family moved to Buckingham palace,

court still resides at the squat and
ugly edifice of st. James, and levees

WITH SHIP CHAIRMAN

Washington, July 10.-President
Wilson may be called upon to settle
another controversy over war orders
and conflicting authority involving
Chairman Denman of the Shipping
Board and Secretary Daniels, Mr..
Denman's erstwhile ally against Maj
Gen. Goethals in the trouble over steel
prices.
This time it is the Secretary of the
Navy who wants to pay prices which,
in Mr.. Denman's opinion, are exor-
bitant The controversy has been the
subject of correspondence between the
Secretary and Mr.. Denman and has
been laid before the President.
For such ships as the navy takes over
by Communicating Secretary Daniels
proposes to pay $215 a ton dead
weight. For ships which the navy
wishes to charter for the duration OF
! the war the Secretary proposes to pay
! $3.50 dead weight ton per month.
| Chairman Denman insists that these
i prices are exorbitant and feels thai
such prices would set "a standard
which would initiate against bettel
rates for the government for such
shipping as later may be taken ovel
by the government.
