DANIELS SAYS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Secretary
! Daniels issued statement today eX-
planning and defending his action in
! awarding to Hadfields Limited. a Brit
ish munitions company, contracts for
a large number of navy armor- piercing
projectiles at a price about 5000 each
below the lowest American bid. The
statement is in reply to published COM
ment upon the contract, which, Mr..
Daniels says, Convinced me that a
concise statement of the expenses of
the department in obtaining shells
equal in quality to those used by for
eign navies at a reasonable price is
necessary to enable the public to un-
derstand what has been going on"
Referring to a report in certain trade
journals that the British government
had urged Hadfields to seek this con-
tract for the purpose of creating a
panic in the American steel market,
and a resultant reduction in the export
price of American steel, the secretary
says that 'is a patent absurdity," as
such an order would have no apprec-
liable effect upon the market.
Mr. Daniels says the Bethlehem Steel
company, which has been filling the
papers Will liStHleiilS

these publications that it had failed to
make satisfactory shells on a contract
awarded two years ago.
Until it is able to fill its contracts"
he adds, sit does not become the Beth
lehem company to criticize the navy
department for awarding contracts to
manufacturers who can make shells
that meet the tests. | regard the atti
tude of these companies in this and
in other matters as most unfortunate
and We're there no relief through COM
petition either by the government or
by other more patriotic firms, | would
feel that they were putting our entire
program of preparedness in peril
THE department wishes to give all
of its orders to American manufactur-
ers whenever they quote reasonable
prices and furnish shells that meet
navy requirements Nothing but the
utter failure of the most patient nego-
tiations and appeals to the patriotism
Of the little group of steel manufac-
turers who have practical monopoly
OF this business have made il impera-
tive for the government to build
projectile factory and give a contract
to a foreign bidder"
The statement reviews the depart

makers during the last few. years to
show that bids from the British con-
Germ previously had been instrumental
IN compelling a reduction. In price for
projectiles furnished to this govern

important, it says, and adds:
What has not been made clear
however, is the failure of the compa-

spur of competition to drive them on

the quality of armOr- piercing shells

RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 21.-V minis
ter of marine has received & telegram
from the captain of the Port of Per-
nambuco confirming the previously re-
ported declaration of the commander
of the Brazilian steamer Maranhao,
that he had encountered two cargo
vessels, accompanied by two auxiliary
ships, believed to be Germans, all fly
ing the American flag
The Brazilian government. in addi-
tion TO sending out the coast defense
ship Deodoro TO guard the northern
coast of Brazil, has decided to despatch
the scout cruiser Rio Grande do Sui,
which will cruise between Natal and
Fernando da Noronha island and keep
close watch on the coast in these wat
ers. The two vessels will leave for the
north Tuesday.
The Rio Janeiro newspaper a Noti-
cia, says that about 100 sailors from
the German gunboat Eber, interned at
Bahia, are reported to have embarked
on the Swedish steamer St. Croix,
which left Rio Janeiro four days ago
and is said TO have met the German
raider on the high seas for the pur-
pose of putting these men aboard.
These sailors had been interned on CO.
bras island in the Bay of Rio Janeiro,
for more than year.
A representative of this newspaper
inspected the German steamer Hohen-
staufen in Rio Janeiro harbor and de-
clares that the vessel was taking on
provisions and water and steam up.
The Hohenstaufen and another German
steamer, the CaprOca, according to A.
Noticia, have made preparations to put
to sea.
Reports have been received here that
manifestations in favor of the Ger
mans took place on board the Spanish
steamer Leo XIII, when the work of the
raider became known. A number of
passengers aboard protested
The minister of Marine declared to-
day that the Brazilian warships which
are watching the coasts have been
given the strictest instructions to cap
ture any raiders operating in any man
ner that might injure BraZils neutral
ty. Without attaching any credence
to the reports that German steamers
were planning to escape from the ports
where they are interned, the minister
said captains of the ports had been or
dered to prevent any secret departures.
The British auxiliary cruiser Edin-
burg Castle entered Rio Janeiro harbor

which has been interned here, is filled
with war material.

Betty De Jong, prominent member Of
the San Francisco art colony, and a
painter of international repute, died
early today from a self inflicted bullet
wound in the head. The police said
today they had virtually completed
their investigation of the case and the
examination of DR.. William 5. Porter,
We'll known physician of Oakland,
who was in Miss De Jong's studio when
she shot herself After several hours
OF questioning he was permitted late
last night to so 10 his home
An autopsy was performed today, re-
vealing, the police said, no new facts.
An inquest will he held in q few DAYS
Dr. Porter told the police that his
relations with the young woman were
nothing more than those of two per-
sons mutually interested in art He is
president of the Alameda. County Art
association He met Miss De Jong, he
said. last year during the Panama
Pacific exposition, at which she had
several exhibits.
About three months ago according to
DIR. Porter, he began sitting for a por-
trait by Miss De Jong. He said he was
to have had sitting yesterday after
noon but was unable to keep the en-
eagement and called at the studio to
so inform the artist Miss De Jong. he
said, asked him to return before going
home. This he did shortly after 6
O'clock. Almost Immediately after his
arrival, the physician declares. Miss
De Jong began discussing suicide, all
the while holding a small revolver
For three hours, the physician said, he
tried to persuade the young woman not
to think of such thing and endeaV-
ored to have her fix her mind on her
art and future. Finally, when he was
about to leave, he said, Miss De Jone
shot herself in the temple
The police said tonight they found
in the studio not only complete cor
robcration of DR. Porter's story, but
evidence that Miss De Jong had care
fully set the stage for the tragic end
When DR.. Porter returned to the
studio at p. m. he found that the
furniture had been rearranged. He
said he was conducted to chair thai
had been placed by itself near the in
nermost wall of the studio. Under this
chair was a rug about eight feet
square.
Miss De Jong seated herself on big
chair near the door, produced the pistol
and informed him that she was going
to kill herself before he left.

doctor. "She pointed the gun at me
