TAMPICO SCUTTLE : A CRAVEN AFFAIR, SAYS R00SEVEI.1 Constituted So Grave an Offenn Against the Nation's Honor and Duty That the Man Responsible Should Be Removed From Office. ; j WILSON CANNOT SHIELD HIMSELF BEHIND DANIELS . .... i

Authentic Proof Th«t Americans In | B Peril W^re Deeerted by Their Own ; a Government Against the Protects of , p the Senior Naval Officer Present — o Most Pusillanimous Episode In the c Naval Annals of Our Country. j g Theodore Boosevelt In a letter to ' u Henry Rputerdwhl, the naval critic, p jCtitlclsee President Wilson and Secre- n tary Daniels In connection with the 1 ffiamplco affair, when the American •(warships were withdrawn by order of j F the Administration. The colonel says : j n "Ton have presented authentic proof | li of how the Americans In peril at ; r TamplCo were dese^ed by their own „ government against the protest of the senior American naval officer present 1 o Too have shown that the government i at Washington had full knowledge of I '' the danger of th'e situation through a (telegrams from Admiral Mayo sent S iby wireless to the navy department w on April 11, 12 and 13. You also v give the telegram of Mr. Daniels of t April 20 directing the admiral to proceed to Vera Cruz. Mayo Feared Lots of Life;' "Too have shown that Admiral Mayo made an emphatic protest to " the navy department, stating thait he s feared the result of the squadron's a .leaving would be the loss of American -lives and property. Tou also qnote the telegrams sent by Admiral Mayo •the following day, containing the protest of the American consul, Mr. Miller, and requesting authority to ' remain at Tamplco. Ton have shown ' that, nevertheless, the navy depart- t ment on the 21st confirmed Its prevl- t ohs orders and directed the ships to [ leave at once. v "Tou have shown that the admiral . put out Into the ocean eight miles . distant, but received a protest from Consul Miller reiterating his demand for protection. You then quote the 1 telegrams and signals of _ Admiral < Mayo, who, to spite of his orders, t nobly refuted to run from the post t of duty while the Uvea of American , men, women and children were In danger." Can't Hide Behind Daniels. Of the President and Secretary N Daniels the colonel writes: ' "President Wilson cannot shield him- - self behind Mr. Daniels, for Mr. Dan- t lels could do nothing that the r president does not order or sanction. « , When Mr. Daniels' actions have been , brought to the attention of Mr. WU- ( sou, and are not repudiated by him, they become Mr. Wilson's; and Mr. WUaon la fully and completely responsible for Mr. Daniels, for all that be has done and left undone. i "The proof Is absolute that when | Admiral Mayo .was at Tamplco he had j received full knowledge of the rioting and of the Imminent danger to American lives; but thaL nevertheless, be steamed away Into the ocean, and that the Americans were rescued by 1 German and British ships. This action constituted so grave an offense from the standpoint of national duty and self-respecL that any man responsible for It should be at once taken out of office. Facts Made Public in U. S. "Shortly thereafter the "facts were ! made public In the United States. If Admiral Mayo had been responsible and had not acted undeir orders, then the only proper course for Secretary Danlela would have been to order his ; Instant court-martial, and In such case the fnllure to do so would have shifted the blame at once from the shoulders of Admiral Muvo to the shoulders of Admiral

superiors. President Wilson and Secretary Daniels. "Therefore, even if these telegrams ^ did not .exist, even If there had been no such orders, or those actually Is- . sued -by the secretary of the navy ; to Admiral Mayo, nevertheless, his superiors. Secretary Daniels land j President Wilson, would both have ' become fully responsible lor . the , guilty transaction by their acquiescence therein. They -cannot. as they have sought to do, shift the blame to the shoulders of the admlraL" The Soldier Vote. A significant feature following the Maine election was the nature of the • soldier vote. It Is reported that one Maine bat- ( tallon hiked 60 miles In two days for the purpose of exercising the fran- i cbise. And we know how they voted! Josephus Daniels might have made j a passable secretary of the Salvation | Navy, but it was pretty rough to Impose him on Uncle Sam's fighting navy. 1 1

