And Mills remarked as to this:
Il said nothing | hadn't any money
to telephone the police
The idea Of elopement. said Mills, just
popped" into his head at the moment he
was talking to Mrs. Hail. He had not
thought of such thing before and be-

Harry B. Chambers Gives
Up School Board Office
Denies Act Follows Row Over
Naming McCooey's Sister
TO Important Post

Harry B. Chambers, a lawyer with
Offices in 1I5 Broadway, has sent
Mayor Hylan his resignation as vice
president Of the Board Of Education
and as a member Of the Teachers Re
tirement Board. The resignation be-
comes effective January /.
In his letter 20 the Mayor Mr.. Cham
bers explained that the work Of the
Board Of Education required more OF
his time and energy than he felt he
could spare from his law practice. He
was elected vice-president OF the board
last May, and has been chairman OF
the law committee. He Is the sole rep
resentative Of the Bronx on the board.
Mr.. Chambers denied yesterday there
was any truth in published stories
that his resignation followed q row he
had had with George j. Ryan, presi-
dent Of the board. One newspaper
article said a fight in the board was
precipitated by the desire Of certain
members TO name Miss Margaret J.
MeCooey principal Of School ~. and
q sister Of John II. MeCooey, Of Brook
lyn, to succeed the late Grace Straehan
Forsythe as associate superintendent
Of schools. Mr.. Chambers did not deny
that there is a plan to name Miss
Mccooey 10 this post, simply pointing
out: "If there had been a row should
have quit Immediately and not made
my resignation effective next month
He said Mayor Hylan had asked him
10 remain, but that he would not with
draw his resignation.

Copyright, is31. New York Tribune INC
LONDON, Dee. 1.-The British gov
ernment has decided TO lay down two
capital ships. as provided for In the
Washington naval treaty. Work on
these will be started Immediately.
announcement was made 10 the House
OF Commons by Premier Bonar Law
this afternoon.
The Premier definitely refused the
opportunity opened for discussion OF
tbs question by the new Parliament
Definite decision on the question was
reached by the late government and
House Of Commons. he said, and his
government, after reeonsideration OF
the matter, has decided that we have
no option but 10 cary out that de-
elsion." Even II the question we're DIS
cussed. the members would find II I'M
possible 20 delay construction beyond
this year. he added.
There has been keen controversy
over the building Of these two ships
since the government few days ago
promised that It's decision In the mat
ter would be announced shortly. A
good deal Of the opposition 10 their
being built seems based on misunder-
standinc. u has been contended that
placing orders for these ships would
be tantamount 20 embarking on a pro-
gran Of competitive naval eonstrue-
ton with the United States. The fact
Is. OF course. that the treaty provides
careful cquilibration Of scrappings
on a large scale. with requirements on
a much smaller scale, and that the two
ships are simply the compensation
thought suitable 20 Great Britain for
the dismantling Of not less than nine
teen Of her older vessels-most Of
which already are In process OF being
destroyed. Far from being Of COM
petitive nature, the two ships there
fore represent an agreed part OF the
non.competitive program.
II 10 another question, however.
whether or not IL is necessary 10 lay
them down at this time. Lord Lee,
former chief OF the Admiralty, who
was one Of the signatories 20 the
Washington treaty, has held all along
that the decision must be made either
70 begin work on the ships AZ once or
abandon the idea Of them altogether.
His argument is that Il was under
stood at Washington that no power
should be permitted 20 take advantage
OF q postponement in the building OF
the new ships allowed which might
enable them 70 incorporate improve
ments that would give them an advan-
tage over other signatOTies 10 the
treaty. Lord Salisbury, the present
head Of the Admiralty. is agreed that
the ships "must be begun, II begun al
all, this present year"
Bonar Laws statement in the House
to-day shows that this has been the
conclusive argument in deciding the
government 70 lay down the ships now.
Critics Of the new construction here,
however, contend that the coming into
force of the treaty is dependent on its
ratification BY all the contracting par
ties. and that, as France has neither
ratified Il, nor shown any immediate
intention of ratification, there Is no
real reason for urgency in reaching a
decision.
