SENATOR STONE A SENSATION
Missouri Senator Exposes, in Open
Session, Naval Secrets.

Washington, March 3.-Naval Off
GERS and administration officials are
incensed at Senator Stones disclos-
ure in the senate debate today that
the navy had planned equipping mer-
chant ships with light, swift subma-
rine chasers to guard them against
submarines in the prohibited zones.
They regarded it as fortunte that
more of their plans had not been
disclosed in the heat of the senator's
opposition to the armed neutrality
bill, but were chagrined that so much
had been said, especially in view of
the fact that the senate only recent
ly, at the request of the military
departments, passed bill making 1t
a crime to publish the government S
secrets.
Secretary Daniels was in the cap
itol when Senator Stone made his
statement, but refrained from max
ing comment. Naval officers were
not SO reserved.

Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-Market is a little stronger,
with fancy quoting at $1.1O@1.75 and
cookers at 65075c. Stocks are NOV
ing better and buying is becoming
freer. The Chicago market shows
firm tone and volume of business is
large. Prices remained unchanged
Other Fruits-O Oranges and lemons
hold at the same level, with former
quoting at 1925 for fancy and $2.5O@
2.75 for choice. Business next week
probably will be good owing to Orange
day at the end. Grapefruit is firmer
at $3.50, with indications of still high
er figures.
Potatoes-Producers ideas of spud
values are still very much in advance
of the market, which is quoted this
week at $3.5O@3.75. At Chicago the
market shows continued active trade
with firm tendencies.
Other Vegetables-No local cabbage
is on the market at present and the
California variety is quoted at 500
$50 Turnips and parsnips are getting
very scarce, and lettuce has been adj
vanced sharply, head quoting at S5c
to S1.15 per dozen and 1925 @4.25 per
crate. Hothouse is also up at $40
.25 per box. Celery is higher at $1.15
@1.25 per dozen.
Provisions.
Butter Market is still very firm
and demands holding up well in spite
of the advanced figures. Chicago mar
ket practically unchanged, but little
steadier in tone. Prices about the
same, with creamery extras quotable
at 42c.
Eggs-While the local supply has
been curtailed somewhat from the
cold weather, in other sections there
has been no falling off in production
with the result that the local market
has held down somewhat and is still
quoting at $11 wholesale.
Dressed Meats-Beef, both COW an6
steer is up about 1 cent, with quota
tions at 13014c and 14@15c. While
hogs are higher, dressed pork is still
quoted at former figures, and this is
also the case with mutton and lamb.

Some survivors were landed near

these 90 were saloon passengers, AZ sec

twenty Americans. Besides the Hoys
there were several other women.
Another complication for the United
States may arise from the fact that the
Laconia had aboard a large amount OF
