So suc cessful has been the policy of oil ing macadam highways in eastern Oregon and -on the Mount Hood loop, that the highway commis sion today announced that it would have nearly three times us many miles under oil In 1926 as there were in 1,925. The oiling, in addi tion to giving a good surface practically amounts to mainten ance. - The oil will be spread as fol lows: All of tho old Oregon trail, whero there Is no hard surface pavement; Wlllamtna to Hebo, To ledo to Newport, Biggs to Wasco, Coquille to Myrtle Point, Mount Hood loop, Medford trail, Lava Butte to Laplne, Bend-Redmond and Prineville, Suefdrt to Dufur, Klamath. Falls to Keno, Klamath Falls to Modoc Point, Island City io Elgin. Only $500,000 Left A glimpso of the financial sheet of the highway commission dis closes that there remains available for new construction only $500, 000. It should be borne In mind, however, that there Is a large amount of construction now under contract, which will keep the work moving throughout the coming year. Lack of sufficient funds pre vents the commission from starting a number of projects which re quire heavy financing. One of these enterprises Is the Lowell-Oakridge section of the Willametto h.ghway, which Lane county officials have been striv ing In vain to have started. The county has $256,000 of bond money and enough other money available to contribute $300,000 onr the An estimate submitted from the United States bureau of public roaus snows mat tne cost of the section amounts to $890,000. The Highway commission had supposed the cost would be approximately $400,000 or $500,000 and the com missioners threw up their hands when they studied the federal es timates. Throe Jobs Advertised After a careful survey of the projects which should be advanced -o complete gaps, the commission decided to advertise three Jobs for the next meeting, January 19, hjzo. rnese are live mties of grnd.ng on the Redwood highway, north of Klrby; 10 miles of sur facing on the Roosevelt highway between Cannon Beach and Ham let Junction and the bridge across tne sueiz river. A suggestion was made to limit truck loads on all the paved high ways leading out from Portland but after debating the pros and cons for an hour tho commission decided to shelve tho problem for the time being. Land Donation Promised Tho Oregon trunk informed the commission it would donate four acres where tho Crooked river bridge crosses. Adjoining these four acres, C. W. Wanzer, division engineer of the department, has 40 acres which ho will turn over to the commission for a public park. The slto Is one overlooking pic turesque scenery In tho Deschutes canyon. Heretofore the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph company has been permitted to use state highwny bridges free. Tho com pany has applied for permission to string its cables on the new Al bany bridge nnd the commission agreed to Issue the permit, provid ing the corporation contributes $100 a year to tho highway depart ment for tho privilege.

SIGNS OF IMPEACHMENT STIR MITCHELL COURT MAJOR GULlirON MAIN FIGURE IN TURBULENT SESSION Military Counsel for Defense BrlngH Contempt Chorees Against Officer (Tly The Asaoclated Freaa) WASHINGTON, Dee. 9. Pro ceedings of the Mitchell court mar tial were enlivened today by signs of Impeachment and perjury and a motion that one of the prosecution counsels be placed in contempt of court. Added to these - irregularities were questions of courage, renewed demands by the court for order ana mixed but loud manifesta tions of commendation and dis pleasure by spectators who crowd ed the room. Major Allan Gulllon, assistant trial judgo advocate, stood out as the principal figure in the turbu lent forenoon session. . It was hej wmu iiuruaucea iapiam xnomas peucn tne accused as a witness. ' brought from duty with the bat tle fleet In the Pacific, and started to offer evidence that Colonel Mitchell "deliberately cribbed wiinout permission or authority" substantial parts of the book "Winged Defense." Attempt to ImDcach Mada Before the court ruled out the major's plea and other references to the book's authorship, he ar gued that the evidence he sought to oner was "admissible to Im peace the accused as a witness." To this Representative Frank Reid. chief defense counsel, replied with heat, advising the court that there was nothing in the record to sug gest that Colonel Mitchell had perjured himself, and asserting that the book contained passages showing it had been compiled from Information taken from "existing recoraB," puouc journals, coneres. sional data and personal experi ences of the writer. Major Gullion's declaration that the rule "false In one, false in an," applied as a justification for the admission of Captain Hart's testimony brought a sharp retort irom Mr. Keid who-said, referring to opposing counsel, ' that a "fool in one tning was a .fool In every thing." Evidence Rejected Before As soon as the court announced its decision to throw out all men tion of the incident, Colonel Her bert A, WhWe, : Srlllttary counsel for the defense, - came to hlB'feet with a motion that Major Gulllon be placed in contempt of court for his action for attempting to bring in evidence which had twice before been ; rejected. -The- court's law member. Colonel- Winship-, held, however.'that the major had. on the previous-- occasion; ! an nounced his intention to renew ef forts to-have-the. 'evidence ' ac cepted by the court and could not Be adjudged In contemnt. During the afternoon - session while the court was hearing How ard C. -Rath.. Los - Angeles' war veteran,, tell how his - day bom bardment squadron had suffered from anti-aircraft fire and weather conditions during the St. Mihiel offensive, Mr. Reid caused another flurry, asking if the witness had been afraid of anti-aircraft gun fire. This remark was greeted with hisses .from some .of the specta tors and led Brigadier General Edward I. Klne tn tell Mr TtnlH that a man might "do - things even it ne naa pnyslcal lear." Loud applause ' welcomed the general's opinion, compelling Ma jor General Robert L. Howze, president, to instruct the military court guard to "keep order."

'Wood alcohol would have showed in tho alcohol fraction in our test, and this was so small that we did not test furthor to de termine what proportion of it might bo wood alcohol. Wood alco hol is not so poisonous as some are led to bellevo It to be, ana If thero had been the quantity you suggest in the man's stomach. It would have been indicated.". He added that fusel oil In liquor Is not regarded as a lethal element.
