To Provide the United States
With a Navy
THE BIDS FOR BATTLESHIPS
Considered by Secretary Herbert Behind
Closed Doors
The Cramps Present Plans of 1erit but II Is
Desired That the Coast Get
Chance

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-By appointment
Secretsry Herbert today heard arguments
behind closed doors by persons who have
bid for the reconstruction of two battleships,
touching the merits of their respective
propositions. There were present Henry
Scott of the Union iron works, San Fran
cisco; Charles and Henry Cramp and Mr.
Nixon Of Cramps Shipbuilding company,
Philadelphia; and Mr.. circuit. president of
the Newport News Dry Dock and Ship
building company of Virginia, with his
constructing engineer, Mr.. Smith.
The problem presented to the secretary
and board of chiefs was difficult one.
The Newport News company was the low
est bid Ter under the plans for building the
ships as prepared by the navy DEPART
ment, but the Cramps and the Union iron
works had submitted individual plans of
more or less merit, the Cramps having no
less than seven propositions and the Union
iron works being favored by an expires sion
of the desire of congress to have one ship
built on the Pacific coast.
Messrs. Scott and circuit. speaking for
their respective firms, stated that their
bids as submitted by them, fully set out
their cases and they had no remarks To
make at this time unless called upon to
explain further in detail and features.
Therefore the entire hearing was con-
sumed by the Messrs. Cramp, who, with
out in anyway dIsparaging the plan for the
ships as prepared at the navy department.
directed attention to what they regarded as
the s rong features of their own designs.
They explained also that the department
was at liberty to combine in any fashion
desirable any propositions submitted by
their firm, of course, having in view the
maintenance of the prices of the various
crafts.
At the conclusion of the hearing Secre-
terry Herbert agreed to allow the Cramps
three or four days in which to bring in
some further representation in the same
line. When this is all in his hands the
secretary and board will proceed to pass
upon the various proposals and make the
awards of contracts.

A MYSTERIOUS MALEFACTOR
Who Tries TO Murder Girls and Does
BaIk Detectives
A Pretty Dressmaker Who Lives In Terro
OF an Unknown Man Who
Tries to Kill Her

SAN Francisco, Dec. 11.-Miss Lily
B unkall, whose mother conducts Dire S.
making establishment on Sacramento
street. tells most remarkable story of
persecution by an unknown man who has
made four attempts upon her life. Each
time. however, something providentally
occurred to brighten the would-be murderer
away and Miss Blunkall still lives. Short
ly after 6 O'Clock last Friday evening Miss
Blunkall descended into the cellar of her
mothers house to get some kindling wood.
While there a man, whom she thought was
her brother ent cred. She called out to him,
but the man sprang at her and seized her
by the throat. She was unable to scream,
but her mother heard the scutfie, and
with her son rushed to the girls assistance.
The stra niger threw his victim to one side
and rush ed from the cellar, disappearing
in the dar kness. The matter has been re-
ported to the police and detectives are
working on the case.
Miss Blunkall's mother, in telling of the
attempted crime, said that her daughters
persecution commenced about four years
ago. At that time they were living on
Mason street. While she was out of town
handsome. gentlemauly-appear man
called at the house and asked to engage a
room. Miss Blunkall. who was alone in
the mouse, showed MIN her mother room,
which would be vacant FOR two months.
Suddenly the man attempted to kiss her,
but she got away and locked herself in the
parlor. The man left, taking with him the
key to the front door. Three days later he
entered the house, seized the girl and
choked her until she was unconscious. The
door bell rang just then, and the villain
ran out the back way. The Blunkall fam
lily then moved to another part of town,
and several months later the same m an
met the young lady and escorted her
home. Again the family moved, and a
year ago, as Miss Lily was returning
home from an errand early in
the evening she was seized and dragged
into an alley by a man. She struggled to
escape, and was knocked senseless by her
assailant right at the door of he. house.
She fell against the door, and assistance
came. Again the man escaped. A few
months ago, in still another section of the
city. an immense rock was hurled through
the window and narrowly missed the
young lady's head. Once more the family
| moved to escape the fiend who was perse-
cutting them, but Friday nights assault
showed that they had been tracked. The
family is in continual state of terror,
and the numerous adventures and hair
breadth escapes have seriously affected
the young Iady's health. The man is de-
scribed by Miss Bunkall as being very
tall, with black hair, brown eyes and a
| black mustache.

I'm THE GERMAN REICHSTAG
Herr Bebel Makes a Violent S0cialistiC
Speech
To Which the Minister of War flakes Angry
Reply With Significant AIIusions
TO Army Tactics

LONDON. Dec. 1.-THE Times Berlin
correspondent telegraphs:
Herr Bebel spoke in the reichstag for
two hours today. He began by remarking
that when the tameness of the speech of
! the throne was compared with the emper-
or's speech on the same day at Breslau,
+ it was easy to understand why Chancellor
Won Hohenlohe had been deputized to read
' the former by proxy. He reminded the
house that many well known socialists,
including Herr MIGUEL, in the wild days of
4. his political youth, had fought and suf-
! fered for German unity at time when its
chief opponents were Hohenzollerns and
Prussian junkers.
1.-THE attitude of the Socialists toward
the Sedan celebrations was governed by
I the con vicuon that never was more ia
tai mistake committed than the annexa-
ton of the Reichland, which had made
Russia the chief arbiter of the destinies of
! Europe.
1.-The Socialists never claimed to be
angels, and they could not be expected to
forget the manner in which they had been
treated during the reign of the first Will
liam. Even the Conservatives would have
despised u.s." continued Herr Babel, "had
we suffered the insult of being described
! fas "a ulWOilOS blAS iidHie vi DbT-
} mans. But what has been the reply to
our quiet protestsH Why, prosecutions
and imprisonments without end for lese
majestic"
The speaker then continued TO denounce
the constant appeals to the army against
she Socialists as the best possible encour-
agement to Germany's enemies abroad.
/ ''When you come to spend your last man
and last penny in defense of unity you
will find us standing shoulder TO shoulder
with you, not for love of you, but for love
, of ourselves. The real revolutionists are
those who are always arguing the adoption
of violent measures against the Socialists -
Pointing toward Baron Won STUNNED,
Herr Bebe exclaimed: ut is such men
that banker after barricades, and not we.'
Finally, referring to the taxation of the
working classes, the speaker declared the
government policy was the most powerful
weapon of the socialist agitation and one
which no amount of persecution would
blunt.
General Bronsart Won SchellenGorlf, the
German minister of war, who had been
listening to the speech with great impa-
tience, replied almost angrily that
the Socialists might be sure that the army
would do it's duty.
1t had not forgotten the insults they poured
on its heroic and venerable leader in 1870
Should the police fail and the army be re-
quired to deal with Socialism that would be
10 child's play.
