prosecution to "take immediate steps
to proceed to facilitate the defense by
securing the witnesses and documents
called for" An adjournment then was
taken until Monday to permit prepara-
tion and service of subpoenas. On the
list are Secretaries Davis of the war
department. Wilbur Of the navy depart
ment and Jardihe of the agriculture de-
partment; Everett Sanders, secretary to
President Coolidge and many high rank

others in civil life who have Shad con-
tact with aeronautics.
Some of those named are in Homo

was indicated that no decision had been
reached as to whether all of them would
be brought here.
The action of the court apparently
means that Colonel Mitchell will be
given free hand in threshing out the

air services were being administered
with criminal and almost reasonable

when he sought to have the charges
against him dismissed on the plea that
the prosecution had presented no proof

The petition asked that. the original
$65,OOO first mortgage bonds be. can
celled and alleged that convertible de-
benture bonds which had been accept
ed in exchange for second mortgage
bonds, were now valueless, and that the
second mortgage bonds now take the
stand of first lien on the Rio Grande
railway properties.

Cam Protect Trees
From CO1skey--DnUeupOYt
Law Provides Fee For
Inspectors s-Daven-
port Says

The Valley can be protected
from the danger Of importing
citrus fruit stock from canker
infested areas in spite Of the
ruling Of the attorney general
yesterday to the effect that the
commissioner can not levy an
embargo, according to an opinion
of Harbert Davenport, local at
torney, given this afternoon. '
In his opinion Mr.. Davenport
said. THE attorney generals
opinion covers an embargo, and
the commissioner does not have
authority to levy an embargo.
However, he has full authority
to enforce inspection restric-
tions and regulations which
would give the Valley all the
protection necessary.
"The commissioner OF agriculture
has taken the stand that under the
present situation he does not have
hence an embargo would be necessary.
''The low gives him power to author
ize inspectors to charge fees for in
spection which would furnish their
salaries, and the matter can be worked
out satisfactorily in this way"
The opinion of the attorney generals
office was furnished Commissioner
Terrell yesterday, and held that the
commissioner of agriculture in Texas
does not have authority to place an
embargo on shipments of infected cit
rus. or citrus from an infected section,
from other states.
Shipments may be refused which do
not bear an inspection certificate
from the state from which they origin
ate, as railroads are not permitted to
accept them, according to ruling by
the Attorney General, written by c. l..
Stone, assistant.
AN examination Of our statutes does
not disclose any statutory authority
empower ring the Commissioner of Agri-
culture legally to place an embargo or
establish a quarantine against the ship
ment of infected citrus nursery stock
into Texas from other states, unless it
could be said that such authority is
given by the Legislature by the language
he shall make and enforce such other
rules and regulations not inconsistent
herewith as may, be deemed necessary
to carry the same into effect You are,
therefore, advised that it is our opinion
that you are not authorized by the
statutes of this state to establish a
| quarantine against the shipment Of in
| fected nursery stock into Texas from
any other state, but should follow the
procedure as fixed by statute prevent
ing the shipment of sucn nursery stock
| into Texas from any other state, If the
| facts warrant you in SO doing"
The opinion stated that the commits
sioners' court has no authority to place
an embargo or maintain quarantine
against infected citrus nursery stock.
1t was also held that the mmission-
ers' court of any county in the state is
without authority to establish anC

ment of any citrus or nursery stock to

PARIS, Nov. 3.-Failure Of the so
cialists to grant support to Premier
Painleve's parliamentary declaration
has left the ministry in a very shaky
state.
Parliamentary and official circles
consider it most likely in case NJ Pain
leve again resigns, that former Premier
Herriot, leader of the radicals will be
invited to construct a new ministry
in this case they believe NJ. BRAND
would remain as foreign minister.
The new Painleve government in its
declaration of policy to parliament to-
day says it will "resolutely pursue,
with determination to succeed, the ne
gotiations with the allies. begun in
London and Washington by the preced-
ing government, with a view to settle
ment of the debts
The ministry's pronouncement finds
the financial problem the greatest fac
ing the country. AS was expected, it
declares for "a sacrifice in which will
participate all forms of wealth" and
the revenue from which is to be used
exclusively in reducing the debts
To accomplish its program of finan-
cia1 rehabilitation, the declaration says
the government intends to assure mon
etary stabilization.
The menace" Of the rebellion in
Morocco, it declares, has been COM
pletely swept aside. The first move
for peace must come from the rebelli-
Gus tribesmen.
AS for the troubles in Syria the gov
ernment says they arose from anti
foreign intrigue and "false news from
Pan-Islamci and revolutionary centers. .
1t lays down a program calculated
to hasten the hour when the peoples
of Syria shall be capable of governing