; BRINGING HIPPODROME TO TOU . . A Instead fit travelling a hundred miles B . or more to see "Hip Hip Hooray" which last year attracted the amazement of "the whole country at the Hippodrome in i New York, Charles Dillingham has ar- , ranged to bring the big original organ- { ization to th'e Metropolitan Opera House, , Philadelphia, in aU 1U splendor and magnitude for four weeks only, beginl ' ning Saturday night, OctobcT 14th. ^ I- Two perf ortnances^ will be given daily, one at 2.15 and the other at 8.15 and the 1 surprisingly low scale of prices, which ^ i made the New York Hippodrome the i talk of the amusement world, will be j preserved here, with best seats for all | matinees, excepting Saturdays, one dlol- a >j lar. j The Metropolitan Opera House in a [ Philadelphia, with its 3500 seats and t I its enormous stage, is the only theatre in the East, outside of New York and - Boston, capable of splaying this unusual

i attraction. Aside from these, the Hip- • podrome road tour is limited to four ! other cities, Chicago, SL Paul, Kansas , and Cincinnati, in which the large j grand Opera Houses are to be played. "■ I The entire production, company, chbr- 1 I ballets and principals of "Hip Hip ! I Hooray," including Sousa and his fa- c j moue band, come to Philadelphia direct f | from the Hippodrome. Charlotte, the greatest skater in the world, who is £ (now at the Hippodrome, rcpAting her c I last season's sensation, will leave there i 13th and open in Philadelphia t I with the rest of the big company. 1 i For the convenience of patrons outside i .of Philadelphia, Charles Dillingham has 1 I established a bureau of information and ; c a mail order service at 1019 Chestnut ; < I Philadelphia. All mail prders, j 1 i with remittances, sent to that afldress, j 1 ' will be filled in the order received, and!/ , the beSt «eats will be given to suburban ' > . patrons. ! ' I The "prices range from fifty cents to • s one dollar at daily matinees, except Sat- < urdars, when the prices will be the . ( j same as evenings, fifty cents to SI. 50 ' , and $2.00 Via the orchestra. • 1 ANENT OUR SIDEWALKS ' ! A much needed improvement com- j 1 ! pleted lately is the sidewalk and ce- 1 ment gutter in front of the Hotel Vie- i ' toria, belonging to the E. C. night es- j ' tate. Most of our property owners keep ( 1 , their sidewalks and gutters in good repair, but there are some whose side- j 1 walks are in very poor condition — in I ' some Instances absolutely lacking as in the ease of Hotel Congress Hall — | and_ some whose gutters like their side- j walks are either nqn-existant or in a ' deplorably crumpled and shaggy condi- ]' • tion. The city began several years back j to enforce the law regarding the cm- ] placement of sidewalks and - gutters, and met with considerable success, but I for some unknown reason this splendid | .work was discontinued; since that time! j conditions have grown much worse, j Newspapers have preached and unforI tunate pedestrians have sworn, but to j no apparent avail. ' Surely something • pan be done to Better these conditions and relieve the Queen of Resorts of these eyesores. COX IS SUCCESSFUL One of the most successful business men in Cape May is Joseph P. Cox, proprietor and manager of the Palace MovPicture Theatre. Four years practical experiepee in the motion picture business has fitted this hustler for the ta«'- which h» is now performing so creditably. Mr. Cox is tirgjess in his ] efforts to nl-ase patrons, both in seeur- 1 ing "»•» b-«* wn«ib!e productions, and insuring their perfect projection on the I sen en. Each day the best, most talk-ed-of films are presented, a'mnst direct from the factories, which include some j of the most successful in the country, 'such es the Triangle. Paramount. Feature Film and Metro studios. The seating, and heating, facilities of this theatre have also been given careful atten- 1 j tion by the manager, who has expended no limit of timp and effort, to say ' nought of ^capital, in order make the | establishment a real theatre for real
