Prof. II. b. Mathews Prof. A. S. Hard
ing, Miss Leola Lasell, president Of
the junior class of which Professor

association. Earh one of the speakers
emphasized Professor Whitehead's
worth as a teacher and as a man, his
sympathetic cooperation with stu
dents and his great work in building
up one of the most efficient pharmacy
schools in the United States.
Professor Mathews spoke especially
of Professor Whitehead's early life
and his heroic struggle to secure an
education at State College. The fact
that he rave up farming at an age
when most men are finishing their
college courses and took up the study
of pharmacy at the South Dakota Agrl-
cultural College, looking forward to
the practice of medicine. showed his
tendency of purpose. He travelled to
and from his studies from the farm
ten miles south Of Bookings and was
able to make a good record as a stu
dent in addition to the regular farm
work. His t%horoughness as a student
and his good judgment made him in
demand as a teacher. Consequently,
his ambition to become a physician
was not realized.

 Judge Patterson prefaced his ruling with the comment that the ThaW case had left trail of shame, and that Phil adelphia wanted little of it."
 MT. Scott asserted that the charges against Brewer would fall In New York, and said the motive in extraditing him was to hold him as a witness against Thaw Scott is also counsel for Thaw.
 Mr. Black argued that copies of tele- grams under date of January 6, which Thaw is said to have sent to Long Beach, Cal, inquiring about the whereabouts of the Gump boy, and of the dear master" letter which Thaw is alleged to have dic- tated to Gump, forcing him to describe the effects of flogging, were found on Brewer at the time of his arrest here, anC were conclusive evidence of the al legend conspiracy.
 Frank F.

A preliminary estimate for navy yard construction submitted by Assist ant Secretary Roosevelt was s17,500,- 900, but Secretary Daniels said that formal estimate would be furnished later
 Paymaster George P. Auld, who ex- amined the books of the Fore River, Newports News and Cramp Shipbutld- ing companies, told the committee that in preparing to take contracts on the basis of cost and percentage of profit the companies estimated material for each vessel at $10,000,000. labor at $4- 0G0, ,000 and overhead expenses at S2,- 50e,000, taking up the entire $l6,500,- 900 limit of cost to which profit and ex- tra expenses would be added. Pay master Aud pointed out that the cost of material a year or two ago would have been about $6,000.o0o and argued that in fixing their profit builders had figured on collecting percentage on the $4,000.0 900 imitation.
 Assistant Secretary Roosevelt told or negotiations with the steelmakers con- cerning material for the ships, saying they had agreed to a reduction of sS37,436 per ship. or total reduc- ton of $3.349.744 onA Aall four ships. provided the four were exactly alike. He pointed out that examination of the Fore River ship company's ten tative contracts showed that the bulk of its steel orders would go to the Carnegie Steel company. although the plant is controlled by the Bethlehem Steel company, because of the lower figures quoted by the Carnegie plant
 Representative Padgett. Chairman of the committee. asked Secretary Daniels if a saving could be made by putting tine ships in government yards. The secretary thought 1t probable He said that under the cost and profit plan the private builders would collect profit on manufactured material such as the electric drive machinery to go in the ships, although the government made the purchase and paid for the labor The department has asked Tor an additional $12,000,000 to equip its yards for construction work.
 The navy will continue to present. it's case tomorrow and on "Wednesday the shipbuilders will be heard.
