WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l. (By Associated Press.) The war de partment temporarily: lifted its ban on Colonel William Mitchell today and he harried out of the district of Washington limits for the first t;ine since he arrived from Texas to face court martial. Under the special dispensation. Col. Mitchell was permitted to visit overnight his homestead and stables at Middieburg, Va. VASHINGfON, Oct. 31. (By Associated Press.) The court foartial trial of Colonel William Mitchell, based on charges specify ing conduct prejudicial to military discipline and good order as a re sult of his utterance in the air controversy, stood in recess today, while the counsel for the prosecu tion and defense secretly planned the methods of procedure they will follow when the' trlal is resumed Monday.- ' ' 1 v :X '- " Colonel Mitchell and his civilian counsel Representative Frank.' R. Reid of Illinois, had two tentative plans under consideration,, but neither would say whether an at tempt to put them before the court Monday would be made. One was to request that Presi dent Cool Id ge be summoned as a witness, or asked to make a depo sition concerning the, accusations against the air service. The alter native plan was to renew the chal lenge as to the. court's jurisdiction to try Colonel Mitchell on the con tention that it was irregular and illegal for tbe accuser to act as the final reviewing officer and to pass judgment oh the accused. Mr. Reid attaches' importance to the admission made-by. Colonel Sherman Moreland trial judere -ad voeater thatVthetlriatfP "6t"C6ttinel Mitchell was ordered by President Coolidge. the secretary of war act mg as his agent, and not by either ot the defendant's commanding of ficers. Major General Ernest Hinds of the Eight Corps area, or Briga dier General Samuel Rockenbach, counsel lays his contention that the president has become the ac cuser of Colonel Mitchell. Despite the ruling of the court that the war secretary had power to convene it for .trial of the air officer and bad been to all intents and purposes the commanding of ficer ofHColonel Mitchell, Mr. Reid holds that the president is actual ly; the accuser and judge. War department legal officers, oh the other hand, - were equally certain today that the trial offi cer, who has power to subpoena witnesses, would refuse ' any re quest for President Coolldge's summons or for a deposition if a plea for such action was made. by Mr. Reid. Despite Long Extended Dry Per iod, Blazes Are Kept Under Control A statement issued Saturday by State Forester F. A. Elliott shows that fires and-fire losses 'within the state on lands coming under the jurisdiction" of his office were far less than last year, and this In spite of the fact that - long ex tended dry period made conditions exceedingly favorable .for disas trous fires. A total of 840 tires vere suppressed by the field crew this year as against 188S In 1924,. Lightning is -credited with the greatest number, 186 in all. incen diarism is 'second with 154 and smokers third with 107. One note worthy feature of fire causes is the falling off in the number of hunt er fires. Only 24 Is credited to tjhis cause and a number of them were caused by hunters who were In. the woods before the season Opened. The small number is un questionably due to the changing Of the opening of the deer season from August 20 to September 10, thereby serving' to keep hunters ut of the woods during what is Ordinarily a bad fire period. The total area burned over is placed at 51,144 acres, resulting In the destruction or 6,509.000 feet of timber, valued at approxi mately 15,000. Logging operators suffered a loss of $85,692. due to fires in their operations, uver half of this loss was caused by one fire which occurred the fore 'pan bf August In ' Columbia county,-! Loss in improvements other than logging equipment was $70,919, The total cost of fire suppression, exclusive of patrol, was slightly less than $100,000. COURT RULING ATTACKED i .. ATTORNEYS CLASH OVER MEANING OF WORD "DEAR" NOBLES VILLE, Jnd., Oct. 3 1. (By Associated Press.) -r- A sharp clash of counsel over a rul ing, of Judge ; Will .Sparks on a statement by Madge Oberholtzer quoted by Levi Thomas, Pullman norter, on the witness stand brought - today's session of the Stenhenson murder trial to a sen sational finish. ' r . f"-'Thomas, testifyingj&n -cross ex amination regarding, remarks heard the girl make In the Pull man compartment during her al leged abduction to Hammond by C. D. Stephenson and Earl Gentry, quoted her as saying to Stephen son, "Oh, dear, put that gun away." "Oh," said Eph Inman, defense counsel, "and what else did she call him?" The state Immediately objected to the construction put by Inman on the word "dear" and the judge upheld the - objection, saying that the Word might have been: used in fear or terror instead of as a term of endearment. The defense took vigorous exception to the court's remarks, saying the ques tion was one for the jury 'to de cide and court adjourned in con fusion.

The state department ot edu cation is mailing a supply of pro grams for American Education Week to the county school super intendents. Superintendent! Chur chill Is ; asking the cooperation ot the schools and - various civic organizations in the proper ob servance of American Education Week. The foreword of the pamphlet is as follows: Under the joint auspices of the United States Bureau of Educa tion, the Americas Legion, and the National Education Associa tion, every state in the Union will celebrate the week November 16 22 as American Education Week. "The State' Department of Edu cation for Oregon is, therefore, asking the school teachers of this state to secure the cooperation ot the representatives of the Amer ican Legion and of the Oregon State Teachers' Association in car rying out a program In their re spective communities thai will bring about a more intensive in terest in the work of the public schools. ' i The national authorities have assigned a special topic for each day, and their suggestion has been followed in the preparation of this pamphlet. It ia expected, how ever, that ' in the rural schools each teacher will use her own initiative, and in the larger sys tems the superintendent will ap point a committee representing the cooperating interests, and that this program will simply act as a helpful guide in arranging for an effective observance of American Education Week. Many of our cities have from one to three service clubs, which meet weekly on different days as well as the regular meeting of the chamber of commerce. They al so have the Parent-Teacher Asso ciation and various, women's clubs. Each of these clubs will be glad to have the program for the day ob served : at its weekday luncheon if arrangements are made in time. DEM0LAYS DROP FRIARS MEMBERS RELIEVED OF OF FICES AND ACTIVITIES Letters have been received by members ot the Friars' club who ere also members of the DeMolay, jenior Masonic order, that they bad been dropped from all offices and, committee work' in conjunc tfon with the De Moiay order. There Is 110 reason advanced in the letter but it is generally nn derstood that the action was taken because of the suspension of the Friar-De Molays from school last week for violation of the secret club ruling ot the school board. Several members of the ' Friars' club took the position that it this organization was abolished the same ruling should apply to mem bers of the De Molay. The 17 suspended boys are slat ed to resume studies at the high school Monday. ! a : ; 1 ' Successor to Late Dr. Camp bell Not Yet Chosen by Board of Regents SALARY IS INCREASED Raise of (2,000 la Voted Unani mously; Faculty Accused of Opposition to an Early Election PORTLAND.
