Mildred Stewart has been awarded a verdict for $2,750 against the Old Colony Laundry by a jury in Cireuit Division 1, before .Justice Hoehl- ing. The plaintiff alleged that in March, 1924, while she was employed on a pressing machine in the laundry, her hand was caught in the machine and badly injured, which she claimed caused her much pain and suffering and required medical attention for some time.

Failure to perceive this underlies the argument t the counsel for defense.” Col. Moreland quoted various prece- dents in civil law in support of his rgument. He pointed out that there are exceptions to what appear to, be constitutional provisions. For instarice, he pointed out to counsel for defense the constitutional guarantee of uld not permit a man in a theater and cause counsel’s inter pretation of the first amendment of the Constitution, he held, is incon- sistent with article 1, section 14, which makes rules for the govern. nd regulation of the Army and “p I soldier can’t P without law nnot The powers of the Army and Navy establishments are nullified, he de if the defense counsel's inter- pretation is correct. “Therefore,” he concluded, “his defense must be - Argument Favors Mitchell. Mitchell's counsel jumped up, marching to the court’s table, Say: Col. and, e distinguished t vocate might couldn’'t make a better argument our behalf than that-just made. There was no question of discipline or in- subordination. He didn’t say any law had been violated, but he did mention tradition.” Taking up the Townsend case, which Col. Moreland had referred to, Representative Reid characterized it ‘malicious case.” e explained it involved a newspaper editor who was a reserve officer on active duty. In this latter capacity he wrote sev- ersl bitter articles against his com- manding officer and placed them In his desk. Some one got into the desk and published them. The officer-e tor, Mr. Reid continued, was tried by court-martial, but, “it was held there was ro proof he gave the papers to the press. The court further held he had a right to criticise as he saw things.” Mr. Reid told the court if some one ng to him a ruling paraliel o the present case, he would admit the body had jurisdiction in the matter. “Here there is no standard or test. If you can say there is a crime, a law and punishment, it exists only in the mind of the accuser. I could take each member of the court and find he had a of Col. Mitchell. Are we getting back to the old Spartan system where, if would vote to banish him?” Sees Blow at Pruth-Telling. Continuing on the basis that there is no real precedent, no standard with ure the charges against Col. Mitchell, Mr. Reid declared: “This is about equivalent to attempting to lynch truth-telling. Eve man who thinks or acts on this subject,” the hief counsel for defense continued, “wlll inevitably get back to the same He might travel north or south, but eventually he will be drawn back to the same poloriza- tlon—were these statements of Col. Mitchell made in good faith by a man who honestly belleves he was merely doing his duty toward his country. “There is not a person in this room, and 1 believe T could poll every mem- <ult. who believes Col. Mitchell would Jisobey the slightest command. No Imatter what the order, I am sure you think he would obey it. There is no question of insubordination here. It is simply a question of a difference opinton. Is there a man in this Toom who believes Col. Mitchell sought to attack, slander or libel any officer or that he attempted mutiny? { am sure you believe with me that there is none.” Submits Coolidge Speech. Col. Moreland, just before the court went Into closed sesslon to discuss the plea of jurisdiction, submitted for in- clusion in the record a verbatim copy of President Coolidge’s address at the Naval Academy, which the defense Qquoted yesterday to show that the President himself entegtained no ob- jection to officers of ' the Nation's armed forces offering criticisms of conditions they belleved to be deroga- torv to the interests of the country. The court remained closeted for about 15 minutes, and upon returning, Col. Blanton Winship, the law mem- ber, asked the opinion of the counsel for the defense and the trial judge advocate as to whether or not the plea to jurisdiction was a question that should first be passed upon by the law member and then, if the de- cision wero unsar't:lgfwtory, be consid- y the cou e"]gcl?\!