trophe, as we'll as other recent NAL
adventures Of the Navy, will be in

"Theer is no question in my mind
but that this recent series Of dis

said in declaring that he was form

THE Navy Department needs a
cleaning from top to bottom and
the Senate must do it."
Courts of Whitewash"
King believes that politics An
spired the fatal flight Of the Shenan-
doah westward; he thinks the
crash Of the destroyers on the rocks
at San Pedro would shed true light
on conditions in the navy; he is con-
fident that the probable loss of the
PN.9.1 plane in the Pacific could
have been avoided but ne wants
Congress to bring out the facts.
"These courts Of inquiry the navy
department is appointing in. rapid
order are nothing but courts of
whitewash," King said.
Gould you imagine one OF them
holding the navy responsible for
the recent disaster.
They will hear all the evidence
they want to hear, and none~ef the
evidence they desire to keep out.
IT am drawing a resolution that
would provide for appointment Of a
special committee Of five Senators
to inquire into the recent sinking
of a submarine, the Shenandoah af-
fair. running Of destroyers on the
rocks at San Pedro. the Roma ca

Politics Is Involved
"Of course, they would send the
Shenandoah westward through the
dangerous storm belt to awe citizens
with the accomplishments of the Ad-
ministration. l don't think any one
will deny that politics is involved.
II am interested in the Navy and.
like Colonel Mitchell. l want to see
it progress. But many things must
be done and some undone.
II do not believe the authority Of
Congress has been given for ex-
perimental flights such as the Shen-
andoah was on when it crashed in
Ohio and killed fourteen men.
There are many things to de-
termine and no board appointed by
the Navy Department will determine
them"

KILLER OF GIRL
and CHAUFFEUR
PLEADS GUILTY
Son of Attorney, Kidnaper,
Presents Change of
Front.

Bu United Press
MONT CLAIR, N. j., Sept. T.
Harrison Noel, 20-year-old son of a
wealthy New York attorney, pre-,
sented a change Of front when
arraigned today before Police
Recorder Henry w. Trir1ble on a
charge Of the kidnapping Of 6-year.
old Mary DAILY.
Asked to plead to the charge, the
youth, who recently had been re-
leased from an insane asylum
muttered thickly: II plead guilty
Then drawing himself up to his
full height and looking at a group
Of officers in the court room, he
said steadily:
But gentlemen, I want you to
understand I did not kill anybody. .
The abductor during the night
calmly admitted he had put two
bullets into the kid" and
also confessed to another murder,
that Of Raymond Pierce, negro taxi
cab chauffeur, whom he shot through
the back Of the head to gain posses
sion of the motor car used in the
kidnapping.
After making his confession. the
youth led detectives to a lonely spot
near stone quarry on Preakness
Mountain, Little Falls. N. j.
Demanded Ransom
He went toward a clump OF
bushes. swept them back and re-
vealed the huddled, lifeless form of
Mary, daughter Of a wealthy Mont
Clair manufacturer.
At first Noel gave no motive for
his crimes. But step by step his full
confession was drawn. At one point
he admitted having kidnapped the
girl, but said no harm had befallen
her. Later he declared he had made
one telephone call for ransom. Then
from his lips poured the confession
narration of maniacal brutality
scarcely paralleled in the States
criminal history.
During the twenty-three hours he
was questioned Noel presented an
odd pathological state. At times he
was brilliant mentally, at other mo-
ments seemingly beclouded. There
was no fatigue as he parried the
queries shot at him, although occa.
sionally he would stare vacantly and
lapse into silence.
Mob Gathers
Chief Of Police Edward s. Reilly
said that Noel would be charged
with his crimes in two counties. He
will face a charge of kidnapping and
atrocious assault with intent to kill
in Essex County. Since Preakness
Mountain, where Mary was slain at
2 a. m. Saturday, is in Passaic
County, he will be charged with
murder there.
When word of the confession
spread through the city, crowds
gathered about the Jail. At one
time there were as many as 1000
persons and traffic virtually was at
standstill.
The throng seemed peacable
enough, although a great deal of
angry discussion was heard. A
drizzling rain dispersed most Of the
crowd. after midnight. Eighty po-
licemen and several State troopers
were on hand to prevent violence.

