tention that the war department
bad plana for defense in the Pm-lfic.
The witness added, however, thnt
thca'o plans were so highly confi
dential that they ahould not bo
talked about, and the point was not
preaaed. '
Vn Cooperation
The witness conceded that there
waa no "satisfactory cooperation"
between the army and nuvy air ser
vices, during the Hawaiian maneu
vers. .
Asked for the reason, he replied:
"The tinny and navy air services
bad not bad preliminary joint azor
claoa. They wuro. aa a result, nol
Hide to ci mbtttfl their material and
men into a smooth working ma
chine." "How would you remedy such a
situation?" ha was asked.
"By making dftterences in the tac
tical organization of the land forces
and kolding combined tests iu time
Of peace."
sCettonvers n success
The army, the general said, was
organized primarily for duty on
land, the navy for duty on w-nter,
and "they overlapped at the shore
line."
"An additional service which over
lapped both of them," ho said, re
ferring to Colonel Mitchell's pro
posal for n separate nir service,
would make co-ordination absolute
ly impossible."
The general pronounced the Ha
waiian maneuvers a "success," ex
cept that the chamber of deputies to
bo curtailed "on the ground of
economy."

Benefit Card For Unfortunate

Six New Faces Will Greet Klamath Boxing
Fans at Scandia Hall Tuesday Evening
Billy Watson and Mike De Pinto
Will Stage Main Event
Christmas spirit and charity will come into their own
ut Scandia hal! next Tuesday night when the benefit
boxing card for the unfortunate children of Klamath
will be staged by Promoter Johnnie Sylvester.
At the request of the' Evening Herald, the boxing com
mission through Sylvester and his partner, Jack Meehan,
has agreed to donate -10 per cent of the gross receipts
to the Kiddies' Christmas fund which is sponsored by
this newspaper. This money will be used in providing
Christmas gifts for the unfortunate tots of the city who
otherwise would be neglected on Christmas morning.
The card itself will be a slam-bang affair from the
curtain raiser to the main event. Incidentally, it is the
highest priced card yet staged here under the present
boxing commission, which indicates the determination to
give the boxing fans a real show.
Billy Waston, Eureka mitt wloider who meeta Mide D2 Pinto, la the
10-round main ovt-nt. is a fijener on the same crder aa Kid Starkey. He
has u slashing two-fisted style and keeps boring in continually. The

will be badly fooled.
In a four-round special event Sid Herbert of Klamath
Falls will go four rounds or less with Kid Clark, a tough
looking leather heaver from Portland. Sid is a crafty
ringman and an old timer in the squared circle. He's
been out of the game for some time, but the lure of the
t ing has called him back. He will try his best to make
quick work of the Portland scrapper so he can talk
turkey to the promoters when they are lining up future
cards. ' ".
Kid Thomas of Portland and Ed McDonald of Venice,
Cal., will open the show with a four round bout that will
be better than usually dished up to the fans as a curtain
raiser. They are both real boxers who will put the ring
worms in just the right frame of mind for the other
bouts that will follow.
By attending the boxing card Tuesday night you will
not only aid a worthy cause but will likewise see one of
the best cards that has been dished up here in a long time.

In a preliminary hearing his coun-
sel stated that his multl-mlllionalr'
I father had disinherited air- and
that he had only a $300,000 legacy
from his grandfather. It is under
stood thai the father has not ad
vanced one cent for expenses.
Costs Are Heavy
Attorney's fees, alimony, and in
vestigations have eaten up the
young 'man's fortune. One of the
most expensive items was the trac
ing of the bride's ancestry back to
England and the West Indies. An
investigator was sent to Europe sev
eral times to gather eYideme.
The expense was rendered need
less by the withdrawal at the trial
of the wife's formal denial that aho
had negro blood.
The first witness when tbo triul
reopens Monday is expected to, bo
George Jones, the wife's mulatto
father.
Wife to Testily
Mrs. Hhinclander also is expected
to testify Monday. Her attorneys
say they have only a few questions
to ask and her husband's counsel
profess to rely more on her letters
than upon her cross examination.
There is a possibility that she will
be confronted with more of her own
love letters.
"A lengthy cross examination will
not be necessary." said Isaac N.
Mills. Ithinelander's trial lawyer.
"We have her letterB, what is writ

other letters I do not intend to in

arises. I have introduced tbe most
expressive ones."
