EDITOR TESTIFIES
 IN NAVAL SCANDAL
Rathom Declines to Bring
 Charges in Newport Case

Newport R. l., March 12.-John F.. Rathom, editor of the Providence Journal who was made a complain ant yesterday by the naval court of inquiry which is investigating charges of immoral operations against 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. $. Senate he would prefer before the naval court
 Resumng the witness stand today MT. Rathom said that although he had decided to make no charges he wished to state his attitude. In this statement he announced he would not qualify anything he had said CT the Providence Journal had printed about the practices of the anti-vice squad.
 Not Fighting Individual.
 His complaint, he said, had been 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 sets human beings 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 service 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 court.
 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- animation to turn the witness over to his own counsel with the sugges- tion that the statement might be i'm troduced in that manner. Resuning direct inquiry later the. judge advo- cate brought into evidence corres- pondence between Rathom ar1s 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 best interests 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.
