MORAN BROTHERS
STILL HAVE A CHANCE.
FEW MORE DAYS WILL DECIDE
wARsHIP CONTRACTS.
Moran BrOs'. Company, of Seattle,
May He Given an Opportunity TO
Scale Their Bids-Bclieved One
BattIeship VIII be Built on sound

Special Dispatch to the Post-1ntelligcncer.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s-Secretary
Long expects the board of construction.
which is considering the bids for eleven
new armor-clad vessels. to be through
its work in about two days. 1t is un-
deniable that the chances of the Moran
Bros. Company will secure one of the
contracts is less bright than ii was two
days ago. 1t Is not unlikely. however,
that the Seattle firm will be given an
opportunity to scale its bids. The board
Is anxious to scale down the bids sub
mitted In order TO get them within the
appropriation, at least, and many ques-
tons have been asked Secretary Long
as to lust what appropriations certain
contingent expenses i'm connection with
building the eleven ships to be contracted
for. will be paid out of. Secretary Long
Is apparently. anxious to take as small
a proportion out of the appropriation for
constructing the ironclads as possible for
contingent expenses.

Moran bids Not High.

The bids of the Moran Bros. were not
high. The only one that can possibly
be shaved to come within the limit may
be lowered sufficiently to get one of the
ships. but this is today uncertain.
Members of the Washington delegation
will call upon Secretary Long tomorrow
and endeavor TO secure permission for
Robert Moran to scale the bids of his
firm. II he fails II is probable that only
three of the eleven ships will be built
on the Coast. These the Union Iron
Works will get. The Cramps will then
get three the Newport News Company
three. the Fore River Company one and
the Bath Iron Works one.
Secretary Long has now under consid-
Grafton his right 10 allow the bidders to
change their bids ana il may he stated
on excellent authority he will decide In
the affirmative.

The Ethan Allen Mystery.

Two years ago last Halloween the statue
of Ethan Allen at the state house was dis
figured by backing its boots and stealing
the wooden sword from its side. The
work Of vandalism caused ten days SEN
sation and until recently no clue to the
perpetrators Of the deed could be obtained.
At that time it was suspect cted that students
from the different schools in the vicinity
did the work while out for lark ard the
return of the sword few days after the
deed was committed only added to the
mystery surrounding it.
States Attorney Hoar has notified Ser
geant-at-Arms Phinney that through the
efforts Of City Sheriff Bancroft he is in
possession Of evidence tending to show
who perpetrated the damage to the statue
and thereby hangs sensational story.
A young woman calling herself Maud
Van Dyke, who was sentenced from Wash
ington county court to imprisonment in
state prison and who has yet about year
to serve, furnished the key to the my stery.
She has been employed as a domestic in
the family OF Superintendent Oakes and in

An Absolute Necessity
in Many Cases.
A DECREASE IN WEIGHT
FREQUENTLY INDICATES
A DECLINE.
Our Modern Rebuilder, Vinol,
Will Help You Do It.
THE WAY 1T ACTS ON A DE-
PLETED CONSTITUTION IS
SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.

Are you getting thin? If you are
you had better watch yourself. Take
Vinol 1t will build you up quickly
and surely.
A healthy man does not vary much
from year to year in his weight.
This is as it should be. Vinol enables
the organs of the body to renew flesh,
muscle tissue, bone structure, and at
tends to purifying the great vital cur
rent of the human system, the blood.
Vinol contains the active curative
properties of Cod-Liver Oil in highly
concentrated state, and is the most
wonderful tonic that we have ever had
anything to do with.
Vinol acts upon the stomach in
beneficial way, enabling it to obtain
for itself the necessary ingredients
from the food that is taken into it to
build up the pure healthy body and in
crease the weight.
Mr.. III. M. Stufell, who is a we'll
known passenger trainman on the
Boston and Maine Railroad. suffered,
as many railroad men do, with kidney
and other troubles. He writes as fol-
lows:
"My kidneys troubled me great
deal, my bowels were very irregular,
mad great distress IN my stomach, SUI
fered with bilious headaches, had no
appetite, could not sleep nights, and
was losing flesh rapidly. / began to
take Vinol, am now on my third bot
tie, and it is doing wonders for me.
My kidneys are better, my bowels are
again regular, my stomach no longer
troubles me, and no more headaches,
and as for appetite, don't speak of it;
I sleep like a top and have gained
thirteen pounds. You can count on
me always to recommend Vinol as the
king of medicines"
With many such testimonials as
the above coming before US, it is not
strange that we endorse VinOl as
strongly as we do. We unheSitat-
ingly agree to return to any one
who has taken Vinol and is not
satisfied that it has accomplished all
that we claim for it every cent that
they have paid us for this remedy.

by Frank Miller, who is now in lsil ~
Montpelier and who Is about to be tried
for murder. She alleges that Miller wss
assisted in his work by his alleged victim
Major S. johnson, who was found dead on
the bank OF the Winooski river near the

City Sheriff Bancroft came into posses
sion OF this girls story and made an inve''
tigation, durirg which it is claimed he has
secured evidence which substanriates the
narrative.
Under the statute, it falls upon the ser
geant-at-arms to prosecute in case OF this
nature when the damage done does not
exceed 1926 and upon the states attorney
when the damage is in excess OF that
amount. Mr.. Phinney sets the damage
below $25. As one of the alleged offend
ers is dead and the other is to Re tried for
his life probably no prosecution will be
instituted.
