The opening of bids In Washington yes

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

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

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.

By WILLIAM R. WILLCOX
Chslrman of the Republican Nstlonsl Committee
Ni:W YORK, Oct 26. 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,

These actual results brush away tho fan
tastic claims that Prestdont Wilson Is going
to carry half the northern States. 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. Four of these States, cast
ing fourteen votes, are dependably Repub
lican and four, casting sixteen votes,
usually Democratic.
The Southern States, Alabama, Arkansas.
Florida, Qeorgio, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia
and Texas, aggregatng 114 electoral otcs,
are Democratic beyond question.
The Dakotas and Nebraska form a group
consisting of eighteen votes, of which tho
two Dnkotas, with ten votes, nro regarded
as safely Republican, while Nebraska, with
eight votes. Is debatable..
The remaining States, Kentucky (13),
Tennessee (12), Maryland (8), Missouri
(18), Oklahoma (10) and West Virginia
(8), may be classed as debatable, with In
dications at this time that the Republicans
will get thirty-four and tho Democrats
thirty-five of their sixty-nine votes.

50 OF 150 COAL STRIKERS
RETURN TO THEIR JOBS
Backbone of Trouble Broken,
Newton Company's Presi
dent Says
J. 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. All of tiie 'merfTecelvcd
sentences of five days with the exception of
Oeorge Wallace. 614 North Eighth street,
and Augustus J. Reese, of 2863 Janney
street, who got thirty days, hnd Paul Lucas,

days.
The riot took place at Memphis and Let
terly streets, on a southbound Frankford
car. Strike-breakers riding In the car were
attacked with bricks and two women

Chairman of the Democratlo National Committee
NEW YORK, Oct. 28. 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.
"PHANTOMS" VANISH

Poll Will Bo Smaller in "Many
Wards Because of Investigation
The votes which will be cast from the

prevention of "phantom" votes.
"The ward leaders this year,"" said Secre
tary Roach, "arenot permitting 'phantoms'
to register, knowing that the Committee

Oats, accusations, prices, statistics CorT
mon Councilman William J McClMktv iJt
the Sixteenth Ward, and Director jj
McLaughlin, of the Department of 8um,h1?
are nil floating In n potpourri of vetblare!' '
Tho controversy began yesterday after,
noon nnd threatened to disrupt a perfect!,
nice meeting of the Finance Commluei
Today It Is reported as "going strong." '
This Is tho question. Who knows th
m"t nbout the price of oats? Councilman
McCloskey, a brawny teamster of long ...
penciice. or the city's expert purchasinr
agent. Director MacLaughlln, rcn"ln
They nre both organisation Republlcana.
but even the best of friends must "fall ou
occasionally, '
It began thus! Director "Mack" was ask. '
Ing for the approval of a 12.000 Item tn
buy feed for the horses and live stock ba. '
longing to the Department of CharltlM
when the teamster Councilman "sllpjed on.
over" whllo tho Director "wurrn't lookla."
Mr. McCloskey asked tne unsunpectlnr
Director what ho paid for oats, and wntJ
he leurncd that It was slxty-three and
three-fifths cents per bushel ho said.
"Why. I could fill the whole room at
fifty-eight cents per bushel, he said. '
Councilman McCloskey also wanted to
know why David McMullln. Jr., who la suo.
plying the city with 110,000 bushels of xau
for tho present year, always receives the
contrnct. He contends that It Is a poor
business policy to purchase oats on the
yearly plan, and suggests that the city
buy a three-month quantity, watch thi
market nnd buy furthsr supplies when tha
market Is reasonable.
The Sixteenth Ward Councilman bam
his view on forty-seven years' experience at
a teamster. Ho proudly points to the fact
that he has been at the one place on Front
Etrcct for more than forty years. He begia
with five horses and at the present tlmt
haa thirty horses and motortrucks.
Although the finance committee approved
Director MacLaughlln's Item following his
explanation when h cites tne extra cost of
delhcry and numerous other points that
tend to Increase the price of city oats, the
discussion has not ceased by any means.
Ist night tho Director burned "midnight
oil" nnd armed himself with a bundle of
statistics that ho Is about to hurl Into the
camp of Teamster McCloskey, who Is stand
ing his ground tlrmly.
The director hns figures to shaw that the
jeahrly plun Is bettor, that McMullln sup.
piles nearly all the large department stores
who purchase on the monthly plan and that
on an nrcrage tho figures show that the
city la getting a shade tho beHer of trie
deal.
He calls attention to the fact that the
cost of delivering In small quantities to all
parts of the city, tho cost of bags, bonding
of the bidder and price of executing the
contract nil fall on that contractor, who
takes these points Into consideration when
ho offers an estimate on tho contract, lie
says that the quarterly, semiannual and t
early plan have been tried by the city un
successfully. SOCIAL WELFARE CONFERENCE
