SUTHERLAND SAYS WILSOJUS RIGHT Utah Senator Iniiiti that Subma rine! Matt Give Way to Law. Not Law to Submarine. DUTY OF GOVERNMENT CLEAR WASHINGTON, March 7. Dis cussing the armed ship Issue In the senate today, Senator Sutherland of Utah, a republican member of the foreign relations committee, stood squarely behind President Wilson In his policy In dealing with Germany In the submarine negotiations. "I do not want war at any time," said Senator Sutherland, "and I pray I God that It may not come now, but I would rather have war with all Its sacrifices and suffering than that , this nation, with Its long history of j heroism and glory, should play the I poltroon when confronted by a su preme national duty, because It placea greater value upon its ease than upon Its honor. Sabmarlae Mast Yield to Law. Senator Sutherland, In discussing the legal status of armed merchant ships under International law and the rela tion thereto of the submarine, contended that the aumbarlne must yield to the law and not the law to the submarine. If tha law yields to the submarine, he said, and allows the underwater boat to Sink vessels armed defensively only with out warning and without giving passen gers and crew a chance to get to a place of safety. It will be Inviting the sinking of unarmed ships aa well, since, ho said, "it Is welt nigh Impossible for the offi cers of a submarine to determine In ad vance whether a given vessel Is armed or not. The result will be that unarmed vessels, while possessing Im munity In theory, will have none In fact." 'The question next arises and, indeed. It Is really the crucial question shall our cilisena be officially advised to forbear from traveling on belligerent merchant ressela armed for defense only? Or, in deed, shall we go further and forbid their doing so under penalty for disobedience? If I am correct In what I have atieady said, namely, that them merchant ships have the right to carry defensive arma ment. It follows that such a ship has the same status as though unarmed and thnt the right of tho neutral cltlxen to Irons port his goods or travel upon either Is the decision of our supreme court. In i great case decided many years ago and never since overruled or modified. Dnty of Government Clear. "If. therefore, a cltlxen take pasnace upon a ship so armed and lose hla life by the sinking of the ship, without warn ing, what must be the contention and claim of this government? To my minU clearly this: That the cltlxen In the exer else of a clear right has been deprived of his life by the deliberately Illegal act of the belligerent government which sent the submarine on Ha mission of death." Senator Sutherland also opposed any change In the rule with respect to the sale of munitions of war or arming mer chant ships for defense, asserting that any such change now would ba an un neutral act. Food Prices in Europe Advance During Last Year i WASHINGTON. March 7.-Enormous Increases In food prices In European cap-1 Hals, particularly those of the Teutonic allies, are ahown In a comparative state- I merit completed today by the Department of Labor's bureau of labor statistics. All food is cheaper In the allies countries than In Germany and Austria, but there have been sharp rises In prices also in England and France. Vienna has suffered most of all. Meat that sold a year ago at 20 cents a pound Is selling now for 7 cents. Many other foods have gone up In proportion. Bread prices are not given. In Berlin beef rose from S3 cents to 3.1 cents, veal from 12 to M centa and pork from JO to 0 centa. Bacon Is selling at it cents, twice as much as a year ago, and ham has risen to W cents. Lard has doubled In price. Eggs at 80 cents a dosen are twice as hlgn as a year ago. Prices In Great Britain are given as 44 per cent more than a year ago. The rise In France has been about 33 per cent and In Italy prices lave gone up very slowly for tho last twelve months. Meats alone showed an appreciable Increase. Prices In The Netherlands, the only neutral European country ahown, have risen steadily within th year, but not so rapidly as In th belligerent countries. Food on th whole costs t per cent more In th United 8tates now than a year ago, th bureau estimates. Strike on Alaska Railroad Settled -a SEWARD.

GERMAN RAIDER EM DEN IS BROKEN UP AND NO SALVAGE (Correspondence of Th Associated Press.) MELBOURNE Australia. Feb. X-It Is announced that nothing more can be don toward salving either the remains of th German aea raider Emden or any trophies from It except such as may be cast ashore. About a year ago visits paid to Xortit Keeling Irland resulted In eome of the (una and other gear of th German cruiser being removed, part of which were handed over to the commonwealth government. At the end of October, 1913, It waa decided to send the gunboat Pro tector to Cocoa to reoit as to the possi bility of salving the ship, and to remove any gear still on board that might be of Interest or value. It was found that tha stern half of the Emden had completely disappeared and a very heavy surf was still breaking over what remained. The Protector waited a week In th hope of getting a chance to board th Emden. but this wa never for an Instant pos sible. Key to th Situation-Be Want Ads.

