Secretary of Navy Declares He
Had No Thought of Industrial
Workers in Speech.

SEATTLE, July 10. Rioting,
which began last night as the result
Of an encounter between sailors from
United States warships in the harbor
and members of the Industrial Work
ers Of the World, continued through
out the day and night.
Mayor George S. Cotterill this aft
ernoon declared the city under mar
tial law and ordered saloons closed,
and notified the management of The
Seattle Times that all It's editions
would be suspended unless proofs
first were submitted to him.
Colonel Alden c. Blethen, publisher
of The Times, upon receipt of the
Mayors orders, appeared before Judge
Humphreys, of the Superior Court,
and obtained an injunction restrain
ing the Mayor and Chief of Police
from interfering with the publication
of the paper. The Mayor refused TO
recognize the authority of the court
until he had been called before Judge
HUMPHREYS and warned that he would
be sent to jail unless he obeyed the
courts mandate.

Times melted the riot by publishing
a garbled account of the speech Of
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, in
which it was made to appear that the
Secretary expressed himself as be-
ing in favor of expelling members Of
the l. w. w. from the country.
Late this afternoon Judge Hum
phries issued a second order notify
ing saloon men that they might open
their places of business without dan
ger of interference from the police.
Shore Permits Refused.
Commanders of the warships in
the harbor withdrew all shore leaves
and refused to issue shore permits
to the sailors.
From National Park Inn, Secretary
Daniels sent this telegram regarding
his speech:
THE reference l made to the flag
and my statement that the red flag
meant danger was the same as orig
inally made by me at a banquet Of
Railroad Mems Y. NJ. c. A. at Dash

ditions in Seattle.

press, as the bulwarks Of our hber-
ty. Every evil that exists or that
threatens our country can be right
ed by appeal to the judgment Of the
American people. The weapon is the
ballot. The man who resorts to vio-
Ience to redress evil is bringing more
evil into existence than he can hope
to cure by violence.

respect for the flag must precede any

Of securing real relief from conditions