DISCIPLINE In
MITCHELL CASE
Up TO COOLIDGE
President to Be Final Judge
of Officers Degree of
Misconduct.

bu Cntte0 Press
WASHINGTON. Sept, THE fate
of Col. William Mitchell, former as.
sistant chief of the army air service
will be left in the hands of Presi-
dent Coolidge, army officers fore
cast today.
After launching a formal investi-
cation Of Mitchell's statement
through Maj. Gen. Ernest Hines,
commanding general of the eighth
corps area, acting Secretary Of War
Davis will place the question of pro-
ceeding against the fiery critic of
the war and navy department
squarely before the president.
The issues raised by Mitchell far
transcend the routine matter of dis
ciplining an insubordinate officer
and invilve the Administration, it is
said, requiring the personal decision
of the President on action to be
taken.
Mitchell declared that the Shenan-
doah disaster and the apparent loss
of the naval plane flying from San
Francisco to Hawaii with five men
aboard was direct result of the
'incompetency, criminal negligence
and almost reasonable administra
ton of the national defense by the
Navy and War Departments"
When Mitchell returns to San
Antonio from fishing trip he will
be asked by Major General Kinds
under formal orders from Washing
ton to affirm or deny his state
ments.
His reply, which undoubtedly will
be an affirmation, will be sent to
Davis, who will lay the whole
matter then before the President,
who is due in Washington, Wednes-
day.
Faces Court Martial
The flying general" who has
already suffered demotion and
banishpent from Washington for his
out-spoRen criticism of the Ad-
ministration's air policy, faces court
martial, dismissal, possibly Jail and
slander suits by high governments
officials whom he assailed as
grossly stupid"
Three courses Of action are open:
1. Prosecution for conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman,
the penalty for which is dismissal.
2. Prosecution for conduct projudi-
cial to good order and discipline. the
penalty for which is up to the court
martial and may include Jail
sentence.
8. Simple reprimand.

CaSIlng dSlde cares, 1nuldn-
apolis workers today joined the
nation in observing the forty
fourth annual Labor Day.
Thousands of workmen and their
families left the city for the lakes
and resorts. to enjoy the holiday.
The downtown parade custom was
abandoned.
Organized labor joined with State
fair oflciols in officially observing
the day. William II. Houston, inter-
national organizer Of the United
Mine Workers of America in West
Virginia, spoke at 10 a. m. at the
grand stand. James ]. Davis. Secre-
tary of Labor, who also was invited
70 speak, was detained in Washing
ton because of the anthracite miners
strike.
To Take New Life
From now on labor will take on
new life. The open shop has about
spent it's fury. We are now at
the bottom Of the movement to
smash labor organization" Houston
said.
After paying tribute to those who
work with their hands," and touch
ing on the significance OF the day.
Houston confined his remarks to the
Anthracite strike.
Arbitration was impossible be-
cause Of the position Of the operators
In refusing to do anything which will
advance or increase the cost Of pro.
duction. This stand made equaliza.
ton of wages impossible.
THE fight of organized labor will
center in West Virginia. where coal
is easily accessible.
Difference in Wages
There Is a vast difference in
wages there. and the union sought
to equali2e them so as to have har-
mony in the industry. Eventually
all the bituminous coal necessary
will be produced in West Virginia.
Organized labor will make a deter
mined fight for its rights. There are
about 10000 miners in that State
and only 25.000 are organized I
believe 30 per cent Of the nonunion
would strike II appealed to.
Houston predicted the anthracite
strike will last from sixty to ninety
days. Operators are only jockeying
around. The laborers are bound to
win, he said.
Effect Of the strike on Indiana
mines will not be as noticeable as
it was in 1902 when mines were
running four days a week. It will
be thirty days before it will be felt.
1T will be some time before the
situation can be relieved. Overpro-
duction must stop. Surplus miners
must be absorbed by other trades"
he declared.
Houston said he could not see
signs Of a period OF business pros
perity.
Huston. who formerly lived at
Terre Haute, has long been active in
labor circles.
