Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, in let
ter made public yesterday, denounces
as discriminatory and un-American the
State Departments ruling that Ameri-
cans of foreign birth or blood are not
eligible for service in Red Cross units
recruited for service abroad.
The Colonels letter was written IN
response TO communication rom
Charles a. Niece, of San Diego, Cal.
Mr.. MCGEE, who is an old friend Of the
Colonel. has Indian blood in his veins
and is a descendant of the founder OF
Milwaukee. As an American OF some
original stock" he wrote the Colonel,
calling his attention 10 circular let
ter issued TO a Red Cross division by
Colonel J. r. Kean, L. ;. A., Medical
Corps, carrying a warning from the
State Department against the Inclusion
in Red Cross units OF persons OF Ger
man. Austrian, Hungarian, Turkish or
Bulgarian birth and citizens of the
United States who were born here, but
whose fathers were born in Germany
81 very earnestly hope that the gov
eminent will at once recede from this
position" says the Colonel. IF our
Red Cross units are not desired abroad,
whether with the base hospitals of the
Allies or anywhere else. then we can
use them purely for our own people or
with our own armies, but wherever we
DO send them Il should be on the as
sumption that we no more permit dis
tinction 70 be made among the Ameri-
can personnel on the ground OF birth
place or parentage than on the ground
of creed Service in the Red Cross
should be like service in the ranks OF
the army; no man worthy 70 serve IN
one should be barred from service in
the other. II any spy or disloyal per-
son is found in either. in the theatre
OF war. he should be hung out Of hand
or shot by drum-head court martial
without mercy, whether he is Of native
or foreign parentage. But il is an in
.olerable wrong and insult 20 discrmi-
nate or permit discrimination between
loyal and devoted Americans because
of their parentage or birthplace.
81 have the right 10 speak IN tins
matter, because have insisted that We
should take the most drastic measures
against any man who acts disloyally.
and | hold that all men who attack our
allies or uphold our enemies while we
are in this war are disloyal TO America.
No man can be loyal both TO this coun-
try and TO Germany; no man can be

Cocchi Again Quizzed
By Bologna Judge
Detailed Report of Confession
Not Yet Made Public

Bologna, italy, June 26.-7Judge zuc-
conf again to-day Intercepted Alfredo
Cocchi. the slayer Of Ruth Cruger in
New York, but thus far he has not
made public a detailed report of the
confession. Even Signor Nenturlni,
Cocchi's attorney, has been unable to
learn all that his client has told.
An important point concerning
Cocchi which has not yet been cleared
up is whether he is naturalized Amer
lean. and whether the United States has
the right 70 request his extradition on
grounds Independent OF those under
which the Italian government inter
prets its extradition treaty with the
United States
The American Embassy in Rome has
not vet received any official statement
as 10 whether Cocchi is a naturalized
American citizen.

Convict Tells Police of In
ternational Activities at
Cruger Investigation
Says Alleged Slayer
Sent Girls to Mexico
Confessed Murderer lnvit-
ed Him to Join Band,
Prisoner Charges

