KX-MIL LION AIRE IS
POORHOl’SK INMATE
CHICAGO, March 24.—Janies W.
l’aige, inventor of “one of the most
lemarkahle pieces of mechanism
tver put together,” is in the poor
house at Oak Forest, 111. Twenty-five
vears ago he was owner of the Paige
compositor plant here, for the mak
ing of typesetting machines. Upward
• if $2,000,000 was invested in the
plat:'.. Paige was reputed to be worth
- 1,500.000 at the time. Mark Twain
was one of the investors.
In the panic of 1898 Mr. Paige
lost his money. His great, invention
••■’though a mechanical marvel, prov
ed impractical in the state to which
it had been brought, and needed fur
iher development, which never came.
Mark Twain, who lost a large sum
l y the smash, went on a lecture tour
•• round the world to pay his debts.
Mr. Paige “disappeared.”
Paiges name was written into the
Encyclopedia Britannica. and of his
work it was said:
“One of the most remarkable pieces
of mechanism ever put together.”
INTERNED RAIDERS
ARE DECLARER MENACE
WASHINGTON, D, C„ Mar. 24.—
Formal request for the removal from
the League Island navy yard of the
interned German commerce raiders
Priiiz Eitel Friedrich and Kronprinz
Wilhelm, or the 700 men comprising
their crews, was made personally to
Secretary Daniels yesterday by Mayor
Smith, of Phtladeplhia, on the ground
ihat they constituted a menace to
the safety of the city.
The mayor was told that tranter or
ihe German crews already was under
consideration. He also was assured
that every precaution was being taken
to guard against the possibility of
;:ny disturbance by the German sailors
■and that they were under constant
surveillance by the navy yard author
ities.
No official report of the arrest on
■charges of smuggling of some of the
■Germans has reached the department.
•Officials said they had heard inform
ally, however, that several arrests
had been ' made and that rumors
were current in Philadelphia that
high explosives were being secretly
taken aboard the ship. It has been
• uggested that the interned crews be
•.-eift to somQ inland barracks, but
.none have been found available.
WATTLE CRUISERS WILL
BE BUILT AT ONCE
WASHINGTON. D. C., Mar. 24.—
Bids on six thirty-five knot cruisers,
received at the navy department to
<lay, probably insure immediate plac
ing of contracts for all the ships.
Four companies submitted figures.
With the exception of the bid of the
Union Iron Works company of San
Francisco, ail were direct and within
the $6,000,^00 limit set by congress.
The Cr*»ps, Philadelphia, lowest
bidder, offpfpd to construct two ships
at $6,950,000 each, one in thirty
months and the other iu thirty-two.
Modifications in design proposed by
•the company would reduce the price
to $5,910,000 each.
|
The Seattle Construction & Dry
dock company, which already has a'
contract for one similar ship at. less
than $5,000,000, offered to build
another in thirty months at $5,975,
000. Figures were submitted on the
basis of an eight-hour day and the >
government would assume the cost,
for any speeding up expenses.
The Fore River Shipbuilding com
pany proposed to build two ships in
thirty and thirty-one months times
at $5,596,000 each.
The proposal of the 1'nion Iron
Works stated that because of high
lreight rates and cost of labor on the
1 acific coast the ships could not be
built within the $6,000,000 limit. As
an act of patriotism, however, the
company proposed to undertake con
struction of two at a flat price of
$6,000,000 each in thirty and thirty
one months.
The Cramps bid was bused oil the
understanding that the company
would not be required to construct
a battle cruiser as its plants are not
of sufficient capacity to build both
scouts and battle cruisers at the same
time.

STEFANSSON WINTERING
AT PRICE OF WALES
DAWSON, Y. T„ March 24.—The
Canadian Royal Northwest police ex
pedition arrived here today with news
of Stefansson, the Arctic explorer,
who was with the Polar Bear winter
ing at Prince of Wales strait. The
news, the first in months of the ex
plorer, who was with the Polar Bear
wintering at the Prince of Wales
strait. The news, the first in months
of the explorer, was brought from
Herschel island by Capt. Lenauze,
commander of the Herschel island
police, who made the trip of 200 miles
to Fort McPherson alone with a dog
team, considered a remarkable feat
in Arctic travel.
Lenauze says Stefansson hopes the
ice will let him escape northward, so i
that he can make the Northwest pas- >
sage, concluding his voyage at Mon
treal. Lenauze says the explorer de
dares the so-called white Eskimos!
are a myth.
The expedition broughts news that;
Lenauze last summer crossed Coro
nation gulf from Great Bear lake and
captured to copper Eskimos who it
is charged murdered two Catholic
priests, Fathers Rouviere and Leroux
in the vicinity of Dismal lake four
years ago. They are held at Herschel
Island and will be taken to Fort Mc
Pherson in the spring.
