POTATO SHORTAGE
is WORLD WIDE
Dealers Say Prices Have Doubled Over
Those Of Year Ago--European
Crop Failure.

New York, Dec. Interpretations Of
potatoes are beginning to arrive in this
port, the main bulk of them coming
from Ireland. Up to date this fall, ac-
eording to figures obtained at the APP
praiser's stores, about $4,000 sacks have
arrived.
Wholesalers quote Maine potatoes in
the market here at 50 sack, and say
this price is just about double the
price Of year ago. Since early fall,
they say, the price has risen steadily,
and they look for 81 sack by Febru-
airy.
Not only is there a scarcity of POI
tatoes in this country, but from prac-
tieally all the potato producing countries
of the world reports have been received
of abnormal shortages. The hot wave
of July last, which did very great dam
age in drying up ground crops, was not
confined to this country. Germany pro-
duces one-third Of the potato crop Of
the world and was bad sufferer. The
shortage reported abroad is so great that
in some quarters it is doubted whether
there will be any substantial importa-
tion of potatoes here, the fear being that
Europe will need the whole Of its crops
to take care Of its own needs.

CALIFORNIA WOMEN ACTIVE.

Los Angeles, Dec. 9.-Leaders of the

WOULD CLOSE THREE YARDS.
Those at Portsmouth, Boston and New
York Named.

Washington, Dee. Narragansett
Bay, r. T., has been selected as the site
of one of three great Atlantic coast navy
yards, proposed by Secretary of the
Navy Meyer in his reorganization plans,
the others being at Norfolk and Guam
tanamo
This will mean the elimination OF the
New York, the Boston and the Ports
mouth n. IT,, yards.
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, yester-
day had long conference with Secre-
tary Meyer, who conveyed the impress
sion that the plan which had been I'M
der consideration for some time by a
joint army and navy board had adj
yanced to stage where it was almost
ready for presentation to Congress.
Boston, Mayor Fitzgerald said, would
vigorously oppose such change, all
though, according to the proposed plan,
workers in the Narragansett yard would
be drawn from Boston, Providence and
New York.
Secretary Meyer pointed out that
when the Panama canal was opened the
battleships fleet would divide much of
its time between the east and the west
coasts of the United States and would
lessen the need for navy yards on the
Atlantic side.
Narragansett bay was selected as the
site for the northern yard, because 1t
is large enough to provide harbor area
for the anchorage of the biggest fleet
and its entrance could easily be pro-
tected.

WITNESS IN L0RIMER
CASE STUBS HIS TOE
Chicago Car Conductor Contradicts Tes-
timony Given at Previous Hear
ings

Washington, Dec BE. j. Bell, a Chi
eago street car conductor. testified be-
fore the Lorimer senatorial investigat-
ing committee yesterday in an effort Of
the defense to show that Sidney Var
brough was in Chicago on the night OF
May "a, 1909, instead Of in hotel room
at Springfield, ILL.,. with Charles A.
White, the state legislator, who made
a confession Of bribery. White had
sworn that he was in Springfield Bell
corroborated Motorman George Glossby,
swearing that he saw Yarbrough on. a
trolley car the night of May IA.
Bell is one of several witnesses called
by the defense in its effort to discEedit
the testimony of White as to what hap
pened at Springfield in 1909 when the
legislature was balloting in the election
which sent Mr.. Lorimer to the Sen
ate.
Senator Lorimer attended the hearing
yesterday.
When Bell was taken in hand for
cross examination he contradieted much
of his former testimony. Reference TO
the record of the second Browne trial
disclosed that his statements yesterday
were substantially different in answer to
practically the same questions.
Senators Lea, Kenyon and Jones ques-
toned the witness closely, and he adj
mitted that he had changed his testi-
mony materially. AT first he maintained
that he had testified at the Brown trials
from his memory of having seen Var
brough on the night of May "a. Under
questioning he admitted that he had
fixed that date in his mind by talking
with Gloss before he went on the stand
in the second Browne trial.

