ONLY ONE BID TO
 BUILD WARSHIPS

Washington, December 1.--Absence of at the navy department today for the construction of one of the greatest war ships of the United States navy, a first class battleship of 27,000 tons displace- ments, two fleet coliers and machinery for a second new battleship which will be built at a government navy yard.
 The apathy of the shipbuilding interest is attributed by officials of the depart ment to the action of Congress at It's last session in stipulating that the work must be done under the eight-hour labor law The department furthermore was unwill- ing to interpret definitely the extent to which, within the meaning of the naval bill, the eight hour law would apply to the work, believing that many of its phases were subjects for the determina- ton of the courts This, it is believed also had deterrent effect upon prospec- tive bidders.
 As all the proposals of the Newport News Shipbuiding company are under the $6,006,000 limit prescribed in the law it is believed generally that the company will receive the contract. A sister ship to the one for which bids were opened to- day will be built by the government.
 The two battleships will be the largest vessels in the United States navy and vastly more powerful than the latest pre- ceding additions to the navy, the Wyom- ing Arkansas type of 26,0O0 tons. The General Electric company of Schenectady was the only bidder for the machinery of the battleship to constructed by the gov- ernment at the New York navy yard The amount proposed was $352,500.

Broadway looked like chain OF
Swiss lakes last night, especially in the
uptown district For some reason or
other the city has let the gutter drains
become clogged with sand and as a re-
suit numerous puddles formed at vari-
Gus points.
The sand proposition is continually
bothering the sewers of the city and
It is no new phase to have it clog the

constantly watched such water pools
as were formed after yesterdays rains
would not mar the beauty of the hun

have but little weight with the readers
of the Indianapolis News in Lake coun-
ty
There are positive evidences. other
than his own statement, that John b.
Peterson still has in mind the cont est
ing of Crumpacker's election. At a
meeting of the board of public works
the other day Democratic Chairman
Gavit stated he would be unable to
be present at a meeting of the board
after Dec. list for the reason that he
expected to be in Washington, d. c.
AS the next session Of congress be-
gins then it is possible that Gavit has
been selected by Peterson to represent
him in his contest at Washington
1t is believed tht Gavtt is now secur-
ing all of the available facts regarding
the recent election and that he will
feel out'' the various congressman
with the idea of determining in his own
mind the advisability of starting a con-
test.
This makes 1t apparent that Peter
son will not know whether or not h.
will contest Crumpackers election unit
