MITCHELL TRIAL
CLOSESNROW
Reid Objects to Member
of Court Calling it
All Dam Rot
fBy The Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov 2s.-A
new tension hung over the Mitchell
court martial proceedings today as
most of the court sought diversion from
the stormy atmosphere by taking in
the Army and Navv football game dur
inc a weekend adjournment.
The row between Brigadier General
Edward l.. King. member of the court,
and Representative Frank R. Reid Of
Illinois, chief defense counsel, has pro-
duced more troubled waters for the
tribunal and the sequel is yet to be re
corded
Meanwhile the navy department has
decided that the Shenandoah court OF
inquiry is not to be reconvened for the
purpose Of recalling witnesses for cross
examination by counsel for Mrs. Zach
airy Lansdowne in connection with her
charges that Captain Paul Foley, for
mer judge advocate of the court, at
tempted to influence her testimony be-
fore the court A request for such ac-
tion, and for a stenographic copy OF
all testimony relating to the incident,
submitted by Joseph f. Davies, counsel
for Mrs. Lansdowne, was denied yes
terday by Rear Admiral Campbell. judge
advocate general of the navy.
"Not All Rot" Reid Says
As to the Mitchell trial episode Of
yesterday. Representative Reid declar-
ed later that he would be satisfied to
move to strike from the record when
court convenes Monday, all reference
to the incident in which remarks by
General King overheard by the defense
counsel caused him to turn sharply on
court member with the exclamation;
"No, this is not damn rot and i OBJ
iect''
The incident occurred Mr.. Reid
was cross examining Major Jarvis J.
Balm, one Of the two prosecution wit
nesses presented yesterday. Fastening
to apologize, General King explained
that he was merely talking to anoth-
er member of the court. T"
Incident May Affect Trial
81 don't care who you were talking
to-" hotly returned Mr. Reid, who ad-
ded he wanted it in the record. In
his statement after adjournment how
ever. the defense counsel. announcing
that he would move TO strike it from
the record. said he would take no ad-
vantage of the incident. although as
every lawyer knows, were this civil
proceeding the jury would have been
immediately dismissed.
While there were reports that Cen
eral King would resign or ask to be
excused from further duty on the
court, it was the general opinion that
he would be content to have the Incl
dent simply erased from the record.
Even the procedure of having it eras-
ed, however. would leave reference
to the incident in the final record
which might be considered BY the re-
viewing authorities in considering the
validity of the trial.

PARIS, Nov. 2S.-Aristide BRAND of
ficially announced the formation and
/. personnel of his eighth ministry this
afternoon. The last obstacle to its
completion was overcome by the ac-
ceptance of the portfolio Of pensions
by Paul Jourdain. The new cabinet
follows:

: Agriculture: Jean Durand.
! Colonies: Leon Perier.
The cabinet, although falling short
OF the great concentration of all par
ties hoped tor in many quarters to face
the precarious financial situation, is
composed OF the safest elements in par
ilament and is the most moderate body
OF ministers assembled since the selec-
tions of May, 1924.
The complete elimination of extrem-
lists, both the communists and social

METHODIST MEXICANS
MISSION DOING GOOD
WORK IN FLAGSTAFF

In the article in The Sun last week
urging all Flagstaff people to go TO
church Sunday, March 20, and naming
the various churches of Flagstaff, the
name Of one was inadvertently omit
ted. 1t is one that is doing an espe-
cially fine work and not including it
in the list was purely an oversight.
The church referred to is the Mexi-
can Methodist Mission, of which the
minister is Rev. John Burman.
Despite it's name, the membership
is non-denominational, nor is either
membership or attendance limited
only to Mexican people. 1t has been
organized here for eight years. Dur
ing the last four years the meetings
have been held in the old Presbyterian
church building, which now is the
property of the mission and soon will
be located on it's own. site. There are
56 members. The average attendance
last summer was so.

About the Easf

The phrase Far East designates
China and Japan and that region OF
Asia that is most eastern, whereas the
Near East refers to the Leyant, Tur-
key, and the countries adjacent there
to. Originally in the political world,
Turkish affairs were referred to as the
Eastern Question. In those days, the
Victorian period, the regions of
the Far East were designated by the
names of the countries referred to. 1t
was only when the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
China was determined upon by Rus
sia and Japan that the phrase Far
East came into prominent use. The
word Orient Is derived from the Latin
orior, rise, and designates that part of
the earth in the East because the sun
Is said TO rise in that region.

Scotch Sailor Made
Immortal by Defoe

Alexander Selkirk was a Scottish
sailor whose adventures furnished De-
foe the basis for his immortal story of
Robinson Crusoe.' Selkirk, having
quarreled with his captain on one of
his voyages. was left on the island of
Juan Fernandez in 1704, with only his
gun end mufunitiOn, and a few other
neeess sEles OF life. There he remained
for more than four years. living on
game, and clothing himself with the
skins of goats. In 1909 he was rescued
by Capt. Woodes Rogers, and became
his mate. He afterwards attained the
rank Of lieutenant In the British navy.
Defoe has often been charged with
having surreptitiously taken the story
of Robinson Crusoe" from the papers
Of Alexander Selkirx, but the expert
ences of the real hero and those of the
fictitious one have so little In common
that Defoe seems indebted for little
more than the suggestion.-Kansas

Words Haze Changed
Somewhat in Meaning

If the words we use could bring up,
like a clnematograph film, the pictures
which lie behind them, conversation
would be more entertaining than it
is as a rule. For instance when we
say a thing Is diiapidated, we bring
up an image Of an ancient temple
crumbEing to ruin, for the root mean
ing of the word is 'crumbling stone"
Similarly, the word stunned means
thunderstruck, and ardent formerly
meant burning.
What remarkable picture the word
scandal calls up. It's original applica-
ton was to that part of a trap on
which the bait was placed and which,
when the trap was touched, sprang up
and caught the victim. Another odd
word is scruple, which originally meant
a little stone, in weights means twenty
grains, and In modern use means
something which hurts or worries the
conscience.
Irritate referred originally TO the
snarling of a dog Perplexed brings
up picture of being tangled in miles
of string, wound completely round and
round; whilst the word eliminate de-
notes what the man did to his ba-
rometer when 1t continued to register
Set Fair" after it had been raining
