ASK SUCCESSOR TO EVANS.
Conferences to Recommend District Su

Special to Times-Republican
Nora Springs, April 5-When the dis
trict conference convenes here the lat
ter part OF this month one Of the
things that will doubtless be done is
to recommend to Bishop Bristol a sue
cessor to District Superintendent Evans
who recently died at a hospital at Des
Moines. While it is not necessary for
the conference to do this it. is thought
that Bishop Bristol would act upon
any suggestion that might be offered
along this line. The bishop might go
outside Of the Cedar Falls district for
his man. Unless some of the larger
churches are touched for a successor
to DR.. Evans it is not going to be easy
to get the man that is most needed.

CONTRACT GIVEN
Propelling Machinery for the
California Costs 100000
Less than Turbine.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. April 26.-A s431, 900
contract has been awarded to the Cen
eral Electric Company for the construc-
tion of the propelling machinery for
the dreadnought California, which will
be the first battleship of any nation
equipped with the electric drive. The
estimate Of the cost of steam drive
equipment furnished by the New York
Navy Yard constructors was S63l 900.
Secretary Daniels believes that the
electric drive is cheaper than a turbine
installation and that it offers superior
economy in operation, with incidental
reduction in weight and utilization of
full power in backing ship.
The machinery will be built at Sche-
nectady. y. Y. from the plans of W. L.