Calnan, chief surgeon of the po lloe department, who directed the bathing of the prisoners, corroborated Bagby's statement early today by declaring that he saw Cross, who was In a cell on the second tier of steel tanks, strike tho match, after repeated warnings had been given against It. The flamea almost In stantly enveloped Cross and he was one of the first to die. Excitement ia Jaares. The report that the explosion was the result of the deliberate Intention on the part of American officials was carried to Juares almost Immediately. Intense excitement prevailed throughout the Mex' lean town and heavy armed patrols were sent out by General Oavlrla, the com mandant, to suppress disorder. The shooting of Phelps occurred shortly after dark. Eighteen Americana, all employes of the race track, were aboard the car at the time, and fled panic-stricken to the brush.. Phelps was shot In the head, shoulder and Jaw.

The announce ment Caused a sensation In the house at the moment -of a vote on what practic ally lg a proposal not to Interfere with the president's diplomatic negotiations. Representative Page today supplemented hla announcement with the following declaration: "I could not bring myself to agree with the president in the present controversy. Ho rather than embarrass my party by running again and not supporting the president fully, I choose to announce that I would not run again. The president and I have no other differences st present." "I em for a warning resolution. If one comes up on the floor today I will vote for it." "Reports today that other southern congressmen planned to follow Mr. Page's example could not be confirmed. In his letter to his constituents Mr. Page wrote: "The loan of toOO.000,000 to England by American capitalists, to say nothing of the profits of munitions manufactures, haa destroyed the semblance even of neu trality In the United State and probably will lead us Into war I will not stultify my conscience or stain my hands with the blood of my countrymen; neither will I do violence to my conscientious convictions of duty, thereby forfeiting my self-respect."

Heart failure Is bellevrd to have been the cause. Views of German Newspapers On the Action of Senate BERLIN'. March 7.-The inadequate nei received In Germany concerning the action of the United States senate with regard to the resolution of Senator Uore. warning Americana off armed merchantmen, makes It difficult for even persons who understand American gov ernmental systems to form an intelli gent conclusion regarding the meaning of the vote, hence the Germs n press Is still more in the dark and finds Itself com pelled to guess what the whole thing means. The bokal Anselger thinks that affairs remain as before the vote was taken and that President Wilson neither succeeded j n getting . approval for his submarine attitude, nor did his opponents manage to secure a vote of disapproval of Mi eourse. It Is the opinion of the news paper that the senate eald neither yes. nor no. but thnt It postponed taklnir a stand and left Itself with a free hand for the future and the president free to pro ceed with the negotiations with Germany along the former lines. Die Tost takes a more optimistic view. It says that If Senator Gore and his friends should continue working so suc cessfully against the president, a turn Iri favor of the German cause may be ex pected soon. "As yet," says Die Post, "It is too early to predict that, but It Is satisfying to see that Senator Gore bas brought sharp defeat to tle Anglo philes." The Taglleche Rundschau, deeply pes simistic, says: "The tabling of the resolution gives President Wilson all he needsi "Freedom for handling the simmarlne question and time gained. He will, therefore, be very satisfied with his defeat, which perhaps he had ordered. He Is not hindered In his future decisions by any formal senate de cision, and hence can play dictator unre strainedly, since Secretary Lansing, who Slono under the American constitution, could oppose him Is his creature and car ries out President Wilson's orders with pleasure." The Morgen Tost finds In the senate's action evasion cf tae question, 'but de clares that In any event the vote cannot he looked upon as a victory for president Wilson. The Frankfurter Zeltung considers the vote was not a victory for President Wilson. "It would premature." says tho newspaper, "to predict further develop ments, but one thing Is certain, namely. that the Anglophile In Washington suf fered a defeat which must compel slower going."
