SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Sept. 2.
Colonel William Mitchell, "stormy
petrel," of the air service, threw a
bombshell into the air service cir
cles today when war department
officials began to review his book
"Winged Defense," which had been
published against war department
orders. v -
"The truth about United States
air aervlce. Is going to be sup
pressed no longer," declared the
commander of the eight corps area
air forces to the Associated Press.
"1 have disobeyed no orders,"
Colonel Mitchell said, although ad
mitting that he had published his
book without submitting It to hla
stiperiiny for approval, .
"The truth of our deplorable
situation Is going to be put before
the American people, ' come what
may," he continued. "If the war
department wants to atart some
thing so much the better, then I
can get the case before congress
and the people and then we will
have a change to remedy this un
fortunate condition.
'Aviators are the only persons
competent to tell what Is wrong
and they are going to tell, I assure
you that.
"One fourth of the short com
ings of our air service, have not
yet been told, but they are going 1
to be.
"This book Is just the begin
ning. I am at present preparing a
scries of artlclea which will 'rip
the cover off these deplorable conditions.
'Winged Defense." a story of the
development of commercial and
military aviation, came off the
presses yesterday.
Its publication had. been speci
fically forbidden by the war de
partment until that branch had
given approval.
Some months ago at the expira
tion of his temporary appointment
as brigadier-general, Mitchell was
relieved as assistant chief of the
United States air forces -and re
turned to his regular army rank
of colonel. He previously had ex
pressed disagreement with his
superiors In the war department
concerning the defense value of the
air forces.
Colonel Mitchell's new book Is
written for the public and phrased
with terms which are not bewilder
ing to the non-flyer. One chapter
la devoted to bombing operations
against warships bearing the caption:
'United States air forces prove
that aircraft dominates seacraft."
The book la replete with car
toons which poke jibes at war de
partment. The author declared that
those had been Inserted by the
publishers without his knowledge.

A careful Inquest Into the death
yesterday of Huart L. Sturglll, lo
cally known aa Charley Moore, waa
conducted yesterday afternoon by
Coroner M. E. Ritter. The Inquest
was held at the Roseburg Under
taking parlora, with District Attor
ney Guy Cordon questioning the
witnesses.
The witnesses were thoroughly
examined In an effort to probe the
report that there waa a fourth
party In the car, but the two young
ladies who were occupants of the
machine at the time of the crash,
denied that there waa any other
passenger, and none of the wit
nesses were able to give any testi
mony which might Indicate that
there waa a fourth party present.
Nothing was learned to throw
any light on the man's reason for
using an assumed name, and the
girls were unable to tell his occu
pation. The first witness, called waa Dr.
Wainscott, who described the In
juries which resulted In the young
man's death and also described the
scene of the accident at the time of
his arrival. He Identified the body
in the morgue as that of the young
man treated by him at thr.ecene
of the smash. ,
Frank Stone a transient, said
that he waa about a block from the
car when It was wrecked. He was
walking along the sidewalk and
the car passed him, evidently going
about 30 miles an hour. Stone said
he heard the crash and rushed to
the corner where he found the man
lying on his face. He turned him
over and gave first aid. He said
that he noticed the barricade across
the street, and that the light was
hanging five or six feet off cener,
according to his Impression. The
light gave the Impression that the
right hand side nf the street waa
open. Ho described the position of
the body, the ear and olher details
concerning the accident.
James Goodman presented a dia
gram showing the location of the
Intersection, the barricade, wreck
ed car. body, etc., the map being
of much benefit to the jury In aid
ing to thoroughly get the lay of
the ground In mind. Mr. Goodman
also stated that the lantern on the
barricade was not In the center.
Raymond Rausch, night officer,
gave detailed measurements taken
at the scene of the wreck. The car
waa 3! f!ct from the curb corner
he said, and the lantern was hang
ing 13 feet 6 Inches from the west
curb of the si reel, which Is 36 feet
wide. He said that the street
light at the Intersection made It dif
ficult for a person traveling north
on the highway to see- the barri
cade unfil they wero a few feet
from It.
Marie Mead, local waitress, who
was Injured In die acchnt, stated
that she had known Moore for about
three months. She said that she
had met him in Roseburg, and that
following her return from Portland
about five weeks ago she met him
here again. Three weeks ago, she
told the jury, she and Floy Swish
er were taken to Medford by the
man. They sought work there,
staying at Mrs. Swisher's sister's
home. The man visited them fre
quently, she aald, taking them to
shows and dances. He was often ab
sent from the city, being Iron" a
few days at a time, but volunteer
ing no information iinn his return
ss to where he hail been nr what
he had been doing. Mrs. Mead said
that she learned his true name one
day when she noticed the Initials
II. L S. In his coat and asked him
what they meant. He told her his
name, but volunteer'! no reason
for his assumed nam,. She said she
did not question him regarding
that, circumstance nor about hla
occupation. He always appeared to
be plentifully supplied with money,
the jury was told.
Mondsy. she said, he told them
he was coming to Roseburg, and of
fered to bring them with him. They
stopped at Grants Pass for dinner,
also at a service station for gaso
line, and changed a tire on the
way. They left Medford about :30
and arrived here about 1:30 a. m.
