CAPPER SUPPORTS
DAWES ON RULES
Calls Present Senate System
"Archaic, Into!erabIe and
IndefensibIe."
Rv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May Support for the
plan of Charles c. Dawes. the Vice
President, to revise the United States
Senate rules was voiced here yester-
day by Arthur Capper, Senator from
Kansas.
Il am in accord with Vice President
Dawes said Mr.. Capper.
II think he is on the right track.
There has been quite a large group
in the Senate who have favored such a
movement for several years, and VINO
think we have outgrown the rules
which have been governing the trans
action of Senate business"
Archaic, intolerable and indefensi-
ble," were descriptions the Kansas
Senator applied to the rules.
Saws Business is Blocked.
"They permit long debate and make
IL impossible to work out a ConStruc-
tive program. Those rules seriously
block action on important matters, ana
are largely responsible for long ses-
sions of Congress. But for them Gov
ernment business could be disposed or
more promptly. Congress could com
plete its business and adjourn"
Senator Capper said the matter un-
doubtedly would get some attention
when the new session of Congress
meets, but whether the feeling for al
terra ton was strong enough yet 10
enable working cut new rules he felt
unable to say.
They might have done well enough
80 years ago. but they do not fit in
under present conditions he said.

The report stated that prisoners
at Leavenworth cleared $40 acres
of land in Platte County, No., re-
Gently transferred from the War
Department to the Departnnt at
Justice, for use in connection with
the prison. The land has been
placed under cultivation with q
view to reduction Of prison costs.
The acquisition OF $40 acres Of
land for the use Of Mcneil Island
penitentiary will provide employ
ment for many prisoners. This
land contains approximately a
quarter of million feet of timber
and when the acreage is cleared,
drained and fenced a farm will be
established.
Farm Run at Profit
AT the close of the fiscal year
there were 1924 prisoners at
Leavenworth, White said. "The
income from Leavenworth farm
was $4,000, while the expenditure
necessary to produce this income
amounted to about $4,000.

The reference to hard work on
the part Of the court-which con-
sisted chiefly Of parading between

ber''-got a rise" out of Major
General Robert L. Howe, president
of the court.
"The~ physical endurance of this

put upon it, said Howe, sharply.
Counsel will bear that in mind.

hard as to change his mind?"
Reid said the length of the
specifications made it impossible
for the accused to know what part
of his statements were considered
illegal. This provoked a heated out,
burst from Colonel Moreland.
Whose fault it Is that these
statements are so long?" Moreland
demanded
A laugh swept the court room,
the first since the trial began.
"It is not my fault they are so
long," MoreIsnd added. THE de-
tense counsel certainly CAM ask
me to correct the voluminosity Of
the accused's statements.
Mitchell Joins Laugh
The crowd laughed again and
Mitchell joined in it at his own ex-
pense. Mrs. Mitchell tapped her
husband on the back. The jury
of generals smiled, too.
Reid again arose. He was white
with heat.
1.-The length of my clients state
ments was due to the terrible con-
C1ition of the national defense and
to his burning desire to bring this
condition to the attention Of the
American people," said Reid. "Even
the trial Judge advocate, hero in
behalf of the President Of the
United States, can't put us to trial
here on a whole basket full Of
things"
Moreland and Reid faced each
other angrily. Suddenly, Major
General Robert L. Howe, presi-

dent of the court, interrupted the
heated argument.
Please address the court, gentle
men," Howe said.
Reid AMI Moreland abruptly
stopped.

judges smiled.
"If / had a son in military law"
Reid replied, ST would ask nothing
greater than to have him as able
as the trial Judge advocate"
An Important Trial
Court then was adjourned until
10 o'clock Monday morning, to give
prosecution and defense time in
which to interview the Govern
ment's witnesses, who had just ar
rived from Texas.
The adjournment came after Reid
moved for a list Of the prosecu-
tons witnesses.
Moreland agreed, but asked for
recess until tomorrow so both sides
could talk to the witnesses" Reid
urged the court to adjourn until

This opinion was rendered by
Colonel Blanton Winship, law
member of the court, and fmmedie
ately confirmed by the jury Of
generals.
1t was the third reverse for the
defense in the last two days and
their last move to delay the actual
trial of Mitchell. 81.
With this technicahty gone
Mitchell faced the military of JUS
tice on the merits of his case.
When Mitchell made his plea the
jury and spectators alike main
tanned a death-like stiffness.
Colonel Sherman Moreland, trial
Judge advocate, put the question
to the accused flying colonel:
How do you plead to the
charges?"
Objection by Reid
Mitchell looked straight ahead.
His jacket was ablaze with mill
tary decorations. He snapped out
the reply: mot guilty" Moreland
then asked him how he pleaded to
each of the specifications, eight in
all, and each time Mitchell made
the same firm answer Of mot gull
ty."
AS Moreland began to read to
the court the parts Of the army
manual, referring to the conduct
of a court-martial, Congressman
Frank r. Reid Rep) of Illinois,
chief of Mitchell's counsel, arose
and objected to the trial being car

