MAJ. CRONKHITE MURDER
is DENIED BY SUSPECT
Of Justice Agents
Flayed for Arrest Of Former
Army Captain.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Denial that
ne was IN any way connected with the
shooting and killing Of Maj. Alexan-
der Cronkhite at Camp Lewis. Tacoma,
two and half years ago. was made
here by Robert Rosenbluth. formerly
captain in the Army Engineer Corps.
Rosenbluth, who was arrested here on
a charge of murder and released
later on $25,000 bail, was accused in
an alleged confession made by Sergt.
Roland p Pothier at Tacoma of
having ordered him to shoot the
major. promising him protection If
he performed the deed.
Rosenbluth, who is at the home of
his attorney here, declared MAI.
Cronkhite was "the best liked man in
the outfit" and asserted that the De-
partment Of Justice agents had blum
dered in their investigation OF the
case.
1T was to satisfy a private ven
geance." he said, "and to hang onto
murder"
The idea Of a premediated conspir-
acy to shoot Maj. Cronkhite. Rosen-
bluth declared. was impossible, as the
major was in the hospital four days
previous to the shooting and no one
knew he was to be with the skeleton
regiment on the day of their hike.
Jonah ]. Goldstein, Rosenbluth's at
torney, flayed the Department of Jus
tice, saying they are looking for
some one to put the blame on and
don't care who it is. Rosenbluth has
nothing to fear, as he is absolutely in
nocent and all his old buddies of the
service know it."

u. S. BARELY ESCAPED WAR
m 1916 DANIELS DECLARES
So Probable Did Break With Germany
Appear After Sussex Sinking That
Navy Was Mobilized..

, emergency AS the first line of de-
Tense 1t must not be caught nap
ping Mobilization is the next step
to actual hostilities. and is justifiable
only when conditions are extremely
threatening. That was the case in
the spring of 1916.
AS 1t happened. Germany yielded.
She replied to our ultimatum with a
declaration that her government was
prepared to do its utmost to contine
the operations Of war for the rest of
it's duration to the fighting forces of
the belligerents." She further prom
ised that merchant vessels should no
longer be sunk without warning or
without saving human lives. except
in eases where they attempted to
escape or to offer resistance.
Note the phrase ''for the rest Of its
duration" This made the pledge
binding until the war ended. Within
eight months Germany was laying
promise. and within nine she had re-
pudiated it.. For the time. however.
it averted the rupture between the
two countries. and postponed for
nearly year what many Of us by
now had come to regard as inevitable.
War STAYED or for Year.
But this I want to emphasize-ff
sort of warfare the Sussex sinking
represented, President Wilson would
have sent Rernstorff home in the
spring of 1916. and we would have
been at war. in all hum an probability,
before midsummer. We were set for
down.

In July Of 1915 I invited Mr.. Edison

March, 1917. I knew from Admiral
Mayo, commander -in-chief, that the
fleet was in such good condition that
only a word would be required to

WASTED BY .PENNSY
President Rea Calls Outside
Repairs Necessary to
Meet Emergency.
By the Associa ted Press.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, April 1s.-
Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, denied statements that
prices paid by the company for repair
work done outside it's shops were ex-
cessive. Mr.. Rea referred specifically
to the charge alleged to have been
made by William H. Johnston. inter
national president of the machinists'
union. that the Pennsylvania railroad
in having 200 locomotives repaired in
excess of the cost if the road had
done the work itself.
From March 1. 1920. when the
Pennsylvania railroad resumed the
cember 81. 1s2o.' Mr.. Rea said in a
formal statement. locomotive and
freight car repair work done outside
the railroads own shops amounted to
about per cent Of the total cost of
this work. Locomotive and car re-
pairs cost the railroad approximately
$40. 900. 900. of which $S.200,000 was
for repairs in outside shops.
THE direct labor cost Of doing
this work in outside shops was much
less than in railroad shops. For in
stance. direct labor required to re-
$60S.494. The same work in railroad
shops would have cost the Pennsyl-
vania railroad $1,000. 306. The labor
ccst outside was 40 per cent less.
Outside concerns PAID their men on
piece work basis. Under the so-call-
ed national agreement the railroad
had to pay it's men by the day"
Calling attention to the congestion
prevailing when the company resum-
ed the management of the railroad
and the urgent necessity" for repairs
to equipment Mr.. Rea's statement
continued:
Outside shop assistance was es-
sential. but 1t was kept down to a
The 200 locomotives re-
paired under contract by the Bald
win Locomotive Works required the
heaviest repairs and sending them
outside afforded the railroad shops
greater capacity to handle more To-
comotives and return them to ser
vice more quickly.
THE business of the country de-
manded that the work be done at the
earliest possible moment and the
Pennsylvania obtained the best terms
possible on the work it had to have
done outside"
