In this letter to the changed way of
doing things at the navy department
Josephus Daniels the secretary Of the
navy believes that when he goes to
buy material for building our big bat
tle-ships he should invite competitive
bidding and buy the materials from
the lowest responsible bidder 1t was
not so under the Republicans. The
Republicans in purchasing armor plate
for battle-ships, for instance. divided
the contract among the three big cor
porations that make armor plate. No
matter what the bids were each cor
poration got its share of the work al
the lowest bid. Can YOU imagine
sane man botherng himself about
bidding low when he knows in ad-
vance that he will get his share of the
work no matter how high and uncon-
scionable the bids may be? in conse-

who submitted practically identical
bids for armor forgings, and 9TH
er materials and divided the work
up between them to suit themselves.
Josephus Daniels was determined if
possible to break up such eXtortion
and restore competition. Bidders out
side tie big three were ENCOURAGED to
bid and were given assurance that
their bids would receive careful con
sideration On August 22nd. bids werc
opened for construction steel plates
for battle-ship Number 80. The old
combinations price for this sort of
steel had been set around two hundred

bids was found one from a rank out

SlSi,O4 per ton or saving OF $685.

lar steel for one battlc-ship. Bids
from outsiders on medium steel plates
saved $l9,000.0O. When the bids We're
opened for the castings for the turbines
for battleship 80 these castings were
too large to be made in this country
by any steel corporation except the
big three. Feeling secure from com
petition two of them put in bids eX-
cecding one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars. a big English firm sub
mittcd at one third the bids of our
folks. Daniels did not like to give
the contract to a foreign firm, but the
saving was $lO2,0OO.OO On the heavy
armor plate there is thus far no com
petition. The Midvalc, Carnegie, Beth
lchcm the big three submitted den-
tical bids namely five hundred and
fifty dollars per ton. Daniels has not
accepted any of the bids He wants
some explanation Of how they all hap
pen to bid the Sarmc thing, all so
high. This hold-up may result i'm the
government making its own armor.
Competition in purchasing material
for one battlcship in one month has
resulted in a saving of more than five

Kaimuki last night decided over

bitterly attacked last night at the

Ed Towse, Glen Quinn and G. w. R.
King occupied the greater part of an
hour in arguing that Kaimuki would
receive no benefit. from association
with other improvement clubs and
would receive more consideration
from the authorities by going it alone.

STANFORD Will
STAY HERE FOR
ANOTHER Week

That the Stanford baseball team
would remain another week in Homo
lulu, and play three more games
against local teams, was definitely an
nounced yesterday afternoon by the
Moiliili management 1t has not yet
been decided what teams VIII go up
against the Stanford crowd. but the
chances are that the Punahous will
take them on for the Saturday date,
making it three-gaIne series be-
tween the two, teams. The AllSer-
vice team is anxious for another crack
at the collegians. as it is now game
and game between them. This leaves
only the Sunday date open. anOit is
possible that >the Oahu league will
postpone the opening of its second
series a week, in order to give the
Portuguese a chance to meet the car
dinals. The Asahis are also spoken
of as possible opponents for the Stan
ford men. but as they are scheduled
&c play the Portuguese in the Oahu
League. it would be as difficult to
secure one team as the other, unless
the league takes the suggested action.
Tomorrow Stanford goes up against
the Punahou Athletic Club FOR the sec
end time The clubmen will have AL
Castle in the box, and are confident
that they will turn the tables on the
collegians.

custom, the dock company insured the
ship before beginning work. a policy
for $4,000 Mex. being secured but
the insurance money has not been
paid yet and 1t is probable that thor

the loss will be made, now that the
boat is above water, but in any event
the loss will exceed the amount Of the
policy as the dock has been closed for
ever nine months and work going on
continually. in efforts to raise the boat.
1t is stated that the chief quarter
master included no penalty clause In
the contract for the repair of this
vessel. Such an omission can hardly
be credited, but if true then the Amer
lean government will be loser to the
value OF the service of the boat and

dock company will have to comply
with the terms of their agreement and
put the vessel in good shape-a very
expensive undertaking in this in

Now that Captain Halsey of the

General Funston for personally con.
Quoting his baptism of fire. which
happened on the line" north Of
Manila in the campaign Of 1929 il is
interesting to inquire into General
Funston's version of the episode.
With becoming modesty the gallant
sailor gives the credit for valor on
that occasion to General Funston and
says that his conduct was the lesson
in the art of war which he and his
shipmates learned that day. General
Funston in his book, Memories of
Two Wars" in the chapter devoted to
the trying days in the trenches near
Caloocan, says:
Among the vessels lying in the
bay was the great British cruiser

Honorable Hedworth Lambton. who

his officers and crew world renown
