LOCATES AT EVANSVILLE.
Carter Motor Car Company VIII Not
Build at BerWyn.

At q recent meeting OF the board Of
directors Of the Carter Motor Car Cor
poration It was decided to reject all bids
received for the construction Of their
proposed factory at Berwyn. Nd. on ac-
count Of their being unsatisfactory. and
to build their own plant. under the direc-
ton of their engineer and supervising
architect, upon a site secured at Hyatts-
vile, Nd.
By reason of the closer proximity to
the city, and the larger area OF the
tract Of land offered, and taking into
consideration the decidedly more advan-
tageous shipping facilities and general
accessibility afforded. the directors deem
ed the change Of location highly expedi-
emit Work Of actual construction is now
in progress Material is being purchased
in the open market in both this city and
Baltimore, and IS being rushed TO the
factory site.
Il is the purpose Of the Carter Com
pany to construct their Eastern factory
upon the colony plan, which will COM
prise originally, a group of three sub
stantial buildings of brick and steel con-
struction, each building t. be approx
mately 60x200 feet. and designed 10 ac-
commodate the individual departments
for the manufacture of their product
The buildings of this initial group alone
viii cost approximately $4,000, and when
the necessary machinery has been in
stalled the outlay will be over 100000.

OCTOPUS TYPE FAVORED.
Navy Department VIII Buy New
Submarine Boats.

The findings and recommendations Of
the submarine torpedo boat board, which
recently conducted a series Of tests Of
boats submitted in competition. were an
nounced yesterday by Secretary Of the
Navy Metcalf. The report Of the board
IS unanimous in favor OF the superiority
Of the submarines OF the Octopus type
Secretary Metcalf has temporarily de-
layed the formal awarding Of the con-
tracts pending an opinion by the Attor-
ney General upon a legal technlcalitv.
A question was raised by a protest fled
by the Lake Torpedo Boat Company
against the entry Of the Octopus in the
competition, on the ground TINT the boat
was already under contract for the gov
eminent. This matter was considered at
the time the arrangements were made
for the competition. and Mr. Bonaparte,
then Secretary Of the Navy, held that,
inasmuch as the Octopus had not been
commissioned, and had not been accepted
by the government, the boat was fully
eligible to enter the competition.
Il Is probable that the department will
decide TO build several boats OF the same
size as the Octopus. and several others
about one-third larger, bids for various
sizes having been submitted and opened
last April

Him 5000 worth.

loss Of the salary as a department com
