 The pastor, who is chairman of the law and order committee of the local council of churches, brought his pro- test before aSneeting of that body but, it was understood, he had been prevailed upon not to offer resolu- ton embodying the protest because it was felt there was no integral con- neetion between prohibition and the laying of corner stone.

vent some personal grievance against

Senator Couzens was not in the
senate to answer these statements.
He is confined to his bed with an at
tack of indigestion described as SER
'ious, but not dangerous. It had been
agreed on the Republican side that
no action on the Watson resolution
TO discharge the committee would be
taken until Senator Couzens could
pc present. Senator Jones made a
similar announcement In connection
with his resolution to authorize en-
pioyment OF counsel by the commit

Mexico senator did not ask for its
consideration.
Senator Robinson referred to that
part OF the Mellon letter in his re-

read this extract:

At the White House an authorized

president did not put such an inter-
probation upon Mr.. Melons words.
The sole purpose of Mr.. Mellon as
disclosed in several conference with
the president before the message
was sent to the senate, it was added,
was to serve notice that he would not
be charged with responsibility for
the treasury ''if some one else is go

Capt. Rosenbluth
Posts $4,000 Bail
In CrOnkhite Killing

New York, April 11-Captain Rob-
ert Rosenbluth today surrendered to
federal authorities and posted $780,
in Seattle to stand trial for the muir
der of Major Alexander p. CrOnk-
hite at Camp Lewis, Washington. in
1918.
Thus ended the fight Rosenbluth
had waged for two years to evade
extra dition to the western state on
the ground that the grand jury by
which he and Corporal Roland r.
Pothier were jointly indicted for the
crime lacked proper jurisdiction.
The officers action today followed
a supreme court decision of last
week that the place to challenge jur-
isdiction was in the court where he
was indicted. Colonel Herbert Leh-
man. banker and philanthropist. put
up $4,000 worth of Liberty bonds
for Rosenbluth.
Major Cronkhite, whose father Is
jor general in the regular army,
died at Camp Lewis in october, 1913,
from a bullet would believed at the
time to have been accidentally re-
ceived during target practice. A
year later Corporal Pothier was re-
ported to have confessed he shot and
killed Major Cronkhite under orders
from Captain Rosenbluth. The cor
poral later retracted this statement.
Four years after the majors death
Captain Rosenbluth was arrested in
this city and charged with murder,
and released on $4,000 bail. Cor
poral Pothier was taken into Gus
today at Providence. r. l.. and a
short time later federal grand jury
ut Seattle Jointly indicted them. Ar
raigned before u. S. Commissioner
Hitchcock here, both Of the accused
obtained their release upon a conten-
ton that the government had no deed
to the Camp Lewis property where
Cronkhite met death, so that the
federal grand jury was without au-
thority to act in the case.
Captain Rosenbluth announced
when he surrendered to Commissions
e. Hitchcock today that, in view of
the supreme courts decision, he was
willing and anxious to go to Seattle
to face the murder charges.
