William iitchell from the Army “in the >anie of the American people” as asked today by the War department prosecution in losing arguments of the flying jlonel’s court-martial. Mitchell was characterized as egotistical, flamboyant, iin •iithful and destructive.” Summing up all the evidence pro >uced in the eight weeks trial, Col. then Gullion, assistant judge ad vocate, in an impassioned oration, leclared the evidence had proven Mitchell guilty of conduct prejudicial o good order and discipline as ■barged, which is punishable under he Ninety-Sixth Article of War. Mitchell made a brief plea in his '\vn defense. He declared the case vas “the culmination of the effort f the general staff to depreciate the due of air power,” said he saw no tee in proceeding further and asked hat a r^menT“he* dispensed ’wlTh “he prosecution refused. In the Name of Truth Gullion demanded he be dismissed for the sake of the Army, whose iiscipline he has endangered and hose fair name he has attempted i discredit. “We ask his dismissal for the sake f those young officers of the Army Vir Service whose ideals he has shat ■red and whose loyalty he has cor ipted. "We ask his dismissal in the name f truth, under whose aegis he has mght protection but whose face he cs not know. ■‘Finally, we ask it in the name the American people, whose fears o has played upon, whose hysteria o has fomented, whose confidence 3 has beguiled and whose faith he s betrayed.” Sints Denounced "What punishment would, under iie custom of our service, be meted ’Ut to a soldier with only a sixth rade education who committed the (Tenses of which the accused has isen proved guilty?” Gullion asked, nd then answered his own ques on: "Confinement at hard labor, most •rtainly.” “How, then, can this unrepentant ccused, with all his advantages of 'ducation and position, be let off with less than dismissal?" Gullion denounced Mitchell’s wit nesses and labeled Admiral William .S. Sims as "opinionated, narrow minded, hobby-ridder and egomani a cal.” “bfy trial,” the deposed brigadier general said in his statement, “is the culmination of the efforts of the general staff of the Army and the eneral board of the Navy to de ireciate the value of air power and eep it in auxiliary position which •bsolutely compromises oqr whole stem of national defense. “Coolidge Misinformed” “To proceed further with the case mid serve no useful purpose.” “Secretary Weeks and indirectly e President were wrongly and un uthfully informed as to the condi gn of our aviation and our national sense by the persons furnishing e data on which Week’s letter (to esident Coolidge, explaining itchell’s demotion as assistant chief the army air service) was basecT" “The efforts to keep down our r power,” said Mitchell, "were be an as soon as the sound of the in non had ceased on the western ront in 1918. When we sunk the battleships off the Virginia Capes in 1921 and again in 1923 and proved to the world that air power had revolutionized all schemes of na tional defenses, these efforts were redoubled and have continued to this day. •‘My Charges Proved” “I wish to invite the particular at tention to the letter of former Sec retary Weeks to the President ask ing that I be not reappointed as as sistant chief of the air service on account of evidence given by me to a congressional committee. “I testified that the air service had only nineteen modern airplanes fit for war and that ail others were obsolete and many dangerous.

A great decrease this year in the amount paid into the city through the police traffic office by traffic luw violators, speeders excepted, is shown in a report filed with Police Chief Herman F. Rikhoff by In spector Michael J. Glenn and Lieut. Lewis Johnson of that division. While traffic violators paid $18,22!) last year, only $4,G29 has poured into the coffers so far this year. Glenn said that the fact that mo torists are learning to obey traffic laws is responsible for much of the difference in the figures. Last year 9,089 persons pleaded guilty to the traffic department, while only 2,311 did so this year. In addition the report states that 1,791 persons chosi to take their cases to city court, In preference to pleading guilty and paying an as sessment at the city clerk’s office. These were fined, in most cases, $2 and costs with the costs suspended. Johnson said the total paid in fines probably would be more than $3,000. Last year 57b went to court. According to the report, 4,263 per sons who received “stickers” from traffic officers, appeared in the traf fic office and were excused, either because they were out-of-town visitors or had some other good ex cuse. Those excused last year num bered 2,365. The distribution of the law viola 'tions show that 596 persons were found guilty In court on the charge of failing to have license plates, and eighty-two pleaded guilty in the traf fice office and paid the assessment. The next highest violation was over time parking, 257 being found guilty and 357 pleading guilty. Os those driving with open mufflers, 173 were found guilty and nine pleaded guilty. Improper parking was charged against 259 found guilty in court and 389 who pleaded guilty. Not a single motorist went into court on the charge of leaving a parked auto with the motor running, although twenty-seven pleaded guilty to the charge. TURKEY DROPS THREAT OF WAR