The War Department today or.

criticism of the army and navy air
services.
The instructions were sent TO
Brigadier General Samuel d. Rock

diction Mitchell has been since re-

placed under arrest, he will be un-
able to issue orders to any person
in the army. Mitchell will not be
confined. but will be permitted to
live at his hotel pending the out
come of the court-rnartial trial. :.
Notice of the arrest warrant ana
the army's charges was served upon
Mitchell while he was conferrlng at
the Capitol with Congressman Reid
R) Of Illinois his civilian counsel.
Mitchell said he would report at the
court-martial Wednesday. but re-
fused further comment.
Mitchell and Reid are preparing
batch Of documents and evidence
which they hope in some way to be
able to present to the court In sub
sanitation of the frying colonePs at
tack against the air service.
The charge for which Mitchell
must stand trial, conduct prejudicial
to good military discipline, however,
does not permit, in the view OF
army officials. and discussion by
the. court of the administration OF
he>air force, and would exclude as
irrelevant any defense along this
line.
Anticipating an exceptionally
heavy public attendance at the Ses-
sions, the War Department has ar
ranged to hold the hearings in a
building, now used as a store room
for army records, which contains a
large auditorium.

BRITISH AIR
CHANGES
Captain Biard's Accident
Means Substitute Plane in
Schneider Cup Tourney

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. "a
Great Britain's hopes in the
Schneider cup races, to be held here
tomorrow, received a setback today
when Captain Hubert Biard, dean
of the British pilots here, crashed
his plane about a mile off Bay
Shore this morning during a prac-
tice flight.
Captain Biard, who was flying
the S-4, conceded to be the British
best bet" was badly shaken up,
but was not injured seriously,
which was considered almost q
miracle, as his ship nose-dived a
thousand feet into shallow water.
TIL plane was badly damaged.
Its nose was stuck in the soft mud
of the bottom, its propeller shat
tered and it's whole structure SO
weakened that it will be impossible
to use it in the races. 1t may be
a total loss.
One Of the Gloster planes will be
substituted in its stead, the British
said.
The accident. occurred as Captain
Biard was practicing over the cup
course. The course calls for some
extremely sharp tu4ns and in max
ing one of these observers saw the
ship go into a spin and head down
ward for the water. Apparently the
British pilot could not get it in
control before she struck.
One of the other British pilots
who also was practicing saw the
crash and came down and landed
in the water near the disabled ship.
He TAXED over to the stricken yes
sci and threw Captain Biard a life
preserver, which supported him
until a boat put out from shore
and picked him up.
Bard was engaging in the naviga
BILE flight practice required of all
pilots. preliminary to the cup races.
The flight included a trip around
the course. taxing for a start,
landing and tieing up to a buoy
for six hours without repairs or aid
to the plane or pilot. Each pilot
and plane must pass this test before
flying in the race.

ASK
ESTATE TAX
REPEAL
Committee May Probe Source
of Money for Campaign
Against Levy
By A. O. HAYWARD

A procession of State COVER
nors and their representatives
filed by the Ways and Means
Committee, which is framing the
new tax law, today, and lent their
support to the Coolidge Mellon
drive for abolition of Federal in
heritance taxes.
The magnitude and vigor of the
drive for repeal of the death tax
on big estates was distinctly sur
prising to the trainers of the new
law-so much so, in fact that sew
eral members of the committee
suggested it might be well to
Investigate" the interests behind
it.
Campaign Well Financed
Congressman Rainey CD of
Illinois, one member Of the COM
mittee, declared that "for. months
there has been an intensive and ex-
pensive educational campaign on in
my district to repeal this law"
arguments used against this
estate tax are economically un-
sound" said Rainey, but they are
widely disseminated. l, for one,
would like to know where the
money comes from to finance this
campaign"
Both Chairman Green of Iowa
and Congressman Garner CD of
Texas expressed surprise at the
growth of the tax clubs" in their
respective States. The Texas and
Iowa tax clubs have had a field
day before the committee, urging
repeal Of the estate tax.

kilograms also have been received
from q tax conference at Portland,

Help Comes in Time-Youth
Sought by Police

An unidentified colored youth il
being sought by police today, fol.
lowing his attack on two young
women last night within hal1
hour. The youth was described
by both girls as about twenty
years old, light brown, of normal
build and average height, wearing
q light gray coat, dark trousers
and a SLOUGH cap pulled over his
eyes.
The victims are Miss Edna
Plato, seventeen, daughter Of Mrs.
Louise McCarriek, of 604 Gresham
place northwest, and Mrs. E. M.
Hirsch, twenty-five, of COL Column
bia road northwest, two blocks to
the north.
Beats Off AssaiIant
Mrs. Hirsch told police she was
returning home from a store on
Georgia avenue, block away, about
s:15 o'clock last night, when she
was grabbed from behind at an
alley few yards from her home,
dragged into the alley and hurled
to the ground She screamed and
fought several moments with her
assailant, who held her more tightly.
Several neighbors came running
and the youth ran away.
Miss Plato's story was identical.
She was returning from drug
store about S:45. and as she passed
an alley less than block from
her home, was seized and thrown
down. She fought with the youth
"for a long time" and tried to
scream, but his hand kept her
mouth covered. Meanwhile he re-
peated many times. III shoot you

Youth Escapes
Finally she managed to scream,
and after long time more.
neighbors ran up, the youth escap-
ing. The girl said today that her
assailant had been drinking. and
talked incoherently. but was very
strong.
Police were summoned and
secured the neighborhood, but no
one answering the description was
found. The search is continuing
today throughout the section. and
many young colored men are likely
TO be quizzed about their where
abouts. Both girl victims are sure
they can identify the assailant.
The streets where the attacks
occurred are lighted. and women
of the neighborhood have never
felt any hesitation about going
out alone at night. The coIored
residential section is just across
Georgia avenue. The similarity of
the two cases, the early hour, the
youth of the victims and the diff
ficulty of locating A fugitive in
that neighborhood near the res
ervoir, have increased the alarm OF
the residents.
