Questioner Points Out His
Plan to Protect Pacific

(AMnrUttd Prets L-sted Wire.)
WASHINGTON. Nor. 23. Colo
i nel William Mitchell took the wit
ness stand today before the court
martial trying him for breach of
discipline as a result of his public
criticism of the admlnistraton of
tlie army and navy ar services.
For the third time within a few
months, the air crusader repeated
under oath bis reasons for assailing
those in charge of governmental
aviation and for bis advocacy of a
larger and better trained and
equipped air force.
Much of bis testimony hinged up
on the same points-he had stressed
last spring before the house air
craft committee and later ' before
the president's special air board.
When he took the stand in his
wn behalf he was informed of his
rights by the law member of the
court. Colonel Blanton WJnshlp,
and replied that he would subject
himself to full direct and cross ex
amination by the defense and pros
ecution counsel, "the same as any
other witness."
Colonel Mitchell began his testi
mony with a long and detailed ac
count of his army career. Including
the service In the air in France for
which he was awarded many dec
orations. From that point the witness was
led under questions by his counsel,
Representative Frank Reld of Illi
nois to an expression of his opin
ion on various phases of aircraft
development. The colonel testified
that at the end of the World war
aviation was just beginning to come

$250,000 Heart Balm Is
Sought by Hollywood
Girl, Supplanted
by Armenian
(AanrUtrd Pma Invil Wire.)
NEW YORK, Nor. 23. Today's
American says that William An
drews Clark, third grandson of the
late Montana senator, has been
sued for (250,000 by Marguerite
McNulty,' a dancer, who avers be
broke a promise to marry her.
The defendant is in London and
the complaint, with court approval
was left with the management of
the hotel here, where Clark has an
apartment.
The complaint charges that In
1923, less than three months after
they met in a Broadway cabaret,
Clark took the plaintiff to his fath
er's home in Butte, Mont, and in
troduced her as his fiancee and
that announcement of the engage
ment was made. When they met
she was dancing at a cabaret and
he was just out of college. Many
detectives are reported to have
been engaged by Clark to Investi
gate the girl's career.
McNab is quoted as saying that
Miss McNulty and Katya Minaa-
sian are distinct Individuals and
the plaintiff Is Miss McNulty.
An order for service of the com
plaint by substitution was issued
by Supreme Court Justice Ford of
New York upon recommendation
that Clark had evaded personal
service since a definite refusal Oc
tober 3 last to marry the plaintiff.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 23. The
Examiner today styles Marguerite
McNulty as a Hollywood actress
and a former Oakland girl in refer
ring to the 3250.000 breach of
promise suit brought against Wil
liam Andrews Clark, III, by the
actress.
A copy of the complaint was re
ceived here by Gavin McNabb who
says Miss McNulty charges that
Clark met her in Los Angeles less
than a year ago and after a rapid
courtship proposed marriage and
was accepted. I-ater the girl
charges. Clark refused to marry
her and she made a special trip
to New York to remind him of his
promise.
The Examiner says Clark recent
ly announced his . engagement to
"Miss ("atherlna Minassian, former
Broadway stage favorite, who ap
peared in a series of successes.
Announcement of the engagement
waa by his father, W. A. Clark, II,
shortly before his son left on the
foreign trip."
SACRAMENTAL WINE
PERMITS REDUCED
TO CHECK ABUSES
(AwwUt-d Vrtm !xd Wir. )
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. An
other relic of pre prohibition days
has been marked for a swift end by
prohibition officials.
Some several hundred thousand
wine making .permits which have
enjoyed a quiet and nutrammeled
perpetuation of life since the years
before the Volstead Act have come
under the searchlight of the new
prohibition regime and will be re
voked under a regulation to be
promulgated, probably within the
next day or two. The permits as Is
sued allow a maximum annual pro
duction by the holder, Ui free, of
two hundred gallons. They are
held largely In the foreign quar
ters of the larger clt's and ore
suspected of contributing heavily
to Ike Illicit supply.
I Leaks of sacramental wine into
Illicit channels also are to be
plugged up. Assistant Secretary
Andrews, the treasury'? prohibi
tion field marshal, has reached an
asreement with Jewish leaders.
whose churches are the largest
users of sacramental wine, for new
regulations, expected to be Issued
this week, sharply reducing the
amount of wine now permitted to
be withdrawn for religious purposes.

lines of livestock should not be in

ditions are ideal, are the recom
mendations made by tbe livestock
group at tbe Agricultural Econom

Sheep offer the greatest oppor

lambs and urges that steps be tak
en to make "Umpqua Lambs" a
feature on hotel menus.'
Goats are also advUed as a live
stock venture, while the committee
urges the raising of more horses.
The committee's report in full Is
as follows:
The beer cattle situation In tbe
United States during the last few
years has experienced a difficult
period.' This condition appears at
this time to be somewhat relieved.
There has been a reduction In the
number of beef cattle in Oregon
during the last five years amount
ing to 18 .per cent. This reduc
tion will apparently carry through
the .?Uen Western states. On the
other hand the same per capita
consumption of beef bas been main
tained. This reduction In num-
jbers rhould eventually assist the
Ipioduier to get a little better rices
'.for his cattle. The present com
petition which comes from th! mi at
furnished through wdrn ot dairy
cows is a heaiy blow to the beef
lnierert. Thre is need at thin tlino

