son and incidentally some caustic OBJ,
servations on that incident and the
controversies among the naval officers
and their adherents as to details OF
naval construction and methods OF
training were made known yesterday
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
press two letters from the president
addressed to him on these subjects.
Unseemly and Improper.
In the first of these letters Prest
dent Roosevelt without mincing words
condemns In unmeasured terms. the
act Of Admiral Brownson, declaring it
to be unseomly and improper. The
question as to which Admiral Brown
son took issue with the navy depart
ment, the president declares, is one
to which there can be entirely legiti
mate differences Of opinion, but he
adds: There is no room for, differ
ence of opinion as to the gross impro.
priety of the admiral's conduct in re

ders of his superior officer in such q
matter.

BILE to permit either their personal
pique, wounded vanity or factional
feeling on behalf of some particular
bureau or organization to render them

Regarding the controversies in the
navy, the president admits there al.

department and in the actual drill Of

It is well, he says, that these de.

that they should be pointed out with.

cious untruthfulness. He scathingly
rebukes those guilty of exploiting
them in grossly exaggerated form in
the fancied interest Of an individual
or clique of individuals, or for the
sake of supplying sensational material
to newspapers.
Worked Without Hitch,
The presidents second letter to Mr..
Metcalf is an argument to sustain hts
decision to assign medical officers to
the command of hospital ships. "Hos.
pital ships should be maintained in
peace exactly under the same condi.
lions as in time of war;" declares the
president. "The system has been tried
in the army and tried in foreign ma,
vies and has worked without hitch"

The landlord was h6oted and jeered
by the tenants and other strikers,
who were holding mass meeting in
the house, and he called the police.
The striking tenants resented the ap.
pearance of the officers, and in the
clash that followed the reserves used
thir night sticks vigorously. Five pro.
testing tenants, somewhat battered,
were arrested.
Hardly had order been restored at
this point when the police reserves
were hurried to East Twelfth street,
where striking tenants were making
a demonstration against landlord
who had objected to the flying Of red
flags over his property.
Women Take Part.
The crowd failed to obey the police
order to dispense and were set upon
with night sticks. One woman was
rendered insensible during the fight,
in which wives and daughters, as well
as fathers and sons, participated.
There were several other outbreaks
which were checked by the police, and
all during the day the teeming East
side swarmed into the streets and
held impromptu meetings.
Movement Spreading.
Several mass meetings were held
last night by the strikers. It was an.
