From The Tai5une's European Bureau

Copyright. 1921, New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, July 21.- Great Britain
cannot postpone action on her naval
building program until after the Wash
lngton disarmament conference, Pre-
mier Lloyd George told the House of
Commons to-day. He announced that
the government had decided to proceed
with the construction OF four capital
warships to replace obsolete types, as
provided for in the naval estimates re-
Gently approved by Parliament.
The Premier said he didn't see how
The Washington conference would affect
the construction OF these four ships.
He expressed belief that the disarma-
ment discussions in the American cap
ital in November would be a complete
success, but he felt that the English
government would be derelict in its
duty if it permitted the efficiency of
the admiralty to drop. Therefore, he
said, action on the contracts for the
construction of the new warships could
not be postponed. The battleships are
to cost a total OF s23,OO0,00O.
Far East Issues First
Lloyd George said that by going
ahead with the building of these ships
the government was not committing
itself to any other building program
He expressed belief that frank and
friendly discussion Of the question of
disarmament among the chief naval
powers might result an an understand
ing that would eliminate the competi-
tive building of wacships, but that
meanwhile the British Admiralty could
not halt operations.
The Premier refused to answer the
question whether the Washington con-
ference would result in limitation of
British naval expenditures.
Premier William M. Hughes of Aus
tralia, delineating the attitude Of his
armament in an address to-day before
the American Luncheon Club here, said
that there was no hope for the success
of President Harding's disarmament
conference unless the Pacific powers
could reach a prior agreement IS to
the respective rights in that ocean of
Japan, Great Britain and the United
States.
Premier Hughes, suggesting the slo-
gan of "a White Australia" as the
Monroe Doctrine of his land, pointed
out that it had vital interests at stake
in the Pacific.
League Is Called Dead
"This November conference Will sue
ceed only if it recognizes facts" he
said. WAR springs from clash of
conflicting interests, and there are
some interests so vital that they can
not be yielded except under the COM
pulsion of force.

Port Neglect
Shipping Commissioner Is
Taken From Post With
out Pay Pending Action
for Alleged Inef6ciency
Deputies Are Accused
Almost All of Subordinates
Said to Have Accepted
Gifts From Vessel Owners

Patrick H. Quinn, Shipping Commits
sioner for the port, has been suspended
without pay, according to an announce
ment made yesterday by c. H. Huston,
Assistant Secretary Of Commerce, pend
ing action upon charges of inehiciency
and neglect Of duty. Mr.. Quinn has
fifteen days in which to file his answer
to the charges. He refused last night
to discuss the matter.
The statement in which his suspen-
sion was announced makes public also
the fact that the Department of Com
merce has found that almost all Dep
uty Ship Commissioners have been in
the habit of accepting gratuities from
ship owners.
Statement of Case
The statement follows:
"The Department of Commerce has
been recently advised Of a custom or
practice of deputy shipping commits
sioners to accept gratuities from ship
owners when performing their official
duties. Secretary Hoover, on Wednes-
day, directed the Assistant Secretary
Of Commerce, c. H. Huston, to make
thorough investigation of the Ship
ping Commissioner, Patrick H. Quinn
and his deputies in charge of the Port
Of New York.
GAS result of this investigation
facts were developed that practically
all of the deputy shipping commission
ers were accepting gratuities from ship
owners in sums Of from IS to $40, and
that these gratuities were being pooled
and prorated weekly among the deputy
commissioners. The amounts received
by the deputy commissioners from this
their regular compensation from the
government.
Notice Served on Quinn
ain accordance with civil service rules
Mr.. Huston served notice upon the
United States Shipping Commissioner
Mr.. Quinn, Immediately suspending him
without pay and giving him period OF
fifteen days to answer the charge pre-
ferred against him, which was that OF

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

HACKENSACK, N. j.. July 21.-A
mass meeting has been called for to-
morrow night to protest against pro-
posal of the Board of Education of
Palisades Township, Bergen County
to name a new school being erected in
the Manor section after Baron Won
Steuben, German general, who aided
Washington in the Revolutionary War
and who was afterward given land
grants near Newbridge by Congress
in 1792.
1t is alleged that because majority
of the members of the Board of Educa-
ton are of German descent and live in
Peitzburg, always regarded as a Ger
man settlement, they have been infu-
enced to attempt comforting a German
name on the new school. Mayor Thomas
A. Yeardsley of the township last night
expressed astonishment that the board
had sufficient temerity to consider the
name of Won Steuben in view of the
recently concluded war against Ger
many. The Mayor said that II any

Won Steuben as School Name
Stirs Fierce Protest i'm JERSEY

board member we're rash enough TO
mention Won Steuben at the board
meeting to be held Saturday or at the
exercises in connection with the school
dedication there would be trouble.
Discussing the proposition of the
school board, the Rev. James Graham,
Hackensack pastor, said that there
were too many good Americans for
whom the school could be named to
render advisable the consideration of
a German name, no matter what its
historical association. James c. Mont
gomery, Clyde Bogert and Samuel
Richards represented Hackensack citi-
zens at the board meeting. They de-
nounce the plan of naming the school
for Won Stcuben.
F. J. Reid, township committeeman,
said tonight:
II do not believe the name Won
Steuben would inspire our children as
might such names as Washington,
Lincoln, Alexander Hamilton or Roose-
welt. | Nnust say do not comprehend
the motive of an American Board of
Education which proposes to attach a
German name to an American school
in view of recent history"

With the first thirty-six hole test

British triumph now rests upon the
slender shoulders of George Duncan,
the master artist from Hangar Hill.
Joe Kirkwood, the star Australian, is
twelve strokes back of Barnes, while
Abe Mitchell, the mighty clouter, has

So Duncan, six strokes back of the

SYRACUSE, July 21.-A sherif's
posse has cornered in a swamp north
of this city at least three of the five
bandits who last night held up and
robbed James A. Davis at Constantine,
n. Y, and later bound and gagged
Hampton Rich, a Watertown taxi
driver, whom they had hired to drive
them to Syracuse.
Rich escaped from the barn near
Sandy Greek, n. Y, where the bandits
had left him, and telephoned the SYRIA
cuse police, who met the speeding high
waymen on the outskirts of Cicero. A
battle ensued as the sheriff and his
deputies pursued the bandits. At
Morey's crossing, the car ahead struck
q huckster's wagon. is the bandits
crawled from the wreck, one of them
was snot down, but his companions
picked him up and dragged him into the
swamp by the roadside
The ammunition OF the sheriff's party
WAS soon exhausted and hurry call
was sent to Syracuse for reinforce
ments. Before these arrived two of
the bandits escaped. At least two of
the three men still in the swamp are
believed to be- wounded.

The shooting fatality at Keene, \.

accidental discharge of a shotgun in
the hands of his l2-year old stepson
serves as reminder that it is an
unwise thing to permit immature per-
sons to handle dangerous weapons. A
boy of ~ years is not, ordinarily, old
enough TO comprehend the danger Of
a weapon of that sort, and, therefore,
he is apt TO be careless in the man

The fatality should be of sufficient
warning to cause adults to prohibit
