This| unusual event is held here by order of the president of the board, Admiral Her- Dbert O. Dunn, a native and legal resi- dent of the town, and because Westerly is fully as convenient as Newport for the witnesses, and an opportunity is giv- en the admiral to entertain the officers of the court at his summer home. This is an adjourned session of the court of inquiry that has held sessions at New- port and washington and is charged with a thorough investigation of the alleged immoral conduet of the naval vice squad in Newport to detect alleged gross im- morality at Newport during the war pe- riod. The inquiry is based on,allega- tions printed in the Providence Journal and personal communication of John R. Rathom, the editor, direct to depart- ments of the government. Mr. Rathom was the witness examined Thursday and he stated plainly that he had no facts in his possession, of per- sonal knowledge, aside from what had been printed in his newspaper in connec- tion with the case under inquiry. Franklin D, Roosevelt, assistant secre- tary of the navy, will probably testify at today’s (Friday's) session. Besides Adfniral Dunn, the court of in- quiry is comnosed of Captains Dayid E. Theleen end John F. Hines, with Henry §. Hyneman as judge advocate. Claude R. Branch is council for complainants, the Newport Ministers' Union.
