Rosenbluth Is Refused
Interview by Daugherty
Calder Obtains Assurance That
Charges Will Be Investigated
Thoroughly

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Attornev
General Daugherty refused to-day to
grant personal interview to Captain
Rosenbluth, of New York, who is
charged, at Tacoma, Wash, with hav-
ing ordered the shooting of Major
Alexander Cronkhite at Camp Lewis
in 1918
Captain Rosenbluth was accompanied
to the Department of Justice by Sen
ator Calder, of New York, who was as
sured by the Attorney General that the
charge against Rosenbluth would be
investigated thoroughly.
AT the department it was explained
that Mr.. Daugherty, in refusing to see
Rosenbluth, took the position that
since he planned to make a personal
investigation of the whole case, he
direct from a defendant.
Captain Rosenbluth was received bv
Mr.. Daugherty last week, but officers
OF the department said this was before
the Attorney General had begun his
investigation. The accused man ap-
peared at the department with letter
from Secretary Hoover, it was said,
and was accompanied by Katherine B.
Davis, former Commissioner of Correc-
tions in New York City.
Describing the interview to-day, Mr..
Daugherty said Rosenbluth told
straightforward story, but that it was
yet too early to form an opinion in the
case. He reiterated that Rosenbluth
who is at liberty on bail following his
arrest in New York, would not be sent
West for trial until the department
was reasonably sure of his connection
with the case

UTICA, N. Y, April 21.-Attorney
General Harry M. Daugherty has re-
quested United States Marshal Clavton

jurisdiction includes twenty-nine coun-
ties of the state, extending from the
southern tier to the Canadian border

ceded Marshal Wheeler in office. is
slated for the job.

who, while a Democrat, has several
times carried his county and once was
elected to the Senate from the Della
ware Broome-Chenango district, are
surprised and chagrincd that Mr..
Wheeler was not allowed to serve out
his second term.
New-York tribune., 1921-04-22

There are half dozen candidates
for the place, but Representative
Homer Snyder, Of Little Fails. a ner-
sonal friend of Brcitenstein, insisted to
the Attorney General that Mr.. Breiten-
stein have his old place without delay.
Marshal Wheeler makes his head
quarters here and at Syracuse most of
the time. He has not indicated wheth-
er he will at once comply with the At
torney Generals request
The action of the ATTORNEY Cenaral
ls interpreted by the Republican poi-
ticians as evidence that President Har-
ding and the Attorney General are
soon to begin the general distribution
OF Federal patronage. If this is the
plan 1T means that President Wilson's
executive order placing the postoffices

permit of the appointment at an early
day OF the postmasters in the Presi

Rochester, was appointed Collector of
the Port Of New York this week. and at
once confirmed. The action Of the At
torney General in calling on Marshal
wheeler to resign probably means the
wholesaie displacement of Democratic
Federal officials in the Empire State.
