Gov ernment work Is helping tax tho capacities or Delaware River establishments to tho last man and the utmost Inch of yard space and equipment The opening of bids In Washington yes terday for the construction of four battle ships and twenty destroyers revealed In part this prosperous condition of affairs In the local yards. The William Cramp Ship and Knglne Building Company, pioneer of tho Philadel phia constructors, and from tho beginning of the "White Squadron" one of tho chief factors In the building of the American navy, submitted offers to construct one of the battleships on a straight ten per cent commission basis. Charles T. Taylor, sec retary and treasurer of tho Arm, explains the peculiar form of the bid by attributing It entirely to the abnormal condition of the labor market The company, he said, has had offers of more work than it can per. form, and only the patriotic policy of his concern Induced It to enter the competition for the Government work. It has always been a rule of Cramps, Mr, Taylor ex , plained, to .take care bf Government work first, and whenever additions to the navy have been desired thotflrm ha entered the bidding, although acceptance of Its offer would necessitate the holding .back of pri vate and merchant marine work. In the destroyer class the Cramps offer to build two vessels complete In twenty-soven and twenty-eight months for $1,195,000 each, or four vessels at the same figure) delivery to be made In twenty-soven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine and thirty months, respectively. MAY IMPItOVE NAVY YARD The Navy Department cognisant of the wonderful demand upon the Delaware River shipyards and the availability of Philadel phia, a & shipbuilding center, Is giving new attention to the proposition to expend as much of the JO, 000, 000 for preparing the Government yards for shipbuilding and In equipping the Philadelphia yard to build at least two of the new battleships. Plans for this equipment were evolved at a con ference of navy officials In Washington last night An' official statement issued last night through the Department of Commerce shows thati tbs Delaware niver shipyards' total tonnage under construction exceeds those of all the principal shipbuilding .districts. Including Glasgow, Newcastle and Belfast Tho Delaware yards reported a total of ninety ships building with tonnage aggre gating 419,313 gross. The nearest ap proach to this record among European cen ters was Newcastle with 401,920 gross, tons. Other American centers are far be hind, the Great Lakes showing 216,046; Chesapeake Bay, 212,796; San Francisco Bay, 211,628; Puget Sound and Columbia River, 182,090, The total construction on September 30 In progress In the United Kingdom was 469 Vessels, with gross tonnage of 1,789,054, against a tonnage of 1,454,270 gross In the United States, The figures apply to steel merchant ships only. Those for the United Stalls Include ships ordered, but not begun. While i those for the United Kingdom cover only ships of which construction has been begun. Within the last few days many large contracts for vessels have been awarded to Delaware River builders. The Pennsylvania Shipbuilding Company, of Gloucester, yes terday was reported to have obtained or ders for ten vessels with a total carrying capacity of 92.0001 tons, the aggregate amount Involved, according to George S.

PHUADELPHIA TRUST CO. TRIES GROUP INSURANCE Employes' Dependents to Be Taken Care of by Enterpris ing Fiduciary Institution Group Insurance of employes of tho Phil adelphia Trust Company Is the latest plan put In force by President Thomas S. Gates. The cost to the company will come be tween 1200 and $1500 a year for tho group plan, but officials think It Is worth every cent of tho outlay. Not one of the 109 employes will bear any expense and the dependents nt any who die will be given an amount equal to one year's Balary of the deceased. For years tho company has taken care of dependents of employes who died, but the group Insuranco plan widens the scopu of the company's "help our employes" policy. "An employe making a thousand dollars a yoar, which Is tho average salary, will now bo able to Invest the forty or fifty dollars ho would pay on a $1000 Insurance policy," said John C. Wnllace, an official of tho company. "When he dies his widow Is taken care of by us and Instead of hav ing the money In a lump sum, which often results In her being the victim of unsafe Investments, tho money Is given her In monthly payments, or Just as she desires. Through this method the amount will some times be made to stretch over two years." 27 BURNED TO DEATH IN CANADIAN HOSPITAL Twenty Injured by Jumping From Windows of Farnham, Que., Institution FARNHAM, Quo., Oct. 26. At 1 o'clock today it was reported that at least twenty soven Uvea had been lost In tho flro which had destroyed tho Catholic Hospital, St Elizabeth's Hall, and Btables during the night. Twenty persons were Injured by jumping from the upper stories, about twelve of them chtldron. The fact that the survivors nre scattered In homes all over the town makes the work of compiling a list of the missing difficult. Tho flro Is believed to have started from a defective chimney. It spread so swiftly that the 3S0 Inmates were unable to reach safety before many of them were marooned by the flames. Patients and employes fought In wild at tempts to reach exits. When an Investigation is begun startling revelations are promised, for tho fire es capes are said to have always proved de fective In emergencies and many of the deaths and Injuries are attributed to the fact that these avenues of escape were quickly block4d.

The result of no election can bo n certainly until the votes are counted, Hut there are always" pre election pointers which Indicate almost un erringly what the result will be. There have been many polls taken show. Ing various results, but the only official Indications of the political trend In the country have been In the primary elec tions. These, In all tho States where the battle between the two political parties is being fought nut. show nn overwhelming Republican sentiment. For Instance, In the primary of the State of Washington 214,000 Republican votes were cast and only 34,000 Democratic It Is said that some Democrats voted for Re publicans who will ote tholr own tlckot In the November election. It Is Inconceivable that 1QO.O0O Democratn voted thus In the primary election, which would havo to bo the case for tho Democrats to win. Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas, Ohio.

