EXPLANATION
OF TROUBLE ON
SHIP Is. ASKED
One Report Says incident
Caused by Dispute Over
Music by jazz Band

London, March 17-(AP)-A dis
pute over music by a jazz band 70,
an admiral's dance is said in naval
circles to have caused the inciden,
aboard the battleship Royal Oak be.
cause Of which three officers were
suspended, and newspapers today
were clamoring for the admiralty to
explain.
The papers criticised the admir-.
atty, saying the incident happened
nearly q week ago and that the naval
heads should be fully informed by
now. The papers demanded that il
be cleared up quickly.
Rear Admiral Bernard st. G.. Col
lard, commanding the battleship
squadron at Malta, Captain Kenneth
G. b. Dewar, commanding the battle
ship Royal Oak, and Commander H.
N. Daniel, of the same ship, were
suspended. The admiralty said it
lacked information and could not ex-
plain the trouble, yet this story was
told in naval circles.
Admiral Plans Party
When the Royal Oak, the flagship,
arrived at Malta, Admiral Collard,
planned to stage q party and invited
the elite Of Malta.
The battleship's jazz band would
furnish the music, announced the ad-
miral.
It would not, said Captain Dewar.
Commander Daniel backed up his
captain.
He had no objections to dance
aboard the battleship, said. the cap
tain to the admiral in diplomatic
language, but If the admiral wanted
jazz he had better import q band
from the shore to pipe for his
dancing.
His boys had too much work to do
in the day, continued the captain, and
he did not propose to permit them to
stay up most Of the night for the
amusement Of the ships guests
even If the admiral gave the dance.
In the meantime contradictory re-
ports were current in both London
and Malta.

APPOINT MENT
OF JOHN ]. ESCH
Is REJECTED
Southern Soft Coal States Sue.
cessful In Defeating Wis.
c0nsin Man

Warrington, March 17.-(AP)-
Defeated in their fight before the
interstate commerce commission for
low freight rates on lake cargo
coa, the states in the southern soft
coal region have retaliated by wag-
ing q successful drive against con-
firmation Of John ]. Esch Of Wis
consin, for q second term on the
railroad regulating body.
Esch, who had served on the COM
mission for six years prior to his
denomination by President Coolidge
last December, lost his fight for
confirmation late yesterday when
the senate, after five hours Of de.
bate behind closed doors. rejected
the appointment, 80 to 20.
The opposition, led by senators
from the southern coal states, was
based almost entirely on the g.
year-old commissioners change o1
attitude in the long contest between
the mines Of Pennsylvanai and Ohio
and those in West Virginia, Ken.
tucky, Tennessee, and Virginia, fol
the lake cargo trade, whereby he
favored, after once opposing. lower
rates for the northern fields.
The commission recently rejected
Z petition Of southern railroads fol
q 20 cents & ton reduction In laka
cargo coal TRANSPORTATION charges
and the issue Is under consideration
for possible court action.
Senator Neely Leads Fight
Senator Neely, Democrat, West
Virginia, who led the fight against
confirmation, charged Esch, who
also voted against the southern
roads cut proposal, had switched
his vote on the northern proposition
because Of pressure from Pennsyl-
vania and the administration.
Chairman Watson Of the inter-
state commerce committee, which
had reported adversely on the nom-
ination. and Senator Fess, Rcpubli-
can, Ohio, supported Esch. calling
attention to his emphatic denial at
the committee hearings that political
pressure had caused him to change
his vote.
Each, who had been serving under
. recess appointment since his first
term expired three months ago, IS
co-author Of the Esch- -Cummins rail
road act. Before going on the COM
mission he served 22 years as .
member Of the house and 18 years
on its interstate and foreign COM
merce committee.
