the vessel on the voyage. rf
The Makee made the trip south under
slow power, taking twenty-four hours
to make the passage. On the re.
turn trip, she was let out little and
did the same distance in eighteen and
a half hours, which, says the superin.'
tendent, is not the vessel s full capac-
ity. The engines worked satisfactorily
in. every respect, and the Makee will
be put regularly upon the run, reliev'
ing the motor vessel J. "A. Cummins.
The voyage home was made with ex.
cellent weather, but heavy seas and
winds accompanied her south and for
one day at Kailua grew so bad that
the vessel had to discontinue loading
and put TO sea. She brought in thirty.
four hundred sacks of Kona Develop

partment that il would make a reduc-
tion of ten per cent, in the cost of
materials for the new battle cruisers to
assist the department in building them
within the appropriation of $l6,500, 900
apiece. The reductionyis to be made
not only to the Fore RIVER shipbhildr
ing Company, but to other concerns
competing with it. 49, q
1t was stated on behalf of the Beth.
lehem Company that the reduction Is
made from motives Of patriotism, and
as result of an appeal to the company
by Franklin ID. Roosevelt, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, &c.,.
A representative of the Bethlehem
Company said that IL the other COM
panies. supplying battleship material
would make a similar reduction, the
cost of materials for one battle cruiser
would be cut from $lo,00o,OO0 to
SO, 000, 900. ..... .'i #a....."
The bids for the new battle cruisers
were opened Dec. o. The law authof.
lied an expenditure Of not more than
$l6,500,000 for each cruiser, exclusive
of armor and armament. These cruis-
ers are designed TO carry ten l4-ineh
guns and to make speed of thirty
five knots. Completed, it was esti-
mated each would cost $20,000,000.
All On Percentage Basis

Bethlehem steel subsidiaries, the Fore
River Company and the Union Iron
Works; the Newport News Shipbuild,
ing and Dry Dock Company and Will
liam Cramp 4 Sons of Philadelphia.
All of the bids were on a percentage
basis. The Newport News and the
Cramp Companies wanted ten per cent
above cost of construction, while the
Fore River and the Union Companies
asked "l5 per cent, or such other com
mission as the federal trade commission
may consider reasonable.

isfed with these offers and asked the
shipbuilders to show their cost esti'
mates. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
after seeing the estimates, concluded
that the cruisers would cost at least
SIT 800 900 apiece, or 100000 more
than the specified limit for each

Before a crowd of two thousand

work and his support was good.
Anybody's Game All Way Through
Up to the last inning and until the
last man was called out, il was any
bOdy's game. A closer and more ex-
citing contest has not been played at
the big post in many q moon.
In the whole game there was only
one hit made for extra bases and hon
ors in this line went to Jackson of the
Thirty-seeond in the ninth inning.
Neither side scored during the first
four innings and during this time the
opposing mines only secured two hits
apiece.
In the fifth inning the Twenty. fifth
brought home the first run of the
afternoon and repeated in the eighth
when tho Wreekers scored the second
run of the game. The Thirty.second
players were able to get only four hits
of Rogan in the nine innings he fed
them straights and curves and drops.
wreckers Better With Stick
The Wreckers did better work with
the stick than did their opponents and
this told the story in the end. In this
department of the game the Thirty

timely hit, when hitting counts ON the