Dollar a Day" Pension Bill is
Likely to Pass
BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS
National Senate and House Likely t
Pass the Sherwood Pension Bill ana
Give the President Chance
to Sign or Veto.

Washington, Dec. 0.-Advocates of in.
creased pensions for Civil war veterans
battled on the floor OF the House yes
terday in the final stages of the fight to
pass the Sherwood "dollar day" pen
sion bill
The contest lay between those favor
ing this bill, which establishes pension
based on length of service, and the advo-
Gates OF the Sulloway age pension bill
which provides maximum pension Of
S36 per month at the age of IS.
BY the Sherwood bin, no pension will
be allowed a veteran having an income
of $1,000 a year. Strenuous objection
was made to this provision, those op.
posed declaring it would "penalizc
thrift"
Debate viii continue until Tuesday,
with the decisive vote late Tuesday aft
ernoon.
Although Washington has already de-
cided that the House will pass the bill,
that the Senate will probably follow
suit, and that Mr.. Taft will not risk his
political life by vetoing it, the galleries
and the occupants of the floor alike
settled down with keen interest in the
debate.

DECEIVED BY MCNAMARA.

OPPOSITION TO LAST GASP"

London, Dec. 0.-At the opening at
Bootle, Lancashire, of the Unionist cam
paign against home rule, the Opposi-
tion leader, Andrew Bonar Law, said
that his party had determined to fight
the proposal TO the last gasp. Many

cause they were tired to death of the
Irish problem and glad to see it out
OF the way. The duty of the Union.
lists was TO convince them that it would
bring Ireland no peace, but the sword.
ireland wanted less politics and more
industry. Mr.. Redmond and his friends
were promising Ireland more politics
and less industry. They were wise in
trying to get home rule while they
could, the speaker continued. This was
their last chance, because every year
the demand for it was diminishing in
Ireland Another ten years, he said,
and the agitation will have died out.
He declared IL was utterly impossible
to pass the bill in this parliament.

CLEARING UP DYNAMITING
On Pacific Coast--Gompers Knew Of Plot
Says Burns-Arrests of Leaders
of Trade Union Movement
Expected.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 9.--With
United States deputy marshals search
ing for 1913 witnesses subp9naed to ap.
pear before the federal grand jury, that
body's second day of investigation into
the sources of an alleged nation wide
dynamite conspiracy began here yester-
day.
ortie u. McManigal, who confessed
to many of the dynamitings, occupied
the entire time of that body Thurs
day in telling his story.
1t was said yesterday that in all prob
ability no indictments would be re-
turned for week and perhaps for even
longer.
Information gathered here indicated
that the scope Of the Los Angeles in
yestigation is not entirely determined
by the department of justice at Wash
ington,
In view of the similar investigation
ia progress at Indianapolis, it is possible
that the one here will be used to "clean
up" the Pacific coast angles of the al
fair, leaving the wider range for the
East.
There seemed to be no doubt yes
terday that prominent labor leaders on
the Pacific coast would be called upon
TO aid the government in its work, in
the capacity of witnesses.
That J. B. Mcnamara superintended
the placing Of bombs at the homes OF
Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, proprietor Of
the Los Angeles Times, and Felix Zee
handles, secretary OF the Merchants and
Manufacturers association, was the as
sertion made yesterday by one OF the
states detectives who worked on the
case.
When the McNamaras would go to
San Quentin penitentiary was as much
mystery as at any time since sentence
was pronounced.
A report that they already had gone,
was denied by the sheriff and on good
authority ii was learned that their com
mitment papers, without which they can
not be taken to the penitentiary, had
not reached the sherif's hands.
It was informally said yesterday that
Assistant United States Attorney Regain
and Others connected with the grand
jury inquiry had made no change in
their plans concerning the call OF the
McNamaras before the grand jury to tes-
tify. The brothers have said they would
not testify to anything.
While federal activities attracted the
larger share of general attention here,
other possibilities of no mean size were
seen in the coming arnignment of Burt
II. Franklin, an investigator employed
bv the Mcnamara defense, who was ar
rested on charge Of bribery and who
will have his preliminary hearing next
Monday.