é sustained in this view by counsel for :géh sides, Col. Winship n announced: R mat it is my opinion that the plea to jurisdiction should be overruled, and 1 so recommend.” Brig. Gen. Frank R. McCoy, a mem- ber of the court, then formaily object- ed to the law member’s decision, and Maj. Gen. Howze ordered the court clesed again so that its entire mem- bership might ballot on the plea. Such a procedure, it was pointed out, mere- 1y carried out the usual order of pro- ceeding at a general court-martial and should not be regarded as an indica- tion of how any member of the court felt regarding the discussion. On_their return to the courtroom the president made this announce- ment: “The court desires ta announce | Benjamin that under the thirty-first article of wur the opinion of the law member is made the ruling of the court and will stand as such.” Col. Winship then said: the second specification ninety-sixth article of war it is my opinion that the Jurisdiction be overruled and recommend.” Brig. Gen. Ewing E. Booth arose and said: “I object to the opinion of the law member of the court.” The court was then cleared and on jts return after u moment’s deliberation the president made the same nouncement for the se specific tion he did 1 st. Col Winship then recommended the plea to jurlsdiction on the third specifica tion be overruled and Brig. Gen George LeR. Irwin objected. The court was cleared, and the president again announced the opin- jon of the law member would stand, and when Col. Winship recommended the plea to jurisdiction on the fourth specification Brig. Gen. Edwin B. ‘Winans objected. The same procedure the remaining four specifications. Each time the opinion of the law member was made the ruling of the court and would stand. The president, Brig. Gen. Edward L. King. objected to the fifth specification: Maj. Gen A. Poore objected to the | sixth, Gen. Booth to the seventh and Gen. Trwin to the eighth the court filed in on the seventh fication, Col. Winship whispered Moreland: hat was . the wasn't it?" ‘and on being straightened out in the tangle by the triai judge advocate, the last one was taken up. Holds no Specific Charges Made. After the plea to jurisdiction had been disposed of Col. Mitchell's coun- sel moved that the charges be stricken out on the ground that no specific charges were mentioned and that prodedure as set down in the manual for courts-martial leading up | to trfal had not been followed. The defense maintained that there was no investigation either in Texas or in the district of Washington of Col. Mitchell's statements and there was no formal recommendation by his commanding officers that court- martial be held. “Where is this strange power com- ing from that reaches over the heads of commanding officers?” asked Rep- resentative Reld. “If that is permit- ted you are merely figureheads and are not in command of vour areas. They can run your discipline please. According to militar these proceedings ere irregular. 2 ther, we are entitled to have specifica- tons on what the prosecution claims is the offense.” “As to der the charges, plea to 1 so followed for seventh, a Present Case Unusual. The trial judge advocate responded that the present case was very “un- nd it was prepared with the allowing the court to decide the specific offense. He sald the specifications were accompanied by the accused’s own statement, and “it stain the allega- s, that is all we intended to do. It is'a matter for court to take this article—the fairest thing in the world for the accused—and then de- termine if he violated the provisions of the ninety-sixth article of war.” The argument continued back and forth, each side reiterating its pre- vious stand until the president of the court called a recess for luncheon until 2 o'clock. Study Question of Procedure. After luncheon the court had be- fore ft the allimportant question, raised by the defense, as to whether the charges filed against Col. Mitchell had originated after a formal investi- gatlon, as prescribed specifically in the manual governing court-martial pro- cedure, and were forwarded through regular channels, as outlined therein. Representatvie Reid contended that | the exact procedure outlined by the President and approved by Congress had not been followed In the investiga. tion which led to the filing of the eight specifications against the Air Service officer. He pointed out that the ac- cused had been furnished with a state- ment explaining what investigation had been made and what the charges were. He emphasized, however, that nowhere in these papers was it stated that Mitchell had been investigated by order of his commanding officer or that the charges leveled against his client had been forwarded through the commanding officer as required by the manual. Col. Moreland replied that there had been an investigation and that the commanding officer of Mitchell's juris- diction had not been brought into the trial because this was a presi- dential court-martial. A commanding officer, he contendgd, if such proced- ure were followed, might prevent the President’s orders from being directly executed. He asserted that Col. Mitchell had been haled before the court by perfectly legal processes. Representative Reld then called upon Col. Herbert White, Mitchell's military counsel, for a further ex- planation of the regulations affecting the drawing up of charges against an accused officer. He read several passages from the official manual stat- ing that there must be full prelimi- nary investigation of the alleged of- fenge and including examination of witnedses and calling of the defendant to testify in his own behalf, if he so desired, and that from this probe the formal charges, if any were warrant- ed, must be preferred. Representative Reld caustically crit- icized the formulation of the charges against Col. Mitchell and declared that apparently Judge Advocate Moreland