ELLIS WRITES CRISP LETTER Kansas CM ran Addresses On of These Tart Missive to Faeh Vice President of River Con areas. George C. Call of Ploux City, secretary of the Missouri River Navigation con gress, may be asked for hi resignation by the execut've rotincU as a result of having a meeting called for Sioux City this week without authority from the president: for refusing to honor orders drawn on the setrttary-treasurer In ac cordance with the constitution of the congress, and for- statements "calculated to disrupt the organisation." The charges against Mr. Call are macle In a letter written by President Edgar C. Ellis of Kansas City to Mr. Call, copies of which have been sent to all the vice presi dents. Coneressman Bills doe not beat around the buh any In charging the secretary treasurer nt Sioux City with conduct which has the appearrnce of a plan '.0 break up the organisation Just at a time when It Is getting In shape to do effective work for the Missouri river. Congress man Ellis also charges the secretary treasurer with being an lngrate, as It was upon Mru Ellis' motion that Mr. Call was made secretary-treasurer of the organi sation. Mr. Ellis wint o Bismarck to attend a meeting In the interests of the river and ha had two small Jobs of printing done. Though Mr. Call has all the money col lected for the work of the congrtss, ha has failed to pay Mr. Ellis the expense money for the trip to Rlsmarck and also the printing bills, though the constitution provides that the money shall be paid on order of the president. Trying; to Dlsrnpt. The congressman from Kansas City say the Sioux Cltyan Is attempting to create feeling against Kansas City and the lcwer river section and will disrupt the congress by his misrepresentations about the atti tude of the president and the work being done on the river below Kanras City. Mr. Ellis calls attention to the fact that the Sioux City secretary questions the motives of uch men as Lawrence M. Jones and himself In their work for the river. The -lce president are, It is understood. standing firmly with Congressman Ellis, who has been a hard worker for the river for a number of years, while the secre tary at Sioux City made his bow In the river work when he accompanied A. B. Beall and others from Sioux City to the river banquet given by the Omaha Com mercial club isst winter. But those who are Interested In the river are determined that the controversy be tween the president and secretary of the organization shall not hinder the work. Report of Captnln Schala.
