SENATE DEBATES AT LENGTH
 NATIONS FOREIGN RELATIONS
little Opposition to Presidents Re-
 quest For Armed Neutrality.

Washington, March 2 - President Wilson's bill to authorize policy of armed neutrality was pressed toward passage in the senate tonight with a debate running the whole scale of the nations foreign relations.
 The measure which the White House has announced 1t desires as a substi- tute for the less sweeping bill passed by the house last night developed lit tie evidence of determined opposition It gave senators long-awaited oppor- tunity, however. to declare their con- victions in the International crisis and the debate proceeded with deliberation despite the knowledge that it now is senate action on which the president Is awaiting.
 No Party Lines.
 There were no party lines, and most of the pacifist element of the senate declared willingness to fall in behind the president in his move for an armed policy.
 Senator Stone. head of the foreign relations committee. however, by vir- tue of his position the logical adminis- tration spokesman on such questions, withdrew from the task as soon as the armed neutrality bill was brought in by his committee. He said candor would not permit him to take the floor for the measure. and submitted an amendment to exempt munitions car rying ships from the protection to be extended other merchantmen.
 La Toilette Ceases FiIibuster.
 To Senator Hitchcock. and Senator Lodge, the ranking democratic and re- publican committeeman, fell the lead ership. Senator La Toilette, about whose attitude there had been some uneasiness, announced that he would talk at length on the bill but had no intention of fiilibustering.
 Galleries Were Crowded.@@
 As the debate proceeded into inc night there were many predictions that it would %e well toward morning be- fore vote could be reached. The dramatic features of the situation were heightened by crowded galleries and the attendance of several ca abinet members and many representatives on

governments, but by intelligent plan ming and constructive action, in con- 1 junction with the operation of normal forces" Urging a full inquiry into the cause of advancing prices, he said: Satisfactory Explanation Impossible. "A full and satisfactory explanat ton of prevailing prices is not possible on the basis of existing knowledge. Where the food supply is located, who owns it, what may be the difficulties of se- curing it, whether the local market conditions are due to car shortage, whether there is artificial nanipula- tion or control no one can state with certainty. It is essential that we have the facts not only because of the light they might throw on present facts, but also because they are prerequisite for the working out of a. permanent just and economical system of marketing"
 Limit Waste in Kitchen
 Limitation of waste in the kitchen he pointed out, would do much towards affording partial and immediate relief from oppressive prices.
 AS a nation" he added, we seem to have a disdain of economizing. Of course the waste in families of very limited means is slight but in families of moderate and ample means it is considerable. Even if the estimate of S700, ,000,00 waste in the country as prepared by our experts were cut in half, it would still leave an enormous waste"
 Farmers Must Be Encouraged. Prices must be maintained at cer- tain level or farmers will not increase their output, MT. Houston declared and either the government or the communi- ty must guarantee reasonable price.
 Crops Generally Were Large.
 Although the grain and potato crops fell off in production. the secretary said, crops generally were as large or larger than the five year average.
 Tt is evident he continued, that the public has failed to look at all facts involved, especially in the case of wheat The wheat crop for the current year was reported to be 10000, 900 bushel against a five year average of FPS, 900 900 and the record crop of 1915, or 1,026, ,O00, 900. Apparently the public has compared the crop of 1916 solely with the record crop of 1915 and failed to take into account the unusually large carry-over from that year into the present year of 164,0oo,0oo bushels or more.
 Increase of Meat and Wheat.
 The secretary pointed to an incrcas- ing meat supply and to a largely i'm creased acreage of wheat last fall and predicted a large increase this spring. A big yield on this acreage. he says, should give the country a billion bushels wheat crop.

ABNORMAL DECREASES IN
 PRICES OF STAPLE FOODS Is Ascribed to Establishment of an
 Automatic Boycott.

New York, March 2-Apnormal de- creases in the prices of such staple food commodities as potatoes and on ions since last Monday morning, as compared with the prices of February 22, have saved the people of New York city approximately $5 900 OO0 Commissioner of Weights and Meas ures Hartigan estimated in a state ment issued tonight. He attributed these decreases to the common sense of the people who established an au- tomatic boycott by refusing to buy either potatoes or onions, thus appIy- ing the memorable law of supply and demand.
 MT. Hartigan said he had received letters and telegrams from producers and shippers in all parts of the coun- try offering large quantities of all kinds of foodstuffs at prices in some cases 30 per cent less than New York wholesale prices. Among the supplies offered were 500, 900 bushels of pota- toes and 100000 bushels of onions.

OBITUARY.
Michael F. Conry.

Washington, March 2.-Representa- tive Michael F. Conry. of New York city, democratic member of congress for four terms, and reelected for a fifth, die1 at a hospital here late to- day after a long illness from kidney trouble. He was 47 years old. In spite of his failing health he had been at the capitol quite regularly until last week and as a member of the ways and means committee had worked hard in connection with framing the revenue bill and other legislation.
 The death of one of the democratic members elect may have an impor- tant effect on the political complexion of the house in the sixty fifth con greas. The democrats and republicans elected g15 members each and there are five independents upon whom de- bends which party shall feoPganiSe the next house.
 If an extra session were called tine democrats probably would go into the organization fight eHly si4 streng.
