LOOTERS OF AIRSHiP
FACE THEFT CHARGES
U. S. Agents Arrive to Investigate
Pillaging-Navy Men Incensed
by Plundering.

By the Associated Press.
CALDWELL, Ohio, September s.
Two agents from the Federal De
partment of Justice arrived from Gin
cinnati today to investigate the loot
ing of the Shenandoah. They conferred
with Capt. George w. Steele, Jr., in
charge of the inquiry here,
Capt. Steele said that it appeared
to him that the pillaging was just
plain thievery, which might be pros
ecuted by the district attorney. 1t
probably will be first determined
whether the looting was done by SOU
venir hunters or by persons expecting
to market the stolen property.
A number of valuable instruments,
such as the paragraph, already have
been returned to the naval authorities
by farmers who found them on their
farms, where they must have dropped
from the Shenandoah.
The Navy men here were incensed
today when they received reports that
the cap worn by the late Comdr. Zach
ary Lansdowne was on display in
the window of a Wheeling, w. Va.
store, where souvenirs from the
wrecked ship are being sold at %
cents each.
Ray Karch of Greenville, Ohio,
home town of Comdr. Lansdowne,
conferred today with Capt. Steele rela-
the disaster for Greenville.

Wis ement- II was regarded as likely

War to the present and of commanding

American public.

Gen. Kinds Expects No Action.
Maj. Gen. Ernest Kinds. commander
Of the 8th Corps Area, had not read
Col William Mitchen's statement in
which he took the Army and Navy
Departments TO task for recent air
craft disasters. he said tonight.
Col. Mitchell has issued many state
ments in the past criticizing these de-
partmentS and unless he has gone
much further than heretofore, do not
expect any disciplinary action" Gen.
Kinds said.
II do not expect any word from the
War Department with reference to
Col. Mitchell's case tonight, even If
there should be occasion for com
munication with me at all. Should
there be a decision TO take disciplinary
action, or to investigate the au-
thenticity of Col. Mitchelfs purported
statement. it is unlikely that / would
receive orders before 10 or IL O'Clock
Sunday morning.
"Only in cases Of emergency, where
business is of the utmost importance.
are orders communicated 10 me by
the War Department at night, and II
is not likely that Col. Mitchells state
ment is of sufficient moment to war
rant this
Customary procedure in investiga-
tion of cases similar to the one In
Volving Col. Mitchell would be for
the War Department to request Gen.
Kinds to substantiate the authenticity
of the statement as carried in press
dispatches and make recommenda-
tions, after which the department
would consider the necessity of taking
disciplinary action, Gen. Kinds said.
$50 far, 1 have not read Col.
Mitchell's purported statement, nor
have l had any word from the War
Department" he concluded.

to give the public the impression that
selfrespecting Army officers are
ashamed OF their uniforms for rea-
sons he set forth or any others.
Legal experts Of the Army admitted
that an admission by Col. Mitchell
that he had made any one of the
statements attributed to him in this ;
connection would provide more basis
than Is ordinarily required for insti-
tuition of court-marital proceedings
against him.
Davis Is Silent.
NEW YORK, September 5 P).-
Asserting that II wouldn't do to get
into a public discussion with a sub
ordinate" Dwight Davis, Acting Sec
retary Of War, tonight declined
to comment on the statement of Col.
Mitchell concerning the Army and
Navy Departments.
|, He said that he would make no
statement until he returned to Wash
ington, which probably will be on
Monday, and possibly would not say
anything then.
Action and not words is what is
needed to deal with the situation, Mr..
Davis said, and added that the public
would know what that action was
when it was taken. He spoke of his
personal friendship for Col. Mitchell.
No Leniency Expected.
By staff Correspondent.
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, September 5.
President Coolidge could not be
reached tonight TO get d comment
from him upon the Gen. Mitchell
charges of criminal negligence and in
competency in the Army and Navy
services, but it was intimated by one
official close TO the President that Gen.
Mitchell may be called before a court
martial TO prove his charges.
Gen. MitcheN's charges, which were
taken as the latter's opinion as to the
cause of the collapse of the Shenan-
doah, are considered by this associate
of the Presidents as being very
serious and will be so considered by
the President.
1t is not thought that President
Coolidge will be as Ienientlv inclined
toward Gen. Mitchell in this incident
as with the generals recent dispute
with his superiors.

fense with subsecretaries for the
land, the air and the water, each to
have an equal voice in our national

by the way. has been adopted by

Berlin Physicist Declares Present
Construction Not Feasible.

BERLIN, September 5 O2).-Arnold
Wilhelm Rathjen, Berlin physicist,
today expressed the belief that Yep
pelins of the future must be con-
structed entirely Of metal without the
present series of inclosed gas balloons.
He has invented a dirigible. built en-
tirely of light metal into which the
gas may be pumped directly by a new
method which he has conceived. Rath-
jen contends that the all-metal ship
will have the two-fold advantage of
saving gas and being able to remain
outdoors, just as ocean vessels do,
not needing 10 be dragged into dry
docks after each voyage :

tice of the War Department, in deal
ing with problems such as are pre-
sented by the latest Mitchell pro-
nouncement, to determine the facts
in the case by official investigation
and then proceed along lines laid
down in Army regulations.
Col. Mitchell has been called sew
eral times lately to explain state
nlents attributed to him. Secretary
Weeks directed him to explain some
OF his testimony before the House
committee. where he advocated pas
sage of the Curry bill for a unified air
service which had been previously
disapproved by the War Department.
In this instance, Mr.. Weeks said he
was not concerned with expressions
OF personal views of the then Brig
Gen. Mitchell. But that his state
ments regarding War Department
practices deserved careful eXamina-
ton.
Was DENOTED by Chiefs.
Failure of Gen. Mitchell at that
time to give the War Secretary a
satisfactory explanation resulted in
the appointment of Col. James l..
Fechet to the office of assistant chief
of the Army Air Service upon the
expiration of Gen. Mitchelrs term
and led 10 transfer of the latter TO
duty in Texas as a colonel
Col. Mitchell has continuously put
forward his ideas of the value of air
craft since he was transferred and
on d recent visit to Air Service head
quarters declared he would carry the
fight for a unified Air Service and
for a general overhauling of the de-
fense system to Congress at the De-
cember sessions. His statements
aroused War Department resentment.
but no official notice was taken of
them.
After his return to San Antonio,
Col. Mitchell declared his intention to
tell the country the truth" about the
Air Service He said the book he had
written on Winged Defense" would
be supplemented at an early date by
a series OF articles TO lift the lid Of
secrecy which. he declared the War
Department had imposed on aviation
conditions, but he disclaimed respon-
sibility for the caroDons which appear
in the volume and which were said by
department officials to unfairly ridi
cule Secretary Weeks.
Officials Doubt Statement
Accustomed as departmental execu-
tives, civilian and military, are to
attacks by Col Mitchell, some We're
doubtful that he believed that the
Shenandoah and Pms No. disasters
were due TO '.incompeeency, criminal
negligence and almost reasonable ad-
ministration of the national defense
by the War and Navy departments. {"
Another assertion they found difficulty
in crediting to a brother officer was
one stating that conduct of the Avi-
alton Service had become so disgust
ing "as to make any seif-respecting
person ashamed of the clothes he
wears"
Instructions to Gen. Hines at San
Antonio undoubtedly VIII contain
specific references to these charges
and efforts will be made TO have Col.
Mitchell explain whether he intended
