CHENEY BROTHERS HAD
 NO TIP ON FATAL RAID
Three Murder Suspects Will Be Released-Alleged
 Killer is Held.

Hartford, Feb. In a statement issued today, Cheney Brothers, of Manchester, deny that they received any tip of the prospective raid on their warehouse Thursday night or Friday morning, when a gang visited the place in an automobile and shot to death their chief Watchman, Cap tain William r. Madden. Says the statement:
 We are requested by tfse public authorities not to give out any definite information in regard to the matter, as it is feared that publication might interfere with the cause of justice.
 'We feel, however, that it is proper to say that we had no reason to sus- pect any such raid and most especially not upon that evening. We had re- ceived reports or rumors that there was talk of pulling off theft of silk at New England plants and had reported our information to MT. Madden and had arranged to have him accom- panied by a second guard as a meas ure of precaution. We could hardly have anticipated that we were going to be raided by a small army"
 The Hartford police said this after noon that they would release later in the day the three suspects arrested last night on the Berlin pike south of this city. The auth critics have not learned anything to connect them with tho Manchester killing.
 Fred Klein, the driver of the mur- der ear, who says his home is at S2 Bloomfield street, Hoboken, was taken to Manchester this afternoon for a hearing He has made no further ad- missions

Advises Sec. Baker Paris Reports Are ''Gross Exaggerations"
SENDS MESSAGE TO PEOPLE
Declares That RefutatiOn of Charges Against Yankees Cannot Be Put Too Strongly Before American Public Crime i'm Army Is Negligible.

Washington, Feb. 1.-G eheral Per- shlng, in an official telegram to Secre- tarE Baker today, characterized the sensational reports in French news papers of assaults and bup5larieS haV- Ing been committed in Paris by Amer lcan soldiers as gross eXagg ggeraiOns." " The number of crimes committed py American soldiers, he said was al- most negligible, considering the largo number of men in the vicinity. He recommended that full refutaton of the charges be put before the Ameri- can public
 Disorders at Minimum.
 Since the conclusion of the armi stice, the report added, Paris has of tered attraction to men mischievouSly and criminally inclined and this has resulted in minor disturbances, but the American military police organization IS excellent and disorders are kept at a minimum.
 General Pershing'S cablegram, as made public by the department, follows:
 Crime in Army Negligible.
 Reference your telegram number 2570, d personal knowledge of condi-
 
 your telegram shows that sensational reports as to assaults and burglaries by American soldiers are gross exag- gerations. Crimes by American sol diers in Paris are almost negligible, considering the large number of men in the vicinity The same may be said as to conditions through France.
 Since the conclusion of the armi- stice Paris offers attractions to men miSchieVously and criminally inclined Naturally there are minor disturb ances in Paris. But the American military police organization is excel lent and these disorders are kept at a minimum.
 Little Trouble Over Pay.
 None of these troubles is tracea'ble in any respect to faulty pay systems. No Denniless soldiers are found in Paris. There are individual cases of delayed payment due to d change in pay system which took place during hostilities. The new pay system en- ables soldier to get pay from pay master when money is due him. Gen erally speaking the pay has been al- most always correct. The pay depart ment has been sending officers to find casuals at our hospitals and elsewhere with directions to pay men whose rec ords are entirely lost.
 Rcfutes All Charges.
 Full refutation of the charges made regarding crimes and disorders in Paris cannot be put too strongly before the American public"
