HAS DOUBTS ABOUT THE
TRUTH OF THE STORY

Bethlehem, Pa April 27.-Presideut
NJ. r. McIlvain Of the Bethlehem Steel
company today said in reference to the
reports that Charles N. Schwab had
received contracts for Russian battle
ships:
Il have not heard from Mr.. Schwab
regarding the contracts which the pub
lie prints % this morning say have been
awarded to him for battleships for the
Russian navy If the information is
correct, which l very much doubt the
Bethlehem Steel company would uu-
dOubtedly be called upon To supply all
Of the ordnance and probably as much
of the armOr plate as 1t could manu-
factuTe.
If Mr.. Schwab has the contract rs
reported undoubtedly the ship building
concerns in this country which are
capable of building ships of this enor-
nous tonnage, would have 10 be called
upon. as the yards controlled by the
Bethlehem Steel corporation could not
complete such programme within a
reasonable time"

TO him before the president left Wash

his ability TO carry out his wish to

Secretary Taft that he feared that he
