Mae Advocate Hit Reiterating his charges that a eourt of inquiry has no real judicial function, Davies stated a letter sent him November 19 by the Judge Advocate General of the Navy— a highly technical and evasive let* ter*’—sought to give “the impres sion to the public that the so-called ’court of inquiry’ is a judicial tribunal operating under Tthe same procedure as a court.’* The lawyer pointed.out that in a legal court proceeding, Mrs. .Lans downe, his client, would have “the protection of a judge versed in the law of evidence” and “the protection afforded by the employment of two attorneys, representing each side of the issue, whose duty it is to pre vent the putting of improper ques tions.. to any witness.” He charged that the court of in quiry subjected Mrs. Lansdowne to “several hours of unfair exam- (Continued on Page 2.

President of Mine Workers WHEELER INDICTMENT NOT AT FAULT, U. S. ARGUES The Government's side in the argument on the sufficiency of the conspiracy indictment against Sen ator Wheeler of Montana, Edwin S. Booth, former assistant attorney general of the United States and Gordon iCampbell, oil operator of Montana, was presented today be fore Justice Bailey in criminal court No. 1, by William E. Leahy, special assisthnt te the Attorney General. Replying to Senator Walsh’s con tention that there was no limit fixed in the statute as to thq num ber of permits a prospector for oil or gas on the public domain might secure, Leahy replied that to permit unlimited number of permits would be to throw open the, public lands to possible monopolization lq?yond anything ever known in the history of the country. Leahy claimed that Congress THRE& CENTS] could never have intended to allow such results. A permit is but the “forerunner” of a lease according to' the interpre tation and rulings Os the Depart ment of the Interior, Leahy claim ed, and is bound by the same lim itations as the lease. The plea advanced by Senator Walsh that the court is without jurisdiction because of the acquittal in Montana, is insufficient, Leahy said. In the Montana case Wheeler agreed to receive money for using »his Influence after he had been elected to the Senate, it was charged but in this jurisdiction he is alleged to have knowingly participated in a conspiracy to defraud the United Staton. Leahy claimed Booth entered Into the alleged agreement to got the dummy permits for the purpose of aiding in the fraud. Thus tfte con spiracy indictment is good, Leahy claimed.

Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers at Amer ica, made public a letter to Pinchot accepting the governor’s peace terms as a basis of settlement and offering to meet the operators and begin negotiations if they likewise signify' their acceptance of the plan as a basis.

Governor Pinchot, after sub mitting his proposals for peace, is today on a tour of the State’s Insti tutions which will keep him away a week, his first stop being Pitts burgh. The governor, however, made it plain that he would return to Harrisburg immediately at any time that it was indicated his pres ence was needed in bringing about settlement of the strike. Operators Hesitate The situation today was this. The miners are willing to go ahead with Plnchot's plan as a basis for peace; the operators are not, or at any rato, are not going to be rushed into a resumption of negotiations with the miners. Governor Plnchot’s proposals call for immediate resumption of min ing and the setting up of a board of Investigation and award, which would have power to Increase wages at this time, or within tho five years the proposed agreement would run, provided such In crease would not increase the cost of coal to the public. Also, under the proposals, an operator would be compelled to assign a small amount of a miners wages as union dues upon his writ ten request. Furthermore, there would also be a conference to equalize wages and adjust working conditions. Ready to Confer In accepting Plnchot's proposals as a basis for settlement of the strike. Lewis wrote: “We stand ready at any time to meet in joint conference with the representatives of tho anthracite operators to negotiate an agree ment which shall encompass tho points set forth by you. “Promptly following such agree ment upon the part of tho opera tors, we will arrange for a re sumption of mining at the anthra cite collieries at tho earliest pos sible date.” 7 The governor proposed “Immedi ate resumption of work.

2 COAL OPERATORS WILL MEET TODAY TO CONSIDER PEACE TERMS MH HALT PINCHDT PLAN (Continued from First Page.) concluding of a definite .contract between the operators and them selves, and not before. Several operators are known to hold that the Plnchot plan Is “not economically sound.’* They contend that Its acceptance would mean that the industry would have to carry an additional burden amounting to approximately $1,000,000,000 over the five-year term embodied in the proposal. Added to this sum, they say, would be the amount the board of award might allow the miners. The operators prefer to settle on a basis whereby wages could be ad justed according to normal fluctua tions in costs of coal production. Plnchot Is Pleased PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. so.—Ex pressing satisfaction with latest developments, Governor Gifford Plnchot, of Pennsylvania, anthra cite coal-strike mediator, today voiced the belief that the miners acceptance of his plan of settle ment is the “beginning of the end.'* The governor left here early to day for Kittanning, Pa., after dictating a telegram to John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, in which he thanked the union chief for concessions made -liy the miners in the interest of a settlement. ■W" REHWK IS EXPUNEED (Continued from First Page.)

Mother On Stand When court convened Davis called Mrs. Georg? Jones, mother of Alice, to the witness stand. Aft*r a few perfunctory questions ad dressed to the witness concerning her daughter’s color, the witness wks excused. Davis then turned to Justice Morschauser and 'the jury and said; “Acting entirely upon my own discretion as an attorney and en tirely upon my own responsibility as an Individual, the defense rests its case." The spectators gasped. Leonard Rhinelander raised his gaze from the floor and appeared amazed. Even Justice Morschauser looked surprised. Isaac Milla, counsel for Rhine lander, sprang to his feet and shouted something about “this un expected announcement.” His pre cise words were drowned in the- up setting of chairs by newspaper re porters fighting their way to tele giaph keys and telephones Otito Court Clerk Mills, after the hubbub sudsided, informed the court -he wished to summon the clerk of special ses sions court to testify concerning the testimony of Ross Chidester, Rhinelander chauffeur, who testi fied last week that Rhinelander had told him he knew Alice's father was a negro “and didn't give a damn.” Mills said it would take forty eight hours to produce the court clerk as a Witness. The court sug gested Mills proceed with his other witnesses. Young Rhinelander then was re* called to tho witness stand. “Chidester is tho man who drove you and Alice to* the Marie An toinette Hotel the first time?” Mills asked- “Yes,” replied Rhinelander. Mills next read Chidester's tes timony. “I never discussed it with him.” declared Rhinelander. “Did he say that to you?” "It’s absolutely preposterous,” as sorted Rhinelander indignantly. DM y«4 Say “Damn.” "Did you hear Mrs. Jones say that Mr. Jones was regarded as a mulatto in England and a colored man in this country?" “No.” Davis began cross-examination of the witness. “Did you ever use the word 'damn?'" z “Yea” answered Rhinelander. "Do you use it quite often?” 2- “Very seldom.” “You understand that Chidester declared you used the vPbrd in con versation with him in discussing Alice's color?” “Yes.” “Did you say it?" “No, I did not.” Affidavit Denied Color Mills next offered In evidence the defendant's original amended answer in the suit. He also introduced the affidavit of Mrs. Rhinelander in her motion for alimony December 15, 1924, in which, Mills said, she claimed she was white.
