Secretary Daniels testified today before a naval board investigating - methods em ployed In an attempt to suppress vice at the Newport training station that he obtained his first knowledge of alleged misconduct on the part of the naval personnel from Bishop Perry of Rhode Island. Mr. Daniels said he was "shocked" at the allegations presented last Sep tember by the bishop in asking that the navy department apologize to Rev. Samuel M. Kent, an Episcopal minister of Newport, who was ac quitted by a court there on charges loaged against him by naval operators. Immediate orders to stop "such base methods' as charged by Bishop Perry were issued, the secretary said, adding that they "were unspeakable and would not be tolerated for a moment."
