ROOSEVELT IN CHURCH
PRESIDENT MAKES SPEECH AFTER
 PRAYER MEETING.
of Man and Advocated That Prac- tice of Principle in Daily
 

Washington, Dec. 15.-President Roosevelt attended the prayermeeting at the Grace Reformed Church of which he is a memben tonight, and at the conclusion of the service he made a short address to the large congrega- tion and held an informal reception. shaking hands with all present.
 Some time ago the President ex- pressed to the pastor. the Rev. J. NJ. Schick. his desire to meet his fellow members of the church and tonight was set for the occasion. the pastor sending out invitations to all the members to be present. As result the edifice was filled to overfiowng. The Pres .ident arrived during the services, un- attended save by his colored valet and took his seat in his pew. At the con- clusion of the prayer service the pas tor introduced the President. who spoke as follows:
 "Dr. Schick, my friends and neigh bors and fellow members of this church: As the Doctor has said. I first asked for this privilege and the Doc- tor kindly arranged that 1t should take place. l wanted to have the chance of saying to you how very greatly l have enjoyed mesing and worshippng with you Sunday after Sunday and how I have appreciated the companonship with you. When l was still Governor, after l had been elected Vice e-President, the Doctor wrote that this was the only Reformed Church In Washington and that he thought he could claim me as d parishoner. It has meant great deal to be able to come here Sunday after Sunday and to be with you. and especially for the reason touched upon by the Doctor in the few words We have just listened to for the sense of brotherhood.
 T think that any man who takes an interest in this great country of ours must realize that the all-important ne- cessity of our social, industrial and po- litical life Is the necessity of the reali- zation of what brotherhood means. We cannot develop our civilization at all unless we develop 1t upon the basis of each recognizing in his fellow man his brother, whose interest he must have at heart. No scheme of legislation, no kind of administration of the govern ment will atone or can atone for the lack of the fundamental quality of each being in very deed his brothers keep CT. I do not mean to talk about it every seventh day, but to feel 1t in the intervening six days. to feel 1t on the part of the employer with his employees. on the part of the employees with their employer. Three-fourths, probably nine- -tenths of the labor troubles that sometimes assume so ominous form would vanish if you could interest the people on each side to approach the matter in the spirit of each striving to care for his fellows as he cares for himself"

CUT IN BIDS.
Unprecedentally Low OfRers For Build-
 ing of Battleships.

Washington. Dec. 15.-Unprecen- tally low bids were offered today for the construction of the battleship New Hampshire and the armored cruisers Montana and North Carolina, proposals for which were opened at the navy department at noon in the presence of representatives of ship building companies from the Pacific and Atlantic coasts.
 It Is probable that an official am nouncement will award the contract for the cruisers to the Newport News Shipbuilding Company for $3.375,000 each and the battleship to the New York Shipbuilding Company for $3,- 7s3,000. those being the lowest bids offered, as not more than two ships can be awarded to one company.
 The lowest aggregate bids for these three ships was exactly $f,377.000 less than the aggregate lowest bids for three sister ships a little over a year ago. a reduction of II per cent in price. The navy department, while gratified at the reduction, is unable to assign any reason for it except the fact that the ship builders are badly in need of work.

 Although acknowledging the recent increase in freight rates, the officials of the company have declared that their charge now is no higher than the rates to the other coal fields in this section. Increases in rates was declared imperative. because the for mer charges were ruiniously low.
