Washington, March 11. A copy of Colonel Roosevelt's letter made public today, was forwarded this morning by Senator Dixon, his manager, to McKinley, of the Taft campaign In an accompanying note Senator Dixon asks whether Mr. McKinley's position is Indorsed by President Taft, as Senator Dixon's has been by Colonel Roosevelt. The Dixon letter said: "In view of this unqualifed indorsement of my challenge of March 4, for a general primary test of the sentiment of Republican voters as to their presidential candidate in the approaching campaign, I shall be glad to know whether Mr. Taft, whose personal representative you say you are, similarly indorses you in refusing that test.

"JOSEPH M. DIXON." TAFT PRAISED FOR SPEECHES. Says Discussion of Government Questions Brought Forth Sympathetic Assurances. Pittsburg, March 11-With more congratulatory telegrams than he has received on any recent trip, President Taft passed through Pittsburg today on his way East from Chicago and Toledo. Most of the messages of praise referred to his Toledo speech Friday night, in which he denounced the recall of judges and the recall of judicial decisions.

Discussing the trip the President said: "The reception accorded to mne by the people of Toledo and Chicago puts me under a deep sense of obligation to them. The discussion of questions of government brought forth many sympathetic assurances and the American citizens of foreign birth or descent, of whom several great audiences were composed, seemed especially interested and concerned in the outlines of constitutional problems. The spirit of optimism of faith institutions, of confidence one in another, 1s as strongly in evidence today as at any time in the history of our country." PEOPLE YEARN TO KNOW. The Rev. Mr.

Crough Tells of New Significance of Lent. The speaker this noon at the regular Lenten service held daily at the Church of the Holy Trinity, Clinton and Pierrepont streets, was the Rev. Frank Munroe Crough of that church. He spoke of how everyone in this day is thirsting for knowledge. He said that every man and woman outside and inside the church is filled with a desire to know.

Centuries ago, he explained, this desire was fulfilled by the cloister, and burning the midnight oil, but now people find out things by the giving of themselves, and by action. Lent, he said, heretofore, had too much of meditation and contemplation in it, but it is gradually taking on a new meaning. In Lent people are filled with a desire to help others.

Every effort is being made by the followers of William A. Doyle, who is leading fight against Thomas F. Wogan, in Ninth Assembly District, to show the that if Doyle succeeds in taking the leadership of the district away from Wogan he will "stand in right" with Tammany Hall: words "central organization" are used by the Doyle to indicate Tammany, and in conversation, it is reported, they say, they have not only John H. McCooey, but also "Charlie" Murphy of Tammany Hall behind them. Wogan has been one of the most consistent Democratic leaders in Brooklyn to fight for autonomy of Brooklyn.

Under Senator McCarren's leadership Wogan was actively opposed Tammany men, but he won out year after year, owing to the opposition of the residents of the district to Tammany Hall domination of Brooklyn affairs. Wogan says that Doyle is furnishing him with the best ammunition of the campaign through his connection with Tammany Hall and Leader McCooey. Wogan is one of the leaders who opposed McCooey's continuance as Democratic leader last December, and demanded a new leader who would stand for Brooklyn first, and not support "Tammany charters" or Tammany appointees. Doyle has been rewarded by the Tammany organization for his fight on Wogan through the appointment last week of a number of men to various State positions in departments controlled by the Tammany machine. Doyle claims these appointments came through McCooey, but the Wogan men say it all amounts to the same thing, as McCooey is "a Tammany leader." The Wogan men are preparing material which will show that Doyle opposed the Democratic ticket last fall.

They have secured copies of "The Brooklyn Weekly News," which is owned by Mr. Doyle, and published in the South Brooklyn section, to bear them According to these clippings, the Doyle publication supported Charles S. Devoy, the Republican candidate for County Clerk, and Devoy sent a letter of thanks to the Brooklyn Weekly News after the election which the paper printed. "They cannot charge that I failed to support the ticket," Wogan said today, "but here is the proof that Doyle tried his best to defeat our county ticket last fall and was proud to print a letter of thanks from a successful Republican candidate. If that is what Doyle calls he is welcome to that kind of Democracy." OBITUARY John Macaulay.

SEEKS TO ENJOIN TILYOU. Building Sup't Claims Permit Hasn't Been Granted Steeplechase Owner. Building Superintendent Thatcher moved before Justice Biackmar today to get an injunction against George C. Tilyou preventing the owner of Steeplechase Park from going on with the rearrangement of the famous rack track until a proper permit has been secured from his department. Lawyers Van Thun and Byrne represented Tilyou and Assistant Corporation Counsel O'Brien the Bureau of Buildings, and, although decision was reserved, the court gave the impression tha injunction would not be granted pending the determination of the fight.

The Bureau of Buildings and Tilyou have crossed swords several times over the race track, and the Steeplechase man has gone ahead, it is claimed, with a new addition without waiting for the formality of a permit. 'He has an injunction against Superintendent Thatcher's bureau and claims to be acting under that. He proposes to open the park on St. Patrick's Day, and doesn't want Superintendent Thatcher to stop it. MR.

ONLY ONE MAN IS INJURED. His Escape From Death Regarded as Miraculous--Tank of Extinguisher Blown High in Air. The officers of the Brooklyn Navy Yard were given somewhat of a scare at about 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, when a government-made fire extinguisher that was being tried out, blew up. "It sounded as though a hostile ship had thrown a shell into the yard," said a watchman in the commandant's building, "or a possible explosion of one of the magazines in the Florida." However, it was some explosion and in a few moments several officers who were not at the scene of the accident were hurrying over to investigate the affair.

