you as I do, I am certain that you take this view, and that you will take whatever Steps may be neces- sary to prevent any repetition or the absurd miscarriage of justice which resulted in the reasonable orators going free and the man who protested against their trea- sonable utterances being arrested. We are in this war to a finish, and the man is a traitor to this nation who directly or indirectly upholds Germany or attacks any of our allies while this war is pending. The newspaper that follows such a course should be promptly sup pressed by the national govern ment. and any failure so to SUD- press such a newspaper is a dere- fiction of duty. The street orator who takes such course is preaching sedition and the police should take summary action about it.
 With very hearty good wishes, faithfully your,

DANIELS HITS AT THE NAVY LEAGUE
Members Not Allowed to Visit
 Stations or Present Gifts

Washington, Aug. 18.-Secretary Daniels announced last night that he had issued orders barring officers, agents, or representatives of the Navy league from any naval station, naval reservation, or ship in the navy. The secretary also announced that until the Navy league had "purged itself'' of its present managing officers the navy would receive no contributions of any sort-not even a postage stamp from that organization. If mem bers of the Navy league are desirous of making contributions to men in the navy. Mr. Daniels said they would have to contribute through other channels than the Navy league. Secretary Daniels action followed the action of responsible representa- tives of the league several days ago in offices for publication a statement in- timating that the navy department ! had blocked a thorough investigation into the explosion which wrecked the black powder magazine at the Mare Island Navy Yard in July, killing five and wounding many other persons. i It was alleged in this statement that time fuse had been found, and that a real investigation had been blocked i in the interests of labor.
 1 Secretary Daniels challenged the | correctness of this statement and called on Colonel Robert M. Thomp- son of New York and Washington to resign as president of the league. l Colonel Thompson wrote a letter to Secretary Daniels, and said that as a sporting proposition he would resign if Secretary Daniels would do like wise. This letter was received by the secretary this afternoon. A little later he issued this statement:
 Navy Department, Washington
 Aug, IT, 1917.
 To the Public:
 ! Tn view of the slanderous and false statement of the Navy League, refecting upon the hon. esty of the naval administration ! and the integrity of officers of the
 navy for which responsibility is
 accepted by its officials, notice is
 hereby given to the public that the Navy Department has di-
 rected that no officer. agent or
 League will be admitted to any naval reservation, or ship in the
 Navy.
 Persons, who contribute to the Navy League in the future will do
 so with the understanding that the Navy department will not
 permit the acceptance of any,

thing whatever from that organi- zation as at present ofhcered and managed.

managed.
 JOSEPHUS DANIELS
 Secretary Daniels reiterated his as- sertion that the statements contained in the Navy leagues circular, intima- ting that the investigation had been blocked, were false and slanderous. He said that the Navy dtpartment had ordered the most rigid investiga- ton to- be made into the Mare Island accident, and that it had even gone to the extent of employing private de- tectives to work on the case-some- thing that was not usually done by the department. The investigation, he said, had been made under the direc- ton of Captain George. in charge of Navy yard at Mare Island, whose re- port is on it's way to Washington, having been. mailed on Wednesday. Secretary Daniels said that no sum- mary of this report had been tele- graphed, and that he did not know what it's character would be.
 In his conference with newspaper men the secretary asserted that the Navy league could not call itself the Navy league so long as it retained it's present officers.
 Tt may call itself," he added, "the Anti-Navy league, the Thompson league or whatevtr else it pleases.
 So long as the present officers were in charge of the league, Mr. Daniels said, the league could have nothing to do with the navy, and the navy would have nothing to do with the league until it had "purged" itself.

|OPE MINE FOUND
 IN DOCTORS OFFICE
en and Women Of Wealth
 Caught in Trap

New York, Aug. 18.-In the ar
 ignment yesterday of Dr. Edwin E. Ardner. of 245 West Fifty-f first street
 fore United States Commissioner on
 charge of violating a section of the
 deral statutes relating to the sale of kbit-forning drugs. Secret service kents revealed the story of a raid on
 b offices of the physician the pre-
 ding evening during which 124 men Sd women were caught. pr. Gard
 ' was held in s1O,OO0 bail for a |rther hearing
 All walks of life were represented
 the men and women found in Dr. krdner's office. Some of them were
 tors and actresses, some lawyers
 Ia business men. One of them wore
 welry said to be worth $20,OO0, al!
 which she offered Secret Service
 en if they would not take her name. kcause no charges were made
 ainst the men and women who ere in the office Edwin M. Stanton, |sistant United States attorney in barge of the case, refused to reveal keir names Some of them may be
 fced, however, to testify when the hysician's case is called in court.
 Complaints were made to Richard hncy, of the Secret Service, who is ead of the so-called flying squad- bn'' which is waging a campaign kainst the violators of the anti Arcotic law against Dr. Gardner bveral weeks ago. Since that time has been under surveillance.
 MT. Yancey and four other agents alked into pr. Gardner's office a few kinutes before o'clock Thursday aft moon and took possession. They }aited a few minutes and the "pa- ents' began to arrive. As each per In entered the secret service men bok him or her in custody and took heir names and addresses. The Wom- n became hysterical, while some of he men ran for the windows. Only ne of them, however, escaped, and Ie was a one-legged man.
 MT. Yancey said he found in Dr. kardner's records a list of 425 men Ind women, who, it is alleged, are .srug addicts. It is said that they have Obtained heroin, cocaine and morphine through pr. Gardner's prescriptions Other names in the records indicated hat many of the patients were onl. occasional users of the drugs.
 The patients were much relieved when MT. Yancey told them the, would not be arrested. Several Of tn women pleaded that their names b. kept secret. Many of them were sub ooenaed to the Feredal Building yes (terday to see MT. Stanton.
 pr. Gardner contends that his prat (tice is legitimate. He says that tn law allows him to prescribe opiates t |persons seeking to be cured of tn drug habit He says that in ever case where he prescribed drugs tn patient was undergoing curativ treatment. The government, on tn other hand, contends that the pro .scriptions were not made in good fait but solely to supply narcotics to dru addicts. Dr. Gardner has been pros' cuted twice in state courts, but eac time he has been acquitted.

SEELYE MAY BE MAN.
City Clerk A. l.. Thompson Won't
 Admit it., Nor Will He Deny It.

There is said to be a strong pos sibility that Clarence Seelye, former paymaster at the P. & F. Corbin fac tory, may be appointed by City Clerk A. l.. Thompson to succeed Harry A. Hargreaves as deputy city clerk. When asked this morning if such was the case the city clerk would neither deny nor affirm the report. "I guess MT. Seeyle would be a pretty capable man, but I do not want to say he is the man I am considering-nor do I care to deny it."
 Col. Thompson did however, deny a current report that he was planning to appoint as his deputy his nephew Alfred N Thompson.
