DISPUTE HALTS
ship BUILDING
No Contracts Let Because
Of Controversy Between
Goethals and Denman.

The entire shipbuilding plan Of the
Government. as well as the requist-
tioning OF ships, has been temporarily
suspended. No contracts were let
yesterday for ship construction or
building Of plants for construction
Of steel ships.
Gen. George W. Goethals, general
manager Of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. apparently has.realiZed that
his announcement OF a definite policy
for building ships and Government
plants was premature. How long the
delay will last could not be learned.
either from officials of the Shipping
Board or from Gen. Goethals' once.
Gen. Goethals refused to discuss the
matter.
Persons in close touch with Gen.
Goethals asserted that a request for
delay had been received from Chair
man William Denman of the Ship
ping Board. Chairman Denman denied
there had been any request for de-
70 lay. and stated his only communica-
ton with Gen. Goethals had con-
sisted in a request for further informa-
ton concerning the program announ-
ced last week by the Fleet Corpora
tion manager.
In statement late yesterday, Chair
man Denman declared the length OF
the delay rested with Gen. Goethals.
and added that there was no in
tention upon his part or on the part
Of the Shipping Board to delay the
shipbuilding program.
what we want Is the speedy con-
struction Of vessels" stated Chair
man Denman- Every days delay
now will mean double delay later"
stated Gen. Goethals in his announce
n1ent Of shipbuilding program
Chairman Denman's statement fol-
lows:
I'VE requested Of Gen. Goethals
certain information concerning the
program for the expenditure Of $780,
ooo, 900 Of the peoples money for which
the Presidents order had made the
Emergency Fleet Corporation and
the Shipping Board responsible.
'If the project had reached the con-
dition OF preparedness which 1t has
been asserted 1t has reached. the in
formation could be furnished US in
two hours, or we could have been
told the information was not at hand.
when we do receive the informa-
ton In writing we will take up with
Gen Goethals the discussion of all
matters involved in the project Of
building ships. What we want is
the speedy construction OF vessels, a
reasonable price for steel and ship
fabrication and the detention of all
alien tonnage which may be neces-
sary to carry troops or supplies to
Europe II the submarine sinkings con-
tinue even two-thirds as great as
they have averaged for the i've

ARMY SCANDAL IN ENGLAND.
Mrs. William Corvallis West Censured
by Officials.

London, Jan. Am army scandal,
| involving the exercise OF influence over
| high officers by a prominent society
woman. is described in the report of a
court of inquiry issued last night, and
Mrs. CORVALLIS West, wife of Colonel
William Corvallis West and mother
of the Princess of Pless and Of the
Duchess of Westminster, Is officially
severely censured. wv.
The late Sir Arthur Basil Markham,
liberal member Of parliament for the
Mansfield division Of Nottinghamshire,
who died last August, demanded an
inquiry in the house Of commons into
this matter, and was seconded by Irish
members, who declared a young Irish
officers honor was involved. 1t has
since developed that the officer was
Lieutenant Patrick Barrett of the
Welsh Fusiliers.
According to a statement in the
house of commons before recess, he
was completely eXonerated, his COM
manding officer, Lieutenant Colonel
Define Radcliffe. was removed from
his command and General Sir John
Cowans was censured, but was return
ed because of his good work. General
Owen Thomas, who also was concern
ed, was indicated.
Barrett was a sergeant in the Welsh
Fusiliers. Colonel Define Radcliffe and
other officers recommended him for
commission late in 1915 and his claims
were supported by Colonel and Mrs.
Cornwallis-West and several prominent
civilians.
probably before this time and GER
tainly later" says the report, Mrs.
Corvallis West began to take more
than an ordinary interest in Mr.. Bar
rett. to which he consistently failed to
respond. Eventually he wrote her in
February last letter of remonstrance,
which she placed in the hands of his
commanding officers"
Barrett was severely censured by his
commander without the opportunity of
stating his case. Soon after that he
was transferred to another battalion
on the demands Of Mrs. Corvallis
West.
General Cowans, who aided the Corn
wallis Vests in securing Rarrett's
transfer is censured for interfering
with discipline. General w. H. Mac
knnon, who also was concerned in the
correspondence, is criticised for inter-
fering with the affairs Of the western
command, but is not disciplined, be-
cause he has since retired.

Hog Market Healthy.

Hogs are selling well above a year
ago. but it is costing the farmer more
to feed them at this time because OF
the high price Of corn.
The packers are making claims OF
losing around 100 per hog in the cut
ting up process. They are saying
nothing about the big profits derived
from the by-products.
Some of the buyers are talking 9.Ia
top before the end of January, but
sellers expect the top to remain above
1925
PackersgeXpect to break prices in the
near future. SO that when the early
spring rise comes it will not carry
values 'skyward."
The producer is not worrying about
the future market. as he expects good
prices to prevail all year.
The stocks of meat at present are
large. but there is a broad demand fol
product. and now that the surplus OF
the crop has been marketed, buyers
may have access to much smaller re-
ceipts than expected.
Many we'll posted traders expect the
top to climb to 100 before it hits $50
because the bulk of the holdings are
in strong hands and feast and fam
inc" supplies are improbable.
The inability of shippers to get cars
is a factor to be reckoned with and the
broad eastern demand for offerings
will act against the packers in any
attempt they may make at bearish-
ness.
Sudden termination of the European
struggle, of course. will have consid l.
cradle influence on the market, pu'
many think that peace has been partly
discounted already. Sc
Even though a break in prices may
come, II will not be severe, as packers
do not care to cause a let-up IN pro-
duction. Then there is the high prices
of other commodities, which should
act as prop to the hog market
