Des Moines, Nov For many
weeks, in my speeches, | have been
challenging the statements in Bishop
Stunts interview in the Des Moines
Register, first that he had known me
for twenty years, and afterward that
he had known of me for twenty
years." said Lieutenant Governor w.
L. Harding, the republican guberna-
torial candidate, in an interview in
the Mason City Times. Il have ask
ed that the bishop tell who it was
who was reporting to him about me
twenty years ago when l was work
ing in grocery store in Sibley, and
down to twelve years ago while was
following various occupations between
school years. Since that time, until
recently, Bishop Stuntz has been in
New York City, the Philippine ISL
ands, or South America, and have
asked who had been keeping the bish-
OPP posted about me during those
years.
Friday morning the Des MONIES
Register assumed to settle and dis
pose of the matter, saying. The truth

BIDS FOR SCOUT CRUISERS
Four of This Glass and Twenty-Seven
Submarines to Be Ordered by
The United States.

Washington, Nov. bids were op.
ened and are being considered at the
navy department today for four scout
cruisers and twenty-seven coast type
submarines, leaving only proposals
for four battle cruisers to be received
before construction of all the 1917
building program can begin. Figures
for four battleships and twenty de-
stroyers are now under consideration
at the department and awards prob
ably will be made next week. r..
The scout cruisers are new type
for the navy, designed to make a sus-
tanned speed of thirty-five knots an
hour. EACH will be equipped with "A
device for launching aeroplanes at
sea and will carry aircraft 20 extend
It's zone Of daylight operations. The
vessels will be large enough to cover
long distances in search of an enemy
and will depend upon their speed for
defense against any ship more heavily
armed than destroyers.
The submarines will be of the same
type as the present O-boats of the
navy. Although intended for work
close to shore, their fuel capacity will
permit them to cross the ocean.
Navy officials expect no difficulty in
getting the submarines under con-
tract, but it is thought builders may
hesitate to take contracts for the
cruisers.
Only One Bid.
Washington, Nov. Bids, opened
by the navy department today for
four scout cruisers to cost not more
than $5,OOO,O00 apiece, brought out
only one actual bid, that of the Seat
tie Construction Dry Dock Co., to
build one cruiser for 1875 coo.

BIG CROWD
EXPECTED
FOR CAM E

Every seat at Athletic park will
be occupied tomorrow afternoon
when the Elks-Shriners baseball
game is called, according to pre-
dictions of the lodgemen today.
More interest is being shown in
the contest than in any similar
game staged here for years. 1t is
safe bet, also, that the fans who
attend tomorrow's contest will
see a regular ball game, without
any slightest resemblance to an
amateur contest.
Manager Clinton Marley of the
Elks club had his team out for a
stiff workout at the Stadium last
night, and reported today that he
was well satisfied with the play
ers.
Manager Guy Norton of the
Shriners' nine is maintaining a
yelled mystery about his lineup,
but says that he will take a lot
of conceit out of the Elks when
he gets them on the field tomor-
row.
A parade will form at the Elks
temple at 2 o'clock. The game
starts shortly after 3. All funds
derived from the contest will go
towards sending the Afifi band
and patrol cas-, to the annual con-
clave of the Shriners this sum-
mer.

VANCOUVER, Il. C.. June O.
Playing a brilliant, errorless
game yesterday afternoon, Russ
HALL sTacoma Tigers easily de-
feated Vancouver, after a batting
rally in the third inning which
netted five runs.
The victory caused Tacoma TO

Tige is now in third place, and
is so close to second place that
he will get there this afternoon
II Butte loses and Tacoma wins.
Durham gave the game away in
the third. The Vancouver pitcher
got himself excited when lie made
a high peg to first on Bonner's
easy grounder. After that he
allowed four straight hits, two of
them doubles. a sacrifice hit and
q passed ball. When the dust
cleared away, Tacoma had five
tallies on the board.
The Tiger infield played the
most brilliant ball seen here this
season. They made three clean
double plays, fielded all manner
of hard hit balls, and did not
make an error. Bonner did not
pitch well for the visiting club.
He retired in the third, with the
bases full and one down. Suth-
erland took up the lob, and a
lightning double play finished the
inning

has the feature position on the
bill. His impersonations of we'll

truly remarkable.
Ben Smiths repertoire of

nicely. The three Links have a
barrel-jumping act that's fast and
original. Florence Russell sings
very we'll, and whistles even bet
ter. The Malcoms have "rube"

"A Yellow Streak" in which
Lionel Barrymore appears at the

serves much praise. The Sydney
Drews have a clever comedy on
the same bill.
Many who have seen Miss Ger

this picture surpasses her work
in Carmen" That is sufficient
boost for any film.

Marshall, according to Mrs. Han