Mosul Award Rests With Angora Assembly. Bu Timet Svccial GENEVA, Dec. 17. —“Turkey’s re lations with Great Britain will re main as heretofore, but the Mosul population, I am convinced, will never accept the League council's Mosul decision,” declared Turkish Foreign Minister Tewfix Bey today before departing for Paris. This deelaartion (perhaps signifi cant for the absence of any real "war” threat) supplemented state ments of Tewflk’s colleague, Rouschdi Bey, yesterday to the ef fect that the whole question of the Mosul award to Great Britain now rests with the Angora assembly. CM ms our IN SENATE Initial Barrage Fired by Sen ator Swanson, Author of Resolution Providing U. S. Adherence to Tribunal at The Hague. DEBATE EXPECTED TO BE LONG Alto BITTER Project Heralded as Great est Existing Agency in World for Settlement of international Disputes— League Lauded. By Paul R. Mallon f’nltu‘l Prv** Staff WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. The permanent court of inter national justice at The Hague was heralded today as the greatest existing agency for ajudication of world disputes by Senator Claude Swanson, Virginia, Democrat, in opening debate in the Senate on the Harding Coolidge plan for United States adherence to that tribunal. The Senate took up Swanson’s resolution embodying this plan as a special order of business made last spring. More than the necessary two thirds majority is reported sympathetic. Prospects are that debate will be long and perhaps as bitter as the famous League of Nations debate, with Senators Borah. Republican; Idaho and Reed, Democrat; Mis souri, leading the opposition. “Court of Wisdom” PnrTTCfpn this court by the United States, Swanson declared, will not embroil this Government in Eu ropean affaire, because “no im portant question” would be sub mitted until such action had been approved by the President and two thirds of the United States Senate. The court has demonstrated that it is able, independent, pains-staking and Is governed by wisdom and con scientiousness, he said. Any contention that the court is under domination of the League of Nations is false, Swanson said, be cause it operates as a separate body, under its own statutes, completely out of the jurisdiction of the league. "It Is this court for us, or none,” he warned. "The nations which en joy its benefits are pleased with it beyond measure and contemplate making no amendments, no modifi cations.” Swanson's speech required nearly four hours to deliver. “Are We Afraid” Opening his remarks, SAvanson pointed ,to the universal desire for peace. He warned that wars in the future would be more numerous and frightful unless ways are devised to settle international differences by peaceful means instead of by force, and asked: "Who among us would have Amer ica retire, surrender her pre-emi'- nence and fail to discharge fully the duty and responsibility which comes from her pre-eminent position? Are we to be timid vacillating and frightened by our own prodigious shadow it projects itself athwart the world?” Swanson praised the League of Nations as “the most potential fac tor in the world working for world peace and betterment,” but added: "The United States has determined not to unite with the League and 'there is no proposition pending be fore the Senate for this purpose, hence, any discussion of that matter would be ill-timed.” MRS. RUDY ASKS PARIS DIVORCE Action Reveals Marriage at Crown Point, Ind. Bu United Prctt PARIS, Dec. 17. —Natacha Ram bova, otherwise Mrs. Rudolph Valen tino, toda ybegan a divorce action against Rudolph Valentino, film sheik.

Marlon County commissioners to day announced that no more patients will be admitted to Julietta, county insane asylum. With the refusal to receive any more inmates, commis sioners said they hope eventually to close the institution. The county council will probalily meet immediately after Jan. 1 to ap propriate $70,000 to operate the In stitution during 1926, said Harry Dunn, county auditor. The council at its last meeting refused to approve and appropriation or tax levy for the maintainence of Julietta. County officials contended it was the State's place to care for the insane. Rescind Order Commisioners have rescinded their order to close Julietta by Jan. 1 and have ordered Dr. Ben jamin S. Potter to remove only epileptic patients, who will be taken to Newcastle, Ind. Dr. Potter said there are forty-one such Inmates under his supervision. Cassius L. Hogle, president of county council, declared Julietta will be closed "just as soon as it can be humanely done." He said that by deferring the closing the|e will be no hardship on inmates Or their families. For Children’s Home The proposal to establish a home for delinquent children at Julietta will be pushed as soon as possible, said Ilogle. Hogle said that a homf for correcting children was needed in Marion County. He denied that it would be used as an orphans' home. The possibility of the grand Jury investigating the removal of patients appeared unlikely following the ac tion of the commissioners. Judge James A. Collins took occasion to suggest a grand jury probe Wednes day when he overruled a motion for change of venue from county for George A. Weaver, builders of Julietta. MOVETOONST SMALL LIKELY Quo Warranto Proceedings Are Probable. llu United Press SPRINGFIELD, 111., Dec. 17.

