years and more after the inquiry wa,

session is to receive a report on the
investigation into the fairness of the
court martial verdict dismissing from
the service Captain Edmund G.. Cham
berlain, young marine corps aviator
because of his story of sensational
battle with German airplanes on the
western front in 1918.
Chamberlain claimed that while on
furlough he visited British sector
obtained an airplane and while with a
British bombing expedition shot down
five German planes, damaged two 9TH
ers and sweeping earthward in his own
damaged plane. scattered a detachmen,
of German soldiers.
On the basis Of Chamberlain's story,
the navy department recommended him
for the highest honor for gallantry and
courage, the congressional medal of
honor. The young officers story soon
was challenged and instead of the med
al he received dismissal from the SER
xice after court martial in Paris and
London.
The senate investigation was ordered
early in 1921 on motion of Senator
Sheppard Of Texas, in which state
Chamberlain lived. A. b-committee
of three senators opened the hearings
on June 25. 1921, and the inquiry went
forward internationally for nearly -four

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 14.-Be-
fore the next session Of the Mitchell
court martial is held, the Shenandoah
navy court of inquiry will probe for it
self the incident to which Mrs. Mar
garet Ross Lansdowne testified before
the Mitchell court as constituting al
attempt to influence her testimony in
the Shenandoah inquiry.
Denied an opportunity at this time
to reply before the Mitchell court, to
Mrs. Lansdowne's charge that he had
sought to- influence her testimony in
the statement she was to make before
the naval court, Captain Paul Foley
has asked Secretary Wilbur to relieve
him as judge advocate of that court so
that he can make his reply at once as
a witness before that body. Secretary
Wilbur has taken the request under ad-
visement.
The Shenandoah court. with several
other witnesses summoned for its in
quiry into the matter, will meet Mon
day. The Mitchell court recessed yes
terday until Tuesday after refusing su
strike out Mrs. Lansdownes testimony
as sought by the prosecution, and de-
clining to hear Captain Foley. The lat
ter asked that he be permitted to tes-
tffy now as matter Of personal priv
ilege and fair play" but the defense
objected on the ground that rebuttal
testimony should not be permitted un-
til the defense concluded its case.
In asking to be relieved as judge ad-
vocate Of the naval court, Captain Fo-
ley said Mrs. Lansdownes testimony
that he had prepared and sent to her
a statement she was to read to that
body and which falsely represented hel
attitude on the Shenandoah matter, hac
made him an interested party in that
inquiry. As consequence he felt that
he could not continue as the court Of
ficer charged with eliciting all the fact;
in the Shenandoah inquiry.

KILLEDON
MEXICORANCH
FROM AMBUSH
One of Dead Said to be
Wanted In Connection
With Staying of Bob
Rumsey at Laredo

Refugio Echazareta, age 35, said to be
wanted in connection with the Staying
of Bob Rumsey, noted border customs
officer, at Laredo three years ago, and
his nephew, Emilio Echazareta, age 16,
are dead from wounds received when
they were shot last night from ambush
up the river from Matamoros.
The Staying Of Bob Rumsey at Laredo
aroused feeling along the border which
led to more stringent rules against
smugglers along the border. Rumsey
was shot to death while he and other
officers were in the act Of arresting
several men alleged to be smugglers.
The shooting last night was done
with shot gun, loaded with buckshot
two shots being fired. Emilio died at
once, his head being riddled with the
shot, and Refugio died at the Mata-
moros hospital, where both men were
brought following the shooting, at 8
o'clock this morning.
The shooting took PLACE near the
Taguachal ranch, which is about Is
miles up the river, on the Mexican side,
from Matamoros. Refugio Echazareta
lived on ranch which he owned near
the scene Of the shooting.
The man and boy were on their way
to Matamoros at midnight last night,
and stopped to open gate. As Emilio
got out Of the light touring car in which
they were riding to open the gate the
shooting took place. Two shots were
fired in rapid succession, and both men
left for dead. Refugio was only wound
ed, however, dying later in Matamoros.
Emilio Echazareta, 16 year old youth
who was killed in the ambuscade last
night, was the son of the late Colonel
Antonio Echazareta, who was executed
in Matamoros in June, 1913, by General
Blanco, when that revolutionist cap
tured the city of Matamoros. The
mother Of the youth still lives in Mata-
ntoros, tnd Emilio lived there until
the time of his death last night.
No arrests in connection with the
shooting had been reported up to noon
today, although officers were making a
search.
1t was rumored here that the shooting
was due to political enmity, and that it
is continuation of the Cardenas-
Benavides feud which has caused sew.
eral deahs in the city of Matamoros and
vicinity in the past few years.
