizes it to sit as a whole or by sub-committee during the sessions or recess of Congress, and to compel the attendance of wit nesses. . . ' . - There are no specific references' in the resolution to control of money by financial groups and their domination of railroads, Industrial corporations National banks and the New.;: York stock exchange and clearing house such as contained in the Henry Teso lution refused by the caucus. . . ; V , "This resolutionhas been-intro'duc-' d by me upon my own responsibility and reflects only my personal views,' said Representative j Pujo, after fJ. the conference of the Democrats f , "There has been much loose Ualk "J" uninformed persons about . monbp rlistic control of financial conditions In this country. Should such condi tions exist no doubt legislation along Proper lines will not only be recom mended by the Committee on Banking ana Currency, but will be enacted by be House. The monetary system of tnis country, in ! my judgment, .is a scientific; and not a political question. " should be investigated and eonsid ered along these lines." - . . - . TEDDY WILL ACCEPT.

The lchurch has the mes sage1, the field awaits'the hand of the harvester, was the burden- of the score or more of addresses delivered to the religious gathering- today, and the need of the hour la consecrated man to carry it.. The financial feature of the problem was embodied in a resolu tion by Dr. Cromer, which carried unanimously, levying an assessment of $2.50 per. capita: on-each member of the Lutheran Church s for Missions. Robert IE. Speer and J. Camnbell wics oi iNew xors, national ngures in the Laymen's Missionary v Move ment, made inspiring addresses to the convention both afternoon and night. Dr. George B. Cromer, of Newberry, a. u.', was re-elected chairman: W. p. secretary, and Kenneth Baksr, of Gerenwood, S. C, treasurer. An. Interesting feature of the morn ing session was art open Iconference concerning the workings of the . new financial plan of the church. Men, who have-tried the plan told of their- expe riences in short addresses, each speaker, being limited to two minutes. The conference ; was opened ? by Dr. E. C.: Cronk, the secretary of the ex ecutive board, who outlined the plan which he Insisted was the scriptural plan , of v finance and ' consequently must, of necessity be the right plan. This plan provides for. the . "laying by" on each ' Sunday; by each - Chris tian, as the individual has been pros pered, v Dr. Cronk urged the church jnen 'to get' away from the old- ways and do the Lord s work as.. the scrip tures teach.
