FOR TWO BATTLESHIPS
CONTRACTS AWARDED FOR SOUTH
CAROLINA AND MICHIGAN.

Secretary Bonaparte today awarded the
contract for constructing the two 16.000-ton
battleships, South Carolina and Michigan,
one to William Cramp & Sons. Philadel-
phia, the other to the New York Shipbuild-
ing Company. Camden, N. ]. The Cramps
bid was s., $40 900 and the New York COM
pany's bid was s.. 5s5 900. The Secretary Of
the Navy was obliged to distribute the con-
tract in that way because Congress had
provided that not more than one ship should
be built by any one concern. The boats
are to be of the reciprocating type so far
as engines are concerned. the Secretary
having approved the finding of the board of
construction to the effect that it would be
well for the department to await the COM
pletion of the turbine scout ships now under
construction before embarking on another
experiment of that kind.
The various bids submitted FOR these two
ships have been given very careful consid-
Grafton, first by the board on construction
ana then by the Secretary OF the Navy,
who has advised with the President I'm ref
ercnce to the matter. and 1t Is believed that
the naval general board has also been con-
suited. Secretary Bonaparte In order TO Sc
cure the fullest light on that important
question invited the various. bidders to
criticise each others plans and a result
he received yesterday letters from folr of
the bidders, but nothing therein contained
seems to have affected hi3 inclination in
favor of the acceptance of the recommended
ton of the board on construction.

GOLF AT ENGLEWOOD
TWO ROUNDS OF MATCH PLAY
SCHEDULED TODAY.

ENGLEWOOD. N. J., July 1.-TWO
rounds of match play were scheduled for
today in the championship amateur nation
al golf tournament, and by night only eight

day, will be left in the race.
II. Chandler Egan of Chicago. who has
held the title for two years, is in the first
division, paired with P. W. Whittemore of
Boston.
The luck of draw Is peculiarly favorable
to the Chicago champion, as with the ex-
ception of Fred Herreshoff he has not one
in his class in the first division. while there
are at least half dozen in the other divi-
sion any one of whom is capable of giving
Egan royal battle for the championship.
These will be pitted against each other In
todays rounds, that in the course of
elimination the strength of this end of the
field will be reduce. while Egan, with his
regular game. has a practical walkover in
his first three matches.
The weather conditions were excellent and
everything gave promise of fast golfing
during the day.
The first match OF the day resulted in a
surprise. DR.. Simon Carr Of Philadelphia
defeated Fred Herreshoff of Garden City
by up and 2 to play. DR.. Carr made the
round in rs and Herreshoff took 50.

Body of Another Woman Found in
Same Place in River.

TOLEDO. Ohio. July 12.-Following the
supposed suicide of seventeen-year-old
Clara Strayner In the Maumee river Mon
day was the discovery yesterday of the
body Of Katie Winover. housekeeper for the
girls father. whom the daughter looked
upon as stepmother, floating In almost the
same place as was the corpse of Miss
Strayner when discovered. Mourners re-
turning from the funeral of Miss Strayner
found the housekeeper's body.
On the river bank this note was found
Monday:
II am buried m the old Maumee. I am
going TO mother. Good bye. Clara
search then revealed the body. Tues
day there was found in almost the same
spot a note in an entirely different hand
writing, which read:
Dear Papa: / want to bid you and all
the friends good bye. I expect to live with
Mamma. for you know how I am treated by
Katie. Your loving daughter, Clara"
The two notes which experts say were
written by different persons. and the death
of the Winover woman who might have
supplied the key to the mystery. are puz-
zling the police.

Old Law May Hold.

Judge Mullowny intimated that the old
law might hold. in view OF the fact that the
new law was meaningless. but he did not
decide that question. II is expected that
case VIII be brought under the old law and
that viii necessitate a ruling as to the
exact status OF the old law
The ruling of the court, Ii is explained,
will have an important bearing on the
present ice situation. as the prosecutions
for selling short weight ice were under the
Rev law. AS that part has now been de-
cldred OF no effect, prosecutions must rest
on the old law. Should Judge MuIlowny
rule that the new law repealed the old law
and that 1t could not now be regarded il
