As a consequence Of the studied mis-

Cost Of Government shIpbuildIng.

Providence Journal.
Something's of more material ,sIgnffi-
canoe than was at first indicated APP
pears in the comparison of the esti-
mates for the construction of tho two
American Dreadnougbts prepared by
the Navy Department with the bids
that the private sbipyards put In. The
estimates were made primarily to
serve as a check upon the actual bid
ding, but the latter was so how that
the government figures seemed alb.
gurd. While these estimates have not
yet been made public, It is said that
they far exceed the highest of the COM
petitive bids. Considering all the con-
Hitiuns of labor and hours Of work at
a government shipyard, together with
the Circumstance that Congress pro
yided for a cost Of $6,OOO,OOO, 1t is not
surprising that the government estt'
mates should be at the top notch. Bit
so great disparity as the opening o.
the bids is said to have shown is sur
ptising. The accepted bids arc both
far below the five-miIHon mark, and
the highest bid was well within the
si1:mfIIion limit.
The practical phase Of the compare
son thus raised now developes. II re-
lance is to be placed upon the gov
eminent work in the case Of sister
bgttleships Louisiana and Connecti-
cut has not ben satisfactorily decided,
SO complex are the items of cost that
such work involves. 1t will probably
always be a moot point whether one
or the other ship cost the more.

RAILROAD GIVEN NEW TRIAL
United states Court of Appeals Re-
verses Colorado North
western Suit,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 26-In the United
States court of appeals today Judge San
born gave the decision of the court in the
case of the United States against the Colo
RADIO & Northwestern railroad, In which
the judgment OF the district court in Colo
RADIO was reversed and a new trial ordered.
The condition now exists that the circuit
court Of appeals for the Sixth district, em-
bracing Ohio Michigan, Kentucky and
Tennessee, has held that railroad comes
subject to federal control only when its
lines cross the border OF the state, a deci-
sion directly opposed to the decision OF the
Eighth judicial district given today.
The action Of the government in the
Colorado case was brought to recover pen
alties from the railroad I'm two cases of
alleged violation of the interstate COM
merce safety appliance law, in that the
Colorado & Northwestern accepted two
distinct shipments OF freight, which the
company accepted from other lines in cars
which were not equipped with automatic
couplers. The district court instructed the
jury for the defendant and the govern
ment appealed.
Judge Vandeventer concurred with Judge
Sanborn, who held in effect that the Colo
RADIO road, although not an interstate line
became subject to federal control when Il
accepted freight from lines coming from
without the state.
Judge Phillips dissented from this view,
holding that the road vas bound to accept
the freight and passengers under its state
charter by whomsoever rendered and from
whence It comes, whether within or with
out the state, and that it's responsibility is
limited by the local law

BRYAN SPEAKS FOR PUBLICITY
Nebraslsan Says Political Party should
Not Sell Policy for Campaign
Funds.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Nov. 9s.- A meet
ing OF the association for the publicity Of
campaign contributions, called by Hon.
Perry Belmont. was held here today, the
chief feature OF which was a short address
by w. ]. Bryan. Mr. Bryan asserted that
II the movement for publicity of cam
paign contributions did not take form
through the democratic members Of con-
gress during the next session, It would take
form in the next democratic national con-
vention, provided he had anything to do
with It.
Although the democratic party is not
in a position to draw its share Of cam
psign funds at present" he said, at has
been in a position to do so before and will
undoubtedly be in that position again
when II makes the necessary promises, l
hope that no party win yield to the tempts-
tion to sell legislation or immunity for
contributions. There is no doubt that such
has been done in the past
Mr.. Bryan contended that the publicity
should be made before a campaign instead
of after.
''If a man is willing to have It become
known that he has made a contribution
for a public benefit," he said why should
he object to having Il known that he has
subscribed TO political reform?'
Mr.. Bryan ventured that not one public
man could be found who would dare de-
nounce, in a speech delivered before the
election, the publicity movement
A resolution was adopted declaring that
senators and representatives shall be urged
to aid in the enactment Of the proposed
publicity law

GERMANY'S EXPENSES HIGHER
Twenty-Five Millions More Demanded
in Government BUDGET
fer Year.