Reid and Moreland clashed over
the motion for a bill of particu-
lars and their arguments devel-
oped into a heated personal debate.
THE manual has been discarded
by this court in it's ruling yester-
day said Reid. "I object to this
trial being conducted under a dis
carded manual"
Colonel Winship at once over
ruled the objections and the court
again upheld his decision.
Moreland then read sections of
the manual setting out 'the gist
Of the offenses charged" against
Mitchell.
"a bill of particulars has no
place in a military court" said
Moreland. st don't think it is
necessary here"
This brought Reid to his feet.
Wants Specific Charges.
IT did maintain we had a legal
right to have the charges against
the accused couched in specific
terms" said Reid. But that was
decided yesterday by the court.
Now I ask for specific charges

Moreland declared the court hal

demanded. why, the trial judge

told this court it had every power

Peter Wold's new long-liner Attu 1 Wash, made her trial trip on Lake Washington February 8, and sailed a few days later for Portlock Banks. She is on the same lines as the Kama talk. built by Capt Wold in 1923 but is 5 feet longer with more beam and depth, being fl feet by F feet in. by feet in., and of very heavy and substantial construction. The keel and keelson are 10x12 with sister keel sons 14xS, edge bolted and double i sawed frames sided in. and moulded II in. at the keel and 4.5 in. at sheer, spaced IS inches on centers. She measures 37 tons net, having carry ing capacity of 65,000 lbs. For the present she will carry ten men and two dories, though fifteen men and five dories can be accommodated. The forecastle contains eight hunks be- sides large galley range, folding ta- ble and sink; while there are six hunks, together with a heating stove and wash stand, located aft of the en- 1 zine room. The water tanks carry TOO gallons.
 The main engine is 125 h. D.

A 45-ampere generator is run by the flywheel. The Olson & Sunde cable winch is connected up with the main shaft in way that saves space !; in the fish hold for about 5000 lbs, compared with some of the arrange ments used, leaving a small port be- tween the hold and the engine room for ventilation. A gurdy of the same make is placed in front of the hatch and a hand capstan for emergency use is placed on the forecastle head

NEVADA REFUSES
 TO ABOLISH GAS
 TO KILL SAYERS
DESPITE "BARsARlSM" CRY AF- TER DEATH TONGMAN, STATE
 LEGISLATURE WILL NOT ACT.

CARSON CITY, March 2O-Lethal gassing will remain the means of eX ecution in Nevada.
 That death by this method is the most humane inflicted today seems to be the contention of the majority of the Nevada state senators and assemblymen. Nevada pioneer in an untried method of imposing the age old penalty of tooth for tooth," executed a Chinese tong slayer with the deadly hydrocyanic acid gas in February last year.
 Ever since other states have watch ed with interest to see if the law calling for death by gas would De repealed by the state legislature.
 Nevada, so far as I know, has no intention of striking out the law that made the world gasp last year, said John l. Peterson, state senator. Al though capital punishment in any form seems horrible it is necessary and it is my opinion that the lethal gas execution is the solution of the humaneness of the problem
 Will Stick to Gas
 Many other members of the senate are of the same opinion. They de nounce electrocution, hanging and shooting, and say that if any bill in tended to repeal the lethal-gas law is introduced in the state legislature they will fight it.
 From the medical profession which was represented by several physi clans at the execution last year, on 1y one dissenting voice was heard
 One doctor charged that Gee Jon the convicted slayer had died from "cold and exposure" and not from inhalation of the deadly fumes This was later pointed out to be CT ronous by Warden Denver $ Dick erson, who called attention to the three electric heaters in the death cell and said that the temperature of the room was above so degrees Fahrenheit.
 Nevada's lethal-gas means of cap ital punishment had it's birth wher an Assemblyman from Elko county read a novel in which one of the characters committed suicide by the almond scented gas route.' The book described how painless that death was; and a bill to adopt this form of capital punishment was i'm mediately introduced in the legis lature and passed
 No certain gas was decided upon and no provisions for it's adminlstra ton were made. When Gee Jon, the tongman was convicted of murder it was found that the execution had to be by gas.
 Sanford Dinsmore, state food and drug commissioner, was called into consultation, and hydrocyanogen, 2 gas derived from hydrocyanic acid was decided upon The acid had beer in use for several years as a spray for fruit trees, and the gas had beer used to rid granaries of Vermin.
 Preparations were started imme diately on a death-cell, the building chosen being a ramshackle affair il the prison yard. The interior wa: covered with plaster and the window edges sealed with paraffin.
 Nevada then snuffed out Gee Jon: life, amid the cries of 'Barbarians! from other states. The execution was such a success from the humane standpoint, according to medica authorities, that it seems the stat will cling to the method and figh any attempts to repeal the law.
