COMMITTEE WRESTLES
With BATTLE CRUISERS
DANIELS TAKES HIS
PROBLEM TO CONGRESS
Lowest Bids Are $4,000, 900
Higher Than the Cost
Authorized by Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Is
Secretary Daniels carried to the House
naval committee today the problem OF
getting under construction the four
ba1tlecruisers already authorized for
the navy.
Details as 10 negotiations with pri'
vate shipbuilders were laid before the
committee with the definite state,
ment that the ships could not be built
in private plants for less than Sl8,,
100000 each, or S2,000,0D0 more. than
the fixed limit of cost. 4 preliminary
estimate for navy yard construction,
submitted by Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, was S17,5O.000, but Secre-
tary Daniels said that a formal estl'
mate would be furnished later.
Paymaster George p. Auld, who. ex'
amined the books of the Fore River,
Newport News and Cramn shlpbulld'
ing companies, told the committee that
in preparing to take contracts on the
basis of cost and a percentage OF proht
the companies estimated material for
each vessel at S10.000,000; labor at
81, 900, 900. and overhead expense at
$2.500,000. taking up the entire SIG,
100000 limit of cost, 10 which proht
and extra expenses would be added.
Paymaster Auld pointed out that the
cost of material year or two ago
would have been about $6,000,00 and
argued that in fixing their profit the
builders had figured on collecting a
percentage on the S4000,000 imitation.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt told
of negotiations with rhe steel makers
concerning material for the ships, say:
ing they had agreed to a reduction OF
SS37,436 per ship, or a total reduction
of s3,349,744 on all four ships. provid'
ed the four were exactly alike. He
pointed out that examinati ton Of the
Fore River Ship Company's tentative
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.
The navy will continue 10 present
IT'S case tomorrow. and on Wednesday
The shipbuiledrs will be heard.

ment sentences and fines will become
effective within thirty days.
The court divided five to three in
broadly interpreting the law, enacted
In 1910. Chief Justice White, and
Justices McKenna and Clarke in a
minority opinion held that Congress
intended to have the law apply only
to actual traffic" in women and not
to personal 1mmoralities.& Justice
4fcReynolds, who was attorney-gener-
III during prosecution Of Caminetti and
Digs, took no part in the cases.
The majority opinion, given by JUS

ENTENTE REPLY
BAR To PEACE
FOREIGN MINISTER OF
GERMANY TALKS TO A. P.
Says Note Precludes Germany
Making Public Terms Of
Peace at This Time.

BERLIN, Jan. IA, by wireless 10 the
Associated Press, via Sayville.-Dr.
Alfred Zimmerman, the German for
eign minister. informed the Associated
Press to-day that, In his opinion, the
Entente reply to President Wilson's
peace note bars the possibility for the
present Of German steps to bring
about peace. In particular, he said, 1t
precluded any direct announcement by
Germany of her peace conditions, In
answer to the terms set forth In the
latest Entente note.
DR.. Zimmerman asserted, however,
that the answer Of the Entente to tho
President did not finally and com.
pletely close the door to later efforts
for peace, before one side or the other
was completely crushed.
The foreign minister, In the course
Of conversation with the Associated
Press correspondent last night, de-
clared, although with obvious reluct-
ance, that it was impossible for him to-
give a more definite statement OF the,
peace program of the Central powerE
than that indicated in the declaration
of DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the
chancellor, because the German terms
were such that the unsolicited promul-
cation Of them in their moderate de-
tails, after what he characterized the
aspiring program Of conquest and dis
memberment outlined by the Entente,
would be interpreted by the Entente
powers as a sign OF weakness and OF q
desire for peace at any cost.
Publication Of the peace terms OF
the Central powers, therefore, would
defeat Its very purpose, said DR.. Zim.
norman. The foreign minister ex-
pressed doubt whether. after what he
described as the rebuff to President
Wilson's peace efforts given In the re.
ply of the Entente, the President could
take any further action for the pres
ent, adding that the Entente answer
excluded for the present any possibili'
ty of peace.
Expressing profound conviction
that the program Of the Entente pow.
ers never could be carried into effect,
DR.. Zimmerman intimated that . fail
ure of the Entente's offensive this
year, which he expected, might again
make it possible to approach the sub.
ject Of peace on reasonable, terms and
with some prospect Of success,

JUDGE REFUSES WRIT
OF HABEAS CORPUS
Thaw' S Mother is Constantly
With Son andHas Engaged
an Array of Lawyers.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 15.-JudGe
J. NJ. Patterson in common pleas
court late today decided that Oliver
A. Brewer, charged with conspiracy
to kidnap Frederick Gump Of Kansas
City, who accused Harry X. Thaw of
beating him, must be returned to New
York. Brewer will be taken to that
city tonight.
Henry ]. Scott, Brower's attorney,
enumerated several reasons why his
Judge Patterson ruled that the ques-
tion Of Identification was the only
point in the case with which the local
courts were concerned whereupon
Scott quickly ended the proceedings
BY admitted that Brewer was the
man named in the indictment and
that he was in New York on January
S, the time Of the alleged conspiracy
with Thaw to induce Gump to go to
New York. Assistant District Attor-
ney Black, Of New York, contended
that it was the intention of Thaw and
Brewer to :prevent Gump from testi-
fying to the alleged attack by Thaw
in New York hotel on Christmas
day.
Judge Patterson prefaced his rul-
ing with the comment that the Thaw
case had left a trail Of shame and
that Philadelphia wanted little of ii" !"
Thaw's mother, who is staying at
the hospital where he is recovering
from an attempt at suicide. was at
her sons bedside for nearly four
hours today, comforting and consol-
ing him. She would not disclose
what legal moves were to be made in
Thaw's behalf when his condition
permits his removal from the hospit-
al. Thaw has an array Of attorneys
here from New York and Pittsburgh,
however. and local officials regard
this mobilization Of legal talent as the
preliminary to a serious effort to
keep him within the jurisdiction Of
the Pennsylvania courts.

ADMIRAL DEWEY.
IS NEAR DEATH
HERO OF MANILA BAY
IS. SINKING RAPIDLY
Was Stricken Last Thursday
and Failed to Rally-The
End is Not Far Off.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. - George
Dewey, admiral Of the navy and hero
of Manila bay, is on his death bed.
a general breakdown accompanied by
arterio sclerosis has shattered the
veterans strength in his eightieth
year and tonight he lies at his home
here semi.conscious with life gradu-
ally ebbing away, The doctors say
he may live thirty-siN hours.
The admiral was stricken last
Thursday as he was leaving home for
the navy department, where as presi-
dent of the general board he has been
at his desk almost daily during the
past sixteen of his siXty-two years Of
service In the navy. He collapsed and
had TO be carried TO his bed. When
physicians were called they were
alarmed, but knowing the admiral's
great recuperative powers and his
keen aversion to any suggestion Of
his failing, they determined 10 make
no immediate announcement regard
ing his illness. Inquirers were told
that the admiral had cold.
But the great strength of the aged
officer had ben sapped and there was
no recuperation. This morning his
condition had become so serious that
1t was decided 10 state the facts 10
the public. Later it became known
that Admiral Dewey had a severe ill.,
ness more than Il year ago about
which only his physicians and init
mates knew, and that he never had
been the same physically since.
Mrs. Dewey and the admral's son,
George, Jr., are with him and have
been told that the end is near.
