(AP) Colonel William Mitchell had another opportunity today to tell of his knowledge of the crash last September' of the dirigible Shenandoah, the naval court of inquiry reconvening to day to hear the air officer, now suspended from the service for five years, before winding up its affairs. Meanwhile, Secretary Davis of the war department was represented as planning means of emphasizing to any other dissenting individuals or units within the army the significance of the verdict of the Mitchell court martial. The colonel had something else to think about today, a proposal to Mayor Elect Walker of New York, that he be appointed police commissioner of that city. Dis patches from New York, however indicated that Colonel Mitchell has little chance for the post; one of the prime requirements fixed by the mayor elect is that the police commissioner be a resident of New York and the col onel is not. Mitchell himself had only a chuckle as comment on the proposal; which was made last night by Representative Bloom, democrat, New York, in a mes sage to Mr. Walker. , The Mitchell case also cropped up in Chicago over tho week end, Representative Reid, republican, Illinois, Mit chell's chief counsel, declaring that his client is a modern John Brown and that his ideas will go marching on.

On one side of tho fence was tho county budget committee, composed of the three members of tbe county court and three other citizens and J. K. Culllson, a member of the timber cruising firm which re-cmlsod 100, 000 acres of Klamath timber lund last year. On thc other was Jackson Kimball, representing ine Klamath Forest Protective association, Del Kujrkendall. representing the Woyef haousor interests. Judge O. V. Stone, representing Itichard Hovey, and Alei Hay, a representative of the I-ong-Bell Lumber company. Thc bono of contention Is tho pro vision madb by the. county budget committee for continuation of tbe county re:culse on tbe same plan as last year. Timbcrmcn state that It Is needless" and useless. They hold that the re-crnlso of the 100,000 acres last year showed such a small In crease In timber over the original county cruise, that there Is no use in spending thousands of dollars In con tinuing the re-cruise. The budget committee will en deavor to show to the satisfaction of thc timbcrmen and the public In gen eral that the re-cruise of 1 9 2 r. did show sufficient loeroase to justify a ro-crulso of tho entire county.
