MITCHELL'S
TRIAL WILL
BE RESUMED
Stormy Petrel's Effort to
Throw Out Case ' Before
Court Martial Fails Avi
ator's Attorney Flays Court
and Methods Adopted
Secret Session Is Held
U'AKllIXO.TOX, Oct. 29. (A. P.)
Colonel William Mitchell failed today
In two attempts to halt the court
martial proceedings against him.
The court overruled successively nn
objection to its Jurisdiction and an
exception to the form in which the
case wiis prepared.
When the court re-con voncd,
Colonel Morelnnd declared precedents
bad established the power of the
president to convene a general court
martial without charges emanating
from commanding officers of the
accused.
1'roceduro in the present case, he
assured the court, was "regulur and
in uceordance with tho law."
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. (A. P.)
Colonel William Mitchell's plea of Im
munity from military trial on the
charges pending; against him was
overruled today in tho generul court
niiirtlal proceedings against him.
This opinion, whose effect is merely
to sustain the jurisdiction of the court
and make It possible to proceed with
the trial, was approved by the court
Itself alter a short consultation in
secret. ' . '
The law officer, Colonel lilniiton
Wlnship, gave his opinion after the
court, the prosecution and the defense
had agreed to leave the point to him,
but in rendering his decision he asked
that specific court approval bo given.
An effort to have the court voto on
that apm-oval in public was blocked
by an objection by Brigadier General
Frank R. McCoy, commander of the
third i n fun try brigade, Kort Sum
Houston, Texas, Colonel Mitchell's
last station. The court then retired
and took a secret vote, returning after
only a short interval to announce its
approval.
The ruling applied specifically only
to that specification ill the charges
which applied to Colonel Mitcholl's
first Bun Antonio Btntement criticizing
the conduct of the air services, but it
was in the nature of a test, and one
by one tho court proceeded in rapid
ortler to overrule Mitchell's objections
to Its right to try him on the remain
ing counts. i
Reid Flays Decision.
Itcprescntutlve Held of Illinois,
counsel for Colonel Mitchell, then
moved that all the charges ho stricken
out. Ilo said the court's record failed
to show that the commanding officer
accused had ordered the charges
against the defendant invostlgalcd or
had himself Investigated the charges
as areiUircd by court martial regula
tions. "If Colonel Mitchell had been guilty
of any offense," Mr. Held said, "it
ihoiild have been charged by his com
manding officer at that time Major
General Rrncst Hinds, in charge of
the Kighth corps area at Ban Antonio.
"The record does not show that
General Hinds, or lirlgadicr General
Itockenbach, commanding the district
of Washington, thought any crime had
been committed.
"Where then, does this strange
power come from that stretches out
over theso two commands? It docs
not come from the officers under
whom Colonel Mitchell served in
Texas or In whose jurisdiction he Is
at present."
Colonel Moreland. for the prosecu
tion, replied that it was not required
under the court martial regulations
that either General Hinds or General
Kockcnhacli i actually bring the
charges.
"This Is a presidential court," de
clared Colonel Moreland.- "There Is
no requirement that I he regulations
shall bo carried out explicitly, so lon-4
as Iho substance Is there."
Explanation Ridiculed. '
The charges are signed by an
officer In the Judge advocate general's
office at Washington and Colonel
Moreland said tha president had desig
nated that officer to act as accuser,
"as he has a right to do as commander
in chief of the army and navy."
The reference to the "presidential
court" brought Mr. Held to his feet.
"I hato to think this Is a case where
necessity knows no law." he said.
"What strange power Is this wo are
facing? This Is an abnormal caso,
, Indeed.
"Von d-O't mean) toll me that the
.president himself had these charges
.prepared? The trial officer doesn't
'know what he says unless my ears
hsve deceived me. The president
didn't make these charges."

Her to Protect Americans in

U. S- Destroyers Enroute
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. (A. P.)
Ambassador Herrick In Paris has
made representations to the French
government for protection of Amer
ican life and property In Damascus.
Instructions for the ambassador tn
make the move were forwarded" when
word ot the disorders In Syria was
received. The Washington govern
ment also has sent two American
destroyers from Gibraltar to Alexan
dria, Egypt, where they are ready to
proceed to Beirut should the situation
require further steps to safeguard
Americans and tholr property.
It wnn estimated by officials here
that about IHO Americans probably
were in Damascus or its immediate
vicinity when the revolt anairjt
French authority occurred in that city
last week.
Reports as to damage done by the
bombardment of certain quarters ot
Damascus by French artillery and air
planes have not disclosed the extent
ot any Injury to American property.
So far as' known no Americans were
hurt and the representations made in
Paris were of a genoial nnd precau
tionary nature, as was the action of
the American consul in Damascus in
advising Americans to take refuge at
Holrut until order had been restored.
Tlio Instructions to Ambassador
Ilorrick directed hi in tn request tho
French government to tnlto neceBsary
steps for tho protection of American
lives ami property and of American
consulates, not only in Damascus, but
olsewhero in Syria.
Official roports from Damascus
show that while French residents
were moved to hurt-leaded positions

ceeded without notlco to other for
