Bag of Potatoes Said to Be Over
TWENTY-FIVE Pounds Short.

Twenty-Five and one-half pounds OF
vines were found in a sack of potatoes
received here yesterday by wholesale
produce dealer The sack, which was
shipped from North Carolina point,
contained only sixty-two pounds of po-
tatoes, the vines making up the total
weight of eighty-four and one-half
pounds. Assistant Seaer of Weights and
Measures Howe happened TO be present
when the sack was opened and he has
issued a certificate setting forth the cir
cumStance. District officials cannot take
any action in the matter as the potatoes
were shipped from a point outside of their

Would Sustain the Recall.

The President is understood to have in
formation that the people of Arizona are
somewhat resentfu of the criticism
aimed at that feature of their constitu-
ton, and that out of spite If nothing
else. they would vote overwhelmingly for
its adoption, if it is put TO vote again
as proposed in the House resolution.
With that knowledge. it is claimed, the
President will not sign the House resolu-
ton If it is passed by the Senate.
The adoption of the Nelson substitute
by the Senate may complicate the stua-
ton, however, and DELAY the final ad-
journment of Congress. for many claim
that the House would not accept the sub
stitute. That would force a deadlock be-
tween the two houses. and the result
would be much in doubt.
Three speeches on the judicial recall are
announced for Monday-by Senators
Borah Of Idaho, Root Of New York and
Poindexter of Washington There Will
PROBABLY be one or two more TO speak
and then will follow the vote.

Admiral Must Command a Fleet.

An admiral with a fleet of one vessel
is an anomaly that naval etiquette will
not tolerate. That explains the issue Of
an order from the Navy Department de-
taching Rear Admiral Sidney A. Stanton
from command of the fifth division of the
Atlantic feet, and assigning him to duty
on the general board August 49, The
vessels OF the fifth division have been
scattered all over the Atlantic on spe-

where Admiral Stanton had only one