IV/Tartha Lee’s Colujrrn Not Mortgaged Dear Mias Lee: I have been itoln? with a fellow off and on for almost two years I did not realize until the last six months how miieta I love him. I am 19 years old and think I know what I am saying is true. He takes me to Butler every morn inar and brings me home. I ee him all through the day. X have two girl friends that I love. A and B. For some time when A and I have been having double dates. A has been hanging around my friend. The other night when I eame home from work A and B were here. They left and my friend also left. He caught up with them and took them home. He sat outside and talked to A until he had Just time enough to go home and ready to go to orchestra practice at 8. B told me that A liked my friend very much and she thought he was beginning to like her. I am very disappointed in my friend A. be cause X love her and I lovo him. B lias proved the best ol the two. Please teli me what to do. BABE. Well, my dear, since you don’t hold a mortgage on the young man, you can’t consider him as personal property and put up “Keep Off” signs. You’ll simply have to be lovelier and more attractive than the other girl, in manner, poise, and companionship. And B proves the better of the two because she hasn’t one eye on your apple, eh? Has It occurred to you that B is spreading an unnecessary amount of pro paganda about this budding affair? For personal gain of your friend ship, B may be trying to start a mis understanding. And this is godd ad vice: Don’t believe all you hear and only half of what you see. po you know absolutely that your friend sat out until orchestra practice with A? At any rate, you may be sure that the jealous, sulky, suspiciou girl is not going to win out In thle triangle, so cheer up and outdo you rival. fHE LN JDIAN APOLIIS TiMLS And Dessa Byrd, expert on the organ, said she would do her Christ mas shopping before next Monday morning, so as to be on hand.

LETTER FROM KARL WHITNEY TO LESLIE PRESCOTT Dear Leslie: I had Intended to wait until you reached home to tell you about my plan, as mother Hamilton told mu you wope starting today, but a few moments ago John called me up to tell me the serious news about Mrs. Burke and your consequent remain ing away from home a little longer, so I am sending you my plan by letter. I wish, If possible, you would read It over carefully and let me know as soon as possible what you think of it, for the Orthopedic Hospital Is giving a bazar next week, and as you will read, the plan Includes giving them a part of the jewels to dispose of for the benefit of the bazar. Mother Hamilton met Paula Perier the other day, and thinking thut she might buy some of them froi, the bazar, told her what I was lr tending to do if I could get your cm sent. Miss Perier was very enthus lastic and said she would like to buy two of the bracelets and the big soli taire pearl ring. This, you know, is about two-thirds of the entire col lection in monetary value, as the other necklace, rings, earrings and bracleets are not nearly as valuable. She was so enthusiastic about the matter that at Mother Hamilton’s re quest, Jack got the pearls out of the safety deposit box and mother In vited Miss Perier to my huose to look them over. She offered $500,000 for the ones I told you she wanted. This, of course. Is less than they’re worth, but I think of course you will not find many purchasers because they are supposed to have brought such had luck to you and your fam ily. However, It Is said that pearls that are such bad luck to some are good luck to others. Miss Perier wants to buy these pearls direct from you. Consequent ly I will buy the rest of them at their experted value and present them to the Orthopedic Hospital to be disposed of at their bazar. You, of course, know that I built this hospital and have practically supported It for years. It needs something now to put It In the lime light, and the publicity department thinks It would be much better to give them the pearls and make a lot of sensational talk about it In the newspapers than It would If T Just gave them the money as I usually do. I Imagine that those I want to buy from you ought to bring in the open market about $300,000, but sold by the piece at the bazar I Imagine we could get half a million for them, -and It will make so much newspaper talk that I can bring some of the greatest surgeons In the world here THURSDAY, DEC. 17, 1925 to give their entire time to the hos pital.
