THE ARIZONA POTATO
 SITUATION |S GOOD

Phoenix, Ariz, Aug 3O-That there are no potatoes being plowed under by farmers in any part of California or Ari- zona because of alleged inabil- ity of growers to find a good market for them, and that all Arizona tubers are in brisk de- mand at good prices, not only in Arizona, but also in many States further East, is the de- claration today of the State Council of Defense. The an- nouncement is made in refuta- tion of widely disseminated re- ports that hundred acres of po- taoes are being plowed under or are rotting on the ground in the west because of alleged in ability of growers to sell them at price equal to the cost of production.
 Regarding the present de- mand for tubers and reports that they were going to waste in many localities, E. P. Taylor, of the University of Arizona, today issued the following statement:
 Our investigation, covering practically the entire South west, failed to show a single in- stance where farmers have or are blowing under their pota- toes. Some weeks ago farmers in California were unable to dispose of their potatoes and considerable loss was threaten ed. Publicity given to the sit nation and an appeal to the public to eat more potatoes and onions, however, remedied the situation almost over night. Since then the price of pota- toes received by the growers has gone up more than a cent pound and there is a ready market for all of the good pota- toes that are available!

la Toilette is ASKED
TO APPEAR ON TUESDAY
Senate Committee Will Hold Public
ST. Hearings to Investigate His
- st. Paul Speech.
ONLY STATEMENT OF FACTS
Authority Does Not Extend TO Wis
consin Senator's Right to Make
Nonpartisan League Speech nor
Into Motives of His Critics.
IBy Associated Pressl


WASHINGTON. October 12.-Senator
La Toilette. of Wisconsin. was to-day
invited, by the Senate Committee in
vetigating his alleged dsloyal speech
at st. Paul to appear next Tuesday
before the committee for hearing
regarding assertions in his address.
Tho hearings probably will be pub
lie. and will be confined to the state
ment of facts in the speech, particu-
larry regarding Mr.. La Follette's state
mont that former Secretary Bryan APP
pealed to President Wilson to keep
passengers off the Lusitania because
OF ammunition alleged to be in her
cargo.
The committee advised the Senator
that its investigating authority does
not extend to his right to make the
Nonpartisan League speech, nor into
the motives OF his critics.
POMERENE REPLIES
TO LA TOILETTE
To the letter sent to the committee
yesterday by Senator La Toilette, ask
Ing hearing and suggesting extension
OF the investigation. Chairman Pome-
rene to-day replied:
referring to the request contained
in your letter the subcommittee beEs
to advise YOU that 1t does not concedo
that It's powers extend to an inquiry
into your right to make the speech de-
lfvered by YOU in st. Paul-that ques-
tion being reserved by the full com
mittce for its consideration-nor does
it believe itself authorized to inquire
into the motives or anmus of those
making attacks on you.
The subcommittee desires. however,
to afford you an opportunity to be
heard and TO inform the committee
with reference to the accuracy of va
rious statements contained in the
speech referred to. and to that end.
YOU are invited to attend Mt the en-
suing session Of the committee in the
Capitol next Tuesday"
Senator La Toilette is expected to he
the first witness on Tuesday, and to
submit much data towards substan-
tiating his statements other witnesses
may be called later. but the first and
most important question which the
committee plans to investigate is the
OF Senator La Toilette for his
statements regarding the Lusitania.
The committee is awaiting the state
ment from Mr.. Bryan regarding the
incident. 1t has not been determined
whether Mr.. Bryan will be asked to
appear.

ALL WANTED FRONT SEATS
Many and Ingenious Excuses Given
5, by Attendants at Billy Sundays
New York Meeting.

Judging from the thousands Of ex-
cuses that were handed to me by per-
sons who wanted to get seats at the
front Of the Tabernacle, Uncle Sam
will have hard time in obtaining men
and women in fit condition to do the
arduous work connected with the
war;" said a man who put in ten
strenuous weeks as an usher at the
Billy Sunday meetings at New York.
Deafness appeared to be the prin-
cipal complaint. I never thought SO
many persons in this city were af-.
f1icted with bad hearing. Lame men
and women became so common at the
meetings that we ushers never paid
any attention to them unless 1t was
obvious that they were really the VIC
tins of infirmities.
"Some persons physically perfect
even went so far as to be wheeled to
the Tabernacle in invalids' chairs just
to get good place near the evangelist.
And the number of persons who suf-
fered from internal disorders that
might result fatally If they got into
jam! I'm certainly glad it Is all over,
as was near to nervous prostration."
The ex-usher admitted that he was
on the point of quitting his place many
times, but he feared to weaken and
have to stand the jeers of his wife and
his relatives.

WHALES STOOD ON HEADS
According to Ships officers, Large
School Certainly Acted in a Most
Peculiar Manner.

This is whale story, concerning
whales that stood on their heads, and
all vouched for by officers of fruit
steamer which arrived recently from
the tropics, according to a recent issue
of the Boston Evening Transcript,
And, seriously, the chief officer of the
steamer intends to make written re.
port about the whales to the federal
bureau of fisheries. The whales were
sighted south Of Nantucket shoals
,lightship. During their respective
careers at sea the officers have seen
many whales, but none which behaved
in the manner of those sighted on this
"trip, and it was the peculiar behavior
of the leviathans, together with their
number, which attracted attention. Be-
tween a. m. and p. M, according to
the chief officer, nearly 100. whales
were seen. For the most part, they ap'
peared to be in shoal water, and from
time to time would dive and remain
poised with their tail-ends protruding
twenty or more feet above the surface,
according to the size of the Individual
whale. In the opinion of the ships Of
ficers, the whales pursued these tactics
to obtain food fish swimming close to
the bottom. On the other hand, num-
Der of the whales again, according to
the mariners, floated on the surface
apparently asleep and We're not dis
turbed by the approach of the steamer.
In addition to the story, the steamer
brought $4,000 punches of bananas.

Case Long in English Courts.

A law case which was begun in 134S
and was interrupted because Richard
de Maundeyille had to leave for the
war in France, was resumed recently
in the chancery, says the London Elk
press. The point at issue was the
right to hold a market at Stowmarket,
Suffolk, and the suit was originally
brought by the abbot of st. Osyth, Els
sex, in the twenty-second year of Ed
ward II, against Richard de Maunde-
vile. According to the abbot, who
said he was lord of the manor, Rich
ard had wrongfully obtained the grant
of the right to hold market In Stow
market, and his assertion was ito the
grave damage Of the said abbot"
Richard claimed the kings protection,
and eventually the case was adjourned
sine die because Of his departure
abroad.
