= The board APPOINTED by authority of
Congress to ascertain the" cost of an
armor-plate : plant made its report
through Comm odore Howell to Secretary
Long to-day. The cost of rlant suitable
for the making OF naval armor at the rate
OF about 5000 tons per annum, which is
equal to the capacity of both the existing
private plants, is set down as about
IS. $50 600. The report of the board,
which may be strengthened by an in
dorsement by Secretary Long will make
1t quite evident that the Government
cannot undertake to make its own armur
at the CO named as the limit OF price to
be paid 10 private firms in the last naval
appropriation b II.
The Armor Factory Board in summing
up says:
Tristan armor factory prises essentia ~
q collection oil special furnaces, heavy n achine
tools and appliances that are not needed in
any Other class OF work, and Il class OF la Dor
specially skilled in the business.
Second-A Government armor factory not
connected with an establishment engaged in
other branches of the steel industry would
depend for its success and economic ed-
ministration upon a constant demand for an
output nearly approaching Its full capacity.
Third-lf the Government should establ sh
a factory its efficient and economic mainten-
ance would necessarily depend upon a con-
slant yearly appropriation Tor ships to be pro-
vided with nrmor. because the armor pro-
duced at any time must be specially designed
for and fitted TO those SHIPS. Any failure TO
appropriate for ships in any one year onld
require the ces sation of work and the laying
off indefinitely of the skilled experts and la
borers that mad been trained 70 this industry.
resumption Of work al a later period would
require he training at q considerable expense
Of new set OF men.
The following are the estimates for the
cost, exclusive OF land, of plant capable
of making and furnishing ready for the
nstallment on board ship of 6O00 tons per
year of nickel steel, face-hardened, re-
forged armor.

Ever since the release of John B. Ed

OF being the murderer Of Kay, the police
have been working quietly upon his case,