The olalma have been mado that tho Democrats will carry Pennsylvania, and yet tho en rollment mado In Philadelphia was 242,648 Republicans and only 25,679 Democrats. These actual primary returns Indicate to me that the Republicans will carry these groups of States: New England, 44 votes. Middle States, 100 votes. Middle West 131 votes. Pacific coast 26 votes. Either no primaries have been held, or no results nre available In tho Rocky Mountain group, consisting of the States of Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Colorndo, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico, casting thirty votes.

E. Richards, president of the George B. Newton Coal Company, ald today that the backbone of the strike being waged by former drivers for shorter hours had -been broken. Evidence of this, he said, was shown In the fact that fifty drivers of tha 160 who quit last week had returned to work. "It Is untrue," said Mr. Richards, "that the Oeorge B. Newton Coal Company Is op posed to unionism, but as long as the men work for us. we wish to be their employers and not have walking delegates act as such." "The strike occurred, ' he continued, "be cause one of the strikers was guilty of In subordination. After careful Investigation of the employe's case we felt justified In discharging him and did so." While Mr. Richards was declaring the strike, was on the wane, the "Black Maria" was carrying to Moyamenslng twenty-four men sentenced for participation In a riot last night between striking drivers and strike-breakers.

In less than two ?,,, ,i Wotla men and women of the United States will vote a thundering In dorsement of Woodrow Wlbon and his Ad ministration, and will reelect a Democratlo Senate nnd House of Representatives. I mention women, because In the States whero they enjoy suffrage my reports In dlcate that a large majority of them have joined with the men to roll up an unprce edented popular plurality for the Presi dent They will share the glory of the victory, for even In States wherein they iV no. lho r,Bht of "utrage we have dally evidence of the Influence they wield In sustaining the President. There hns been much talk within the Inst ten days or two weeks, about "the turning of the tide toward Wilson." It Is my view that the so-called tide haa been running toward Wilson all tho while, and that what the people are pleased to de nominate the "turning of the tide" Is only a visible manifestation of the strong under current that hns been moving Wllsonward ever since tho S Louis convention. To be sure, there have been developments nnd disclosures that have tended to bring this undercurrent to the surface, but It Is my candid Judgment that the result has never been In doubt In saying this, I do not underestimate the vnlue of the work that the friends and supporters of tho Pres ident and Democratic, Progressive and In dependent organizations have rendered In this campaign nnd will bo rendered up to tho closing of the' polls on election day. I haven't a doubt that tho next Congress will be Democratic In both branches. Sen ator Saulsbury, of Delaware, In charge of the Democratic senatorial campaign, and Representative Prank 13. Doremus, chairman o: tho Democratic congressional campaign committee, have given me assurances that convince me that the Democrats will make substantial gains in tho House and Senate. The senatorial and congressional commit tees have worked In closo co-operation with the national committee, and I am per sonally familiar with the conditions on which they predicate tholr optimistic re ports as to tho complexion of tho next Congress. I have an abiding faith In the character of tho reports that have corne to me throughout tho campaign. I am confirmed In the Judgment that the President will sweep the country by a popular plurality that will astonish his carping critics nnd the destructive elements composing tho opposition. The people are for Wilson because Wil son Is for tho people and stands for true Amorlcnnlsm against tho pussy-footing attitude of 'his opponents. BRITISH LURES FAIL TO STOP SHIP LINE Continued from Paso One Htamp the actions of the British agents ns most despicable., declaro they will ship direct from Philadelphia, even If they haVo to pay as much as $5 a ton more than tho rate offered by tho British lines. Several of the business men here pointed out that the low rate of shipment offered by the British companies was a subterfuge carried out now for future gain. They declared that the British companies were throwing out herring to catch a whale, and expressed the belief that they hope to crush out the Philadelphia-South Ameri can line with low rates and later, when competition has been removed, to raise the rates to any figure they are disposed. "CONTEMPTIBLE TACTICS" Howard B. French, of tho paint and drug firm of Samuel II. French oi Co., and presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce, said: "I cannot speak too strongly against such con temptible tactics. No Inducement either of lower rates or any other conceivable consid eration would Induce my firm to ship to South American portB by any other line. I nnd those associated with mo In the estab lishment of the line have too much civic pride and have tho welfare of the develop ment of the port of Philadelphia too 'much at heart to be Influenced even if an offer wore made for the free transportation of our shipments." WILL SUPPORT LINE Charles Vaughan, manager of Dungan, Hood & Co., leather manufacturer;, said the fact that British shipping Intcrosts wcro cutting rates and offering other Induce ments to shippers of freight to South Amor Ica In order to put the Philadelphia-South American Steamship Line out of business wns news to him, but he had no hesitation In saying that not only his firm but also all the large shippers of freight to South Amer ica In this city would decidedly support the new line, no matter what the Inducements held out to them. A, V. Somcrs, manager of N. & O. Taylor, 300 Chestnut street, said if his firm wero offered IS a ton less by way of New York for their South American freight they would absolutely refuse It. The enormous convenience to them through being able to superintend personally their own shipments cquld not be measured In money value, and as long as they can get freight shipped from this port to South America they aro going to ship It that wuy.
