investigation of the fatal black powder
magazine explosion at the Mare Island
navy yard, July 8, was followed to-
night by letter from Secretary Dan

of the league, denouncing the state
ment as false and slanderouS and de-
claring the best service Mr. Thomp-
son and other active officials of his
organization can render the navy is to
resign at once.
In its statement the league said it
Rad reliable information that the ex-
plosion, which killed five men and in
jured thirty-one, was set off by time
fuse. giving evidence of a criminal
conspiracy. The information was
made pIbiic, II is said, because it had
been urged that publicity was the only
measure that could force action.
Secretary Daniels. in statement
made public with the letter to Colonel
Thompson, said a board appointed by
the commandant of the navy yard was
actively pursuing a full investigation
of the explosion; that 1t had been af-
forded ample funds and the full re-
sources of the government and had
not been hampered in any way by SUP
Elementary instructions from the navy
department. 1t had been current ru-

exploded by maliciously placed time

Trained from making any statement
concerning il until it was in possession
of the full facts.
The navy league is civilian organ
iZation formed some twelve years ago
to work for bigger and better navy.
Among its members are many retired
naval officers, but no one on the active
list is connected with it. Mr.. Thomp-
son, president for a number of years,
is financier of prominence who was
graduated at Annapolis and attained
the rank of master in the navy before
resigning in 1871.
Since Secretary Daniels took office
the league has vigorously attacked
him and his policies.

Naught of sorrow, naught of sadness
Just behind the falls-selected

With their music, with their measure.

Happy hearts to God are calling.

That we may discern to sever
