WHEAT PRICE LEAPS ABOVE HIGH RECORD

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, April 5. Although on some ' transactions wheat reached a new record price today for May delivery, the market as a whole soon developed a decided downward.,tendency. More hopeful reports as to conditions for winter wheat gave an advantage to the bears, and so too did gossip as to possible government control of prices. Besides, there were advices at hand purporting to show that foreign holdings of wheat in Chicago were small. Opening prices, which ranged from c decline to half cent advance with May at $2.01 to $2.02 and July at $1.69 to $1.704 were followed by a material setback all around and then something of a rally. Corn duplicated the action of wheat. New record prices were touched, but were not well maintained. After opening off to M advance, the market underwent a general sag but then scored a fresh upturn. Oats swayed with other cereals.

Business was active and about evenly

divided. New top values in the hog market produced a similar showing in provisions. Decreased warehouse stocks continued also to lrft packing house products.

Lkere. . We should tae our stand by

the . side . of. the allied nations which have been fighting humanity's battles for two and 'one-half years." Speaks for Resolution. Representative Siege of New York, Republican, favoring the resolution, said he could not disregard the fact

that "though we cry peace, Germany answers by warring against us." "During this week," he said, "intimations have come to me that political expediency required me to cast my vote against this resolution, and that contrary action on my , part would mean a general effort from now on to end my congressional career. I say to my colleagues who are now hesitating that the people will know whether they are Jor this great land of freedom and religious liberty or whether they are going to be guided simply by the selfish question whether they will obtain more votes in 1918 by standing on the side of our foe." Representative Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, assailed pro-German sympathizers and pacifists. Applause Greets Reply. First expressions of the opposition to the resolution came from Representatives Cooper and Stafford of Wisconsin and Representative Britten of Illinois, while Mr. Flood was recounting German violations of American rights which have led up, to the war resolution. "Wouldn't the English mines in the North Sea destroy American lives?" Representative Cooper asked. "To date England never has sunk one of our ships or destroyed an American life," Mr. Flood replied. Loud applause greeted the reply. Miller Springs Sensation. Representative Miller of Minnesota, Republican member of the foreign affairs committee sprung a sensation during discussion of the war resolution in the House today by declaring that an unpublished paragraph of the Zimmerman note offered to establish a submarine base in Mexico supplying Mexico with unlimited quantities of arms and ammunitions and send German reservists in the United States to Mexico. Representative Miller further said he understood three German schooners had landed men on the western coast of Mexico and that Villa was surrounded by German officers who had taken charge of the drilling of his men.

Members of the foreign affairs comittee in Congress, however, .have been supplied with the full text, and with other evidences of German intrigues against this government. When Representative Miller's quotation was submitted to Secretary Lansing, however, the secretary of state, declared the Zimmerman instructions "contained nothing of the sort.'