belleved this case to be outside of the regulation. He declared that Mitch- ell's commanding officer had played no part in the preparation of charges allegedly in disregard of those specific procedures demanded by the manual and sought to show that because of this so-called irregularity all of the charges should be thrown out. Disagrees on Procedure. “I agree fully with Col. Moreland when he said there should be an in- vestigation before charges are made,” Representative Reld stated. “The President in this manual has said ex- actly how such investigations should be conducted. If the rules in this court- martial manual can be set aside when- ever one so desires they ought to put a star in here with a foot note read- ing, ‘This doesn’t mean anything, however’. Everything a court-martial should do is covered here. There are no exceptions noted whatever."” At this juncture Representative Reld asked if the members of the court had been furnished with the of- ficial report of the investigation made prior to Mitchell's arrest. Col. More- 1and said that they had not, pointing out that the rules provide that the judges shall be supplied only with the formal charges against the accused. Representative Reid came back with the statement that is client had been served with this report and that he wished to incorporate it in the pro- ceedings or else have Col. Mitchell take the stand and testify regarding the investigation to which he was subjected. There was a brief discussion be- tween counsel as to just how this should be done after the trial judge advocate had announced he had no objections to the report being put in HINGTON SPEAKER ATTACKS SOCIAL SNOBBERY Hits Race Prejudice at Final Congregationalist Session at Auditorium. Social snobbery was flayed by Rev. Dr. Albert W. Palmer of Oak Park, I, in an address on “Creating Brotherhood,” which featured the clos- Ing session of the twenty-first biennial gathering of the National Council of Congregational Churches in the Wash ington Auditorfum late yesterday aft ernoon. Stamping social snobber vacial prejudice, How foolish and unnecessary such snobbery is we who have lived In Hawaii know full well. There a brown-skinned race set the social standards for vears as kings and 1ueens. The Hawallan has never been enslaved or degraded, and in Honolulu all races live together in tolerance and respect. There are no jlm-crow cars. There has never been a race riot or a Iynching. Hotels, restaurants, schools and barber shops serve all races im- partially. And life in Hawail is far happier and more wholesome for all concerned, because with a splendid background of missionary idealism, Hawali refuses to tolerate this fool- Ish social snobbery.

We must become world conscious! Again, we can move mightily agafnst the sinister forces that create race prejudice by securing and presenting the truth about men and races to the Ameriean public, and espectally to the rising generation. “This brings us to the point of it all—the great task of our total con- gregationalism. Missionary exten- sion boards and local churches must all combine in a great co-operative effort to know and present the great facts of human brotherhood. We have 5.680 pulpits that must proclaim them. We have 787000 young minds in our Sunday schools that must learn them. We have 39 colleges that must analyze and teach them. We have our great American Missionary ~ Association, with it negro, Indian and Chinese and Jap- anese work, its churches and schoo and colleges, which is a great lab. oratory of Christian racial attitudes and race relationships. We have the Congregationalist as a free and fear tess journal of Christian brotherhood. And,” beyond all our homeland agen- cles, we have the far-flung world-wide work of our American Board of Com- missioners for Forelgn Missions.” Other speakers at yesterday after- noon’s session, which was devoted to a united program of missionary boards and presided over by Rev. Dr. Chester 'B._Emerson, with *‘Partner- ship in a World Enterprise’ the theme, were Rev. Dr. Russell H. Staf. ford and Dr. Herman F. Swartz.

The Greek com- mander agreed, but requested a parole from the Bulgars that they would not attack while the Greeks were retiring. The Bulgars seem to have made such @ promise. The correspondents drove through the occupled area until Greek out- posts halted us with outstretched rifles. They sald pot to drive further or we would be Bulgarian prisoners, if we got that far. We turned around. Bales of army hay, which the Greeks did not have time to bring back, were burning, casting yellow smoke over the straw huts of deserted Bulgariun villages. We walked through the empty al- leys. All the houses were intact, un- damaged by the battle, but all showed signs of the hasty departure of the inhabitants. Red pepper strings hung on white-washed walls. Bright-colored garments were scattered around. A stray sheep bleated and a lost dog howled. The yards were filled with refuse. Ten thousand soldiers must sleep and eat, but the villages seemed to be surprisingly untouched. Gen. Zafiriou told the writer that orders were severe that the belongings of villagers were not to be molested.