BERLIN. Nov. 2s-The .Prussian Diet
opened today in the White hall of the
palace, Prince Won Buelow the imperial
chancellor, in the emperors absence, read
the speech from the throne. II stated that
the growth Of permanent expenditures had
increased the budget by over S25,O0OOOO.
The chancellor said that deficit is ex-
pected in the current year. owing to the
increased expenses in the railroad admin
istration and that the government would
have to resort to a loan for extending the
railroad system. building new roads, double
tracking Of old lines, and for additional
rolling stock.
The speech foreshadows a bill authorizing
the government to acquire Polish estates
by condemnation proceedings under the law
of eminent domain This measure which
was actively discussed some months ago,
is expected to reopen the agitation over
the Polish question In an acute form.
The governments project has been criti-
cised by even the leading conservative
organs. The speech from the throne ex-
presses the governments conviction that
both houses OF the Diet will give active CO.
operation in tho settling of this grave ma
tional question"

TWO WEEKS SET AS LIMIT
Resumption of Specie Payment I'm
that Time---DiHerent Plans
Suggested,

CHICAGO Nov. S6.-Direct reports TO
the Chicago Clearing house from hundreds
Of western cities encouraged the local bank
ers yesterday to believe that resumption
of cash payments will be possible within
a fortnight
When the clearing house committee met
the members had before them more than
800 letters In reply to the circular letter
sent out last week asking for statements
OF conditions throughout the west Prac-
tically all Of the letters, It was announced,
expressed a willingness to cooperate with
the Chicago bankers in resuming a cash
basis.
There was considerable diversity OF
opinion, however, as to how a general
resumption should be brought about. Some
thought It feasible to lift the lid in every
banking center on the same day; others
that the loosening of cash should be a
gradual movement, beginning in the east
and spreading to other parts Of the coun-
try.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26-The rates for
money loaned on call I'm the stock market
went as low as per cent in the final hour
of trading today, for the first time in
several weeks. Since the financial string
ency began 6 per cent has been about the
lowest rate.

TOBACCO CONSUMPTION LESS
Does Not Keep Pace with Growth OF
Population in United
states.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-That the con-
sumption Of tobacco in America is not in
creasing in proportion to the Increase in
population, Is one OF the interesting facts
brought out In the hearing Of the govern
ment's suit against the American Tobacco
company and others under the antitrust
laws. 7, b. Yule, head OF the purchasing
department of the American Tobacco com
pany, in his testimony stated that while
the acreage I'm tobacco had been Increased,
this was due to the increased foreign de-
mand for American tobacco, the domestic
consumption having by no means increased
in proportion to the growth OF the popula-
tion.

STATE MUST OWN THE POWER
Governor Deneen Declares Questions
of Private Ownership should
Not He Involved.

SPRINGFIELD H., Nov. Ex-Governor
Deneen today sent 70 the legislature a
message relating to the conservation of
water power as incident to construction at
public expense of the proposed deep water
way from the great lakes to the Gulf OF
Mexico, involving an expenditure Of SD
100000 The message said that in order TO
secure approval by the people Of a consti-
tutional amendment authorizing such ex-
penditure It is essential that the water
power, developed by the expenditure of
100000, should be owned and controlled
by the state so that the state may be re-
couped for its expenditure and fund ere
ated for further development and extern
sion Of the international waterway system
and that the development should not be
unnecessarily complicated by questions Of
private ownership.

BIG DROP IN DRESSED PORK
Chicago Packers Cut Prices of LOins
and Hams About Five
Cents.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Lower prices for
live hogs which within the last month
have dropped nearly SO a hundred pounds,
resulted in a reduction in the price Of
pork to retailers. Presumably the con-
sumer will benefit in turn. The packers
gave out a new schedule of prices today,
showing reductions IN pork loins. green
and cured hams, ranging from 4l6c 10 5hc
a pound.
Another effect of the drop In hog prices
was the bringing into Chicago market
buyers from outside markets In increased
numbers. Cleveland, Dayton and Column
bus and other cities in Ohio and in In
diana had representatives here who said
that they had been unable to secure else
where the reductions that they claimed
were warranted by the reduction In hog
prices. They bought freely and heir de-
mand forced the first advance in the mar
ket recorded for more than a week.
