"It is plain," says the opinion, "that
governmental agencies entrusted with
the police power, as the city of Port

Otherwise it would be permissablo to

MRS. STILLIV1AN
Wife of Banker and Young
Fowler McCormick Admit
Warm Friendship, But Deny
They Plan to Marry Di
vorce Agreement Reached.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3. (A. P.)
Mrs. Anne U. Stillnian denies that
she and young Fowler McCormick of
Chicago plan to marry after she ob
tains a divorce from James A. Htlll
mnn. "I am too old nnd he Is too
young," she has informed a repre
sentative of the New York World,
answering il direct question.
Interviewed nt her camp at
Grande Anse, Canuda, where Mr.
McCormlek -is visiting her, - Mrs.
Stillman admitted the World says in
a copyright article today, that she
and her husband have reached' an
agreement ns to a divorce. A mu
tual friend ncted mediator last sum-,
mer. - All that remains Is to reach
an agreement as to a money settle
ment before proceeding with her
suit. Mr. Stillmnn agreed onoe be
fore five years ago to, permit her to
divorce him, she said, then started
"his unpleasant suit."
Drossed In a brilliant short red
velvet Jacket,- short plain skirt nnd
wearing beaded moccasins - and a
necklace of large pearls, Mrs. Htlll
man was putting to bed Haby Ouy,
whose paternity wus disputed in the
unsuccessful divorce suit brought by
her husband.
Mrs. Htltlmnn ' snys that she and
her husband aro "good friends,' now
and that their children visit him
whenever opportunity offers. Ho Is
giving her an allowanco of $500 n
month, the amount decided by the
oourt, pending settlement of his suit.
As to reports of a marriage with
Mr. McCormick, tho World says:
"They deny It singly and together,
but do not deny the grent bond of
sympathy between them."
Hhe did not seem displeased thnt
the question was asked, nor did Mc
Cormlrk. In New York, when Informed of
Mrs. Htlllmnn's statement about the
dlvnrc suit, her attorney, Isaac N.
Mills, said: "I nm sure u nils
tnke has beet made."

Air Critic Allowed By Court
Martial to Call Higher-Ups
in Air . Service Plea for
Dismissal of Charges De
niedCourt Adjourned Till
Monday.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. (A. P.)
The court martial trying Colonel
William Mitchell held today that ha
was within his rights In asking for
the testimony of a long list of wit
nesses, including three cabinet of
ficials, In defending himself against
the disciplinary charge growing out
of his attack on the government's
air policy.
After the court had examined the
: department, Wilbur of the navy de
partments ana jaraine ot tne agn-.
culture department; fiverett -Sanders,
secretary to President Coolldge and
many high ranking army and navy
officers as well as others in civil
life who have had contact with
aeronautics.
Some of those named ure In Hono
lulu and other distant places and
It was indicated that no decision had
been reached as to whether all of
them would be brought ' here. .- The
action of the court apparently means
that Colonel Mitchell will, be given a -frerhand
in threshing out the Whole
aircraft controversy ln court. In an
attempt to prove that he was Justi
fied In charging that the army and
navy air services were being admin
istered with criminal and almost
treasonable neglect of the best In
terests "of the country.
Voluminous documents now ln the
government's files, including war and
navy department records and copies
of such letters as may have been
written and received by President
Coolldge in regard to the air con
troversy, are called for as a part
of the case of the defense.
Whether the right of Jh court
martial to demand access to' all of
these documents will be recognised
by the White House and the depart
ments concerned, remains undis
closed. A trial running Into aoveral weeks
now seems certain and as a result
a debate over the government's air
craft program doubtless will be car
ried over into the next session of
congress which begins early next
month.
The president's air board, which
already has been over ,much of the
ground to be covered ln the Mitchell
defense, has under consideration a,
report which It had hoped to submit
before congress .convenes.
Mitchell Over-Itulcd
WASHINGTON, Nov. i. (A. P.)
Colonel William Mitchell again was
overruled by the general court mar
tial trying htm todny when he sought
to have the charges against him dis
missed on the plea that the prosecu
tion had no proof of his guilt.
The decision was handed down
without delay after an argument of
counsel during which defense counsel
doclnred the prosecution had rested
yesterday without producing "one
scintilla" of proof that the air officer
violated army discipline by his utter
ance ln the uir controversy. This'
contention the prosecution denied. '
Representative Held of Illinois,'
Mitchell's counsel, argued that no de-1
rense testimony will he necessary, be
