INFORMATION FOR THE
MAYOR
QJATUriDAY the Mayor was amain to
learn that tha P. It. T. was a party to
the co-operative agreement of May, 1014.
"Director Twining 'told me," ho explained,
"that the letter was Just a sort of stato
merit prepared by an executive commit
tee and that it died right thcro. I never
believed that there was any letter In ex
istence that was binding on tho Itapld
Transit Company.''
nut, apparently being absolutely deter
mined to have It that tho company 1
not bound in nny way, the Mayor In thl
morning's Pubtla Ledger Intimates that
tho agreement docs not amount to any
thing anyway, because "wo havo decided
to build more 'lines."
Wo do not wish tho Mayor to bo mis
informed again on a matter of such vital
Importance. Wo quote,1 therefore, for
his Information and that of tho general
public tho second paragraph of section 0
of the co-operatlvo ngrcoment, which ap
pears under tho caption "I'uturo High
speed Line-":
City to liao tho right to require
.ainn,-iuy to equip and operate, mi the
abot o baslH additional rapid tr.uiMt
linn or oxlrmlons uhlrlt tho oily
l i.iy from llmo to time build,
it would not do for both tho Maor
and the Director of City Transit to con.
tlnue to bo Ignorant of tho cxlotonco of
tho vital assets which havo been placed
In their hands to administer.
TOO I'KOUD TO FIGHT?
THE campaign entered on Its last stage,
on Saturday, when speeches wcro
made by tho President, a former Presi
dent nnd the next President.
Tho Itcpubllcan attack has gained forco
and vigor with tho passing weeks. Tho
Democratic demand that tho opposition
dovoto Itself to telling what It would
do has not diverted the leaders from their
course. Tho country knows by their
past achievements what tho Itepubllcans
will do when they nro returned to power.
It knows what tho Democracy has dono.
and It Is not satisfied. Tho destructive
criticism to which tho course of tho Ad
ministration has been subjected has al
ready demoralized tho big as well as tho
llttla Democrats.
Mr. Hughes was most happy la his
nuffalo speech in his arrntgnment of tho
Administration's parochial nttltiulo to
ward tho duty of protecting Americans
and American trada abroad. Tho Admin
titration began by a policy of scuttle In
Chlnawhcn it refused to assure to tho
American bankerH interested In tho bIx
Power loan that they could count on tho
protection of tho Government, and that
policy has been continued In Mexico nnd
on the high seas. Tho Administration has
actod as though men lntciestcd In foreign
Investments woro traitors to their coun
try and deserved no consideration;
whorcas, as a matter of fact, no nation
has ever been able to build up a great
foreign trade In time of peace until tho
foundations for that trade had been
laid by Its Investors, who financed tho
enterprises of the countries with which
they did business. So far has tho
Democracy been from appreciating this
fundamental fact that It has made the
diplomatic service, especially In Latin
America, tho plaything of spoils politics.
Colonel Roosevelt's Battlo Creek speech
was tho most sevcro arraignment of the
Incompetency of tho Administration that
has yet been made. It convicted the
President of Inconsistencies so glaring
that oven his most ardent defenders will
be put to It to find any excuses for him.
His Mexican professions do not ugreo
with his Peruvian practices. His atti
tude on preparedness has changed with
each chango of tho wind, and his manly,
vigorous languago in tho submarlno notes
has been contradicted by his failure tn
translato Ills words Into nctB. Ho has
crumpled, says Mr. Itoosevelt, In the face
of every foreign crisis that has con
fronted htm,
Mr. Wilson, whoso speeches aro usually
shrewdly phrased and plausible, delivered
himself of remarks at Long Uranch which
reminded one of Mr. Bryan at his worst.
There was the same appeal to hostility to
csted Intorests on which Mr. Bryan
rang the changes in 1890, and thero was
the same sophistical reasoning about the
attitude of the Republicans toward war
that Mr. Bryan used In talking of the
Republican position on sound money. He
sold that the alternative to peace is war,
and therefore tho Itepubllcans who oppose
peace ho did not nay his kind of peace
want war, and the certain prospect of Be
publican success la that wo shall be
drawn Into the embroilments of the Euro
pean conflict The dilemma, he states, Is
an imaginary dilemma. There Is peace
With dishonor, and there is peace with

Sir Reference Is made to tho seventh
column, page 1, of tho Night Kxtrn. Finan
cial IMltlon, I:vesino Lkoocr, under cap
tion, "Portunes Aro Made In 'Dope' by
Smugglers."
There appears under subcaptlon, Artlclo
III, nn artlclo supposedly written by Mr.
Henry James Huxton In which henccues
offlcr of tho United Statot Nny of being
guilty of smuggling nnrcotic drugs.
I shall bo pleased It you can glvo mo
any Information on this subject.
Respectfully yours,

Rear Admiral. U. S. Navy, Commanding
Submarine force, Atlantic Fleet.
Hear .Admiral A. W. Orant,
U. 8. 8, Columbia, Navy Yard, Philadel
phia, Pa.
September 9, 191C.
Sir In the third of tho articles by
Mr. Henry James Huxton, which nppeared
In nil editions of tho Evenino Lcuoeh on
September 7, was Included tho following:
Tho smugglers Include business men
of light scruples who nrn not nere to
making a little "side money" while on
trips to Canada and Mexico; sailors,
stewards and oDlccrs on coastwise nnd
transatlantic liners, and ecn officers
of tho United States Navy.
Mr. Huxton obtained his Information from
nn officer of the United States Go eminent.
This ofllcer was engaged in tho prevention
of smuggling Ono of the most Important
cases nssigned to him lnolved an attempt
to smuggle "dope" through Port Richmond,
the enterprise being, so ho reported, under
the clandestine direction of a certain ofllcer
In tho United Stntcs Navy.
We havo no reason to suppose that naval
officers In general are engaged In smuggling
narcotics Into the country. It was not the
purpose of our artlclo to glvo such an im
pression. The Information In our posses
sion, however. Indicated that tho fise of
drugs corrupted and demoralized persons
in the highest walks of lite, even naval
olllcers sometimes being tha victims.
Very truly yours.

DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
WASHINGTON
September 28. 1916.
TA Bdlfor of the Evening Ledger:
Kir Tills department's attention has been
railed to an article "Ily Henry James Dux
ton," which appeared In the Financial Ed
ition, Night Extra, Evenino i.EDocn, or
September 7, 1918, headed, "Fortunes Are
Made In 'Dope' by Smugglers." in which the
following statement appeared.
Two or three hundred persons are
engaged directly and Indirectly In these
smuggling plots, according to Joseph
F. McDuvltt. a deputy Internal revenue
collector. The smugglers Include busi
ness men of light scruples, who are
not averse to making a little "side
money" while on trips to Canada and
Mexico; sailors, stewards and omcrrs
on coastwise and transatlantic liners,
and even officers in the United States
Navy,
Upon this matter being called to the at
tention of the collector of internal revenue
for the First District of Pennsylvania by
Rear Admiral A. W. Orant, United States
Navy, commanding submarine force. At
lantlo fleet, and Information requested
which Mr McDevltt, who Is quoted In said
article as Its authority for the above state
ment, may have on the subject, the col
lector replied as follows:
I have the honor to acknowledge re,
celpt of your letter of September 7,
11. a. B.. In which you direct my at
tention to an article which appeared In
tho Evbvivo Lrnann recently, being
tho third of a series by Henry J. Huxton,
In which this stntement Is made.
You wrlto Inquiring ns to any In
formation Mr. McDevItt may hae con
cerning tho smuggling referred to by
olllcers of the United States Nay I
!iao taken thin matter up with Mr.
McDcvltt. who In n careful and re
liable olllccr. and ho informs mo that
lie nccr mnilo any statement that
omcers of the United States Navy had
engaged In tho smuggling of narcotic
drufjs, nor had ho made any state
ment from which such an Inference
could hne been deduced.
If there Is nny further Information
that I can glvo you In reference, to this
matter, I shall bo pleased to do so.
Tho nbovo quoted letter is dated Phila
delphia, Pa, September 11. 1916, and
sinned "Ephralm Ledcrer, Collector."
It nppears from the foregoing that Joseph
F. McDevItt denies having "made nny state
ment that oincers of the United States
Navy had engaged In tho smuggling of
narcotic drugs," or having "made any state
ment from which such pn Inference could
havo been deduced," nnd, therefore, that
tho cry serious charge nppearlng In your
Issue of September 7, 1910. against "omcers
of tho United States Navy" Is not sub
stantlatcd by the nlleged authority therefor.
In view of tho nboe I hae to request
that ou publish In your paper tho above
quoted letter from tho collector of Internal
recnuo, with appropriate retraction of tho
unwarranted charge against omcers of tho
United States Navy, to the end thnt the
mntter may bo properly brought before tho
public and correct any mistaken Impression
which Bald nrtlclo mny have left In the
minds of Its readers.
Very respectfully,
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
Acting Secretary of tho Navy.
Mr. FranUin D. Jlooaeveli,
Acting Secretary of the Navy,
ll'asAirtfllon, V. O.
September 28, 1916.
Sir Wo beg to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of September 26.
The Information on which this newspaper
based Its reference In tho article printed
In tho lasuo of September 7 did not come
from Mr. Joseph F. McDevttt. Wo aro
ablo to Inform you that Mr. McDcvltt never
nt nny time, either directly or Indirectly,
gave us any Information whatever to the
effect that olllcers of the United States Navy
engaged In the smuggling of narcotic drugs.
Wo do not feel that we are privileged
to divulge the name of our Informant It
Is fp.lr to state, howeter, that he Informed
us of only ono case of drug smuggling In
which a naal ofllcer was Invoked. Our
Informant was assigned by the Government
to solze the shipment and arrest tha smug,
glers Unfortunately, according to our In
formation, tho smugglers were aware of the
effort being Inade to capture them, changed
their plans and escaped.
Since the ofllcer suspected was not cap.
tured, tried of convicted, It is clear that the
reference In our artlclo of September 7 was
unfortunately phrased. It would more
properly hao read, "and even an officer of
the United States Navy has been suspected
of taking part In such smuggling "
It was not the purpose of this news
paper to glvo the Impression that naval
officers In general are engaged In smuggling
nsreotia drugs. It was our purpose to show
that the evil Is so Insidious that it corrupts
the high as well as the low, as the para
graph td which you take exception plainly
shows. While, therefore, we do not feel
tha,t our Investigator went beyond the facts
In his possession, we are confident that
It Is fair and proper to publish the entire
correspondence in this case, with the view
of correcting any false Impression which
may have been given by the article in
question. This publication will be made In
our Issues of October 2.
Respectfully,
