A TIME FUSE WAS
 CONNECTED WITH BOMB
That Blew Up Powder Magazine at
 Mare Island Navy Yard.

Washington, Aug. 14-The Navy league. in a statement here today, says in has information it considers relia- ble. that a time fuse was connected with the black powder magazine at Mare Island navy yard which exploded July g, killing five and lnJur1ng thirty one The leagues informant, the state ment says, fears that vigorous lnvesta- gation has been hampered through 1n- ffuence of powerful labor interests.
 The Navy league in it's statement. which is remarkable in many respects, says it's informant contends that the discovery of the fuse g1veS evidence Of a criminal conspiracy.
 The navy department has made no announcement further than that an in- vestigation was being made. The name of the leagues informant is withheld, whose daily work would place him in a position to know the facts,' and continues:
 The Navy league has no means of conclusively determining the accuracy of the statements made in this letter. but it has given very careful consid- eration to the seriousness of the charges it con ntains and would not give currency to theR if it did not have confidence in the source of. it's informa- ton, it's general reliability and its po- sition to learn the facts stated. .
 Tt is clearly proper that investiga- ton into such an occurrence as the Mare Island explosion must and should be made secretly, and the league real zes that the mere circumstance that no statements have been made to the press regarding the progress of an in vestigation does not warrant the as sumption that mo proper investigation is being made.
 "On the other hand, the fact must be faced that a government depart ment could employ this veil of proper secrecy to hide the fact that the in- vestigation had been blocked. The press and public would assume that silence on the pSrt of government au- thorities about the matter was simply due to the desire to press the investi- eation more effectively without him drance from premature publicity.
 Tt is therefore extremely diff cult matter to determine satisfactorily, by the customary inquiries, whether such investigation is proceeding or has been blocked. The league Is in- formed by a man who is In a position to know that in this instance the in vestigation has been blocked. It is urged furthermore that publicity is the only measure that can end this block and force action.
 The league sincerely hopes that in giving publicity to this information it is serving the higher public interest which is its one and only purpose
