Witness Admits No Navy

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. (A. P.)
So mo strong worus passing between
bar and bench, culminated today in
an apology by Brigadier General ICd
wnrd L. King, a member of the
Mitchell court martial, to Represen
tative Reid, chief counsel for tho ac
cused air colonel.
Overhearing a remark by General
King, Representative Reid interrupt
ed his cross examination of a prose
cution witness, turned suddenly on
tho general and said:
"This is not damn rot, and I ob
ject." The attorney added that wbllo his
questioning might be "tedious" ll was
necessary. 1
"I a in very sorry," said Genera 1
King, and examination of the witness
was resumed.
Tho Incident occurred a few min
utes before tho court, by pre-arrangc-ment
recessed until Monday.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 27. (A. P.)
Under a shower of objections from
the defense, which resulted in tho
production in evidence of some of
the secret files of the war depart
ment, tho prosecution in tho court
martial trial of Colonel William
Mitchell set out today to answer tho
colonel'H charges of national incom
petency in tho air.
The - firsW witness k-enUodT Briga
dier ' General leroy ISMInge, who
wan an umpire -In the recent Ha
wllan maneuvers, disputed tho de
fense contention that tho war de
partment had no plan for defense
In tho Pacific. Tho witness added,
however, that these plans wero so
highly secret that they should not bo
talked about and thu point was not
pressed.
Tho witness conceded that thoro
was no "satisfactory co-operation"
between tho army and navy air tmr
vices during the Hawaiian maneu
vers. Asked for tho reason, ho re
plied: "The army and navy air ser
vices had not had preliminary
Joint exercises. They wore, as
a ; result, not ablo to combine
their material and men Into a
smooth working machine"
"How would you romody such
a situation?" ho was uakod.
"By making differences in the
tactical organization of tho land
forces and holding combined
testa in time of peace."
The army, tho general said, was
organized primarily for duty on
land, tho navy for duty on water,
and "thoy overlapped at tho shoro
line."
"An additional service which over
lapped both of them." ho said, ro
ferriiiir to Colonel Mltohell's proposal
for a separate air service, "would
make co-ordination absolutely im
possible." Tho general pronounced tho Ha
waiian inanouvers a "success," ex
cept that they had to bo curtailed
"on the ground of economy."
Cross-examined by defense coun
sel. General Kltlngo said ho "doubt-;
cd" if the result of tho maneuvers
would "have been different If "there
bad been a unity of air command."
"Who won tho war in Hawaii?"
"No decision."
As a further explanation of tho
situation of tho air forces in Hawaii,
Major Francis M. Wllby of tho
prosecution presented a leltor from
Major General Edward M. Lewis,
Hawaltu,ii department 'commander,
which said that Major R. K. M.
Goodrich was 'uYisatlsfactory" a air
officer In Hawaii and requested that
another be uppolntcd to relieve him.
It was for this reason, Major Wtlhy
said, that Major General C. Brant,
nlr officer attached to tho general
staff, was sent to tho islands for tho
maneuvers.
General FJ tinge testified that tho
establishment of an onemy air baso
on Molakal Island "might havn a se
rious effect on Pearl Harbor In war
time."
Major Jarvls J. Rain, general staff
officer and assistant umpire of the
Hawaiian maneuvers, was questioned
regarding tho defenso project of
Oahu. Ho testified It .had been In
existence several years and that It
included a scheme for "earing for
enemy sympathisers," and tho taking
of other -precautions to assure, tho
security of that island In war.

ing Hawlian forces. Major Bain said,

TRIAL IS OVER
Disinherited By Father and

Youth Faces Pauperism As
Result of Court Action to
Get Rid of Wife.
SKW VOI tK, Nov. '11. (A. P.)
The fortune of young I,eonard Kip
U)inclander is fiint diHappcurlng aa
his suit to annul bin mnrrlagn to tho
daughter of a negro taxi driver pro
ceed:, There nre Indications he will
bo practically pQni;l!ns when tho trial
ends. i -
I u a preliminary hearing his coun
sel stated that his multl-milllnmitrn
father had disinherited him nnd Hint
he had only a $:Ml0,of)0 legacy from
his grandfather. It h understood that
the father has not .dvaneod ono cont
fni" cxirensfB. .- 'T
, Attorney's fees, n Imnny nnd Inves
tigations have call n up the young
man's fortune. -
One of the most expennlvo Horns
was the tracing of Hi i bride's nnceatry
buck to Knglttnd and the West Indies.
An investigator was sent to Kuropo
several times to gather evidence. The
expense was rendered needless by the
withdrawal at the beginning of the
trial o tfho wife's formal denial that
she had negro blood.
Tho first witness when the trial re
opens Monday Is expected to bo
Georgo Jones, , tho wlfo'a mulatto
father.
Mrs. Pihlnelandor also la expected
to testify Mundny, Her attorneys say
they have only a few questions to ask
and her husband's counsel profess to
rely more on her letters tjum upon hor
cross examination.
There is a possibility that she wltl
bo confronted with more of her own
love letters.
"A lengthy cross examination will
ant be necessary," said Isaac N. Mills.
Tthlnelander's trial lawyer. "Wo have
hor letlei-H. ' What Is written Is writ
ten. I have a lot of other letters I
do not intend to Introduces unlos
something unexpected arises. I have
Introduced tho most expressive ones."
Rhlnelander plana to take tho stand
again to deny testimony Wednesday
of Itoss ChldcHtnr, former chauffeur
for Philip TOiinclandcr, that he told
his employer's son three years before
his marriage that tho father of Alice
Jones wan colored.
Predictions wero made that tho case
would reach tho Jury by Thursday.
