The baggage of Count Won Bern

POTATOES BEGGING
ON CHICAGO MARKET

Chicago March 2.-Ten more cars
of potatoes. were added to the 35 that
yesterday went begging on the local
market, today, and as result the price
of the aristocratic spud dropped to
lower levels than it has been for
weeks. Fancy westerns were quoted
at $3.50 per bushel wholesale today.
This is drop of more than rs cents
since the beginning of the week. Min =.
nesota and Wiseonsins were priced at
$40 and the demand was very weak.
Commission men frankly attributed
the unprecedented condition to the
housewives boycott inaugurated a
week ago tomorrow.

potato men" thousands of dollars.
Eastern orders are being cancelled in
large numbers. 'Hysteria" among
jobbers. caused by the boycott, is
blamed by commission men for the
disappearance of the market.

PLEA FOR DEFENSE
OF,PACIFIC COAST
BRINGS RESULTS
Senate Provides Naval Base
for San Francisco, After
Note of Warning From
Senator Phelan.

Washington, March 2.-The senate
the amendment to the navy bill, ap-
propriating $1,500,OO0 for a naval base
on San Francisco bay. The appropria-
tion was strongly urged by the navy
department.
The department had pointed out that
the Mare Island navy yard is not
equipped for repairing the super dread
naught battleships now under con-
struction.
Senator Phelan, California, addressed
the senate late last night at length in
support of the amendment.
GERMANY AMBITIOUS.
1--WE must establish such a base as
recommended by the Helm commission
on our Pacific coast" urged Phelan. "It
is not going too far to say Germany
probably intended, after parceling
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona tc
Mexico, to parcel out California, Ore
'gon and Washington perhaps tc
Japan"
Phelan made the statement follow
ing receipt of President Wilson'S let
ter saying the Zimmerman Mexico
Japan plot letter IS authentic.
This" Phelan declared, 'is wei
within their power to do, after the war
or for that matter during the war;"
COULD TAKE THE COAST.
"Our own knowledge of the facts,
Phelan said. must show us withou
any doubt or equivocation that it |!
well within the power of these govern
ments to take the Pacific coast.
What would 1t cost to recover 1t
