WASHINGTON. D. C., March 23.— !
Declaring he is ready to back Presi
dent Wilson to the limit, now that the j
United States has gone war crazy, |
Senator Jones of Washington issued J
the following statement:
“The President, acting as he be- j
lteves within his constitutional rights I
in arming American ships, his actj
becomes the act of the country and I j
will back him in it to the limit, but'
hope he will see to it that no Ameri-;
can ship goes from our port armed by |
the government with guns manned by j
men of the navy carrying munitions
of war or generally recognized con
traband.
"We must not, however, deceive
ourselves. The act of the President
is a long step towards war and the
country should be prepared to meet
(his evantuality at any moment.”

SEATTLE, March 23.—With the
Seattle market badly broken, potatoes
are still able to hold up their heHds
at from $25 to $40 per ton today.
The lower figure was offered by com
mission agents this morning but sev
eral dealers stated that they had not
offered less than $40. Growers seem
resolved to hold for a higher price be
fore letting the old crop go, but it
is believed the market will go lower
by the end of the week and new po
tatoes are coming in rapidly and are
selling at 9 to 10 cents per pound to
day. Humors of a possible investiga
tion by authorities is believed to have
been the cause of the break in the
market.
Butter dropped another cent this
morning and is wholesaling at 39 to
40 cents. Butter fat brings 42 cents.
Eggs remain steady at 23 cents and
are being bought up in large quanti

It is estimated that 1,200,000 eggs
will be used for setting withing the
next few weeks.
