WAsHINGToN. Nov. 1s.-Secretary
Daniels publicly administered a most
unusual rcbuke to-day To members of
the court which recently tried three
pfncers charged with negligence and in
efficiency in connection with a boiler ex-
plosion on the cruiser san Diego OF the
Pacific coast last January.
The officers tried were Lieut.. Edison
c. Oak, Lieut.. X. l.. Hin and Chief
Machinist Thomas O'Donnell. The court
originally acquitted all three officers,
but one revision of It's findings in the
case of Lieut.. I'M found him guilty.
The Navy Department approved this
finding, but In view OF the acquittal Of
the two other officers removed the
sentence imposed on Lieut.. Hill,
The Department disapproved the find
ings in the two other cases and regards
the work of the court az tending to
lower the standards of efficiency in the

DANIELS THREATENS
WAR ON SHIPYARDS
May Ask Congress to Compel
Acceptance of Contracts
at His Price.
LONG DELAY IS PROBABLE

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s.--Renewal Of
the conflict between Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and American %shipbuild-
ing and steel firms is likely TO result
from bid submitted To the Navy De
partment yesterday for the construction
of the two battleships authorized by the
last Congress and supply Of the armor
plate for the vessels.
The bids are much higher than was
anticipated. The bidders specified 50
many additional expenses that must he
borne by the Government that the cost
Of both vessels would exceed the limit
OF cost fixed by Congress.
The excuse given for tho Increase IL
that the war has brought about unusual
conditions In the steel and allied indus
products bringing n higher price but
that wages have increased through the
stimulation of these industries by the
purchases of belligerents. and that the
demand in excess OF supply will cause
delay in deliveries.
Mr.. Daniels Is rather rescntful on "
phases Of the situation. First, he asks,
how Is IL to be explained that all the
private bidd RS request omission or the
same items OF expense, usually borne by
contractors? The agreement on tins
point among the supposedly competitive
bidders must be regarded as more thaii

ton Is one on which Mr., Daniels has

ceeded in effrcting a considerable re-
duction in armor plate prices as a re-
suit of his night on this point.
The second phase of the situation
criticised by Mr., Daniels Is that the
firms should have permitted themselves
to become so loaded up with other con-
tracts that they cannot produce battle
shin material under conditions as adj
yantageous TO the Government as here
tofore. He believes that the steel COM
panies ought to have made allowance
Tor the contracts. which they knew as
long < az last spring were TO be
offered in the fall. This view of the
Secretary that steel plants should turn
down business actually in hand 50 as
to he open for prospective contracts
from the United states caused much
comment here to-day.
Mr.. Daniels feels strongly on these
questions. There are indications h "A
