GREAT GATHERING
 OF SHIPBUILDERS
Many New Companies Enter the
 Bidding Contest
S5O,OOO,OOO TO. BE SPENT
Contracts To Be Let For Five New Battleships and Six Armored crius- CTS, Aggregatine a DispIace-
 ment of 15o,oou Tons.

Washington, December 2. - Never since the birth of the new navy has there been such a gathering of shipbuilders and metal kings as were assembled in the office of the Secretary of the Navy at noon today 10 witness the opening of bids for an amount of naval construction which Secretary Long called the greatest industrial event this or any other country has ever seen, in- volving the placing of contracts for about S5O,O0O0OO.
 The notable feature was the attempt on the part of younger and smaller concerns to break the line of the older organizations which have constructed all the heavy yes sels of the new navy up to this time, and there are indications of success in the cases of the Fore River Company, which appears for the first time as bidder for construct ing armored ships and of the Morans of Seattle Because of the changes made in the specifications by the bidders, the gen. eral tendency of which Is to reduce con siderably the equipment of the ships, it Is not possible for the present to tell which of the bids are actually the lowest.
 The bidders are: The Union Iron Works, San Francisco; William Cramp S Sons, Philadelphia; Newport News Shipbuiding and Dry Dock Company; Moran Brothers & Company, Seattle. Wash; Fore River Shipbuilding and Locomotive Works Quin- cy, Mass; John Dialogue & Son, Camden, N. J.; Risdon Iron and Locomotive Works, San Francisco; Bath Iron Works and the New York Shipbuilding Company.
 A naval board will consider the bds and report upon them.
 The acts of Congress limit the cost of the cruisers to $3 600,00O each and of the battle- ships to $4,250000 for the sheathed and $4,- GOO, 900 for the unsheathed

I Norway, December 8. "A rear end oolli-

Says Rev. Strout Told
Falsehood.
Suggests He Prosecute Few of
tho "Gates.

Saco December 3.-The startling tenn
perance lecture 1.-The Gates of Hell In
Saco," by Rev. E. q. Strout, last night,
has CAUSED great Indignation throughout
the city both among citizens and office
holders. Mayor William j. aybury,
who is surgeon-general on the staff Of Gov
ernor Powers has expressed his disappro-
val Of the lecture In ssyere terms. saying
that If the clergyman WAS quoted correct
Iy In saying that the police department
was receiving brides for the protection
of the rumseIlers of the city he utters q
falsehood. The mayor says he knows
that liquor Is sold in the city, that 1t
cannot be stopped ana he does not believe
that 1t will ever entirely ceass. He says
that If Mr.. Strout knew that there were
gambling dens and liquor saloons run
openly In the city it was his duty as a
citizen to swear out warrants against
those places and place them In the hands
of the police. He said that such docu-
ments would be ferved by his officers.
Mr.. Strout when told what the mayor
said replied that the officers took oath
TO enforce the laws and that he did not
consider it his duty to serve out warrants
when the officers knew the location OF
every saloon and gambling den In the
city.

Senator Frye Will Move
To Take 1t Up.
Canal Bill viii Wait for Action
ON Treaty.

Washington, December 3-The Repub-
lican senatorial committee on order OF
business today decided that the ship sub
sidy bill should displace the. Spooner
Philippine bill as the unfinished business.
1t also considered at the same time the
disposition of the Hay -Paunceforte treaty
and decided that that treaty should re-
ceive alternate attention with the ship
ping bill. The arrangement provides
that the shipping bill shall have prefer
ence but that when no one Is prepared TO
make q speech on 1t the Senate shall go
into executive session for the considera-
tion of the treaty. In accordance with
this Senator Frye at the first opportunity
tomorrow Will move to take up the bill
and IL this motion prevails as there Is lit
tie doubt it II the effect will be TO
displace the Spooner bill, which thers is
no disposition at this time to press.
Senator Frye will probably make .
speech. 1t is not expected that any
other senator Will be prepared to proceed
on the subsidy measure and In that event
Senator Lodge of the committe on foreign
affairs, who will have charge OF the
treaty, Will move an executive session in
order to consider the treaty.
The arrangement further provides that
if the army bill reaches the Senate prior
to- the disposal of the shipping bill or
the treaty, either or both Of these may
be displaced temporarily in order to per-
init the prompt consideration of that
measure which Ia considered to be OF
more pressing Importance than either OF
the other questions. Ths same under
standing prevails regarding the appro-
priation bills. senator Morgan Mica
raguan canal bill received some consider
alton at the hands of the committee on
order of business. While no definite
agreement was reached concerning it the
opinion was generally expressed that 1t
would wait upon the Senats's action on
the treaty.
