I, editor 12.—John R. Providence complain- March ! rathom, of the Journal W made vesterday by the naval court of v which is investigating charges who a ant inqui of immoral operations against a naval anti-vice squad, today, announced that he had no charges to bring be- fore the court. Adjournment had been taken early yesterday to allow him to decide what part of the charges which he made recently be- for a committee of the U. S. Senate he would prefer hefore the naval court. Resuming Mr. Rathom had decided wished to state hi statement he announced not qualify anything he had said cr the Providence Journal had printed about the practices of the anti-vice squad. Not Fighting His complaint, he against the system of which the practices were a part, rather than against an individual. This system was described by the witness as one ‘that skts human Deings to deeds like this, that spurs them on, that teaches the triumph of disgrace and bring moral shipwreck in far greater measure on those who do what they have been taught to believe is their duty than on the guilty ones they seek to expose.” “This” he added, “is what must be turned out if men in the navy or any other sérvice where such methods exist are to save their self respect.” The witness said he was anxious to assist in the inquiry and that al- though he had no personal knowl- edge of the matters connected with it, he wished to submit the transcript of testimony in several cases on which he said his opinion was based, and certain letters and memorandum which he thought were sufficient to prove the charges. The papers were accepted as evidence by the dourt. Letters to Daniels, Rathom’s request for permission to make a statement in place of pre- ferring charges was at first opposed by the judge advocate who subse- quently interrupted the direct ex- amination to turn the witn over to his own counsel with the sugges- tion that the statement might be in- troduced in that manper. Resuming direct inquiry later the judge advo- cate brought into evidence corres- y)onrie_nce between tathom an@i Sec- retary Daniels in 1917 regarding moral conditions in Newport at that time. The letters in which there was a reference to an investigation of conditions made by Rathom but with- held from publication for the hest inter of the city of Newport, showed, the judge advocate said, that the editor and the secretary of the navy were in accord on the question of dealing with vice in the naval center at that time.
