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.

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

boy away he will have to use ev

The semi-final of six rounds

been making his home here for a
month past. Boles has a big rep

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

Hole's number. If Immlee beats
the colored glove artist In a de

The minstrel show presented last '
night by Umpqua Post of the Amer
ican Legion, waa without question
one ot the finest borne talent en

Theatre to ita fullest capacity.
From the opening eortaln to the
stirring, patriotic finals, the great
crowd waa kept roaring with bvach-'
ter or enthralled with the entranc
ing music or the beautiful unique
dancing numbers. ' From start to
finish the show waa good, clean
fun and entertainment, having ab
solutely nothing of an objectlon-
ble nature, even In' the Jokes and
crossfire. The dialogue- waa new
and humorous and carried off la
a style which would do credit to
veteran minstrels. '
The original stage setting., de
signed by John T. Coyle. director,
were simple yet gorgeous In ap
pearance, and gave a pleasing at- .
lioaphere to the production. Vocal ...
solos by Jack "Coyle, Harold Bemis, "
I -en l)ejiney, Frank Rogers and
llert G. Hates, featured the min
strel, while one ot the most appro-. '
elated numbers was th son solo
by "Shorty" Schneider, whose rat- '
tling bones awung the whole audi
ence Into lime with the catchy mu-.
sic and won encore efter encore, to
which he responded until almost
worn out.
Mr. Oscar Berrle, commander of
Umpqua Post, served aa Interlocu

The minstrel orchestra led by
Miss Dorothy Cordon at the piano,
was a great adjunct to the show.
Its accompanlements being perfect,
while the crowd was kept enter

fine music. The orchestra waa

piano, James Goodman, taxaphone
and flute; Charles Caw, saxaphone;
Wm. Olt, violin: Delaine Strader.
traps: "Jan" Spraggen. banjo;

The second part of the show
was msd up of vaudeville num
bers, any one of which was equal
to any- of the high claas vaudeville
number to be found on the "big
time" circuits.
The opening number, "The dance
nf the Silhouettes." was something
new and unique in Roseburg. It I
not only weird, but It Is very en
tertaining and aa presented by Misa
Peggy t'nnlee and Mr. , Marlon
Weaiherrord, won hearty applause
from the crowd.
