by activity on the part of the de-
partment," said Secretary Daniels, lin
encouraging greater competition in bid
ding on material required for the navy,
a larger number of bidders were obtained
on this material at the openings Of Au-
gust ) and August 22 than were ever
before obtained for similar material for
previous vessels built by the government,
with consequent saving in cost varying
from 3 per cent on steel shapes, bars, etc,
to 81 per cent on structural medium
steel plates, and 81 per cent on special
treatment steel plates.

parison with prices paid for similar ma

nearing completion at the New York navy

Comparison of prices bid per ton on
the principal items of these two. sched-

Body Will Be Hunted.

Capt Daley has heard SO many sugges-
ton that Schultz committed suicide that
this morning he concluded to have search
made for his body. One suggestion re-
ceived by the captain was that Schultz
may have jumped into the river from
Benning bridge, while another was that
he had waded out on the marsh and
shot himself.
HE certainly disappeared suddenly
and mysteriously," Capt. Daley COM
city were well guarded. 1 will instruct
my men to make q search of the marsh
and nearby woods for the body. although
l fear the man who did the shooting
has gone from here"
Schultz, the police captain thinks, is
not able to stand much tramping or
sleeping about in the woods, and II he
has not committed suicide he probably
has gone to some other big city.