Naval Constructor Cawne was In charge of the experiment, but luckily was standing several feet away from the tank when the mixtures were turned together. The other officers, although they had no idea of any possibility an explosion, were standing several feet from the tank. Just as the mixtures were turned together Raymond Tuero, a member of the classified service at the local yard, who was assisting with the experiment, stepped up to the tank to shut off a valve which was leaking. Tuero was leaning against the tank when the explosion occurred and was blown several feet in the air and landed on his left shoulder, some feet from the tank, while the extinguisher was lifted several feet in the air. One of the officers claims that it was more than a hundred feet in the air when he saw it.

Tuero Had Narrow Escape From Death, Tuero, the only person injured in the accident, was hurried to the medical dispensary, where he was attended by Dr. Wentworth. His injuries were not serious as expected, but he was so badly frightened from the explosion that he could not remember just what happened and kept making inquiries regarding the experiment. His escape from death was nothing short of miraculous, claim the officers who witnessed the explosion. After his arm and shoulder were dressed he was removed to his home.

At the time of the explosion Naval Constructor Williams, who has his office in Building No. 6, was looking through the window of his office. He heard the explosion, which was followed by a huge cloud of black smoke, and saw several naval officers taking to their heels. The tank was thirty inches in diameter and sixty inches high, and 1s said to have contained a pressure of sixty pounds which proved too much for the extinguisher. It is built along the same as the extinguisher used by the Standard Oil Company, and was intended for use the new battleships and torpedo boats which burn oil exclusively.

Tank Too Lightly Built. "The tank proved to be too light in construction," said Naval Constructor Williams today. "Of course, we are desirous of making this tank as light 88 possible, but it will have to be of heavier construction. Our object in manufactur1ng the tank of this weight of material was not to use an excess weight in apparatus on board of our ships." The mixture in the distinguisher contained sulphuric acid, soda and several other chemicals, the names of which were not given out. It is believed that the new chemicals produced a greater pressure than was estimated by the officers and designers of the new apparatus.

However, the next tank will be constructed of heavier material and the safety factor as far as pressure is concerned will be enlarged. MUNICIPAL REGISTER. Pending City Examinations.

NO COLOMBIA GRANT TO KAISER Washington, March 11--The State Department has been watching for the past fi. months the negotiations of a Germa steamship and fruit concern for a coaling station on the north shore of Colombia, near the Panama Canal, but has failed to find evidence to warrant the assumption that the movement is anything but a purely business proposition. ENFORCE SUNDAY LABOR LAW That Is Demand of Clerical Conference- -Committee to See the Mayor.

a meeting this morning of the Clerical Conference presided over by Bishop Courtney, rector of St. James Episcopal Church, Manhattan, and attended by over a hundred representatives of twenty different denominations in the assembly room of the Metropolitan Life Building, resolutions were passed authorizing the appoinment of a committee to wait on Mayor Gaynor and urge upon him the enforcement of the Sunday labor laws, covering the operation of moving picture and vaudeville shows on Sunday, and to ask the Mayor why he has not used his authority over the Police Department and the Common Show License Bureau, to revoke the licenses of all theaters breaking the Sunday laws. In the preambles to the resolutions it is pointed out that "the Sunday laws are constantly being violated both in regard to the hours of work as brought out by the complaint of the Theatrical Protective Union No. 1, to the Clerical Conference, and the censorship of the shows." The conference also considered a bill a proposed at the last meeting for the consideration of the Legislature, making it a misdemeanor and punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, for any employer to require employes to work more than six days in the week, except in the case of farm labor and household service, unwithin the next succeeding six days during a period of twenty-four consecuhours the employe shall not be required to work. The difficulty of carrying out the provisions of the proposed bill was discussed at length, and was met with the suggestion that in cases where it is necessary to have constant labor sufficient relays be employed to keep within its provisions.

About 125,000 people in New York State will be affected by the bill if it becomes a law. Among the pastors who took a prominent part in the meeting were Rev. Paul Kennedy of the Society for the Improvement of Labor, the Rev. George A. Fitch of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ, the Rev.

Dr. S. Edward Young of the Bedford Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn; the Rev. Dr. D.

Because it is a Presidential year "and could be hammered" and that tariff the strike has been kept before the public in "diabolically clever by a "direct action Socialists," are among the reasons given for exploiting the strike.

according to Lawrence, in an account of conditions statements by a Catholic priest and there prepared in the current issue of the printed Tablet, the Catholic weekly publication of the Diocese of Brooklyn. Even the "hysterical newspapers" the gullibility of gaged in the American public' were not the main cause for the widespread publicity given the Lawrence strike, this article says, "in a manner calculated to prejudice public, not only against the mill the owners and city authorities." but against all regularly instituted authority. was done and made possible by the fact that the direct action Socialthe believers in the doctrine of ists, force, the syndicalists, are, able to exert overwhelming directing force on the all Socialist party as it exists today in this country." says the Tablet article. "They have hoodwinked the older, peace loving Socialists. They theorizing, pull the wires now.

Therefore, every move they made in Lawrence calculated to advance the cause of opposition to the present form of soelety, calculated to lead to its overthrow, was heralded in every city in this Union, where they control the socialistic societies, as great step taken toward breaking the 'slave's chains' that, according to them, "still bind the American workingman.".