Sib-op production Is impor'an: to

The srorM conditions are fav .-tbl'
at this time for a continued pro-
'ductfon on the prevent plane. This
lis borne out by the fact that ex
pansion In a large way In the world
,1s out of the question, because of
the fact that all of the cheap range
I lands have been taken up. The
i influence of high prices during the
ilast few yeara has resulted In kn
j Increase in numbers of farm sheep.
I There haa also been a tendncy,
'for beef cattle growers to change
jto sheep production in the range
area. This may result in an In
i creased number of sheep and event
iually lower prices. However, over
la period of yean the Industry
'stands on a firm basis because of
I the fact that the I'nlted Slates Is
la heavy Importer of wool.
" The high price of fine wool
since the war has resulted In a
somewhat less demand, with this
has come a strengthening of the

The hog sltatlon in the state
shows a shortage. That Is Oregon

This Is due to the fact that not
enough feed grains are produced

tor the fight against 4iihercitlosis
in the country. Many people con
fuse the National Tuberculoids
Association with the Hed Cross,

seals. The two organizations,
however, are entirely separate
and distinct, and the seal sale
Is pnrely an erfnrtrto combat the
tuberculosis situation.-

sociation In this effort. ' The lo
cal association Is composed of

The two "mystery" letters.
whose Introduction in the Rhine- -lander
annulment trial caused tn 1
adjournments and rumors that tba
case would be settled out of court
jto keep them from being made pub-
morning.
They were read before a court
room that had been emptied of ail
but two women, the latter being
newspaper women. Both the let
ters were written from tbe Clift
i Hotel In San Francisco in 1922 and
I were concerned with the pre-marital
relations ot Alice Beatrice '
Joins, duttghter of a negro back
driver, and Leonard ''Kin Rhine-
lander, wealthy young society man
who Is seeking annulment, of their
marriage.
The letters have been the cen- ,
ter of a great mystery' in the case,
beginning last week when Isaac N.
Mills, couusel for young Rhineland
er, asked for a recess of several
days to give blm an opportunity to
investigate them.. They have been

; Written by Leonard, they were
held by Ihe defense to offset the
effect of Alice's letters read at the
beginning of the trial. Their con ,'
tenia admittedly were more erotic
than the love letters written by
Mrs. Ithlnelnnder. ' ' 1
When resiling of the letters be- '.
gan Alice and her mother left the
court room and remained outside ,
during the subsequent cross-examination
.on their contests.. ,
Letters Alleged Trap.
Before the Introduction of the
letters. Attorney Mills Issued a
statement charging that they wei'e
ja "deliberate attempt to trap the
I wit nens and force him 3 withdraw
'his suit." .
I Lee Psrsons Davis, counsel for
I Mrs. nhinelander and who Intro-- .
jduced Ihe "mystery" letters last
jweek, made a motion for declare-'
Itlou of mistrial when court reopen
Jed. The motion was denied by
'Justice Morsrhauser. ''
Mr. Mills, in his statement, had '
indicated that the letters, tho con
tents of wheh had been carefully,
guarded, dealt with Ithlnelander's
personal character. He charged
that thefr Introduction was an at
lept to "besmirch Ithlnelander's
character." '
Mistrial Motion Denltd.
Mr. Mills first read the tran
script of the cross examination
ilast week Immediately following ,
jibe presenting of the two "mys
itery" letters.
Hn said that the method of ques
tion was deliberate In Its Intent to
; force his rllent to withdraw. The
Metiers hsd so shocked him, he ad
'milled, that he had lost all idea ot (
I tle proper method or procedure 1
laxt week.
While Mr. Mills was making his
remarks, Mr. Davis arose and said:
"This Is a deliberate attempt to
jbilng about a mistrial.'
I After a "lively argument, finally
jscttlfd by Justice Morsrhauser,
I Mr. Mills asld: "Then we proceed
jwlth Ihe trial."
"Wult a mlnulv, t don't know
'whether we proceed or not," lqter
iiutileil Mr. Davis.
I He then asked for a flfteen-mln-lute
recess for a conference with
his nssociates. Subsequently be .
asked for a mistrial on the basis
(of prejudicial comment - having
been made In court by opposing

I Justice Morsrhauser announced
that he would give all women In
Ihe court room an opportunity to
leave before the reading of the
j letters. Few did so.
I After asking young Tthlnetander
a scries of questions as to how he
'had spent his time during the
, week-end. Mr. Davis announced
that he would read the first of the
"mystery letlors," the one which '