Evidence Of international white
slave" activities which, according TO
Mrs. Grace Humiston, discoverer Of
Ruth Cruger's body, annually engulf
thousands Of girls" was uncovered by
the police yesterday during their be-
lated investigation of the Cruger crime.
Stephen Smith, an inmate of the
penitentiary on Blackwell's Island, told
detectives working under Inspector Jo-
seph A. Faurot. that he had been in
vited by Alfredo Cocchi, the confessed
murderer, TO go to Mexico in connec-
ton with "white slave" traffic. Dozens
of pretty American girls had been
taken down there" he declared Cocchi
told him. you'll have a dandy time"
Smith swears Cocchi promised
Days Other Developments
Other developments of the day in the
three separate inquiries into the Cru
ger crime and the police failure to
reveal it were these;
Detective Sergeant John Laga-
renne, of the Fourth Branch Detec-
tive Bureau, admitted before Com
missioner Leonard A. Wallstein, d.
recting the public inquiry. that he
and the whole branch had worked
IN a circle" in their work on the
Cruger case.
Commissioner Wallstein, after the
hearing, announced that he would APP
peal to Police Commissioner Arthur
Woods to place Sergeant Lagarenne
on trial on charges of gross and will
full negligence in his handling Of the
case.
The Rev Gaspar Moretto, director
OF 81. Rafaels Home for Female ltal-
ian Immigrants. 10 Charlton Street,
admitted before District Attorney
Edward Swami that Cocchi had visit
ed him about the middle Of Febru-
airy for the purpose Of the confes-
sional."
The priest denied harboring the
Italian. Under the Code Of Civil Pro
cedure, he was not questioned con
corning Cocchi's confession. The po-
lice began search at the mems
branch Of St. RafaePs Home, at
Water Street where it is believed
Cocchi may have found temporary
asylum.
Police Commissioner Woods as
signed Detective Sergeant John Gun
milf and Detective Sergeant Frank
Cassasa to 90 TO Bologna. Italy, for
the purpose Of bringing Cocchi back
10 the United States for trial. The
men will not wait until eXtradition
Is assured, but will leave Immediately
TO help press the demand.
The government of Italy was asked
by the State Department, at the re-
quest Of Governor Whitman, TO delay
action in her courts in the Cocchi
case until the two governments can
straighten out the question Of
Cocchi's extradition for trial here.
II is hoped that the Italian courts
will not take up the case until 1t can
be decided whether all the proceed
ings shall be conducted in the United
States.

Q.-But you have heard of it since
A.-Yes.
Q.-When did you first hear of it?
A.-On February IS, when the District
Attorney started his investigation.
Q-The fixing" of motorcycle police
men was never a subject of converse
ton between detectives and policemen
or among detectives? A.-NO, sir.
Q.-You never heard stories that
garages and other places might be used
for fixing" motorcycle policemen? A
No, sir.
Disappearance Started Doubt
Mr.. Wallstein brought out that Laga-
renne and other detectives had con-
ferred with members Of the Cruger fam
ily four times and with Cocchi three
times before the Italian fled, but noth-
ing occurred 20 shake the police talth
in Cocchi's innocence.
O.-Who located Cocch's shop as the
last place Ruth Cruger was seen alive Z
A-Helen Cruger
Didn't Helen tell you she made
several visits to the shop before she
found Cocchi in? Didn't this arouse
your suspicious? A.-No, sir.
Q.-And did you place any slgniii,
canoe I'M the fact that Miss Helen found
the shop closed Oh repeated visits? A
| did not.
But. after Cocchi effaced himself so
mvsteriously, II appears that doubts pc
gan TO cloud the detectives MIND. lie
admitted Cocchi became the subject OF
several conferences with Captain Alonzo
Cooper, OF the Fourth Branch. TINS,
however, is not shown on the police
records. Neither do the records SHOW
anything regarding the conversations
with Helen Cruger in which she stated
her difficulty in finding Cocchi because
of the shop being closed.
Locked Door Not CnusuaP'
ain your talks with Captain Cooper
asked Mr.. Wallstein, did you express
regret at not having discovered why
Cocchi's shop was closed
NO. I don't suppose | did replied
Lagarenne after a long pause.
Although the records DO not disclose
il Lagarenne said he had reported
orally to Captain Cooper the familys
theory that Ruth's body might be con
cealed in the Cocchi cellar. Mr.. Wall
stein wanted 70 know why the detec-
tive didn't make such an important
point the subject OF written report.
fagarenne said he didn't think about It.
Mr.. Wallstein then led the witness
ND TO the search OF Cocchl's shop, made
the day the murderer fed. Lagarenne
said the search was made because Mr..
Cruger insisted upon IL. IL lasted about
half an hour.

The discovery of the witness, Smith,
By detectives working under Inspector
Faurot, and his revelations concerning
the part he unwittingly played in hid
ing the Cruger crime. led in importance
the developments of the day.
