Cloves and prevented him killing his
victim on the srot. The enraged
man said that Clark had helped kill
his brother. John Cloves. forty years
ago. and that he had intended to Kill
Clark.
A grudge has existed between the
two men several years. There APP

nothing to do with the death OF
Cloves brother. Relatives claim that
Cloves Is temporarily insaBce. He

CRAMF AND CAMDEN GET
BATTlESHiP CONTRACTS
Naval Board Agrees Upon Awards
Which Are to be Made Next
Tuesday.
lRy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, ID. C.. Sept g.
The award of the contracts for the
two new American dreadnaughts OF
10000 tons each, the Wyoming and
the Arkansas, which are expected 10
be announced next week, will be
made to William Cramp 4 Sons, Of
Philadelphia, and the New York Ship
building Company, of Camden. \. j..
The Maryland Steel Company, of
Sparrows Point. Md. which submit
ted the lowest bid for the new fleet
collier to be constructed for the navy.
will get the contract for that vessel.
The naval board OF construction. OF
which Rear Admiral Cowles is presi-
dent, held a prctracted meeting today
and went over the bids for the two
battleships and the one collier.
- Apparently there is still some diff
ference en- the question Of the motive
power for the battleships. This will
be settled at another meeting of the
board next Tuesday.
The proposition of one of the ship
building companies TO install electric
motors as a feature of the machinery
aboard the vessels was discussed to-
day, but one of the considerations
which Influenced the board was that
the bid of the company making the
proposition was higher than those OF
the firms which are to get the con-
tracts.
