Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 7. (By

and leader of what is termed the
'reformed Adventist church
movement does not develop to the
point of realization within the

of Mrs. Rowen's faith are able

Grtmmel explained to the expect

only one other of the twelve of
the College View believers In the

Gammel went to the back porch
soon after midnight to see if the

Washington, Feb. 7. Making
his first public statement regard
ing the row that has centered,
about Brigadier General Mitchell,
assistant chief of the army air
service. Secretary Weeks today de
clared that those who disagree
with General Mitchell had been
the targets for unjust and "super
cilious" criticism.
Before passing judgment, the
secretary said, it would be well for
the country to remember that the
opponents of the Mitchell air
policies included Generul Pershing
and many of the other great fig
urea of the American war army.
"It is Incredible" continued
Mr. Weeks, "that these officers
should wish to take any course
relatifig to the development of the
air service which would not be the
best Interest of the future defense
of the United States."
The war secretary 's statement
was issued while the house air
craft committee was being told by
Captain A. W. Johnson, assistant
chief of the naval air service that
some of General Mitchell's most
sweeping statements to the com
mittee about the results of joint
army-navy maneuvers could not
be substantiated by the facts.
In an indirect reference to the
general's charge that officers are
"afraid to tell the truth, ' for fear
of discipline. Captain Johnson
said he had asked Secretary Wil
bur whether there would be ob
jection to giving the committee
certain official correspondence
and the secretary had replied:
''Tell everything you know."
Secretary Weeks did not touch
directly In his statement on the
question of General Mitchell's re
appointment as assistant chief of
the air service which is being held
in abeyance.

lio'.b men were called to nation
al guard headquarters und officers
told them the boring downward

cuveru prisoner. Their activity,
especially Geralds criticism of th.'

presence undesirablo because it
slowed the work. It ei'.her man

Both agreed not to offer further
interference.
Slowly the shaft was going
down. Early today it hud gong lo

that much more to go. It probably
will bo 48 hours before an open

Testing drilling was discon

reached limestone at a depth of 40
feet. Dr. W. B. Funkhouser, geol

the drill had reached the cup rock

Willamette Reached Crest
At 20.7 Feet Last Night
And Drops During Day
Little Damage.
The Wilamette river at Saiein
reached Its crest ot 20.7 feet u!jgv
normal Jate last night. By 7 -
o'clock this morning It hud fallen
to 20.4. At 2:i0 p. in. it passed
the 20-foot mark. Indication
pointed to a more rapid thop by
uighUall.
A report given out by the
weather bureau this morn in a;
stuted that the Willamette river
at Albany had fallen 1.1 feet theie
since last night, the record ihil
morning being 22.3 feet. The
Santiam river at Jefferson feil .8
ot a foot during the nigh., having
atood at 9.3 late yesterday.
At Spaulding's lumber mill only
enough fires were kept In tho fur
naces to keep the boilers wirm.
Officials ot the company stated
that the mill wouid probably have
to remain closed down until next
Tuesday, Indications being that it
would be impossible to bring logs
down the river until that lime
Af-itfe from the shortage of log
the flood has not resulted, in any
damage to the mill. A drop ot
five fee, below the present level
will be necessary before more log
cau be brought to the mill.
Expectations are that the North
western will resume operations
between Salem and Portland e.irly
next week, probably Mouday. Offi
cials of the company stated this
morning that a drop ot two and a
halt feet at Oregon City would
be necessary before the boat could
be taken down through the locks
there. Two and a half feet at
Oregon City would mean nearly
five feet here, they said.
A drop in temperature last
night, wlh the mercury goin;r as
low as 39 degrees at Salem, was
believed to mean freezing tempera
ture farther back In the hill,
which would cause the water to
seep litto the streams more slowly
than otherwise.
