Mf OP THE EVENINO NIW OFFICER TESTIMONY FDR COL MITCHELL Support Charges Made By Accused Man Against ' ' Bureau Heads INDIFFERENCE SHOWN Alien Activity Near Canal and Inadequate Bases On Islands Given No Attention WASHINGTON, Not. 10. The government' air poller both at home and In far off American possession were assailed today In defense testimony before the Mit chell court martial. Captain Robert Oldys, of the air aenrice. called to support Colo nel Mitchell's charge of near treasonable disregard of national interests in arlation, declared be bad in bis possession a letter writ ten by tbe American minister to Guatemaal in 1923, warning of a acheme by "alien interests" to establish a foothold in Central America near the Panama Canal. The minister, the witness said, unsuccessfully urged the Wash ington government to establish an air mall service to Central Am erica. Actual presentation of the letter In evidence was delayed, temporarily at least, by objections from the prosecution. Captain Oldys also quoted at length from the aviation report presented 1923 by the Lassl ter board of army officers, con taining recommendations for air defense of the - Philippines and Hawaii, which the witness said, had been approved by the Secre tary of War, but never carried Into effect. This report, he said, described the situation in the air services as "unfortunate and cri tical." So many objections were Inter posed by the prosecution that Colonel Blantqn Winship, law member of the court, reminded Colonel Sherman Moreland, the prosecutor, of his previous state ment that he would not object to testimony intended to prove the truth of Colonel Mitchell's char ges if It was offered in extenua tion or mitigation. Colonel Moreland said he must continue to object on tbe ground that the evidence being offered was "Incompetent, irrelevant and not obtained from the best sources." Captain Oldys then told the court that while he was stationed in Hawaii there were so many lorced landings and airplane smashes that there was a threat ito hold pilots ) financially re sponsible for the loss of their craft. When the captain said there were no tactical air units on the Pacific Coast, Major - General Howie, president of the court, asked: "Has Rockwell Field been abandoned?" "There is a depot there." "Any flying personnel?" "Only a doien officers. They test machines turned out of the depot." The witness said be had re commended that avltora be transferred to the Faclfic Coast, but the general staff did not ap prove the recommendation. General Howie asked him If he thought the general staff ought to he guided by bis recommenda tions. "As the general staff Is at pre sent constituted, I do, sir," Cap tain Oldys replied. Then Brigadier-General Kwlng E. Booth asked Captain Oldys how he would organize the general staff. "The same as Colonel Mitchell," the csptaln said. WASHINGTON. Nor. 10.

USA HYMAN HUNTLEY'S TRIAL DRAWS FOLK FROM TH COUNTY (AmoeWri mm Ltunl Win.) ; MEDFORD. Nov. 10. Hearing of testimony in the trial of Hyman Huntley, 6S, charged with first degree murder, began In the circuit court today, after Bert H.

Hunt- ley Is accused ot mortally stabbing Jesse James Glbhs, 28, In a quarrel on the night of September 2, over the a I- leged attentions paid by Glblis to Mrs. Huntley. l'p to noon today, four witnesses, city policemen Joe Cave, Leggltt and' Sunder- 4 mann, and Sheriff Jennings, had teatiried as to the sur- render ot Huntley, following the fatal affray, and cDndi- Hons at the Huntley home.

There will be no hearing of the case tomorrow on ae- v count of Armistice Day. Expected to Put Up Good Battle on Card Also Featuring Boles and Dundee Slice Woods and Ernie Woodard will be the principals In the 10 round main event of the next box ing card to be held in Roseburg. on November 20. It was announced by promoter C. H Clough. Both uf these welterweights are known to Roseburg fight fans, anil there Is no uncertainty about their put ting up a lively scrap. Woodard waa defeated by Cal Herman In the first card held lit this city about six weeks ago, but the showing he made won a lot of admirers for him, and the fans have been anxious to see him per form again In a local ring. Wood ard carried the fight to Herman, and had the Salt Ike wrestler scrapper In a bad way in the second round. ' l:i the opinion of many who saw the argument, the tight would have gone longer than II did but for Woodard'a' over-eagerness to complete what apiieared to be a certain victory for him. Her man's greater exiierlence and bet ter generalship wnr. for him, but Woodard galled far more credit lor his showing in the four rounds that the bout lasted than did Duke Evans, the human grappling hook, who managed to stay the limit with Herman in the serontl card be cause he hung on Instead of trying to fight. Since his fight at Hose. burg. Wnndarri has hsd two bouts at Salem, winning one and losing the other. He la still young and in prime condition anil defeat Is Increasing his knowledge of the game without In any way lessening his effectiveness Whether he wins or loses against Woods, the fana are assured of an exhibition worth the money. Woods Is a veteran In the game and haa met all nf the leading wel terweights of the coast. During the past yrar he has fought at his home city of Bend and al Klamath Falls. Uiral fans saw him In ac tion at Sulherlln about three years ago anil his cleverness and speed made a big hit. He has a big ad vantage over Woodard In exiierl ence. but if he puts the Portland boy away he will have to use ev erything h has. 1 The semi-final of six rounds ought to be a hummer. Ace lloyles, Ihe colored lightweight blash nf Coo Hay. will exchange allo.B with Charley Dundee, who ha been making his home here for a month past. Boles has a big rep utation In Ibis pait of Ihe stale, and much Is expected of him In the coming bout. Dundee Is practically an unknown quantity to the local fans, but In his workouts he haa shown so much class that he has gained a big following anil Ihe pre diction Is made that he will lake Hole's number. If Immlee beats the colored glove artist In a de cisive manner he will probably be carded in Ihe headllner of the next aucrcedlng card. Promoter Clough gives the as surance that the usual prelimina ries of four rounds each will be no to Hie sismlard of the preceding bills.
