DANIELS ACCUSES
 NAVY LEAGUE HEAD
Asks President and Other Active
 Officers of Organization

Washington, Aug. 15.-Mr. Daniels, secretary of the navy. last night de- manded the resignation of Colonel Robert M. Thompson, president Of the Navy League and other active officials of the league, charging that they were responsible for false and slanderous" statement regarding the navy departments investigation of the navy yard. The leagues statement intimated that the off1ical inquiry had been "blocked" by outside labor in- fluence.
 Tho Navy League announced that it had received communication from an official source" stating that a time fuse was connected with the black powder magazine at Mare Island navy yard which exploded on July g last, causing the deaths of five persons and the injury of thirtyone. The discovery of this fuse, contends the leagues informant, proves con- clusively that the explosion was the result of criminal conspiracy.
 "The navy department" say the communication to the Navy League, ''has positive knowledge of the exist ence of this time fuse. Fear is ex- pressed that vigorous investigation of the case has been hannpered or pre- vented because of influence exerted by powerful labor interests
 Investigation Not Ended.
 Asked about the Navy Leagues statement, Secretary Daniels said:
 Immediately upon receipt of the report of the explosion of the Mare Island powder magazine the con- mandant of the navy yard was direct ed to institute an immediate, full and detailed investigation of the circum- stances attending the explosion and to fix the cause and responsibility for the same.
 "The board appointed by the com- mandant of the Mare Island navy yard has actively pursued this inves- tigation, but it's report has not yet been received in the navy depart ment
 e "The board in carrying out its work has in no way whatever been ham pered., or restricted by any supple mental instructions from the navy department, but has been afforded ample funds and the full resources of

the government in carrying out its thorough investigation.
 While 1t has been current rurnor that this magazine was exploded by time fuse or other device malicious ly placed by parties unknown to the naval authorities, the department in this case, as in all other cases has refra1ned from issuing any statement until 1t was in possession of all the facts. No statement will be made until the full report has been re- ceived.
 'The attention of the public is in- vited to the deliberate attempt of the responsible agent of the navy league to publish statement which, even if true, should not have been given out without reference to the department Inasmuch as it Is false, the action in giving 1t circulation shows a malicious attempt to discredtt the navy depart ment and the capable officers who are doing everything possible to ferret out the cause of the accident and obtain evidence that would fix the respinsi- bility. If I were to state to the pub lie all the steps that the officers charged with this duty have taken and are taking the people would despise the slanderers who attempted to i'm pugn their honesty and sincerity.
 ''The false suggestion that any &C., tion or lack of action has been due to the navy departments attitude to- ward labor is too contemptible to de- serve notice.'
 Letter to Mir. Thompson.
 Secretary Daniels tonight sent this letter to Colonel Thompson, president of the navy league:
 August IA, 1917
 Dear Sir:-Some time ago you called at the navy department and stated that you wished the navy league to be in thorough harmony with the navy department, and that if thought that your continuance and the continuance of MT. Staton as sec retary would make it impossible for the navy league to help the navy you would both retire and would be pleased to have me suggest officers who would work in harmony with the department. Although certain mem- bers of the navy league had for years been unfair in their criticisms knew that the bulk of it's membership was composed of patriotic citizens who had no part or lot in such ue of the league. You will recall that told you ct the time that the nevy league was a purely voluntary organization, had no connection whatever with the navy department, and that while I had not been in accord with some things the navy league had done I did not desire to have and direction of the league or make any statement with reference to who should be it's officers.
 ''In view, however, of the false and slanderous statement given out today by the navy league, I am writing to you to say that the chief service which you and the other active off, cials of the navy league can render

REGISTRATIONS
SUCCESSFULLY
CONDUCTED

A report came from one precinct
that due to fear of being called into
war service, they were all sick. Too
sick to even cook for their old man.
These colored women weighed from
135 >. IT'S pounds. Their weak
ness was all caused by being too
strong.
There is also a report of little
incident at Lacombe that shows that
perhaps a deputy sheriff might have
been needed in one precinct. But
it would not do to spoil the theory
that women can do these things
without a rifle in the clear water, so
we just hold our breath.

That they should be taken to the city

WAGE BILL FATE
STILL IN DOUBT

Whether the women's minimum wage
bill, passed at the last session of the
legislature is a law or is to be referred
to the people in a referendum is still
undecided and will not be known def
initely until tonight. The employees in
the office of Secretary of State Osborn
have been very busy checking up the
signatures on the referendum petitions
and those of the affidavits requesting
that their names be taken off the pc
titions; that they are there without
consent.
According to the decision of the sec
rotary of state, Monday was the last
day on which would be received re-
quests for withdrawal of names from
referendum petitions. A total of $3.50
names werei filed in referendum petit
tons on the minimum wage BILL nearly
700 more than necessary, but more than
500 requests for withdrawal of names
were also received, and these are being
checked up.

There seems little possibility that the

early hearing before the grand jury
according to a statement issued by

II was rumored yesterday that a spe-

called to dispose of these and other

ney Flynn is concerned, he has no
knowledge of a movement being on foot
for calling a special session. The fed

power to call special session of the
grand jury and no word has yet been
received from him relative to the mat :
