Astronomers Debate Concerning Character of Latest Heavenly
 Body Discovered At Flagstaff
Lowell Observatory Direc- tor Contends It Is Planet While Californian Re- flutes Idea.

Flagstaff Ariz., April Is P}-De- nial to the contrary, Dr. V. M. ;lipher, director of the Lowell ob- aervatory here, believes evidence in ,,icates that the recently discovered planet N is the long sought trans Neptunian planet, and is not a comet.
 Commenting on articles appearing in current issues of scientific publi- cations, Dr. Slipher said misinter- pretation of his announcement of the discovery was evident.
 No announcement of the discov- cry was made until Lowell astrono- mers were sure that it was the -Neptunian planet" he said, and I have at no time, intentional ly at least, intimated that there was any doubt in Lowell observatory of- ticials' minds, including my own, that the point of light is anything but trans-Neptunian planet. Any inference to the contrary is a mis- interpretation of technical terms.
 Reaffirms Belief
 March 13, when the announce ment of the discovery was made we believed it to be the ninth member of the planetary family and SC stated. Today, we are more firm in that belief in that all our observa- tions and computations confirm the first announcement"
 "On February 1S," pr. Sliphel said, ''an inspection of some pho. 1ographic plates taken five weeks previously, showed faint point o1 star. like light. Subsequent plates showed the same spot. After carefu investigation of dozens of these plates, showing the astral body: journey across the heavens, it wa; announced on March 10 that tho long sought rans-Neptunian planet whose existence was predicted b, Dr. Percival Lowell many year ago, had been discovered.
 This announcement was no made until Lowell astronomers. in cluding myself, were sure that i really was the trans-Neptunian body
 Our orbit computations and ob scrvations since February shoV definitely that it is trans-Neptunial and affords strong evidence O planetary nature. It has no come tary appearances.
 These computations have show that the planets orbit is more co centric and extensive than was a first believed. The orbit is in tn form of an cllipse.
 Ut is impracticable at this tim 10 make any definite estimate as { the distance travelled by the nintl planet in traversing it's orbit.
 "Our computations, however, hay reached the point where we can sa that the trans-Neptunian planet approximately 41.S5 astronomica units from the earth. In the lay mans language, this is equal to 1 times as far as it is from the cart to the sum-"

SHIPMENTS

ed in lowering prices of the vegetables
and Cutting the market. Shipments
became so heavy. it is stated, that COM
mission merchants had to refuse some
OF them, realizing they would be unable
to remit even SO much as express
charges.
Dealers offered buShel baskets of the
vegetables as low as so cents this morn
ihg, making efforts to sell the choicest
receipts around 81. In some instances,
1t is stated, receipts were not in the
best condition and it became necessary
to call in food inspectors to make con-
formations.
There was no dumping of surplus
stock in the river, such as was reported
done in New York this week, local laws
preventing such disposition of refuse of
any kind. Every effort is being made
by food inspectors and commission mer-

their best to salvage the surplus stock
