 ASSAILS RATHOM
Says Providence Editor Made 'DiShOnOrable" Attack on Navy

Washington. Jan. 22.-Chairman Page of the senate naval committee today appointed Senators Ball, Della ware, Reyes, New Hampshire, and King. Utah, to determine whether an investigation should be made into charges by John R. Itathom of the Providence Journal, that immoral conditions exist in the navy with the full knowledge of Secretary Daniels.
 Assistant Secretary Roosevelt in a statement today said MT. Ratlloms s charges were Fin view of the circum- stances, q deliberate and malicious attempt to create trouble in addition to being false"
 MT. Rathom sent a personal repre- sentative to the navy department about month ago." said MT. Roose welt. This representative was given the full facts in relation to the in- Hestigation of conditions in the city of Newport last summer It was eN- plained that the matter of the trial of the Rev. Mr. Kent was not at that time in the hands of the navy depart ment in view of the fact that the de- partment of justice had recommend ed that they take over matters per- taininS to his trial. It was further explained that the very moment the trial of the Rev. MT. Kent was ended the navy department would investi- gate the allegations which had been made by a number of people that the methods used by an officer and sev- eraI enlisted men of the navy had been highly improper.
 The trial of the Rev. MT. Kent was concluded ten days ago. Following the closing of the case, the depart ment proceeded to carry out it's inten- ton of conducting an inVesti gation of the charges which had been made against the officer and enlisted men, and on January IT Q court of inquiry with full powers to go into this ques- ton was appointed by the secretary of the navy.
 'Tn view of the fact that MT. Rathom knew the above circum- stances and that the department Was proceedings in this case in entire good faith, his statement can only be con- sidered a maliciously vicious. dishon- est and dshonorablc attack on the United States navY.''

EIGHT LIVES LOST
 WHEN BOAT SINKS
Efforts to Transfer Passengers From
 Powhatan Frustrated By High 4 Seas-ToWing Ship to Port.

Halifax. N. S., Jan. 22.--Eight lives were lost when a boat from the trans port Northern Pacific overturned yes terday in an attempt to transfer pas sengers from the disabled Powhatan, according to officers of the steamship Rardic which arrived here this morn- Ing.
 The Bardic's officers said this statement was based on i wireless
 m essage received while on the way to Halifax after having failed in an at- tempt to take the disabled transport Sin tow. Officials of the navy depart ment here said they had no record : of this m esSage.
 A wireless message from Captain Randall of the Powhatan timed 10 a. sNnn. today said he had started for AHalfaX in tow of the Canadian gov ernment steamer Lady Laurier at s D. m. He announced there was no .echange in the condition of the ship -and transfer of passengers would not be attempted unless everything is absolutely favorable"
 s Three boats were sent from the sEorthern Pacific toward the Powha- fan but were recalled because the .EHeas were too heavy to transfer pas sengers from the disabled steamer. One of the boats failed to return and a L. S. destroyer sent word that it had been upset according to the Bardic's officers.
