ESTABLISHED 1873 STATE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1925 Aircraft Investigation Will Summon Colonel Mitchell AIR INQUIRY CONVENES AT WHITE HOUSE President Ccolidge Calls Air Investigation to Order MAY CALL MITCHELL Special Board Will Define Scope of Probe Into Air Defense “Washington, Sept. 17.—()— Cotonel William Mitchell, air chief at San Antonio probably will be chief witness before the Naval court which is to in- quiry into the wrecking of the Naval airship, Shenandoah. It will be the purpose to ask him to subtantiate his pub- lished charge that the accident to the Shenandoah was a direct result of “the incompetency, criminal negligence and almost treasonable administration of the national defense by the Navy and War departments.” Investigation looking to a possible court martial of the former assistant chief of the army air service is now being conducted by the War depart- ment, but officials have made it clear that this inguiry wiil not interfere with, the calling of Mit- chell as a witness either betore fhe Shenandoa’ inquiry or the président’s special aircraft board. Washington, Sept. 17.—(P)—The special bourd ‘appointed by President Coolidge to inquire into the air- craft situation organized today with the selection of Dwight W. Morrow, New York financier as chairman, Arthur C, Denison, of Grand Ra‘ pids, Michigan, was chosen vice chairman of the board, and William F. Durand of Los Angeles secretury. Holding its first meeting at the White House, all nine members of the board conferred with the Presi- dent, who presented briefly his views. After nearly two hours of discussion behind closed doors, the board recessed for a luncheon en- gagement with the President and arranged to meet later in th day. Discuss Scope In a statement issued after the morning conference, Mr. Morrow said further announcemants would - be made after the board had an oppor- tunity to discuss the scope of its work and had adopted final plans for conducting the investigation. President Coolidge gave the board the widest latitude in adopting the course it is to pursue. He holds the nine members must determine large- ly for themselves the witnesses to be summoned and the nature of the testimony to be received. The president had prepared no statement of his opinions and his ad- dress was delivered extemporaneous- ly. Washingon, Sept. 17.—(P)—The much debated question of the ade- quacy of American air power enter- ed another stage today with the con- vening at the White House of the special board appointed by President Coolidge to investigate the subject. By calling the nine board members into conference at 11 a. m. Mr. Cool- idge let it be known that he was prepared to take a hand in the bitter controversy which broke in Con- gress early last winter and now has been sharply revived by critics of the Army and Navy air service ad- ministrations. The board was closeted together to- day for purposes of organization, including the selection of a chair- man, and to map out procedure in the immense task confronting it. Define Scope In laying out its course of work, it is known the President feels that the board must decide for itself largely ‘what scope the inquiry shall take, particularly as relating to de- finite criticisms of the two air ser- vice administrations. . After the conference, the members also were invited to luncheon at the White House, but following that en- gagement the board had the remaind- er of the day for its initial study of the situation, Mr. Coolidge is known to feel that the board should hold sessions in full view of the public, except at such times as it may touch upon con-| fidential matters pertaining to the national defense. : The President has left entirely within the judgment of the board the advisability of calling Col. Wil- liam Mitchell, central figure in the controversy who since he first ap- peared before a special house air- craft committee in the last Congress, has kept up an almost continuous verbal attack on the air policies of the War and Navy departments. Contest Seizure Under Cigaret Law Fargo, N. D., Sept. 17.=(F)—A test case, to determine whether the state has the right to confiscate ci- garets and then dispose of them without first starting ceedings against the owners, or labeling the property, was instituted here by the Reinecke Tobacco Company.

Might Avert Disasters If a combined dirigible and airplane had been developed both of the re- cent naval air disasters might have been averted, experts say. They point out that the greatly in creased pressure in the helium ba of the Shanandoah, when the dirig- ible was suddenly shot to a higher altitude by a line squall, caused the framework of the craft to give way. A dirigible with airplane wings WOBBLY FILES SUIT AGAINST FARGO SHERIFF Fargo, N. D., Sept. 17.—(P)—A claim of $10,000 against the bond of John C.

If such a craft had been available for the Hawaiian flig! instead of the P-N-9, No. 1, the di ible part of it would have kept it in the air after the gas supply was exhausted and it might have drifted back over one the ;etrol ships. The necessity of landing in rough sea and the possi- ble smashing of the plane would have been averted.

And he faces the prospect of remaining there for some time. With him is Frankie Lake, his part- ner, who was released 82 days before his’ year’s sentence expired. They are in at the order of Federal Judge James H, Wilkerson after a court hearing of reaching ramifications. May Cite Sheriff As a result of the hearing Sheriff Peter H. Hoffman and half a dozen fall officials are cited to show cause ept. 22 why they should not be held in contempt of court. Druggan and Lake also are ordered to explain why they should not have another term in jail for defeating the purpose of the first contempt sentence. The judge holds that the sheriff is responsible for Druggan’s assignment. to the jail hospital as an orderly in- | stead of to a cell, for his trips to the dentist and elsewhere, for the hun- dreds of visitors allowed to see him and for the disappearance of records showing when Druggan and Lake were out and when they were Aside from the investigation of the judge, the federal grand jury is in- quiring into any possible conspiracy or connivance between the prigoners and jail officials. Federal prosecu- tors point of view is that a conviction on such a charge would bring a max- imum penalty of two years in the penitentiary and a $10,000 fine.

Bingham Washington, Sept. 17—()—Due to the diversity in legislation dealing with aircraft, a uniform federal law will again be sought in the coming session of Congress. ; Authorization for a bureau of air navigation in the Department of Commerce, to foster commercial avi- ation, is one of the proposals to be put forward in an effort to put fly- ing on a better legal basis. Senator Bingham, Republican, Conn., a wi time flyer, recently acquainted Pr ident Coolidge with his intention to push legislation for the new bureau. Last session Senator Wadsworth, Republican, N. Y., introduced a sim- ilar bill with the backing of Secre- tary Hoover, but it failed of passage. The National Aeronautic Associa- tion recently found in a survey that 13 states and 12 municipalities have laws regulating the operation of air- craft. The Territory of Hawaii was the first state or territory under the American flag to pass aerial reg- ulatory legislation, having enacted a law in 1917, although the community of Kissimmee, Florida, heat the country to it by enacting an air or- dinance back in 1908. Six states have laws prohibiting hunting from, aircraft, and eight have laws governing the | acquisition of municipal landing fields. Twenty. seven states are without air laws and eight have not replied to the Association’s inquiry. The states having regulatory « laws, with the years passed, ar California, 1921; Connecticut, 1918- 21-23; Delaware, 1923; Indiana, 1920; Kansas, 1921; Maine, 1923; Massa- chusetts, 1919-22; Michigan, 1923; Minnesota, 1921; New Jersey, 1921; Oregon, 1921-23; Utah, 1923; Ver- mont, 1923, and Hawaii, 1917.
